FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) after the elimination of all intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments relating to items that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the results of the full year ending December 31, 2026. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Form 10-Q) and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2026 (the Form 10-K).
The Company is a financial holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices. The Company’s national bank, UMB Bank, National Association (the Bank), has its principal office in Missouri as well as branches and offices primarily located in the Midwestern, Southwestern, and Western regions of the United States.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.
On January 31, 2025 (Acquisition Date), the Company acquired Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (HTLF) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2024. See Note 13, “Acquisition” for additional information.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes Cash and due from banks and amounts due from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks are included in Cash and due from banks. Amounts due from the FRB are interest-bearing for all periods presented and are included in the Interest-bearing due from banks line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
This table provides a summary of cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
Due from the FRB
5,525,511
9,692,616
917,450
Also included in the Interest-bearing due from banks, but not considered cash and cash equivalents, are interest-bearing accounts held at other financial institutions, which totaled $129.8 million and $119.3 million at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Acquired Loans
Acquired loans are initially recorded at fair value. The Company’s accounting methods for acquired loans depends on whether or not the loan reflects more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of acquisition.
Non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
Non-purchased credit deteriorated (Non-PCD) loans do not reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of acquisition. These loans are recorded at fair value and an increase to the allowance for credit losses (ACL) is recorded with a corresponding increase to the provision for credit losses at the date of acquisition. The difference between fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the acquisition date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
Purchased loans that reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of acquisition are classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans. PCD loans are recorded at fair value plus the ACL expected at the time of acquisition. Under this method, there is no provision for credit losses on acquisition of PCD loans. The non-credit-related difference between fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the acquisition date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method.
Per Share Data
Basic net income per common share is computed using net income available to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is determined using net income available to common shareholders and the weighted average common shares and assumed incremental common shares issued. The following table provides the amounts used in the determination of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except share and per share data):
Three Months Ended March 31,
Net income available to common shareholders
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share
Assumed incremental common shares issued upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units
366,613
432,796
Weighted average common shares for diluted earnings per share
Number of antidilutive restricted stock units excluded from diluted earnings per share computation
202,485
Number of antidilutive stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share computation
4,962
Derivatives
The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Currently, 15 of the Company’s derivatives are designated in qualifying hedging relationships. However, the remainder of the Company’s derivatives are not designated in qualifying hedging relationships, as the derivatives are not used to manage risks within the Company’s assets or liabilities. All changes in fair value of the Company’s non-designated derivatives and fair value hedges are recognized directly in earnings. Changes in fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and are reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Income Statement Reporting In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” The amendments in this update require additional disclosures providing disaggregated information about prescribed categories underlying relevant income statement expense captions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements aside from additional disclosures.
4. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
Loan Origination/Risk Management
The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to minimize the level of risk within the loan portfolio. Diversification of the loan portfolio manages the risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. Authority levels are established for the extension of credit to ensure consistency throughout the Company. It is necessary that policies, processes, and practices implemented to control the risks of individual credit transactions and portfolio segments are sound and adhered to. The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the risk assessment on a continual basis. Management regularly evaluates the results of the loan reviews. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.
Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Commercial loans are made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of the borrower, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts from its customers. Beginning with the third quarter 2025, commercial and industrial loans include all loans to Non-Depository Financial Institutions (NDFIs), which includes a wide range of financial entities that provide services similar to those of traditional banks but do not accept deposits from the general public and are not regulated by the same federal banking agencies. Previously reported balances have been reclassified for purposes of comparability.
Specialty lending loans include Asset-based loans, which are offered primarily in the form of revolving lines of credit to commercial borrowers that do not generally qualify for traditional bank financing. Asset-based loans are underwritten based primarily upon the value of the collateral pledged to secure the loan, rather than on the borrower’s general financial condition. The Company utilizes pre-loan due diligence techniques, monitoring disciplines, and loan management practices common within the asset-based lending industry to underwrite loans to these borrowers.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as
11
loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. The Company requires that an appraisal of the collateral be made at origination and on an as-needed basis, in conformity with current market conditions and regulatory requirements. The underwriting standards address both owner and non-owner-occupied real estate. Also included in Commercial real estate are Construction loans that are underwritten using feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis or absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, economic conditions, completion of the construction project, and the availability of long-term financing.
Consumer real estate loans, including residential real estate and home equity loans, are underwritten based on the borrower’s loan-to-value percentage, collection remedies, and overall credit history.
Consumer loans are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment ability. The Company monitors delinquencies on all of its consumer loans and leases. The underwriting and review practices combined with the relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. Consumer loans and leases that are 90 days past due or more are considered non-performing.
Credit cards include both commercial and consumer credit cards. Commercial credit cards are generally unsecured and are underwritten with criteria similar to commercial loans, including an analysis of the borrower’s cash flow, available business capital, and overall creditworthiness of the borrower. Consumer credit cards are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment ability. The Company monitors delinquencies on all of its consumer credit cards and periodically reviews the distribution of credit scores relative to historical periods to monitor credit risk on its consumer credit card loans.
Credit risk is a potential loss resulting from nonpayment of either the primary or secondary exposure. Credit risk is mitigated with formal risk management practices and a thorough initial credit-granting process including consistent underwriting standards and approval process. Control factors or techniques to minimize credit risk include knowing the client, understanding total exposure, analyzing the client and debtor’s financial capacity, and monitoring the client’s activities. Credit risk and portions of the portfolio risk are managed through concentration considerations, average risk ratings, and other aggregate characteristics.

Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grading of specified classes of loans, net charge-offs, non-performing loans, and general economic conditions.
The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a rating to each of its commercial, commercial real estate, and construction real estate loans. Changes in credit risk are monitored on a continuous basis and changes in risk ratings are made when identified. The loan ratings are summarized into the following categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful. Any loan not classified in one of the categories described below is considered to be a Pass loan. A description of the general characteristics of the loan rating categories is as follows:
A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Commercial and industrial loans is included below:
Equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory General commercial and industrial loans are secured by working capital assets and non-real estate assets. The general purpose of these loans is for financing capital expenditures and current operations for commercial and industrial entities. These assets are short-term in nature. In the case of accounts receivable and inventories, the repayment of debt is reliant upon converting assets into cash or through goods and services being sold and collected. Collateral-based risk is due to aged short-term assets, which can be indicative of underlying issues with the borrower and lead to the value of the collateral being overstated.
Agriculture Agricultural loans are secured by non-real estate agricultural assets. These include shorter-term assets such as equipment, crops, and livestock. The risks associated with loans to finance crops or livestock include the borrower’s ability to successfully raise and market the commodity. Adverse weather conditions and other natural perils can dramatically affect farmers’ or ranchers’ production and ability to service debt. Volatile commodity prices present another significant risk for agriculture borrowers. Market price volatility and production cost volatility can affect both revenues and expenses.
