MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section presents management’s perspective on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this discussion for further information on forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, that offers a diversified line of banking, factoring, payments, and intelligence services. Our principal subsidiary is TBK Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank and the entity through which we offer substantially all of our products and services. Effective January, 1, 2025, we merged Triumph Financial Services LLC, the entity through which we previously conducted all of our factoring operations, with and into TBK Bank, SSB. As of March 31, 2026, we had consolidated total assets of $6.877 billion, total loans held for investment of $5.189 billion, total deposits of $5.700 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $950.7 million.
We offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and two full-service branches in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Additionally, we offer equipment lending and mortgage warehouse lending on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and our mortgage warehouse lending generates stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.
In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. In 2024, our factoring business also launched its Factoring as a Service ("FaaS") product. As part of our FaaS product, we offer certain back-office factoring services to the over-the-road transportation industry, enabling our FaaS customers to either supplement their own factoring operations or to offer factoring services to their customers wholly supported by our platform. Our factoring business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above.
Our payments business is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. This platform was originally designed to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the network. During 2021, we acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. Our network connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier.

As part of our payments business, we also offer our LoadPay product; a digital bank account developed for Carriers. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business transactional accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers. We also offer supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. In addition, through the network, we provide tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Our payments business also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.
Our data intelligence business, which we call Intelligence, was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc., a company that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Data has the ability to drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With our access to data from our payments network and other sources, we believe we can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability. Our Intelligence business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.
At March 31, 2026, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring business. We have begun to offer data services through our Intelligence offerings. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.
We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Intelligence. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our Banking segment generated 51% of our total segment revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 33% of our total segment revenue, our Payments segment generated 13% of our total segment revenue, and our Intelligence segment generated 3% of our total segment revenue.

This document contains forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:

•inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other estimates;
•risks related to the integration of acquired businesses and any future acquisitions;
•our ability to successfully identify and address the risks associated with our possible future acquisitions, and the risks that our prior and possible future acquisitions make it more difficult for investors to evaluate our business, financial condition and results of operations, and impairs our ability to accurately forecast our future performance;
•lack of liquidity;
•fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale;
•impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets;
•our risk management strategies;

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive.

In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Following such acquisition, our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. Our network connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. As party of our payments business, we also offer our LoadPay product; a digital bank account developed for Carriers. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business transactional accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers. We also offer supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. In addition, through the network, we provide tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Our payments business also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.
Our data intelligence business, which we call Intelligence, was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc., a company that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Data has the ability to drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With our access to data from our payments network and other sources, we believe we can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability. Our Intelligence business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.
At December 31, 2025, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring business. We have begun to offer data services through our Intelligence offerings. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.
We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Intelligence. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Banking segment generated 57% of our total segment revenue, our Factoring segment generated 31% of our total segment revenue, our Payments segment generated 11% of our total segment revenue, and our Intelligence segment generated 1% of our total segment revenue. Total segment revenue is defined as interest and noninterest income.

2025 Items of Note
Triumph Financial Headquarters Update
On December 17, 2025, we sold the building in Dallas, Texas originally purchased in March 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph Financial and will not occupy the building in any capacity. The building was sold for $64.0 million in cash, resulting in a gain on sale of $8.7 million. The gain on sale was allocated to the Corporate and Other category for segment reporting.
Restructuring Activities
In August 2025, we announced a reduction in force involving approximately 5% of our workforce, as well as other cost saving initiatives including non-headcount related reductions in facilities, legacy technology, vendor spend, and travel. These actions are part of our initiatives to re-balance our cost structure in light of technology investments that have delivered significant efficiencies across the organization. These advancements have reduced the need for certain roles and prompted a reorganization of teams and responsibilities to better serve our transportation verticals. We believe these actions will strengthen our competitive position, enhance operational agility, and support sustainable long-term growth.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $3.2 million of expense related to the reduction in force, which consisted primarily of one-time termination charges arising from severance obligations and other customary employee benefit payments made in connection with a reduction in force. These costs were included in salaries and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income and for segment reporting, $0.5 million of the expense was recognized by the Banking segment, $1.1 million was recognized by the Factoring segment, $0.5 million was recognized by the Payments segment, $0.2 million was recognized by the Intelligence segment, and $0.8 million was allocated to the corporate and other category. The Company also recognized $1.3 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the cost saving initiatives, which consisted primarily of one-time contract amendment fees. These costs were included in professional fees in the consolidated statements of income and were allocated to the corporate and other category for segment reporting.

USPS Settlement
At June 30, 2025, we carried a receivable (the “Misdirected Payments Receivable”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to a large carrier. The balance of such Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputed their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We were a party to litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. On June 30, 2025, we reached an agreement with the USPS ("the USPS Settlement") whereby the USPS agreed to pay us $47.5 million to settle the litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims and certain other related proceedings. Such settlement was entered into as part of a global settlement of the disputes related to the Misdirected Payments Receivable, other amounts we asserted were due to us from USPS for other balances owed to us as a result of their failure to honor our notices of assignment, and certain claims of the large carrier involved in this matter against the USPS for underpayment on certain transportation contracts in which we had a security interest. We received the full $47.5 million settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025. The proceeds of the USPS Settlement were applied as follows:
•$11.5 million to the aforementioned large carrier,
•$19.4 million to relieve the entire balance of Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves,
•$1.1 million of interest and fees,
•$7.9 million of legal expense recovery
•$3.8 million to recovery of previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances related to the aforementioned large carrier, and
•$3.8 million to CVLG in accordance with the amended terms of the CVLG transaction.
The USPS Settlement had an $11.5 million positive impact on pretax net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 made up of the prior period impacts of the interest and fees, legal expense recovery, and the recovery of the previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances. The $19.4 million Misdirected Payments Receivable balance was legally discharged upon receipt of the settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025.
Greenscreens.ai
On May 8, 2025, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary TBK Bank, SSB, acquired Greenscreens AI, Inc. ("Greenscreens"), a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights, for $139.0 million in cash and $12.7 million of our common stock.

