Certain statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) are not statements of historical fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E
of the Exchange Act and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as well as the “bespeaks caution” doctrine. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of

“projection,” “predict,” “prospect,” “potential,” “roadmap,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” and “would,” or the negative versions of those words, or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking
statements may include, without limitation, discussions regarding general economic, interest rate, trade, real estate market, competitive, employment, and credit market conditions; our assets; business; cash flows; financial condition;
liquidity; prospects; results of operations and the Company’s ability to deploy capital into strategic and growth initiatives; deposit growth interest and fee-based revenue; capital resources; capital metrics; efficiency ratio; valuation of

balance sheet and liquidity management; off-balance sheet arrangements; fair value determinations; asset quality; credit quality; credit losses; provision and allowance for credit losses, impairments, charge-offs, recoveries and changes in
volume; investment securities portfolio yields and values; ability to manage the impact of natural disasters; adoption and use of critical accounting policies; adoption and implementation of new accounting standards and their effect on our
financial results and our financial reporting; utilization of non-GAAP financial metrics; declaration and payment of dividends; ability to pay dividends or coupons on our Preferred Stock or our subordinated notes; mortgage and commission

grow market share; reputation; ability to compete with other financial institutions; ability to recruit and retain key employees and personnel; access to capital markets; investment in other financial institutions; and ability to operate our
regulatory compliance programs in accordance with applicable law.
Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time such statements
were made. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, are not guarantees of future results or performance and are subject to certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are beyond our control and that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, general economic, unemployment, credit market and real
estate market conditions (including potential downturn, contraction and/or recession), and the effect of such conditions on the creditworthiness of borrowers, collateral values, the value of investment securities and asset recovery values; the
risks of changes in trade policy, in interest rates, and their effects on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, loan repayment velocity, and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest sensitive assets and liabilities;
risks arising from market reactions to the banking environment in general, or to conditions or situations at specific banks; risks arising from perceived instability in the banking sector; the impact of inflation, the failure of assumptions
underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses, fair value for loans and other real estate owned; changes in the prices, values and sales volumes of residential and commercial real estate, especially as they relate to the
value of collateral supporting the Company’s loans; uncertainties surrounding the impact of proposed tariffs (by or on the U.S.), including the potential negative impact to our loan portfolio and profitability, potential for increases in
problem loans, potential re-evaluation of credit markets and interest rates, lower equity valuation and potential slowdown in capital markets, reduced demand for U.S. exports, disruptions to supply chains, impacts from decreased international
tourism, decreased demand for other banking products and services and negative credit quality developments arising from the foregoing or other factors; the uncertain duration of trade conflicts; the magnitude of the impact that the proposed
tariffs may have on our customers’ businesses; a deterioration of the credit rating for U.S. long-term sovereign debt, actions that the U.S. government may take to avoid exceeding the debt ceiling, or uncertainties surrounding the debt ceiling
and the federal budget; the availability of and access to capital; possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook which could increase the costs or availability of funding from capital markets; the ability to attract new or retain
existing deposits or to retain or grow loans; potential delays or other problems in implementing and executing our growth, expansion and acquisition or divestment strategies, including delays in obtaining regulatory or other necessary approvals
(including obtaining the approval of any pending transactions), or the failure to realize any anticipated benefits or synergies from any acquisitions or growth strategies; the risks relating to the acquisitions of FCB Financial Corp. and
Industry Bancshares, Inc. including, without limitation: (i) the diversion of management's time on issues related to integration efforts; (ii) unexpected transaction costs, including the costs of integrating operations; (iii) the risks that the
businesses will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (iv) the potential failure to fully or timely realize expected revenues and revenue synergies, including as
the result of revenues following the merger being lower than expected; (v) the risk of deposit and customer attrition; any changes in deposit mix; (vi) unexpected operating and other costs, which may differ or change from expectations; (vii)
the risks of customer and employee loss and business disruptions, including, without limitation, as the result of difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees; (viii) increased competitive pressures and solicitations of customers by
competitors; and (ix) the difficulties and risks inherent with entering new markets; significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets; the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and
our fee income from our brokerage and wealth management businesses; the ability to grow additional interest and fee income or to control noninterest expense; competitive factors and pricing pressures, including their effect on our net interest
margin; changes in legal, financial and/or regulatory requirements (including those related to share repurchases); recently enacted and potential legislation and regulatory actions and the costs and expenses to comply with new and/or existing
legislation and regulatory actions, and any related rules and regulations; changes in U.S. Government monetary, fiscal and trade policy, including any changes that may result from U.S. elections; special assessments or changes to regular
assessments by banking regulators; possible adverse rulings, judgments, settlements and other outcomes of pending or future litigation or government actions; the ability to keep pace with technological changes, including changes regarding
generative artificial intelligence, maintaining cybersecurity and compliance with applicable cybersecurity regulatory requirements; increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions,
as well as from fintech companies, risks related to our reliance on third parties to provide key components of our business infrastructure, including the risks related to disruptions in services provided by disputes with, or financial
difficulties of a third-party vendor, the impact of failure in, or breach of, our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom we do business, including as a result of cyber-attacks or an increase in
the incidence or severity of fraud, illegal payments, security breaches or other illegal acts impacting us or our customers; natural disasters or acts of war or terrorism; international or political instability (including the impacts related to
or resulting from the proposed tariffs and international trade conflicts, Russia’s military action in Ukraine, or the Israel-Hamas war, including the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls, as well as the broader impacts to
financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments); risks and costs related to the scope and pace of related rulemaking activity; impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets; adoption of new accounting
standards or changes in existing standards; and other factors described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report or as detailed from time to time in the Company’s press and news releases, reports and other filings we file with the
federal banking regulators.
5
The Company faces risks from: possible adverse rulings, judgments, settlements or other outcomes of pending, ongoing and future litigation, as well as governmental, administrative and
investigatory matters; the impairment of the Company’s goodwill or other intangible assets; losses of key employees and personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; and the Company’s
success in executing its business plans and strategies, and managing the risks involved in all of the foregoing.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of this Report, if one or more events related to these or other
risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and the Company does 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 and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict their
occurrence or how they will affect the Company. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Cadence Bank and Subsidiaries
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with instructions to the SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X; therefore,
they do not include all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. All adjustments consisting of normally recurring
accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by this report have been included. These interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2025. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company and its subsidiaries follow GAAP, including, where applicable, general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assessment of whether or not the Company has a controlling interest (i.e., the primary beneficiary) in a VIE is
performed on an on-going basis. All equity investments in non-consolidated VIEs are included in “other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (see Note 17 for more information).
Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation. These reclassifications did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In accordance with GAAP, the Company’s management evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through the date of the issuance
of the consolidated financial statements (See Note 18 for more information).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2023-05
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. The
ASU applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary. The amendments in the ASU require that a newly formed joint venture, upon formation,
would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The ASU allows a joint venture to apply measurement period guidance in
accordance with ASC 805-10, allowing the amounts recognized upon formation to be adjusted for provisional items during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the formation date.
The ASU does not amend the definition of a joint venture, the existing guidance for the accounting by an equity method investor for its investment in a joint venture, or the accounting by a
joint venture for contributions received subsequent to formation.
The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. A joint venture that was formed before the
effective date of the ASU may elect to apply the amendments retrospectively if it has sufficient information. There was no impact from this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2023-08
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto
Assets. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The
amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period.
13
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and
annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If amendments are adopted in an interim period, they must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. There was
no impact from this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2023-09
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve
the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other
amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made
available for issuance. As this guidance is solely disclosure related, there will be no quantitative impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-01
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which
provides four cases illustrating the scope application of Topic 718 for profits interest awards. Determining whether a profits interest award should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement or other compensation requires judgement
based on the facts and circumstances of the specific transaction. The illustrative example includes four fact patterns to demonstrate how an entity would apply the scope guidance in Topic 718 to determine whether profits interest awards should
be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718.
The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and
annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to profits,
interest, and similar awards grated or modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. There was no impact from this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-02
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements--Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, which contains
amendments that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide
guidance in certain topical areas. Generally, the amendments are not intended to result in significant accounting change for most entities. However, the FASB recognized that changes to that guidance may result in accounting change for some
entities. Therefore, the FASB provided transition guidance for all the amendments in this Update.
These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early application of the amendments is permitted for all entities, for any fiscal
year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes
that interim period. There was no significant impact from this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2025-02
In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-02, Liabilities (Topic 405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122 to
remove SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122, Accounting for Obligations To Safeguard Crypto-Assets an Entity Holds for Its Platform Users. The amendments are effective immediately. There was no
impact from this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
14
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2023-06
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and
Simplification Initiative, that incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of
a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification
with the SEC’s regulations.
The ASU modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. The requirements are relatively narrow in nature. Some of the amendments represent
clarifications to, or technical corrections of, the current requirements.
The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from
its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. As this guidance is solely disclosure related, the Company does not anticipate any quantitative impact to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-03
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures in the note to the financial statements regarding specific expenses. The amendments do not change or remove existing disclosure requirements. The amendments
improve disclosure requirements through enhanced expense disaggregation.
The amendments require disclosures in each interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments are effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective adoption is required, however an entity may choose to adopt retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. As this guidance is solely disclosure related, the Company does not anticipate any
quantitative impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-04
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt
Instruments, which clarifies requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not
currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion.
The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period for all entities
that have adopted ASU 2020-06. If an entity adopts ASU No. 2024-04 in an interim reporting period, it should adopt it as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company does not
anticipate any impact from this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2025-01
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Clarifying the Effective Date to clarify the interim effective date for ASU 2024-03 for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31. The amendments are effective for fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Since Company’s fiscal year-end and the calendar year-end are the same, the Company does not anticipate that these amendments will have any effect on Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
15
ASU No. 2025-03
In May, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the
Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity to clarify the guidance to determine the accounting acquirer for transactions in which the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. The amendments are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted in reporting periods in which financial statements have not been issued. If the amendment are adopted in an interim period, they should be adopted as of the
beginning the interim period or annual period. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis to transactions whose closing dates occurs after adoption of the amendments. The Company does not anticipate that these amendments will
have any effect on Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2025-04
In May, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer to clarify the timing to recognize revenue for entities that offer share-based consideration to customers to incentivize the customers to purchase its goods or
services. The amendments are effective for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual period in which financial
statements have not yet been issued. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim reporting period, it should adopt it as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company does not
anticipate that these amendments will have any effect on Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
FCB Financial Corp.
On May 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of FCB Financial Corp. (“FCB Financial”), the bank holding company for FCB (collectively referred to as “First Chatham”), pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2025 by and between the Company and FCB Financial (the “FCB Merger Agreement”). Upon the completion of the merger of FCB Financial with and into the Company, FCB, FCB Financials’
wholly-owned banking subsidiary, was merged with and into the Company. First Chatham was a Savannah, Georgia-based community bank operating eight branches across the Greater Savannah Area. Under the terms of the FCB Merger Agreement, the
Company issued 2.3 million shares of common stock and paid $23.1 million in cash for all outstanding shares of First Chatham. The purchase price allocation and certain fair value measurements, as well as the evaluation of the tax
positions of the merger, remain in the early stages of management’s review due to the timing of the closing of the merger and are subject to potential changes.
The following table presents the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on the acquisition date of May 1, 2025 for First Chatham, showing the estimated fair value as adjusted
during the measurement period (in thousands):

The following is a description of the methods used to estimate the fair values of significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed above.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these
assets.
Securities available for sale: Fair values for securities were based on sales prices of the securities shortly after the merger’s close date.
Loans: Fair values for loans were estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology (income approach) that considered factors including loan
type and related collateral, classification status, remaining term of the loan (in months), fixed or variable interest rate, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, LTV, and current discount
rates. The discount rate did not include an explicit factor for credit losses, as it was included as a reduction to the estimated cash flows. Large loans were specifically reviewed to evaluate credit risk. Additionally, PCD loans that
were determined to have more-than-insignificant deterioration were generally identified by the delinquency status, risk rating changes, credit rating, accruing status or other indicators of credit deterioration since origination. Loans
were valued individually although multiple inputs were applied to loans with similar characteristics as appropriate. These factors resulted in an $8.9 million fair value net discount to loans, which will be accreted over the remaining
life of each loan. The book value of the acquired loans was $387.3 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses: The ACL of $8.1 million was recorded on the identified PCD loans in accordance with ASC 326. An ACL of $4.2 million
was recorded on non-PCD loans and reported as provision expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
While there were significant similarities in the application of ASC 326 by Cadence and First Chatham, steps were taken by management to align the First Chatham process to ensure that the
ACL reported at the time of the First Chatham merger in the table above and in all subsequent reporting periods is consistent with the ACL policies as outlined in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated
financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses. These steps included conforming certain First Chatham assumptions (e.g., the reasonable and supportable
forecast of future economic conditions and the reasonable and supportable forecast period, among others) to that of Cadence.
Intangible assets: Core deposit intangible asset represents the value of the relationships with deposit clients. The fair value for the core
deposit intangible asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected client attrition rates, net maintenance cost of the deposit base, alternative costs of funds, and the
interest costs associated with the client deposits. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years utilizing an accelerated method.
ROU Assets and Lease Liabilities: ROU assets and lease liabilities were measured using a methodology that involved estimating the future rental
payments over the remaining lease term with discounting using a fully-collateralized discount rate. The lease term was determined for individual leases based on management’s assessment of the probability of exercising existing renewal
options. Adjustments for any off-market terms in a lease were also discounted and applied to the balance of the lease asset.
Premises: Land and buildings held for use were valued at appraised values, which reflect considerations of recent disposition values for similar
property types with adjustments for characteristics of individual properties.
Deposits: The fair values used for the demand and savings deposits by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. Fair
values for time deposits were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis applying the prevailing market interest rates currently offered to the contractual interest rates on such time deposits.
Borrowings: The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures were estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The valuation took into
consideration comparable market rates and management’s execution of the call option in the first available period. The finalization of these analyses through the measurement period is not expected to significantly impact the income
statement.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, as if First Chatham had been acquired
on January 1, 2024. The pro forma results combine the historical results of First Chatham into the Company’s consolidated income statements including the impact of certain acquisition accounting adjustments including loan discount
accretion, investment securities discount accretion, intangible assets amortization and deposit premium accretion. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what would
have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2024. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, provision for credit losses, expense efficiencies or asset
dispositions.

transactions, including legal, accounting and auditing, investment banker fees, certain employment related costs, travel, printing, supplies, and other costs.