Non-Depository Financial Institutions NDFI loans are secured by working capital assets and non-real estate assets. The general purpose of these loans is for financing capital expenditures and current operations. The repayment of debt is reliant upon converting assets into cash or through services being sold and collected. Collateral-based risk is due to aged short-term assets, which can be indicative of underlying issues with the borrower and lead to the value of the collateral being overstated. Other risks consist of collateral that is secured by the stock
17
of a NDFI, which can be unlisted stock with a limited market for the stock, or volatility of asset values driven by market performance.
Overdrafts Commercial overdrafts are typically short-term and unsecured. Some commercial borrowers tie their overdraft obligation to their line of credit, so any draw on the line of credit will satisfy the overdraft.
Based on the factors noted above for each type of collateral, the Company assigns risk ratings to borrowers based on their most recently assessed financial position.
The following tables provide a summary of the amortized cost balance by collateral type and risk rating as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Specialty loans is included below:
Asset-based lending General asset-based loans are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate. The purpose of these loans is for financing current operations for commercial customers. The repayment of debt is reliant upon collection of the accounts receivable within 30 to 90 days or converting assets into cash or through goods and services being sold and collected. The Company tracks each individual borrower credit risk based on their loan to collateral position. Any borrower position where the underlying value of collateral is below the fair value of the loan is considered out-of-margin and inherently higher risk.
The following table provides a summary of the amortized cost balance by risk rating for asset-based loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Commercial real estate loans is included below:
Owner-occupied Owner-occupied loans are secured by commercial real estate. These loans are often longer tenured and susceptible to multiple economic cycles. The loans rely on the owner-occupied operations to service debt which cover a broad spectrum of industries. Real estate debt can carry a significant amount of leverage for a borrower to maintain.
Non-owner-occupied Non-owner-occupied loans are secured by commercial real estate. These loans are often longer tenured and susceptible to multiple economic cycles. The key element of risk in this type of lending is the cyclical nature of real estate markets. Although national conditions affect the overall real estate industry, the effect of national conditions on local markets is equally important. Factors such as unemployment rates, consumer demand, household formation, and the level of economic activity can vary widely from state to state and among metropolitan areas. In addition to geographic considerations, markets can be defined by property type. While all sectors are influenced by economic conditions, some sectors are more sensitive to certain economic factors than others.
Farmland Farmland loans are secured by real estate used for agricultural purposes such as crop and livestock production. Assets used as collateral are long-term assets that carry the ability to have longer amortizations and maturities. Longer terms carry the risk of added susceptibility to market conditions. The limited purpose of some Agriculture-related collateral affects credit risk because such collateral may have limited or no other uses to support values when loan repayment problems emerge.
5+ Multi-family 5+ multi-family loans are secured by a multi-family residential property. The primary risks associated with this type of collateral are largely driven by economic conditions. The national and local market conditions can change with unemployment rates or competing supply of multi-family housing. Tenants may not be able to afford their housing or have better options and this can result in increased vacancy. Rents may need to be lowered to fill apartment units. Increased vacancy and lower rental rates not only drive the borrower’s ability to repay debt but also contribute to how the collateral is valued.
1-4 Family construction 1-4 family construction loans are secured by 1-4 family residential real estate and are in the process of construction or improvements being made. The predominant risk inherent to this portfolio is the risk associated with a borrower’s ability to successfully complete a project on time and within budget. Market conditions also play an important role in understanding the risk profile. Risk from adverse changes in market conditions from the start of development to completion can result in deflated collateral values.
General construction General construction loans are secured by commercial real estate in process of construction or improvements being made and their repayment is dependent on the collateral’s completion. Construction lending presents unique risks not encountered in term financing of existing real estate. The predominant risk inherent to this portfolio is the risk associated with a borrower’s ability to successfully complete a project on time and within budget. Commercial properties under construction are susceptible to market and economic conditions. Demand from prospective customers may erode after construction begins because of a general economic slowdown or an increase in the supply of competing properties.

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Consumer real estate loans is included below:
HELOC HELOC loans are revolving lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential property. The primary risk is the borrower’s inability to repay debt. Revolving notes are often associated with HELOCs that can be secured by real estate without a 1st lien priority. Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values or economic downturns.
First lien: 1-4 family First lien 1-4 family loans are secured by a first lien on 1-4 family residential property. These term loans carry longer maturities and amortizations. The longer tenure exposes the borrower to multiple economic cycles, coupled with longer amortizations that result in smaller principal reduction early in the life of the loan. Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values.
Junior lien: 1-4 family Junior lien 1-4 family loans are secured by a junior lien on 1-4 family residential property. The Company’s primary risk is the borrower’s inability to repay debt and not being in a first lien position. Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values or economic downturns.
A borrower is considered non-performing if the Company has ceased the recognition of interest and the loan is placed on non-accrual. Charge-offs and borrower performance are tracked on a loan origination vintage basis. Certain vintages, based on their maturation cycle, could be at higher risk due to collateral-based risk factors.

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Consumer loans is included below:
Revolving line Consumer Revolving lines of credit are secured by consumer assets other than real estate. The primary risk associated with this collateral is related to market volatility and the value of the underlying financial assets.
Auto Direct consumer auto loans are secured by new and used consumer vehicles. The primary risk with this collateral class is the rate at which the collateral depreciates.
Other This category includes Other consumer loans made to an individual. The primary risk for this category is for those loans where the loan is unsecured. This collateral type also includes other unsecured lending such as consumer overdrafts.

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact Credit card loans is included below:
Consumer Consumer credit card loans are revolving loans made to individuals. The primary risk associated with this collateral class is credit card debt which is generally unsecured; therefore, repayment depends primarily on a borrower’s willingness and capacity to repay. The highly competitive environment for credit card lending provides consumers with ample opportunity to hold several credit cards from different issuers and to pay only minimum monthly payments on outstanding balances. In such an environment, borrowers may become over-extended and unable to repay, particularly in times of an economic downturn or a personal catastrophic event.
The consumer credit card portfolio is segmented by borrower payment activity. Transactors are defined as accounts that pay off their balance by the end of each statement cycle. Revolvers are defined as an account that carries a balance from one statement cycle to the next. These accounts incur monthly finance charges, and, sometimes, late fees. Revolvers are inherently higher risk and are tracked by credit score.
A co-branded credit card portfolio is also segmented between current and significantly delinquent loans, with accounts being considered significantly delinquent after 60 days. Current loans are segmented by borrower payment activity as described above. Significantly delinquent loans are tracked by the number of cycles past due.