Macroeconomic Considerations
As a business operating in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. If the U.S. economy weakens, our growth and profitability from our operations, including lending and deposit services, could be constrained.
56
Table of Contents
During 2022 and the early part of 2023, the U.S. experienced decades-high inflation and a rising interest rate environment not seen in several years. Since then, the rate of inflation has slowed; however, the impacts of prior inflation and the looming threat of further inflation, whether caused by monetary policy, tariffs, or other factors, could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. In terms of our borrowers' repayment of loans, we have experienced some of these effects, particularly in our commercial real estate and equipment finance portfolios. This resulted in an increase in the volume of loan modifications, including modifications made to troubled borrowers. At current rates, we believe that our borrowers have incentives to work constructively with us toward viable long-term solutions and our approach is to be both proactive and patient with them in an effort to minimize loan losses. Additionally, while interest rates in the macro economy were relatively flat throughout 2024 and decreased throughout 2025, future increases in such rates to combat inflation could incentivize our depositors to seek higher yielding products, which could result in some deposit run-off, and our ability to retain or grow our deposit base could be hindered by higher market interest rates in the future. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion of the Company's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk. Additionally, increased rates on our borrowers' variable rate loans could lead to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company.
The Company did experience the direct impact of inflation and rising costs in the form of higher salaries, general and administrative costs due to wage inflation and price increases throughout the past three years. While such impact was softer during 2025 and the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of a higher interest rate environment and resumed inflation could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.
We define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, or other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis. During the early part of 2023, the financial services industry faced a liquidity challenge that resulted in the failure of a handful of financial institutions. We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is important, because the holding company and our bank subsidiary have different funding needs and sources, and each is subject to regulatory guidelines and requirements which require minimum levels of liquidity. We believe that our liquidity ratios meet or exceed those guidelines and our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for discussion of our capital resources and liquidity management.
Given the nature of the Company's operations, supply chain disruptions, whether caused by tariffs, natural disasters, or otherwise, do not have a direct impact on the Company; however, such disruptions could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. We did not experience such adverse effects during the year ended December 31, 2025. Supply chain disruptions most prominently impact our trucking transportation and factoring operations discussed in terms of trucking volume in the following section. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact or increased intensity of supply chain disruptions could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.
While economic conditions in foreign countries, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and South America, and tensions in U.S.-China relations, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, we did not experience a financial impact due to such conditions during the year ended December 31, 2025. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of such conflicts, or other global economic events, could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.
Trucking Transportation and Factoring
Over the last few years, including most of 2025, the largest driver of changes in revenue at our Factoring segment, and to a lesser extent, our Payments segment, is fluctuation in the freight markets, particularly in brokered freight, which is priced largely off the spot market (a reflection of real-time balance of carrier supply and shipper demand in the market) and subject to variability in diesel prices. The softness in freight since 2023 has been the result of a combination of falling volumes and excess capacity. In recent quarters, average rates per mile have decreased and returned spot rates to levels last seen in 2019. For the spot rate market, the drop was a little higher than the drop in diesel prices over the same period. Spot rates had fallen below the cost per mile to operate for many carriers. As a result, we have observed a number of small and medium-sized trucking companies either leave the market by signing on with larger carriers or electing to sell their fleets or companies and move on to other endeavors, though the pace of these exits has slowed recently. The confluence of these circumstances has resulted in persistently low invoice prices and decreased prices of new and used equipment. Such invoice prices and prices of new and used equipment remain consistently below the years leading up to 2023. This has put pressure on the revenue of our Factoring segment as well as our equipment finance borrowers, resulting in increased equipment finance delinquencies and loan modifications. Equipment finance losses have been manageable, but continued softness in

the freight markets could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.
Though the transportation factoring industry continues to fight headwinds due to higher cost of capital and lower average invoices, we have sufficient access to capital, manageable funding costs, and an ability to diversify transportation and factoring income. We continue to focus our efforts on technology initiatives to be more efficient, support the enterprise, and enhance our customer experience while delivering various products to strengthen our clients throughout their business lifecycle. Our plan is for managed growth in our factoring segment with a greater emphasis on enhancing efficiency and profitability. These plans may include use of new technology tools, including those that integrate artificial intelligence capabilities.
Climate Change
Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.
There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.
We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation could exist that might be associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that some could deem potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.
While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred any material compliance costs related to climate change.

