These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report. The Corporation expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly release any updates or revisions to reflect any change in the Corporation’s expectations with regard to any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, unless otherwise required by law. Critical Accounting Policies In order to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Corporation’s financial statements. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies could materially affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation should changes in circumstances require a change in related estimates or assumptions. The Corporation has identified the fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as critical accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies, please refer to the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. General The Corporation is a Pennsylvania corporation, organized in 1973, and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Corporation owns all of the capital stock of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and is the sole member of 1876 Double Eagle, LLC. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and 1876 Double Eagle, LLC. The Bank is engaged in domestic banking services for individuals, businesses, municipalities and non-profit organizations. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank provides a variety of financial services throughout its markets of operation. The Bank is the parent company of Girard Investment Services, LLC, a full-service registered introducing broker-dealer and a licensed insurance agency, Girard Advisory Services, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm, and Girard Pension Services, LLC, a registered investment advisor, which provides investment consulting and management services to municipal entities. The Bank is also the parent company of Univest Insurance, LLC, an independent insurance agency, and Univest Capital, Inc., an equipment financing business. The Corporation earns revenues primarily from the margins and fees generated from lending and depository services as well as fee-based income from trust, insurance, mortgage banking, treasury management and investment services. The Corporation seeks to achieve adequate and reliable earnings through business growth while maintaining adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting exposure to credit and interest rate risk. 41 Table of Contents Executive Overview The Corporation’s consolidated net income, earnings per share and return on average assets and average equity were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, Change (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2026 2025 Amount Percent Net income $ 27,092 $ 22,395 $ 4,697 21.0 % Net income per share: Basic $ 0.97 $ 0.77 $ 0.20 26.0 Diluted 0.96 0.77 0.19 24.7 Return on average assets 1.33 % 1.14 % 19 BP 16.7 Return on average equity 11.57 % 10.13 % 144 BP 14.2 The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included tax-free bank owned life insurance (BOLI) death benefit proceeds of $372 thousand, which represented $0.01 diluted earnings per share. In addition, the financial results for the quarter included a $427 thousand restructuring charge ($337 thousand after-tax), or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, related to the planned closure of two underutilized facilities: a financial center and a limited purpose banking office. The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included tax-free BOLI death benefit proceeds of $1.0 million, which represented $0.04 diluted earnings per share. Results of Operations Net Interest Income Net interest income is the difference between interest earned primarily on loans, leases and investment securities and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and subordinated notes. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation’s revenue. Table 1 presents the Corporation’s average balances, tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense, tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, cost of average liabilities, and shareholders' equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The tax-equivalent net interest spread represents the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets less the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of net interest-free funding sources represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components. Three months ended March 31, 2026 versus 2025 Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $63.8 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 11.7%, compared to $57.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year was driven by higher average balances of loans and cash and cash equivalents, as well as a reduction in our cost of funds offset by higher average balances of inte [Excerpt truncated for page length; source filing is linked above.]