Commercial Commercial credit card loans are revolving loans made to small and commercial businesses. The primary risk associated with this collateral class is credit card debt which is generally unsecured; therefore, repayment depends primarily on a borrower’s willingness and capacity to repay. Borrowers may become over-extended and unable to repay, particularly in times of an economic downturn or a catastrophic event.
The commercial credit card portfolio is segmented by current and past due payment status. A borrower is past due after 30 days. In general, commercial credit card customers do not have incentive to hold a balance resulting in paying interest on credit card debt as commercial customers will typically have other debt obligations with lower interest rates in which they can utilize for capital.

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Leases and other loans is included below:
Leases Leases are either loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures or are loans related to all other direct financing and leveraged leases on property for leasing to lessees other than for household, family and other personal expenditure purposes. All leases are secured by the lease between the lessor and the lessee. These assignments grant the creditor a security interest in the rent stream from any lease, an important source of cash to pay the note in case of the borrower’s default.
Other Other loans are loans that are obligations of states and political subdivisions in the U.S., loans for purchasing or carrying securities, or all other non-consumer loans. Risk associated with other loans is tied to the underlying collateral by each type of loan. Collateral is generally equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, 1-4 family residential construction and is susceptible to the same risks mentioned with those collateral types previously.
The following table provides a summary of the amortized cost balance by collateral type and risk rating as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from loans’ and held-to-maturity (HTM) securities’ amortized cost bases to present the net amount expected to be collected on the instrument. Loans and HTM securities are charged off against the ACL when management believes the balance has become uncollectible. Expected recoveries are included in the allowance and do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses and is tracked over an economic cycle to capture a ‘through the cycle’ loss history. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in portfolio industry-based segmentation, risk rating and credit score changes, average prepayment rates, changes in environmental conditions, or other relevant factors. For economic forecasts, the Company uses the Moody’s baseline scenario. The Company has developed a dynamic reasonable and supportable forecast period that ranges from one to three years and changes based on economic conditions. The Company’s reasonable and supportable forecast period is one year. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical losses. The reversion method applied to each portfolio can either be cliff in which the Company reverts immediately to historical losses or straight-line over four quarters.
The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The ACL also incorporates qualitative factors which represent adjustments to historical credit loss experience for items such as concentrations of credit and results of internal loan review. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods. The Company’s portfolio segmentation consists of Commercial and industrial, Specialty lending, Commercial real estate, Consumer real estate, Consumer, Credit cards, Leases and other, and Held-to-maturity securities. Multiple modeling techniques are used to measure credit losses based on the portfolio.
The ACL for Commercial and industrial and Leases and other segments are measured using a probability of default and loss given default method. Primary risk drivers within the segment are risk ratings of the individual loans along with changes of macro-economic variables. The economic variables utilized are typically comprised of leading and lagging indicators. The ACL for Commercial and industrial loans is calculated by modeling probability of default (PD) over future periods multiplied by historical loss given default rates (LGD) multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any estimated prepayments and charge offs.
Collateral positions for Specialty lending loans are continuously monitored by the Company and the borrower is required to continually adjust the amount of collateral securing the loan. Credit losses are measured for any position where the amortized cost basis is greater than the fair value of the collateral. The ACL for specialty lending loans is calculated by using a bottom-up approach comparing collateral values to outstanding balances.
The ACL for the Commercial real estate segment is measured using a PD and LGD method. Primary risk characteristics within the segment are risk ratings of the individual loans, along with changes of macro-economic variables, such as interest rates, CRE price index, median household income, construction activity, farm income, and vacancy rates. The ACL for Commercial real estate loans is calculated by modeling PD over future periods based on peer bank data. The PD loss rate is then multiplied by historical LGD multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any estimated prepayments and charge offs.
The ACL for the Consumer real estate and Consumer segments are measured using an origination vintage loss rate method applied to the loans’ amortized cost balance. The primary risk driver within the segments is year of origination along with changes of macro-economic variables such as unemployment and the home price index.
The Credit card segment contains both consumer and commercial credit cards. The ACL for Consumer credit cards is measured using a PD and LGD method for Revolvers and average historical loss rates across a defined lookback period for Transactors. The PD and LGD method used for Revolvers is similar in nature to the method used in the Commercial and industrial and Commercial real estate segments. Primary risk drivers within the segment are credit ratings of the individual card holders along with changes of macro-economic variables such as
28
unemployment and retail sales. The ACL for Commercial credit cards is measured using roll-rate loss rate method based on days past due.
The ACL for the State and political HTM securities segment is measured using a loss rate method based on historical bond rating transitions. Primary risk drivers within the segment are bond ratings in the portfolio along with changes of macro-economic conditions. There is no ACL for the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and GSE mortgage-backed HTM securities portfolios as they are considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. For further discussion on these securities, including the aging and amortized cost balance of HTM securities, see Note 5, “Securities.”
See the credit quality indicators presented previously for a summary of current risk in the Company’s portfolio. Changes in economic forecasts will affect all portfolio segments, updated financial records from borrowers will affect portfolio segments by risk rating, updated credit scores will affect consumer credit cards, payment performance will affect consumer and commercial credit card portfolio segments, and updated bond credit ratings will affect held-to-maturity securities. The Company actively monitors all credit quality indicators for risk changes that will influence the current estimate.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a concessionary loan term has been granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company.
Credit card receivables do not have stated maturities. In determining the estimated life of a credit card receivable, management first estimates the future cash flows expected to be received and then applies those expected future cash flows to the credit card balance. Expected credit losses for credit cards are determined by estimating the amount and timing of principal payments expected to be received as payment for the balance outstanding as of the reporting period until the expected payments have been fully allocated. The ACL is recorded for the excess of the balance outstanding as of the reporting period over the expected principal payments.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually include loans on nonaccrual, loans that include modifications deemed concessionary made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, or any loans specifically identified, and are excluded from the collective evaluation. When it is determined that payment of interest or recovery of all principal is questionable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for undiscounted selling costs as appropriate. All loans are classified as collateral dependent if placed on non-accrual or include modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Purchased loans that reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of acquisition are classified as PCD loans. PCD loans are recorded at fair value plus the ACL expected at the time of acquisition. Upon the acquisition of HTLF, the Company recorded $62.1 million to establish the PCD ACL. During the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company recorded an additional $15.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, to the PCD ACL based on credit factors that were determined to be in existence as of the date of acquisition.
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded in the Accrued expenses and taxes line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees.”

Modifications made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
In the normal course of business, the Company may execute loan modifications with borrowers. These modifications are analyzed to determine whether the modification is considered concessionary, long term and made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The Company’s modifications generally include interest rate adjustments, principal reductions, and amortization and maturity date extensions. These modifications allow the borrower short-term cash relief to allow them to improve their financial condition. If a loan modification is determined to be made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan is considered collateral dependent and evaluated as part of the ACL as described above in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this note.