Management evaluates available for sale securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is attributable to credit-related factors or noncredit-related
factors. Credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous tables are
due to noncredit-related factors, such as changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded related to these securities at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Additionally,
as of June 30, 2025 management had no intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of costs. The fair value of these securities is
expected to recover as they approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.
Reported in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, equity investments with readily determinable fair values not held for trading are recorded at fair value,
with changes in fair value reported in net income. Additionally, the Company reports equity investments without readily determinable fair values in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These investments
include investments in the common stock of the FHLB of Dallas and the FRB of St. Louis. The Company is required to own stock in the FHLB of Dallas for membership in the FHLB system and in relation to the level of FHLB advances. The
Company is also required to purchase and hold shares of capital stock in the FRB of St. Louis for membership in the Federal Reserve System. The Company accounts for these investments as long-term assets and carries them at cost.
During the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no downward or upward adjustments to these investments for impairments or price changes from observable transactions.

The Company engages in lending to consumers, small and medium-sized business enterprises, and government entities through its community banking locations and to regional and national
business enterprises through its corporate banking division. The bank acts as agent or participant in SNC and other financing arrangements with other financial institutions. Loans are issued generally to finance home purchases and
improvements, personal expenditures, business investment and operations, construction and development, and income producing properties. Loans are underwritten to be repaid primarily by available cash flow from personal income, investment
income, business operations, rental income, or the sale of developed or constructed properties. Collateral and personal guaranties of business owners are generally required as a condition of the financing arrangements and provide
additional cash flow and proceeds from asset sales of guarantors in the event primary sources of repayment are no longer sufficient.
While loans are structured to provide protection to the Company if borrowers are unable to repay as agreed, the Company recognizes there are numerous risks that may result in
deterioration of the repayment ability of borrowers and guarantors. These risks include failure of business operations due to economic, legal, market, logistical, weather, health, governmental and force
majeure events. Concentrations in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio also present credit risks. The impact of a slowing economy, inflation, higher interest rates, and labor and supply chain shortages, poses additional risk
to borrowers and financial institutions. As a result of these factors, there is risk for businesses to experience difficulty in meeting repayment obligations, and the Company may experience losses or deterioration in performance in its
loan portfolio. For information regarding nonaccrual policies, past-dues or delinquency status, and recognizing write-offs within ACL, refer to “Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in Part II., Item 8 of the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has identified the following segments and classes of loans and leases with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses:
Commercial and Industrial
Non-Real Estate – Commercial and industrial loans are loans and leases to finance business operations, equipment and owner-occupied facilities
for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger corporate borrowers. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal and/or corporate guarantees are
generally obtained where available and prudent. This category also includes loans to finance agricultural production. The Company recognizes risk from economic cycles, commodity prices, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions,
product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to fraud, theft or embezzlement, loss of sponsor support, health or loss of key personnel or competitive situations may adversely affect the
scheduled repayment of business loans. In addition, risks in the agricultural sector including crop failures due to weather, insects and other blights, commodity prices, governmental intervention, lawsuits, labor or logistical
disruptions.
22
Owner Occupied – Owner occupied loans include loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment and owner-occupied
facilities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal guarantees, if applicable, are generally required for
these loans. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or
embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.
Commercial Real Estate
Construction, Acquisition and Development – CAD loans include both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing, carrying, and developing
land into residential subdivisions or various types of commercial developments, such as industrial, warehouse, retail, office, and multi-family. This category also includes loans and credit lines for construction of residential,
multi-family and commercial buildings. The Company generally engages in CAD lending primarily in local markets served by its branches. The Company recognizes that risks are inherent in the financing of real estate development and
construction. These risks include location, market conditions and price volatility, change in interest rates, demand for developed land, lots and buildings, desirability of features and styling of completed developments and buildings,
competition from other developments and builders, traffic patterns, remote work patterns, governmental jurisdiction, tax structure, availability of utilities, roads, public transportation and schools, availability of permanent financing
for homebuyers, zoning, environmental restrictions, lawsuits, economic and business cycle, labor, and reputation of the builder or developer.
Each CAD loan is underwritten to address: (i) the desirability of the project, its market viability and projected absorption period; (ii) the creditworthiness of the borrower and the
guarantor as to liquidity, cash flow and assets available to ensure performance of the loan; (iii) equity contribution to the project; (iv) the developer’s experience and success with similar projects; and (v) the value of the collateral.
A substantial portion of CAD loans are secured by real estate in markets in which the Company is located. The Company’s loan policy generally prohibits loans for the sole purpose of
carrying interest reserves. Certain of the construction, acquisition and development loans were structured with interest-only terms. A portion of the residential mortgage and CRE portfolios were originated through the permanent financing
of construction, acquisition and development loans. Higher interest rates and the potential for slowing economic conditions could negatively impact borrowers’ and guarantors’ ability to repay their debt which would make more of the
Company’s loans collateral-dependent.
Income Producing – CRE loans include loans to finance income-producing commercial and multi-family properties. Lending in this category is
generally limited to properties located in the Company’s market area with only limited exposure to properties located elsewhere but owned by in-market borrowers. Loans in this category include loans for neighborhood retail centers,
medical and professional offices, single retail stores, industrials and apartments leased generally to local businesses and residents. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the occupancy and rental rates as well as the
financial health of the borrower. The Company’s exposure to national retail tenants is limited. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, government restrictions, delayed or missed rent payments, supply-chain disruptions,
operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.
Consumer
Residential Mortgages – Residential mortgages are first or second-lien loans to consumers secured by a primary residence or second home. This
category includes traditional mortgages, home equity loans and revolving lines of credit. The loans are generally secured by properties located within the local market area of the community bank which originates and services the loan.
These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company’s general loan policies and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit history, and property
value. In addition to loans originated through the Company’s branches, the Company originates and services residential mortgages sold in the secondary market which are underwritten and closed pursuant to investor and agency guidelines. At
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, residential mortgage loans in process of foreclosure totaled $14.4 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company held $6.9 million and $4.4 million in foreclosed residential
properties at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
23
Other Consumer – Other consumer lending includes consumer credit cards as well as personal revolving lines of credit and installment loans. The
Company offers credit cards, primarily to its deposit and loan customers. Consumer installment loans generally includes term loans secured by automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles.
The Company recognizes there are risks in consumer lending which include interruptions in the borrower’s personal and investment income due to loss of employment, market conditions, and
general economic conditions, deterioration in the health and well-being of the borrower and family members, natural disasters, lawsuits, losses, or inability to generate income due to injury, accidents, theft, vandalism, or
incarceration.

The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system that is continually updated to grade loans according to certain credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators
include, but are not limited to, recent credit performance, delinquency, liquidity, cash flows, debt coverage ratios, collateral type and loan-to-value ratio. The Company’s internal loan classification system is compatible with
classifications used by regulatory agencies. Loans may be classified as follows:
Pass: Loans which are performing as agreed with few or no signs of weakness. These loans show sufficient cash flow, capital and collateral to repay the loan as agreed.
Special Mention: Loans where potential weaknesses have developed which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.
Substandard: Loans where well-defined weaknesses exist that require corrective action to prevent further deterioration. Loans are further characterized by the possibility that the Company
will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans having all the characteristics of Substandard and which have deteriorated to a point where collection and liquidation in full is highly questionable.
Loss: Loans that are considered uncollectible or with limited possible recovery.
Impaired: An internal grade for individually analyzed collateral-dependent loans for which a specific provision has been considered to address the unsupported exposure.
PCD (Loss): An internal grade for loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination that are acquired, and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the bank
will be unable to collect all contractually required payments.
The following tables provide details of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio, net of unearned income, by segment, class and internally assigned grade at the periods indicated:

The Company’s collateral-dependent loans totaled $55.7 million and $81.8 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Typically these loans are internally
classified as “Impaired” and “PCD Loss.” At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $8.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of these loans were classified as doubtful. At June 30, 2025, most of these loans are within the
non-real estate class. Additionally, there were smaller amounts of these loans in the owner occupied, income producing, CAD, and residential mortgages classes. C&I loans are typically supported by collateral such as real
estate, receivables, equipment, inventory, or by an enterprise valuation. Loans within the CRE and Consumer segments are generally secured by commercial and residential real estate.
Loans of $1.5 million or greater are considered for specific provision when management has determined based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company
will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note and that the loan is collateral-dependent. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $42.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively, of
collateral-dependent loans had a valuation allowance of $11.9 million and $17.3 million, respectively. The remaining balance of collateral-dependent loans of $13.5 million and $22.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, respectively, have sufficient collateral supporting the collection of all contractual principal and interest or were charged down to the underlying collateral’s fair value, less estimated selling costs. Therefore, such
loans did not have an associated valuation allowance.
NPLs consist of nonaccrual loans and leases. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, NPLs totaled $231.2 million and $264.7 million, respectively. Within the NPL balance,
$94.0 million of the June 30, 2025 balance and $89.9 million of the December 31, 2024 balance is covered by government guarantees from the SBA, FHA, VA or USDA.
The Company’s policy for all loan classifications provides that loans and leases are generally placed in nonaccrual status if, in management’s opinion, payment in full of
principal or interest is not expected, unless such loan or lease is both well-secured and in the process of collection.

In the ordinary course of business, management may grant concessions, which would not otherwise be considered, to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. Loans
identified as meeting the criteria under ASC 310 are identified as FDM. Any modification, renewal or forbearance on loans assigned a rating of “Special Mention” or worse, and loans of any rating which show evidence of financial
difficulty is reviewed to determine whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and if so, which terms of the loan were modified. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is modified via
forgiveness of principal, reduction in interest rate to a rate below current market rates for issuance, payment extension or deferral for greater than six months (including extensions granted in the past 12 months), term or maturity
date extension, or combination of these specific modification terms, the modification requires disclosure.
Under general loan modification guidance, a modification is treated as a new loan only if both of the following conditions are met: 1) the terms of the new loan are at least as
favorable to the lender as the terms for comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks, and 2) modifications to the terms of the original loan are more than minor. If either condition is not met, the modification
is accounted for as the continuation of the old loan with any effect of the modification treated as a prospective adjustment to the loan’s EIR. Modifications in scope for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include
principal forgiveness, other-than-insignificant payment delay, interest rate reduction, or a combination of modifications. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the most common individual concessions were related to term
extensions and payment deferrals. Other concessions included interest rate reductions. At June 30, 2025, the Company has an outstanding unfunded commitment balance of $16.3 million to lend to three borrowers experiencing financial
difficulty.
Upon determination by the Company that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is charged off. The
amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL is adjusted by this amount.

The following tables presents loans that were modified within the past three and six months for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by segment and class, as well as the
percentage of these modified loans compared to overall loans in each segment and class, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, three C&I non-real estate loans totaling $1.1 million had a payment default that was previously modified in the prior 12
months by receiving a combination term extension and interest rate reduction.
The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification
efforts. Loans are considered to be in payment default at 90 or more days past due. The following table depicts the performance of loans that have been modified in the last 12 months:

The economic impact of persistent inflation, higher interest rates, volatility in the financial markets, and the potential for a slowing economy poses additional risk to borrowers
and financial institutions. These factors add to the risk borrowers may experience difficulty in meeting repayment obligations, and the Company may experience losses or deterioration in the performance of its loan portfolio.
36
The ACL estimate is impacted by both loan portfolio changes and prevailing economic conditions during the reporting period. The unemployment rate has the highest weighting within the
Company’s credit risk modeling framework. Economic forecasts, which are obtained from multiple sources, provide upside, downside, and base case scenarios over an eight-quarter forecast horizon to establish a forecast range. Management
considers the scenarios and selects a blended scenario which, in management’s opinion, reflects likely economic conditions within that range. The Company recognizes that inflation, higher interest rates and a slowing economy may have
short-term, long-term, and regional impacts to the economy. In addition, qualitative factors such as changes in economic conditions, concentrations of risk, and changes in portfolio risk resulting from regulatory changes are
considered in determining the adequacy of the level of the ACL.

