MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis is presented to provide information concerning 1st Source Corporation and its subsidiaries’ (collectively referred to as “the Company”, “we”, and “our”) financial condition as of June 30, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the financial and statistical data appearing elsewhere in this report and our 2025 Annual Report.
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document express “forward-looking statements.” Generally, the words “believe,” “contemplate,” “seek,” “plan,” “possible,” “assume,” “hope,” “expect,” “intend,” “targeted,” “continue,” “remain,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “may” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements, including statements, projections, estimates or assumptions concerning future events or performance, and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact, are subject to material risks and uncertainties. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We may make other written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time. Readers are advised that various important factors could cause our actual results or circumstances for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in law, regulations or GAAP; our competitive position within the markets we serve; increasing consolidation within the banking industry; unforeseen changes in interest rates; unforeseen changes in loan prepayment assumptions; unforeseen downturns in or major events affecting the local, regional or national economies or the industries in which we have credit concentrations; potential impacts of epidemics, pandemics or other infectious disease outbreaks; and other matters discussed in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2025, which filings are available from the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our total assets at June 30, 2026, were $9.26 billion, an increase of $207.90 million or 2.30% from December 31, 2025. Total investment securities available-for-sale were $1.53 billion, an increase of $5.20 million or 0.34% from December 31, 2025. Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks were $59.81 million, an increase of $9.20 million or 18.17% from December 31, 2025. The increase in federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks was due to higher interest bearing deposits at other banks.

Table of Contents
Total loans and leases were $7.22 billion, an increase of $173.28 million or 2.46% from December 31, 2025. The largest contributors to the increase in loans and leases was growth in the renewable energy, commercial and agricultural, construction equipment, and commercial real estate portfolios, offset by decreases in the auto and light truck, aircraft, and consumer portfolios. Our foreign loan and lease balances, all denominated in U.S. dollars, were $305.31 million and $319.93 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Foreign loans and leases are in aircraft financing. Loan and lease balances to borrowers in Brazil and Mexico were $139.15 million and $151.99 million as of June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $136.98 million and $163.70 million as of December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there was not a significant concentration in any other country.
Equipment owned under operating leases was $5.62 million, a decrease of $1.35 million, or 19.33% compared to December 31, 2025. The largest contributors to the decrease in equipment owned under operating leases was reduced leasing volume primarily due to a change in customer preferences and continued competitive pricing pressure for new business.
Total deposits were $7.43 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $206.67 million or 2.86% from December 31, 2025. Changes to the mix in total deposits included higher interest-bearing demand deposits, brokered deposits, time deposits, and savings deposits. Rate competition for deposits persisted during the second quarter across our footprint from various sources, including traditional bank and credit union competitors, money market funds, bond markets, and other non-bank alternatives.
Short-term borrowings were $199.49 million, a decrease of $39.13 million or 16.40% from December 31, 2025, due primarily to a decrease in federal funds purchased. Long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable securities were $36.03 million, a decrease of $7.30 million or 16.86% from December 31, 2025, due primarily to the maturity of a $10.00 million long-term borrowing. Accrued expenses and other liabilities were $183.47 million, an increase of $12.58 million or 7.36% from December 31, 2025, mainly due to increased unfunded partnership commitments offset by decreased reserves for employee benefit plan contributions.

The largest contributor to the increase in accrued income and other assets from December 31, 2025, was an increase in partnership investments.
CAPITAL
As of June 30, 2026, total shareholders’ equity was $1.31 billion, up $35.42 million, or 2.78% from the $1.27 billion at December 31, 2025. In addition to net income of $87.50 million, other significant changes in shareholders’ equity during the first six months of 2026 included $23.35 million in common stock repurchased and $20.18 million of dividends paid. The accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity increased to $46.52 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $34.78 million at December 31, 2025, due to changes in interest rates, market spreads, and market conditions on our available-for-sale investment portfolio subsequent to purchase. Our shareholders’ equity-to-assets ratio was 14.15% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 14.08% at December 31, 2025. Book value per common share increased to $54.41 at June 30, 2026, from $52.32 at December 31, 2025, primarily due to increased retained earnings.
We declared and paid cash dividends per common share of $0.43 during the second quarter of 2026. The trailing four quarters dividend payout ratio, representing cash dividends per common share divided by diluted earnings per common share, was 23.13%. The dividend payout is continually reviewed by management and the Board of Directors subject to the Company’s capital and dividend policy.
The banking regulators have established guidelines for leverage capital requirements, expressed in terms of Tier 1 or core capital as a percentage of average assets, to measure the soundness of a financial institution. In addition, banking regulators have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates or judgments reflect management’s view of the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our overall financial performance. Because these estimates or judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. As such, changes in these estimates, judgments, and/or assumptions may have a significant impact on our financial statements. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 1), should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how our financial performance is recorded and reported.
We have identified the following two policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex estimates or judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and fair value measurements. Management believes it has used the best information available to make the estimations or judgments necessary to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from estimates or judgments and future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact net income. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Following is a discussion of the areas we view as our most critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our existing loan and lease portfolio and the establishment of an allowance that is sufficient to absorb those losses. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In determining an appropriate allowance, management makes numerous judgments, assumptions, and estimates which are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. These estimates are derived based on continuous review of the loan and lease portfolio, assessments of client performance, movement through delinquency stages, probability of default, losses given default, collateral values, and disposition, as well as expected cash flows, economic forecasts, and qualitative factors, such as changes in current economic conditions.
As stated in Note 1, we segment our loan and lease portfolios based on similar risk characteristics for collective evaluation using a non-discounted cash flow approach to estimate expected losses. We use a cohort cumulative loss methodology for select loan and lease segments. The cohort methodology has a steady state assumption. For other segments, we use a PD/LGD (probability of default/loss given default) model which aligns well with our internal risk rating system. When we observe limitations in the data or models, we use model overlays to make adjustments to model outputs to capture a particular risk or compensate for a known limitation, or in the case of the cohort model, changes in the steady state assumptions. Actual losses may differ from estimated amounts due to model inefficiencies or management’s inability to adequately determine appropriate model adjustment factors.
Additionally, we are required to use forecasts about future economic conditions to determine the expected credit losses over the remaining life of the asset. Forecast adjustments are inherently challenging for many reasons including, the current macroeconomic environment, a softening labor market, heightened geopolitical uncertainty, inflation which remains above long-term policy targets, and interest rates that are still restrictive despite recent easing. We endeavor to apply a forecast adjustment that is directionally consistent, reasonable, supportable, and reflective of current expectations and conditions. We use a two-year reasonable and supportable period across all loan and lease segments to forecast economic conditions. We believe the two-year time horizon aligns with available industry guidance and various forecasting sources. Following this two-year forecasting period, we use a two-year reversion period to revert forecast rates to historical loss rates.
In assessing the factors used to derive an appropriate allowance, management benefits from a lengthy organizational history and experience with credit decisions and related outcomes. We have been diligent in our efforts to review our portfolios, loan segmentations, methodologies and models and believe we have made appropriate and prudent decisions. Nonetheless, if management’s underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the allowance for credit losses would have to be adjusted. Our accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses is disclosed in Note 1 under the heading “Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Fair Value Measurements — We use fair value measurements to record certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities, trading account securities, mortgage loans held for sale, and interest rate swap agreements are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of, or specific reserves against, individual assets. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-driven or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market data. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market data, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and data are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in the market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we use valuation techniques that require more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement. Fair value is discussed further in Note 1 under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” and in Note 21, “Fair Value Measurements.”
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income available to common shareholders in 2025 was $158.28 million, up from $132.62 million in 2024 and up from $124.93 million in 2023. Diluted net income per common share was $6.41 in 2025, $5.36 in 2024, and $5.03 in 2023. Return on average total assets was 1.76% in 2025 compared to 1.52% in 2024, and 1.48% in 2023. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 13.16% in 2025 versus 12.54% in 2024, and 13.48% in 2023.
Net income in 2025, as compared to 2024, was positively impacted by a $47.36 million or 15.74% increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by a $13.24 million or 6.50% increase in noninterest expense. Net income in 2024, as compared to 2023, was positively impacted by a $22.17 million or 7.96% increase in net interest income, which was offset by a $6.60 million increase in provision for credit losses, a $4.32 million or 4.76% decrease in noninterest income and a $1.88 million or 0.93% increase in noninterest expense.
Dividends paid on common stock in 2025 amounted to $1.52 per share, compared to $1.40 per share in 2024, and $1.30 per share in 2023. The level of earnings reinvested and dividend payouts are determined by the Board of Directors based on various considerations, including liquidity needs, capital requirements, and management’s assessment of future growth opportunities and the level of capital necessary to support them.
Net Interest Income — Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and leases and investment securities while deposits and borrowings represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is done on a tax-equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable.
Net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) is significantly affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin on a fully taxable- equivalent basis was 4.07% in 2025, compared to 3.64% in 2024 and 3.51% in 2023. Net interest income was $348.18 million for 2025, compared to $300.82 million for 2024 and $278.65 million for 2023. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $348.79 million for 2025, up $47.38 million from the $301.40 million reported in 2024. Tax-equivalent net interest income for 2024 was up $22.02 million from the $279.39 million reported for 2023.
During 2025, average earning assets increased $279.10 million or 3.37% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $128.46 million or 2.20% over the comparable period in 2024. The yield on average earning assets increased 16 basis points to 6.01% for 2025 from 5.85% for 2024 primarily due to higher loan and lease average balances and higher rates on investment securities offset by lower rates on other investments, which include federal funds sold, time deposits with other banks, Federal Reserve Bank excess balances, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock and commercial paper. Total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points to 2.79% during 2025 from 3.14% in 2024 mainly as a result of repricing of interest-bearing deposits and lower rates and average balances of other short-term borrowings which is primarily short-term FHLB borrowings offset by higher rates on mandatorily redeemable securities. The result to the fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin was an increase of 43 basis points.

Table of Contents
The largest contributors to the increase in the yield on average earning assets in 2025 was an increase in average loan and lease balances and higher rates on taxable investment securities. During 2025, average loans and leases increased $336.29 million or 5.10% from 2024 while the yield decreased to 6.79% from 6.84% in 2024. Strong growth primarily within our Renewable Energy portfolio and selective growth in our Commercial Real Estate portfolio drove total average loans and leases higher during the year. Net interest recoveries positively contributed seven basis points to the yield on average loans and leases during 2025 and three basis points to the average loans and leases yield during 2024. The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased 81 basis points to 2.53% while the average balance decreased $73.56 million or 4.68% with the largest decreases in U.S. treasury and federal agency securities and state and municipal securities. Average mortgages held for sale increased $0.66 million or 20.45% during 2025 while the yield decreased 33 basis points. Average other investments increased $15.71 million or 13.96% during 2025 while the yield decreased 72 basis points. The average balance increase in other investments was primarily a result of higher balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $270.38 million or 4.91% during 2025 while the effective rate paid on those deposits decreased 33 basis points. The increased average balance was primarily due to increases in non-brokered time deposits and money market accounts. The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of Fed rate cuts during the second half of 2024 and second half of 2025. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $7.05 million or 0.44% during 2025 due primarily to persistent rate competition for deposits and greater utilization of excess funds by our business customers.
Average short-term borrowings decreased $142.22 million or 62.15% during 2025 while the effective rate paid decreased 209 basis points primarily due to the maturity and pay off of $100 million in borrowings from the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program. Average long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable securities balances increased $0.31 million or 0.75% during 2025 while the effective rate increased 364 basis points primarily due to a higher imputed interest on mandatorily redeemable securities from an increased improvement in book value per share during 2025 compared to 2024. Mandatorily redeemable shares are issued under the terms of one of our executive incentive compensation plans and are settled based on book value per share with changes from the previous reporting date recorded as interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components) and net interest margin (including its individual components). Management believes that these measures provide users of the Company’s financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The following table shows the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for the most recent three years ended December 31.

Trust and wealth advisory fees (which include investment management fees, estate administration fees, mutual fund fees, annuity fees, and fiduciary fees) increased in 2025 from 2024, compared to an increase in 2024 over 2023. Trust and wealth advisory fees are largely based on the number and size of client relationships and the market value of assets under management. The market value of trust assets under management at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $6.28 billion and $5.97 billion, respectively. The positive performance of the stock and bond markets during 2025 resulted in an increase in the market value of trust assets under management compared to 2024. At December 31, 2025, these trust assets were comprised of $4.37 billion of personal and agency trusts and estate administration assets, $1.05 billion of employee benefit plan assets, $0.66 billion of individual retirement accounts, and $0.20 billion of custody assets.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased in 2025 from 2024, compared to an increase in 2024 from 2023. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2025 was primarily due to higher consumer nonsufficient fund and overdraft transactions. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2024 was primarily due to a higher volume of business deposit account fees.
Debit card income remained relatively flat during 2025 following a slight decrease during 2024. The decline in 2024 to 2023 was related to shifts in both client transaction behavior and the networks over which those merchants are routing transactions.
Mortgage banking income decreased in 2025 over 2024, compared to an increase in 2024 from 2023. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, we determined that no permanent write-down was necessary for previously recorded impairment on MSRs. During 2025, mortgage banking income decreased due to lower margins on loans originated for the secondary market and a reduction in servicing fees resulting from fewer loans being serviced for others. During 2024, mortgage banking income increased due to higher production of loans originated for the secondary market resulting in increased income on loans sold into the secondary market.
Insurance commissions increased in 2025 compared to 2024, and decreased in 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in 2025 was primarily due to higher contingent commissions received and an increased book of business. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to fewer contingent commissions received.
Equipment rental income generated from operating leases decreased during 2025 from 2024, compared to a similar reduction during 2024 from 2023. The average equipment rental portfolio decreased in 2025 and 2024 as a result of reduced leasing volume primarily in the medium and heavy duty truck and construction equipment portfolios due to changing customer preferences and competitive pricing pressures for new business. In 2025 and 2024, the decline in rental income was offset by a similar decline in depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases.
Losses on investment securities available-for-sale during 2025 were exclusively the result of repositioning the portfolio during the second, third, and fourth quarters. In the combined repositioning trades, approximately $256 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 0.92% were sold and used to purchase approximately $254 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 3.66%. In the 2024 repositioning, approximately $63 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 0.71% were sold and used to purchase approximately $63 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 4.64%. In the 2023 repositioning, approximately $40 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 1.10% were sold and used to purchase approximately $40 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 4.80%. The remaining 2023 losses were the result of sales to support liquidity and fund loan growth during the first quarter.

Other income increased in 2025 from 2024, compared to a decrease in 2024 from 2023. The increase in 2025 was mainly a result of higher partnership investment gains on sale of renewable energy tax equity investments of $2.07 million, an increase in brokerage commissions and fees of $0.41 million, and increased customer interest rate swap fees of $0.54 million offset by a write-down of $0.77 million on a small business capital investment. The decrease in 2024 was mainly a result of lower partnership investment gains on sale of renewable energy tax equity investments, a writedown of $0.86 million on a small business capital investment and a reduction in customer interest rate swap fees of $0.48 million, offset by increased brokerage commissions and fees of $0.84 million and rental income of $0.23 million related to a repossessed asset.