32
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had three new modifications on residential real estate loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty with a total pre-modification loan balance of $534 thousand and a total post-modification loan balance of $538 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had one modifications on residential real estate loans made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty with a total pre- and post-modification loan balance of $225 thousand.
The Company had no commitments to lend to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which the Company has modified an existing loan as of March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company monitors loan payments on an on-going basis to determine if a loan is considered to have a payment default. Determination of payment default involves analyzing the economic conditions that exist for each customer and their ability to generate positive cash flows during the loan term. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which there was a payment default within the 12 months following the modification date.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments were caused by changes in interest rates, and not from a decline in credit of the underlying issuers. The U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and GSE mortgage-backed securities are all considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in the agency-backed portfolios are solely driven by change in interest rates caused by changing economic conditions. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates.
For the State and political subdivision portfolio, the majority of the Company’s holdings are in general obligation bonds, which have a very low historical default rate due to issuers generally having unlimited taxing authority to service the debt. For the State and political, Corporates, and Collateralized loan obligations portfolios, the Company has a robust process for monitoring credit risk, including both pre-purchase and ongoing post-purchase credit reviews and analysis. The Company monitors credit ratings of all bond issuers in these segments and reviews available financial data, including market and sector trends.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no ACL related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities as the decline in fair value did not result from credit issues.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
There were no sales of securities held to maturity during three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, securities with an amortized cost of $4.1 billion and a fair value of $3.8 billion were transferred from the available-for-sale classification to the held-to-maturity classification as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The transfers of securities were made at fair value at the time of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the time of transfer is retained in AOCI and will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities, offsetting the related amortization of discount or premium on the transferred securities. No gains or losses were recognized at the time of the transfers. The amortized cost balance of securities held to maturity in the tables above includes a net unamortized unrealized loss of $132.1 million and $139.2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Accrued interest on securities held to maturity totaled $25.2 million and $28.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in the Accrued income line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities presented above. Further, the Company has elected not to measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio were caused by changes in the interest rate environment. The U.S. Treasury and GSE mortgage-backed securities are considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. Therefore, the Company’s expected lifetime loss for these portfolios is zero and there is no ACL recorded for these portfolios. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates.
For the State and political subdivision portfolio, the Company’s holdings are in general obligation bonds as well as private placement bonds, which have very low historical default rates due to issuers generally having unlimited taxing authority to service the debt. The Company has a robust process for monitoring credit risk, including both pre-purchase and ongoing post-purchase credit reviews and analysis. The Company monitors credit ratings of all bond issuers in these segments and reviews available financial data, including market and sector trends. The underlying bonds are evaluated for credit losses in conjunction with management’s estimate of the ACL based on credit rating.

8. Business Segment Reporting
The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking (collectively, the Business Segments, and each, a Business Segment). These segments reflect the type of customer served, how products and services are provided, how executive management responsibilities are assigned, and reflect the manner in which financial information is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The Company’s CODM is comprised of a group of senior executive officers led by the Company’s chief executive officer, chief administrative officer, chief financial officer, and the Bank’s chief executive officer.
42
Business Segment financial information is produced using an internal reporting system which is based on a series of management estimates for funds transfer pricing (FTP), and allocations of noninterest expense and income taxes. The process for determining FTP is based on a number of factors and assumptions, including prevailing market interest rates, the expected lives of various assets and liabilities, and the Company’s broader funding profile. These estimates and allocations are periodically reviewed and refined. The CODM uses the Business Segment net income in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments, including evaluating the cost or opportunity value of funds within each Business Segment and identifying areas of focus for organic growth or acquisition. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2026. Previously reported results have been reclassified in this filing to conform to the current organizational structure.
The following summaries provide information about the activities of each Business Segment:
Commercial Banking serves the commercial banking and treasury management needs of the Company’s small to middle-market businesses through a variety of products and services. Such services include commercial loans, commercial real estate financing, commercial credit cards, letters of credit, loan syndication services, and consultative services. In addition, the Company’s specialty lending group offers a variety of business solutions including asset-based lending, mezzanine debt and minority equity investments. Treasury management services include depository services, account reconciliation and cash management tools such as, accounts payable and receivable solutions, electronic fund transfer and automated payments, controlled disbursements, lockbox services and remote deposit capture services.
Institutional Banking is a combination of banking services, fund services, asset management services and healthcare services provided to institutional clients. This segment also provides fixed income sales, trading and underwriting, corporate trust and escrow services, as well as institutional custody. Institutional Banking includes UMB Fund Services, which provides fund administration and accounting, investor services and transfer agency, and other services to mutual funds and alternative investment groups. Healthcare services provides healthcare payment solutions including custodial services for health savings accounts (HSAs) and private label, multipurpose debit cards to insurance carriers, third-party administrators, software companies, employers, and financial institutions.

9. Revenue Recognition
The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates revenue that are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Trust and securities processing – Trust and securities processing income consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and wealth management services, and
mutual fund and alternative asset servicing. The performance obligations related to this revenue include items such as performing full bond trustee service administration, investment advisory services, custody and record-keeping services, and fund administrative and accounting services. These fees are part of long-term contractual agreements and the performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of service and fees are generally a fixed flat monthly rate or based on a percentage of the account’s market value per the contract with the customer. These fees are primarily recorded within the Company’s Institutional and Personal Banking segments.
Trading and investment banking – Trading and investment banking income consists of income earned related to the Company’s trading securities portfolio, including futures hedging, dividends, bond underwriting, and other securities incomes. The vast majority of this revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 320, Investments–Debt Securities, and ASC 321, Investments–Equity Securities, and is out of the scope of ASC 606. A portion of trading and investment banking represents fees earned for management fees, commissions, and underwriting of corporate bond issuances. The performance obligations related to these fees include reviewing the credit worthiness of the customer, ensuring appropriate regulatory approval and participating in due diligence. The fees are fixed per the bond prospectus and the performance obligations are satisfied upon registration approval of the bonds by the applicable regulatory agencies. Revenue is recognized at the point in time upon completion of service and when approval is granted by the regulators.
Service charges on deposits – Service charges on deposit accounts represent monthly analysis fees recognized for the services related to customer deposit accounts, including account maintenance and depository transactions processing fees. Commercial Banking and Institutional Banking depository accounts charge fees in accordance with the customer’s pricing schedule while Personal Banking account holders are generally charged a flat service fee per month. Deposit service charges for the healthcare accounts included in the Institutional Banking segment are priced according to either standard pricing schedules with individual account holders or according to service agreements between the Company and employer groups or third-party administrators. The Company satisfies the performance obligation related to providing depository accounts monthly as transactions are processed and deposit service charge revenue is recorded monthly. These fees are recognized within all Business Segments.