Federal funds purchased generally mature the business day following the date of purchase. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had established non-binding federal funds
borrowing lines of credit with other banks aggregating $2.1 billion, for both periods. Additionally, the Company maintains access to the FRB discount window borrowings which generally mature within 90 days and are collateralized by
$2.0 billion in commercial, agriculture, and consumer loans pledged under a borrower-in-custody agreement as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings from the FRB discount window.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements generally mature within one day from the date of sale. The Company monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and may be required to
provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Collateral pledged pursuant to these repurchase agreements can include MBS issued or guaranteed by
U.S. agencies, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities.
The BTFP was created by the Federal Reserve to support businesses and households by making additional funding available to eligible financial institutions to help assure they have the
ability to meet the needs of their depositors. The BTFP offered loans of up to one year in length to banks and other qualifying institutions pledging any collateral eligible for purchase by the FRB. The collateral was valued at its
par amount and consisted primarily of MBS and U.S. government agency securities. Cadence’s BTFP borrowing was paid off during the fourth quarter of 2024. The BTFP ceased making new loans in March 2024.
37
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a balance of $1.4 billion and $706 thousand, respectively, of long-term advances from the FHLB of Dallas. During the first
half of 2025, the Company entered into $1.4 billion of long-term advances from the FHLB of Dallas with various interest rates ranging from 3.897% to 4.219% with maturities beginning in September 2026 through April 2027. In addition,
the Company obtained $12.4 million of junior subordinated debt in the First Chatham acquisition. This FCB subordinated debt as well as $10.0 million of 5.000% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes were paid off in June 2025.
All borrowings from the FHLB are collateralized by commercial and residential real estate loans pledged under a blanket floating lien security agreement with the FHLB of Dallas. Under
the terms of this agreement, the Company is required to maintain sufficient collateral to secure borrowings in an aggregate amount of the lesser of the book value (i.e., unpaid principal balance), after applicable FHLB discounts, of
the Company’s eligible commercial and residential real estate loans pledged as collateral, or 35% of the Company’s assets. Loans totaling $25.8 billion and $24.4 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were
pledged to the FHLB of Dallas. At June 30, 2025, the remaining borrowing availability totaled $10.1 billion. At June 30, 2025, there were no call features on long-term FHLB borrowings. Short-term FHLB borrowings mature within one year
following the date of the advance.
The FHLB of Dallas has also issued irrevocable letters of credit totaling $47.5 million at June 30, 2025 on behalf of our customers. Of the total amount, $26.7 million expires on
December 17, 2025 and $20.8 million expires on January 30, 2026.

NOTE 8. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The MSR, which are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold on a servicing retained basis, is recorded at fair value as determined at each
accounting period end and reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. An estimate of the fair value of the Company’s MSR is determined utilizing assumptions such as mortgage interest rates, discount rates, mortgage
loan prepayment speeds, market trends and industry demand. Data and assumptions used in the fair value calculation related to the MSR were as follows:

Because the valuation is determined by using discounted cash flow models, the primary risk inherent in valuing the MSR is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the estimated
life of the servicing revenue stream. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different fair values. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an economic hedge in place designed to cover 75.1% and 75.3% of the
MSR interest rate risk, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the hedge covered 75.1% of the MSR interest rate risk (see Note 15 for additional information). The Company is susceptible to fluctuations in the fair value of its MSR in
changing interest rate environments.

Level 3 financial instruments typically include unobservable components but may also include some observable components that may be validated against external sources. The table below
includes a roll forward of the consolidated balance sheet amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, for changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy
that are recorded on a recurring basis. The gains or (losses) in the following table (which are reported in Other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income) may include changes to fair value due, in part, to
observable factors that may be part of the valuation methodology.

Fair Value Option
The Company elected to measure commercial real estate loans held for sale and commercial and industrial loans held for sale under the fair value option. Included in these loans are
loans guaranteed by the SBA and loans related to syndications. Due to the short duration that these instruments remain on the balance sheet, the Company assumes that cost approximates fair value.
The Company also elected to measure residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The election allows for effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and
the derivative instruments used to hedge them. Included in the residential mortgage loans held for sale portfolio are certain previously sold GNMA loans. Under ASC 860-10-40, certain GNMA loans will not meet sale criteria due to the
conditional buyback option becoming unconditional - typically when loans become 90 or more days delinquent. The Company records these loans at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with an offsetting liability. The Company
assumed the cost approximates the fair value. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the GNMA loans totaled $62.9 million and $69.0 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale:

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value o a Nonrecurring Basis
From time to time, the Company may be required to measure certain financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These
adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or from write-downs of individual assets. The following tables present the balances of assets measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis:

Certain assets and liabilities subject to fair value disclosure requirements are not actively traded, requiring management to estimate the fair value. These
estimations necessarily require judgement to be applied to the reasonableness and relevancy of comparable market prices, expected future cash flows, and appropriate discount rates.
The short-term nature of certain assets and liabilities result in their carrying value approximating fair value. They include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits
with other banks and Federal funds sold, accrued interest receivable, non-time deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, short-term and long-term FHLB borrowings and accrued interest
payable.

NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), Cadence Bank Equity Incentive Plan for Non Employee Directors, 2021 Long-Term Equity
Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan” assumed from Legacy Cadence) were effective during the year ended December 31, 2024, and allowed the Company to grant to employees and
directors various forms of share-based incentive compensation. On December 30, 2024, the Cadence Bank 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“the 2025 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 2025 Plan took effect as of
December 30, 2024 and supersedes all four of the incentive plans previously mentioned.
47
The Company has primarily granted PSUs, RSUs and RSAs under its equity incentive plans. PSUs entitle the recipient to receive shares of the Company’s common
stock upon the achievement of performance goals that are specified in the award over a performance period. The recipient of PSUs is not treated as a shareholder of the Company and is not entitled to vote or receive dividends until
the performance conditions stated in the award are satisfied and the shares of stock are issued to the recipient. Dividend equivalents on the shares vested according to the performance conditions are paid upon issuance of the
stock. All PSUs vest over a three-year period and are valued at the fair value of the Company’s stock at the grant date based upon the estimated number of shares expected to vest through the application of a lattice model. RSUs
entitle the recipient to receive the shares once they are vested but with no voting rights until the shares are received. RSUs generally vest over four- to five-year periods and are eligible to receive dividend equivalents, which
accrue and are paid upon vesting. RSAs entitle the recipient to vote the shares of stock but the recipient does not receive the shares until they are fully vested. RSA grants vest over five- to seven-year periods and are entitled
to receive dividends.
For more information, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDEND DATA
Basic and diluted EPS are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic EPS
computation plus the shares resulting from the assumed exercise of all outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method. There were 444 and 129,978 antidilutive equity awards excluded from dilutive shares for the
three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were 222 and 124,419 antidilutive equity awards excluded from dilutive shares for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE 13. CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Regulatory capital ratios at June
30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were calculated in accordance with the Basel III capital framework as well as the interagency final rule published on September 30, 2020 entitled “Revised Transition of the Current Expected Credit
Losses Methodology for Allowances.” 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 adverse
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures are established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy and require the Company to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios.
50
Additionally, regulatory capital rules include a capital conservation buffer which the Company must maintain in addition to its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer applies to all three
risk-based capital measurements (CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets). A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions,
including dividend payments, stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.
The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company are presented in the following tables and as shown, exceed the thresholds necessary to be considered “well capitalized.” Management believes that no
events or changes have occurred subsequent to the indicated dates that would change this designation.

The additional capital conservation buffer in effect was 2.5%.

On April 25, 2025, the Company announced a share repurchase program whereby the Company may acquire up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at prevailing market
prices or in privately negotiated transactions. No shares had been purchased by the Company under this repurchase program as of June 30, 2025.
The extent and timing of any repurchases depends on market conditions and other corporate, legal and regulatory considerations. Repurchased shares are held as authorized and unissued shares. These
authorized but unissued shares are available for use in the Company’s stock compensation programs, other transactions, or for other corporate purposes as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Federal and state banking laws and regulations and state corporate laws restrict the amount of dividends that the Company may declare and pay. Under Mississippi law, the Company cannot pay any dividend on
its common stock unless it has received written approval of the Commissioner of the MDBCF. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level
would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Federal Reserve must approve any dividend that exceeds the Company’s current year’s net income plus its retained net income from the prior two calendar years.
NOTE 14. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company determines operating segments based upon the services offered, the significance of those services to the Company's financial condition and operating results, and management's regular review of
the operating results of those services. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s CEO. The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a robust process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements
are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised. Cadence makes operating decisions based on the following operating segments, as described below.
51
| • |
Corporate Banking segment focuses on C&I, business banking, and commercial real estate lending to clients in the geographic footprint.
|
| • |
Community Banking segment provides a broad range of banking services through the branch network to serve the needs of community businesses and individual consumers in the geographic footprint.
|
| • |
Mortgage segment includes mortgage banking activities of originating mortgage loans, selling mortgage loans in the secondary market and servicing the mortgage loans that are sold on a servicing retained basis.
|
| • |
Banking Services segment offers individuals, businesses, governmental institutions, and non-profit entities a wide range of solutions to help protect, grow, and transfer wealth. Offerings include credit-related products
via Private Banking services, trust and investment management, asset management, retirement and savings solutions, estate planning and annuity products.
|
| • |
General Corporate and Other segment includes other activities not allocated to other aforementioned operating segments. Additionally, intercompany eliminations are included as they do not reflect normal operations of the
other segments. The disaggregation of General Corporate and Other better defines the results from the individual segments due to the direct relationship of the internal support provided by the strategic business units within
the Bank.
|
Results of operations and selected financial information by operating segment for periods indicated are presented in the following tables. The tables show total noninterest income segregated between
contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and those within the scope of other GAAP Topics. Additionally, with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the tables show significant segment
expenses within total noninterest expense used by the CODM to assess the performance of each segment.

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company primarily uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management
objectives. Management may designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship. The Company’s derivative instruments consist of economic hedges for which the Company has elected not to
apply hedge accounting and derivatives held for customer accommodation, or other purposes.
The fair value of outstanding derivative positions is included in other assets and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the net change in each of these financial
statement line items in the operating section of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments or determined to be an ineffective hedge under applicable accounting
guidance, gains and losses due to changes in fair value are included in noninterest income and the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments, the
entire change in the fair value related to the derivative instrument is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income when the forecasted transaction affects income. At
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no derivatives designated under hedge accounting. The notional amounts and estimated fair values for the periods indicated were as follows:

