CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words, or such other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:

•business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our local market areas;

•the impact of COVID-19 (including the emergence of multiple COVID-19 variants) on our business, the communities where we have our banking centers, the state of Louisiana, and the United States, related to the economy and overall financial stability;

•government and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•government intervention in the U.S. financial system, including the effects of recent and future legislative, tax, accounting, and regulatory actions and reforms, including the CARES Act, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and the Economic Aid Act, which established the SBA PPP, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other stimulus legislation or changes in banking, securities, accounting, and tax laws and regulations, and their application by our regulators;

•changes in management personnel;

•increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions;

•volatility and direction of market interest rates;

•our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships and our reputation, and to otherwise avoid liquidity risks;

•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;

•changes in the value of collateral securing our loans;

•risks associated with system failures or failures to protect against cybersecurity threats, such as breaches of our network security;

•deterioration of our asset quality;

•the adequacy of our reserves, including our allowance for loan losses;

•operational risks associated with our business;

•natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism, pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control;

•our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;

•compliance with the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us;

•the cessation of LIBOR effective June 30, 2023, and the impact of any replacement alternatives on our business;

•changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, or policies relating to financial institutions, accounting, tax, trade, monetary, and fiscal matters; and

•the risk factors found in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report and other reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Report.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do 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 factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, general practices within the financial services industry, and instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes in presentation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changed the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, including loans HFI, securities, and unfunded commitments, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. Accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses are considered critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. Changes in factors and forecasts used in evaluating the overall loan portfolio may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses and related provision expense in future periods. The allowance level is influenced by loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, current economic conditions, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations. Changes to the assumptions in the model in future periods could have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to “- Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023” for a detailed discussion on the Company’s methodologies for estimating expected credit losses.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans HFI, securities HTM, and unfunded commitments. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for securities AFS, which requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on securities AFS that management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold until each security has recovered its cost basis.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023, are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a $569,000, net of tax, decrease to stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2023, for the cumulative effect of

adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment included a $278,000 increase to the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan losses and established a $442,000 reserve for unfunded commitments as presented in the following table.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold, for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on loans is discontinued and placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Loans, excluding credit cards, are charged-off to the extent management is relatively certain that principal and interest will be uncollectible. Credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, uncollected accrued interest is reversed, reducing interest income, and future income accrual is discontinued. Subsequent payments, if any, of interest and fees are applied as reductions to the loan’s outstanding principal balance. Once the principal balance of a loan placed on nonaccrual status has been fully recovered, subsequent payments received are recognized as interest income on a cash basis. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. The amount of the ACL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts, or at all. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management is relatively certain that principal and interest will be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates Company and peer historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term, as well as for changes in economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in our historic loss factors. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity.

The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. The Company utilizes cohort loss rate (static pool analysis) and remaining life loss rate methodologies to estimate the quantitative portion of the ACL for loan pools. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool.

Table of Contents

The portfolio pools are based primarily on regulatory call report codes. These pools and certain of the inherent risks in the Company’s loan portfolio are summarized in the following table.


Loan Pool			Risk Characteristics
Residential construction			This category consists of loans to residential developers and to individual clients for construction of single-family homes. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, and change in market trends.
Commercial construction			This category consists of loans to small and medium-sized businesses to construct owner occupied facilities and developers of commercial real estate investment properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, change in market trends, and the ability to sell the property upon completion.
Farmland			This category consists of loans secured by real estate that is used or usable for agricultural purposes, including land used for crops, livestock production, grazing/pastureland, and timberland. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include adverse changes in climate, fluctuations in feed and livestock prices, and changes in property values.
Home equity loans and lines			This category consists of home equity loans and lines of credit. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment.
Secured closed-liens			This category consists of loans secured by primary and secondary liens on residential real estate. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment. Generally, these loans are for longer terms than home equity loans and lines of credit.
Multifamily			This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, changes in the local economy, and factors that would impact property values.
Owner occupied commercial real estate			This category consists of loans to established operating companies and secured by owner occupied offices and industrial real estate properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management.
Non-owner occupied commercial real estate			This category consists of loans to developers and other persons or entities and secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management.
Commercial and industrial			This category consists of secured and unsecured loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans, and other business loans for working capital and operating purposes. Secured loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and other business assets. The performance of commercial and industrial loans may be adversely affected by, among other factors, conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral, and individual performance factors related to the borrower such as the quality of the borrower’s management.
Consumer			This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal use. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include the borrower’s financial condition, local unemployment rates, local economic conditions and the interest rate environment.
Tax-exempt			This category consists of loans to political subdivisions primarily of the State of Louisiana including parishes, municipalities, utility districts, school districts, and development authorities. These loans undergo the same underwriting as any of our other loans and are typically paid for by ad valorem taxes or specific revenue sources.
Other loans			This category consists of loans not included in any other category. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local economic conditions, and the interest rate environment.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s

exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used. Either of these determinations are highly subjective and based on information available at the time of valuation.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within accrued interest payable on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision is recorded in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded commitment balance to obtain the reserve amount.

Securities AFS

ASC 326 requires the Company to measure expected credit losses on securities AFS. Impairment is evaluated when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management evaluates each security by considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, volatility of the security’s fair value, and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral, along with other factors. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. If a decline in the fair value related to creditworthiness or other factors is determined, an ACL will be calculated using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management will compare the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the investment securities and no ACL is recorded on accrued interest receivable. The Company’s current securities AFS portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency securities, and municipal bonds. The Company’s securities AFS, other than the municipal bonds, are considered treasuries, agencies, and instrumentalities of the U.S. government, which have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Municipal bonds AFS do not fall under the zero credit loss assumption and are evaluated quarterly using the considerations mentioned above to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. Due to the zero credit loss assumption and the considerations applied to the securities AFS, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023 for securities AFS.

