CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words, or such other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. 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:

•business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our local market areas;

•the impact of COVID-19 (including the emergence of multiple COVID-19 variants) on our business, the communities where we have our banking centers, the state of Louisiana, and the United States, related to the economy and overall financial stability;

•government and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•government intervention in the U.S. financial system, including the effects of recent and future legislative, tax, accounting, and regulatory actions and reforms, including the CARES Act, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and the Economic Aid Act, which established the SBA PPP, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other stimulus legislation or changes in banking, securities, accounting, and tax laws and regulations, and their application by our regulators;

•changes in management personnel;

•increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions;

•volatility and direction of market interest rates;

•our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships and our reputation, and to otherwise avoid liquidity risks;

•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;

•changes in the value of collateral securing our loans;

•risks associated with system failures or failures to protect against cybersecurity threats, such as breaches of our network security;

•deterioration of our asset quality;

•the adequacy of our reserves, including our allowance for credit losses;

•operational risks associated with our business;

•natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism, pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities, including the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control;

•our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;

•compliance with the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us;

•changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, or policies relating to financial institutions, accounting, tax, trade, monetary, and fiscal matters; and

•the risk factors found in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report and other reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Report. Additional information on these and other risk factors can be found in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report and in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict what risks will arise. 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, general practices within the financial services industry, and instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes in presentation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changed the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, including loans HFI, securities, and unfunded commitments, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. Accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses are considered critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. Changes in factors and forecasts used in evaluating the overall loan portfolio may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses and related provision expense in future periods. The allowance level is influenced by loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, current economic conditions, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations. Changes to the assumptions in the model in future periods could have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to “- Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023” for a detailed discussion on the Company’s methodologies for estimating expected credit losses.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans HFI, securities HTM, and unfunded commitments. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for securities AFS, which requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on securities AFS that management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold until each security has recovered its cost basis.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023, are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a $569,000, net of tax, decrease to stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2023, for the cumulative effect of

adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment included a $278,000 increase to the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan losses and established a $442,000 reserve for unfunded commitments as presented in the following table.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold, for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on loans is discontinued, and the loans are placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Loans, excluding credit cards, are charged-off to the extent management is relatively certain that principal and interest will be uncollectible. Credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, uncollected accrued interest is reversed, reducing interest income, and future income accrual is discontinued. Subsequent payments, if any, of interest and fees are applied as reductions to the loan’s outstanding principal balance. Once the principal balance of a loan placed on nonaccrual status has been fully recovered, subsequent payments received are recognized as interest income on a cash basis. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. The amount of the ACL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts, or at all. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management is relatively certain that principal and interest will be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates Company and peer historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term, as well as for changes in economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the Company’s historic loss factors. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity.

The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. The Company utilizes cohort loss rate (static pool analysis) and remaining life loss rate methodologies to estimate the quantitative portion of the ACL for loan pools. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives

Table of Contents

to determine their loss behavior. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool.

The portfolio pools are based primarily on regulatory call report codes. These pools and certain of the inherent risks in the Company’s loan portfolio are summarized in the following table.


Loan Pool			Risk Characteristics
Residential construction			This category consists of loans to residential developers and to individual clients for construction of single-family homes. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, and change in market trends.
Commercial construction			This category consists of loans to small and medium-sized businesses to construct owner occupied facilities and developers of commercial real estate investment properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, change in market trends, and the ability to sell the property upon completion.
Farmland			This category consists of loans secured by real estate that is used or usable for agricultural purposes, including land used for crops, livestock production, grazing/pastureland, and timberland. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include adverse changes in climate, fluctuations in feed and livestock prices, and changes in property values.
Home equity loans and lines			This category consists of home equity loans and lines of credit. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment.
Secured closed-liens			This category consists of loans secured by primary and secondary liens on residential real estate. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment. Generally, these loans are for longer terms than home equity loans and lines of credit.
Multifamily			This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, changes in the local economy, and factors that would impact property values.
Owner occupied commercial real estate			This category consists of loans to established operating companies and secured by owner occupied offices and industrial real estate properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management.
Non-owner occupied commercial real estate			This category consists of loans to developers and other persons or entities and secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management.
Commercial and industrial			This category consists of secured and unsecured loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans, and other business loans for working capital and operating purposes. Secured loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and other business assets. The performance of commercial and industrial loans may be adversely affected by, among other factors, conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral, and individual performance factors related to the borrower such as the quality of the borrower’s management.
Consumer			This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal use. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include the borrower’s financial condition, local unemployment rates, local economic conditions, and the interest rate environment.
Tax-exempt			This category consists of loans to political subdivisions primarily of the State of Louisiana including parishes, municipalities, utility districts, school districts, and development authorities. These loans undergo the same underwriting as any of the Company’s other loans and are typically paid for by ad valorem taxes or specific revenue sources.
Other loans			This category consists of loans not included in any other category. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local economic conditions, and the interest rate environment.

Table of Contents

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used. Either of these determinations are highly subjective and based on information available at the time of valuation.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within accrued interest payable on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision is recorded in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded commitment balance to obtain the reserve amount.

Securities AFS

ASC 326 requires the Company to measure expected credit losses on securities AFS. Impairment is evaluated when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management evaluates each security by considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, volatility of the security’s fair value, and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral, along with other factors. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. If a decline in the fair value related to creditworthiness or other factors is determined, an ACL will be calculated using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management will compare the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the investment securities and no ACL is recorded on accrued interest receivable. The Company’s current securities AFS portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency securities, and municipal bonds. The Company’s securities AFS, other than the municipal bonds, are considered treasuries, agencies, and instrumentalities of the U.S. government, which have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Municipal bonds AFS do not fall under the zero credit loss assumption and are evaluated quarterly using the considerations mentioned above to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. Due to the zero credit loss assumption and the considerations applied to the securities AFS, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023 for securities AFS.

Securities HTM

ASC 326 requires the Company to measure expected credit losses on securities HTM. Securities HTM are measured on a collective basis by major security type with those sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the securities HTM portfolio. Management monitors the HTM portfolio to determine whether an ACL should be recorded. The Company’s current securities HTM portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency securities. The Company’s securities HTM are considered agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government that have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Due to the zero credit loss assumption, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023 for securities HTM.

ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update address how to determine whether a contract liability is recognized by the acquirer in a business combination. The amendment also resolves the inconsistency of post-acquisition revenue recognition by providing specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2021-08. Adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance issued in this update eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, but also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at

Table of Contents

Amortized Cost. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. The guidance issued in this update addresses two issues. First, the standard requires entities to determine whether a related party arrangement between entities under common control is a lease. If the arrangement is a lease, the accounting for the lease is treated the same as an arrangement with an unrelated party. This is a change in the requirement under Topic 840, Leases, which used the basis of economic substance. Secondly, the standard requires leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. If the lessor obtained control of the use of the underlying asset through a lease with another entity not within the common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group. If the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset, the improvement is accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity. These leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. Both items of this amendment are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim periods and annual financial statements that have not been issued. On January 1, 2023, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2023-01, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The guidance in this update amends various SEC paragraphs relating to financial disclosures. This update is an alignment of SEC and GAAP reporting. This update was issued in the third quarter of 2023 and was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of September 30, 2023, there were no recent accounting pronouncements that were applicable and not adopted.

2. Securities

Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. Total securities were $675.3 million as of September 30, 2023.

Securities AFS and Securities HTM

Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $529.0 million. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $83.3 million as of September 30, 2023.

Securities HTM, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of September 30, 2023, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $143.4 million.

Investment activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, included $118.9 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls, partially offset by $34.6 million of securities purchased. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no purchases or sales of securities HTM for the same period.

Accounting for Credit Losses – Securities AFS and Securities HTM

The Company evaluates securities AFS for impairment when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Due to the zero credit loss assumption and the considerations applied to the securities AFS, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023, and there was no ACL for securities AFS as of September 30, 2023. Also, as part of the Company’s evaluation of its intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, the Company considers its investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy, and interest rate risk position. Management does not intend to sell these securities prior to recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold them, primarily due to adequate liquidity, until each security has recovered its cost basis.

Due to the zero credit loss assumption on the securities HTM portfolio, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023, and there was no ACL for securities HTM as of September 30, 2023.

Accrued interest receivable totaled $2.6 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for securities AFS and securities HTM and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

Equity Securities

Equity securities are an investment in a CRA mutual fund, consisting primarily of bonds. Equity securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with periodic changes in value recorded through the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2022, equity securities had a fair value of $10.0 million with a recognized loss of $468,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss on equity securities during 2022 was due to a significant increase in interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $7.0 million of the mutual fund. As of September 30, 2023, equity securities had a fair value of $2.8 million with a recognized loss of $145,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Pledged Securities

Securities with carrying values of approximately $232.7 million and $191.2 million were used as collateral as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Impaired Loans

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, when ASC 326 was adopted, the Company individually evaluated impaired loans, including TDRs and performing and nonperforming loans. Once a loan was deemed to be impaired, the difference between the loan value and the Bank’s exposure was charged-off or a specific reserve was established.

Loan Modifications

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures effective January 1, 2023, using the prospective method. This ASU eliminates the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and requires all loan modifications to be evaluated based on whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Modifications are made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, and the modified terms are in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension in the current reporting period. As of September 30, 2023, no loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that resulted in an other-than-insignificant delay in payment.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, when ASC 326 was adopted, the restructuring of a loan was considered a TDR if the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and the Bank had granted a concession.

Table of Contents

A summary of loans modified as TDRs that occurred during the period indicated is as follows:

The loans modified as TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased the allowance for loan losses by $103,000. Additionally, there were no defaults on loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, that had been modified as a TDR during the prior twelve months.

Credit Quality Indicators

Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows:

Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.

Special mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.

Substandard - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.

Doubtful - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.

Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for credit losses.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no loans classified as doubtful or loss. The following table summarizes loans by risk rating and year of origination as of September 30, 2023:

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $382.3 million and $377.6 million, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $15.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method and established a reserve for unfunded commitments based on estimates of expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. As of September 30, 2023, the reserve on unfunded commitments was $442,000.

4. Deposits

Deposits were $2.76 billion and $2.80 billion as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $39.0 million decrease was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity, combined with normal tax payments. Also in 2023, there was a deposit mix shift between deposit categories as customers moved funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. Deposits are summarized below:

Table of Contents

Collateral for Deposits

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, securities and FHLB letters of credit with values of approximately $210.0 million and $268.6 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public entity deposits.

5. Other Borrowed Funds

The Company has established various lines of credit with the FHLB and other correspondent banks to provide additional sources of operating funds. The Company’s FHLB line of credit is collateralized by eligible Red River Bank loans. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $60.0 million in short-term advances at an interest rate of 5.49% from the FHLB under its existing line of credit. The $60.0 million advance matured and was repaid in July 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

6. Contingencies

The Company and the Bank are involved, from time to time, in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims or litigation cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of management, neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

7. Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Disclosure

Securities AFS, loans HFS, and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, foreclosed assets, and other certain assets. The nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels:

•Level 1 pricing represents quotes on the exact financial instrument that is traded in active markets. Quoted prices on actively traded equities, for example, are in this category.

•Level 2 pricing is derived from observable data including market spreads, current and projected rates, prepayment data, and credit quality. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 pricing is derived without the use of observable data. In such cases, mark-to-model strategies are typically employed. Often, these types of instruments have no active market, possess unique characteristics, and are thinly traded.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities AFS and Equity Securities: The fair values for securities AFS are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Loans HFS: Residential mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. The fair values of mortgage loans HFS are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans HFS are recurring Level 2.