Insurance fees and commissions – Insurance fees and commissions includes all insurance-related fees earned, including commissions for individual life, variable life, group life, health, group health, fixed annuity, and variable annuity insurance contracts. The performance obligations related to these revenues primarily represent the placement of insurance policies with the insurance company partners. The fees are based on the contracts with insurance company partners and the performance obligations are satisfied when the terms of the policy have been agreed to and the insurance policy becomes effective.
Brokerage fees – Brokerage fees represent income earned related to providing brokerage transaction services, including commissions on equity and commodity trades, and fees for investment management, advisory and administration. The performance obligations related to transaction services are executing the specified trade and are priced according to the customer’s fee schedule. Such income is recognized at a point in time as the trade occurs and the performance obligation is fulfilled. The performance obligations related to investment management, advisory and administration include allocating customer assets across a wide range of mutual funds and other investments, on-going account monitoring and re-balancing of the portfolio. These performance obligations are satisfied over time and the related revenue is calculated monthly based on the assets under management of each customer. All material performance obligations are satisfied as of the end of each accounting period.
Bankcard fees – Bankcard fees primarily represent income earned from interchange revenue from MasterCard and Visa for the Company’s processing of debit, credit, HSA, and flexible spending account transactions. Additionally, the Company earns income and incentives related to various referrals of customers to card programs. The performance obligation for interchange revenue is the processing of each transaction through the Company’s access to the banking system. This performance obligation is completed for each individual transaction and income is recognized per transaction in accordance with interchange rates established by MasterCard and Visa. The performance obligations for various referral and incentive programs include either referring customers to certain card products or issuing exclusively branded cards for certain customer segments. The pricing of these incentive and referral programs are in accordance with the agreement with the individual card partner. These performance obligations are completed as the referrals are made or over a period of time when the Company is exclusively issuing branded cards. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $12.2 million and $11.8 million of expense, respectively, recorded within the Bankcard fees line on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Income related to rebates and rewards programs that are outside of the scope of ASC 606. All material performance obligations are satisfied as of the end of each accounting period.
Investment securities gains, net – In the regular course of business, the Company recognizes gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities. Additionally, the Company recognizes gains and losses on equity securities with readily determinable fair values and equity securities without readily determinable fair values. These gains and losses are recognized in accordance with ASC 320, Investments–Debt Securities, and ASC 321, Investments–Equity Securities, and are outside of the scope of ASC 606.
Other income – The Company recognizes other miscellaneous income through a variety of other revenue streams, the most material of which include letter of credit fees, certain loan origination fees, gains on the sale of assets, derivative income, and bank-owned and company-owned life insurance income. These revenue streams are outside of the scope of ASC 606 and are recognized in accordance with the applicable U.S. GAAP. The remainder of Other income is primarily earned through transactions with personal banking customers, including wire transfer service charges, stop payment charges, and fees for items like money orders and cashier’s checks. The performance obligations of these types of fees are satisfied as transactions are completed and revenue is recognized upon transaction execution according to established fee schedules with the customers.
The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026. Total receivables from revenue recognized under the scope of ASC 606 were $113.2 million and $116.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These receivables are included as part of the Other assets line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following tables depict the disaggregation of revenue according to revenue stream and Business Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. As stated in Note 8, “Business Segment Reporting,” for comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2026 and previously reported results have been reclassified in this Form 10-Q to conform to the Company’s current organizational structure.

10. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and futures contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments as described above (in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure
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 cancelable by the Company. 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 estimate is based on expected
utilization rates by portfolio segment. Utilization rates are influenced by historical trends and current conditions. The expected utilization rates are applied to the total commitment to determine the expected amount to be funded. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure is calculated by applying portfolio segment expected credit loss rates to the expected amount to be funded.
The following categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures have been identified:
Revolving Lines of Credit: includes commercial, construction, agricultural, personal, and home-equity. Risks inherent to revolving lines of credit often are related to the susceptibility of an individual or business experiencing unpredictable cash flow or financial troubles, thus leading to payment default. During these financial troubles, the borrower could have less than desirable assets collateralizing the revolving line of credit. The financial strain the borrower is experiencing could lead to drawing against the line without the ability to pay the line down.
Non-Revolving Lines of Credit: includes commercial and personal. Lines that do not carry a revolving feature are generally associated with a specific expenditure or project, such as to purchase equipment or the construction of real estate. The predominate risk associated with non-revolving lines is the diversion of funds for other expenditures. If the funds get diverted, the contributory value to collateral suffers.
Letters of Credit: includes standby letters of credit. Generally, a standby letter of credit is established to provide assurance to the beneficiary that the applicant will perform certain obligations arising out of a separate transaction between the beneficiary and the applicant. These obligations might be the performance of a service or delivery of a product. If the obligations are not met, it gives the beneficiary, the right to draw on the letter of credit.
The ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $5.7 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and was recorded in the Accrued expenses and taxes line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was no provision recorded for off-balance sheet credit exposures. As part of the acquisition of HTLF, the Company recorded an ACL of $3.6 million related to acquired off-balance sheet credit exposures as of the Acquisition Date. Additionally, provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $500 thousand was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded in the Provision for credit losses line of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
11. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s loans and borrowings. The Company also has interest rate and commodity derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk of the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company has entered into an offsetting position for each of these derivative instruments with a matching instrument from another financial institution in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company’s derivative assets and derivative liabilities are located within Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivative fair values are determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows from each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
This table provides a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve making fixed rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk.
During 2022 and 2023, the Company terminated 10 fair value hedges of interest rate risk associated with the Company's municipal bond securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 the Company reclassified $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from AOCI to Interest income in connection with these terminated hedges. The unrealized gain on the terminated fair value hedges remaining in AOCI was $45.1 million net of tax, and $46.7 million net of tax, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The hedging adjustments will be amortized through the contractual maturity date of each respective hedged item.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, floors, and floor spreads as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had two interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debentures issued by Marquette Capital Trusts III and IV. These swaps had an aggregate notional amount of $51.5 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium. Interest
rate floor spreads designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the purchased floor rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium, and involve payment of variable-rate amounts to the counterparty if interest rates fall below the sold floor rate on the contract. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 13 interest rate floors and floor spreads with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense and interest income in the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to interest rate swap derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are received or paid on the Company’s hedged items. Amounts reported in AOCI related to interest rate floor and floor spread derivatives will be reclassified to Interest income as interest payments are received or paid on the Company’s hedged items. The Company expects to reclassify $0.6 million from AOCI as a reduction to Interest expense and $3.7 million from AOCI as a reduction to Interest income during the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 10.5 years.