Total salaries and employee benefits increased in 2025 from 2024, following an increase in 2024 from 2023.
Employee salaries grew $5.21 million or 5.16% in 2025 from 2024, compared to an increase of $7.45 million or 7.97% in 2024 from 2023. The increase in 2025 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases and a rise in incentive compensation. The increase in 2024 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases, the impact of wage inflation, and an increase in the number of employees from the filling of prior open positions and lower employee turnover as well as an increase in incentive compensation.
Employee benefits increased $2.45 million or 11.67% in 2025 from 2024, compared to a $1.15 million or 5.20% decrease in 2024 from 2023. During 2025, group insurance costs were higher due to overall higher health insurance claims experienced and an increase in employer profit sharing contribution expense due to the utilization of accumulated plan forfeitures to offset employer contributions in the prior year. During 2024, group insurance costs were lower due to fewer claims experienced and the utilization of accumulated plan forfeitures of $0.65 million to offset current year employer contribution expense.
Occupancy expense rose in 2025 from 2024, compared to an increase in 2024 from 2023. The expense increase in 2025 was primarily the result of higher building depreciation and increased premises expenses. The expense increase in 2024 was primarily the result of increased premises expenses and higher rents.
Furniture and equipment expense, including depreciation, increased in 2025 from 2024, and was relatively flat in 2024 from 2023. The increase in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in equipment repairs and maintenance and higher equipment depreciation.
Data processing expense rose in 2025 from 2024, following an increase in 2024 from 2023. The increases in both 2025 and 2024 were due to a rise in software maintenance costs and higher computer processing charges related to a variety of technology projects.
Depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases declined in 2025 from 2024, following a similar decrease in 2024 from 2023. In 2025 and 2024, depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases correlated with the change in equipment rental income.
Professional fees remained flat in 2025 from 2024, compared to an increase in 2024 from 2023. The higher expense in 2024 can primarily be attributed to a $1.08 million reversal of accrued legal fees in the first quarter of 2023, as well as an increase in audit and examination fees and the utilization of consulting services for technology projects and compliance services during the year.

FDIC and other insurance expense decreased in 2025 from 2024, and increased in 2024 from 2023. The decrease in 2025 was mainly the result of lower insurance premiums due to a more cost effective policy renewal. The increase in 2024 was mainly the result of higher insurance premiums during 2024. FDIC insurance premiums remained relatively stable during 2025 and 2024.
Business development and marketing expenses increased in 2025 from 2024, following a decrease in 2024 from 2023. The increased expense in 2025 was mainly the result of a $1.00 million dollar charitable contribution, increased business development expenses, and marketing promotions. The decreased expense in 2024 was mainly the result of a charitable contribution of $1.00 million made during 2023 offset with higher marketing promotions during the year.
During 2024, we reclassified the provision for unfunded loan commitments out of Other Noninterest Expense and into the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We believe this reclassification more appropriately reflected the nature of this expense item and enhances comparability for peer comparison purposes.
Other expenses increased in 2025 as compared to 2024, and decreased in 2024 as compared to 2023. The higher expense in 2025 was primarily the result of fewer gains related to the sale of fixed assets and off-lease equipment, higher collection and repossession expenses, and increased intangible asset amortization offset by a reduction in fraud losses. The lower expense in 2024 was primarily the result of higher gains on the sale of fixed assets and leased equipment, lower printing and postage costs, reduced data communication line charges and a reduction in employment and relocation costs offset by a $0.85 million stolen check fraud loss.
Income Taxes — 1st Source recognized income tax expense in 2025 of $46.12 million, compared to $38.44 million in 2024, and $36.75 million in 2023. The effective tax rate in 2025 was 22.57% compared to 22.47% in 2024, and 22.73% in 2023.

At December 31, 2025, there were no concentrations within the loan portfolio of 10% or more of total loans and leases.
Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, at December 31, 2025, were $7.05 billion and were 77.82% of total assets, compared to $6.85 billion and 76.74% of total assets at December 31, 2024. Average loans and leases, net of unearned discount, increased $336.29 million or 5.10% and increased $394.47 million or 6.36% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Commercial and agricultural lending, excluding those loans secured by real estate, increased $24.62 million or 3.18% in 2025 over 2024. Commercial and agricultural lending outstandings were $797.59 million and $772.97 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Commercial loan growth continued to be somewhat constrained as our clients dealt with higher costs and tighter gross margins. Tariff impact is partially to blame as well as slowing consumer demand. Loan growth was particularly constrained in the small business sector. We saw this in the form of reduced line of credit (LOC) balances throughout the year. Further, the agricultural and recreational vehicle sectors are entering their fourth consecutive year of depressed commodity prices and demand, which caused lower LOC usage and reduced investments by these borrowers. Finally, our commercial and industrial loan outstandings continue to be impacted by the acquisition and subsequent pay-offs by private equity firms and larger competitors.
Renewable energy loans and leases increased $165.53 million or 33.97% in 2025 over 2024. Renewable energy loan and lease outstandings were $652.80 million and $487.27 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase during 2025 was due to continued positive momentum from the addition of new clients and repeat business from existing clients. Demand for renewable energy loans and leases remained accelerated during 2025 from the incentives associated with the Inflation Reduction Act and the shortened phase out period of these incentives with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Auto and light truck loans decreased $60.56 million or 6.39% in 2025 over 2024. At December 31, 2025, auto and light truck loans had outstandings of $887.88 million and $948.44 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to vehicle rental clients’ reaction to cyclical market adjustments resulting in the downsizing of total fleet and transition into lower capital cost units along with our selective credit approach.
Medium and heavy duty truck loans and leases decreased $19.87 million or 6.86% in 2025. Medium and heavy duty truck financing at December 31, 2025 and 2024 had outstandings of $269.75 million and $289.62 million, respectively. The decrease at December 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 can be mainly attributed to reduced equipment demand related to an ongoing trucking industry recession, selective credit approach, and maintenance of our adjusted yields.
Aircraft financing at year-end 2025 decreased $36.98 million or 3.29% from year-end 2024. Aircraft financing at December 31, 2025 and 2024 had outstandings of $1.09 billion and $1.12 billion, respectively. Domestic aircraft average outstandings increased modestly, while end-of-period balances declined year-over-year. The decline was driven by elevated client payoffs as aircraft owners capitalized on strong market pricing by divesting assets or aviation-related businesses during 2025. We continue to exercise a consistent disciplined approach to aircraft types and client credit profiles. Our foreign outstandings, all denominated in U.S. dollars, increased 6.23% during 2025 and were $319.93 million and $301.18 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Loan and lease outstandings to borrowers in Brazil and Mexico were $136.98 million and $163.70 million as of December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $129.12 million and $145.85 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively. Outstanding balances to other borrowers in other countries were insignificant.
Construction equipment financing increased $17.22 million or 1.43% in 2025 compared to 2024. Construction equipment financing at December 31, 2025 had outstandings of $1.22 billion, compared to outstandings of $1.20 billion at December 31, 2024. The growth in this category was primarily due to significant new client relationships and continued growth with existing clients primarily amongst road builders and site development clients.
Commercial loans secured by real estate increased $54.50 million or 4.48% in 2025 over 2024. Commercial loans secured by real estate outstanding at December 31, 2025 were $1.27 billion and $1.22 billion at December 31, 2024. Approximately 61% of loans were owner occupied at December 31, 2025. We continue to have solid loan demand within our markets as liquidity concerns, which have impacted many of our competitors’ willingness to lend as aggressively as they had been into commercial real estate, gave us more opportunities while underwriting standards and yields also improved. The majority of our non-owner occupied commercial real estate (CRE) projects are located within our primary market area. We had good CRE loan growth in 2025, fueled by continued funding of in-process projects nearing completion throughout the year. This new project funding was partially offset by an increasing number of CRE payoffs, via the sale of projects or refinancing in secondary markets. We continue to have very minimal exposure to non-owner occupied office property.
Residential real estate and home equity loans were $740.78 million at December 31, 2025 and $680.07 million at December 31, 2024. Residential real estate and home equity loans increased $60.71 million or 8.93% in 2025 from 2024. Residential mortgage and home equity outstandings grew in 2025 as clients began to turn back to home equity loans as variable rates began to decrease. Also, our fixed rate term second mortgages grew as clients looked to pull equity from increased home values instead of doing cash out refinances, which would impact their low mortgage rates that were locked in during COVID. In addition, the overall increase in home values, as well as home repairs and improvements, has resulted in more loans in our portfolio.
Consumer loans decreased $13.31 million or 9.97% in 2025 over 2024. Consumer loans outstanding at December 31, 2025, were $120.16 million and $133.47 million at December 31, 2024. During 2025, higher vehicle prices, reduced inventory levels, and consumer’s lack of liquidity contributed to the decrease in consumer loans.

During 2025, approximately 38% of the Bank’s residential mortgage originations were sold into the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale were $4.87 million at December 31, 2025 and were $2.57 million at December 31, 2024.
1st Source Bank sells residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae as well as FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans in Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, we have sold loans on a service released basis to various other financial institutions in the past. The agreements under which we sell these mortgage loans contain various representations and warranties regarding the acceptability of loans for purchase. On occasion, we may be asked to indemnify the loan purchaser for credit losses on loans that were later deemed ineligible for purchase or we may be asked to repurchase a loan. Both circumstances are collectively referred to as “repurchases.” Within the industry, repurchase demands have decreased during recent years. We believe the loans we have underwritten and sold to these entities have met or exceeded applicable transaction parameters.

Table of Contents
Our liability for repurchases, included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statements of Financial Condition, was $0.12 million and $0.18 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our expense for repurchase losses, included in Loan and Lease Collection and Repossession expense on the Statements of Income, was $0.07 million of recoveries in 2025 compared to $0.02 million of expense in 2024 and recoveries of $0.07 million in 2023. The mortgage repurchase liability represents our best estimate of the loss that we may incur. The estimate is based on specific loan repurchase requests and a historical loss ratio with respect to origination dollar volume. Because the level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies and other external conditions that may change over the life of the underlying loans, the level of liability for mortgage loan repurchase losses is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment.
CREDIT EXPERIENCE
Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses considers the historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To estimate expected loan and lease losses under the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology, we use a broad range of data over a lengthy time horizon, generally back to the fourth quarter of 2007, thus capturing most of the economic business cycle which includes the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery which supports full lifetime losses. CECL requires our loan portfolio to be segregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics.
Pooled loans and leases are collectively evaluated using either a cohort cumulative loss rate methodology or a transition matrix-based probability of default (PD)/loss given default (LGD) methodology. Our management evaluates the allowance quarterly, reviewing all loans and leases over a fixed-dollar amount ($250,000) where the internal credit quality grade is at or below a predetermined classification, considering actual and anticipated loss experience, current economic events in specific industries, and other pertinent factors including general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates and adjustments to historical loss rates to capture differences that may exist between current and historical conditions, including consideration of economic risk which is generally reflected in a forecast adjustment, specific industry risk and concentration risk, all of which may be susceptible to significant and unforeseen changes. We review the loan and lease portfolios to identify borrowers that might develop financial problems and to mitigate losses. Our allowance for loan and lease losses is provided for by direct charges to the provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Losses on loans and leases are charged against the allowance and likewise, recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the allowance. We utilize similar processes to estimate our liability for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments which is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and is provided for by direct charges to the provision for unfunded loan commitments located in Provision for Credit Losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on management’s evaluation of the allowance for credit losses.
We perform a thorough analysis of charge-offs, non-performing asset levels, special attention outstandings and delinquency to review portfolio trends, including specific industry risks and economic conditions, which may have an impact on the allowance and allowance ratios applied to various portfolios. We adjust the calculated historical-based ratio based on analysis of environmental factors, principally specific industry risk, collateral risk, and concentration risk, along with global economic and political issues. Our forecast adjustment includes key economic factors affecting our portfolios such as growth in gross domestic product, unemployment rates, housing market trends, commodity prices, and inflation. Forecasts are difficult to establish and the current environment presents ongoing challenges. The domestic economic outlook remains uncertain amid shifting trade/tariff policies, still-elevated inflation and interest rates, softening labor conditions, signs of consumer stress and weakening sentiment, and heightened geopolitical risks. GDP growth has largely exceeded forecasts in recent quarters, in large part due to front loading of inventory purchases in preparation for the implementation of tariffs. However, substantial headwinds remain in the forward outlook. Uncertainty is elevated given broadening global conflicts and significant political shifts domestically and internationally. U.S. tariff policy remains fluid, which has created volatility in the operating backdrop for our borrowers and markets. Collateral values are significant to underwriting our specialty finance portfolios and there is heightened potential for future policy changes to impact asset valuations. Management cannot predict the timing or magnitude of future policy changes but actively monitors developments and adjusts underwriting, including amortization and down payment requirements, as conditions evolve. Concentration risk is impacted primarily by geographic concentration in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan in our business banking and commercial real estate portfolios and by collateral concentration in our specialty finance portfolios.

We include a factor for global risk in our analysis. While difficult to predict with precision, global risks may adversely impact our borrowers, weakening their ability to repay their financial obligations. The global outlook calls for slowing growth, pressured by high sovereign debt levels and fiscal vulnerabilities, rising protectionism and trade tensions, and still-elevated interest rates and inflation. Global geopolitical uncertainty impacts the outlook and various ongoing foreign conflicts introduce downside risk. Trade tensions are rising which increases the potential for supply chain disruptions. Terrorism remains a persistent concern and risks of a catastrophic event are elevated. In Brazil and Mexico, where we have a presence with our aircraft lending, there are concerns with deteriorating economic growth prospects, persistent inflation and high interest rates, and long-standing structural issues including income inequality, poverty, and crime. Inflation remains a headline concern in Brazil where central bank rates are currently at a nearly two-decade high, and a heavy public debt burden pressures fiscal policy. Mexico is facing prospects of weakened economic growth, elevated inflation, and ongoing U.S. trade tensions.
The following discussion focuses on relevant economic conditions and various circumstances impacting the December 31, 2025 allowance for loan and lease losses of each of our loan and lease segments.
Commercial and agricultural – The allowance increased year-over-year due to modest loan growth, partially offset by a slight decline in special attention balances which carry higher reserves, and lower historical loss rates within the portfolio prior to the impact of the forecast adjustment. Multiple industries are represented in the commercial and agricultural portfolio and the outlook for the portfolio remains guarded. Small businesses remain challenged to absorb still-elevated interest rates, higher cost of capital, compete for labor, and control expenses. In our underlying industries, wholesalers have generally performed well, while manufacturers remain under pressure. The recreational vehicle industry, which is centered in our footprint, continues to struggle with low demand as it navigates a sharp pullback from record high shipment levels reached in 2022. The outlook for 2026 reflects ongoing weak demand and only modest improvement as compared to 2025. Pressures in the agricultural sector remain evident, although grain did find some footing in 2025 after experiencing sharp declines the previous year. Charge-off rates in the commercial and agricultural portfolio were modest in 2025 and credit quality remains acceptable, but we continue to see elevated special attention activity within the portfolio, particularly in small dollar accounts.
Renewable energy – Our allowance increased primarily due to loan growth, along with a slight increase in qualitative adjustments to address changes in the regulatory environment applicable to the portfolio. Our renewable energy (predominately solar) portfolio continues to perform well. Growth opportunities abound and overall credit quality remains solid. Risks include construction and developer related risks and delays, site issues, climate and weather risks, regulatory problems and permitting issues, as well as utility interconnection delays. Maturity risk and refinancing costs are elevated given the elevated interest rate environment. To date, we have not incurred any losses in this portfolio and credit performance continues to be favorable.
Auto and light truck – The primary auto rental segment of the auto and light truck portfolio remains under stress as the industry struggles with overcapacity, higher vehicle prices, elevated interest costs, and weak rental rates. Our allowance increased due to higher special attention balances, which are reserved at higher rates, an increase in historical loss rates, and an increase in qualitative adjustments to address continued elevated risk within the auto rental segment. The decline in loan balances within the portfolio is largely due to borrowers’ de-fleeting activity in the auto rental segment to address overcapacity. Credit quality weakened for a second consecutive year in the auto rental segment, as average delinquency and non-performing rates increased year-over-year. Wholesale used vehicle prices have held up better than in past industry downturns and stable asset valuations, along with tighter underwriting standards, have limited charge-off exposures. Overall, wholesale vehicle prices ended the year relatively stable and remain above the longer-term valuation trend line. Somewhat muted original equipment manufacturers’ (“OEM”) production volumes have also likely provided pricing support to used vehicle markets. The auto leasing segment performed well in 2025 and the portfolio continues to exhibit stable credit quality and low delinquency. Leasing customers lease to auto rental companies as well as other commercial entities. Our auto leasing portfolio is concentrated in larger client exposures. We remain diligent in our underwriting, setting residual values appropriately and monitoring fleet mix given the potential for volatility in vehicle prices.
Medium and heavy duty truck – The portfolio’s allowance decreased due to lower loan balances. The industry remains challenged by overcapacity, but freight rates appear to be stabilizing. This portfolio has historically been a barometer for overall economic weakness and the industry has experienced several high-profile carrier bankruptcies and generally difficult conditions over the last several years. In previous downturns, small companies and independent owner-operators were hit the hardest and asset valuations were pressured. Asset valuations have weakened in the segment. We did not incur any credit losses in the portfolio during the period.