(1)The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company include the following:
•“Common stockholders’ equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock.
•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity” is defined as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.
•“Total tangible assets” is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.
•“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratio” is defined as the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe the non-GAAP financial measures included above provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures:

Net Interest Income
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, including loans and securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”
The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income and fees earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities:

We earned net interest income of $350.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $350.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.03%, primarily driven by the following factors.
Interest income increased $8.0 million, or 1.9%, due to an increase in total average interest earning assets of $439.9 million, or 8.7%, including an increase in average total loans of $540.2 million, or 12.8%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables increased $145.2 million, or 14.5%, and we also experienced an increase in average Payments factored receivables. Average Banking loans increased $364.2 million, or 12.0%, due to increases in the average balances of construction and development, 1-4 family residential, commercial, consumer, and mortgage warehouse loans, partially offset by decreases in commercial real estate and farmland loans. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $1.087 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $739.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Interest expense increased $7.8 million, or 10.9%, primarily driven by higher average interest-bearing liabilities which increased in total period over period, including average total interest bearing deposits which increased $261.2, or 10.1%. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by decreased rates on our interest bearing liabilities. Average noninterest bearing deposits grew $239.2 million
Net interest margin decreased to 6.39% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 6.95% for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 56 basis points, or 8.1%.
Our net interest margin was impacted by a decrease in yield on our interest earning assets of 53 basis points to 7.85% for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower yields on loans which decreased 60 basis points to 8.27% for the year. Yield on our Banking loans decreased 57 basis points period over period driving much of the decrease in the yield on our overall loan portfolio. Our yield on Factoring and Payments factored receivables also decreased period over period. That said, our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased period over period which had an upward impact on our overall loan yield. Non-loan yields were generally lower period over period.
Rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities did not meaningfully impact our net interest margin as our total average cost of interest bearing liabilities was relatively flat year over year.
Our mortgage warehouse business has nearly self-funded for several quarters due to the servicing deposits of its customers. The average balance of such deposits was $777.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $587.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These deposits are noninterest bearing deposits on our balance sheet. Despite their classification, many of these deposits are not truly free of cost as our clients are compensated for these balances in the form of an earnings interest rebate rather than deposit interest. As a result, such noninterest bearing deposits decrease our loan yield rather than increase our deposit rates. It is important to note that our net interest margin is not affected by this arrangement. During the year ended December 31, 2025, these deposits decreased our overall yield on loans by 57 bps and our overall cost of deposits and cost of funds would have been 54 bps and 51 bps higher, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, these deposits decreased our overall yield on loans by 60 bps and our overall cost of deposits and cost of funds would have been 56 bps and 53 bps higher, respectively.

Credit Loss Expense
Credit loss expense is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowances for credit losses (“ACL”) at an appropriate level under the current expected credit loss model. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Refer to Note 1 of the notes to the financial statements for detailed discussion regarding ACL methodologies for available for sale debt securities, held to maturity securities and loans held for investment.

Regarding available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings via credit loss expense. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that all impaired available for sale securities experienced a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at those respective dates and there was no credit loss expense recognized by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s held to maturity ("HTM") securities consisted of investments in the subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company carried $3.2 million and $5.4 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $1.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2024 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2025. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call.
Our ACL on loans was $36.5 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $40.7 million as of December 31, 2024, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 0.73% and 0.90% respectively.
Our credit loss expense on loans decreased $15.4 million, or 82.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired a $23.4 million nonperforming loan for $3.3 million. The loan was purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") and therefore, a $10.8 million ACL was established on Day 1 resulting in a discount of $9.3 million. In the first half of the year, the Company determined that the $10.8 million ACL was uncollectible and charged off the entire amount. Such charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense as the initial reserve was recorded through purchase accounting. During the fourth quarter of the year, the Company was able to repossess, and in some instances liquidate, a substantial amount of the loan's collateral leading to a recovery and benefit to credit loss expense of $9.5 million. The net charge-off amount related to the acquired PCD loan was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The decrease in credit loss expense was also driven by a decrease in required specific reserves. Such specific reserves decreased $8.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to an increase in specific reserves of $2.4 million during the prior year. Additionally, changes to projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods to calculate expected losses resulted in $0.7 million of credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3.2 million of credit loss expense during the prior year.
The decrease in credit loss expense was also impacted by net charge-off activity. We had net charge-offs that impacted credit loss expense of $7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net charge-offs that impacted credit loss expense of $13.1 million during the prior year. Such net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2025 include the aforementioned $3.8 million recovery resulting from the USPS Settlement as well as the $1.3 million net charge off related to the aforementioned acquired PCD loan.
Further, changes in volume and mix of the loan portfolio resulted in credit loss expense of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a benefit to credit loss expense of $0.1 million during the prior year.
Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.2 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income increased $23.0 million, or 35.2%. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.
•Net gains (losses) on disposal of premises and equipment. Net gains (losses) on disposal of premises and equipment increased $14.9 million, primarily due to the aforementioned $8.7 million gain on sale of the building purchased in 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph as well as a $5.6 million gain on sale of an airplane.
•Fee income. Fee income increased $14.3 million, or 40.4% primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in fee income earned by our Payments segment and a $6.2 million increase in fee income from our Intelligence segment, mostly driven by the acquisition of Greenscreens during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.
•Insurance commissions. Insurance commissions decreased $2.4 million, or 40.2%, due to lower volumes of processed policies and deferred revenue on certain brokered insurance products.
•Other. Other noninterest income decreased $3.3 million, primarily due to a $1.2 million impairment charge on an equity investment obtained through a debt restructuring and a $1.9 million decrease in rental income generated by the property that was sold during the year. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in bank owned life insurance income. Additionally, the Company experienced an unrealized loss on the market value of its revenue share asset of $9 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $1.3 million gain during the same period a year ago.