Loans HFI: The Company does not record loans HFI at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance may be established. Loans for which it was probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using estimated fair value methodologies. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, and discounted cash flows. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determined the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Table of Contents

Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, foreclosed assets are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market, and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain impaired collateral dependent loans reported at fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Prior to foreclosure of these loans, fair value of the collateral is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

The table below presents certain impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through the allowance for loan losses or credit losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral during the reported periods:


	For the Nine Months Ended

Fair value of impaired loans	$	385	$	2,842

The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities: Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include certain foreclosed assets, which are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses upon initial recognition as a foreclosed asset. Subsequent to their initial recognition, certain foreclosed assets are remeasured at fair value through an adjustment included in other noninterest

8. Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal 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 and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Basel III Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to Basel III capital guidelines. Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain certain minimum ratios to meet capital adequacy requirements. It is management’s belief that, as of September 30, 2023, both the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. Management expects that the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed capital adequacy requirements. The Company believes that, as of September 30, 2023, it is well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Table of Contents

Bank holding companies that qualify as “small bank holding companies” under the Policy Statement are exempt from the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital adequacy ratios at the holding company level and instead are evaluated at the bank level. In May 2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Because the Company had less than $3.0 billion in assets as of each of the June 30th measurement dates starting with the Economic Growth Act’s enactment and going through June 30, 2021, the Company has received benefits under the Policy Statement through 2022, except with regard to the timing of the Red River Bank safety and soundness exam by the FDIC and the OFI. Due to the timing of the asset balance determination for the Red River Bank safety and soundness examination, a 12-month examination cycle began in the second half of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had more than $3.0 billion in assets. Therefore, effective January 1, 2023, the Company no longer receives any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements. As of June 30, 2023, the last applicable measurement date, the Company has more than $3.0 billion in assets.

Capital amounts and ratios for the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are presented in the following table:

Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework

As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available to the Company and the Bank as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.

9. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Director Compensation Program, stock options, and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive EPS calculation assumes all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the year, and the pro forma proceeds from the exercised options and restricted stock are used to purchase common stock at the average fair market valuation price.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 4, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of its 2022 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2022. The renewed program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 23,561 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 42,250 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $2.9 million available for repurchasing its common stock under this program.

AOCI - Transfer of Unrealized Gain (Loss) of Securities AFS and HTM

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from AFS to HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. The net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI, is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. As of September 30, 2023, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $14.8 million, of which $11.7 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI.

CECL Adjustment - Implementation of Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology related to ASU No. 2016-13

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. In the first quarter of 2023, the implementation of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments, and a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings.

•As of September 30, 2023, assets were $3.07 billion, $39.0 million, or 1.3%, higher than June 30, 2023. Total assets were impacted by a $95.7 million increase in deposits, partially offset by the payoff of $60.0 million of FHLB advances.

•Deposits totaled $2.76 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $95.7 million, or 3.6%, compared to $2.66 billion as of June 30, 2023.

•As of September 30, 2023, loans HFI were $1.95 billion, consistent with June 30, 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, new loan originations were offset by loan payments and paydowns.

•As of September 30, 2023, total securities were $675.3 million compared to $739.0 million as of June 30, 2023. Securities decreased $63.7 million mainly due to maturities and principal repayments, combined with a larger net unrealized loss on securities AFS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $8.0 million, or $1.12 diluted EPS, a decrease of $947,000, or 10.6%, compared to $9.0 million, or $1.25 diluted EPS, for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income was due to a $785,000 decrease in net interest income, a $426,000 decrease in noninterest income, and a $98,000 increase in operating expenses, partially offset by a $247,000 decrease in income tax expense and a $115,000 decrease in the provision for credit losses. The return on assets for the third quarter of 2023 was 1.05%, compared to 1.20% for the second quarter of 2023. The return on equity was 11.15% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 12.78% for the second quarter of 2023. Our efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2023 was 61.70%, compared to 58.63% for the second quarter of 2023.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $26.6 million, or $3.70 diluted EPS, a decrease of $138,000, or 0.5%, compared to $26.7 million, or $3.71 diluted EPS, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was due to a $4.3 million increase in operating expenses and a $355,000 increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in net interest income, a $1.8 million increase in noninterest income, and a $515,000 decrease in the provision for credit losses. The return on assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 1.18%, compared to 1.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The return on equity was 12.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 13.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 59.02%, compared to 56.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets; (2) the cost of deposits and other funding sources; (3) net interest spread; and (4) net interest margin. Since noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing funding sources.

Between March 2020 and September 2023, the interest rate environment has changed significantly. In March 2020, the target federal funds range decreased 150 bps to a range of 0.00% to 0.25% and remained at that level until March 2022, when the FOMC began increasing the target federal funds range. The FOMC increased the federal funds rate by 425 bps in 2022, by 50 bps in the first quarter of 2023, by 25 bps in the second quarter of 2023, and an additional 25 bps in the third quarter of 2023. The average effective federal funds rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 5.26% compared to 4.99% for the second quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the average effective federal funds rate was 4.92% compared to 1.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were both impacted by the federal funds rate increases by the FOMC over the last year.

Third Quarter of 2023 vs. Second Quarter of 2023

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $20.7 million, which was $785,000, or 3.6%, lower than the second quarter of 2023, due to a $2.6 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in interest and dividend income. The increase in interest expense was due to higher deposit rates and larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts. The cost of deposits increased 37 bps to 1.40% for the third quarter of 2023 from 1.03% for the prior quarter. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to higher interest income on loans and short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $1.1 million due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans, combined with higher balances in loans HFI. The average rate on new and renewed loans was 7.39% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 7.09% for the prior quarter. Interest income on short-term liquid assets increased $1.0 million due to an increase in these balances during the third quarter, combined with the higher interest rate environment. Short-term liquid asset balances increased, in part, due to securities cash flows that were redeployed into higher earning short-term liquid assets.

The net interest margin FTE decreased 18 bps to 2.78% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.96% for the prior quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by higher deposit rates as a result of the deposit rate pressures. We continued to experience a change in the deposit mix due to customers moving deposits from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. The rate on time deposits increased 70 bps, and the rate on interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 36 bps. The deposit mix shift, combined with the higher rates on these accounts, increased the total cost of deposits by 37 bps. The higher cost of deposits was partially offset by a 32 bp increase in the yield on short-term liquid assets and a 13 bp increase in the yield on loans, which were driven by the higher interest rate environment.

The FOMC left the federal funds rate consistent at its September and November 2023 meetings. The current expectation is that the FOMC will keep the rate consistent through December 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we anticipate receiving approximately $45.0 million in cash flows from our securities portfolio that we expect to redeploy into higher yielding assets, which should benefit both net interest income and net interest margin FTE. As of September 30, 2023,

Table of Contents

floating rate loans were 11.6% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity, movement in interest rates, deposit rate pressure, and deposit mix shift, we expect the net interest margin FTE to remain fairly consistent for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $65.1 million, which was $2.2 million, or 3.5%, higher than $63.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net interest income increased due to a $19.1 million increase in interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $17.0 million increase in interest expense.

