Executive summary

  • Achieved 105% year-over-year pre-tax, pre-provision earnings growth and 45% EPS growth to $3.40, excluding merger-related charges, driven by disciplined growth and the Premier Financial (PFC) acquisition.

  • Net income for Q4, excluding merger/restructuring, was $81 million, with diluted EPS of $0.84, up 18% year-over-year.

  • Total assets grew 48% year-over-year to $27.7 billion; portfolio loans increased 52% to $19.2 billion, including $5.9 billion from PFC and 5.2% organic growth.

  • Deposits rose 53% year-over-year to $21.7 billion, fully funding loan growth.

  • Non-interest income for Q4 was $43.3 million, up 19% year-over-year; full-year non-interest income reached a record $167 million.

  • Efficiency ratio improved to 51.6% for Q4, reflecting operational discipline and expense synergies from the PFC acquisition.

Outlook and guidance

  • Modeling two 25 basis point Fed rate cuts in April and July 2026.

  • Q1 2026 net interest margin expected to be consistent with Q4, with gradual increases into the high 3.60% range by year-end.

  • Anticipate annual savings of $6 million from 27 branch closures, with expense run rate flat in Q1, rising in Q2 and modestly in the second half due to merit increases and technology investments.

  • Management expects continued positive operating leverage and further realization of cost synergies from the PFC acquisition.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