Noninterest expense increased $26.2 million, or 7.0%. Details of the more significant changes in the various components of noninterest expense are further discussed below.
•Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $14.3 million, or 6.5%. Employee salaries and payroll tax expense increased $11.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Included in employee salaries for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.2 million of severance expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,521.7 and 1,542.1 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Employee benefits expense such as 401(k) matching, employee insurance, and stock based compensation paid to employees increased $1.8 million and commission expense increased $1.5 million. Bonus expense decreased $0.3 million and temporary labor expense decreased $0.3 million period over period.
•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 3.5%, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $0.4 million decrease in maintenance and service fees period over period.
•FDIC Insurance and Other Regulatory Assessments. FDIC insurance and other regulatory assessments increased $1.7 million, or 62.9%, primarily due to increased assessments period over period.
•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, decreased $2.6 million, or 14.5%, primarily due to the recovery of $6.5 million of previously expensed legal fees through the USPS Settlement during the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by $4.0 million of professional fees incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of the Greenscreens acquisition.
•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.0 million, or 16.4%, primarily due to increased advertising efforts.
•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 2.3%, primarily due to decreased IT professional services fees.
•Software amortization. Software amortization expense increased $5.0 million, or 84.8%, primarily due to additional software assets coming on line during late 2024 and early 2025.
•Other. Other noninterest expense includes loan-related expenses, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services. Other noninterest expense increased $9.7 million or 41.8%, primarily due to $3.5 million of litigation settlement expense (unrelated to the USPS Settlement) during the year ended December 31, 2025, $2.4 million of current period lease termination payments related to the building we acquired during March 2024, and an increase of $2.1 million in loan-related expenses period over period.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.
Income tax expense increased $3.3 million, or 74.3%, from $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in income tax expense period over period was commensurate with an increase in our pretax net income and also driven by an increase in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 23% and 21% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was impacted by research and development tax credits and a shortfall from restricted stock vesting and stock option exercises resulting in lower benefits realized during the year. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by an adjustment to our disallowance related to highly compensated individuals as well as a research and development tax credit recognized during the period.
Operating Segment Results
Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence, which have been determined based upon their business processes and economic characteristics. This determination also gave consideration to the structure and management of various product lines. The Banking segment includes the operations of TBK Bank. Our Banking segment derives its revenue principally from investments in interest earning assets as well as noninterest income typical for the banking industry. The Factoring segment derives its revenue from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of TBK Bank's presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a quickpay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers. Our data intelligence segment was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc. that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The revenue for Intelligence offerings is derived through access and subscription fees, as well as seat licenses where applicable. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no individuals allocated specifically to our data intelligence segment and an explicit data intelligence segment did not exist. Therefore, revision of prior period segment operating results is not applicable.
Prior to September 30, 2024, the Company disclosed Corporate as a reportable segment. The Company has determined that what was previously deemed the Corporate reportable segment consists of other business activities that do not represent a reportable segment, but rather, such activities belong in a Corporate and Other category as reported in the tabular disclosure below. It should be noted that such restructuring of the tabular disclosure did not result in any changes to the Company's revenue and expense allocation methodology described below. The Company restructured prior period tabular disclosures to achieve appropriate comparability.
Expenses that are directly attributable to the Company's Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence segments such as, but not limited to, occupancy, salaries and benefits to employees that are fully dedicated to the segment, and certain technology costs that can be attributed to specific users or functional areas within the segment are allocated as such. The Company continues to make considerable investments in shared services that benefit the entire organization and these expenses are allocated to the Corporate and Other category. The Company allocates such expenses to the Corporate and Other category in order for the Company's chief operating decision maker and investors to have clear visibility into the operating performance of each reportable segment.
We allocate intersegment interest expense to the Factoring and Payments segments based on one-month term SOFR for their funding needs. When the Payments segment is self-funded, with customer deposit funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income is allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. Management believes that such intersegment interest allocations appropriately reflect the current interest rate environment and the relatively quick turn of the underlying receivables.
Reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in future changes to previously reported segment financial data. The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents
Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds, payment network fees, and servicing fees. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments as described above. Payment network fees are paid by the Factoring segment to the Payments segment for use of the payments network. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing factoring transactions with freight broker clients transferred from the Factoring segment to the Payments segment to align with the supply chain finance product offerings for this business. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing such product. Beginning prospectively on January 1, 2024, the Factoring and Payments segments began paying fees to the Banking segment for the Banking segment's execution of various banking services that benefit those segments. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to the related segment. Various shared service costs such as human resources, accounting, finance, risk management and information technology expense are assigned to the Corporate and Other category if they are not directly attributable to a segment. Other segment expense consists of various loan and card related expenses and other insignificant miscellaneous costs not specifically reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Our Banking segment’s operating income decreased $7.9 million, or 6.9%.
Interest income decreased $5.3 million, or 2.0%, primarily as a result of decreased yields at our Banking segment in spite of increased average balances of interest earning assets. While average loans in our Banking segment, excluding intersegment loans, increased 12.0% from $3.036 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $3.400 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, this increase was partially offset by decreased yields. Outside of loans, the Banking segment also experienced a decrease in yields on debt securities and interest earning cash and cash equivalents. The average cash and cash equivalents balance decreased period over period as a result of the Greenscreens acquisition during the second quarter of 2025.
Interest expense increased $10.4 million, or 16.6%, primarily due to higher average balances in our Banking interest bearing liabilities. Average total interest bearing deposits increased $261.2 million, or 10.1%. Further, our Banking segment experienced an increased usage of higher-priced brokered time deposits period over period. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by decreased rates on our interest bearing liabilities.

