Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in these Notes as the “Company”), with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Nature of Operations The Company engages in the banking business through Shore United Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a national banking association with locations in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from interest earned on commercial, residential mortgage and other loans, and fees charged in connection with lending and other banking services. The Company engages in financial service offerings through Wye Financial Partners, a division of the Bank, and offers corporate trustee services through Wye Trust, a division of the Bank. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgments, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On January 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025‑08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expanded the use of the gross‑up method beyond purchased credit‑deteriorated (“PCD”) assets to include purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”). Under the amended guidance, a non‑PCD loan (excluding credit cards) is considered seasoned if it is acquired in a business combination, or if it is purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loan. Qualifying PSLs are recorded at acquisition at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses, with no corresponding provision for credit losses recognized at acquisition, thereby eliminating the Day 1 provision for credit losses previously required for non‑PCD acquired loans. The early adoption of this guidance did not result in a material impact on the Bank’s/Company’s (consolidated) financial statements at the time of adoption; however, it is expected to reduce income statement volatility in future periods by eliminating Day 1 provisions for credit losses on qualifying acquired loans and improving comparability in acquisition accounting.
