•Mortgage production was $72.0 million, and mortgage sales totaled $55.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $76.9 million and $51.4 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company also announced that on April 23, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1150 per share, to be paid on its common stock on May 21, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 7, 2025. The Company had 17,481,709 shares of its common stock outstanding as of April 21, 2025.
“We are pleased to report strong financial results for the first quarter along with continued improvement in our margin and better than expected loan growth. We also had a great quarter for low cost deposit growth which contributed to a lower cost of funds as we continue building customer deposit relationships. We believe our growth in both loans and deposits in the first quarter sets a solid foundation for us to perform well in the future.” said Heath Fountain, Chief Executive Officer.
“Noninterest income came in lighter during the first quarter, which is consistent with the seasonal trends we typically see early in the year. This is a normal pattern for our business, and we remain optimistic in our outlook, expecting revenue to strengthen in the coming quarters as seasonal activity picks up. We are also excited about the acquisition of the Ellerbee Agency, which was announced and closed in April, and look forward to their success as part of Colony Insurance.”
"While recent market volatility has created a more dynamic environment, we remain confident in the strength and resilience of our operations, as well as those of our customers. Our long-term fundamentals are solid, we continue to make progress on strategic initiatives and we are well-positioned to navigate changing market conditions."

First Quarter 2025 Results of Operations
•Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, totaled $21.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2024. Income on interest earning assets increased while expenses on interest bearing liabilities decreased slightly due to the decrease in rates in the latter part of 2024. Income on interest earning assets increased $2.2 million, to $35.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the respective period in 2024. Expense on interest bearing liabilities decreased $83,143, to $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the respective period in 2024.
•Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 2.93% compared to 2.69% for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily related to an increase in interest earning assets and period over period, partially offset by the rate decreases in interest bearing liabilities.
•Noninterest income totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $443,000, or 4.67%, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily related to decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, gains on sales of SBA loans and income on merchant and wealth advisory services which is included in other noninterest income, which were partially offset by increases in mortgage fee income and decreases on losses on the sales of investment securities.
•Noninterest expense totaled $20.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $20.4 million for the same period in 2024. This slight decrease was a result of decreases in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and advertising and public relations expenses partially offset by increases in occupancy and equipment and information technology expenses.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The measures entitled operating noninterest income, operating noninterest expense, operating net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio, operating net noninterest expense to average assets and pre-provision net revenue are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are noninterest income, noninterest expense, net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency ratio, net noninterest expense to average assets and net interest income before provision for credit losses, respectively. Operating noninterest income excludes gain on sale of bank premises and loss on sales of securities. Operating noninterest expense excludes acquisition-related expenses and severance costs. Operating net income, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity and operating efficiency ratio all exclude acquisition-related expenses, severance costs, gain on sale of bank premises and loss on sales of securities from net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and efficiency ratio, respectively. Operating net noninterest expense to average assets ratio excludes from net noninterest expense, severance costs, acquisition-related expenses, gain on sale of bank premises and loss on sales of securities. Acquisition-related expenses includes fees associated with acquisitions and vendor contract buyouts. Severance costs includes costs associated with termination and retirement of employees. Adjusted earnings per diluted share includes the adjustments to operating net income. Tangible book value per common share and tangible equity to tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangibles from book value per common share and total equity to total assets, respectively. Pre-provision net revenue is calculated by adding noninterest income to net interest income before provision for credit losses, and subtracting noninterest expense.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company's performance, and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently.
These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The computations of operating noninterest income, operating noninterest expense, operating net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, operating return

on average assets, operating return on average equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio, operating net noninterest expense to average assets and pre-provision net revenue and the reconciliation of these measures to noninterest income, noninterest expense, net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency ratio, net noninterest expense to average assets and net interest income before provision for credit losses are set forth in the table below.