Aircraft – The portfolio’s allowance decreased as we experienced a modest decline in loan balances year-over-year in our domestic aircraft segment, while growth in our foreign aircraft segment was essentially flat. Credit quality metrics remain stable. Aircraft collateral values, particularly those in our niche, strengthened considerably early in this economic cycle but have leveled off with more available inventory. The portfolio has maintained stable credit quality in recent years, but was among the sectors affected most by the sluggish economy following the Great Recession. We experienced minimal loss in the portfolio this year, but our portfolio loss history has experienced past volatility, characterized by lengthy periods of minimal losses or modest recoveries followed by short intervals of high losses. In this portfolio, we have $320 million of foreign exposure, primarily domiciled in Mexico and Brazil. Brazil’s economy remains burdened by high sovereign debt levels and high interest rates. Mexico’s economic growth is expected to be somewhat weak as it manages through ongoing U.S. trade tensions. Heavy indebtedness and financial problems with state-owned oil firm Pemex are an ongoing concern for Mexico’s broader growth prospects.
Construction equipment – Our construction equipment portfolio reported more muted loan growth in 2025, compared to relatively high growth rates in previous years since the end of the pandemic. The allowance decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in qualitative factors for elevated problem loan activity in the segment due to improving credit quality trends. Infrastructure spending continues to have a positive impact on many contractors within the segment. Credit quality generally improved as delinquency rates were muted, special attention balances, which are reserved at higher rates, ended the year lower and non-performing balances also declined. The portfolio has experienced some elevated loss activity in recent years which has been successfully mitigated, achieving fairly high recovery rates with time. There is ongoing concern for construction contractors as the portfolio is inherently vulnerable to energy price volatility, high interest rates, and changes in the regulatory environment. Construction projects can have unknown costs or delays and large project risk is ever-present. Volatile energy, labor, and material prices create difficulties for cost structures in an industry that often operates under longer-term contracts lacking adequate cost escalators. Shifting trade policies add uncertainty, potentially increasing raw material and equipment costs. Historically, we have experienced less volatility in this portfolio than the broader industry as losses have been mitigated by appropriate underwriting and a global market for used construction equipment.
Commercial real estate – Similar to the commercial portfolio, our commercial real estate loans are concentrated in our local market with local customers although we do fund select projects outside our market with multi-state developers that are headquartered in our footprint. The allowance increase was due to loan growth in both owner and non-owner-occupied segments. We continue to monitor construction risk and maturity repricing risk in the elevated interest rate environment. Approximately 61% of the Bank’s exposure in this portfolio is from owner-occupied facilities where we are the primary relationship bank for our clients. Special attention activity in both the owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied segments remains modest with generally stable credit quality. We have seen limited evidence of slow lease-up and rental rate pressures in select markets in the multi-family segment. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments as of year-end and made slight adjustments to a factor addressing interest rate maturity risk and a slight increase to our construction risk factor as the loan volume of projects under construction remains higher than prior periods.
Residential real estate and home equity – Our residential real estate and home equity portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. The allowance increased due to loan growth. Generally, residential mortgage loans are originated using standards that result in salable mortgages. Home equity loans are also advanced in compliance with regulatory guidelines and the Bank’s credit policy. Losses in these portfolios have been immaterial since 2013. Qualitative factors in the portfolio are primarily for reasonable and supportable forecasts, although we maintain an adjustment to account for an elevated amount of non-salable adjustable-rate mortgages in the loan mix with repricing risk at maturity.
Consumer – Our consumer loan portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. This portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by autos with advances in compliance with the Bank’s underwriting standards. The allowance was minimally changed year-over-year as lower loan balances were offset by higher historical loss rates in the portfolio. Delinquency rates remain manageable but are trending upward. Loss rates were modest from 2013 through the end of the pandemic, but we have experienced higher write-downs in each of the last three years. We review our qualitative adjustments each quarter, which primarily consist of reasonable and supportable forecasts and also include an adjustment to account for increasing delinquency and nonperforming activity within the portfolio.
Allowance for loan and lease losses – The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2025, totaled $161.85 million and was 2.30% of loans and leases, compared to $155.54 million or 2.27% of loans and leases at December 31, 2024 and $147.55 million or 2.26% of loans and leases at December 31, 2023. It is our opinion that the allowance for loan and lease losses was appropriate to absorb current expected credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2025.
Charge-offs for loan and lease losses were $8.30 million for 2025, compared to $13.73 million for 2024 and $6.65 million for 2023. Primarily reflective of loan and lease growth and accretive forecast adjustments, we added $10.51 million to the provision for credit losses on loans and leases for 2025, compared to a provision of $13.66 million for 2024 and a provision of $5.87 million for 2023.

Nonperforming Assets — Nonperforming assets include loans past due over 90 days, nonaccrual loans and leases, other real estate, repossessions and other nonperforming assets we own. Our policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans and leases where principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for 90 days or more, or when an individual analysis of a borrower’s credit worthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonperforming status, except for residential real estate and home equity loans, and consumer loans that are both well secured and in the process of collection.
Nonperforming assets amounted to $77.38 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $31.33 million at December 31, 2024, and $24.24 million at December 31, 2023. During 2025, interest income on nonaccrual loans and leases would have increased by approximately $5.83 million compared to $2.06 million in 2024 if these loans and leases had earned interest at their full contractual rate.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2025 increased from December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in nonaccrual loans and leases in the auto rental segment of our auto and light truck portfolio, partially offset by lower nonaccrual loans and leases in our construction portfolio. Repossessions consisted mainly of units in the construction equipment and consumer portfolios. There is no other real estate owned as of year end.

Potential Problem Loans — Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing but for which management has concerns about the ability of a borrower to continue to comply with repayment terms because of potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans closely and reviews their performance on a regular basis. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $11.10 million and $20.60 million, respectively, in loans of this type which are not included in either of the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan categories. At December 31, 2025, potential problem loans consisted of five relationships; two relationships in the commercial and agricultural portfolio, two relationships in the auto and light truck portfolio, and one relationship in the commercial real estate portfolio.

During January 2024, we borrowed $100 million from the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program based on the economics of the borrowing relative to our other funding sources. During January 2025, we repaid the borrowing in full.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Core Deposits — Our major source of investable funds is provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit and certain certificates of deposit over $250,000 based on established FDIC insured deposits. In 2025, average core deposits equaled 72.62% of average total assets, compared to 71.39% in 2024 and 73.77% in 2023. The effective rate of core deposits in 2025 was 1.80%, compared to 1.97% in 2024 and 1.45% in 2023.
Average noninterest bearing core deposits decreased 0.44% in 2025 compared to a decrease of 8.22% in 2024. These represented 24.56% of total core deposits in 2025, compared to 25.79% in 2024, and 28.24% in 2023.
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit over $250,000, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, over-night borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings which includes Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2025, our reliance on purchased funds decreased to 10.54% of average total assets from 12.69% in 2024.
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated 13.39% of average total assets in 2025, compared to 12.10% in 2024. Shareholders’ equity was 14.08% of total assets at year-end 2025, compared to 12.44% at year-end 2024. We include unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gains (losses), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, were $34.78 million and $87.23 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The unrealized losses occurred as a result of changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase. Additionally, we do not intend to sell these available-for-sale investment securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities.
Other Liquidity — Under Indiana law governing the collateralization of public fund deposits, the Indiana Board of Depositories determines which financial institutions are required to pledge collateral based on the strength of their financial ratings. We have been informed that no collateral is required for our public fund deposits. However, the Board of Depositories could alter this requirement in the future and adversely impact our liquidity. Our potential liquidity exposure if we must pledge collateral is approximately $1.44 billion.

Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank’s liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, overnight investments, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
The Bank’s liquidity strategy is guided by internal policies and the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. Internal guidelines consist of:
(i)Available Liquidity (sum of short term borrowing capacity) greater than $500 million;
(ii)Liquidity Ratio (total of net cash, short term investments and unpledged marketable assets divided by the sum of net deposits and short term liabilities) greater than 15%;
(iii)Dependency Ratio (net potentially volatile liabilities minus short-term investments divided by total earning assets minus short-term investments) less than 15%; and
(iv)Loans to Deposits Ratio less than 100%
At December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the foregoing internal policies and regulatory guidelines.
The Bank also maintains a contingency funding plan that assesses the liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and credit rating downgrades. The plan includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The contingency plan provides for ongoing monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
We maintain prudent strategies to support a strong liquidity position. The following table represents our sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk Management — ALCO monitors and manages the relationship of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset yields, interest expense, and interest margins to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we face ongoing interest rate risks and uncertainties. We may utilize interest rate swaps to partially manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.
A hypothetical change in net interest income was modeled by calculating an immediate 200 basis point (2.00%) and 100 basis point (1.00%) increase and a 100 basis point (1.00%) decrease in interest rates across all maturities. The following table shows the aggregate hypothetical impact to pre-tax net interest income.
| Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Basis Point Interest Rate Change | 12 Months | 24 Months | 12 Months | 24 Months | ||||
| Up 200 | 1.63% | 6.59% | (2.19)% | 2.79% | ||||
| Up 100 | 0.79% | 3.31% | (1.11)% | 1.35% | ||||
| Down 100 | (1.83)% | (4.88)% | 0.89% | (2.10)% |
The earnings simulation model excludes the earnings dynamics related to how fee income and noninterest expense may be affected by changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. The use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of the balance sheet should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy or the accuracy of the related assumptions.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the impact of these hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative holdings was not significant, and, as such, separate disclosure is not presented. We manage the interest rate risk related to mortgage loan commitments by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans with outside parties. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations — In the ordinary course of operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include customer deposits, the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as operating leases for the rent of premises and equipment. Additionally, we routinely enter into contracts for services that may require payment to be provided in the future and may contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract. Further discussion of commitments and contractual obligations is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes 10, 11, 12 and 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also enter into derivative contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from, or pay cash to, counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the contracts changes daily as market interest rates change. Further discussion of derivative contracts is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Assets under management and assets under custody are held in fiduciary or custodial capacity for our clients. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these assets are not included on our balance sheet.
We are also party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates or judgments reflect management’s view of the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our overall financial performance. Because these estimates or judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. As such, changes in these estimates, judgments, and/or assumptions may have a significant impact on our financial statements. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 1), should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how our financial performance is recorded and reported.
We have identified the following two policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex estimates or judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and fair value measurements. Management believes it has used the best information available to make the estimations or judgments necessary to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from estimates or judgments and future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact net income. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Following is a discussion of the areas we view as our most critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our existing loan and lease portfolio and the establishment of an allowance that is sufficient to absorb those losses. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgement by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In determining an appropriate allowance, management makes numerous judgments, assumptions, and estimates which are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. These estimates are derived based on continuous review of the loan and lease portfolio, assessments of client performance, movement through delinquency stages, probability of default, losses given default, collateral values, and disposition, as well as expected cash flows, economic forecasts, and qualitative factors, such as changes in current economic conditions.
As stated in Note 1, we segment our loan and lease portfolios based on similar risk characteristics for collective evaluation using a non-discounted cash flow approach to estimate expected losses. We use a cohort cumulative loss methodology for select loan and lease segments. The cohort methodology has a steady state assumption. For other segments, we use a PD/LGD (probability of default/loss given default) model which aligns well with our internal risk rating system. When we observe limitations in the data or models, we use model overlays to make adjustments to model outputs to capture a particular risk or compensate for a known limitation, or in the case of the cohort model, changes in the steady state assumptions. Actual losses may differ from estimated amounts due to model inefficiencies or management’s inability to adequately determine appropriate model adjustment factors.
Additionally, we are required to use forecasts about future economic conditions to determine the expected credit losses over the remaining life of the asset. Forecast adjustments are fundamentally difficult to establish and the current environment presents challenges with widespread geopolitical uncertainty, continued elevated inflation, and high interest rates. We endeavor to apply a forecast adjustment that is directionally consistent, reasonable, supportable, and reflective of current expectations and conditions. We use a two-year reasonable and supportable period across all loan and lease segments to forecast economic conditions. We believe the two-year time horizon aligns with available industry guidance and various forecasting sources. Following this two-year forecasting period, we use a two-year reversion period to revert forecast rates to historical loss rates.
In assessing the factors used to derive an appropriate allowance, management benefits from a lengthy organizational history and experience with credit decisions and related outcomes. We have been diligent in our efforts to review our portfolios, loan segmentations, methodologies and models and believe we have made appropriate and prudent decisions. Nonetheless, if management’s underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the allowance for credit losses would have to be adjusted. Our accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses is disclosed in Note 1 under the heading “Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Fair Value Measurements — We use fair value measurements to record certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities, trading account securities, mortgage loans held for sale, and interest rate swap agreements are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of, or specific reserves against, individual assets. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-driven or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market data. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market data, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and data are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in the market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we use valuation techniques that require more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement. Fair value is discussed further in Note 1 under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” and in Note 21, “Fair Value Measurements.”
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income available to common shareholders in 2024 was $132.62 million, up from $124.93 million in 2023 and up from $120.51 million in 2022. Diluted net income per common share was $5.36 in 2024, $5.03 in 2023, and $4.84 in 2022. Return on average total assets was 1.52% in 2024 compared to 1.48% in 2023, and 1.49% in 2022. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 12.54% in 2024 versus 13.48% in 2023, and 13.81% in 2022.
Net income in 2024, as compared to 2023, was positively impacted by a $22.17 million or 7.96% increase in net interest income, which was offset by a $6.60 million increase in provision for credit losses, a $4.32 million or 4.76% decrease in noninterest income and a $1.88 million or 0.93% increase in noninterest expense. Net income in 2023, as compared to 2022, was positively impacted by a $15.18 million or 5.76% increase in net interest income and a $7.38 million decrease in the provision for credit losses which was offset by a $17.03 million or 9.22% increase in noninterest expense.
Dividends paid on common stock in 2024 amounted to $1.40 per share, compared to $1.30 per share in 2023, and $1.26 per share in 2022. The level of earnings reinvested and dividend payouts are determined by the Board of Directors based on various considerations, including liquidity needs, capital requirements, and management’s assessment of future growth opportunities and the level of capital necessary to support them.
Net Interest Income — Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities while deposits and borrowings represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is done on a tax-equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable.
Net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) is significantly affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin on a fully taxable- equivalent basis was 3.64% in 2024, compared to 3.51% in 2023 and 3.45% in 2022. Net interest income was $300.82 million for 2024, compared to $278.65 million for 2023 and $263.47 million for 2022. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $301.40 million for 2024, up $22.02 million from the $279.39 million reported in 2023. Tax-equivalent net interest income for 2023 was up $15.29 million from the $264.10 million reported for 2022.
During 2024, average earning assets increased $327.89 million or 4.12% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $315.75 million or 5.72% over the comparable period in 2023. The yield on average earning assets increased 60 basis points to 5.85% for 2024 from 5.25% for 2023 primarily due to higher rates and average balances on loans and leases, higher rates on taxable investment securities and higher average balances on other investments, which include federal funds sold, time deposits with other banks, Federal Reserve Bank excess balances, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock and commercial paper. Total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 64 basis points to 3.14% during 2024 from 2.50% in 2023 as a result of the higher interest rate environment and its impact on deposit competition. The result to the fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin was an increase of 13 basis points.