Credit loss expense at our Banking segment is made up of credit loss expense related to loans and credit loss expense related to off balance sheet commitments to lend. Credit loss expense related to loans was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to credit loss expense on loans of $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in credit loss expense was the result of decreased required specific reserves at our Banking segment, a decrease driven by changes to the projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, and a decrease in net charge-offs period over period. Such decreases were partially offset by an increase driven by changes in the volume and mix of our Banking segment's loan portfolio period over period.
Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.3 million from a benefit of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to a benefit of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to changes to outstanding commitments to fund and assumed loss rates period over period.
Noninterest income at our Banking segment decreased period over period due to a $1.2 million impairment charge on an equity investment obtained through a debt restructuring and a $2.4 million decrease in insurance commissions. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in BOLI income at our Banking segment.
As illustrated in the table above, noninterest expense decreased period over period, the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $0.5 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities, and other noninterest expense includes $1.4 million of litigation settlement expense.
Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for our banking products, excluding intercompany loans, has increased $185.1 million, or 5.5%, to $3.525 billion as of December 31, 2025. The following table sets forth our banking loans:

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects a $3.8 million recovery of factoring balances charged off in a prior period. Such recovery impacted the charge-off rate for the year by (0.33%). Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a $3.3 million charge-off of an over-formula advance balance, which contributed approximately 0.32% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off.
(2)Operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used as a supplemental measure to evaluate the performance of our Factoring segment. It provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and enhances investors' overall understanding of the Factoring segment's profitability and operational efficiency. For the year ended December 31, 2025, operating income and factoring total revenue were impacted by $1.2 million of interest and fees resulting from the USPS Settlement and such settlement further impacted operating income by $6.5 million of legal expense accrual reversal and $3.8 million of recovery of factoring balances charged off in a prior period. Operating income was also impacted by a $2.0 million legal settlement that was unrelated to the USPS Settlement. Such items had a 5.80% impact on operating margin, a 0.11% impact on yield on average receivables, and a 0.11% impact on yield on average net funds employed for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $19.8 million, or 69.0%.
Our average invoice size decreased 1.9% from $1,786 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1,752 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease is the result of a broad drop in transportation invoice prices across the industry as well as a change in mix as we add more short-haul fleets to our factoring purchases. The number of invoices purchased increased 15.0% period over period.
Net interest income at our Factoring segment increased $10.8 million, or 10.6%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) increased 18.9% during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in average NFE was the result of increased invoice purchase volume in the face of decreased average invoice sizes. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: Trucking Transportation and Factoring section. We maintained a high concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was 97% at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Net interest income at our Factoring segment was also impacted by a modest decrease in its intersegment interest allocation charge period over period driven by lower intercompany rates consistent with lower rates in the broader macro economy, partially offset by higher average Factoring balances.
Credit loss expense at our Factoring segment is made up of credit loss expense related to factored receivables and loans at our Factoring segment. Credit loss expense related to factored receivables and loans was a $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to credit loss expense of $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in credit loss expense on factored receivables and loans was driven by decreased net charge-offs period over period including the $3.8 million recovery resulting from the USPS settlement. The decrease was also driven by a decrease in required specific reserves. These decreases were partially offset by increases to the ACL driven by changes in volume and mix of the portfolio period over period and changes in loss assumptions period over period.
The decrease in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in early termination fees. Additionally, the Factoring segment experienced an unrealized loss on the market value of its revenue share asset of $9 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $1.3 million gain during the same period a year ago.
Noninterest expense at our Factoring segment decreased period over period the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, professional fees, a component of noninterest expense, at our Factoring segment reflect a $6.5 million recovery of previously expensed legal fees associated with the USPS Settlement. Other noninterest expense at our Factoring segment reflects a $2.0 million expense driven by settlement of litigation unrelated to the USPS Settlement for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $1.1 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities.

(1)Earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin (the ratio of EBITDA to total revenue) are non-GAAP financial measures used to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance.
Our Payments segment's operating loss decreased $9.7 million, or 77.7%.
The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 35.1% from 24,846,449 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 33,562,731 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the amount of payments processed increased 45.8% from $27.784 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $40.517 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We began processing network transactions during the first quarter of 2022. When a fully integrated Payments customer payor receives an invoice from a fully integrated Payments customer payee, we call that a “network transaction.” All network transactions are included in our payment processing volume above. These transactions are facilitated through payments platform APIs with parties on both sides of the transaction using structured data; similar to how a credit card works at a point-of-sale terminal. The integrations largely automate the process and make it cheaper, faster and safer. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we processed 3,872,588 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $6.273 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we processed 2,551,863 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $4.154 billion.
Net interest income increased due to increased average balance of interest earning assets at our Payments segment and increased intersegment interest allocation period over period. Average rates at our Payments segment were little changed period over period.
78
Table of Contents
Noninterest income increased primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in payment processing and audit fees earned from our payments and audit business during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest income at our Payments segment period over period.
Noninterest expense increased at our Payments segment, the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $0.5 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities.
The acquisition of HubTran during 2021 allowed us to create a fully integrated payments network for trucking; servicing brokers and factors. Our payments platform already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, we created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for third party logistics companies (i.e., freight brokers) and their carriers, and factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of our payments and audit business as our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment.