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion below outlines the Corporation's critical accounting policies. For further information regarding accounting policies, refer to Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
In order to prepare the Corporation's financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Corporation's financial statements. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies could materially affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation should changes in circumstances require a change in related estimates or assumptions. The Corporation has identified the fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as critical accounting policies.
Fair Value Measurement of Investment Securities Available-for-Sale: The Corporation designates its investment securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Each of these designations affords different treatment on the balance sheet and statement of income for market value changes affecting securities. Should evidence emerge that indicates that management's intent or ability to manage the securities as originally asserted is not supportable, securities with the held-to-maturity or available-for-sale designations may be re-categorized, which may result in adjustments to either the balance sheet or statement of income.
Fair values for securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The independent pricing service utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flows and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service's evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. If at any time, the pricing service determines that it does not have sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security, the Corporation will utilize valuations from another pricing service. Management has a sufficient understanding of the third-party service's valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of securities to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loan and Leases: The Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") on loans and leases uses techniques that estimate losses on pools of loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics and specifically identify losses on individual loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with others. The adequacy of these allowances is sensitive to changes in current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to make contractual payments as well as the value of the collateral securing such payments. Management utilizes a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows for pools of loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics and compares the results of this calculation to the amortized cost basis to determine its allowance for credit loss balance. The key assumptions used in the model are (1) probability of default, (2) loss given default, (3) prepayment and curtailment rates, (4) recovery delay (5) reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, (6) forecast reversion period, (7) expected recoveries on charged-off loans, and (8) discount rate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to establish the ACL, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary and the Corporation’s results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. While management believes it has established the ACL in conformity with U.S. GAAP, our regulators, in reviewing the loan portfolio, may request us to increase our ACL based on judgments different from ours. In addition, because future events affecting
30
Table of Contents
borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted without uncertainty, the existing ACL may not be adequate or increases may be necessary should the quality of any loans or leases deteriorate or if there are changes to the assumptions noted above. Any material increase in the ACL would adversely affect the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned primarily on loans, leases and investment securities and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and subordinated notes. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation's revenue. Table 1 presents the Corporation's average balances, tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense, tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, cost of average liabilities, and shareholders' equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The tax-equivalent net interest spread represents the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets less the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of net interest-free funding sources represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components.
2025 versus 2024
Reported net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $240.2 million, an increase of $29.0 million, or 13.7%, from the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $241.9 million, an increase of $29.5 million, or 13.9%, from the prior year. An increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $18.6 million was driven by increased loan yields, and increases in the average balance of average interest-earning assets, as well as a decrease of $10.9 million in interest expense, which was largely driven by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in the average balance of borrowings. This was offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 3.14% compared to 2.86% for 2024.

Table of Contents
2024 versus 2023
Reported net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $211.2 million, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 4.0%, from the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $212.3 million, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 4.0%, from the prior year. An increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $40.6 million, driven by increases in asset yields, including loan and investment yields, and increases in the average balance of average interest-earning assets was outpaced by an increase in interest expense of $49.5 million, which was largely driven by an increase in the cost of, and the average balances of, interest-bearing deposits. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 2.86% compared to 3.12% for 2023. The net interest margin decrease was attributable to the increase in interest rates and the liability sensitivity of the Corporation's balance sheet.

Tax Provision
The provision for income taxes was $22.6 million, $19.4 million and $17.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, at effective rates of 19.9%, 20.3% and 19.8%, respectively.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to the favorable impact from the proceeds of BOLI death benefits. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to increases in state tax rates and the impact of stock-based compensation during the year.

Cash and Interest-Earning Deposits
Cash and interest-earning deposits increased $224.9 million, or 68.4%, from December 31, 2024, primarily due to increased interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $231.7 million due to increases in deposits outpacing loan growth, partially offset by the repayment of subordinated notes and long-term debt.

Purchases of $60.3 million, which were primarily residential mortgage-backed securities, increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $17.2 million and a reversal of provision for credit losses of $828 thousand were partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of $68.1 million, sales of $6.9 million and net amortization of purchased premiums and discounts of $1.0 million.

Table 4—Investment Securities (Yields)
The following table shows the maturity distribution and weighted average yields of investment securities at amortized cost at December 31, 2025. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because debt issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties. Therefore, the stated yield may not be recognized in future periods. Additionally, residential mortgage-backed securities, which are collateralized by residential mortgage loans, typically prepay at a rate faster than the stated maturity. The weighted average yield is calculated by dividing income, which has not been tax effected on tax-exempt obligations, within each contractual maturity range by the outstanding amount of the related investment. Held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios are combined, net of allowance for credit losses.