The largest contributor to the increase in the yield on average earning assets in 2024 was the 59 basis point improvement in the loan and lease portfolio yield primarily from rising interest rates and higher average balances. Average loans and leases increased $394.47 million or 6.36% in 2024 from 2023 while the yield increased to 6.84%. Strong growth primarily within our Construction Equipment, Auto and Light Truck and Renewable Energy portfolios, and selective growth in our Commercial Real Estate portfolio drove total average loans and leases higher during the year. Net interest recoveries positively contributed five basis points to the yield on average loans and leases during 2024 and four basis points to the average loans and leases yield during 2023.
During 2024, the tax-equivalent yield on investment securities available-for-sale increased 15 basis points to 1.72% while the average balance decreased $106.29 million or 6.34% with the largest decreases in U.S. treasury and federal agency securities and state and municipal securities. Average mortgages held for sale increased $0.87 million or 36.53% during 2024 while the yield increased seven basis points. Average other investments increased $38.83 million or 52.67% during 2024 while the yield increased 29 basis points. The average balance increase in other investments was primarily a result of higher balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $305.86 million or 5.88% during 2024 while the effective rate paid on those deposits increased 66 basis points. The increased average balance was primarily due to increases in time deposits, money market accounts, and brokered deposits. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of higher rates and a shift in the deposit mix. The deposit mix change which began during 2022 carried over into 2023 and 2024 with clients moving their funds from non-maturity accounts to higher yielding certificates of deposit and money market accounts due to the elevated interest rate environment. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $144.15 million or 8.22% during 2024 due primarily to persistent rate competition for deposits and greater utilization of excess funds by our business customers.
Average short-term borrowings increased $15.24 million or 7.13% during 2024 while the effective rate paid increased 63 basis points due to higher Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program borrowings offset with decreased FHLB borrowings and lower securities sold under agreements to repurchase balances. Average long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable securities balances decreased $5.35 million or 11.55% during 2024 while the effective rate decreased 68 basis points primarily due to a lower imputed interest on mandatorily redeemable securities from a reduced improvement in book value per share during 2024 compared to 2023. Mandatorily redeemable shares are issued under the terms of one of our executive incentive compensation plans and are settled based on book value per share with changes from the previous reporting date recorded as interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components) and net interest margin (including its individual components). Management believes that these measures provide users of the Company’s financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The following table shows the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for the most recent three years ended December 31.

Trust and wealth advisory fees (which include investment management fees, estate administration fees, mutual fund fees, annuity fees, and fiduciary fees) increased in 2024 from 2023 compared to an increase in 2023 over 2022. Trust and wealth advisory fees are largely based on the number and size of client relationships and the market value of assets under management. The market value of trust assets under management at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $5.97 billion and $5.46 billion, respectively. The positive performance of the stock and bond markets primarily during the first nine months of 2024 resulted in an increase in the market value of trust assets under management compared to 2023. At December 31, 2024, these trust assets were comprised of $4.03 billion of personal and agency trusts and estate administration assets, $1.18 billion of employee benefit plan assets, $0.59 million of individual retirement accounts, and $0.17 million of custody assets.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased in 2024 from 2023 compared to an increase in 2023 from 2022. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2024 was primarily due to a higher volume of business deposit account fees. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2023 was primarily due to increased consumer and business overdraft transactions.
Debit card income declined during 2024 following a slight decrease during 2023. The decline in 2024 to 2023 was related to shifts in both client transaction behavior and the networks over which those merchants are routing transactions. During 2023, regulatory changes to web commerce transactions implemented by the Federal Reserve had a negative impact.
Mortgage banking income increased in 2024 over 2023, compared to a decrease in 2023 from 2022. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, we determined that no permanent write-down was necessary for previously recorded impairment on MSRs. During 2024 mortgage banking income increased due to higher production of loans originated for the secondary market resulting in increased income on loans sold into the secondary market. During 2023, mortgage banking income decreased primarily due to reduced mortgage origination volumes resulting in lower income on loans sold in the secondary market.
Insurance commissions decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 and increased in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to fewer contingent commissions received. The rise in 2023 was primarily due to a larger book of business and more contingent commissions received.
Equipment rental income generated from operating leases decreased during 2024 from 2023 compared to a similar reduction during 2023 from 2022. The average equipment rental portfolio decreased in 2024 over 2023 and decreased in 2023 over 2022 as a result of reduced leasing volume primarily in the medium and heavy duty truck, construction equipment and the auto and light truck portfolios due to changing customer preferences and competitive pricing pressures for new business. In 2024 and 2023, the decline in rental income was offset by a similar decline in depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases.
Losses on investment securities available-for-sale during 2024 were exclusively the result of repositioning the portfolio during the fourth quarter. In the repositioning, approximately $63 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 0.71% were sold and used to purchase approximately $63 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 4.64%. Losses during 2023 were primarily the result of repositioning the investment securities portfolio. In the 2023 repositioning, approximately $40 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 1.10% were sold and used to purchase approximately $40 million of securities with a weighted average yield of 4.80%. The remaining 2023 losses were the result of sales to support liquidity and fund loan growth during the first quarter. Losses during 2022 were from the sale of Federal agency securities with the goal of managing portfolio risk and liquidity.

Other income decreased in 2024 from 2023 compared to an increase in 2023 from 2022. The decrease in 2024 was mainly a result of lower partnership investment gains on sale of renewable energy tax equity investments, a writedown of $0.86 million on a small business capital investment and a reduction in customer interest rate swap fees of $0.48 million, offset by increased brokerage commissions and fees of $0.84 million and rental income of $0.23 million related to a repossessed asset. The increase in 2023 was mainly a result of partnership investment gains on sale of renewable energy tax equity investments of $3.43 million, increased customer interest rate swap fees of $1.23 million and higher bank owned life insurance policy claims.

Total salaries and employee benefits increased in 2024 from 2023, following an increase in 2023 from 2022.
Employee salaries grew $7.45 million or 7.97% in 2024 from 2023 compared to an increase of $7.17 million or 8.31% in 2023 from 2022. The increase in 2024 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases, the impact of wage inflation, and an increase in the number of employees from the filling of prior open positions and lower employee turnover as well as an increase in incentive compensation. The increase in 2023 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases, the impact of wage inflation, and an increase in the number of employees from the filling of prior open positions and lower employee turnover.
Employee benefits decreased $1.15 million or 5.20% in 2024 from 2023, compared to a $3.33 million or 17.73% increase in 2023 from 2022. During 2024, group insurance costs were lower due to fewer claims experienced and the utilization of accumulated plan forfeitures of $0.65 million to offset current year employer contribution expense. During 2023, group insurance costs were higher due to a rise in claims experienced and increased company contributions to employee retirement accounts compared to levels in 2022.
Occupancy expense rose in 2024 from 2023, compared to an increase in 2023 from 2022. The expense increase in 2024 was primarily the result of increased premises expenses and higher rents. The elevated expense in 2023 was primarily the result of higher premises repairs.
Furniture and equipment expense, including depreciation, was relatively flat in 2024 from 2023 compared to an increase in 2023 from 2022. The higher expense in 2023 was primarily due to increased computer-related hardware replacement costs.
Data processing expense rose in 2024 from 2023, following an increase in 2023 from 2022. The increases in 2024 and 2023 were both due to a rise in software maintenance costs and higher computer processing charges related to a variety of technology projects.
Depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases declined in 2024 from 2023, following a similar decrease in 2023 from 2022. In 2024 and 2023, depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases correlated with the change in equipment rental income.
Professional fees increased in 2024 from 2023, compared to a decrease in 2023 from 2022. The higher expense in 2024 can primarily be attributed to a $1.08 million reversal of accrued legal fees in the first quarter of 2023, as well as an increase in audit and examination fees and the utilization of consulting services for technology projects and compliance services during the year. The lower expense in 2023 can primarily be attributed to a decline in the utilization of consulting services for technology projects and compliance services as well as the aforementioned reversal of accrued legal fees during the first quarter of 2023.

FDIC and other insurance expense grew in 2024 from 2023 and increased in 2023 from 2022. The increase in 2024 was mainly the result of higher general insurance premiums during 2024 and higher blanket bond insurance premiums. The increase in 2023 was mainly the result of higher assessments for FDIC premiums from a two basis point increase in assessment rates during the first quarter of 2023.
Business development and marketing expenses decreased in 2024 from 2023 following an increase in 2023 from 2022. The decreased expense in 2024 was mainly the result of a charitable contribution of $1.00 million made during 2023 offset with higher marketing promotions during the year. The increased expense in 2023 was mainly the result of a charitable contribution of $1.00 million and higher marketing promotions.
During 2024, we reclassified the provision for unfunded loan commitments out of Other Noninterest Expense and into the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We believe this reclassification more appropriately reflects the nature of this expense item and will enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. We have not reclassified the 2023 and 2022 presentation. The increase in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily the result of an increase in non-cancelable outstanding loan commitments and a lengthening of the average contractual draw period.
Other expenses decreased in 2024 as compared to 2023 and increased in 2023 as compared to 2022. The lower expense in 2024 was primarily the result of higher gains on the sale of fixed assets and leased equipment, lower printing and postage costs, reduced data communication line charges and a reduction in employment and relocation costs offset by a $0.85 million stolen check fraud loss. The higher expense in 2023 was primarily the result of higher postage and shipping costs and a rise in data communication line charges as bandwidth was improved.
Income Taxes — 1st Source recognized income tax expense in 2024 of $38.44 million, compared to $36.75 million in 2023, and $36.26 million in 2022. The effective tax rate in 2024 was 22.47% compared to 22.73% in 2023, and 23.12% in 2022.

At December 31, 2024, there were no concentrations within the loan portfolio of 10% or more of total loans and leases.
Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, at December 31, 2024, were $6.85 billion and were 76.74% of total assets, compared to $6.52 billion and 74.69% of total assets at December 31, 2023. Average loans and leases, net of unearned discount, increased $394.47 million or 6.36% and increased $637.16 million or 11.45% in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Commercial and agricultural lending, excluding those loans secured by real estate, increased $6.75 million or 0.88% in 2024 over 2023. Commercial and agricultural lending outstandings were $772.97 million and $766.22 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Consistent with what we saw in 2023, loan growth continued to be difficult as higher interest rates caused borrowers to manage their cash closely. We saw this in the form of reduced line of credit (LOC) balances throughout the year although we did experience an increase from a small number of specialty finance borrowers at year end. Further, the agriculture sector is in its second consecutive year of depressed commodity prices which caused lower LOC usage as well as reduced investment in equipment from these borrowers. Finally, our commercial and industrial loan outstandings were impacted by the acquisition and subsequent pay-off of three of our larger credit exposures.

Renewable energy loans and leases increased $87.56 million or 21.91% in 2024 over 2023. Renewable energy loan and lease outstandings were $487.27 million and $399.71 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase during 2024 was due to continued positive momentum from the addition of new clients and repeat business from existing clients. Demand for renewable energy loans and leases remained accelerated during 2024 from the incentives associated with the Inflation Reduction Act.
Auto and light truck loans decreased $18.48 million or 1.91% in 2024 over 2023. At December 31, 2024, auto and light truck loans had outstandings of $948.44 million and $966.91 million at December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to vehicle rental and commercial lessor clients’ reaction to elevated interest rates by cycling into lower cost units with increased vehicle availability, and shorter fleet holds which reflect a return to more seasonal trends.
Medium and heavy duty truck loans and leases decreased $22.32 million or 7.16% in 2024. Medium and heavy duty truck financing at December 31, 2024 and 2023 had outstandings of $289.62 million and $311.95 million, respectively. The decrease at December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2023 can be mainly attributed to a slow trucking industry recovery coupled with a selective credit approach to maintain risk adjusted yields, with minimal changes in competitive environment, for existing customers.
Aircraft financing at year-end 2024 increased $45.63 million or 4.23% from year-end 2023. Aircraft financing at December 31, 2024 and 2023 had outstandings of $1.12 billion and $1.08 billion, respectively. Domestic outstandings were driven by the addition of new clients and select expansions of existing aviation relationships against a background of normalizing demand post COVID-era. We continue to exercise a consistent disciplined approach to aircraft types and client credit profiles. Our foreign outstandings, all denominated in U.S. dollars, remained stable during 2024 and were $301.18 million and $302.41 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Loan and lease outstandings to borrowers in Brazil and Mexico were $129.12 million and $145.85 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $119.38 million and $147.61 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively. Outstanding balances to other borrowers in other countries were insignificant.
Construction equipment financing increased $119.16 million or 10.98% in 2024 compared to 2023. Construction equipment financing at December 31, 2024 had outstandings of $1.20 billion, compared to outstandings of $1.08 billion at December 31, 2023. The growth in this category was primarily due to significant new client relationships and continued growth with existing clients primarily amongst crane rental, aggregate producers and haulers, and site development clients.
Commercial loans secured by real estate increased $85.40 million or 7.56% in 2024 over 2023. Commercial loans secured by real estate outstanding at December 31, 2024 were $1.22 billion and $1.13 billion at December 31, 2023. Approximately 62% of loans were owner occupied at December 31, 2024. The majority of our non-owner occupied commercial real estate projects are located within our primary market area. Funding increases in 2024 was the result of selective growth within our markets as liquidity concerns which impacted many of our competitors and their willingness to lend into commercial real estate gave us an opportunity as underwriting and yields improved. As a result, there was a number of construction projects that were approved in 2023 and 2024 that will provide steady growth into 2025. Through 2024, our non-owner occupied portfolio has performed well with minimal credit issues noted. We have financed a minimal amount of commercial real estate secured by non-owner occupied office property where third-party tenants are the primary source of repayment and all are performing as agreed.
Residential real estate and home equity loans were $680.07 million at December 31, 2024 and $637.97 million at December 31, 2023. Residential real estate and home equity loans increased $42.10 million or 6.60% in 2024 from 2023. Residential mortgage and home equity outstandings grew in 2024 as clients began to turn back to home equity loans as variable rates began to decrease. In addition, increased cost of home repairs and improvements resulted in larger loan amounts.
Consumer loans decreased $9.49 million or 6.64% in 2024 over 2023. Consumer loans outstanding at December 31, 2024, were $133.47 million and $142.96 million at December 31, 2023. During 2024, higher vehicle prices, increased interest rates, reduced inventory levels and consumer’s lack of liquidity contributed to the decrease in consumer loans.