The increase in interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to higher interest income on loans and short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $14.0 million due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans and a $146.4 million increase in the average balance of loans, when compared to the same period prior year. Income on short-term liquid assets increased $4.6 million due to the FOMC’s increases to the target federal funds range, partially offset by a $247.4 million decrease in the average balance of these short-term liquid assets. Interest expense increased during the nine

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 due to increased deposit rates, combined with larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts in 2023.

Net interest margin FTE increased 18 bps to 2.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from 2.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the higher interest rate environment and an improved asset mix. The yield on loans increased 65 bps due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans due to the higher interest rate environment. Our deployment of lower-yielding short-term liquid assets into higher-yielding loans also benefited the net interest margin FTE. In addition, the yield on short-term liquid assets was 418 bps higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The net interest margin FTE was negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of deposits. The cost of deposits increased 84 bps to 1.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from 0.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to a 133 bp increase in the rate on interest-bearing deposits, combined with customers moving deposits from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories in 2023. Within total interest-bearing deposits, the rate on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 176 and 110 bps, respectively. These rates increased as we responded to deposit rate pressure that began in the second half of 2022 and continued into 2023.

Rate/Volume Analysis

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. The change in interest attributable to rate has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. The guidance for CECL replaces our previous incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects the current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit losses.

The provision for credit losses is the amount necessary to maintain the ACL at a level considered appropriate by management. Factors impacting the provision include loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, and current economic conditions.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the provision for credit losses:


	For the Three Months Ended

Provision for credit losses	$	185	$	300	$	(115)	(38.3	%)

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2023 was $185,000, which was $115,000 lower than the provision for credit losses of $300,000 for the prior quarter. The provision in the third quarter was due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and consistent loan balances. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

Noninterest Income

Our primary sources of noninterest income are fees related to the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, brokerage income from advisory services, and other loan and deposit fees.

Third Quarter of 2023 vs. Second Quarter of 2023

Noninterest income decreased $426,000 to $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in noninterest income was mainly due to lower income from an SBIC limited partnership of which Red River Bank is a member, partially offset by higher brokerage income.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income:


	For the Three Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023		Increase (Decrease)

Other income (loss)	60		59		1		1.7	%
Total noninterest income	$	5,581	$	6,007	$	(426)	(7.1)	%

SBIC income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $460,000 to $920,000 from the prior quarter. In the second quarter, the SBIC sold an investment, which resulted in higher income. We expect this income to be lower in future quarters.

Brokerage income increased $106,000 to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was largely due to investing activities of new clients. Assets under management were $978.3 million as of September 30, 2023, and $997.3 million as of June 30, 2023.

Noninterest income increased $1.8 million to $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in noninterest income was due to higher SBIC income, a decreased loss on equity securities, increased loan and deposit income, and higher brokerage income. These increases were partially offset by lower mortgage loan income.

SBIC income increased $2.1 million to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the sale of an investment by the SBIC in the second quarter of 2023.

Equity securities are an investment in a CRA mutual fund consisting primarily of bonds. The gain or loss on equity securities is a fair value adjustment primarily driven by changes in the interest rate environment. In 2023, we sold $7.0 million of the CRA mutual fund. The mutual fund had a loss of $145,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $447,000 for the same period in 2022.

Loan and deposit income increased $283,000 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily associated with fees related to customers moving funds from lower yielding deposit accounts to higher yielding deposit accounts.

Brokerage income increased $223,000 to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to investing activities of new clients. Assets under management were $978.3 million and $813.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Mortgage loan income decreased $1.1 million to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year due to higher mortgage interest rates and reduced purchase activity.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships, and providing services.

Third Quarter of 2023 vs. Second Quarter of 2023

Operating expenses increased $98,000 to $16.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by various other categories.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $109,000 to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to having a full quarter of expenses for the new operations center building and the expansion of a banking center in the Southwest market, higher facility maintenance expenses, and $25,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to the renovation of the main office building in the third quarter of 2023.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Operating expenses increased $4.3 million to $47.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $43.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, regulatory assessment expenses, other business development expenses, and legal and professional expenses.

Personnel expenses increased $2.1 million to $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel health insurance expenses and annual merit increases effective April 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had 360 and 358 total employees, respectively.

Table of Contents

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $437,000 to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was mainly due to opening our new operations center building in the first quarter of 2023 and the expansion of a banking center in the Southwest market in the second quarter of 2023.

Regulatory assessment expenses increased $442,000 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to the FDIC raising the deposit insurance assessment rate by two bps, effective January 1, 2023, for all insured depository institutions.

Other business development expenses increased $372,000 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was mainly the result of an increase in community sponsorships and CRA related contributions, as well as expenses associated with an SBIC limited partnership.

Legal and professional expenses increased $268,000 to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher audit and compliance fees.

Income Tax Expense

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Our accrued tax rate is based on an annualized projection and changes considering our most recent financial results and balances. Our effective income tax rates have differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities, life insurance policies, income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation, and permanent and temporary tax differences.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, income tax expense:


	For the Three Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023		Increase (Decrease)
Income tax expense	$	1,870	$	2,117	$	(247)	(11.7)	%

For the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, income tax expense totaled $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in our accrued tax rate during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Our effective income tax rates for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, were 18.9% and 19.1%, respectively.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, income tax expense:


	For the Nine Months Ended

Income tax expense	$	6,150	$	5,795	$	355	6.1	%

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, income tax expense totaled $6.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income combined with an increase in our accrued tax rate. Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were 18.8% and 17.8%, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of September 30, 2023, assets were $3.07 billion, which was $16.5 million, or 0.5%, lower than $3.08 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in deposits. Total deposits decreased $39.0 million, or 1.4%, to $2.76 billion as of September 30, 2023, from $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2022. Within assets, during the first nine months of the year, cash and cash equivalents increased $43.8 million, or 15.7%, to $322.2 million and were 10.51% of assets as of September 30, 2023. Total securities decreased $100.8 million, or 13.0%, to $675.3 million and were 22.02% of assets as of September 30, 2023. Loans HFI increased $32.3 million, or 1.7%, during the first nine months of 2023 to $1.95 billion as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings. Stockholders’ equity increased $16.2 million during the first nine months of 2023 to $282.0 million as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the loans HFI to deposits ratio was 70.60%, compared to 68.46% as of December 31, 2022, and the noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits ratio was 35.22%, compared to 38.96% as of December 31, 2022.

Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Banks

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks were the third-largest component of earning assets as of September 30, 2023. Excess liquidity that is not being deployed into loans or securities is placed in these accounts. As of September 30, 2023, interest-bearing deposits in other banks were $279.8 million and were 9.1% of assets, an increase of $39.2 million, or 16.3%, compared to $240.6 million and 7.8% of assets as of December 31, 2022. This increase was due to cash flows from the securities portfolio being redeployed into interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

Securities

Our securities portfolio is the second-largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. As of September 30, 2023, our total securities portfolio was 22.0% of assets. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring unnecessary interest rate and credit risk, and complement our lending activities. We may invest in various types of liquid assets that are permissible under governing regulations and approved by our investment policy, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit of insured domestic banks, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, corporate notes having an investment rating of “A” or better, municipal bonds, and certain equity securities.

Securities AFS and Securities HTM

Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Total debt securities were $672.5 million as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of $93.6 million, or 12.2%, from $766.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $529.0 million. The carrying values of our securities AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any unrealized gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $83.3 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to a net unrealized loss of $74.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Securities HTM, which we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of September 30, 2023, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $143.4 million. Securities HTM had an unrealized loss of $26.2 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to an unrealized loss of $19.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

The securities AFS portfolio tax-equivalent yield was 1.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 1.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was due to the higher yielding securities purchased in 2023 compared to the purchases in the same period for 2022, combined with the positive impact from our floating rate securities that have repriced over the last year.

The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable indicator of their expected lives because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgage loans and other loans with varying maturities. The term of the underlying mortgages and loans may vary significantly due to the ability of a borrower to prepay. Monthly pay downs on mortgage-backed securities may cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than the stated contractual maturity. During a period of rising interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities are not likely to experience heavy prepayments of principal, and consequently, the average lives of these securities are typically lengthened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments may increase, thereby shortening the estimated average lives of these securities. As of September 30, 2023, the average life of our securities portfolio was 7.4 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.2 years. As of December 31, 2022, the average life of our securities portfolio was 6.8 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.0 years.

Table of Contents

The following tables summarize the amortized cost and estimated fair value of our securities by type as of the dates indicated. As of September 30, 2023, other than securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any one issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity.

Equity Securities

Equity securities are an investment in a CRA mutual fund, consisting primarily of bonds. Equity securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with periodic changes in value recorded through the consolidated statements of income.

Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due.

Asset quality is managed through disciplined underwriting policies, continual monitoring of loan performance, and focused management of NPAs. There can be no assurance, however, that the loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions, deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers, or a decline in the value of collateral.

NPAs totaled $2.1 million as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of $298,000, or 12.6%, from $2.4 million as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to payments to nonaccrual loans. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.07% as of September 30, 2023 and 0.08% as of December 31, 2022.

Potential Problem Loans

From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans in one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. Loan classifications reflect a judgment about the risk of default and loss associated with the loans. Classifications are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss believed to be inherent in each loan. The methodology is structured so that reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).

Loans classified as pass are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.

Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If these weaknesses are not corrected, repayment possibilities for the loan may deteriorate. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.

Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.

Loans classified as doubtful have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for credit losses.

The following table summarizes loans HFI by risk rating:


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		Percent		Amount		Percent
Pass	$	1,923,283	98.7	%	$	1,893,491	98.8	%

Total loans HFI	$	1,948,606	100.0	%	$	1,916,267	100.0	%

There were no loans as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, classified as doubtful or loss.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, as amended, using the modified retrospective method. For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, we maintain an ACL on all loans that reflects management’s best estimate of expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023” in this Report for more information regarding our ACL methodologies.

In determining the ACL for loans HFI, we estimate losses on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually and excluded from the collective evaluation. The ACL is determined using the CECL model, which considers relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Table of Contents

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, the ALL was established for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio based upon management’s best assessment of the loan portfolio. It was maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb potential losses through periodic changes to loan losses.

As of September 30, 2023, the ACL was $21.2 million, or 1.09% of loans HFI. As of December 31, 2022, the ALL totaled $20.6 million, or 1.08% of loans HFI. The $555,000 increase in the ACL for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was due to the $278,000 increase in the ACL from the adoption of ASC 326 and $485,000 from the provision for credit losses, partially offset by $208,000 of net-charge-offs.

The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $485,000, a decrease of $515,000, or 51.5%, from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The primary drivers of the decrease were the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, current economic forecasts, and a lower loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

The following table displays activity in the ACL for September 30, 2023, and the ALL for September 30, 2022:

We believe that we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above. Future provisions for credit losses are subject to ongoing evaluations of the factors and loan portfolio risks, including economic pressures related to inflation, labor market and supply chain constraints, and natural disasters affecting the state of Louisiana. A decline in market area economic conditions, deterioration of asset quality, or growth in portfolio size could cause the allowance to become inadequate, and material additional provisions for credit losses could be required.

Deposits

Deposits are the primary funding source for loans and investments. We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain consumer, commercial, and public entity customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and time deposit accounts. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities located primarily in our market areas. We do not have any internet-sourced or brokered deposits.

Total deposits decreased $39.0 million, or 1.4%, to $2.76 billion as of September 30, 2023, from $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity. Also in 2023, there was a deposit mix shift between deposit categories as customers moved funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $118.4 million, or 10.9%, to $972.2 million as of September 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 35.22% as of September 30, 2023, compared to 38.96% as of December 31, 2022. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $79.3 million, or 4.6%, to $1.79 billion as of September 30, 2023.

Red River Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. As of September 30, 2023, the average deposit account size was approximately $28,000, compared to $30,000 as of December 31, 2022.

In 2022, we implemented the IntraFi Network Insured Cash Sweep and related reciprocal balance programs for qualified commercial customers. The IntraFi Network Insured Cash Sweep program provides our customers a demand deposit sweep account that has a competitive interest rate as well as full FDIC insurance coverage. As of September 30, 2023, we had $134.1 million swept off our balance sheet. The related reciprocal program brings deposit balances back on to our balance sheet as interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. As of September 30, 2023, we had $145.8 million of interest-bearing demand deposit accounts.

The following table presents our deposits by account type as of the dates indicated:

We manage our interest expense on deposits through a deposit pricing strategy that is based on competitive pricing, economic conditions, and current or anticipated funding needs. We adjust deposit rates in part based upon our anticipated funding needs and liquidity position. We also consider the potential interest rate risk caused by extended maturities of time deposits when adjusting deposit rates.