Non-designated Hedges
The remainder of the Company’s derivatives are not designated in qualifying hedging relationships. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized in Other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 836 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $12.0 billion related to this program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 830 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $11.7 billion.
Commodity Derivatives
The Company executes commodity swap and option contracts with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The Company simultaneously enters into an offsetting contract with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the commodity swaps and option contracts associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized in Other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 164 commodity swaps and option contracts with an aggregate remaining volume of 4.4 million oil barrels and 31.9 million British Thermal Units related to this program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 26 commodity swaps and option contracts with an aggregate remaining volume of 2.1 million oil barrels and 3.6 million British Thermal Units.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
51
As of March 31, 2026, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, related to these agreements was $11.3 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties. At March 31, 2026, the Company had posted $10.6 million of collateral. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2026, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.
12. Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.
Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis:
Trading Securities Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.
Securities Available for Sale Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Prices are provided by third-party pricing services and are based on observable market inputs. On an annual basis, the Company compares a sample of these prices to other independent sources for the same securities. Additionally, throughout the year, if securities are sold, comparisons are made between the pricing services prices and the market prices at which the securities were sold. Variances are analyzed, and, if appropriate, additional research is conducted with the third-party pricing services. Based on this research, the pricing services may affirm or revise their quoted price. No significant adjustments have been made to the prices provided by the pricing services. The pricing services also provide documentation on an ongoing basis that includes reference data, inputs and methodology by asset class, which is reviewed to ensure that security placement within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values Fair values are based on quoted market prices.
Derivatives Fair values are determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows from each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign
53
exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Securities sold not yet purchased Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Prices are provided by third-party pricing services and are based on observable market inputs.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis:
Collateral Dependent Assets Collateral dependent assets are assets evaluated as part of the ACL on an individual basis. Those assets for which there is an associated allowance are considered financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments are recorded on certain assets to reflect write-downs that are based on the external appraised value of the underlying collateral. The external appraisals are generally based on recent sales of comparable properties which are then adjusted for the unique characteristics of the property being valued. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists within the Company’s property management group and the Company’s credit department. The valuation of collateral dependent assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.
Other real estate owned Other real estate owned consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate
54
property, including auto, recreational and marine vehicles. Other real estate owned is recorded as held for sale initially at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. The initial valuation of the foreclosed property is obtained through an appraisal process similar to the process described in the collateral dependent assets paragraph above. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are reviewed quarterly and updated periodically, and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. Fair value measurements may be based upon appraisals, third-party price opinions, or internally developed pricing methods and those measurements are classified as Level 3.
Fair value disclosures require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Cash and short-term investments The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.
Securities held to maturity For U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, as well as general obligation bonds in the State and political subdivision portfolio, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Prices are provided by third-party pricing services and are based on observable market inputs. On an annual basis, the Company compares a sample of these prices to other independent sources for the same securities. Variances are analyzed, and, if appropriate, additional research is conducted with the third-party pricing services. Based on this research, the pricing services may affirm or revise their quoted price. No significant adjustments have been made to the prices provided by the pricing services. The pricing services also provide documentation on an ongoing basis that includes reference data, inputs and methodology by asset class, which is reviewed to ensure that security placement within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate. For private placement bonds in the State and political subdivision portfolio, fair values are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.
Other securities Amount consists of FRB and FHLB stock held by the Company, equity securities with readily determinable fair values, and equity securities without readily determinable fair values, including equity-method investments and other miscellaneous investments. The carrying amount of the FRB and FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares can only be redeemed by the FRB and FHLB at their carrying amount. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of instruments adjusted to be commensurate with the credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of such instruments.
56
Time deposits The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates that are currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other borrowings The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of their maturities. Federal funds purchased are classified as Level 1 based on availability of quoted market prices and repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are classified as Level 2.
Long-term debt Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
Other off-balance sheet instruments The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit are determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments nor their fair value at period-end are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position.
13. Acquisition
On January 31, 2025 (Acquisition Date), the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Heartland Financial USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (HTLF), in an all-stock transaction, issuing a total of 23.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock and 4.6 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/400th interest in a share of the Company’s 7.00% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the Series A preferred stock). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2024, (i) HTLF merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and (ii) one day after the closing date of the acquisition of HTLF by the Company, HTLF’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, a Colorado-chartered bank (HTLF Bank), merged with and into UMB Bank, National Association, the Company’s national bank subsidiary (the Bank), with the Bank continuing as the surviving bank.
Total consideration for the acquisition was $2.9 billion, consisting of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.8 billion (based on the Company’s common stock price of $117.90) and the Company’s Series A preferred stock valued at $115.2 million (based on the Company’s Series A preferred stock price of $25.05) as of close of business on the Acquisition Date. Each HTLF common stock share was converted into 0.55 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each HTLF preferred stock share was converted into a share of the Company’s Series A preferred stock.
The acquisition of HTLF was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair market values of the assets and liabilities acquired.

The Company finalized its review of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities noted in the table above as of January 31, 2026. After December 31, 2025 but before the end of the preliminary measurement period, the Company recorded an adjustment of $2.2 million to the valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets.
The amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition reflects the Company’s increased market share and related synergies that are expected to result from combining the operations of UMB and HTLF. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but will be subject to at least an annual impairment test. The Company has approximately $44.0 million of tax-deductible goodwill that arose in previous transactions completed by HTLF which carries over. The remaining goodwill related to the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Of the $1.6 billion in goodwill arising from the acquisition, $978.1 million was assigned to the Commercial Banking segment and $652.1 million was assigned to the Personal Banking segment. The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets of $511.0 million is comprised of a core deposit intangible of $474.1 million, a customer list of $26.0 million and purchased credit card relationships of $10.9 million.
The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.
58
Loans A valuation of the loans was performed by a third party as of the Acquisition Date to assess the fair value. The fair value of loans was based on a discounted cash flow method that considered the loans’ underlying characteristics including account type, remaining terms of loan, annual interest rates or coupon, fixed or variable interest rate, past delinquencies, risk rating, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan to value ratios, loss exposure, more specifically the probability of default and loss given default, and remaining balance. Loans were aggregated according to similar characteristics when applying the valuation method.
The Company's accounting methods for acquired Non-PCD and PCD loans are discussed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". At the Acquisition Date, the fair value of Non-PCD loans was $6.7 billion, compared to the unpaid principal balance of $7.1 billion.
The following table presents the unpaid principal balance and fair value of the loans acquired in the HTLF acquisition as of the Acquisition Date (in thousands):

Investment securities The portion of the investment securities portfolio that was classified as available-for-sale was valued utilizing third-party pricing services for those securities retained and valued using the actual sales prices for those securities that were sold shortly after the close of the acquisition. The portion of the investment securities portfolio that was classified as held-to-maturity as of the Acquisition Date were priced by a third party using a discounted cash flow methodology similar to the methodology described above for the valuation of loans.