During 2024, approximately 37% of the Bank’s residential mortgage originations were sold into the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale were $2.57 million at December 31, 2024 and were $1.44 million at December 31, 2023.
1st Source Bank sells residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae as well as FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans in Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, we have sold loans on a service released basis to various other financial institutions in the past. The agreements under which we sell these mortgage loans contain various representations and warranties regarding the acceptability of loans for purchase. On occasion, we may be asked to indemnify the loan purchaser for credit losses on loans that were later deemed ineligible for purchase or we may be asked to repurchase a loan. Both circumstances are collectively referred to as “repurchases.” Within the industry, repurchase demands have decreased during recent years. We believe the loans we have underwritten and sold to these entities have met or exceeded applicable transaction parameters.
28
Table of Contents
Our liability for repurchases, included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statements of Financial Condition, was $0.18 million and $0.15 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our expense for repurchase losses, included in Loan and Lease Collection and Repossession expense on the Statements of Income, was $0.02 million of expense in 2024 compared to recoveries of $0.07 million in 2023 and $0.05 million in 2022. The mortgage repurchase liability represents our best estimate of the loss that we may incur. The estimate is based on specific loan repurchase requests and a historical loss ratio with respect to origination dollar volume. Because the level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies and other external conditions that may change over the life of the underlying loans, the level of liability for mortgage loan repurchase losses is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment.
CREDIT EXPERIENCE
Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses considers the historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To estimate expected loan and lease losses under the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology, we use a broad range of data over a lengthy time horizon, generally back to the fourth quarter of 2007, thus capturing most of the economic business cycle which includes the Great Recession and the subsequent long and slow recovery which supports full lifetime losses. CECL requires our loan portfolio to be segregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics.
Pooled loans and leases are collectively evaluated using either a cohort cumulative loss rate methodology or a transition matrix-based probability of default (PD)/loss given default (LGD) methodology. Our management evaluates the allowance quarterly, reviewing all loans and leases over a fixed-dollar amount ($250,000) where the internal credit quality grade is at or below a predetermined classification, considering actual and anticipated loss experience, current economic events in specific industries, and other pertinent factors including general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates and adjustments to historical loss rates to capture differences that may exist between current and historical conditions, including consideration of economic risk which is generally reflected in a forecast adjustment, specific industry risk and concentration risk, all of which may be susceptible to significant and unforeseen changes. We review the loan and lease portfolios to identify borrowers that might develop financial problems and to mitigate losses. Our allowance for loan and lease losses is provided for by direct charges to the provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Losses on loans and leases are charged against the allowance and likewise, recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the allowance. We utilize similar processes to estimate our liability for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments which is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and is provided for by direct charges to the provision for unfunded loan commitments located in Provision for Credit Losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on management’s evaluation of the allowance for credit losses.
We perform a thorough analysis of charge-offs, non-performing asset levels, special attention outstandings and delinquency to review portfolio trends, including specific industry risks and economic conditions, which may have an impact on the allowance and allowance ratios applied to various portfolios. We adjust the calculated historical-based ratio based on analysis of environmental factors, principally specific industry risk, collateral risk, and concentration risk, along with global economic and political issues. Our forecast adjustment includes key economic factors affecting our portfolios such as growth in gross domestic product, unemployment rates, housing market trends, commodity prices, and inflation. Forecasts are difficult to establish and the current environment presents challenges with high interest rates and continued elevated inflation, generally tighter lending conditions, growing signs of consumer stress, and heightened uncertainty from ongoing conflicts around the world. There is considerable uncertainty surrounding economic growth prospects as we enter the new year, with varied calls ranging from soft landing to recession for the domestic economy. GDP growth exceeded previous forecasts in 2024 but substantial headwinds remain in the forward outlook. Uncertainty is high as global conflicts broadened, and significant changes in both the domestic and global political environments add uncertainty. Collateral values are significant to underwriting our specialty finance portfolios and volatility or declining values pose a threat. We actively review and adjust our amortization and down payment requirements as necessary in response to our outlook for future equipment values. Concentration risk is impacted primarily by geographic concentration in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan in our business banking and commercial real estate portfolios and by collateral concentration in our specialty finance portfolios.
We include a factor for global risk in our analysis. While difficult to predict with precision, global risks may adversely impact our borrowers impairing their ability to repay their financial obligations. The global outlook calls for slow growth as high sovereign debt levels and continued high interest rates in developing countries pressure growth prospects. Global geopolitical uncertainty impacts the outlook and various ongoing foreign conflicts bring downside risk. Trade tensions are rising which increases the potential for supply chain disruptions. Terrorism remains a persistent concern and risks of a catastrophic event are elevated. In Brazil and Mexico where we have a presence with our aircraft lending, we remain concerned with persistent inflation, high interest rates and their resultant economic impact. Inflation is concerning in Brazil where a weakening currency and fiscal expansion are fueling an inflationary rebound. Mexico also faces an uncertain inflationary outlook and modest growth prospects.

The following discussion focuses on relevant economic conditions and various circumstances impacting the December 31, 2024 allowance for loan and lease losses of each of our loan and lease segments.
Commercial and agricultural – Multiple industries are represented in the commercial and agricultural portfolio and the outlook for the portfolio remains guarded. Small businesses are challenged to absorb higher interest rates, higher cost of capital, compete for labor, and control expenses. In our underlying industries, wholesalers have generally performed well and have been able to pass along rising costs. Manufacturers remain under pressure as demand for durable goods remains soft. The recreational vehicle industry, which is centered in our footprint, continues to struggle with lower demand and production overcapacity as it navigates a sharp decline from record high shipment levels reached in 2022. The outlook for 2025 remains weak; minimally improved from 2024. Pressures in the agricultural markets are becoming evident, as sharp declines in commodity prices coupled with continued high input costs hurt 2024 results and dampened prospects for the upcoming year. We experienced higher charge-offs in the commercial and agricultural portfolio for a second consecutive year after a previously sustained period of low credit losses. Credit quality remains acceptable, but we have seen increased special attention activity within the portfolio.
Renewable energy – Our renewable energy (predominately solar) portfolio continues to perform well. Growth opportunities abound and overall credit quality remains solid. Risks include construction and developer related risks and delays, site issues, climate and weather risks, regulatory problems and permitting issues, as well as utility interconnection delays. Maturity risk and refinancing costs are elevated given the higher interest rate environment. To date, we have not incurred any losses in this portfolio and credit performance continues to be favorable.
Auto and light truck – The primary auto rental segment of the auto and light truck portfolio reported lower loan demand and weakening credit metrics after several years of strong performance. We are seeing evidence of industry struggles in the portfolio as higher interest rates, higher vehicle costs, and shrinking rental rates take their toll. Credit quality weakened during the year evidenced by an increase in special attention downgrades, delinquency, and requests for payment relief. Wholesale used vehicle valuations softened through the first half of 2024 but stabilized in the second half, ending the year generally flat overall. Prices did soften within the electric vehicle segment of which we have limited exposure. Overall, vehicle values remain above the longer-term trend line and constrained original equipment manufacturer (OEM) production volumes have likely provided some pricing support. Clients are returning to more normalized fleet cycles, but increased vehicle costs have strained performance and extended inventory holding times. We have tightened our underwriting standards to maintain appropriate terms in an attempt to limit our exposure to downward price movements in the underlying vehicle collateral. The auto leasing segment performed well in 2024 and the portfolio exhibits stable credit quality and low delinquency. Leasing customers lease to auto rental companies as well as other commercial entities. Our auto leasing portfolio is concentrated in larger client exposures. We remain diligent in setting our terms and residual values appropriately and monitoring fleet mix given recent volatility in vehicle prices. Despite signs of weakening credit metrics, the auto and light truck portfolio reported a net recovery position for the year. To account for weakening credit metrics in our auto rental segment, we adjusted qualitative factors for elevated special attention risk within our allowance for loan and lease losses.
Medium and heavy duty truck – The industry continues to struggle with overcapacity and weak freight rates. This portfolio has historically been a barometer for overall economic weakness and the industry has experienced several high-profile carrier bankruptcies and generally difficult conditions. In previous downturns, small companies and independent owner-operators were hit the hardest and asset valuations were pressured. Asset valuations have weakened. The portfolio reported a slight decline in loan balances for the year and has exhibited some credit weakness, although it has likely outperformed the industry as a whole and the Company did not incur any credit losses in the portfolio during the period. The possibility of labor unrest within the shipping industry raises the potential for volatility in the segment and we continue to monitor for signs of credit deterioration in our portfolio given the industry’s increased risk profile.
Aircraft – The Company experienced modest loan growth in the domestic aircraft segment during the period while growth in our foreign portfolio was essentially flat. Aircraft collateral values, particularly those in our niche, strengthened considerably early in this economic cycle but are now showing signs of softening with increasing available inventory. The portfolio has maintained stable credit quality in recent years, but was among the sectors affected most by the sluggish economy following the Great Recession. Our portfolio loss history has been volatile, characterized by lengthy periods of minimal losses or modest recoveries followed by short intervals of high losses. In this portfolio, we have $301 million of foreign exposure, primarily domiciled in Mexico and Brazil. Brazil’s economy generally outperformed expectations during 2024, but faces increasing inflationary and fiscal concerns, higher interest rates, and a sharply weakening currency. The Mexican economy experienced modest growth in 2024, and remains highly dependent on the U.S. economy. Heavy indebtedness and financial problems with state-owned oil firm Pemex are an ongoing concern for Mexico’s broader growth prospects.

Construction equipment – Our construction equipment portfolio reported another year of solid growth, but at a slower rate as compared to previous periods. Infrastructure spending has had a positive impact for many contractors within the segment. The portfolio experienced stable credit quality in the time period between the Great Recession and the pandemic, but there have been credit quality concerns with unanticipated downgrades to special attention in recent years. The portfolio reported increased monthly delinquency activity during the period and currently accounts for the Company’s highest share of nonperforming assets. The portfolio has also recognized several sizeable losses in recent years which have been successfully mitigated, achieving fairly high recovery rates with time. There remains elevated concern for construction contractors as the portfolio is inherently vulnerable to energy price volatility, high interest rates, and changes in the regulatory environment. Construction projects can have unknown costs or delays and large project risk is ever-present. Volatile energy, labor, and material prices create difficulties for cost structures in an industry that often operates under longer-term contracts lacking adequate cost escalators. Our portfolio has seen multiple instances of contractors having difficulty managing and collecting receivables which resulted in severe payment difficulties. Historically, we have experienced less volatility in this portfolio than the broader industry as losses have been mitigated by appropriate underwriting and a global market for used construction equipment. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments at year-end, and maintained factors for concentration risk of overall bank capital given the portfolio’s loan growth, elevated problem loan activity in the segment given steady special attention volumes, and added a factor for increasing delinquency and nonperforming asset trends.
Commercial real estate – Similar to the commercial portfolio, our commercial real estate loans are concentrated in our local market with local customers although we do fund select projects outside our market with multi-state developers that are headquartered in our footprint. Approximately 62% of the Bank’s exposure in this portfolio is from owner-occupied facilities where we are the primary relationship bank for our clients. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments as of year-end and made slight adjustments to factors addressing interest rate maturity risk along with construction risk in select segments as the loan volume of projects under construction remains much higher than prior periods. We have seen an uptick in special attention activity in our owner-occupied segment, while our non-owner-occupied segment has maintained generally stable credit quality. We continue to be concerned about higher interest and capitalization rates within the non-owner-occupied segment and the potential negative impact on both real estate valuations and projected cash flows.
Residential real estate and home equity – Our residential real estate and home equity portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. Generally, residential mortgage loans are originated using standards that result in salable mortgages. Home equity loans are also advanced in compliance with regulatory guidelines and the Bank’s credit policy. Losses in these portfolios have been immaterial since 2013. Qualitative factors in the portfolio are primarily for reasonable and supportable forecasts, although we maintained a previous adjustment to account for an elevated amount of non-salable adjustable-rate mortgages in the loan mix with repricing risk at maturity.
Consumer – Our consumer loan portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. This portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by autos with advances in compliance with the Bank’s underwriting standards. Losses are stable during good economic times and tend to increase when there is deterioration in local economic factors and employment rates. Loss rates had been modest from 2013 through the end of the pandemic, but we experienced higher write-downs within the portfolio in each of the last two years. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments at the end of the 2024 which primarily consist of reasonable and supportable forecasts and made an upward adjustment to account for increasing delinquency and nonperforming activity within the portfolio.
Allowance for loan and lease losses – The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2024, totaled $155.54 million and was 2.27% of loans and leases, compared to $147.55 million or 2.26% of loans and leases at December 31, 2023 and $139.27 million or 2.32% of loans and leases at December 31, 2022. It is our opinion that the allowance for loan and lease losses was appropriate to absorb current expected credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2024.
Charge-offs for loan and lease losses were $13.73 million for 2024, compared to $6.65 million for 2023 and $3.41 million for 2022. Primarily reflective of our strong loan and lease growth and qualitative adjustments, we added $13.66 million to the provision for credit losses on loans and leases for 2024, compared to a provision of $5.87 million for 2023 and a provision of $13.25 million for 2022.

Nonperforming Assets — Nonperforming assets include loans past due over 90 days, nonaccrual loans and leases, other real estate, repossessions and other nonperforming assets we own. Our policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans and leases where principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for 90 days or more, or when an individual analysis of a borrower’s credit worthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonperforming status, except for residential real estate and home equity loans, which are placed on nonaccrual at the time the loan is placed in foreclosure and consumer loans that are both well secured and in the process of collection.
Nonperforming assets amounted to $31.33 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $24.24 million at December 31, 2023, and $26.93 million at December 31, 2022. During 2024, interest income on nonaccrual loans and leases would have increased by approximately $2.06 million compared to $1.47 million in 2023 if these loans and leases had earned interest at their full contractual rate.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2024 increased from December 31, 2023, mainly due to increases in nonaccrual loans and leases in the construction equipment portfolio and to a lesser extent, the residential real estate and home equity portfolio offset by a decrease in nonaccrual loans and leases in the commercial and agricultural portfolio. Repossessions consisted mainly of units in the construction equipment portfolio. There is currently one property held in other real estate related to our construction equipment portfolio.

Potential Problem Loans — Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing but for which management has concerns about the ability of a borrower to continue to comply with repayment terms because of potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans closely and reviews their performance on a regular basis. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $20.60 million and $34.04 million, respectively, in loans of this type which are not included in either of the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan categories. At December 31, 2024, potential problem loans consisted of five relationships; one relationship in the commercial and agricultural portfolio, one relationship in the aircraft portfolio, one relationship in the medium and heavy duty truck portfolio, and two relationships in the construction portfolio. Weakness in the borrowers’ operating performance have caused us to give heighten attention to these credits.

During December 2023, we borrowed $100 million from the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program based on the economics of the borrowing relative to our other funding sources. During January 2024, we refinanced the borrowing at a lower rate for another one year period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Core Deposits — Our major source of investable funds is provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit and certain certificates of deposit over $250,000 based on established FDIC insured deposits. In 2024, average core deposits equaled 71.39% of average total assets, compared to 73.77% in 2023 and 79.60% in 2022. The effective rate of core deposits in 2024 was 1.97%, compared to 1.45% in 2023 and 0.32% in 2022.
Average noninterest bearing core deposits decreased 8.22% in 2024 compared to a decrease of 13.97% in 2023. These represented 25.79% of total core deposits in 2024, compared to 28.24% in 2023, and 31.71% in 2022.
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit over $250,000, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, over-night borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings which includes Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2024, our reliance on purchased funds increased to 12.69% of average total assets from 11.45% in 2023.
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated 12.10% of average total assets in 2024, compared to 11.02% in 2023. Shareholders’ equity was 12.44% of total assets at year-end 2024, compared to 11.34% at year-end 2023. We include unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gains (losses), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, were $87.23 million and $106.32 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The unrealized losses occurred as a result of changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase. Additionally, we do not intend to sell these available-for-sale investment securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities.

Other Liquidity — Under Indiana law governing the collateralization of public fund deposits, the Indiana Board of Depositories determines which financial institutions are required to pledge collateral based on the strength of their financial ratings. We have been informed that no collateral is required for our public fund deposits. However, the Board of Depositories could alter this requirement in the future and adversely impact our liquidity. Our potential liquidity exposure if we must pledge collateral is approximately $1.36 billion.
Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank’s liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, overnight investments, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
The Bank’s liquidity strategy is guided by internal policies and the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. Internal guidelines consist of:
(i)Available Liquidity (sum of short term borrowing capacity) greater than $500 million;
(ii)Liquidity Ratio (total of net cash, short term investments and unpledged marketable assets divided by the sum of net deposits and short term liabilities) greater than 15%;
(iii)Dependency Ratio (net potentially volatile liabilities minus short term investments divided by total earning assets minus short term investments) less than 15%; and
(iv)Loans to Deposits Ratio less than 100%
At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the foregoing internal policies and regulatory guidelines.
The Bank also maintains a contingency funding plan that assesses the liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and credit rating downgrades. The plan includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The contingency plan provides for ongoing monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
We maintain prudent strategies to support a strong liquidity position. The following table represents our sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2024.

Interest Rate Risk Management — ALCO monitors and manages the relationship of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset yields, interest expense, and interest margins to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we face ongoing interest rate risks and uncertainties. We may utilize interest rate swaps to partially manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.
A hypothetical change in net interest income was modeled by calculating an immediate 200 basis point (2.00%) and 100 basis point (1.00%) increase and a 100 basis point (1.00%) decrease in interest rates across all maturities. The following table shows the aggregate hypothetical impact to pre-tax net interest income.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the impact of these hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative holdings was not significant, and, as such, separate disclosure is not presented. We manage the interest rate risk related to mortgage loan commitments by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans with outside parties. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations — In the ordinary course of operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include customer deposits, the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as operating leases for the rent of premises and equipment. Additionally, we routinely enter into contracts for services that may require payment to be provided in the future and may contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract. Further discussion of commitments and contractual obligations is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes 10, 11, 12 and 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also enter into derivative contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from, or pay cash to, counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the contracts changes daily as market interest rates change. Further discussion of derivative contracts is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Assets under management and assets under custody are held in fiduciary or custodial capacity for our clients. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these assets are not included on our balance sheet.
We are also party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Core Deposits — Our major source of investable funds is provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit and certain certificates of deposit over $250,000 based on established FDIC insured deposits. In 2023, average core deposits equaled 73.77% of average total assets, compared to 79.60% in 2022 and 78.04% in 2021. The effective rate of core deposits in 2023 was 1.45%, compared to 0.32% in 2022 and 0.12% in 2021.
Average noninterest bearing core deposits decreased 13.97% in 2023 compared to an increase of 8.27% in 2022. These represented 28.24% of total core deposits in 2023, compared to 31.71% in 2022, and 31.20% in 2021.
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit over $250,000, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, over-night borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings which includes Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2023, our reliance on purchased funds increased to 11.45% of average total assets from 6.19% in 2022.