Table of Contents
Our Intelligence segment's operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $14.5 million. As previously disclosed, prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, the data intelligence line of business did not exist. Therefore, discussion of changes regarding full-year 2025 and 2024 results is not comparable or meaningful. As illustrated in the table above, to date, the majority of the expenses related to our Intelligence segment are salaries and benefits expense, professional fees, amortization of intangible assets, and communications and technology expense. A majority of the professional fees recognized at our Intelligence segment during the year ended December 31, 2025 relate to our acquisition of Greenscreens.
Gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used as supplemental measure to evaluate the performance of our Intelligence segment. Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of salaries and benefits and communications and technology costs for employees providing services to the Company's customers. This includes the costs of the Company's personnel performing integration, customer support, third-party data center and customer training activities. Cost of revenues also includes the direct costs of third party hosting services. We have elected to exclude amortization expense of capitalized developed software and acquired technology as well as allocations of fixed asset depreciation expense and occupancy expenses from cost of revenues. Due to the timing of the Greenscreens acquisition in May 2025, gross margin is not meaningful for the full years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Corporate and other is not a reportable segment, but rather includes certain revenue and expense from the Company's holding company as well as activities not allocated to specific business segments. Corporate and other reported an operating loss of $104.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to an operating loss of $108.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
The decreased operating loss was primarily driven by the aforementioned $8.7 million gain on sale of the building purchased in 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph as well as a $5.6 million gain on sale of an airplane. These gains were partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in salaries and benefits expense and a $3.8 million increase in professional fees. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense and professional fees included $0.8 million and $1.3 million of expense resulting from our restructuring activities, respectively. Further, Corporate experienced a $2.4 million increase in other noninterest expense driven by $2.4 million of current period lease termination payments related to the building we acquired during March 2024. Additionally, Corporate experienced a $2.6 million decrease in interest expense period over period as a result of decreased average borrowings.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans decreased $47.3 million, or 6.1%, due to paydowns that outpaced new origination activity. A significant portion of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2025 consisted of commercial real estate loans secured by properties. Such loans can involve high principal loan amounts, and the repayment of these loans is dependent, in large part, on a borrower's ongoing business operations or on income generated from the properties. The table below sets forth the Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio, by portfolio industry sector and collateral location as of December 31, 2025.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $20.4 million, or 10.0%, due to origination and draw activity that outpaced paydowns and conversions to term loans.
Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans increased $39.5 million, or 25.6%, due to new loan activity that outpaced paydowns.
Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $12.9 million, or 22.9%, due to paydowns that outpaced modest origination activity.
Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment increased $44.4 million, or 4.0%, due to increases in equipment lending and other commercial lending balances. The increase was partially offset by decreases in asset based lending, liquid credit, and agriculture lending balances. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, increased $29.0 million, or 10.1%.

Factored Receivables. Our factored receivables increased $258.4 million, or 21.5%. See discussion of our factoring subsidiary in the Operating Segment Results for analysis of the key drivers impacting the change in the ending factored receivables balance during the period.
Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans increased $8.8 million, or 110.2%, due to new loan activity that outpaced paydowns.
Mortgage Warehouse. Our mortgage warehouse facilities increased $133.0 million, or 13.0%, due to seasonal changes in utilization. Client utilization of mortgage warehouse facilities may experience significant fluctuation on a day-to-day basis given mortgage origination market conditions. Our average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $1.087 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $739.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (20%), Illinois (10%), Colorado (10%), and Iowa (4%) make up 44% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is affected by changes in the economies in these states. At December 31, 2024, the states of Texas (22%), Colorado (10%), Illinois (12%) and Iowa (4%) made up 48% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.
Further, a majority (97%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 29% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future income with respect to our factoring operations to be correlated with demand for the transportation industry in the United States generally, and small-to-mid-sized operators in such industry specifically, we feel the credit risk with respect to our outstanding portfolio is appropriately mitigated as we limit the amount of receivables acquired from individual debtors and creditors thereby achieving diversification across a number of companies and industries. At December 31, 2024, 97% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 26% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

Nonperforming Assets
We have established procedures to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. In addition, we have adopted underwriting guidelines to be followed by our lending officers and require senior management review of proposed extensions of credit exceeding certain thresholds. When delinquencies exist, we monitor them for any negative or adverse trends. Our loan review procedures include approval of lending policies and underwriting guidelines by the board of directors of our bank subsidiary, independent loan review, approval of large credit relationships by our bank subsidiary’s Management Loan Committee and loan quality documentation procedures. We, like other financial institutions, are subject to the risk that our loan portfolio will be subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.
To manage the credit risks associated with its loan portfolio, management may, depending on current or anticipated economic conditions and related exposures, apply enhanced risk management measures to loans through analysis of a specific borrower's financial condition, including cash flow, collateral values, and guarantees, among other credit factors. In response to the current market dynamics, including economic uncertainties in market interest rates since 2022, the Company has enhanced its stress testing to mitigate interest rate reset risk with a specific emphasis on borrowers’ abilities to absorb the impact of higher interest loan rates.
The following table sets forth the allocation of our nonperforming assets among our different asset categories as of the dates indicated. We classify nonperforming assets as nonaccrual loans and securities, factored receivables greater than 90 days past due, OREO, and other repossessed assets. The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts.