The Company is party to collateral support agreements with certain derivative counterparties. Such agreements require that the Company maintain collateral based on the fair values of derivative
transactions. In the event of default by the Company, the counterparty would be entitled to the collateral. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company was required to post $68.1 million and $60.9 million, respectively, in
cash or qualifying securities as collateral for its derivative transactions, and these amounts were included in interest bearing deposits with other banks for the periods indicated. In addition, the Company had recorded the
obligation to return cash collateral provided by counterparties of $3.6 million and $23.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, within deposits on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Certain financial
instruments, such as derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with upstream financial
institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases, there is generally a legally enforceable right to
offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Nonetheless, the Company does not generally offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.
The Company enters into certain interest rate contracts on commercial loans, which include swaps, floors, caps and collars that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts
relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate contract with a loan customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate contract with another financial institution. In connection with
each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same
time, the Company agrees to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The interest rate swap, floor, cap and
collar transactions allow the Company to manage its IRR. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for its customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts generally offset and do not significantly
impact the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the parties to the interest rate contracts. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by
the counterparties. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets totaled $32.3 million and $30.6 million, respectively. The corresponding fair value
recorded in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled $41.8 million and $45.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company has both bought and sold credit protection in the form of participations on interest rate swaps (swap participations). These swap participations, which meet the definition of credit
derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to serve the credit needs of customers. Swap participations, whereby the Company has purchased credit protection, entitle the Company to receive a payment from the
counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the Company upon early termination of the swap transaction. For contracts where the Company sold credit protection, the Company would be required to make
payment to the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the counterparty upon early termination of the swap transaction. Swap participation agreements where the Company is the beneficiary had notional
values totaling $212.1 million and $205.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Swap participation agreements where the Company is the guarantor had notional values totaling $469.4 million and $443.0 million
at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
57
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with customers in connection with residential mortgage loan applications for loans the Company intends to sell. Additionally, the Company enters into
mortgage loan forward sales commitments of MBS with investors to mitigate the effect of IRR inherent in providing interest rate lock commitments to customers. Both the interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loan forward sales
commitments are considered derivatives under current accounting guidance and are required to be recorded at fair value. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other
liabilities. The change in fair value of these instruments is recorded within mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, mortgage loans held for sale interest
rate lock commitments and mortgage loan forward sales commitments totaled $1.5 million in gains compared to $0.2 million in losses, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, mortgage loans held for sale interest
rate lock commitments and mortgage loan forward sales commitment gains totaled $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
The Company has an economic hedge in place on its MSR and uses various instruments (including but not limited to Treasury options, SOFR and TBA futures and forwards) to mitigate the IRR associated with
the MSR. These hedging instruments are reported at fair value, with adjustments included as part of mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the market value
adjustment on MSR hedge totaled
$1.1 million in net gains compared to $1.9 million in net losses, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the market value adjustment on MSR hedge totaled $4.4 million in net gains
million compared to $6.7 million in net losses, respectively. See Note 8 for additional information.
The Company enters into certain foreign currency exchange contracts on behalf of its clients to facilitate their risk management strategies, while at the same time entering into offsetting foreign
currency exchange contracts with another counterparty in order to minimize the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk. The contracts are short term in nature, and any gain or loss incurred at settlement is recorded in other
noninterest income. The fair value of these contracts is reported in other assets and other liabilities. Foreign exchange contract net gains totaled $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, and net gains of $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Mortgage Loans Serviced for Others
The Company services mortgage loans for other financial institutions that are not included as assets in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements. Included in the $8.2 billion and $8.0
billion of mortgage loans serviced for investors at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, was $0.6 million of primary recourse servicing pursuant to which the Company is responsible for any losses incurred in the event of
nonperformance by the mortgagor. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of such nonperformance is the unpaid principal balance at the time of default. This exposure is limited by the underlying collateral, which consists
of single family residences and either federal or private mortgage insurance.
Lending Commitments
The consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business in the banking industry and involve elements of credit
risk, IRR, and liquidity risk. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these included $467.3 million and $448.9 million, respectively, in letters of credit and $9.1 billion
and $8.6 billion, respectively, in unfunded extensions of credit such as interim mortgage financing, construction credit, credit card, and revolving line of credit arrangements.
Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. In addition, the Company has entered into certain contingent commitments to grant loans. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit policies and procedures for such commitments are the same as those used for lending activities. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates and because a
number expire without being drawn upon, they generally do not present any significant liquidity risk. The Company did not realize significant credit losses from these commitments and arrangements during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024.
58
Other Commitments
The Company makes investments in limited partnerships, including certain affordable housing partnerships for which it receives tax credits. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
unfunded capital commitments totaled $266.5 million and $277.4 million, respectively. See Note 17 for more information.
Litigation
The nature of the Company’s business ordinarily results in certain types of claims, litigation, investigations, and other legal or administrative cases and proceedings. Although the Company and its
subsidiaries have policies and procedures to minimize legal noncompliance and the impact of claims and other proceedings, and endeavored to procure reasonable insurance coverage, litigation and regulatory actions remain an ongoing
risk.
The Company and its subsidiaries engage in lines of business that are heavily regulated and involve a large volume of actual or potential financial transactions with customers or applicants, and the
Company is a public company with a large number of shareholders. From time to time, applicants, borrowers, customers, shareholders, former employees, service providers, and other third parties have brought actions against the Company
or its subsidiaries, in certain cases claiming substantial damages. Financial services companies are subject to risks arising from changing regulatory frameworks or expectations, regulatory investigations, class action litigation,
and, from time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries have such actions brought against them. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to enforcement actions by federal or state regulators, including the Federal Reserve,
the CFPB, the DOJ, state attorneys general, and the MDBCF, which may be adversely impacted by ongoing litigation in which the Company is involved. Additionally, the Company is, and management expects it to be, engaged in a number of
foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its lending and leasing collections activities, which, from time to time, have resulted in counterclaims against the Company and its subsidiaries. Various legal
proceedings have and may arise in the future out of claims against entities to which the Company is a successor as a result of business combinations.
When and as the Company determines it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends against such claims. The Company will consider settlement of claims when, in management’s
judgment and in consultation with counsel, it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.
The Company cannot predict with certainty the cost of defense, the cost of prosecution, or the ultimate outcome of litigation or other proceedings filed by or against it, its subsidiaries and its
directors, management or employees, including remedies or damage awards. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings as well as certain
threatened claims (which are not considered incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business) utilizing the latest and most reliable information available. For matters where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss
cannot be estimated, the Company will not make an accrual. For matters where it is probable the Company will incur a loss and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company will accrue for the loss. Once established, the accrual
is adjusted periodically to reflect any relevant developments. The actual cost of any such matters, however, may turn out to be substantially higher than the amount accrued. Further, the Company’s insurance policies have deductibles
and coverage limits, and such policies are unlikely to cover all costs and expenses related to the defense or prosecution of such legal proceedings or any losses arising therefrom.
Although the final outcome of any legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on the information available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, if applicable, management believes that
the litigation-related liability of $11.6 million accrued at June 30, 2025 is adequate and that any incremental change in potential liability arising from the Company’s legal proceedings and threatened claims, including the matters
described herein and those otherwise arising in the ordinary course of business, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or consolidated results of operations or financial condition. It is possible, however,
that future developments could result in an unfavorable outcome for or resolution of any one or more of the legal proceedings in which the Company or its subsidiaries are defendants, which may be material to the Company’s business or
consolidated results of operations or financial condition for a particular fiscal period or periods.
On August 30, 2021, Legacy Cadence Bank and the DOJ agreed to a settlement set forth in the consent order related to the investigation by the DOJ of Legacy Cadence Bank’s fair lending
program in Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties located in Houston, Texas during the period between 2014 and 2016 (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order was signed by the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Georgia, Atlanta Division, on August 31, 2021. Pursuant to Section 5.2(g) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Paragraph 50 of the Consent Order, Legacy BancorpSouth Bank approved the negotiated settlement, and subsequently, the
Company agreed to accept the obligations of the Consent Order. At the request of the DOJ, the court terminated the Consent Order on May 29, 2025. For additional information regarding the terms of this settlement and the Consent Order,
see Legacy Cadence’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021.

NOTE 17. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Under ASC 810-10-65, a company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and required to consolidate a VIE if it has a variable interest in the VIE that provides a controlling financial interest. The
determination of whether a controlling financial interest exists is based on whether a single party has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the
obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASC 810-10-65 requires continual reconsideration of conclusions reached regarding which
interest holder is a VIE’s primary beneficiary.
Certain NMTC meet the qualifications for consolidation under ASC 810. Consolidation is applicable to this type of investment structure when the entities owned by the tax credit investment fund, managing
member, and limited partner of the sub-CDE are under common control, and the limited partner’s related party group has both the power and the obligation to absorb the
significant benefits and losses of the sub-CDE. Based on this, the limited partner, which is the Company, is the primary beneficiary of the sub-CDE (VIE) and therefore subject to consolidation. NMTC investment structures which include a managing member not affiliated with the Company are not subject to consolidation.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s assets of the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE totaled $4.7 million and $5.4 million,
respectively.
The Company is invested in several tax credit projects solely as a limited partner. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these limited
partnerships was limited to its investment. Most of the investments are in affordable housing projects. The partnerships have qualified to receive annual affordable housing federal tax credits that are recognized as a reduction of
current tax expense. The Company accounts for these investments and the related tax credits using either the effective yield method or the proportional amortization method, depending upon the date of the investment. Under the
effective yield method, the Company recognizes the tax credits as they are allocated and amortizes the initial costs of the investments to provide a constant effective yield over the period the tax credits are allocated. Under the
proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component
of income tax expense. The Company also has, to a lesser degree, investments in NMTC and historic tax credit projects. The Company has elected to account for the NMTC not subject to consolidation and HTC using the flow-through method,
which reduces federal income taxes in the year in which the credit arises. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded total tax credit investments in other assets on its consolidated balance sheets of $403.2 million
and $387.3 million, respectively.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2023-02 as of January 1, 2024 and determined each investments’ eligibility for proportional amortization. For certain NMTC and HTC investments that do not qualify
for the proportional amortization method under ASU 2023-02, amortization related to these investments are recorded in other noninterest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded amortization of
$0.3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and recorded amortization of $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash flow activity related to these
investments are presented in the net income (loss) line in the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
For the investments that qualify for proportional amortization under ASU 2023-02, the Company recognized income tax credits and other income tax benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $11.6
million and $1.3 million, respectively. The total income tax benefits of $12.9 million are partially offset by $10.2 million of investment amortization recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2025, for a net income tax benefit
of $2.7 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax credits and other income tax benefits of $9.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The total income tax benefits of $10.6 million are
partially offset by $8.4 million of investment amortization recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024, for a net income tax benefit of $2.2 million.
For the investments that qualify for proportional amortization under ASU 2023-02, the Company recognized income tax credits and other income tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $23.2
million and $2.8 million, respectively. The total income tax benefits of $26.0 million are partially offset by $20.6 million of investment amortization recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025, for a net income tax benefit of
$5.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax credits and other income tax benefits of $19.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The total income tax benefits of $22.1 million are
partially offset by $17.6 million of investment amortization recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for a net income tax benefit of $4.5 million.
60
The cash flows related to the total income tax benefits are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The net income tax benefit of $5.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2025 was included in the net income (loss) line within operating activities. Investment amortization of $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was included in the depreciation and amortization line item, which
was an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to cash provided by (used for) operating activities. The income tax credits and other income tax benefits of $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was included in the net
change to other assets or liabilities line item, which was also an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to cash provided by (used for) operating activities.
Additionally, the Company has investments in other certain limited partnerships accounted for under the fair value practical expedient of NAV totaling $133.2 million and $118.7 million
at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Related to assets recorded at fair value through net income, the Company recognized net gains of $4.5 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively. These investments are made primarily through various SBIC funds as a strategy to provide expansion and growth opportunities to small businesses and community development funds to help serve the credit needs of the low- and
moderate-income and underserved communities within our footprint. Of the total fair value of these limited partnerships, $20.0 million and $15.8 million are related to real-estate funds at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
respectively. The remaining $113.2 million and $102.9 million are related to SBIC funds that concentrate in a variety of industries at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, unfunded commitments related to
these investments were $11.1 million and $111.8 million related to the real-estate funds and other SBIC funds, respectively. SBIC funds are generally structured to operate for approximately 10 years. During the life of each SBIC fund,
partners can request to withdraw from the fund, and subsequently receive the balance of their investment as the underlying assets are liquidated over the remaining life of the fund. The Company has no current plans to withdraw from any
of its SBIC funds.
For other limited partnerships without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the practical expedient, Cadence elected the measurement alternative to account for these
investments at their cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments totaled $2.8 million and
$2.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Other limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method totaled $8.8 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Industry Bancshares, Inc. (“Industry”), the bank holding company for Bank of Brenham, Citizens State Bank, Fayetteville Bank,
Industry State Bank, The First National Bank of Bellville and The First National Bank of Shiner (collectively, the “Industry Banks”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated April 25, 2025. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, the Industry Banks were merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity. The Company paid $20 million in cash to Industry’s shareholders. Industry Bancshares reported $4.1
billion in total assets, $1.1 billion in total loans, $2.5 billion in securities and $4.3 billion in total deposits as of June 30, 2025 (unaudited). The purchase price allocation and certain fair value measurements, as well as the
evaluation of the tax positions of the merger, remain in the early stages of management’s review due to the timing of the closing of the merger.
Additionally on July 1, 2025, $1.9 billion of securities acquired from Industry were sold with $1.0 billion of the proceeds redeployed in purchased securities with higher average
earning yields and the remainder deployed to paydown wholesale funding.

| ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|
OVERVIEW
The Company is a regional bank with corporate offices in Houston, Texas and Tupelo, Mississippi with $50.4 billion in total assets at June 30, 2025. The Company has commercial banking
operations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. The Company and its subsidiaries provide commercial banking, leasing, mortgage origination and servicing, brokerage, trust, and
investment advisory services to corporate customers, local governments, individuals, and other financial institutions through an extensive network of branches and offices.
Management’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. For a complete understanding of the following
discussion, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented elsewhere in this Report. Management’s discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A of this
Report and those included in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the other reports we file with the Federal Reserve. This discussion and analysis is based on reported financial information, and certain
amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation.
The financial condition and operating results of the Company are heavily influenced by economic trends nationally and in the specific markets in which the Company’s subsidiaries provide
financial services. Generally, the pressures of the national and regional economic cycle create a difficult operating environment for the financial services industry. During such times, the Company is not immune to pressures and any
economic downturn may have a negative impact on the Company and its customers in all of the markets it serves. Management believes future weakness in the economic environment could adversely affect the strength of the credit quality of
the Company's assets. Therefore, management will continue to focus on early identification and resolution of credit issues.
The largest source of the Company’s revenue is derived from its corporate and community banking operations. The financial condition and operating results of the Company are affected by
the level and volatility of interest rates on loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowed funds, and the impact of economic downturns on loan demand, collateral values, and creditworthiness of existing borrowers. The financial
services industry is highly competitive and heavily regulated. The Company’s success depends on its ability to compete aggressively within its markets while maintaining sufficient asset quality and cost controls to generate net income.
The information that follows is provided to enhance comparability of financial information between periods and to provide a better understanding of the Company’s operations.
Recent Developments
On January 22, 2025, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with FCB Financial Corp., the bank holding company for First Chatham Bank (collectively referred
to as “First Chatham”), pursuant to which First Chatham was merged with and into the Company, effective May 1, 2025. First Chatham was a Savannah, Georgia-based community bank operating eight branches across the Greater Savannah Area.
Pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, the Company issued 2.3 million shares of common stock and paid $23.1 million in cash for all outstanding shares of FCB Financial Corp.
On April 25, 2025, at the Company’s special meeting of shareholders, the holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock approved a proposal amending the Articles of Incorporation to permit
stock repurchases for compliance purposes under Regulation H, which the Company is subject to as a result of becoming a Federal Reserve member bank. On March 26, 2025, the Board declared a special cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of
Preferred Stock payable on May 7, 2025, to the Preferred Stock shareholders of record as of April 30, 2025, that was conditioned on the passage of the proposal at the special meeting.