Table of Contents
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated to 11.02% of average total assets in 2023, compared to 10.81% in 2022. Shareholders’ equity was 11.34% of total assets at year-end 2023, compared to 10.36% at year-end 2022. We include unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gains (losses), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, were $106.32 million and $147.69 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The unrealized losses occurred as a result of changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase. Additionally, we do not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities.
Other Liquidity — Under Indiana law governing the collateralization of public fund deposits, the Indiana Board of Depositories determines which financial institutions are required to pledge collateral based on the strength of their financial ratings. We have been informed that no collateral is required for our public fund deposits. However, the Board of Depositories could alter this requirement in the future and adversely impact our liquidity. Our potential liquidity exposure if we must pledge collateral is approximately $1.23 billion.
Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank’s liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, overnight investments, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
The Bank’s liquidity strategy is guided by internal policies and the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. Internal guidelines consist of:
(i)Available Liquidity (sum of short term borrowing capacity) greater than $500 million;
(ii)Liquidity Ratio (total of net cash, short term investments and unpledged marketable assets divided by the sum of net deposits and short term liabilities) greater than 15%;
(iii)Dependency Ratio (net potentially volatile liabilities minus short term investments divided by total earning assets minus short term investments) less than 15%; and
(iv)Loans to Deposits Ratio less than 100%
At December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the foregoing internal policies and regulatory guidelines.
The Bank also maintains a contingency funding plan that assesses the liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and credit rating downgrades. The plan includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The contingency plan provides for ongoing monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates or judgments reflect management’s view of the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our overall financial performance. Because these estimates or judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. As such, changes in these estimates, judgments, and/or assumptions may have a significant impact on our financial statements. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 1), should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how our financial performance is recorded and reported.
We have identified the following two policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex estimates or judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and fair value measurements. Management believes it has used the best information available to make the estimations or judgments necessary to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from estimates or judgments and future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact net income. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Following is a discussion of the areas we view as our most critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our existing loan and lease portfolio and the establishment of an allowance that is sufficient to absorb those losses. As of December 31, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as current expected credit losses (CECL). The accounting standard was implemented at a time when we were experiencing conditions without historical precedent. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgement by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In determining an appropriate allowance, management makes numerous judgments, assumptions, and estimates which are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. These estimates are derived based on continuous review of the loan and lease portfolio, assessments of client performance, movement through delinquency stages, probability of default, losses given default, collateral values, and disposition, as well as expected cash flows, economic forecasts, and qualitative factors, such as changes in current economic conditions.
As stated in Note 1, we segment our loan and lease portfolios based on similar risk characteristics for collective evaluation using a non-discounted cash flow approach to estimate expected losses. We use a cohort cumulative loss methodology for select loan and lease segments. The cohort methodology has a steady state assumption. For other segments, we use a PD/LGD (probability of default/loss given default) model which aligns well with our internal risk rating system. When we observe limitations in the data or models, we use model overlays to make adjustments to model outputs to capture a particular risk or compensate for a known limitation, or in the case of the cohort model, changes in the steady state assumptions. Actual losses may differ from estimated amounts due to model inefficiencies or management’s inability to adequately determine appropriate model adjustment factors.
The accounting standard further requires management to use forecasts about future economic conditions to determine the expected credit losses over the remaining life of the asset. Forecast adjustments are fundamentally difficult to establish and the current environment presents challenges with persistent inflation, markedly higher interest rates, and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. We endeavor to apply a forecast adjustment that is directionally consistent, reasonable, supportable, and reflective of current expectations and conditions. We use a two-year reasonable and supportable period across all loan and lease segments to forecast economic conditions. We believe the two-year time horizon aligns with available industry guidance and various forecasting sources. Following this two-year forecasting period, we use a two-year reversion period to revert forecast rates to historical loss rates.

Table of Contents
In assessing the factors used to derive an appropriate allowance, management benefits from a lengthy organizational history and experience with credit decisions and related outcomes. We have been diligent in our efforts to gain a thorough understanding of the CECL accounting standard, and have reviewed our portfolios, loan segmentations, methodologies and models and believe we have made appropriate and prudent decisions. Nonetheless, if management’s underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the allowance for loan and lease losses would have to be adjusted. Our accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses is disclosed in Note 1 under the heading “Allowance for Credit Losses.”
Fair Value Measurements — We use fair value measurements to record certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities, trading account securities, mortgage loans held for sale, and interest rate swap agreements are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of, or specific reserves against, individual assets. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-driven or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market data. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market data, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and data are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in the market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we use valuation techniques that require more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement. Fair value is discussed further in Note 1 under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” and in Note 21, “Fair Value Measurements.”
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income available to common shareholders in 2022 was $120.51 million, up from $118.53 million in 2021 and up from $81.44 million in 2020. Diluted net income per common share was $4.84 in 2022, $4.70 in 2021, and $3.17 in 2020. Return on average total assets was 1.49% in 2022 compared to 1.53% in 2021, and 1.14% in 2020. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 13.81% in 2022 versus 13.07% in 2021, and 9.41% in 2020.
Net income in 2022, as compared to 2021, was positively impacted by a $26.83 million or 11.34% increase in net interest income and a $1.45 million or 0.78% decrease in noninterest expense which was offset by a $17.55 million or 407.81% increase in the provision for credit losses and a $8.83 million or 8.82% decrease in noninterest income. Net income in 2021, as compared to 2020, was positively impacted by a $10.82 million or 4.79% increase in net interest income, a $40.30 million or 111.95% decrease in the provision for credit losses, and a $1.22 million or 0.65% decrease in noninterest expense which was offset by a $3.80 million or 3.65% decrease in noninterest income and a $11.45 million or 46.01% increase in income tax expense.
Dividends paid on common stock in 2022 amounted to $1.26 per share, compared to $1.21 per share in 2021, and $1.13 per share in 2020. The level of earnings reinvested and dividend payouts are determined by the Board of Directors based on various considerations, including liquidity needs, capital requirements, and management’s assessment of future growth opportunities and the level of capital necessary to support them.
Net Interest Income — Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities while deposits and borrowings represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is done on a tax-equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable.
Net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) is significantly affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin on a fully taxable- equivalent basis was 3.45% in 2022, compared to 3.23% in 2021 and 3.39% in 2020. Net interest income was $263.47 million for 2022, compared to $236.64 million for 2021 and $225.82 million for 2020. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $264.10 million for 2022, up $27.00 million from the $237.10 million reported in 2021. Tax-equivalent net interest income for 2021 was up $10.73 million from the $226.36 million reported for 2020.

During 2022, average earning assets increased $322.53 million or 4.39% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $217.47 million or 4.55% over the comparable period in 2021. The yield on average earning assets increased 36 basis points to 3.84% for 2022 from 3.48% for 2021 primarily due to higher rates on loans and leases and investment securities. Total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points to 0.61% during 2022 from 0.38% in 2021 as a result of the higher interest rate environment. The result to the fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin was an increase of 22 basis points.
The largest contributor to the increase in the yield on average earning assets in 2022 was the 42 basis point improvement in the loan and lease portfolio yield primarily due to market conditions as a result of seven Federal Reserve interest rate increases during the year. Average loans and leases increased $128.88 million or 2.37% in 2022 from 2021 while the yield increased to 4.74%. The yield on net loans and leases was positively impacted by three basis points in 2022 due to the recognition of $2.70 million of fees on PPP loans which have been forgiven by the SBA or paid down by customers. PPP forgiveness and customer payments totaled $74.88 million for the full year of 2022 with less than $1 million remaining. Strong growth primarily within our specialty finance group portfolios drove total average loans and leases higher during the year.
During 2022, the tax-equivalent yield on investment securities available-for-sale increased 21 basis points to 1.50% while the average balance grew $401.97 million or 27.85% with the largest increases in U.S. treasury and federal agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Average mortgages held for sale decreased $11.85 million or 69.59% during 2022 while the yield increased 156 basis points. Average other investments, which include federal funds sold, time deposits with other banks, Federal Reserve Bank excess balances, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock and commercial paper decreased $196.48 million or 44.61% during 2022 while the yield increased 75 basis points. The average balance decrease in other investments was primarily a result of lower balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $213.14 million or 4.78% during 2022 while the effective rate paid on those deposits increased 26 basis points. The increased average balance was primarily due to increases in business, consumer and public fund deposits. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of higher rates and a shift in the deposit mix. The deposit mix changed as the year progressed with clients moving their funds from non-maturity accounts to certificates of deposit due to the rising interest rate environment. Additionally, brokered deposits grew during the fourth quarter. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $155.71 million or 8.27% during 2022 due primarily to uncertain economic conditions and business customers maintaining a cautious stance with their funds and spending.
Average short-term borrowings increased $28.24 million or 15.12% during 2022 while the effective rate paid increased 63 basis points. The increase in short-term borrowings was primarily the result of higher borrowings with the FHLB as part of liquidity management to support loan growth. Average long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable securities balances decreased $23.91 million or 30.32% during 2022 as the effective rate decreased 301 basis points primarily due to lower rates on mandatorily redeemable securities from a reduction in book value per share during 2022. Mandatorily redeemable shares are issued under the terms of one of our executive incentive compensation plans and are settled based on book value per share with changes from the previous reporting date recorded as interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components) and net interest margin (including its individual components). Management believes that these measures provide users of the Company’s financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The following table shows the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for the most recent three years ended December 31.

Trust and wealth advisory fees (which include investment management fees, estate administration fees, mutual fund fees, annuity fees, and fiduciary fees) decreased $0.68 million or 2.84% in 2022 from 2021 compared to a $2.67 million or 12.64% increase in 2021 over 2020. Trust and wealth advisory fees are largely based on the number and size of client relationships and the market value of assets under management. The market value of trust assets under management at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $4.84 billion and $5.33 billion, respectively. The negative performance of the stock and bond markets in 2022 resulted in a decline in the market value of trust assets under management compared to 2021. At December 31, 2022, these trust assets were comprised of $3.21 billion of personal and agency trusts and estate administration assets, $1.03 billion of employee benefit plan assets, $0.49 million of individual retirement accounts, and $0.11 million of custody assets.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $1.56 million or 14.70% in 2022 from 2021 compared to an increase of $1.10 million or 11.64% in 2021 from 2020. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2022 was primarily due to increased consumer and business nonsufficient fund transactions. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts in 2021 was primarily due to a higher customer ATM fees from an increased volume of transactions and a change in the fees charged, as well as increased business deposit account fees offset by a decrease in consumer nonsufficient fund transactions. Economic recovery in 2021 led to a corresponding improvement in consumer and business activity.
Debit card income was relatively flat from 2022 to 2021 compared to an increase of $3.14 million or 20.97% in 2021 from 2020. The decline in 2022 to 2021 was mainly the result of decreased discretionary spending and a focus on core expenses by consumers. Debit card transactions in 2021 were helped significantly by the reopened economy driving increased consumer activity.
Mortgage banking income dropped $7.70 million or 65.13% in 2022 over 2021, compared to a $3.85 million or 24.58% decrease in 2021 from 2020. We had $0.81 million of MSR impairment recoveries in 2021 and $0.81 million of MSR impairment charges in 2020. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we determined that no permanent write-down was necessary for previously recorded impairment on MSRs. During 2022, mortgage banking income decreased primarily due to reduced mortgage origination volumes resulting in lower income on loans sold in the secondary market. Demand for mortgages has continued to decline with steep increases in interest rates, limited inventory, and fewer housing starts all of which impacted market activity. During 2021, mortgage banking income decreased primarily due to reduced margins on a lower volume of loan sales.
Insurance commissions declined $0.54 million or 7.51% in 2022 compared to 2021 and improved $0.22 million or 3.16% in 2021 compared to 2020. The decrease in 2022 was primarily due to a reduced book of business and fewer contingent commissions received. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to higher contingent commissions received due to achieving sales goals set forth by various carrier incentive programs.
Equipment rental income generated from operating leases decreased by $4.37 million or 26.27% during 2022 from 2021 compared to a reduction of $6.73 million or 28.80% during 2021 from 2020. The average equipment rental portfolio decreased 21.27% in 2022 over 2021 and decreased 29.16% in 2021 over 2020 as a result of reduced leasing volume primarily in the construction equipment and the auto and light truck portfolios due to changing customer preferences and competitive pricing pressures for new business. In 2022 and 2021, the decline in rental income was offset by a similar decline in depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases.

Losses on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale were $0.18 million and $0.68 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were gains of $0.28 million on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale for the year ended 2020. Losses and gains on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale were primarily from the sale of Federal agency securities in 2022 and corporate securities in 2021 and 2020, with the goal of managing portfolio risk and liquidity.
Other income improved $2.48 million or 19.76% in 2022 from 2021 compared to an increase of $0.61 million or 5.11% in 2021 from 2020. The increase in 2022 was mainly a result of partnership investment gains on sale of renewable energy tax equity investments of $2.24 million and higher bank owned life insurance policy claims offset by a write down of $0.37 million on small business capital investments and reduced customer swap fees of $0.33 million. The increase in 2021 was mainly a result of higher brokerage fees and commissions and increased partnership investment gains offset by reduced customer swap fees and lower bank owned life insurance policy claims.
Noninterest Expense — Noninterest expense decreased $1.45 million or 0.78% in 2022 from 2021 following a $1.22 million or 0.65% decrease in 2021 from 2020. The following table shows noninterest expense for the most recent three years ended December 31.

Total salaries and employee benefits were relatively flat in 2022 from 2021, following a $4.25 million or 4.19% increase in 2021 from 2020.
Employee salaries grew $0.62 million or 0.73% in 2022 from 2021 compared to an increase of $2.93 million or 3.54% in 2021 from 2020. The increase in 2022 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases offset by a decrease in incentive compensation and commission compensation primarily in our residential mortgage area. The growth in 2021 was mainly a result of higher base salaries due to normal merit increases and a rise in incentive compensation including a one-time special reward to COVID-19 vaccinated employees announced at the end of 2021 offset by a decrease in commission compensation primarily in our residential mortgage area.
Employee benefits decreased $1.32 million or 6.58% in 2022 from 2021, compared to a $1.32 million or 7.05% increase in 2021 from 2020. During 2022, group insurance costs were lower due to decreased claims experienced compared to levels in 2021. In 2021, company contributions to employee retirement accounts increased due to higher salaries during 2021 and a rise in group insurance costs as healthcare access and usage increased from levels in 2020.
Occupancy expense rose $0.20 million or 1.94% in 2022 from 2021, compared to an increase of $0.25 million or 2.41% in 2021 from 2020. The elevated expense in 2022 was primarily the result of higher snow removal costs due to inclement weather conditions. The increased expense in 2021 was primarily the result of higher premises repairs and cleaning offset by lower real estate taxes and reduced lease expenses.
Furniture and equipment expense, including depreciation, declined by $0.53 million or 8.85% in 2022 from 2021 compared to a decrease of $0.56 million or 8.62% in 2021 from 2020. The lower expense in 2022 was primarily due to a reduction in equipment rental and depreciation expenses. The lower expense in 2021 was primarily due to a reduction in furniture and equipment depreciation and lower corporate aircraft maintenance.
Data processing expense rose by $2.50 million or 12.57% in 2022 from 2021, following a $0.73 million or 3.81% increase in 2021 from 2020. The increase in 2022 was due to a rise in software maintenance costs and higher computer processing charges related to a variety of technology projects. The increase in 2021 was a result of increases in software maintenance costs and point of sale computer operating expenses.
Depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases declined $3.67 million or 26.81% in 2022 from 2021, following a $6.51 million or 32.22% decrease in 2021 from 2020. In 2022 and 2021, depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases correlated with the change in equipment rental income.