Securities HTM

ASC 326 requires the Company to measure expected credit losses on securities HTM. Securities HTM are measured on a collective basis by major security type with those sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the securities HTM portfolio. Management monitors the HTM portfolio to determine whether an ACL should be recorded. The Company’s current securities HTM portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency securities. Our securities HTM are considered agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government that have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Due to the zero credit loss assumption, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023 for securities HTM.

ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update address how to determine whether a contract liability is recognized by the acquirer in a business combination. The amendment also resolves the inconsistency of post-acquisition revenue recognition by providing specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2021-08. Adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance issued in this update eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, but also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. The guidance issued in this update addresses two issues. First, the standard requires entities to determine whether a related party arrangement between entities under common control is a lease. If the arrangement is a lease, the accounting for the lease is treated the same as an arrangement with an unrelated party. This is a change in the requirement under Topic 840, Leases, which used the basis of economic substance. Secondly, the standard requires leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. If the lessor obtained control of the use of the underlying asset through a lease with another entity not within the common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group. If the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset, the improvement is accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity. These leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. Both items of this amendment are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim periods and annual financial statements that have not been issued. On January 1, 2023, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2023-01, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Securities

Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. Total securities were $765.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

Securities AFS and Securities HTM

Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $611.8 million. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $71.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

Securities HTM, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2023, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $149.4 million.

Investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included $8.8 million of securities purchased, partially offset by $16.4 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no purchases or sales of securities HTM for the same period.

Accounting for Credit Losses – Securities AFS and Securities HTM

The Company evaluates securities AFS for impairment when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Due to the zero credit loss assumption and the considerations applied to the securities AFS, no ACL was recorded on January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023 for securities AFS. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, we consider our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy, and interest rate risk position. Management does not intend to sell these securities prior to recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold them, primarily due to adequate liquidity, until each security has recovered its cost basis.

Due to the zero credit loss assumption on the securities HTM portfolio, no ACL has been recorded for securities HTM on January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

Accrued interest receivable totaled $2.9 million and $3.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for securities AFS and securities HTM and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

Impaired Loans

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, when ASC 326 was adopted, the Company’s individually evaluated impaired loans included TDRs and performing and nonperforming loans. Once a loan was deemed to be impaired, the difference between the loan value and the Bank’s exposure was charged-off or a specific reserve was established.

Information pertaining to impaired loans as of December 31, 2022, is as follows:

Loan Modifications

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures effective January 1, 2023, using the prospective method. This ASU eliminates the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and requires all loan modifications to be evaluated based on whether the

Table of Contents

modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Modifications are made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, and the modified terms are in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension in the current reporting period. As of March 31, 2023, no loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, when ASC 326 was adopted, the restructuring of a loan was considered a TDR if the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and the Bank had granted a concession. There were no loans modified during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, there were no defaults on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that had been modified as a TDR during the prior twelve months.

Credit Quality Indicators

Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows:

Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.

Special mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.

Substandard - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.

Doubtful - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.

Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for credit losses.

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $366.5 million and $377.6 million, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $14.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method and established a reserve for unfunded commitments based on estimates of expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the reserve on unfunded commitments was $442,000.

4. Deposits

Deposits were $2.73 billion and $2.80 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This decrease was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity, combined with normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers. Also during the first quarter of 2023, there was a deposit mix shift between deposit categories as customers moved funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. Deposits are summarized below:

5. Contingencies

The Company and the Bank are involved, from time to time, in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims or litigation cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of management, neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

6. Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Disclosure

Securities AFS, loans HFS, and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, foreclosed assets, and other certain assets. The nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels:

•Level 1 pricing represents quotes on the exact financial instrument that is traded in active markets. Quoted prices on actively traded equities, for example, are in this category.

•Level 2 pricing is derived from observable data including market spreads, current and projected rates, prepayment data, and credit quality. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 pricing is derived without the use of observable data. In such cases, mark-to-model strategies are typically employed. Often, these types of instruments have no active market, possess unique characteristics, and are thinly traded.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities AFS and Equity Securities: The fair values for securities AFS are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Loans HFS: Residential mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. The fair values of mortgage loans HFS are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans HFS are recurring Level 2.

Loans HFI: The Company does not record loans HFI at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance may be established. Loans for which it was probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using estimated fair value methodologies. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, and discounted cash flows. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determined the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, foreclosed assets are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market, and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain impaired collateral dependent loans reported at fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Prior to foreclosure of these loans, fair value of the collateral is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

The table below presents certain impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through the allowance for loan losses or credit losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral during the reported periods:

Fair value of impaired loans	$	77	$	73

The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities: Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include certain foreclosed assets, which are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses upon initial recognition as a foreclosed asset. Subsequent to their initial recognition, certain foreclosed assets are remeasured at fair value through an adjustment included in other noninterest income. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria less estimated selling costs.

7. Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. 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 effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Basel III Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to Basel III capital guidelines. Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain certain minimum ratios to meet capital adequacy requirements. It is management’s belief that, as of March 31, 2023, both the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. Management expects that the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed capital adequacy requirements. The most recent notification from the FDIC (as of September 30, 2022) categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Table of Contents

Bank holding companies that qualify as “small bank holding companies” under the Policy Statement are exempt from the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital adequacy ratios at the holding company level and instead are evaluated at the bank level. In May 2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Because the Company had less than $3.0 billion in assets as of each of the June 30th measurement dates starting with the Economic Growth Act’s enactment and going through June 30, 2021, the Company has received benefits under the Policy Statement through 2022, except with regard to the timing of the Red River Bank safety and soundness exam by the FDIC and the OFI. Due to the timing of the asset balance determination for the Red River Bank safety and soundness examination, a 12-month examination cycle began in the second half of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the last applicable measurement date, the Company had more than $3.0 billion in assets. Therefore, effective January 1, 2023, the Company no longer receives any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements.

Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework

As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available to the Company and the Bank as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the CBLR framework, and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.

8. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Director Compensation Program stock options and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive EPS calculation assumes all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the year, and the pro forma proceeds from the exercised options and restricted stock are used to purchase common stock at the average fair market valuation price.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the Company were as follows:

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 4, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of its 2022 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2022. The renewed program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 6,795 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $346,000. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $4.7 million available for repurchasing its common stock under this program.

AOCI - Transfer of Unrealized Gain (Loss) of Securities AFS and HTM

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from AFS to HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. The net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI, is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of

the transfer. As of March 31, 2023, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $15.6 million, of which $12.3 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI.

CECL Adjustment - Implementation of Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology related to ASU No. 2016-13

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. The implementation of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments, and a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings.

FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company had slightly lower deposits and assets, consistent loans, and reduced earnings. Due to the changing interest rate environment and uncertainty in the banking industry, we monitored our liquidity position and deposit activity very closely. We increased our quarterly dividend to $0.08 per common share and implemented the CECL methodology.

•Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $9.6 million, or $1.33 diluted EPS, a decrease of $593,000, or 5.8%, compared to $10.2 million, or $1.42 diluted EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2022. These decreases were mainly due to a $765,000 decrease in net interest income, partially offset by having no provision for credit losses expense under the new CECL methodology.

•For the first quarter of 2023, the return on assets was 1.28%, and the return on equity was 14.33%.

•As of March 31, 2023, assets were $3.03 billion, a decrease of $52.1 million, or 1.7%, from December 31, 2022. The decrease in assets was mainly due to a $67.6 million decrease in deposits.

•Deposits totaled $2.73 billion as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of $67.6 million, or 2.4%, compared to $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, in addition to a slight decrease in total deposits, there was also a shift of balances between deposit categories. These changes were a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit activity combined with the normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers.

•As of March 31, 2023, loans HFI were $1.92 billion, consistent with December 31, 2022.

•As of March 31, 2023, total securities were $765.2 million compared to $776.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Securities decreased $10.8 million primarily due to the sale of a portion of a CRA mutual fund and principal repayments.

•In the first quarter of 2023, the Company maintained an average of $241.7 million of liquid funds and had various borrowing alternatives, but no borrowings. Also, effective March 12, 2023, Red River Bank could participate in the Federal Reserve Board’s Bank Term Funding Program, a new liquidity source.

•Net interest income and net interest margin FTE decreased in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $22.9 million compared to $23.7 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE was 3.13% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.17% for the prior quarter. These decreases were mainly due to the higher interest rate environment resulting in intensified deposit rate pressure and higher deposit costs.

•CECL became effective for Red River Bank on January 1, 2023. The adoption of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments. This adjustment was 3.5% of the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan losses. No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2023.

•As of March 31, 2023, NPAs were $2.4 million, or 0.08% of assets, and the ACL was $20.9 million, or 1.09% of loans HFI.

•We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share in the first quarter of 2023.

•The 2023 stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 6,795 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $346,000.

•In our Southwest market, we closed one of our banking centers in the first quarter of 2023 and relocated the staff and services to an existing, recently expanded banking center.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $9.6 million, or $1.33 diluted EPS, a decrease of $593,000, or 5.8%, compared to $10.2 million, or $1.42 diluted EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income was due to a $765,000 decrease in net interest income, a $406,000 increase in operating expenses, and a $279,000 decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a $750,000 decrease in provision for credit losses and a $107,000 decrease in income tax expense. The return on assets for the first quarter of 2023 was 1.28%, compared to 1.33% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The return on equity was 14.33% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 16.34% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2023 was 56.84%, compared to 54.76% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $9.6 million, or $1.33 diluted EPS, an increase of $2.2 million, or 29.8%, compared to $7.4 million, or $1.03 diluted EPS, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net income was due to a $4.2 million increase in net interest income and a $150,000 decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in operating expenses, a $637,000 increase in income tax expense, and a $62,000 decrease in noninterest income. The return on assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 1.28%, compared to 0.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The return on equity was 14.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 10.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our efficiency ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 56.84%, compared to 60.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets; (2) the cost of deposits and other funding sources; (3) net interest spread; and (4) net interest margin. Since noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing funding sources.

Between March 2020 and March 2023, the interest rate environment has changed significantly. In March 2020, the target federal funds rate decreased 150 bps to a range of 0.00% to 0.25% and remained at that rate until March 2022, when the FOMC began increasing the target federal funds rate. The FOMC increased the target federal funds rate by 425 bps in 2022 and an additional 50 bps in the first quarter of 2023. The average effective federal funds rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 4.52% compared to 3.65% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 0.12% for the first quarter of 2022. The net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were impacted by the target federal funds rate increases by the FOMC over the last year.

First Quarter of 2023 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2022

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $22.9 million, which was $765,000, or 3.2%, lower than the fourth quarter of 2022, due to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $750,000 increase in interest and dividend income. The increase in interest expense was due to increased deposit rates combined with larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts. In responding to deposit rate competition, we increased the rates on time deposits and money market accounts. The cost of deposits increased 24 bps to 0.71% for the first quarter of 2023 from 0.47% for the prior quarter. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to increases in income on loans and short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $480,000 due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans. The rate on these loans was 6.68% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 6.25% for the prior quarter. Income on short-term liquid assets increased $217,000 due to the FOMC’s increases to the target federal funds rate.