Our average deposit balance was $2.71 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $21.8 million, or 0.8%, from $2.69 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits for the third quarter of 2023 was 2.19% and 1.40%, respectively, compared to 1.66% and 1.03% for the prior quarter, respectively. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior quarter was due to increased deposit rates in response to deposit rate competition created by rising interest rates, combined with the deposit mix shift. Also, as of September 30, 2023, 6.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits had floating rates, which adjust with market rates.

The following table presents our average deposits by account type and the average rate paid for the periods indicated:

As of September 30, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $839.1 million, or 30.4% of total deposits, compared to $975.1 million, or 34.8% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of September 30, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $673.8 million, or 24.4% of total deposits, compared to $786.9 million, or 28.1% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents of $322.2 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.49 billion equaled 216.3% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 269.4% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits.

The following table presents the amount of time deposits by account that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) by time remaining until maturity for the period indicated:

Borrowings

Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may, from time to time, utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when such borrowings can be invested at a positive interest rate spread for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our liquidity needs. Our FHLB line of credit is collateralized by eligible Red River Bank loans. As of June 30, 2023, we had $60.0 million in short-term advances at an interest rate of 5.49% from the FHLB under its existing line of credit. The $60.0 million advance matured and was repaid in July 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings.

Equity and Regulatory Capital Requirements

Total stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2023, was $282.0 million compared to $265.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The $16.2 million, or 6.1%, increase in stockholders’ equity was attributable to $26.6 million of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and $323,000 of stock compensation, partially offset by $6.3 million of other comprehensive loss related to securities, $1.7 million in cash dividends, the repurchase of 42,250 shares of common stock for $2.1 million, and a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings related to the adoption of CECL.

Table of Contents

On November 4, 2022, our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2022 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2022. The renewed program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 23,561 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.2 million. Repurchases may be subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. While we may complete transactions subject to the new excise tax, we do not expect a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 42,250 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had $2.9 million available for repurchasing our common stock under this program.

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. In the first quarter of 2023, the implementation of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments, and a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings.

The Economic Growth Act, which was signed into law in May 2018, provides, among other items, certain targeted modifications to prior financial services reform regulatory requirements. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Because we had less than $3.0 billion in assets as of each of the June 30th measurement dates starting with the Economic Growth Act’s enactment and going through June 30, 2021, we received benefits under the Policy Statement through 2022, except with regard to the timing of the Red River Bank safety and soundness exam by the FDIC and the OFI. Due to the timing of the asset balance determination for the Red River Bank safety and soundness examination, a 12-month examination cycle began in the second half of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had more than $3.0 billion in assets. Therefore, effective January 1, 2023, we no longer receive any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements. As of June 30, 2023, the last applicable measurement date, we had more than $3.0 billion in assets.

Another significant provision of the Economic Growth Act was the directive that federal bank regulatory agencies adopt a threshold for a CBLR framework. As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2023, we had sufficient liquid assets available and $1.49 billion from other liquidity sources.

Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and potential acquisitions, reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities, and cash flows from amortizing security and loan portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and prepayments on amortizing securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and the competitive environment in which we operate; therefore, these cash flows are monitored regularly.

Table of Contents

Liquidity levels are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Access to purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are also available. Purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances can be utilized to meet funding obligations.

Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is the funding of loans. We invest excess deposits in interest-earning deposit accounts at other banks or at the Federal Reserve, federal funds sold, securities, or other short-term liquid investments until the deposits are needed to fund loan growth or other obligations. Our average deposits decreased $135.4 million, or 4.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the average deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in average total deposits was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity. Our average total loans increased $116.7 million, or 6.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to average total loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, liquid assets were $322.2 million, compared to $278.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase of $43.8 million, or 15.7%, was due to lower securities balances as a result of maturities and receiving principal repayments during the first nine months of the year, partially offset by the outflow of deposits during the same period. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 10.51% as of September 30, 2023, compared to 9.03% as of December 31, 2022.

Our securities portfolio is an alternative source for meeting liquidity needs and was our second-largest component of assets as of September 30, 2023. The securities portfolio generates cash flow through principal repayments, calls, and maturities, and certain securities can be sold or used as collateral in borrowings that allow for their conversion to cash. Securities AFS can generally be sold, while securities HTM have significant restrictions related to sales. As of September 30, 2023, we project receipt of approximately $45.0 million of principal repayments and maturities through December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $439.7 million, or 65.1%, of the securities portfolio was available to be sold or to be used as collateral in borrowings as a liquidity source.

We also utilize the FHLB as needed as a viable funding source. FHLB advances may be used to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB advance compares favorably to the rates that would be required to attract the necessary deposits. We currently are classified as having “blanket lien collateral status,” which means that advances can be executed at any time without further collateral requirements. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our net borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $910.7 million and $774.9 million, respectively.

In addition, effective the third quarter of 2023, the Bank pledged securities to have borrowing access to the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility. As of September 30, 2023, our borrowing capacity through this facility was $41.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowing capacity through this facility as collateral had not been pledged.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks that provided for the availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $95.0 million in federal funds as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The rates for the federal funds lines are determined by the applicable commercial bank at the time of borrowing. We also maintain an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total borrowing capacity of $101.0 million through these combined funding sources. We had no outstanding balances from either of these sources as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Bank can participate in the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program as an additional liquidity source. If needed, the Bank Term Funding Program gives us the option to use eligible securities as collateral for a loan of up to one year from the Federal Reserve.

Commitments to Extend Credit

In the normal course of business, we enter into certain financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments include revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and are primarily issued for commercial purposes. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $382.3 million in unfunded loan commitments and $15.2 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2022, we had $377.6 million in unfunded loan commitments and $14.6 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As commitments

Table of Contents

associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding commitments may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

Investment Commitments

The Company is party to various investment commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s exposure is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

In 2014, the Company committed to an investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of September 30, 2023, there was a $226,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.

In 2020, the Company committed to an additional investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of September 30, 2023, there was a $2.6 million outstanding commitment to this partnership.

In 2021, the Company committed to an investment into a bank technology limited partnership. As of September 30, 2023, there was a $492,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.

