The filing includes financial statements showing a total asset increase to $4.7 billion from $4.5 billion at the end of the previous year. This growth is attributed to a rise in total portfolio loans by $118.9 million, primarily driven by commercial real estate and construction loans.

Noninterest income increased by $3.1 million to $21.4 million, driven by higher insurance commissions and a decrease in net losses on sales of securities.
Noninterest expenses rose by $4.5 million to $110.0 million, with increases in salaries, occupancy expenses, and FDIC insurance expenses.
The company recorded a net income of $24.5 million, up from $23.4 million the previous year, with a diluted earnings per share of $1.06.
Total deposits increased by $431.5 million to $4.2 billion, while FHLB borrowings decreased by $323.4 million to $70.0 million, reflecting a strategic shift towards deposit growth.