Interest-bearing due from banks and Cash and due from banks The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.
Core deposit intangible Core deposit intangibles represent the value of relationships with deposit clients and the cost savings derived from available core deposits relative to an alternative funding source. The fair value of the core deposit intangible was estimated using a net cost savings method, a variation of the income approach. This approach considers expected client attrition rates, average life and balance inflation, alternative cost of funds, the interest cost and net maintenance cost associated with the client deposit base, and a discount rate used to discount the future economic benefits of the core deposit intangible asset to present value.
Deposits The fair value for demand and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the Acquisition Date. The fair value for time deposits was valued by a third party using a discounted cash flow calculation that applied interest rates currently being offered to the contractual interest rates on such time deposits.
Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt instruments was valued by a third party based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.
59
The Company assumed long-term debt obligations with an aggregate balance of $159.8 million and an aggregate fair value of $139.3 million as of the Acquisition Date payable to fifteen unconsolidated trusts that have issued trust preferred securities. The interest rates on the acquired trust preferred securities ranged from 5.89% to 8.21% as of the Acquisition Date and reset quarterly. The acquired trust preferred securities have maturity dates ranging from September 2032 to September 2037.
The Company assumed $150.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due September 2031. The subordinated notes have a fixed interest rate of 2.75% until September 2026, at which time the interest rate will reset quarterly. The subordinated notes had an acquired fair value of $138.8 million as of January 31, 2025.
The results of HTLF are included in the results of the Company subsequent to the Acquisition Date. Transaction costs incurred after the Acquisition Date totaled $140.1 million, primarily in Salaries and employee benefits and Legal and consulting in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as well as $62.0 million in Provision expense to establish an ACL on the HTLF loans designated as non-PCD as of the Acquisition Date (Day 1 Provision expense). Additional transaction and integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.
The following unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of HTLF and the Company. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include the potential impacts of possible business model changes, current market conditions, revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, or other factors. If the HTLF acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2024, total revenue would have been approximately $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders would have been approximately $843.3 million and $504.0 million, respectively, for the same periods. Basic earnings per share would have been $11.20 and $6.96 for the same periods, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma information above reflects adjustments made to exclude the impact of acquisition-related expenses of $142.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and include such expenses in the year ended December 31, 2024. Day 1 provision expense of $62.0 million was included in 2024 to reflect the assumption of the acquisition timing noted above. Adjustments also included adjusting net interest income by the estimated net accretion of fair value marks on acquired loans, HTM securities, time deposits and long-term debt of $12.8 million and $153.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and adjusting noninterest expense for the estimated net amortization of intangibles and fair value marks on premises and equipment of $8.0 million and $96.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma information is theoretical in nature and not necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations of the Company or the consolidated results of operations which would have resulted had the Company acquired HTLF during the periods presented.
The Company has determined that it is impractical to report the amounts of revenue and earnings of legacy HTLF since the Acquisition Date due to the integration of operations shortly after the Acquisition Date. Accordingly, reliable and separate complete revenue and earnings information is no longer available. In addition, such amounts would require significant estimates related to the proper allocation of merger cost savings that cannot be objectively made.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations highlights the material changes in the results of operations and changes in financial condition of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2026. It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K. Results of operations for the periods included in this review are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained during any future period.

Overview
On January 31, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Heartland Financial, USA, Inc. (HTLF). The acquisition added assets with a fair value of approximately $16.1 billion, $9.7 billion of loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, and $14.3 billion of deposits. The combined company retains its #1 deposit market share in Missouri and now ranks in the top 10 in Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and Arizona.
The Company focuses on the following four core financial objectives. Management believes these objectives will guide its efforts to achieve its vision, to deliver the Unparalleled Customer Experience, all while seeking to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet while undertaking prudent risk management.
The first financial objective is to continuously improve operating efficiencies. The Company has focused on identifying efficiencies that simplify our organizational and reporting structures, streamline back-office functions, and take advantage of synergies and newer technologies among various platforms and distribution networks. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company successfully completed the conversion of the technology and branding of HTLF customers. The Company has identified and expects to continue identifying ongoing efficiencies through the normal course of business that, when combined with increased revenue, will contribute to improved operating leverage. During the first quarter of 2026, total revenue increased $175.3 million, or 31.1%, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, while noninterest expense decreased $3.9 million, or 1.0%, for the same period. Included in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 is $53.2 million in acquisition-related expense compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 . Revenue is also impacted by one additional month of revenue from HTLF in 2026, including accretion and amortization of the fair value adjustments discussed in Note 13, “Acquisition” above. As part of the initiative to improve operating efficiencies, the Company continues to invest in technological advances that it believes will help management drive operating leverage in the future through improved data analysis and automation. The Company also continues to evaluate core systems and will invest in enhancements that it believes will yield operating efficiencies.
The second financial objective is to increase net interest income through profitable loan and deposit growth and the optimization of the balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company had an increase in net interest income of $136.7 million, or 34.4%, from the same period in 2025. The change in net interest income was primarily driven by an additional month of HTLF operations, higher purchase accounting accretion benefits, favorable repricing of deposits and loans in conjunction with lower short-term interest rates, and increases of $7.1 billion, or 21.9%, in average loans and $4.2 billion, or 26.2% in average securities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 billion, or 38.4% in average interest-bearing due from banks. The funding for these assets was driven primarily by an increase of 14.5% in average deposits compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong organic growth as well as the impact of acquired HTLF balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 15.2%, and noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances increased 12.5% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased 42 basis points compared to the same period in 2025, driven by favorable repricing of deposits and loans in conjunction with lower short-term interest rates. Net interest spread increased 55 basis points during the same period. The Company expects to see continued volatility in the economic markets resulting from governmental responses to inflation and recessionary signs in the economy, as well as uncertainty about the impacts of the conflict in Iran and tariffs. These changing conditions could have impacts on the balance sheet and income statement of the Company for the remainder of the year.
The third financial objective is to grow the Company’s revenue from noninterest sources. The Company seeks to grow noninterest revenues throughout all economic and interest rate cycles, while positioning itself to benefit in periods of economic growth. Noninterest income increased $38.6 million, or 23.2%, to $204.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. See greater detail below under Noninterest Income. The change is partially driven by one additional month in 2026 of HTLF-related fee income from trust income, deposit service charges, and bankcard fees. The Company continues to emphasize its asset management, brokerage, bankcard services, healthcare services, and treasury management businesses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, noninterest income represented 27.7% of total revenue, compared to 29.5% for the same period in
2025. The recent economic changes have impacted fee income, especially those with assets tied to market values and interest rates.