Construction Commitment

The Company has committed to an agreement to construct a banking center, and there was approximately $2.0 million remaining on this commitment as of September 30, 2023.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset-liability management policies provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our rate sensitivity position within our established policy guidelines.

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet appropriately during the ordinary course of business. We have the ability to enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in limited circumstances, but it is not our policy to enter into such transactions on a regular basis. We do not enter into instruments such as financial options, financial futures contracts, or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We are not subject to foreign exchange risk, and our commodity price risk is immaterial, as the percentage of our agricultural loans to loans HFI was only 0.56% as of September 30, 2023.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by Red River Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk and monitors the results of those strategies. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital given the current outlook on interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies, and other related factors.

The committee meets quarterly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and economic values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits, and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as an interest rate simulation model and shock analysis.

In conjunction with our interest rate risk management process, on a quarterly basis, we run various simulations within a static balance sheet model. This model tests the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Our nonparallel rate shock simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve.

Bank policy regarding interest rate risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 15.0% for a 200 bp shift. In accordance with Bank policy that was approved in September 2023, regarding economic value at risk simulations performed by our risk model for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated fair value of equity for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 20.0% for a 200 bp shift.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the impact of an instantaneous and parallel change in rates, at the levels indicated, and summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated.


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	% Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Fair Value of Equity		% Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Fair Value of Equity
Change in Interest Rates (Bps)
+300	5.3	%	(5.9)	%	6.4	%	(2.0)	%
+200	3.5	%	(3.9)	%	4.1	%	(1.2)	%
+100	1.8	%	(1.7)	%	2.2	%	0.0	%
Base	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%
-100	(2.4)	%	1.0	%	(2.6)	%	(1.2)	%
-200	(5.2)	%	0.7	%	(6.3)	%	(5.4)	%

The results above, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, demonstrate that our balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means our assets have the opportunity to reprice at a faster pace than our liabilities, over the 12-month horizon. However, due to recent deposit rate pressure, our deposit interest rates have adjusted more quickly than the change in the federal funds rate. This assumption is generally not reflected in a gap analysis, which is the process by which we measure the repricing gap between interest rate-sensitive assets versus interest rate-sensitive liabilities.

As of September 30, 2023, the reported percentage changes in net interest income and fair value of equity remained within the policy thresholds. These values are reported at each quarterly Asset-Liability Committee meeting. The net interest income at risk and the fair value of equity will continue to be monitored, and appropriate mitigating action will be taken if needed.

The impact of our floating rate loans and floating rate transaction deposits are also reflected in the results shown in the above table. As of September 30, 2023, floating rate loans were 11.6% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits.

The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies and the slope of the yield curve.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed in this Report as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner that we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this Report may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Share. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing tangible book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share.

As a result of previous acquisitions, we have a small amount of intangible assets. As of September 30, 2023, total intangible assets were $1.5 million, which is less than 1.0% of total assets.

Table of Contents

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets.

Realized Book Value Per Share. Realized book value per share is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that this measure is important because it allows us to monitor changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in AOCI. Our AOCI is impacted primarily by the unrealized gains and losses on securities AFS. These unrealized gains or losses on securities AFS are driven by market factors and may also be temporary and vary greatly from period to period. Due to the possibly temporary and greatly variable nature of these changes, we find it useful to monitor realized book value per share. We calculate realized book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less AOCI, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. AOCI has the effect of increasing or decreasing total book value while not increasing or decreasing realized book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for realized book value per share is book value per share.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity, stockholders’ equity to realized common equity, and assets to tangible assets, and presents related resulting ratios.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under

Table of Contents

current circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which created changes to the allowance for loan losses critical accounting policy that existed as of December 31, 2022. The allowance for loan losses critical accounting policy was replaced with the ACL critical accounting policy. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates Company and peer historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity.

The ACL is available to absorb losses on loans HFI, and the reserve for unfunded commitments is a liability established to absorb credit losses for the expected life of the contractual term of off-balance sheet exposures as of the date of the determination. The process and methodology employed to establish an ACL consist of two components: (1) a component involving individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Management establishes an allowance for individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans based on the amount of expected credit losses calculated on those individual loans and any amounts determined to be uncollectible. Factors considered in measuring the extent of expected credit losses include payment status, collateral value, borrower financial condition, guarantor support, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. For loans evaluated on an individual bases that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used.

In estimating an allowance for loans that share similar risk characteristics, loans are segmented into pools based on regulatory call report codes that are considered to share similar risk characteristics or areas of risk concentration. Expected credit losses are estimated using the cohort loss rate and remaining life loss rate methodologies. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. Once the losses have been tracked, the results are averaged together to determine the average remaining life loss rate to be applied to the current loans in the cohort and are adjusted for reasonable and supportable forecast periods, which is not to exceed a two-year period. Additionally, a lookback period and delay period are established for each pool, which affects the average remaining life loss rate. The lookback period defines how many quarterly cohort periods will be averaged together to form the average remaining life loss rate and varies by pool in order to capture the performance of cohorts under a variety of different conditions, both internal and external. The delay period defines the most recent cohort that will be used in the historical average and varies by pool due to the differing terms and remaining lives that may exist in different pools. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool and further adjusts for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecast periods.

Additionally, for loans that share similar risk characteristics, the ACL considers factors for each loan pool to adjust for differences between the historical period and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio related to:

•Lending policies and procedures;

•International, national, regional, and local economic business conditions;

•The nature of the loan portfolio, including the volume of the portfolio and terms of the loans;

•The experience, depth, and ability of our lending management;

•The volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions;

•The quality of the loan review and process;

•The value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;

•The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

•The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the historical loss experience for these expectations.

Management considers the appropriateness of these critical assumptions as part of its allowance review and believes the ACL level is appropriate based on information available through the financial statement date.

There were no other material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that we use when developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we, including our subsidiaries, are or may be involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against us or our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation or that of our subsidiaries, even if resolved favorably.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, see the information in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Due to recent bank failures in the financial services industry and Progress Software Corporation’s MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer software (“MOVEit Transfer”) vulnerability, several of the risk factors presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, have heightened risk or have been updated and can be seen below.

A lack of liquidity could impair our ability to fund operations.