25, 2025. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Industry Banks were merged with and into the Company. The Company paid $20 million in cash to Industry’s shareholders. Industry Bancshares reported $4.1 billion in total assets,
$1.1 billion in total loans, $2.5 billion in securities, and $4.3 billion in total deposits as of June 30, 2025 (unaudited).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS
In addition to financial ratios based on measures defined by GAAP, the Company has identified “total tangible shareholders’ equity,” “total tangible common shareholders’ equity,” “total
tangible common shareholders’ equity (excluding AOCI),” “total tangible assets,” “total tangible assets (excluding AOCI),” “tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets,” “tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets,”
“tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common book value per share,” and “tangible book value per common share (excluding AOCI)” as non-GAAP financial measures used when evaluating the
performance of the Company.
| • |
Total tangible shareholders’ equity is defined by the Company as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net.
|
| • |
Total tangible common shareholders' equity is defined by the Company as total shareholders' equity less preferred stock, goodwill, and other intangible assets, net.
|
| • |
Total tangible common shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, is defined by the Company as total shareholders' equity less preferred stock, goodwill, other intangible assets, net, and AOCI.
|
| • |
Total tangible assets are defined by the Company as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net.
|
| • |
Total tangible assets, excluding AOCI, are defined by the Company as total assets less goodwill, other intangible assets, net, and AOCI.
|
| • |
Tangible common book value per share is defined by the Company as tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by total shares of common stock outstanding.
|
| • |
Tangible book value per common share, excluding AOCI, is defined by the Company as tangible common shareholders' equity less AOCI divided by total shares of common stock outstanding.
|
Management believes the ratios of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets and tangible common shareholders’ equity to
tangible assets (excluding AOCI) to be important to investors who are interested in evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s capital levels. Management also believes that tangible common book value per share and tangible common book
value per share (excluding AOCI) are important to investors who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

As of June 30, 2025, the federal funds rate held steady at 4.5%. The Federal Reserve continued to hold interest rates steady, after it lowered interest rates by 100 basis points during
the second half of 2024. Additional interest rate reductions may occur during the second half of 2025 as the Federal Reserve continues to monitor relevant economic data and the effects of recently enacted tariffs. The decreases in
interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2024 have had an effect on both our balance sheet as well as our earnings. As seen in the following sections, the increase in net interest revenue resulted from a lower cost on our
interest-bearing liabilities, benefiting from declining deposit costs, and the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and our subordinated debt in 2024. Total average interest-earning assets increased in the second quarter of 2025 as
compared to the same period in 2024, with growth in average loans and investment securities partially offset by lower average other investment balances as the Company used cash flow from these investments to support the payoff of
borrowings. See “Net Interest Revenue” for further information.

The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $129.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $135.1 million for the same period in 2024. Key
factors contributing to the $5.2 million decrease in net income available to common shareholders included: (1) an increase in noninterest expense of $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2025; (2) a decrease in noninterest revenue of
$2.5 million for the second quarter of 2025; and (3) an increase in net interest revenue of $21.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The Company recorded provisions for credit losses of $31.0 million and $22.0 million for three
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net income available to common shareholders of $260.8 million was reported for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $249.7 million for the same period in 2024. Key factors
contributing to the $11.1 million increase in net income available to common shareholders included: (1) an increase in net interest revenue of $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025; (2) a decrease in noninterest revenue
of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025; and (3) an increase in noninterest expense of $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company recorded provisions for credit losses of $51.0 million and $44.0
million for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net interest revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $21.8 million, or 6.1%. Total cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 43 basis points to 3.02% for the
second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, benefiting from declining deposit costs as well as the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and the subordinated debt. Interest expense decreased $28.4 million, or 9.9%, in
the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Average earning assets increased $0.9 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, as growth in average loans of $1.8 billion and
investment securities balances was offset by lower average other investments and as the Company used cash flow from these investments to support the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and subordinated debt. With the completion of the
FCB acquisition in the second quarter of 2025, FCB contributed $567.8 million of interest-earning assets and $383.2 million of interest-bearing liabilities. See Table 4 below for more information on yield/rate analysis.
Net interest revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $31.1 million, or 4.4%. Total cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 43 basis points to 3.00% for the six
months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, benefiting from declining deposit costs as well as the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and the subordinated debt. Interest expense decreased $75.5 million, or 13.3%,
for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. See Table 4 below for more information on yield/rate analysis.
Noninterest revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $98.2 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 2.5%, from the same period in 2024. Noninterest revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2025, was $183.6 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 0.5%, from the same period in 2024. The decrease in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 resulted from a decrease in other
miscellaneous income, which was partially offset by increases in mortgage banking revenue, credit related fees, bank owned life insurance income, SBA income, and wealth management revenue. See “Noninterest Revenue” below for more
information.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 2.4% to $272.9 million from $256.7 million for the same period in 2024. Noninterest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 increased 2.4% to $532.2 million from $519.9 million for the same period in 2024. The quarter over quarter and year over year increases were primarily a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits, legal
expense, and merger expense, which were partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance assessments. See “Noninterest Expense” below for more information.

Net Interest Revenue
Net interest revenue is the difference between interest revenue earned on assets, such as loans, leases and securities, and interest expense paid on liabilities, such as deposits and
borrowings, and continues to provide the Company with its principal source of revenue. Net interest revenue is affected by the general level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. One of the Company’s long-term objectives is to manage interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to maximize net interest revenue, while balancing interest rate,
credit and liquidity risk. Net interest margin is determined by dividing FTE net interest revenue by average earning assets. For purposes of the following discussion, revenue from tax-exempt loans and investment securities have been
adjusted to an FTE basis, using an effective tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Includes taxable equivalent adjustment to interest of $0.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, using an effective tax rate of 21% for all periods presented.
|
| (2) |
Nonaccrual loans are included in loans and leases (net of unearned income). Nonaccrual loans were $231.2 million and $216.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net interest revenue-FTE increased 6.1% to $378.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $357.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in net interest
revenue-FTE resulted from lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities benefiting from declining deposit costs and the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and our subordinated debt since the second quarter of 2024. Average loans
increased from 75.1% of average interest earning assets in the 2024 second quarter to 77.7% in the 2025 second quarter.
69
Interest revenue-FTE decreased 1.0% to $636.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $642.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest revenue-FTE for
the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily a result of lower average other investment balances as the Company used cash flow from these investments to support the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and subordinated debt since
the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was offset by higher average loans and investment securities during the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, interest revenue-FTE included $2.6 million and $3.0 million in accretion related to
the purchase discounts on acquired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest expense decreased 9.9% to $257.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $285.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest expense for
the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the total cost of interest-bearing liabilities declining 43 basis points to 3.02% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.45% for the second quarter of 2024, benefiting from
declining deposit costs as well as the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and the subordinated debt after the second quarter of 2024.
Net interest margin-FTE for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 3.40%, an increase of 13 basis points, from 3.27% for the same period in 2024. Net interest revenue-FTE may also be
analyzed by segregating the yield/rate and volume components of interest revenue and interest expense. The table below presents the components of our net interest revenue-FTE with the effect that the varying levels of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable rates have had on changes in net interest revenue from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025. The changes in net interest revenue-FTE due to both rate and
volume have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

Includes taxable equivalent adjustment to interest of $0.9 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, using an effective tax rate of 21% for all periods presented.
|
| (2) |
Nonaccrual loans are included in loans and leases (net of unearned income). Nonaccrual loans were $231.2 million and $216.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2024,
nonaccrual loans did not include nonaccrual loans held for sale of $2.7 million.

Includes taxable equivalent adjustment to interest of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, using an effective tax rate of 21% for all periods
presented.

Net interest revenue-FTE increased 4.4% to $742.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in net interest
revenue-FTE resulted from lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities benefiting from declining deposit costs and the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and our subordinated debt. Average loans increased from 74.6% of average interest
earning assets in 2024 to 78.6% in 2025.
Interest revenue-FTE decreased 3.5% to $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.3 billion during the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest
revenue-FTE for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a reduction in average balances of other investments and investment securities, as the Company used cash flow from these investments to support the payoffs of both the
BTFP borrowings and subordinated debt. Additionally, interest revenue-FTE included $5.2 million and $6.5 million in accretion related to the purchase discounts on acquired loans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest expense decreased 13.3% to $493.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $569.1 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in
interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily a result of the total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities declining 43 basis points to 3.00% for 2025, compared to 3.43% for the same period in 2024, benefiting
from declining deposit costs as well as the payoffs of both the BTFP borrowings and the subordinated debt.
Net interest margin-FTE for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 3.43%, an increase of 18 basis points, from 3.25% for the same period in 2024. Net interest revenue-FTE
may also be analyzed by segregating the yield/rate and volume components of interest revenue and interest expense. The table below presents the components of our net interest revenue-FTE with the effect that the varying levels of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable rates have had on changes in net interest revenue from the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2025. The changes in net interest revenue-FTE due to both rate and
volume have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

charge-offs were 0.24% and 0.28% annualized for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were mainly experienced in the commercial and industrial non-real estate
loan class concentrated in one credit; while net charge-offs for the same period in 2024 were also primarily in the non-real estate class.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net charge-offs totaled $44.2 million and $42.0 million, respectively. As a percentage of average loans and leases, net
charge-offs were both 0.26% annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were mainly experienced in the commercial and industrial non-real estate loan class
concentrated in two credits, as well as a small number of SBA loans in the resolution process; while net charge-offs for the same period in 2024 were also primarily in the non-real estate class.
The Company recorded $31.0 million in provision for credit losses ($30.0 million for loans and $1.0 million for unfunded commitments) during the three months ended June
30, 2025, compared to $22.0 million ($20.0 million for loans and $2.0 million for unfunded commitments) for the same period in 2024. Provision for credit losses of $4.2 million was recorded on non-PCD loans acquired through the FCB
acquisition during the second quarter of 2025.
The Company recorded $51.0 million in provision for credit losses ($50.0 million for loans and $1.0 million for unfunded commitments) during the six months ended June 30,
2025, compared to $44.0 million ($44.0 million for loans and zero for unfunded commitments) for the same period in 2024.

The ACL increased $13.9 million to $474.7 million at June 30, 2025, from $460.8 million at December 31, 2024. This increase included $8.1 million related to PCD loans
acquired through the FCB acquisition with the remainder of the increase primarily seen in the CRE loan segment. The ACL to NPL decreased to 205.26% at June 30, 2025, from 216.85% at June 30, 2024. For more information about the Company’s
classified, nonperforming, PCD, and impaired loans, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Loans and Leases” in Part I of this Report.
The breakdown of the ACL by loan and lease segment and class is based, in part, on evaluations of specific loan and lease histories and the impact of forecasted economic
conditions on the portfolio segments. Accordingly, because these conditions are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the breakdown of any future allowance for credit losses. Several economic forecasts from
external sources are used in the estimation and allocation of the ACL. The forecasts cover an eight-quarter forecast horizon to establish a forecast range and are based on upside, downside, and base case scenarios. A blended scenario is
selected by management to reflect the probable economic conditions within the range. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the forecast was a mix of downside and base forecasts, weighted more heavily to a base forecast, which is
consistent with the weighting in first half of 2024.
The Company recognizes that higher interest rates, inflation, and slower economic growth may have short-term, long-term, and regional impacts to the economy. In addition,
qualitative factors such as changes in economic conditions, concentrations of risk, and changes in portfolio risk resulting from regulatory changes are considered in determining the adequacy of the level of the ACL (see Note 5 to the
consolidated financial statements).