The net interest margin FTE decreased four bps to 3.13% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.17% for the prior quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by higher deposit rates as a result of the deposit rate pressures. As we increased rates on several of our deposit products, there was a change to the deposit mix due to customers moving deposits from lower yielding accounts to higher yielding accounts. This increased the total cost of deposits by 24 bps, while the rate on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 60 bps and 28 bps, respectively. The higher cost of deposits was partially offset by a 16 bp increase in the yield on loans and an 83 bp increase in the yield on short-term liquid assets, which were driven by the higher interest rate environment.

On May 3, 2023, the FOMC increased the target federal funds rate by 25 bps. The current expectation is that the FOMC will leave the target federal funds rate consistent over the next few meetings. Our balance sheet is asset sensitive, and interest income on earning assets generally improves in a higher interest rate environment. However, we are experiencing additional pressure on deposit interest rates due to the higher interest rate environment and competition for deposits. As of March 31, 2023, floating rate loans were 13.4% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 4.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity, deposit rate pressure, and shift of the deposit mix, we expect the net interest margin FTE and net interest income to continue to compress.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $22.9 million, which was $4.2 million, or 22.3%, higher than $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income increased due to a $7.7 million increase in interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in interest expense.

The increase in interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to an increase in loan income and an increase in income on short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $5.0 million due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans and a $227.9 million increase in the average balance of loans, when compared to the same period prior year. Income on short-term liquid assets increased $2.1 million due to the FOMC’s increases to the target federal funds rate, partially offset by a $434.0 million decrease in the average balance of short-term liquid assets. Interest expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to increased deposit pressures, resulting in increased rates on interest-bearing deposits.

Table of Contents

Net interest margin FTE increased 67 bps to 3.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 2.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the higher interest rate environment and an improved asset mix. The yield on loans increased 57 bps due to higher loan rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans due to the rising interest rate environment. Our deployment of lower-yielding short-term liquid assets into higher-yielding loans also benefited the net interest margin FTE. In addition, the yield on short-term liquid assets was 437 bps higher during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The net interest margin FTE was negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of deposits. The cost of deposits increased 53 bps to 0.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 0.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to an 86 bp increase in the rate on interest-bearing deposits. Within total interest-bearing deposits, the rate on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 98 bps and 80 bps, respectively. These rates increased due to rate competition for deposits that began in the second half of 2022.

Rate/Volume Analysis

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. The change in interest attributable to rate has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. The guidance for CECL replaces our previous incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects the current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit losses.

The provision for credit losses is the amount necessary to maintain the ACL at a level considered appropriate by management. Factors impacting the provision include loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, and current economic conditions.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the provision for credit losses:

Provision for credit losses	$	—	$	750	$	(750)	(100.0)	%

No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2023 under the new CECL methodology. The fourth quarter of 2022 provision for loan losses was $750,000 due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The first quarter of 2022 provision for loan losses was $150,000. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2022 was due to the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth.

Noninterest Income

Our primary sources of noninterest income are fees related to the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, brokerage income from advisory services, and other loan and deposit fees.

First Quarter of 2023 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2022

Noninterest income decreased $279,000 to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in noninterest income was mainly due to lower brokerage and mortgage income.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income:

Other income (loss)	64		61		3		4.9	%
Total noninterest income	$	4,340	$	4,619	$	(279)	(6.0)	%

Brokerage income decreased $206,000 to $807,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $1.0 million for the previous quarter. The income in the fourth quarter of 2022 benefited from funds invested by new clients during that period. Assets under management were $965.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

Mortgage loan income decreased $178,000 to $275,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $453,000 for the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced purchase activity due to higher mortgage interest rates.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Noninterest income decreased $62,000 to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in noninterest income was due to lower mortgage loan income, offset by a gain on equity securities, higher income from an SBIC limited partnership of which Red River Bank is a member, and increased loan and deposit income.

Mortgage loan income decreased $852,000 to $275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.1 million for the same period prior year due to rising mortgage interest rates and reduced purchase activity.

Equity securities are an investment in a CRA mutual fund consisting primarily of bonds. The gain or loss on equity securities is a fair value adjustment primarily driven by changes in the interest rate environment. In the first quarter of 2023, we sold $6.0 million of the CRA mutual fund. The mutual fund had a gain of $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $365,000 for the same period in 2022.

SBIC income increased $160,000 to $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to higher operating income being distributed by the SBIC in the first quarter of 2023.

Loan and deposit income increased $106,000 to $477,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $371,000 for the same period prior year. This increase was primarily associated with fees related to customers moving funds from lower yielding deposit accounts to higher yielding deposit accounts.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships, and providing services.

First Quarter of 2023 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2022

Operating expenses increased $406,000 to $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, regulatory assessment expenses, and occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by lower data processing expense and other business development expenses.

Personnel expenses increased $319,000 to $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was due to higher personnel health insurance expenses. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had 352 and 351 total employees, respectively.

Regulatory assessment expenses increased $129,000 to $406,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was due to the FDIC raising the deposit insurance assessment rate two bps, effective January 1, 2023, for all insured depository institutions.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $104,000 to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was due to $161,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to opening our new operations center building.

Data processing expense decreased $209,000 to $400,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to receipt of a $252,000 periodic refund from our data processing center in the first quarter of 2023.

Other business development expenses decreased $130,000 to $436,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of CRA related contributions.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Operating expenses increased $1.4 million to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, regulatory assessment expenses, and other business development expenses.

Personnel expenses increased $548,000 to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had 352 and 355 total employees, respectively. Personnel expenses increased due to higher personnel health insurance expenses, filled previously open positions, and expanded staff in our New Orleans market.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $225,000 to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was due to opening our new operations center building and a full period of expenses related to opening a new full-service banking center in our New Orleans market in the third quarter of 2022.

Regulatory assessment expenses increased $156,000 to $406,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was due to the FDIC raising the deposit insurance assessment rate by two bps, effective January 1, 2023, for all insured depository institutions.

Other business development expenses increased $133,000 to $436,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in community sponsorships and CRA related contributions, as well as expenses associated with an SBIC limited partnership.

