NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

 

Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the "Trust") was established in September 2005 and is owned 100% by Eagle.

 

In March 2021, the Bank established a subsidiary, Opportunity Housing Fund, LLC ("OHF"), to invest in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") projects. The LIHTC program is designed to encourage capital investment in construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. During the year ended December 31,2021, OHF made investments in two LIHTC projects. Tax credits are allowable over a 10-year period. Amortizing investments in LIHTC projects are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $5,767,000 and $5,963,000 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Outstanding funding obligations for LIHTC projects are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $166,000 as of March 31, 2026 and  December 31, 2025.

 

Opportunity Financial Services, Inc. ("OFS") facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products. The revenue from these contracts is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The Company is considered an agent in these contracts, as: (i) the Company facilitates payment from customer to supplier, (ii) the Company does not take inventory of commodities as they are delivered by supplier to the customer, (iii) pricing of commodities is determined by the market, (iv) consideration on deferred payment contracts is insignificant to the Company and (v) the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal. Revenue is recognized net of expenses and reported in other noninterest income in the financial statements. Commodity sales income and the corresponding commodity sales expense were $2,151,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $2,314,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, for a net impact of $0. Outstanding deferred contracts payable are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $14,135,000 as of March 31, 2026 and $23,549,000 as of December 31, 2025. 

 

The Bank is headquartered in Helena, Montana, and has additional branches in Ashland, Big Timber, Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Choteau, Culbertson, Denton, Dutton, Froid, Glasgow, Great Falls, Hamilton, Hinsdale, Livingston, Missoula, Sheridan, Three Forks, Townsend, Twin Bridges, Winifred and Wolf Point, Montana. The Bank currently has 30 full-service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities.

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

 

The results of operations for the three-month period ended  March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any other period. In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), mortgage servicing rights, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, OHF, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and OFS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2026 for recognition and/or disclosure.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value.  An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which thy carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. For goodwill considerations the Company is a single reporting unit. 

 

Our quantitative annual impairment test as of  October 31, 2025 did not result in impairment. The annual goodwill impairment test for 2026 will be performed as of October 31. 

 

Segment Reporting

 

Management considers operations to be aggregated in one operating segment, as well as one reportable segment. The Company operates as one line of business (community banking) by providing a similar base of commercial and retail customers with comparable product and service offerings throughout our Montana markets. The President/Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

 

The CODM is responsible for assessing performance and allocating operating and capital expenditure resources. The CODM regularly assesses the performance of the single operating and reporting segment based on consolidated net income. The CODM reviews expenses at a level consistent with those reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. All significant expense categories are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The measure of segment assets is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as total assets.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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. This update requires that public companies disclose details about specific expenses, among other things, such as employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, depletion, and inventory purchases. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after  December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In  January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which clarifies the effective date identified under ASU No. 2024-03. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In  November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans,” which amends the accounting for acquired loans by introducing a category of purchased seasoned loans and expanding the use of the gross-up approach, requiring qualifying acquired loans to be recorded at purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses rather than recognizing a Day-1 provision through earnings. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after  December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods, and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption, including the potential effect on the accounting for loans acquired in future acquisitions.