Nonperforming loans decreased $55.8 million, or 49.2%, due to a $7.5 million payoff of a nonperforming multifamily relationship, a combined $42.1 million decrease in five large nonperforming equipment finance relationships, a combined $13.6 million decrease in three large nonperforming liquid credit relationships, the sale of a $2.5 million nonperforming construction relationship, a $2.0 million decrease in a nonperforming other commercial lending relationship, a $1.5 million payoff of a nonperforming farmland relationship, and a $21.9 million decrease in nonperforming factored receivables. The decrease in nonperforming factored receivables includes the reduction of the $19.4 million Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of a nonperforming asset based lending relationship of $22.5 million discussed further in Item 1. Legal Proceedings of Part II of this document, a $4.8 million increase driven by the addition of three large nonperforming equipment finance relationships, and a $6.6 million increase driven by the addition of two large nonperforming commercial real estate relationships.

The largest portion of nonperforming commercial loans at December 31, 2024 consisted of $54.2 million of nonperforming equipment loans; however the balance of nonperforming equipment loans had decreased to $18.3 million at December 31, 2025. While nonperforming commercial real estate increased year over year the total outstanding balance of such loans is below $10.0 million at December 31, 2025, and our historical credit losses in this line of lending have been low.
As a result of the activity previously described and the change in period end total loans period over period, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 1.15% at December 31, 2025 from 2.49% at December 31, 2024.
Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 1.10% at December 31, 2025 from 2.02% at December 31, 2024. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity and changes in our period end total assets as well as a decrease in equity investments we consider to be nonperforming. Additionally, our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual which decreased $2.2 million during the year. These decreases were partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in other real estate owned mostly related to a $9.5 million commercial property taken to OREO during the year as part of the collateral recovery related to the large acquired PCD loan.
Past due loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 2.72% at December 31, 2025 from 3.27% at December 31, 2024 as a result of a $13.0 million decrease in total past due loans including a $23.9 million decrease in past due commercial loans, a $20.2 million decrease in past due factored receivables, and a $2.4 million decrease in past due construction, land development, and land loans. These decreases were partially offset by a $33.3 million increase in past due commercial real estate loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. When the Company deems all or a portion of a loan to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for discussion of our ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in the Company’s judgment, should be charged-off.
Loan loss valuation allowances are recorded on specific at-risk balances, typically consisting of collateral dependent loans and factored invoices greater than 90 days past due with negative cash reserves.

The ACL decreased $4.2 million, or 10.3%. This decrease reflects net charge-offs of $18.2 million and credit loss expense of $3.2 million. It should be noted that the $10.8 million ACL on the acquired PCD loan was booked as part of the loan purchase with no impact on credit loss expense. Therefore, the corresponding $10.8 million charge-off also had no impact on credit loss expense.
A driver of the change in ACL is change in the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. Such change had a negative impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in an increase of $0.7 million of ACL period over period.

Table of Contents
The Company uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to estimate ACL for the commercial real estate, construction, land development, land, 1-4 family residential, commercial (excluding liquid credit), and consumer loan pools. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as a loss driver. The Company also utilizes and forecasts either one-year percentage change in national retail sales (commercial real estate – non multifamily, commercial general, commercial agriculture, commercial asset-based lending, commercial equipment finance, consumer), one-year percentage change in the national home price index (1-4 family residential and construction, land development, land), or one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product (commercial real estate – multifamily) as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlates to expected future losses. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. The Company also forecasts prepayment speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the future interest rate environment. The impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.
For all DCF models at December 31, 2025, the Company has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. The Company leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by the Company when developing the forecast metrics. At December, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024, the Company forecasted a modest increase in national unemployment and modest degradation in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, one-year percentage change in national home price index, and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2025 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected small increases in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a breakeven level in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected very low growth for the first two projected quarters with low levels of contraction for the final two projected quarters. At December 31, 2025, the Company used its historical prepayment speeds with minimal adjustment.
The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, factored receivables, and mortgage warehouse loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. Loss factors used to calculate the required ACL on pools that use the loss-rate method reflect the forecasted economic conditions described above.

Net loans charged off increased $5.1 million, or 38.9%. Net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the $10.8 million charge off on the acquired PCD loan that had no impact on earnings and the $9.5 million recovery on that loan that resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense during the year. The net charge-off amount related to the acquired PCD loan was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such net charge-offs also reflect the $3.8 million factoring recovery resulting from the USPS settlement, a $6.8 million partial charge-off of a liquid credit relationship, a $4.0 million partial charge-off of a separate liquid credit relationship, a $2.4 million charge-off of a factoring relationship, and a $2.1 million partial charge-off of an equipment lending relationship. There were no individually significant charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that all impaired available for sale securities experienced a decline in fair value below their amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at December 31, 2025. Our available for sale securities can be used for pledging to secure FHLB borrowings and public deposits, or can be sold to meet liquidity needs.
As of December 31, 2025, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $1.9 million at December 31, 2024. See previous discussion of Credit Loss Expense related to our held to maturity securities for further details regarding the nature of these securities and the required ACL at December 31, 2025.