Professional fees decreased $1.40 million or 16.09% in 2022 from 2021, compared to a $2.36 million or 37.34% increase in 2021 from 2020. The lower expense in 2022 can primarily be attributed to a decline in legal fees offset by increased utilization of consulting services for technology projects and compliance services. The higher expense in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to a rise in legal fees and increased utilization of consulting services for technology projects.
FDIC and other insurance expense grew $0.95 million or 35.41% in 2022 from 2021 and increased $0.07 million or 2.72% in 2021 from 2020. The increase in 2022 was mainly the result of higher assessments for FDIC premiums from a larger asset base and a one-time $0.38 million recovery of an incurred but not reported insurance reserve in 2021. The increase in 2021 was mainly the result of $0.55 million in FDIC insurance premium credits received during 2020 which were not present in 2021 offset by a one-time $0.38 million recovery of an incurred but not reported insurance reserve.
Business development and marketing expenses declined $2.19 million or 27.33% in 2022 from 2021 and rose $3.86 million or 92.76% in 2021 from 2020. The decreased expense in 2022 was mainly the result of a one-time charitable contribution of $3.00 million made during 2021 offset by increased business development expense and marketing promotions. The higher expense in 2021 was mainly the result of a charitable contribution of $3.00 million made during 2021 to support COVID-19 initiatives and increased business development expense as a result of more business entertainment and travel opportunities tied to fewer COVID-19 restrictions.
Other expenses increased by $3.39 million or 31.05% in 2022 as compared to 2021 and decreased $5.66 million or 34.18% in 2021 as compared to 2020. The higher expense in 2022 was primarily the result of an increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments, a rise in the provision for interest rate swaps with customers, and higher employee training expenses. The reduction in 2021 was primarily the result of lower general collection and repossession expenses, fewer valuation adjustments on repossessed assets, a lower provision for interest rate swaps with customers, a decrease in the provision for unfunded loan commitments, and a reduction in postage and shipping expenses offset by reduced gains on the sale of operating lease equipment and higher employee training expenses due to fewer COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Income Taxes — 1st Source recognized income tax expense in 2022 of $36.26 million, compared to $36.33 million in 2021, and $24.88 million in 2020. The effective tax rate in 2022 was 23.12% compared to 23.45% in 2021, and 23.40% in 2020.

At December 31, 2022, there were no concentrations within the loan portfolio of 10% or more of total loans and leases.
Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, at December 31, 2022, were $6.01 billion and were 72.08% of total assets, compared to $5.35 billion and 66.03% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Average loans and leases, net of unearned discount, increased $128.88 million or 2.37% and decreased $25.62 million or 0.47% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. PPP loans, net of unearned discount, at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.90 million and $73.08 million, respectively, and were located in the Commercial and agricultural lending portfolio.

Commercial and agricultural lending, excluding those loans secured by real estate but including PPP loans, decreased $106.68 million or 11.61% in 2022 over 2021. Commercial and agricultural lending outstandings were $812.03 million and $918.71 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Similar to 2021, the decrease during 2022 was largely due to PPP loan forgiveness and customer pay downs which amounted to $74.88 million during 2022. Additionally, one-time reclassifications of loan outstandings from this portfolio into the commercial real estate portfolio of $32.66 million contributed to the balance reduction. Excluding PPP loans, commercial and agricultural outstandings were $811.13 million and $845.63 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Solar loans and leases increased $32.86 million or 9.43% in 2022 over 2021. Solar loan and lease outstandings were $381.16 million and $348.30 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase during 2022 was due to continued positive momentum in this business line. We expect that momentum to continue into 2023.
Auto and light truck loans increased $204.34 million or 33.84% in 2022 over 2021. At December 31, 2022, auto and light truck loans had outstandings of $808.12 million and $603.78 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to expanding relationships with existing clients and selectively adding new clients during a time of continued constrained fleet availability.
Medium and heavy duty truck loans and leases increased $54.12 million or 20.84% in 2022. Medium and heavy duty truck financing at December 31, 2022 and 2021 had outstandings of $313.86 million and $259.74 million, respectively. The increase at December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 can be mainly attributed to expanded relationships with existing clients while fleet availability continues to be constrained.
Aircraft financing at year-end 2022 increased $179.32 million or 19.96% from year-end 2021. Aircraft financing at December 31, 2022 and 2021 had outstandings of $1.08 billion and $898.40 million, respectively. The increase during 2022 was due to higher domestic outstandings of $75.17 million and foreign outstandings of $104.15 million. Our 2022 balances increased as demand was bolstered by ongoing health safety concerns sparked by COVID-19 and increasingly less convenient commercial travel. Those concerns as well as customers hoping to take advantage of bonus depreciation, which will begin phasing down during 2023, increased demand for private turbine aircraft especially amongst private business and high net worth market segments. Our foreign outstandings increased 53.88% year over year. Our foreign loan and lease outstandings, all denominated in U.S. dollars were $297.46 million and $193.31 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Loan and lease outstandings to borrowers in Brazil and Mexico were $129.98 million and $136.68 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $65.24 million and $117.90 million as of December 31, 2021, respectively. Outstanding balances to other borrowers in other countries were insignificant.
Construction equipment financing increased $184.23 million or 24.42% in 2022 compared to 2021. Construction equipment financing at December 31, 2022 had outstandings of $938.50 million, compared to outstandings of $754.27 million at December 31, 2021. The growth in this category was primarily due to significant new client relationships and continued growth with existing clients.
Commercial loans secured by real estate, of which approximately 57% is owner occupied, increased $14.40 million or 1.55% in 2022 over 2021. Commercial loans secured by real estate outstanding at December 31, 2022 were $943.75 million and $929.34 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in 2022 was the result of one-time reclassifications from the commercial and agricultural portfolio of $32.66 million as well as by continued modest growth of owner occupied borrowings within certain business sectors of our markets. Our non-owner occupied real estate portfolio again declined slightly as projects took advantage of low market rates and refinanced via the secondary markets. In addition, some of our newer projects have seen continued delays due to labor and material shortages.
Residential real estate and home equity loans were $584.74 million at December 31, 2022 and $500.59 million at December 31, 2021. Residential real estate and home equity loans increased $84.15 million or 16.81% in 2022 from 2021. Residential mortgage and home equity outstandings grew in 2022 as new adjustable-rate mortgage loans were retained rather than being sold into the secondary market along with high demand for home equity lines of credit. The trends from 2021 shifted in 2022 as clients did not want to refinance their first mortgages to pull equity from their homes. In addition, a slow housing market and low builder confidence tended to slow home purchases.
Consumer loans increased $18.20 million or 13.68% in 2022 over 2021. Consumer loans outstanding at December 31, 2022, were $151.28 million and $133.08 million at December 31, 2021. Volumes increased as consumer spending improved as restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic were relaxed. In addition, an increase in new and used car prices resulted in an increase in average loan size.

During 2022, approximately 38% of the Bank’s residential mortgage originations were sold into the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale were $3.91 million at December 31, 2022 and were $13.28 million at December 31, 2021.
1st Source Bank sells residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae as well as FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans in Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, we have sold loans on a service released basis to various other financial institutions in the past. The agreements under which we sell these mortgage loans contain various representations and warranties regarding the acceptability of loans for purchase. On occasion, we may be asked to indemnify the loan purchaser for credit losses on loans that were later deemed ineligible for purchase or we may be asked to repurchase a loan. Both circumstances are collectively referred to as “repurchases.” Within the industry, repurchase demands have decreased during recent years. We believe the loans we have underwritten and sold to these entities have met or exceeded applicable transaction parameters.
28
Table of Contents
Our liability for repurchases, included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statements of Financial Condition, was $0.17 million and $0.22 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our (recovery) expense for repurchase losses, included in Loan and Lease Collection and Repossession expense on the Statements of Income, was $(0.05) million in 2022 compared to $(0.09) million in 2021 and $0.03 million in 2020. The mortgage repurchase liability represents our best estimate of the loss that we may incur. The estimate is based on specific loan repurchase requests and a historical loss ratio with respect to origination dollar volume. Because the level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies and other external conditions that may change over the life of the underlying loans, the level of liability for mortgage loan repurchase losses is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment.
CREDIT EXPERIENCE
Allowance for Credit Losses — As of December 31, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology. The allowance for credit losses considers the historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To estimate expected loan and lease losses under CECL, we use a broader range of data than under previous U.S. GAAP. We are able to access loan data over a long-time horizon, generally back to the fourth quarter of 2007, thus capturing most of the economic business cycle which includes the Great Recession and the subsequent long slow recovery which supports full lifetime losses. The CECL methodology requires our loan portfolio to be segregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics. We evaluate each portfolio, establishing numerous segments. We then review risk characteristics for each segment, noting that some pools were either too small for meaningful analysis or contained risk characteristics similar to other pools. Thus, some pools were consolidated.
Loans and leases within each pool are collectively evaluated using either the cohort cumulative loss rate methodology or the probability of default (PD)/loss given default (LGD) methodology with transition matrix PD/historical average LGD. Our management evaluates the allowance quarterly, reviewing all loans and leases over a fixed-dollar amount ($250,000) where the internal credit quality grade is at or below a predetermined classification, actual and anticipated loss experience, current economic events in specific industries, and other pertinent factors including general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates and adjustments to historical loss rates to capture differences that may exist between the current and historical conditions, including consideration of environmental factors, principally economic risk which is generally reflected in forecast adjustments, specific industry risk and concentration risk, all of which may be susceptible to significant and unforeseen changes. We review the status of the loan and lease portfolio to identify borrowers that might develop financial problems in order to aid borrowers in the handling of their accounts and to mitigate losses. Our allowance for loan and lease losses is provided for by direct charges to the provision for credit losses. Losses on loans and leases are charged against the allowance and likewise, recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the allowance. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, we utilize similar processes to estimate our liability for unfunded credit commitments. Our allowance for unfunded credit commitments is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and is provided by direct charges to the provision for unfunded credit commitments located in Other Noninterest Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on management’s evaluation of the allowance for credit losses.
We perform a thorough analysis of charge-offs, non-performing asset levels, special attention outstandings and delinquency in order to review portfolio trends, including specific industry risks and economic conditions, which may have an impact on the allowance and allowance ratios applied to various portfolios. We adjust the calculated historical-based ratio as a result of our analysis of environmental factors, principally specific industry risk, collateral risk and concentration risk, in addition to global economic and political issues. We also have a forecast adjustment that includes key economic factors affecting our portfolios such as growth in gross domestic product, unemployment rates, housing market trends, commodity prices, and inflation. Forecasts are difficult to establish and the current environment presents complexity with near 40-year high inflation, markedly higher interest rates, and heightened uncertainty from the protracted war in Ukraine. Residual economic impacts from the pandemic remain an intermittent, but recurrent, headwind for global trade particularly in China and neighboring countries where spiking COVID-19 cases led to lockdown measures and travel restrictions. Economic growth prospects entering the new year are discouraging, with widespread calls for recession in the U.S. GDP forecasts continue to trend downward as persistent inflation, continued hawkishness of the Federal Reserve, and the ongoing war in Ukraine heavily weigh on the outlook. Current political turmoil in Brazil, growing tensions between China and the U.S., and longstanding turmoil in the Middle East, also cause increased uncertainty. Collateral values are significant to underwriting our specialty finance portfolios and volatility or declining values pose a threat. Concentration risk is impacted primarily by geographic concentration in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan in our business banking and commercial real estate portfolios and by collateral concentration in our specialty finance portfolios.

The outlook for world economies is weak, with decades-high inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, lingering pandemic activity and a consequent slowdown in China impacting the outlook. Current concerns include corruption scandals and political unrest in Latin American countries, the competitive and complex nature of U.S.-China relations, the geopolitical tensions with Russia, and persistent threats of terrorist attacks. In Brazil and Mexico where we have a presence with our aircraft lending, we remain concerned with significant inflation, high interest rates and their resultant economic impact, political unrest most prominently evident in Brazil, and the likelihood of economic weakness in future periods that would parallel an expected slowdown in the U.S. We include a factor in our qualitative adjustments for global risk, as we are increasingly aware of the threat that global concerns may affect our customers. While we are unable to determine with any precision the impact of global economic and political issues on 1st Source Bank’s loan and lease portfolios, we feel the risks are real and significant. We believe there is a risk of negative consequences for our borrowers that would affect their ability to repay their financial obligations. Therefore, we continued to include a factor for global risk in our analysis for 2023.
The following discussion focuses on relevant economic conditions and various circumstances impacting the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan and lease losses of each of our loan and lease segments.
Commercial and agricultural – There are several industries represented in the commercial and agricultural portfolio. Loan outstandings have fluctuated in recent years as two rounds of Paycheck Protection Program loans entered and exited the portfolio with loan forgiveness. Our customers have benefited from the monetary and fiscal stimulus, which provided a lifeline during a period of unprecedented market undercurrents. The outlook for the portfolio is guarded. Small business confidence remains below the long term average as fewer business owners expect the economy to improve in the next six months. Wholesalers and manufacturers have generally performed well and most were able to navigate the supply chain difficulties while passing along rising costs to their consumers. The recreational vehicle industry, which is centered in our footprint, is slowing from record high shipment levels with supply and demand dynamics reversing in recent months. Our business customers engaged in manufacturing for, and supplying the industry, performed very well during the recent years. There has been broad consolidation within the industry over the last two decades and industry suppliers and manufacturers are generally stronger and better capitalized than past cycles to navigate a downturn. The outlook in our agricultural portfolio remains cautiously optimistic as commodity prices remain high, although an expiring Farm Bill is cause for uncertainty. Input prices are expected to remain elevated and along with higher borrowing costs and cash rents, will likely result in thin, but still profitable margins on our agricultural business clients next year. Our customers experienced favorable growing and harvesting conditions during the year which resulted in strong crop yields. In the commercial and agricultural portfolio, we have experienced generally stable credit quality trends with low delinquencies and minimal charge-offs. As of the end of 2022, we reviewed the historical loss ratios and assessed the environmental factors and concentration issues affecting these portfolios and believe the qualitative adjustments we made to our allowance ratios are appropriate and adequate.
Solar – Our entry into solar financing over six years ago continues to gain momentum in terms of the performance of existing projects financed, loan growth opportunities and overall credit quality. Financing is provided to qualified borrowers throughout the continental United States with an emphasis on the region east of the Rocky Mountains. Risks include construction and developer related risks and delays, site issues, climate and weather risks, regulatory problems and permitting issues, as well as risks related to utility companies and their ability and willingness to facilitate the solar customer tying into the grid, among others. To date, we have not incurred any losses in this portfolio and qualitative adjustments were lowered in the portfolio with the current year-end analysis given continued favorable credit performance.