Income Tax Expense

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Our effective income tax rates have differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities, life insurance policies, and the income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, income tax expense:


	For the Three Months Ended

Income tax expense	$	2,163	$	2,270	$	(107)	(4.7)	%

For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, income tax expense totaled $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rates for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were 18.4% and 18.2%, respectively.

General

As of March 31, 2023, assets were $3.03 billion, which was $52.1 million, or 1.7%, lower than $3.08 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in deposits.

As of March 31, 2023, the loans HFI to deposits ratio was 70.36%, compared to 68.46% as of December 31, 2022, and the noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits ratio was 38.81%, compared to 38.96% as of December 31, 2022.

Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Banks

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks were the third-largest component of earning assets as of March 31, 2023. Excess liquidity that is not being deployed into loans or securities is placed in these accounts. As of March 31, 2023, interest-bearing deposits in other banks were $194.7 million and were 6.4% of assets, a decrease of $45.8 million, or 19.1%, compared to $240.6 million and 7.8% of assets as of December 31, 2022. In the first three months of 2023, our interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased as deposits decreased.

Securities

Our securities portfolio is the second-largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. As of March 31, 2023, our total securities portfolio was 25.2% of assets. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring unnecessary interest rate and credit risk, and complement our lending activities. We may invest in various types of liquid assets that are permissible under governing regulations and approved by our investment policy, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit of insured domestic banks, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, corporate notes having an investment rating of “A” or better, municipal bonds, and certain equity securities.

Securities AFS and Securities HTM

Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Total debt securities were $761.2 million as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 0.6%, from $766.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $611.8 million. The carrying values of our securities AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any unrealized gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $71.2 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to a net unrealized loss of $74.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The net unrealized loss is attributed to changes in market rates.

Securities HTM, which we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2023, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $149.4 million. Securities HTM had an unrealized loss of $19.9 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to an unrealized loss of $19.3 million as December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

The securities AFS portfolio tax-equivalent yield was 1.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 1.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in yield for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period for 2022, was due to purchasing securities with a higher yield than the portfolio yield in the first quarter of 2023.

The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable indicator of their expected lives because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgage loans and other loans with varying maturities. The term of the underlying mortgages and loans may vary significantly due to the ability of a borrower to prepay. Monthly pay downs on mortgage-backed securities may cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than the stated contractual maturity. During a period of rising interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities are not likely to experience heavy prepayments of principal, and consequently, the average lives of these securities are typically lengthened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments may increase, thereby shortening the estimated average lives of these securities. As of March 31, 2023, the average life of our securities portfolio was 6.6 years with an estimated effective duration of 4.9 years. As of December 31, 2022, the average life of our securities portfolio was 6.8 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.0 years.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost and estimated fair value of our securities by type as of the dates indicated. As of March 31, 2023, other than securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any one issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity.

Loan Portfolio

Our loan portfolio is our largest category of earning assets, and interest income earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of income. We maintain a diversified loan portfolio with a focus on commercial real estate, one-to-four family residential, and commercial and industrial loans. As of March 31, 2023, loans HFI were $1.92 billion, consistent with December 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, new loan originations were offset by payments and paydowns.

LIBOR

In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced its intent to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Subsequently, on March 5, 2021, it was announced that certain U.S. Dollar LIBOR rates would cease to be published after June 30, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, 1.4% of our loans HFI were LIBOR-based with a setting that expires June 30, 2023. Alternative rate language is present in each credit agreement with a LIBOR-based rate. We do not anticipate any issue with transitioning each loan to a non-LIBOR-based rate.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming Assets

NPAs consist of nonperforming loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession. Nonperforming loans include loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more and loans that are on nonaccrual status. Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due.

Asset quality is managed through disciplined underwriting policies, continual monitoring of loan performance, and focused management of NPAs. There can be no assurance, however, that the loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions, deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers, or a decline in the value of collateral.

NPAs totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.08% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Potential Problem Loans

From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans in one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. Loan classifications reflect a judgment about the risk of default and loss associated with the loans. Classifications are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss believed to be inherent in each loan. The methodology is structured so that reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).

Loans classified as pass are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.

Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If these weaknesses are not corrected, repayment possibilities for the loan may deteriorate. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.

Table of Contents

Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.

Loans classified as doubtful have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes loans HFI by risk rating:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Amount		Percent		Amount		Percent
Pass	$	1,899,906	98.9	%	$	1,893,491	98.8	%

Total loans HFI	$	1,921,850	100.0	%	$	1,916,267	100.0	%

There were no loans as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022, classified as doubtful or loss.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, as amended, using the modified retrospective method. For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, we maintain an ACL on all loans that reflects management’s best estimate of expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023” in this Report for more information regarding our ACL methodologies.

In determining the ACL for loans HFI, we estimate losses on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually and excluded from the collective evaluation. The ACL is determined using the CECL model, which considers relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, the ALL was established for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio based upon management’s best assessment of the loan portfolio. It was maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb potential losses through periodic changes to loan losses.

As of March 31, 2023, the ACL was $20.9 million, or 1.09% of loans HFI. As of December 31, 2022, the ALL totaled $20.6 million, or 1.08% of loans HFI. The $226,000 increase in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was mainly due to the adoption of ASC 326, which resulted in a $278,000 increase to the December 31, 2022 ALL balance.

No provision for credit losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The provision for loan losses was $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2022 was due to the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

The following table displays activity in the ACL for March 31, 2023, and the ALL for March 31, 2022:

We believe that we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above. Future provisions for credit losses are subject to ongoing evaluations of the factors and loan portfolio risks, including economic pressures related to inflation, labor market and supply chain constraints, and natural disasters affecting the state of Louisiana. A decline in market area economic conditions, deterioration of asset quality, or growth in portfolio size could cause the allowance to become inadequate, and material additional provisions for credit losses could be required.