Asset Quality
The Bank's strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans and leases. Performance of the loan and lease portfolio is monitored on a regular basis by Bank management and lending officers.
Nonaccrual loans and leases are loans or leases for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collectible in accordance with the original contractual terms. Factors considered by management in determining accrual status include payment status, borrower cash flows, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
At December 31, 2025, nonaccrual loans and leases were $13.7 million and had a related allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $3.0 million. At December 31, 2024, nonaccrual loans and leases were $12.7 million and had a related allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $1.9 million. During the second quarter of 2025, a $23.7 million commercial loan relationship was placed on nonaccrual status due to, among other things, suspected fraud. Subsequent to the relationship being placed on nonaccrual status, a $7.3 million charge-off was recognized during the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2025, a $1.4 million residential property associated with this relationship was transferred to other real estate owned. During the fourth quarter, loans totaling $13.9 million associated with this relationship were paid off and a $449 thousand recovery was recognized. As of December 31, 2025, the $1.4 million residential property remains in other real estate owned and the carrying value of the asset is supported by the appraised value of real estate collateral. Individual reserves have been established based on current facts and management's judgments about the ultimate outcome of these credits, including the most recent known data available on any related underlying collateral and the borrower's cash flows. The amount of individual reserve needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes in facts and judgments related to these credits.

Borrowings
Total borrowings decreased $62.2 million from December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $100.0 million redemption of previously issued subordinated notes partially offset by $50.0 million aggregate principal amount fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes issued in the third quarter of 2025, and pay-downs of $25.0 million in long-term debt. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $13.2 million in customer repurchase agreements.
Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2025 consisted of $24.4 million of customer repurchase agreements. Long-term debt at December 31, 2025 consisted of $200.0 million of FHLB advances and $98.9 million of subordinated notes. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had outstanding short-term letters of credit with the FHLB totaling $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, which were utilized to collateralize public fund deposits and other secured deposits.
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities decreased $10.5 million, or 16.1%, from December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in accrued interest payable on time deposits.

The increase in shareholders' equity at December 31, 2025 of $56.0 million from December 31, 2024 was primarily related to an increase in retained earnings of $65.4 million. Retained earnings was impacted by net income of $90.8 million, partially offset by $25.0 million in cash dividends paid during the year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $18.5 million, which was primarily attributable to increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $13.6 million, net of tax, and an increase in unrecognized actuarial losses related to the Corporation's pension plan of $3.9 million, net of tax. Treasury stock increased $29.1 million from December 31, 2024, related to repurchases of 1,129,217 shares at a cost of $34.6 million, offset by $5.5 million of stock issued under the dividend reinvestment plan and employee stock purchase plan, and stock-based incentive plan activity.
Discussion of Segments
The Corporation has three operating segments: Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance. Detailed segment information appears in Note 23, "Segment Reporting" included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Banking segment reported pre-tax income of $115.6 million in 2025, $96.1 million in 2024 and $90.3 million in 2023. See the section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis under the heading "Results of Operations" and "Financial Condition" for a discussion of the key items impacting the Banking Segment.