Noninterest revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $98.2 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 2.5%, from the same period in 2024. Noninterest revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $183.6 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 0.5%, from the same period in 2024. The decrease in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 resulted from a decrease in other
miscellaneous income partially offset by increases in mortgage banking revenue, credit related fees, BOLI income, SBA income, and wealth management revenue.
Trust and asset management income, which consists of fee income from management of trust accounts, increased 4.6% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same
period in 2024, and increased 4.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in the 2025 quarter arose from an increase of 4.9% in assets under management.
Deposit service charges, which consist primarily of corporate analysis charges, overdraft fees, and other service related fees, increased 2.3% during the second quarter
of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of 5.2% in corporate analysis charges.
Mortgage banking revenue typically fluctuates as mortgage interest rates change and is primarily attributable to two activities - (1) the origination and sale of new
mortgage loans and (2) the servicing of sold mortgage loans. Origination revenue is comprised of gains and losses from the sale of mortgage loans, origination fees, underwriting fees and other fees associated with the origination of mortgage
loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, mortgage loan held for sale origination volumes totaled $351.3 million and $299.6 million, respectively, which produced origination revenue of $4.4 million and $4.0 million,
respectively. The increase in mortgage origination revenue also resulted from an increase of 16.3% in mortgage loans sold during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, mortgage loan held for sale origination volumes totaled $586.7 million and $522.4 million, respectively, which produced
origination revenue of $7.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The increase in mortgage origination revenue resulted from a 9.2% increase in loans sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to the same factors impacting the
comparative three months periods noted previously.
76
Revenue from the mortgage servicing process includes fees from the actual servicing of mortgage loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, servicing
revenue was $6.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, servicing revenue was $12.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The quarterly and YTD growth in servicing revenue is primarily
attributable to the 5.0% growth in the servicing portfolio from June 30, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
The Company services a class of residential mortgages that are first lien loans secured by a primary residence or second home. The MSR, which are recognized as a separate
asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold on a servicing retained basis, is recorded at fair value as determined at each accounting period end. At June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the MSR was $111.6
million and $113.6 million, respectively.
The Company is susceptible to significant fluctuations in MSR fair value during changing interest rate environments. The Company has an economic hedge in place on its MSR
and uses various instruments (including but not limited to Treasury options, SOFR and TBA futures and forwards) to mitigate the IRR associated with the MSR. These hedging instruments are reported at fair value, with adjustments included as
part of mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, this economic hedge covered approximately 75.1% and 75.3%, respectively, of the MSR interest rate risk. Reflecting this sensitivity to
interest rates, the fair value of the MSR, including the hedge, experienced a decrease of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a decrease of $3.7 million during the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024, the fair value of the MSR, including the hedge, decreased $5.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

BOLI income consists of death benefits and earnings on the cash surrender value. For the second quarter of 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, BOLI income increased $2.4 million and
$3.7 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. These increases resulted primarily from increases in death benefits received.
Credit related fees consist of interest rate swap income, letter of credit fees, unused line fees, and arrangement fees. For the second quarter of 2025, and the six months ended June 30,
2025, credit related fees increased 58.9% and 25.4%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The primary drivers of these increases were increases in swap derivative income and in arrangement fees.
SBA income consists of gains and losses on the sale of SBA loans, servicing fees, and various fees related to processing SBA loans. SBA income increased 91.1% during the second quarter of
2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and increased 41.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases incurred during the 2025 periods are due to increases of $26.6 million and $32.2
million in SBA loans sold during the quarter and YTD periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The second quarter 2025 sales increase was favorably impacted by the addition of FCB’s SBA business.
77
Other miscellaneous income consists of various fees, gains and losses, and other revenue. For the second quarter of 2025, and the six months ended June 30, 2025, other miscellaneous income
decreased 50.8% and 36.1%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. These decreases were primarily driven by the gain of $15.0 million on sales of businesses that occurred in second quarter 2024.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $272.9 million, an increase of $16.2 million, or 6.3%, from the same period in 2024. Noninterest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2025, was $532.2 million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 2.4%, from the same period in 2024. Both the quarter over quarter increase and the year over year increase primarily resulted from increases in salaries and employee
benefits and increases in legal expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance assessments.
Salaries and employee benefits expense was the largest category of our noninterest expense. Salaries and employee benefits increased $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $5.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases resulted primarily from the addition of First Chatham in the second quarter of 2025, an increase in commissions expense associated with strong
fee revenue performance and increased payroll taxes attributable to increased salaries, commissions, and incentive payments.

Deposit insurance assessments consist of amounts paid to the FDIC for deposit insurance which consist of both regular quarterly assessments and special assessments that are implemented by the
FDIC to increase the level of the DIF. Deposit insurance premiums decreased $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The
quarter over quarter and year over year decreases are attributable to the 2024 adjustments to the FDIC special assessment that did not repeat in 2025.
Merger expenses consists of one-time expenses related to the acquisition of another business. Merger expenses increased $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $2.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. These increases were incurred due to the recent mergers with FCB Financial and Industry.
Legal expenses consist of legal fees paid to external attorneys and accruals for the settlement of various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees increased $7.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases resulted primarily from increases of $5.6 million and $4.7 million in legal
settlements for the quarterly and year-to-date 2025 periods, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $37.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $40.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in tax expense in 2025
can be attributed to a reduction of excess salary disallowance.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $73.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $76.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in tax expense in 2025
can be attributed to a reduction of excess salary disallowance.
The effective tax rate was 21.9% and 21.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 22.9% and 23.1% for the same periods in 2024. The decrease in the
effective tax rate was the result of a reduction of excess salary disallowance and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
In August 2022, the IRA of 2022 was signed into law to address inflation, healthcare costs, climate change and renewal energy incentives, among other things. Included in the IRA of 2022 are
provisions for the creation of a 15% CAMT that is effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2023 for corporations with an average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion. Based on information available to date, we
do not anticipate that the Company will be subject to the 15% CAMT in 2025, absent any further changes in law.
In July 2025, the OBBB Act was signed into law which both extended many soon to expire provisions of the TCJA and made several additional changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the new law may have on its consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2025, the Company’s AFS securities totaled $8.8 billion compared to $7.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase of $1.5 billion, or 21.2%, was
primarily driven by the purchases of $2.0 billion of higher yielding securities during the period. The increase was offset by the maturities and paydowns of $644.1 million and the sale of $45.6 million of AFS securities during the six
month period.
Net unrealized losses on AFS securities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $700.2 million and $853.7 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025, management
believes that the unrealized losses are due to noncredit-related factors, such as changes in interest rates and other market conditions (see Note 3 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements).

Loans Acquired in Mergers and Acquisitions
In connection with past bank acquisitions, the Company acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. Acquired loans
are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded ACL.
Fair values for loans were estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology (income approach) that considered factors including loan type and related collateral,
classification status, remaining term of the loan (in months), fixed or variable interest rate, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, LTV, and current discount rates. The discount rate did
not include an explicit factor for credit losses, as it was included as a reduction to the estimated cash flows. Large loans were specifically reviewed to evaluate credit risk. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form
of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of each acquired loan. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since
origination (“PCD”), the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect the Company’s ACL recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment not related to credit is accreted or amortized into
interest income over the remaining life of the loan. As it relates to acquired loans not classified as PCD (“non-PCD”) loans, the credit loss and yield components of the fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium
or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The Company records an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense, and therefore, no further adjustments
are made to the net premium or net discount for non-PCD loans. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s ACL recorded for acquired PCD and non-PCD loans was $8.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, due to the FCB
acquisition. The book value of the acquired loans was $387.3 million.
In addition, a grade is assigned to each loan during the valuation process. For acquired loans that are not individually reviewed during the valuation process, such
loans are assumed to have characteristics similar to the assigned rating of the acquired institution’s risk rating, adjusted for any estimated differences between the Company’s rating methodology and the acquired institution’s risk rating
methodology. Acquired loans that are individually evaluated at the acquisition date are assigned a specific reserve in the same manner as other loans individually evaluated and are assigned an internal grade representing PCD with Loss
Exposure.
The following is a discussion of the Company’s segments and classes of loans and leases:
Commercial and Industrial
Non-Real Estate – The Company engages in lending to small and medium-sized business enterprises and government entities
through its community banking locations and to regional and national business enterprises through its corporate banking division. C&I loans are loans and leases to finance business operations, equipment and owner-occupied facilities.
These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal and/or corporate guarantees are generally obtained where available and prudent. Also included in this category are
loans to finance agricultural production. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, commodity prices, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural
disasters, fraud, losses due to theft or embezzlement, loss of sponsor support, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans. In addition, risks in the
agricultural sector including crop failures due to weather, insects and other blights, commodity prices, governmental intervention, lawsuits, labor or logistical disruptions. Non-real estate loans increased 4.4% from December 31, 2024 to
June 30, 2025.
84
Owner Occupied – Owner occupied loans include loans secured by business facilities
to finance business operations, equipment, agricultural land and owner-occupied facilities. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal guarantees are
generally obtained where available and prudent. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters,
losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans. Owner occupied loans increased 2.1% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
Commercial Real Estate
Construction, Acquisition and Development – CAD loans include both term loans and credit lines for construction of
commercial, industrial, residential, and multi-family buildings and for purchasing, carrying, and developing land into residential subdivisions or various types of commercial developments, such as industrial, warehouse, retail, office,
and multi-family. The Company generally engages in construction and development lending primarily in markets served by its branches. The Company recognizes that risks are inherent in the financing of real estate development and
construction. These risks include location, market conditions and price volatility, changes in interest rates, demand for developed land, lots and buildings, desirability of features and styling of completed developments and buildings,
competition from other developments and builders, traffic patterns, remote work patterns, governmental jurisdiction, tax structure, availability of utilities, roads, public transportation and schools, availability of permanent financing
for homebuyers, zoning, environmental restrictions, lawsuits, economic and business cycle, or labor and reputation of the builder or developer. CAD loans decreased 11.4% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
Each CAD loan is underwritten to address: (i) the desirability of the project, its market viability and projected absorption period; (ii) the credit worthiness of the
borrower and the guarantor, if applicable, as to liquidity, cash flow and assets available to ensure performance of the loan; (iii) equity contribution to the project; (iv) the developer’s experience and success with similar projects; and
(ev) the value of the collateral.
Income Producing – Income producing loans include loans to finance income-producing
commercial and multi-family properties. Lending in this category is generally limited to properties located in the Company’s market area with only limited exposure to properties located elsewhere. Loans in this category include loans for
neighborhood retail centers, medical and professional offices, single retail stores, warehouses and apartments leased generally to local businesses and residents. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the occupancy and
rental rates as well as the financial health of the borrower. The Company’s exposure to national retail tenants is limited. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, delayed or missed rent payments, supply-chain disruptions,
operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans. Income producing loans
increased 16.8% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
Consumer
Residential Mortgages – Consumer mortgages are first or second-lien loans to
consumers secured by a primary residence or second home. This category includes traditional mortgages and home equity loans and revolving lines of credit. The loans are generally secured by properties located primarily in markets served
by the Company’s branches. These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company’s general loan policy and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory
credit history, and property value. In addition to loans originated for the Company’s portfolio, the Company originates and services consumer mortgages sold in the secondary market which are underwritten and closed pursuant to investor
and agency guidelines. Residential mortgages increased 6.7% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
Other Consumer – Other consumer lending includes consumer credit card accounts as
well as personal revolving lines of credit and installment loans. The Company offers credit cards primarily to its deposit and loan customers. Consumer installment loans include term loans of up to five years secured by automobiles, boats
and recreational vehicles. The Company recognizes that there are risks in consumer lending, which include interruptions in the borrower’s personal and investment income due to loss of employment, market conditions, and general economic
conditions, deterioration in the health and well being of the borrower and family members, natural disasters, lawsuits, losses, or inability to generate income due to injury, accidents, theft, vandalism, or incarceration. Other consumer
loans decreased 0.5% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
85
Selected Loan Maturity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The maturity distribution of the Company’s loan portfolio is one factor in management’s evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio. The
interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio is important in the management of net interest margin. The Company attempts to manage the relationship between the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities
to produce an effective interest differential that is not significantly impacted by changes in the level of interest rates (See - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk). The following table shows the maturity
distribution based on remaining maturities of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and the interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s loans and leases maturing after one year at June 30, 2025:

Loans Held-for-Sale
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, loans held for sale totaled $272.1 million and $244.2 million, respectively. Included
in loans held for sale are loans sold to GNMA with an option to repurchase, totaling $62.9 million and $69.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company records the GNMA loans at fair value on the
consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding liability. GNMA optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria (90 days or more past due) from the
securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing. At the servicer’s option and without GNMA’s prior authorization, the servicer may repurchase such a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100% of the remaining principal
balance of the loan. Under ASC 860, this buyback option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional. When the Company is deemed to have regained effective
control over these loans under the unconditional buyback option, the loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be brought back onto the consolidated balance sheet as loans held for sale, regardless of whether the Company intends to
exercise the buy-back option. These GNMA loans are not included in the NPL totals (See Table 19).