Deposits

Deposits are the primary funding source for loans and investments. We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain consumer, commercial, and public entity customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and time deposit accounts. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities located primarily in our market areas. We do not have any internet-sourced or brokered deposits.

Total deposits decreased $67.6 million, or 2.4%, to $2.73 billion as of March 31, 2023, from $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity, combined with normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers. Also during the first quarter of 2023, there was a deposit mix shift between deposit categories as customers moved funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $30.5 million, or 2.8%, to $1.06 billion as of March 31, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 38.81% as of March 31, 2023, compared to 38.96% as of December 31, 2022. Interest-bearing deposits decreased by $37.1 million, or 2.2%, to $1.67 billion as of March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Red River Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. As of March 31, 2023, the average deposit account size was approximately $29,000, compared to $30,000 as of December 31, 2022.

In 2022, we implemented the IntraFi Network Insured Cash Sweep and related reciprocal balance programs for qualified commercial customers. The IntraFi Network Insured Cash Sweep program provides our customers a demand deposit sweep account that has a competitive interest rate as well as full FDIC insurance coverage. As of March 31, 2023, we had $96.9 million swept off our balance sheet. The related reciprocal program brings deposit balances back on to our balance sheet as interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. As of March 31, 2023, we had $97.2 million of interest-bearing demand deposit accounts.

We manage our interest expense on deposits through a deposit pricing strategy that is based on competitive pricing, economic conditions, and current or anticipated funding needs. We adjust deposit rates in part based upon our anticipated funding needs and liquidity position. We also consider the potential interest rate risk caused by extended maturities of time deposits when adjusting deposit rates.

Our average deposit balance was $2.75 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $19.8 million, or 0.7%, from $2.77 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits for the first quarter of 2023 was 1.16% and 0.71%, respectively, compared to 0.81% and 0.47% for the prior quarter, respectively. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior quarter was due to increased deposit rates in response to deposit rate competition. Also, as of March 31, 2023, 4.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits had floating rates, which adjust with market rates.

As of March 31, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $871.6 million, or 31.9% of total deposits, compared to $975.1 million, or 34.8% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of March 31, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $698.0 million, or 25.6% of total deposits, compared to $786.9 million, or 28.1% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents of $229.2 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.35 billion equaled 181.6% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 226.8% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits.

The following table presents the amount of time deposits, by account, that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) by time remaining until maturity for the period indicated:

Borrowings

Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may, from time to time, utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when such borrowings can then be invested at a positive interest rate spread for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our liquidity needs. We had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Equity and Regulatory Capital Requirements

Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2023 was $276.6 million compared to $265.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The $10.9 million, or 4.1%, increase in stockholders’ equity was attributed to $9.6 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a $2.6 million, net of tax, decrease to AOCI related to securities, and $153,000 of stock compensation, partially offset by $574,000 in cash dividends, a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings related to the adoption of CECL, and the repurchase of 6,795 shares of common stock for $346,000.

On November 4, 2022, our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2022 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2022. The renewed program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may be subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. While we may complete transactions subject to the new excise tax, we do not expect a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 6,795 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $346,000. As of March 31, 2023, we had $4.7 million available for repurchasing our common stock under this program.

Table of Contents

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. The implementation of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments, and a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings.

The Economic Growth Act, which was signed into law in May 2018, provides, among other items, certain targeted modifications to prior financial services reform regulatory requirements. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Because we had less than $3.0 billion in assets as of each of the June 30th measurement dates starting with the Economic Growth Act’s enactment and going through June 30, 2021, we received benefits under the Policy Statement through 2022, except with regard to the timing of the Red River Bank safety and soundness exam by the FDIC and the OFI. Due to the timing of the asset balance determination for the Red River Bank safety and soundness examination, a 12-month examination cycle began in the second half of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the last applicable measurement date, we had more than $3.0 billion in assets. Therefore, effective January 1, 2023, we no longer receive any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements.

Another significant provision of the Economic Growth Act was the directive that federal bank regulatory agencies adopt a threshold for a CBLR framework. As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, we had sufficient liquid assets available, $1.35 billion in available borrowing capacity, and no outstanding borrowings under any available sources.

Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and potential acquisitions or to reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities, and cash flows from amortizing security and loan portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and prepayments on amortizing securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and the competitive environment in which we operate; therefore, these cash flows are monitored regularly.

Our levels of liquid assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Access to purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are also available. Purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances can be utilized to meet funding obligations.

Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is the funding of loans. We invest excess deposits in interest-earning deposits at other banks or at the Federal Reserve, federal funds sold, securities, or other short-term liquid investments until the deposits are needed to fund loan growth or other obligations. Our average deposits decreased $98.2 million, or 3.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the average deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in average total deposits was primarily a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity, combined with normal seasonal drawdowns by

Table of Contents

public entity customers. Our average total loans increased $101.8 million, or 5.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to average total loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $229.2 million, compared to $278.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease of $49.2 million, or 17.7%, was primarily due to the decrease in deposits during the first quarter.

Our securities AFS portfolio is an alternative source for meeting liquidity needs and was our second-largest component of assets as of March 31, 2023. Securities generate cash flow through principal repayments, calls, and maturities. As of March 31, 2023, we project receipt of approximately $100.0 million of principal repayments through December 31, 2023. Securities AFS can also generally be sold or used as collateral in borrowings that allow for their conversion to cash. As of March 31, 2023, securities AFS totaled $611.8 million, or 20.2% of assets, compared to $614.4 million, or 19.9% of assets, as of December 31, 2022. However, certain investments within our securities AFS portfolio are also used to secure specific deposit types, such as public entities, which impacts their liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, securities AFS with a carrying value of $189.0 million, or 30.9% of the securities AFS portfolio, were pledged to secure public entity deposits as compared to securities AFS with a carrying value of $156.7 million, or 25.5% of the securities AFS portfolio, similarly pledged as of December 31, 2022. The increase of $32.3 million, or 20.6%, was primarily due to an increase in several public entity deposit accounts that occurred during the first quarter of 2023. Public entity account balances generally fluctuate throughout the year.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we also held debt securities classified as HTM. However, significant limitations exist for selling debt securities classified as HTM; therefore, they are excluded from liquidity sources. For additional information on securities HTM, see “- Securities - Securities AFS and Securities HTM.”