The Wealth Management segment reported pre-tax income of $8.3 million in 2025, $6.1 million in 2024 and $5.0 million in 2023, which included noninterest income of $31.9 million in 2025, $29.9 million in 2024 and $26.8 million in 2023. Noninterest expense was $23.7 million in 2025, $23.9 million in 2024 and $21.8 million in 2023. The increases in noninterest income from 2024 and 2023 were primarily due to new customer relationships and appreciation of assets under management and supervision. Noninterest expense in 2025 compared to 2024 was relatively unchanged, while the increase in noninterest expense from 2023 to 2024 was primarily due to increases in salaries and commissions. Wealth Management assets under management and supervision were $5.9 billion as of December 31, 2025, $5.2 billion as of December 31, 2024 and $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
The Insurance segment reported pre-tax income of $5.5 million in 2025, $5.7 million in 2024 and $5.1 million in 2023, which included noninterest income of $22.5 million in 2025 and 2024 and $21.5 million in 2023. Noninterest expense was $16.9 million in 2025, $16.7 million in 2024 and $16.4 million in 2023. Noninterest income in 2025 compared to 2024 was relatively unchanged, reflecting an increase in revenue from commercial lines of $672 thousand being offset by a decrease in contingent commission income of $691 thousand. The increases in noninterest expense were primarily due to increases in salaries and commissions.
Capital Adequacy
Capital guidelines assign minimum capital requirements for categories of assets depending on their assigned risks. The components of risk-based capital for the Corporation are Tier 1 and Tier 2.
At December 31, 2025, the Corporation had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.22% and total risk-based capital ratio of 13.86%. At December 31, 2024, the Corporation had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.85% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.19%. The Corporation continues to be in the "well-capitalized" category under regulatory standards. Details on the capital ratios can be found in Note 21, "Regulatory Matters," included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K along with a discussion on dividend and other restrictions.
Asset/Liability Management
The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to minimize interest rate risk and to ensure adequate earnings, capital and liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management's objective with regard to interest rate risk is to understand the Corporation's sensitivity to changes in interest rates and develop and implement strategies to minimize volatility while maximizing net interest income.
The Corporation uses gap analysis and earnings at risk simulation modeling to quantify exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses the gap analysis to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a risk simulation model to measure short-term rate exposure. The Corporation runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the impact of declining or rising interest rates on net interest income over a one-year and two-year horizon. The simulations use expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments at a point in time and incorporate company-developed, market-based assumptions regarding growth, pricing, and optionality such as prepayment speeds. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate assets tend to decrease in value; conversely, as interest rates decline, fixed-rate assets tend to increase in value.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Corporation's assets and liabilities. Minimizing the balance sheet's maturity and repricing risk is a continual focus. The Corporation uses a variety of techniques to assist in identifying and evaluating the potential range of risk, including a maturity/repricing gap analysis as well as an Earnings at Risk analysis under various interest rate scenarios.
The gap analysis identifies repricing gaps in the Corporation’s balance sheet. All assets and liabilities are modeled to reflect some level of behavioral optionality, such as prepayments on loans, early call features on investments or potential pricing change and/or product change to interest-bearing deposits. The Corporation projects all noninterest-bearing deposits to be considered non-rate sensitive, while utilizing an all-encompassing deposit beta assumption that captures changes in interest expense that may occur as interest rates change or balances shift into other products. These assumptions are based upon historic behavior; however, they are inherently uncertain and thus cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates. While actual results will differ from simulated results due to customer behavioral change and/or market and regulatory influences, the following models are important tools to guide management.