Asset Quality
Nonperforming Assets
NPA consists of NPL, OREO, and other repossessed assets. The decrease from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 in NPA was driven by the decrease of $33.4 million, or
12.6%, in nonaccrual loans and leases (See Tables 20 and 21). The majority of the decrease in nonaccrual loans and leases was located in the C&I non-real estate and CRE income producing segments. The decrease was partially offset by
the increase of $9.8 million, or 171.1%, in foreclosed OREO and other NPA. NPA were as follows as of each period presented:

Nonperforming Loans
NPL consist of nonaccrual loans and leases. The Company’s policy provides that loans and leases are generally placed in nonaccrual status if, in management’s
opinion, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected or payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days past due for commercial loans and 120 days past due for consumer loans, unless the loan or lease is both
well-secured and in the process of collection. NPL decreased 12.6% at June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. NPL as a percentage of net loans and leases decreased from 0.8% at December 31, 2024 to 0.7% at June 30, 2025. NPL
trends decreased during the first half of 2025, primarily due to the charge-off of two asset-based lending credits. With the current forecast, the Company expects a moderate correlation between NPL trends and provision amounts.
Included in NPL at June 30, 2025 were loans of $44.9 million that are individually analyzed collateral-dependent loans for which a specific provision has been
considered to address the unsupported exposure. Collateral-dependent loans are typically assigned an internal rating of impaired or PCD (loss). However, additional risk ratings can be used as needed to align with regulatory definitions.
PCD (loss) represent loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination that are acquired, and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that the bank will be unable to collect all contractually required payments.
At June 30, 2025, $36.5 million of nonperforming collateral-dependent loans for which a specific provision has been considered were rated as impaired and $8.4 million were rated as doubtful. Nonperforming collateral-dependent loans had
a specific reserve of $11.0 million included in the total ACL of $474.7 million at June 30, 2025, and were net of $23.7 million in partial charge-downs previously taken on these impaired loans. At June 30, 2025, there were no net
partial charge-downs previously taken on PCD (loss) loans.
NPL at December 31, 2024 included $75.8 million of nonperforming collateral-dependent loans that had a specific reserve of $16.9 million included in the ACL of
$460.8 million at December 31, 2024, and were net of $1.9 million in partial charge-downs previously taken on these impaired loans. Included in the $75.8 million of nonperforming collateral-dependent loans at December 31, 2024 were
$67.1 million rated as impaired and $8.7 million rated as doubtful. At December 31, 2024, there were no net partial charge-downs previously taken on PCD (loss) loans.

OREO and Repossessed Assets
OREO consists of properties acquired through foreclosure. Repossessed assets consist of non-real estate assets acquired in partial or full settlement of loans. OREO
and repossessed assets totaled $15.6 million and $5.8 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase of $9.8 million, or 171.1%, was primarily the result of increased OREO activity of $13.6 million, and the FCB
acquisition of $1.6 million, partially offset by sales of $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The main types of OREO acquired during the period were CRE and residential mortgages.
Because a portion of the Company’s NPL have been determined to be collateral-dependent, management expects the resolution of a significant number of these loans may
necessitate foreclosure proceedings resulting in further additions to OREO. At June 30, 2025, residential mortgages in process of foreclosure increased to $14.4 million compared to $19.7 million at December 31, 2024.
89
At the time of foreclosure, the fair value of the collateral for loans backed by real estate is typically determined by an appraisal performed by a third-party
appraiser holding professional certifications. Such appraisals are then reviewed and evaluated by the Company’s internal appraisal group. A market value appraisal using a 180-360-day marketing period is typically ordered and the OREO is
recorded at the time of foreclosure at its market value less estimated selling costs. For residential subdivisions that are not completed, the appraisals reflect the uncompleted status of the subdivision.
Since OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs on an ongoing basis, new appraisals are generally obtained on at least an annual
basis and the OREO carrying values are adjusted accordingly. The type of appraisals typically used for these periodic reappraisals are “Restricted Use Appraisals,” meaning the appraisal is for client use only. Other indications of fair
value are also used to attempt to ensure that OREO is carried at fair value. These include listing the property with a broker and acceptance of an offer to purchase from a third-party. If an OREO property is listed with a broker at an
amount less than the current carrying value, the carrying value is adjusted to reflect the list price less estimated selling costs and if an offer to purchase is accepted at a price less than the current carrying value, the carrying value
is adjusted to reflect that sales price, less estimated selling costs. The majority of the properties in OREO are actively marketed using a combination of real estate brokers, bank staff who are familiar with the particular properties
and/or third parties.
Financial Difficulty Modifications
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, eliminating the recognition and measurement guidance on TDRs for creditors that have adopted ASC 326 and requiring
them to make enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance became effective for Cadence beginning January 1, 2023, and was adopted via the modified retrospective transition
method.
With the removal of the TDR accounting model, the general loan modification guidance in Subtopic 310-20 is now applied to all loan modifications, including
modifications made for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Under this guidance, a modification is treated as a new loan only if both: 1) the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms for
comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks, and 2) modifications to the terms of the original loan are more than minor. If either condition is not met, the modification is accounted for as the continuation of the
old loan with any effect of the modification treated as a prospective adjustment to the loan’s EIR. Modifications in scope for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include principal forgiveness, other-than-insignificant payment
delay, interest rate reduction, or a combination of modifications. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the most common individual concessions were related to term extensions and payment deferrals. Other concessions included
interest rate reductions.
At June 30, 2025, loans that were modified within the past six months for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $87.5 million, or 0.3%, of total loans
and leases, net of unearned income. Loans are considered to be in payment default at 90 or more days past due for purposes of assessing modified loans for default. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information for these loans.
Loan Concentrations
At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any concentration of loans or leases in excess of 10% of total loans and leases outstanding which were not otherwise
disclosed as a category of loans or leases. Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other
conditions. The Company conducts business in a geographically concentrated area and has a significant amount of loans secured by real estate to borrowers in varying activities and businesses but does not consider these factors alone in
identifying loan concentrations. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay loans is somewhat dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in the Company’s market areas.
Internally Assigned Grades on Loans
The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system that is updated to perpetually grade loans according to certain credit quality indicators. These credit
quality indicators include, but are not limited to, recent credit performance, delinquency, liquidity, cash flows, debt coverage ratios, collateral type and loan-to-value ratio. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

|
At June 30, 2025, loans in pass, special mention, substandard, and PCD (loss) grade categories increased while loans in doubtful and impaired grade
categories decreased compared to December 31, 2024. Pass loans increased $1.6 billion, or 4.8%, compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in pass was seen across all loan categories except for decreases in CAD and other consumer loans.
Special mention loans increased $115.1 million, or 101.1%, compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in special mention was mainly driven by increases in C&I non-real estate and CRE income producing loans. Substandard loans
increased $56.7 million, or 9.5%, at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in substandard was mainly driven by the increase in C&I non-real estate and CRE income producing loans, somewhat offset by a slight
decrease in CAD and C&I owner occupied loans. PCD (loss) loans increased $3.0 million, or 50.4%, compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in PCD (loss) was driven by the FCB acquisition, which included $4.3 million in PCD (loss)
loans, somewhat offset by a decrease in C&I owner occupied loans. Impaired loans decreased $28.9 million, or 43.0%, at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in impaired was primarily driven by a decrease in C&I
non-real estate and CRE income producing loans, slightly offset by an increase in CAD loans. The Company has maintained stable credit results while continuing to grow loans. Of total loans and leases, 99.0% were current on their
contractual payments at June 30, 2025.
Collateral for some of the Company’s loans and leases is subject to fair value estimates that can fluctuate with market conditions and other external
factors. In addition, while the Company has certain underwriting obligations related to such estimates, the estimates of some real property and other collateral are dependent upon third-party independent appraisers employed as independent
contractors of the Company.

Deposits
Deposits originating within the communities served by the Company continue to be the Company’s primary source of funding its earning assets. The Company has been able to compete effectively
for deposits in its primary market areas, while continuing to manage the exposure to higher interest rates. The distribution and market share of deposits by type of deposit and by type of depositor are important considerations in the
Company's assessment of the stability of its funding sources and its access to additional funds. Furthermore, management shifts the mix and maturity of the deposits depending on economic conditions and loan and investment policies in an
attempt, within set policies, to minimize cost and maximize net interest margin.

Total deposits experienced a decrease of $2.7 million at June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024 due to decreases in brokered deposits and public funds, partially offset by an increase
in core customer deposits (which excludes brokered deposits and public funds). Brokered deposits were $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $636.0 million, or 30.4%, compared to December 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily the result
of the Company’s decision to lower the brokered deposit levels in favor of short and long term FHLB borrowings. Total public funds balances were $3.8 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $254.0 million, or 6.2%, compared to December 31,
2024. This decrease is primarily the result of the seasonality of cash collections and disbursements by the various municipalities. Core customer deposit balances were $35.2 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $887.5 million, or 2.6%,
compared to December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of FCB, which added $523.6 million of deposits in the second quarter of 2025. See Note 2 for further details. Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased
$562.2 million, or 6.5%, at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Time deposits decreased $209.5 million, or 2.1%, at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 due in part to a decrease of $449.8 million in brokered time deposits
offset by an increase of $228.5 million in core customer and public funds time deposits.

Uninsured deposits are defined as the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit account that
are classified as deposits and are not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. The uninsured portion of public funds owned by municipal and state government entities are collateralized by the Company with investment
securities and custodial letters of credit from the FHLB of Dallas. The following table segregates our deposits by deposit insurance categories.

Borrowings
Short-term Borrowings
The Company has several types of available short-term borrowing arrangements including Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term FHLB borrowings and
the Federal Reserve discount window. Federal funds purchased are unsecured lines, while the rest of these types of borrowings are collateralized by investment securities and loans. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had total
short-term borrowings of $1.6 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 4.30% and $23.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.10%, respectively. Cadence’s BTFP borrowing was paid off during the fourth quarter of 2024. See
Note 6 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional details.
94
Long-term Borrowings
During the first half of 2025, the Company entered into $1.4 billion long-term advances from FHLB of Dallas with various interest rates ranging from 3.897% to 4.219% and maturing beginning
in September 2026 through April 2027. In addition, the Company assumed $12.4 million of junior subordinated debt included in the First Chatham Bank acquisition. All the FCB subordinated debt assumed as well as the $10.0 million of 5.000%
fixed to floating rate subordinated notes were paid off in June 2025. The following is a summary of our long-term borrowings at the dates indicated:

Under the terms of the blanket floating lien security agreement with FHLB of Dallas, the Company is required to maintain sufficient collateral to secure borrowings. At June 30, 2025, the
remaining borrowing availability totaled $10.1 billion. At June 30, 2025, there were no call features on long-term FHLB borrowings. See Note 6 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
One of the Company's goals is to maintain adequate funds to meet increases in loan demand or any potential increase in the normal level of deposit withdrawals. This goal is accomplished
primarily by generating cash from the Company’s operating activities and maintaining sufficient short-term liquid assets. These sources, coupled with a stable core deposit base and a historical experience in the capital markets, allow the
Company to fund earning assets and maintain the availability of funds. Management believes that the Company’s traditional sources of maturing loans and investment securities, sales of loans held for sale, cash from operating activities and
a strong base of core deposits are adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for normal operations over both the short-term and the long-term.
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of the following dates:

At June 30, 2025, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit issued by the FHLB totaling $47.5 million which were used on behalf of the Company’s customers.
The ability of the Company to obtain funding from these or other sources could be negatively affected should the Company experience a substantial deterioration in its financial condition or
its debt rating or should the availability of short-term funding become restricted as a result of the disruption in the financial markets. Management does not anticipate any short-or long-term changes to its liquidity strategies and
believes that the Company has ample sources to meet any liquidity challenges that may arise. The Company has sound and robust risk management practices that include an active ALCO to analyze and manage the Company’s liquidity and IRR (See -
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk).
Other Liquidity Considerations
The Company’s operating lease obligations represent short and long-term operating lease and rental payments for facilities, certain software and data processing and other equipment.
Purchase obligations represent obligations to purchase goods and services that are legally binding and enforceable on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum
or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments and other arrangements to extend credit that are not reflected on the consolidated balance
sheets of the Company. The business purpose of these off-balance sheet commitments is the routine extension of credit. The Company also faces the risk of deteriorating credit quality of borrowers to whom a commitment to extend credit has
been made; however, no significant credit losses are expected from these commitments and arrangements. At June 30, 2025, letters of credit totaled $467.3 million and unfunded extensions of credit totaled $9.1 billion (see Note 16 to the
consolidated financial statement for more information). At June 30, 2025, the Company maintained a reserve for unfunded commitments of $9.6 million included in other liabilities.
Cash Flow Sources and Uses
Cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, including interest bearing deposits with other banks. At June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.5 billion compared to
$1.7 billion at December 31, 2024. The ratio of cash and cash equivalents to total assets was 3.1% at June 30, 2025 compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating activities provided $332.0 million in cash, investing activities used $2.9 billion in cash, and financing activities provided $2.3
billion in cash. Primary uses of funds in investing activities during the first half of 2025 were net funding of loans of $1.4 billion and purchases of AFS securities $2.0 billion. These items were partially offset by proceeds from
maturities, calls and payments of AFS securities of $644.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, financing activities provided $2.3 billion, which primarily resulted from proceeds of $1.4 billion in long-term FHLB advances and
of $1.6 billion in short-term FHLB advances. These items were partially offset by a decrease of $526.4 million in deposits and common and preferred stock dividends of $108.9 million.
96
Regulatory Capital
Regulatory capital at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was calculated in accordance with standards established by the federal banking agencies as well as the interagency final rule
published on September 30, 2020 entitled “Revised Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology for Allowances.” 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 adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures are established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy and require the Company
to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios.
Additionally, regulatory capital rules include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% which the Company must maintain on top of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer
applies to all three risk-based capital measurements (CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets). A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital
distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.
Capital amounts and ratios for the Company at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are presented in the following table and as shown, exceed the thresholds necessary to be considered “well
capitalized.” Management believes that no events or changes have occurred subsequent to the indicated dates that would change this designation.