We also utilize the FHLB as needed as a viable funding source. FHLB advances may be used to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB advance compares favorably to the rates that would be required to attract the necessary deposits. We currently are classified as having “blanket lien collateral status”, which means that advances can be executed at any time without further collateral requirements. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our total borrowing availability from the FHLB was $891.9 million and $875.8 million, respectively. At various times, we may obtain letters of credit from the FHLB as collateral for our public entity deposits. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held letters of credit in the amount of $15.9 million and $100.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our net borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $876.0 million and $774.9 million, respectively. If utilized, a one year advance from the FHLB would carry an interest rate of 5.10% as of April 30, 2023.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks that provided for the availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $95.0 million in federal funds as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The rates for the federal funds lines are determined by the applicable commercial bank at the time of borrowing. We also maintain an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total borrowing capacity of $101.0 million through these combined funding sources. We had no outstanding balances from either of these sources as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

If needed, the Federal Reserve Board’s Bank Term Funding Program is available to us, which gives us the option to use eligible securities as collateral for a loan of up to one year from the Federal Reserve. As of March 31, 2023, our eligible securities totaled approximately $377.0 million. If utilized, a Bank Term Funding Program loan would have an interest rate of 4.92% as of April 30, 2023

Commitments to Extend Credit

In the normal course of business, we enter into certain financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments include revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and are primarily issued for commercial purposes. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $366.5 million in unfunded loan commitments and $14.3 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2022, we had $377.6 million in unfunded loan commitments and $14.6 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As commitments associated with

Table of Contents

letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding commitments may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

Investment Commitments

The Company is party to various investment commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s exposure is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

In 2014, the Company committed to an investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of March 31, 2023, there was a $226,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.

In 2020, the Company committed to an additional investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of March 31, 2023, there was a $3.6 million outstanding commitment to this partnership.

In 2021, the Company committed to an investment into a bank technology limited partnership. As of March 31, 2023, there was a $562,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset-liability management policies provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our rate sensitivity position within our established policy guidelines.

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet appropriately during the ordinary course of business. We have the ability to enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in limited circumstances, but it is not our policy to enter into such transactions on a regular basis. We do not enter into instruments such as financial options, financial futures contracts, or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We are not subject to foreign exchange risk, and our commodity price risk is immaterial, as the percentage of our agricultural loans to loans HFI was only 0.52% as of March 31, 2023.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by Red River Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk and monitors the results of those strategies. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital given the current outlook on interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies, and other related factors.

The committee meets quarterly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and economic values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits, and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as an interest rate simulation model and shock analysis.

In conjunction with our interest rate risk management process, on a quarterly basis, we run various simulations within a static balance sheet model. This model tests the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Our nonparallel rate shock simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve.

Bank policy regarding interest rate risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 15.0% for a 200 bp shift. Bank policy regarding economic value at risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated fair value of equity for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 20.0% for a 100 bp shift and 25.0% for a 200 bp shift.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the impact of an instantaneous and parallel change in rates, at the levels indicated, and summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated.


	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	% Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Fair Value of Equity		% Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Fair Value of Equity
Change in Interest Rates (Bps)
+300	4.8	%	(3.5)	%	6.4	%	(2.0)	%
+200	3.0	%	(2.3)	%	4.1	%	(1.2)	%
+100	1.7	%	(0.5)	%	2.2	%	0.0	%
Base	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%
-100	(1.4)	%	(1.1)	%	(2.6)	%	(1.2)	%
-200	(3.5)	%	(4.8)	%	(6.3)	%	(5.4)	%

The results above, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, demonstrate that our balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means our assets have the opportunity to reprice at a faster pace than our liabilities, over the 12-month horizon. However, due to recent deposit rate pressure, our deposit interest rates have adjusted more quickly than the change in the federal funds rate. This assumption is generally not reflected in a gap analysis, which is the process by which we measure the repricing gap between interest rate-sensitive assets versus interest rate-sensitive liabilities.

As of March 31, 2023, the reported percentage changes in net interest income and fair value of equity remained within the policy thresholds. These values are reported at each quarterly Asset-Liability Committee meeting. The net interest income at risk and the fair value of equity will continue to be monitored, and appropriate mitigating action will be taken if needed.

The impact of our floating rate loans and floating rate transaction deposits are also reflected in the results shown in the above table. As of March 31, 2023, floating rate loans were 13.4% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 4.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits.

The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies and the slope of the yield curve.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed in this Report as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner that we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this Report may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Share. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing tangible book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share.

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to

Table of Contents

period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets.

As a result of previous acquisitions, we have a small amount of intangible assets. As of March 31, 2023, total intangible assets were $1.5 million, which is less than 1.0% of total assets.

Realized Book Value Per Share. Realized book value per share is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that this measure is important because it allows us to monitor changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in AOCI. Our AOCI is impacted primarily by the unrealized gains and losses on securities AFS. These unrealized gains or losses on securities AFS are driven by market factors and may also be temporary and vary greatly from period to period. Due to the possibly temporary and greatly variable nature of these changes, we find it useful to monitor realized book value per share. We calculate realized book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less AOCI, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. AOCI has the effect of increasing or decreasing total book value while not increasing or decreasing realized book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for realized book value per share is book value per share.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity, stockholders’ equity to realized common equity, and assets to tangible assets, and presents related resulting ratios.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which created changes to the allowance for loan losses critical accounting policy that existed as of December 31, 2022. The allowance for loan losses critical accounting policy was

Table of Contents

replaced with the ACL critical accounting policy. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be collected over the lifetime of the loans. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates Company and peer historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgement and subjectivity.