The table above indicates that the Corporation holds a greater amount of liabilities that have the opportunity to reprice over assets in the next twelve months. This table is limited as it does not take into consideration the magnitude of the repricing change in relation to interest rate changes. Further, the estimated sensitivities are based upon a number of assumptions, including the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes, prepayments on loans receivable and securities, pricing strategies on loans receivable and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are bank specific and based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Table 12—Net Interest Income - Summary of Earnings at Risk Simulation
Management also performs a simulation of net interest income to measure interest rate exposure. The following table demonstrates the anticipated impact of an instantaneous and parallel interest rate shift, or "shock," to the yield curve on the Corporation's net interest income over the next twelve months. This simulation incorporates the same assumptions noted above and assumes a static balance sheet with no incremental growth in interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities over the next twelve months.

The changes to net interest income are shown in the below table at December 31, 2025. The results suggest the Corporation's year-end balance sheet is asset sensitive as net interest income is projected to increase in a rising rate environment. Actual results will likely be different than modeled due to numerous factors, including interest rates earned on new loans and investments as well as rates paid on new and existing deposits and new borrowings. The changes to net interest income shown below are in compliance with the Corporation's policy guidelines.

Credit Risk
Originating loans exposes the Corporation to credit risk, which is the risk that the principal balance of a loan and any related interest will not be collected due to the inability of the borrower to repay the loan. The Corporation manages credit risk in the loan portfolio through adherence to consistent and conservative underwriting standards and policies established by the senior credit leadership and approved by the Board of Directors. Written loan policies establish underwriting standards, lending limits and other standards or limits as deemed necessary and prudent. While the Corporation has strict underwriting, review, and monitoring procedures in place, they cannot eliminate all of the risks related to these lending activities.
The Corporation's loan review department conducts ongoing, independent reviews of the lending process to ensure adherence to established policies and procedures, monitors compliance with applicable laws and regulations and provides objective measurement of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.
The Corporation focuses on both assessing the borrower's capacity and willingness to repay and obtaining sufficient collateral. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are generally secured by the borrower's assets and by personal guarantees. Commercial real estate, construction and residential real estate secured for business purposes loans are originated primarily within the Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey market areas at prudent loan-to-value ratios and are often additionally supported by guaranties. Management closely monitors the composition and quality of the total commercial loan portfolio to ensure that any credit concentrations by borrower or industry are identified and managed. See "Risk Factors" included herein under Item 1A for additional information on lending risk related to commercial loans.
The Corporation originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans that are secured by the underlying 1- to 4-family residential properties for personal purposes. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is minimized by the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower, including debt-to-income ratios, credit scores and adherence to underwriting policies that emphasize conservative loan-to-value ratios of generally no more than 80%. Residential mortgage loans granted in excess of the 80% loan-to-value ratio are generally insured by private mortgage insurance.
Credit risk in the consumer loan portfolio is controlled by strict adherence to underwriting standards that consider debt-to-income levels and the creditworthiness of the borrower and, if secured, collateral values. In the home equity loan portfolio, combined loan-to-value ratios are generally limited to 80%, but may be increased to 85% for the Corporation's strongest profile borrowers. Other credit considerations and compensating factors may warrant higher combined loan-to-value ratios. These loans are included within the portfolio of loans to individuals.
The primary risks that are involved with lease financing receivables are credit underwriting and borrower industry concentrations. The Corporation has strict underwriting, review, and monitoring procedures in place to mitigate these risks.

Risk also lies in the residual value of the underlying equipment. Residual values are subject to judgments as to the value of the underlying equipment that can be affected by changes in economic and market conditions and the financial viability of the residual guarantors and insurers. To the extent not guaranteed or assumed by a third party, or otherwise insured against, the Corporation bears the risk of ownership of the leased assets. This includes the risk that the actual value of the leased assets at the end of the lease term will be less than the residual value. The Corporation greatly reduces this risk primarily by using $1.00 buyout leases and equipment finance agreements, in which the entire cost of the leased equipment is included in the contractual payments, leaving no residual payment at the end of the lease term for the majority of the lease portfolio.
The Corporation closely monitors delinquencies as another means of maintaining asset quality. Collection efforts begin after a loan payment is missed, by attempting to contact borrowers. If collection attempts fail, the Corporation will proceed to gain control of collateral in a timely manner to minimize losses. While liquidation and recovery efforts continue, officers continue to work with the borrowers, if appropriate, to recover monies owed to the Corporation.
Liquidity
The Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation's ability to ensure that sufficient cash flows and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for loans, deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings, certificates of deposit at maturity, operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Corporation manages liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring liquidity sources and estimated funding needs on a daily basis. The Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial crisis.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain ample ability to meet the liquidity needs of its customers. Our most liquid assets, unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, were $549.2 million and $327.8 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unencumbered securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $37.3 million and $55.4 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Further, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had committed borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and a correspondent bank of $3.8 billion and $3.7 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion was available as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also maintained uncommitted funding sources from correspondent banks of $457.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $468.0 million at December 31, 2024. Future availability under these uncommitted funding sources is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.
Sources of Funds
Non-brokered deposits continue to be the largest significant funding source for the Corporation. These deposits are primarily generated from individuals, businesses, public funds and non-profit customers located in our primary service areas. The Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, credit unions, savings institutions, mutual funds, security dealers and others.
As part of its diversified funding strategy, the Corporation also utilizes a mix of short-term and long-term wholesale funding providers. Wholesale funding includes federal funds purchases from correspondent banks, secured borrowing lines from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and brokered deposits and other similar sources.
Cash Requirements
The Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The most significant contractual obligations, in both the under and over one-year time period, are for the Bank to repay certificates of deposit and short- and long-term borrowings. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2025 totaled $960.1 million. If these deposits do not remain with the Bank, the Bank will be required to seek other sources of funds, which may be more expensive to obtain. The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by utilizing on-balance sheet liquidity and continuing to provide convenient depository and cash management services through its financial center network, thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar funding sources at rates that are competitive in our market. The Bank will also use borrowings and brokered deposits to meet its obligations.
Commitments to extend credit are the Bank's most significant commitment in both the under and over one-year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