Auto and light truck – The primary auto rental segment of the auto and light truck portfolio experienced a strong year with sizable loan growth as demand for rental vehicles was high and revenue per unit reached a record for the industry. Semiconductor shortages restrained new vehicle production and manufacturers dramatically reduced fleet sales in response. With limited new vehicle availability, used prices skyrocketed and forced operators to forego typical fleet cycles and hold existing inventory for longer periods. The significant increase in vehicle values generally benefited our customers however, elevated valuations increase risk with new fundings which we have attempted to mitigate by maintaining appropriate terms and limiting funding on used units. Wholesale used vehicle prices have declined in nine of the last twelve months and are 15% off the prior year peak, although used values remain well above the historical trendline. Loan growth is strong with operators holding vehicles longer thereby extending fleet cycles. The auto leasing segment also performed well in 2022 and the portfolio exhibits stable credit quality and low delinquency. Leasing customers lease to auto rental companies as well as other commercial entities. We have some concern that increasing vehicle prices and higher borrowing costs could lead to leasing companies stretching for yield by lowering credit quality standards on sub-lessees. We remain diligent in setting our terms and residual value appropriately and monitoring fleet mix given the recent volatility in vehicle prices. The portfolio reported a net recovery position for the year in both the auto rental and specialty vehicle portfolios which include the bus, step van, and funeral car segments. The bus segment experienced losses in the prior two years due to the pandemic and collateral values for motor coaches decreasing substantially during that time. Values are showing signs of stabilization, particularly in late-model motor coaches. There remains concern with repossessing bus units should credit quality deteriorate as outlets for repossessed inventory are not well established and markets are limited. Long-term, there remains uncertainty as some bus portfolio customers may struggle to adapt to the new environment and may experience further losses. We reviewed the annual historical incurred losses and the life of the loan calculated historical loss ratios as of year-end and removed the majority of qualitative factors in the bus segment as we believe historical loss rates are sufficient to cover remaining risk in the portfolio as we recognized charge-offs during 2022 and 2021 and our expectation is that future losses will be lower than recent experience. We believe we appropriately recognized the losses in our portfolio and that peak charge-offs occurred in 2021. Special attention balances decreased from $26.26 million at the end of 2021 to $14.56 million at the end of 2022. Credit quality in the auto rental and leasing portions of the portfolio remain stable and we modestly reduced qualitative factors in those segments.
Medium and heavy duty truck – Credit quality remains stable in the medium and heavy duty truck portfolio. The industry continues to struggle with driver shortages. However, the highly limited inventory of Class 8 tractors experienced in 2021 due to a semiconductor chip shortage appears to have largely been rectified – inventory levels are rebounding and auction valuations are softening. Loan growth opportunities were improved during 2022 as more equipment became available. We believe our reserve ratios for this portfolio are appropriate.
Aircraft – Our domestic and foreign aircraft segments both experienced strong loan growth during the year as high asset valuations and demand for private aircraft increased lending opportunities. The portfolio has been a relatively stable performer of late, but was among the sectors affected most by the sluggish economy following the Great Recession. Our portfolio loss history has been volatile, characterized by lengthy periods of minimal losses or modest recoveries followed by short intervals of higher losses. Aircraft collateral values, particularly those in our niche, have strengthened considerably in this economic cycle. Long, often multi-year, delays for new aircraft have in some instances driven used valuations beyond the price of new aircraft given their immediate availability. In this portfolio we have $297 million of foreign exposure, primarily in Mexico and Brazil. Brazil’s economy continues to struggle to sustain growth and is further hampered by increased inflation fears and political uncertainties. The Mexican economy has fared better of late as its manufacturing rebounded with recovering automotive production. Growth continues to be threatened by drug trafficking and related violence with widespread poverty and income inequality remaining significant concerns. Qualitative adjustments are assigned to Brazil and Mexico’s economic risk as the bulk of foreign aircraft outstandings are domiciled in those markets. Our historical loss ratios reflect our high and volatile loss histories. We adjusted the historical ratios for current conditions, principally, a small increase in collateral concentration risk as we are currently lending into an abnormally strong used aircraft market with increased downside valuation risk on new fundings. Additionally, we increased the qualitative forecast factor adjustment for cohort based pools which is commensurate to the impact of the forecast adjustment in the PD/LGD (probability of default/loss given default) model analysis. We believe the ratios as adjusted are appropriate.

Construction equipment – Our construction equipment portfolio historically has been characterized by stable credit quality; however, there have been credit quality concerns in recent periods with a steady undercurrent of unanticipated downgrades to special attention during the last two years. The portfolio recognized the largest singular charge-off in both 2021 and 2022. The construction industry benefited from growth in private residential construction over the last several years, but higher interest rates and a rapidly slowing housing market have weakened the outlook for site developers. Certain sectors are experiencing stress and we continue to monitor for credit weaknesses. Construction equipment remains vulnerable due to volatility and regulation in the oil and gas sector. The general nature of bidding on construction projects can also have unknown costs or delays. Increased energy costs have been harmful to portfolio clients which often operate under long-term contracts that may lack adequate cost escalators. Diesel prices remain elevated and will be a hardship for clients in the construction industry and have impacted margins. Historically, we have experienced less volatility in this portfolio than the broader industry as losses have been mitigated by appropriate underwriting and a global market for used construction equipment. Continued infrastructure spending is expected to have a positive impact for many contractors within the segment and for the industry’s used equipment markets. We modified our qualitative factors as of 2021 year-end to recognize the increased volume of accounts moving into special attention, and qualitative factors were largely maintained with the 2022 portfolio review given continued special attention activity.
Commercial real estate – Similar to the commercial portfolio, our commercial real estate loans are concentrated in our local market with local customers. Approximately 57% of the Bank’s exposure in this portfolio is from owner occupied facilities where we are the primary relationship bank for our customers. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments as of year-end, and made some modifications as we are concerned about higher interest and capitalization rates within the segment and the potential negative impact on real estate valuations. We believe our ratios as adjusted are appropriate and adequate as of December 31, 2022.
Residential real estate and home equity – Our residential real estate and home equity portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. Generally, residential mortgage loans are originated using standards that result in salable mortgages. Home equity loans are also advanced in compliance with regulatory guidelines and the Bank’s credit policy. Losses in these portfolios have been immaterial since 2013, but we did experience losses during the housing crises and recognized one loss of $0.23 million during 2022 which is related to a commercial special attention account. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments at the end of 2022 which are primarily for reasonable and supportable forecasts, and believe they are appropriate and adequate.
Consumer – Our consumer loan portfolio consists of loans to individuals in the communities we serve. This portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by autos with advances in compliance with the Bank’s underwriting standards. Losses are stable during good economic times and tend to increase when there is deterioration in local economic factors and employment rates. We reviewed our qualitative adjustments at the end of the 2022 which are primarily for reasonable and supportable forecasts, and believe they are appropriate.
The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2022, totaled $139.27 million and was 2.32% of loans and leases, compared to $127.49 million or 2.38% of loans and leases at December 31, 2021 and $140.65 million or 2.56% of loans and leases at December 31, 2020. It is our opinion that the allowance for loan and lease losses was appropriate to absorb current expected credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2022.
Charge-offs for loan and lease losses were $3.41 million for 2022, compared to $12.52 million for 2021 and $13.97 million for 2020. In order to accommodate net charge offs and strong loan and lease growth, we added $13.25 million to the provision for credit losses for 2022, compared to a recovery of provision of $(4.30) million for 2021 and a provision of $36.00 million for 2020.

Nonperforming Assets — Nonperforming assets include loans past due over 90 days, nonaccrual loans and leases, other real estate, repossessions and other nonperforming assets we own. Our policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans and leases where principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for 90 days or more, or when an individual analysis of a borrower’s credit worthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonperforming status, except for residential real estate and home equity loans, which are placed on nonaccrual at the time the loan is placed in foreclosure and consumer loans that are both well secured and in the process of collection.
Nonperforming assets amounted to $26.93 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $41.33 million at December 31, 2021, and $64.53 million at December 31, 2020. During 2022, interest income on nonaccrual loans and leases would have increased by approximately $2.68 million compared to $2.62 million in 2021 if these loans and leases had earned interest at their full contractual rate.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2022 decreased from December 31, 2021, mainly due to declines in nonaccrual loans and leases in the bus segment of the auto and light truck portfolio along with modestly lower nonaccrual loans in construction equipment. Repossessions consisted mainly of units in the bus and step van segments of the auto and light truck portfolio. Other real estate consists of one residential real estate property.

Potential Problem Loans — Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing but for which management has concerns about the ability of a borrower to continue to comply with repayment terms because of the borrowers’ potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans closely and reviews their performance on a regular basis. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $7.83 million and $1.23 million, respectively, in loans of this type which are not included in either of the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan categories. At December 31, 2022, potential problem loans consisted of one credit relationship in the commercial and agricultural portfolio. Weakness in the borrower’s operating performance have caused us to heighten attention given to this credit.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The amortized cost of securities available-for-sale at year-end 2022 increased 4.96% from 2021, following a 59.90% increase from year-end 2020 to year-end 2021. The amortized cost of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2022 was $1.97 billion or 23.61% of total assets, compared to $1.88 billion or 23.17% of total assets at December 31, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Core Deposits — Our major source of investable funds is provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit and certain certificates of deposit over $250,000 based on established FDIC insured deposits. In 2022, average core deposits equaled 79.60% of average total assets, compared to 78.04% in 2021 and 73.64% in 2020. The effective rate of core deposits in 2022 was 0.32%, compared to 0.12% in 2021 and 0.39% in 2020.
Average noninterest bearing core deposits increased 8.27% in 2022 compared to an increase of 22.96% in 2021. These represented 31.71% of total core deposits in 2022, compared to 31.20% in 2021, and 29.20% in 2020.
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit over $250,000, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, over-night borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2022, our reliance on purchased funds decreased to 6.19% of average total assets from 6.41% in 2021.

Table of Contents
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated to 10.81% of average total assets in 2022, compared to 11.73% in 2021. Shareholders’ equity was 10.36% of total assets at year-end 2022, compared to 11.32% at year-end 2021. We include unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gains (losses), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, were $147.69 million and $9.86 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The unrealized losses occurred as a result of changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase. Additionally, we do not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities.
Other Liquidity — Under Indiana law governing the collateralization of public fund deposits, the Indiana Board of Depositories determines which financial institutions are required to pledge collateral based on the strength of their financial ratings. We have been informed that no collateral is required for our public fund deposits. However, the Board of Depositories could alter this requirement in the future and adversely impact our liquidity. Our potential liquidity exposure if we must pledge collateral is approximately $1.15 billion.
Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank’s liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, overnight investments, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
The Bank’s liquidity strategy is guided by internal policies and the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. Internal guidelines consist of:
(i)Available Liquidity (sum of short term borrowing capacity) greater than $500 million;
(ii)Liquidity Ratio (total of net cash, short term investments and unpledged marketable assets divided by the sum of net deposits and short term liabilities) greater than 15%;
(iii)Dependency Ratio (net potentially volatile liabilities minus short term investments divided by total earning assets minus short term investments) less than 15%; and
(iv)Loans to Deposits Ratio less than 100%
At December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the foregoing internal policies and regulatory guidelines.
The Bank also maintains a contingency funding plan that assesses the liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and credit rating downgrades. The plan includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The contingency plan provides for ongoing monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
We have borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. 1st Source Bank has established relationships with several banks to provide short term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchased. At December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings in the federal funds market. We could borrow $245.00 million in additional funds for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. As of December 31, 2022, we had $91.31 million outstanding in FHLB advances and could borrow an additional $464.70 million contingent on the FHLB activity-based stock ownership requirement. We also had no outstandings with the FRB and could borrow $444.99 million as of December 31, 2022.

Interest Rate Risk Management — ALCO monitors and manages the relationship of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset yields, interest expense, and interest margins to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we face ongoing interest rate risks and uncertainties. We may utilize interest rate swaps to partially manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.
A hypothetical change in net interest income was modeled by calculating an immediate 200 basis point (2.00%) and 100 basis point (1.00%) increase and a 100 basis point (1.00%) decrease in interest rates across all maturities. The following table shows the aggregate hypothetical impact to pre-tax net interest income.
| Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
| Basis Point Interest Rate Change | 12 Months | 24 Months | 12 Months | 24 Months | ||||
| Up 200 | (2.32)% | 2.99% | 0.34% | 7.00% | ||||
| Up 100 | (1.15)% | 1.52% | (0.51)% | 2.86% | ||||
| Down 100 | (2.39)% | (5.10)% | (3.22)% | (8.00)% |
The earnings simulation model excludes the earnings dynamics related to how fee income and noninterest expense may be affected by changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. The use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of the balance sheet should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy or the accuracy of the related assumptions.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the impact of these hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative holdings was not significant, and, as such, separate disclosure is not presented. We manage the interest rate risk related to mortgage loan commitments by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans with outside parties. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations — In the ordinary course of operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include customer deposits, the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as operating leases for the rent of premises and equipment. Additionally, we routinely enter into contracts for services that may require payment to be provided in the future and may contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract. Further discussion of commitments and contractual obligations is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes 10, 11, 12 and 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also enter into derivative contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from, or pay cash to, counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the contracts changes daily as market interest rates change. Further discussion of derivative contracts is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Assets under management and assets under custody are held in fiduciary or custodial capacity for our clients. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these assets are not included on our balance sheet.
We are also party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2021, average core deposits equaled 78.04% of average total assets, compared to 73.64% in 2020 and 71.48% in 2019. The effective rate of core deposits in 2021 was 0.12%, compared to 0.39% in 2020 and 0.77% in 2019.
Average noninterest bearing core deposits increased 22.96% in 2021 compared to an increase of 30.65% in 2020. These represented 31.20% of total core deposits in 2021, compared to 29.20% in 2020, and 25.11% in 2019.
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit over $250,000, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, over-night borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2021, our reliance on purchased funds decreased to 6.41% of average total assets from 9.76% in 2020.
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated to 11.73% of average total assets in 2021, compared to 12.15% in 2020. Shareholders’ equity was 11.32% of total assets at year-end 2021, compared to 12.12% at year-end 2020. We include unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gains (losses), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized (losses) gains on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, were $(9.86) million and $18.37 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Liquidity — Under Indiana law governing the collateralization of public fund deposits, the Indiana Board of Depositories determines which financial institutions are required to pledge collateral based on the strength of their financial ratings. We have been informed that no collateral is required for our public fund deposits. However, the Board of Depositories could alter this requirement in the future and adversely impact our liquidity. Our potential liquidity exposure if we must pledge collateral is approximately $923 million.
Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank’s liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, overnight investments, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
The Bank’s liquidity strategy is guided by internal policies and the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. Internal guidelines consist of:
(i)Available Liquidity (sum of short term borrowing capacity) greater than $500 million;
(ii)Liquidity Ratio (total of net cash, short term investments and unpledged marketable assets divided by the sum of net deposits and short term liabilities) greater than 15%;
(iii)Dependency Ratio (net potentially volatile liabilities minus short term investments divided by total earning assets minus short term investments) less than 15%; and
(iv)Loans to Deposits Ratio less than 100%
At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the foregoing internal policies and regulatory guidelines.
The Bank also maintains a contingency funding plan that assesses the liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and credit rating downgrades. The plan includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The contingency plan provides for ongoing monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
We have borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. 1st Source Bank has established relationships with several banks to provide short term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchased. At December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings in the federal funds market. We could borrow $245.00 million in additional funds for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. As of December 31, 2021, we had $44.15 million outstanding in FHLB advances and could borrow an additional $510.31 million contingent on the FHLB activity-based stock ownership requirement. We also had no outstandings with the FRB and could borrow $453.93 million as of December 31, 2021.
Interest Rate Risk Management — ALCO monitors and manages the relationship of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset yields, interest expense, and interest margins to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we face ongoing interest rate risks and uncertainties. We may utilize interest rate swaps to partially manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.

A hypothetical change in net interest income was modeled by calculating an immediate 200 basis point (2.00%) and 100 basis point (1.00%) increase and a 100 basis point (1.00%) decrease in interest rates across all maturities. The following table shows the aggregate hypothetical impact to pre-tax net interest income.
| Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Basis Point Interest Rate Change | 12 Months | 24 Months | 12 Months | 24 Months | ||||
| Up 200 | 0.34% | 7.00% | 0.18% | 7.13% | ||||
| Up 100 | (0.51)% | 2.86% | (0.23)% | 3.46% | ||||
| Down 100 | (3.22)% | (8.00)% | (1.21)% | (2.30)% |
The earnings simulation model excludes the earnings dynamics related to how fee income and noninterest expense may be affected by changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. The use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of the balance sheet should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy or the accuracy of the related assumptions.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the impact of these hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative holdings was not significant, and, as such, separate disclosure is not presented. We manage the interest rate risk related to mortgage loan commitments by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans with outside parties. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations — In the ordinary course of operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include customer deposits, the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as operating leases for the rent of premises and equipment. Additionally, we routinely enter into contracts for services that may require payment to be provided in the future and may contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract. Further discussion of commitments and contractual obligations is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes 10, 11, 12 and 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also enter into derivative contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from, or pay cash to, counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the contracts changes daily as market interest rates change. Further discussion of derivative contracts is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Assets under management and assets under custody are held in fiduciary or custodial capacity for our clients. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these assets are not included on our balance sheet.
We are also party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