Uses of Capital
Subject to pre-approval from the Federal Reserve and MDBCF, the Company may pursue acquisitions of depository institutions and businesses closely related to banking that further the
Company’s business strategies. Management anticipates that consideration for any transactions would include shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination thereof.
On April 25, 2025, the Company announced a share repurchase program whereby the Company may acquire up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock. The share repurchase program
became effective on May 28, 2025, and will expire on December 31, 2025. Under the share repurchase program, shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased periodically in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in
privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. Repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares available for use in connection with the Company’s stock compensation programs,
other transactions, or for other corporate purposes as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Through June 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares under this program.
On May 1, 2025, the Company completed the merger with FCB Financial Corp., the bank holding company for First Chatham Bank (collectively referred to as “First Chatham”). Under the terms of
the definitive merger agreement, the Company issued approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock plus $23.1 million in cash for all outstanding shares of First Chatham. See Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for
additional details.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company increased the common stock dividend to $0.275 per share. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025 the Company paid a special cash
dividend of $0.34375 per share of preferred stock.
97
Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and practices within the banking industry which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The effect of inflation on a financial
institution differs from the effect on other types of businesses. While a financial institution’s operating expenses are affected by general inflation, the asset and liability structure of a financial institution consists largely of
monetary items. Monetary items, such as cash, investments, loans, deposits, and borrowings, are those assets and liabilities which are or will be converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. As a result, changes
in interest rates can be more impactful to a financial institution’s performance than general inflation. Inflation may also have impacts on the Company’s customers, businesses and consumers and their ability or willingness to invest, save
or spend, and perhaps on their ability to repay loans. As such, there would likely be impacts on the general appetite for banking products and the credit health to the Company’s customers. See Part 1, Item 1.A., Risk Factors, of the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for additional information regarding the risks of inflation.
Certain Litigation and Other Contingencies
The nature of the Company’s business ordinarily results in certain types of claims, litigation, investigations, and other legal or administrative cases and proceedings. Although the Company
and its subsidiaries have policies and procedures to minimize legal noncompliance and the impact of claims and other proceedings and endeavored to procure reasonable amounts of insurance coverage, litigation and regulatory actions present
an ongoing risk.
The Company and its subsidiaries engage in lines of business that are heavily regulated and involve a large volume of actual or potential financial transactions with customers or
applicants, and the Company is a public company with a large number of shareholders. From time to time, applicants, borrowers, customers, shareholders, former employees, service providers, and other third parties have brought actions
against the Company or its subsidiaries, in cases claiming substantial damages. Financial services companies are subject to risks arising from changing regulatory frameworks or expectations, regulatory investigations, class action
litigation, and, from time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries have such actions brought against them. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to enforcement actions by federal or state regulators, including the Federal
Reserve, the CFPB, the DOJ, state attorneys general, and the MDBCF, which may be adversely impacted by ongoing litigation in which the Company is involved. Additionally, the Company is, and management expects it to be, engaged in a number
of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its lending and leasing collections activities, which, from time to time, have resulted in counterclaims against the Company and its subsidiaries. Various legal proceedings
have and may arise in the future out of claims against entities to which the Company is a successor as a result of business combinations.
When and as the Company determines it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends against such claims. The Company will consider settlement of claims when, in
management’s judgment and in consultation with counsel, it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.
The Company cannot predict with certainty the cost of defense, the cost of prosecution, or the ultimate outcome of litigation or other proceedings filed by or against it, its subsidiaries
and its directors, management or employees, including remedies or damage awards. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings as well as certain
threatened claims (which are not considered incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business) utilizing the latest and most reliable information available. For matters where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss
cannot be estimated, the Company will not accrue. For matters where it is probable the Company will incur a loss and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes an accrual for the loss. Once established, the accrual is
adjusted periodically to reflect any relevant developments. The actual cost of any such matters, however, may turn out to be substantially higher than the amount accrued. Further, the Company’s insurance policies have deductibles and
coverage limits, and such policies are unlikely to cover all costs and expenses related to the defense or prosecution of such legal proceedings or any losses arising therefrom.
Although the final outcome of any legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on the information available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, if applicable,
management believes that the litigation-related liability of $11.6 million accrued at June 30, 2025 is adequate and that any incremental change in potential liability arising from the Company’s legal proceedings and threatened claims,
including the matters described herein and those otherwise arising in the ordinary course of business, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or consolidated results of operations or financial condition. It is
possible, however, that future developments could result in an unfavorable outcome for, or resolution of any one or more of the legal proceedings in which the Company or its subsidiaries are defendants, which may be material to the
Company’s business or consolidated results of operations or financial condition for a particular fiscal period or periods.

On August 30, 2021, Legacy Cadence and the DOJ agreed to a settlement set forth in the consent order related to the investigation by the DOJ of Legacy Cadence Bank’s fair lending program in
Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties located in Houston, Texas during the period between 2014 and 2016 (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order was signed by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia,
Atlanta Division, on August 31, 2021. Pursuant to Section 5.2(g) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Paragraph 50 of the Consent Order, Legacy BancorpSouth Bank approved the negotiated settlement, and subsequently, the Company agreed to
accept the obligations of the Consent Order. At the request of the DOJ, the court terminated the Consent Order on May 29, 2025. For additional information regarding the terms of this settlement and the Consent Order, see Legacy Cadence
Bancorporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and practices within the banking industry which require management to make estimates and assumptions about
future events. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and the resulting estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of certain assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|
Interest Rate Risk Management
Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from changes in interest rates and other relevant market prices. This risk of loss can be reflected in either reduced potential net
interest revenue in future periods or diminished market values of financial assets. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from IRR that is inherent in its lending, investment and deposit taking activities.
The main causes of IRR are the differing structural characteristics of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet obligations and their cumulative net reaction to changing interest
rates. These structural characteristics include timing differences in maturity or repricing and the effect of embedded options such as loan prepayments, securities prepayments and calls, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and deposit
withdrawal options. In addition to these sources of IRR, basis risk results from differences in the spreads between various market interest rates and changes in the slope of the yield curve can contribute to additional IRR.
We evaluate IRR and develop guidelines regarding balance sheet composition and re-pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments that aim to moderate IRR. We use
financial simulation models that reflect various interest rate scenarios and the related impact on NII and EVE over specified periods of time. NII is a shorter-term indicator while EVE is a longer-term indicator of IRR. We refer to this
process as ALM.
The primary objective of ALM is to manage IRR within a desired risk tolerance for potential fluctuations in NII and EVE throughout different interest rate cycles, which we aim to achieve
through management of interest rate sensitive earning assets and liabilities. In general, we seek to maintain a desired risk tolerance with asset and liability balances within maturity and repricing characteristics to limit our exposure to
acceptable earnings volatility and changes in the value of assets and liabilities as interest rates fluctuate over time. Adjustments to maturity categories can be accomplished either by lengthening or shortening the duration of an
individual asset or liability category, or externally with interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collars, and floors. See “—Interest Rate Exposure” below for a more detailed discussion of our various
derivative positions.
Our ALM strategy is formulated and monitored by our ALCO in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Directors. ALCO meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity
of our assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, recent purchase and sale activity, maturities of securities and borrowings, and projected future
transactions. ALCO also establishes and approves pricing and funding strategies with respect to overall asset and liability composition. ALCO reports regularly to our Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
Financial simulation models are the primary tools we use to measure IRR exposures. These simulation models incorporate all of our earning assets and liabilities. By examining a range of
hypothetical deterministic interest rate scenarios, these models provide management with information regarding the potential impact on NII and EVE caused by changes in interest rates.
The models simulate the cash flows and accounting accruals generated by the financial instruments on our balance sheet, as well as the cash flows generated by the new business that we
anticipate over a 60-month forecast horizon. However, past the 36-month mark, the growth of the balances is static in the forecast. Numerous assumptions are made in the modeling process, including balance sheet composition, re-pricing, a
combination of market data and internal historical experiences, and maturity characteristics of existing and new business. These assumptions are reviewed regularly. Additionally, loan and investment prepayments, administered rate account
elasticity, and other option risks are considered as well as the uncertainty surrounding future customer behavior. Because our modeling is limited by the predictive power of historical data and current assumptions, and because our balance
sheet will be actively managed in the event of a change in interest rates, simulation results, including those discussed in “—Interest Rate Exposure” immediately below, are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in
market interest rates on our NII or EVE, or indicative of management’s expectations of actual results in the event of a fluctuation in market interest rates; however, these results are used to help measure the potential risks related to
IRR.

Interest Rate Exposure
Based upon the current interest rate environment at June 30, 2025, our simulation model projects our sensitivity to an instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates over a one-year
period as follows:

Both the NII and EVE simulations include assumptions regarding balances, asset prepayment speeds, deposit and borrowings repricing and runoff and interest rate relationships among balances
that management believes to be reasonable for the various interest rate environments. Differences in actual occurrences from these assumptions may change our market risk exposure.
See “Table 15 – Maturity Distribution of AFS Securities” that shows the maturities and weighted average yields for the carrying value of the available for sale securities as of June 30,
2025, and “Table 18 – Interest Rate Sensitivity of Loans and Leases” that shows the maturity distribution based on remaining maturities of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and the interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s loans and
leases maturing after one year at June 30, 2025.
Derivative Positions
Overview. Our Board of Directors has authorized the ALCO to utilize financial futures, forward sales, options, interest rate
swaps, caps, collars, and floors, and other instruments to the extent appropriate, in accordance with regulations and our internal policy. From time to time, we expect to use interest rate swaps, caps, collars, and floors as macro hedges
against inherent rate sensitivity in our assets and our liabilities to synthetically alter the maturities or re-pricing characteristics of assets or liabilities to reduce imbalances.
We currently engage in only the following types of hedges: (1) those which enable us to transfer the IRR exposure involved in our daily business activities; and (2) those which serve to
alter the market risk inherent in our investment portfolio, mortgage pipeline, MSR, or liabilities and thus help us to manage earnings and market value volatility within approved risk tolerances.
The following is a discussion of our current derivative positions related to IRR.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain commitments with customers in connection with
residential mortgage loan applications for loans the Company intends to sell. Such commitments are considered derivatives under current accounting guidance and are required to be recorded at fair value. The change in fair value of these
instruments is reflected currently in the mortgage banking revenue of the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities.
Forward Sales Commitments. The Company enters into forward sales commitments of MBS with investors to mitigate the effect of the IRR inherent in
providing interest rate lock commitments to customers. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery
sales commitments, under which the Company agrees to deliver certain MBS, are established. These commitments are non-hedging derivatives in accordance with current accounting guidance and recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value
reflected currently in the mortgage banking revenue of the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities.
Mortgage Servicing Right Hedges. The value of our MSR is dependent on changes in market interest rates. In order to mitigate the effects of changes
in rates on the value of our MSR, the Company has used various instruments (including but not limited to Treasury options, Treasury, SOFR and TBA futures and forwards, swap futures, etc.) as economic hedges.
101
Agreements Not Designated as Hedging Derivatives. The Company enters into interest rate swap, floor, cap and collar agreements on commercial loans
with customers to meet the financing needs and IRR management needs of its customers. At the same time, the Company enters into offsetting interest rate swap agreements with a financial institution in order to minimize the Company’s IRR.
These interest rate agreements are non-hedging derivatives and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in
other assets and other liabilities.
See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our derivative financial instruments.
| ITEM 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
|
CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company, with the participation of its management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Based upon that evaluation, and as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in its reports that the Company files or submits to the Federal Reserve under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a
timely basis, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company is working to integrate FCB into its overall internal control over financial reporting processes. Except for changes made in connection with this integration of FCB, there have
been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025, covered by this Report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