Liquidity is essential to our business. We rely on our ability to generate deposits and effectively manage the repayment and maturity schedules of our loans and investment securities, respectively, to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to fund our operations. As can be seen from recent events regarding the operations and failures of other banks in the U.S., an inability to mitigate deposit withdrawals and to raise funds through new deposits, borrowings, the sale of investment securities at or above the value of such securities on our books, and other sources could have a material adverse effect on liquidity. Our most important source of funds is deposits. Historically, our deposits have provided a stable source of funds. However, deposit balances can decrease when customers perceive alternative investments as providing a better risk/return tradeoff or when customers have negative views related to disruption in the financial markets or the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. If our customers move money out of bank deposits, our liquidity position could be impacted, and we would lose a relatively low-cost source of funds, increasing our funding costs, and reducing our net interest income and net income. Even though a majority of our certificates of deposit renew upon maturity with what we believe are competitive rates, some of our more rate-sensitive customers may move those and other deposit funds to higher-yielding alternatives.

Our other primary sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, and proceeds from the issuance and sale of our equity to investors. As a secondary source of liquidity, we have the ability to borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions with whom we have a correspondent relationship. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility, and the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program. Historically, we have not utilized brokered or internet deposits to meet liquidity needs.

Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our activities or on terms that are acceptable to us, could be impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. These factors may include disruptions in the financial markets or negative expectations about the industry’s prospects. Our access to funding sources could also be affected by regulatory actions against us or by a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a downturn in the Louisiana economy or in economic conditions generally. A decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, or fulfill obligations such as meeting deposit withdrawal demands or repaying our borrowings.

We may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, and other relationships. We have exposure to different industries and counterparties and exposure through transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including broker-dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, and other financial intermediaries. In addition, we participate in loans originated by other institutions, and we participate in syndicated transactions (including shared national credits) in which other lenders serve as the lead bank. Further, recent high-profile bank failures have resulted in some degree of public awareness and caused widespread questions about potential concerns in the financial institutions industry. Defaults by, declines in the financial condition of, or even rumors or questions about one or more financial institutions, financial service companies, or the financial services industry generally, may lead to a decline in market-wide liquidity, asset quality problems, or other problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions.

We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance.

Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by the level of its assessment base and its risk classification under an FDIC risk-based assessment system. The FDIC has the power to change deposit insurance assessment rates, the manner deposit insurance is calculated, and also to charge special assessments to FDIC-insured institutions. Following the recent bank failures, banking regulators announced that the FDIC will ensure that all depositors in the failed banks will receive full coverage of all of their deposits, at no cost to taxpayers. The FDIC has issued a proposed rule, which would impose special assessments on certain banks. As currently written, we would not be impacted by this special assessment; however, this rule is not final. Any future additional assessments, increases, or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could adversely impact our operating expenses and earnings.

We are subject to laws regarding the privacy, information security, and protection of personal information. Unauthorized access, cyber-crime, and other threats to data security may require significant resources, harm our reputation, and otherwise cause harm to our business.

In the ordinary course of our business, we necessarily collect, use, and retain, on various information systems that we maintain and in those maintained by third party providers and, in some cases, vendors retained by those third parties, personal and financial information concerning individuals and businesses with which we have a banking relationship. We also maintain important internal company data such as personally identifiable information about our employees and information about our operations. Threats to data security such as unauthorized access and cyber-attacks emerge and change rapidly. These threats may increase our costs for protection or remediation. They may also result in competing time constraints between applicable privacy and other requirements and our ability to secure data in accordance with customer expectations and evolving laws and regulations governing the privacy and protection of personal information.

It is difficult or impossible to defend against every risk posed by changing technologies and cyber-crime. Cyber incidents could include actual or attempted unauthorized access, tampering, malware insertion, ransomware attacks, or other system integrity events. Increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks makes it increasingly difficult to prevent a security breach. For example, we have received notice that certain of our customer data was involved in the global incident involving the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability. Our internal network systems were not impacted by the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability. However, several of our third party financial institution vendors who utilized MOVEit Transfer in their service offerings to us have notified us that their systems may have been compromised. Based on the investigation to date, we have been notified that certain of our customers have had personal information exfiltrated through the cyber-attack. We, or any of our vendors or third-party providers, could also experience a breach due to circumstances such as intentional or negligent conduct on the part of employees or other internal and external sources, software bugs, or other technical malfunctions. Any of these threats may cause our customer accounts and financial systems to become vulnerable to takeover schemes or cyber-fraud. If personal, confidential, or proprietary information of customers, employees, or others were to be mishandled or misused by us or third parties with access to that information, we could be exposed to litigation or regulatory sanctions under personal information laws and regulations. A breach of our security that results in unauthorized access to our data could expose us to disruption or challenges relating to our daily operations as well as to data loss, litigation, fines, penalties, damages, inquiries, examinations, investigations, significant increases in compliance costs, and reputational damage, which could cause us to lose customers or potential customers.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 3, 2023, Bryon C. Salazar, Executive Vice President - Chief Banking Officer of the Bank and Tammi R. Salazar, Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer of the Bank, terminated each of their existing trading plans, which were adopted on December 2, 2022 (the “Prior Plans”). The Prior Plans were adopted to sell a limited amount of the Company’s common stock for tax, estate, and family planning purposes and to provide asset diversification. The Prior Plans provided for the sale of up to 30,114 shares of common stock, collectively, from January 1, 2023, until the sale of all common stock thereunder, unless sooner terminated. The trading plans were intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act applicable at the time of adoption.

On November 3, 2023, Mr. and Mrs. Salazar adopted new trading plans intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of amended Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act (the “Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements”) and to update the price parameters of the Prior Plans. The Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements were adopted in accordance with the Company’s policies with respect to insider trading to sell a limited amount of the Company’s common stock for tax, estate, and family planning purposes and to provide asset diversification.

As of November 3, 2023, Mr. and Mrs. Salazar collectively owned 47,251 shares of the Company’s common stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements is collectively 4,726 shares (which is the number of shares that remain unsold under the Prior Plans). Each Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement provides for the potential sale of shares of the Company’s common stock so long as the market price of the Company’s common stock is higher than a certain minimum threshold price specified. Sales under the Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements may begin upon the completion of the required cooling off period under Rule 10b5-1 on March 4, 2024, and will terminate no later than December 31, 2024, unless terminated sooner upon completion of all sales under the Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements or in accordance with the terms. Transactions made under the Rule 10b5–1 Trading Arrangements will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the SEC.