The ACL is available to absorb losses on loans HFI, and the reserve for unfunded commitments is a liability established to absorb credit losses for the expected life of the contractual term of off-balance sheet exposures as of the date of the determination. The process and methodology employed to establish an ACL consist of two components: (1) a component involving individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Management establishes an allowance for individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans based on the amount of expected credit losses calculated on those individual loans and any amounts determined to be uncollectible. Factors considered in measuring the extent of expected credit losses include payment status, collateral value, borrower financial condition, guarantor support, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. For loans evaluated on an individual bases that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used.

In estimating an allowance for loans that share similar risk characteristics, loans are segmented into pools based on regulatory call report codes that are considered to share similar risk characteristics or areas of risk concentration. Expected credit losses are estimated using the cohort loss rate and remaining life loss rate methodologies. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. Once the losses have been tracked, the results are averaged together to determine the average remaining life loss rate to be applied to the current loans in the cohort and are adjusted for reasonable and supportable forecast periods, which is not to exceed a two-year period. Additionally, a lookback period and delay period are established for each pool, which affects the average remaining life loss rate. The lookback period defines how many quarterly cohort periods will be averaged together to form the average remaining life loss rate and varies by pool in order to capture the performance of cohorts under a variety of different conditions, both internal and external. The delay period defines the most recent cohort that will be used in the historical average and varies by pool due to the differing terms and remaining lives that may exist in different pools. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool and further adjusts for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecast periods.

Additionally, for loans that share similar risk characteristics, the ACL considers factors for each loan pool to adjust for differences between the historical period and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio related to:

•Lending policies and procedures;

•International, national, regional, and local economic business conditions;

•The nature of the loan portfolio, including the volume of the portfolio and terms of the loans;

•The experience, depth, and ability of our lending management;

•The volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions;

•The quality of the loan review and process;

•The value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;

•The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

•The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the historical loss experience for these expectations.

Management considers the appropriateness of these critical assumptions as part of its allowance review and believes the ACL level is appropriate based on information available through the financial statement date.

There were no other material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that we use when developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, an evaluation was performed by the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we, including our subsidiaries, are or may be involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against us or our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation or that of our subsidiaries, even if resolved favorably.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, see the information in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Due to recent bank failures in the financial services industry, several of the risk factors presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, have heightened risk or have been updated and can be seen below.

A lack of liquidity could impair our ability to fund operations.

Liquidity is essential to our business. We rely on our ability to generate deposits and effectively manage the repayment and maturity schedules of our loans and investment securities, respectively, to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to fund our operations. As can be seen from recent events regarding the operations and failures of other banks in the U.S., an inability to mitigate deposit withdrawals and to raise funds through new deposits, borrowings, the sale of investment securities at or above the value of such securities on our books, and other sources could have a material adverse effect on liquidity. Our most important source of funds is deposits. Historically, our deposits have provided a stable source of funds. However, deposit balances can decrease when customers perceive alternative investments as providing a better risk/return tradeoff or when customers have negative views related to disruption in the financial markets or the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. If our customers move money out of bank deposits, our liquidity position could be impacted, and we would lose a relatively low-cost source of funds, increasing our funding costs, and reducing our net interest income and net income. Even though a majority of our certificates of deposit renew upon maturity with what we believe are competitive rates, some of our more rate-sensitive customers may move those and other deposit funds to higher-yielding alternatives.

Our other primary sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, and proceeds from the issuance and sale of our equity to investors. As a secondary source of liquidity, we have the ability to borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions with whom we have a correspondent relationship. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Board’s Bank Term Funding Program. Historically, we have not utilized brokered or internet deposits to meet liquidity needs.

Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our activities or on terms that are acceptable to us, could be impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. These factors may include disruptions in the financial markets or negative expectations about the industry’s prospects. Our access to funding sources could also be affected by regulatory actions against us or by a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a downturn in the Louisiana economy or in economic conditions generally. A decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, or fulfill obligations such as meeting deposit withdrawal demands or repaying our borrowings.

We may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, and other relationships. We have exposure to different industries and counterparties and exposure through transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including broker-dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, and other financial intermediaries. In addition, we participate in loans originated by other institutions, and we participate in syndicated transactions (including shared national credits) in which other lenders serve as the lead bank. Further, recent high-profile bank failures have resulted in some degree of public awareness and caused widespread questions about potential concerns in the financial institutions industry. Defaults by, declines in the financial condition of, or even rumors or questions about one or more financial institutions, financial service companies, or the financial services industry generally, may lead to a decline in market-wide liquidity, asset quality problems, or other problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions.

We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance.

Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by the level of its assessment base and its risk classification under an FDIC risk-based assessment system. The FDIC has the power to change deposit insurance assessment rates, the

manner deposit insurance is calculated, and also to charge special assessments to FDIC-insured institutions. Following the recent bank failures, banking regulators announced that the FDIC will ensure that all depositors in the failed banks will receive full coverage of all of their deposits, at no cost to taxpayers. We anticipate that the FDIC will impose special assessments on all banks. Any future additional assessments, increases, or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could adversely impact our operating expenses and earnings.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our purchases of shares of common stock made during the quarter under our publicly announced stock repurchase program are summarized in the table below:


(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program(1)

Total	6,795	$	50.94	6,795	$	4,654

(1)On November 4, 2022, we announced that our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2022 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2022. The renewed repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions.