Our total deposits increased $129.4 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to an increase in brokered time deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, and savings deposits. The Company experienced decreases in all other material deposit categories. Other brokered deposits are non-maturity deposits obtained from wholesale sources. As of December 31, 2025, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 81% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 19% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2024, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 84% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 16% of total deposits. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits were $1.466 billion and $1.488 billion, respectively.

Our FHLB advances are collateralized by assets, including a blanket pledge of certain loans. Of the FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2025, $250.0 million were short-term borrowings maturing within one year and $30.0 million were long term borrowings maturing after one but within two years. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $644.7 million and $819.1 million, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The decrease in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of increased borrowing amounts outstanding at the end of 2025.

Subordinated Notes
On November 27, 2019, the Company issued $39.5 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes initially incurred interest at 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, November 27, 2024. The 2019 Notes were redeemed on November 27, 2024 at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
On August 26, 2021, the Company issued $70.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes initially bear interest at 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 1, 2026, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, initially three-month SOFR, as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 2.860%. The Company may, at its option, beginning on September 1, 2026 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the $69.9 million and $69.7 million carrying value of these obligations at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. At the beginning of each of the last five years of the life of the Subordinated Notes, the amount eligible to be included in Tier 2 regulatory capital will be reduced by 20%.
Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.
The Subordinated Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to the Company’s subsidiaries’ existing and future indebtedness and other obligations.

These debentures are unsecured obligations and were issued to trusts that are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The trusts in turn issued trust preferred securities with identical payment terms to unrelated investors. The debentures may be called by the Company at par plus any accrued but unpaid interest; however, we have no current plans to redeem them prior to maturity. Interest on the debentures is calculated quarterly, based on a rate equal to three month SOFR plus a weighted average spread of 2.41%. As part of the purchase accounting adjustments made with the National Bancshares, Inc. acquisition on October 15, 2013, the ColoEast acquisition on August 1, 2016, and the Valley acquisition on December 9, 2017, we adjusted the carrying value of the junior subordinated debentures to fair value as of the respective acquisition dates. The discount on the debentures will continue to be amortized through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.
The debentures are included on our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, these obligations are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital, subject to certain limitations. All of the carrying value of $43.0 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
Our stockholders’ equity totaled $941.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $890.9 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $50.9 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to our net income, stock based compensation expense, common stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Greenscreens, and the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.
Liquidity Management
We define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, or other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis.
We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is critical, because the holding company and our bank subsidiary have different funding needs and sources, and each is subject to regulatory guidelines and requirements which require minimum levels of liquidity. We believe that our liquidity ratios meet or exceed those guidelines and our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.
As part of our liquidity management process, we regularly stress test our balance sheet to ensure that we are continually able to withstand unexpected liquidity shocks such as sudden or protracted material deposit runoff. This analysis explicitly contemplates the immediate runoff of any meaningful deposit concentrations such as the servicing deposits that we hold on behalf of our mortgage warehouse customers.
Our liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, receipt of pre-paid and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing and increases in customer deposits. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to other sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-earning deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Other sources of funds include the sale of loans, brokered deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances or borrowings from the Federal Reserve, the issuance of debt securities and the issuance of common securities. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provided in our consolidated financial statements.
In addition to the liquidity provided by the sources described above, our subsidiary bank maintains correspondent relationships with other banks in order to sell loans or purchase overnight funds should additional liquidity be needed. As of December 31, 2025, TBK Bank had $600.4 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, we had $644.7 million in unused and available advances from the FHLB. We routinely utilize FHLB advances to support the fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable balances in our mortgage warehouse lending portfolio, and we will continue to do so.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2025. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflect principal amounts only and exclude the amount of interest we are obligated to pay. Also excluded from the table are a number of obligations to be settled in cash. These excluded items are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet and include deposits with no stated maturity, trade payables, and accrued interest payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Note 14 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Our capital management consists of providing equity to support our current and future operations. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s or TBK Bank’s financial statements. For further information regarding our regulatory capital requirements, see Note 17 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Certain of our accounting estimates are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses on loans includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through credit loss expense charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.
Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss rate, or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.
For purposes of establishing the general reserve, we stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and calculate the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. The Company’s methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to estimate ACL for the commercial real estate, construction, land development, land, 1-4 family residential, commercial (excluding liquid credit), and consumer loan pools. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as a loss driver. The Company also utilizes and forecasts either one-year percentage change in national retail sales (commercial real estate – non multifamily, commercial general, commercial agriculture, commercial asset-based lending, commercial equipment finance, consumer), one-year percentage change in the national home price index (1-4 family residential and construction, land development, land), or one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product (commercial real estate – multifamily) as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlates to expected future losses. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.
For all DCF models at December 31, 2025, the Company has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. The Company leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by the Company when developing the forecast metrics. At December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024, the Company forecasted a modest increase in national unemployment and modest degradation in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, one-year percentage change in national home price index, and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2025 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected small increases in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a breakeven level in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected very low growth for the first two projected quarters with low levels of contraction for the final two projected quarters. At December 31, 2025, the Company used its historical prepayment speeds with minimal adjustment.
The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, factored receivables, and mortgage warehouse loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. Loss factors used to calculate the required ACL on pools that use the loss-rate method reflect the forecasted economic conditions described above.
Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.
The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.
Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.