The fourth financial objective is effective capital management. The Company places a significant emphasis on maintaining a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. The Company continues to maximize shareholder value through a mix of reinvesting in organic growth, evaluating acquisition opportunities that complement the Company’s strategies, increasing dividends over time, and appropriately utilizing a share repurchase program. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $7.8 billion in total shareholders’ equity. This is an increase of $1.1 billion, or 16.0%, compared to total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.53%. The Company repurchased 178,249 shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2026 at an average price of $111.62 for a total of $19.9 million. The Company also acquired shares pursuant to the share-based incentive programs during the first quarter of 2026.
Earnings Summary
The following is a summary regarding the Company’s earnings for the first quarter of 2026. The changes identified in the summary are explained in greater detail below. The Company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $255.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $79.3 million for the same period a year earlier. Basic earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2026 were $3.36 per share ($3.35 per share fully-diluted) compared to $1.22 per common share ($1.21 per share fully-diluted) for the first quarter of 2025. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 were 1.47% and 13.70%, respectively, compared to 0.54% and 5.86%, respectively, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $136.7 million, or 34.4% compared to the same period in 2025. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, average earning assets increased by $9.6 billion, or 17.3% compared to the same period in 2025. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 3.38% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.96%, respectively, for the same period in 2025.
The provision for credit losses decreased by $59.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. Provision expense in 2025 included $62.0 million to establish an allowance for credit losses on the acquired loans designated as non-PCD loans at the close of the transaction. See Note 13, “Acquisition” above. The remainder of the increase in provision was driven by loan growth, portfolio credit metric changes, and changes in macro-economic metrics in the current period as compared to the prior periods. The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $50.4 million to $151.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025. The ACL on loans as a percentage of total loans increased three basis points to 1.06% as of March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025. For a description of the Company’s methodology for computing the ACL, please see the summary discussion in the “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses” section included below.
Noninterest income increased by $38.6 million, or 23.2%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.
Noninterest expense decreased by $3.9 million, or 1.0%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect
net interest income. Net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $136.7 million, or 34.4%, compared to the same period in 2025. The change in net interest income was primarily driven by an additional month of HTLF operations, higher purchase accounting accretion benefits, favorable repricing of deposits and loans in conjunction with lower short-term interest rates, and increases of $7.1 billion, or 21.9%, in average loans and $4.2 billion, or 26.2% in average securities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 billion, or 38.4% in average interest-bearing due from banks.
Table 1 shows the impact of earning asset rate changes compared to changes in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As illustrated in this table, net interest spread for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 55 basis points as compared to the same period in 2025. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 42 basis points compared to the same period in 2025. The change is driven by favorable repricing of deposits and loans in conjunction with lower short-term interest rates. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 54 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 while the yield on earning assets increased one basis point compared to the same period. Earning asset balance increases have been primarily driven by higher average loans and increased securities balances, partially offset by decreased interest-bearing due from banks balances. These variances have contributed to an increase in the Company’s net interest income during 2026, as compared to results for the same period in 2025. The Company expects to see continued volatility in the economic markets and governmental responses to changes in the economy. These changing conditions could have impacts on the balance sheet and income statement of the Company for the remainder of the year. For the impact of the contribution from free funds, see the Analysis of Net Interest Margin within Table 2 below. Table 2 also illustrates how the changes in volume and interest rates have resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL represents management’s judgment of the total expected losses included in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s process for recording the ACL is based on the evaluation of the Company’s lifetime historical loss experience, management’s understanding of the credit quality inherent in the loan portfolio, and the impact of the current economic environment, coupled with reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.
A mathematical calculation of an estimate is made to assist in determining the adequacy and reasonableness of management’s recorded ACL. To develop the estimate, the Company follows the guidelines in ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The estimate reserves for assets held at amortized cost and any related credit deterioration in the Company’s available-for-sale debt security portfolio. Assets held at amortized cost include the Company’s loan book and held-to-maturity security portfolio.
The process involves the consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the specific segmentation of loans. These factors have been established over decades of financial institution experience and include economic observation and loan loss characteristics. This process is designed to produce a lifetime estimate of the losses, at a reporting date, that includes evaluation of historical loss experience, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the qualitative framework outlined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the published 2020 Interagency Policy Statement. This process allows management to take a holistic view of the recorded ACL reserve and ensure that all significant and pertinent information is considered.
The Company considers a variety of factors to ensure the safety and soundness of its estimate including a strong internal control framework, extensive methodology documentation, credit underwriting standards which encompass the Company’s desired risk profile, model validation, and ratio analysis. If the Company’s total ACL estimate, as determined in accordance with the approved ACL methodology, is either outside a reasonable range based on review of economic indicators or by comparison of historical ratio analysis, the ACL estimate is an outlier and management will investigate the underlying reason(s). Based on that investigation, issues or factors that previously had not been considered may be identified in the estimation process, which may warrant adjustments to estimated credit losses.
The ending result of this process is a recorded consolidated ACL that represents management’s best estimate of the total expected losses included in the loan portfolio, held-to-maturity securities, and credit deterioration in available-for-sale securities.
Based on the factors above, management of the Company recorded $27.0 million as provision for credit losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $86.0 million for the same period in 2025. As noted above, $62.0 million was recorded to establish an allowance for credit losses on the acquired loans designated as non-PCD loans at the close of the HTLF acquisition in the first quarter of 2025. See Note 13, “Acquisition” above. The increase in the three-month period is the result of applying the methodology for computing the ACL, coupled with the impacts of the current and forecasted economic environment. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the ACL on loans increased three basis points to 1.06% of total loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025.
Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s ACL for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs were $18.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $35.9 million for the same period in 2025. See “Credit Risk Management” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest Income
A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to provide a diverse source of revenue not directly tied to interest rates. Fee-based services are typically non-credit related and are not generally affected by fluctuations in interest rates.
The Company offers multiple fee-based products and services, which management believes will more closely align with customer demands. The Company is currently emphasizing fee-based products and services including trust and securities processing, bankcard, securities trading and brokerage, and cash and treasury management. Management believes that it can offer these products and services both efficiently and profitably, as most have common platforms and support structures.

Noninterest income increased by $38.6 million, or 23.2%, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Table 4 above summarizes the components of noninterest income and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.
Trust and securities processing income consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and wealth management services, mutual fund assets, and alternative asset servicing. The increase in these fees for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in fund services revenue, corporate trust revenue, and trust services income. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, fund services revenue increased $8.8 million, or 20.5%, corporate trust revenue increased $3.4 million, or 19.4%, and trust income increased $2.6 million, or 13.8%, compared to the same period in 2025. The recent volatile markets have impacted the income in this category. Since trust and securities processing fees are primarily asset-based, which are highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets, the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. Management continues to emphasize sales of services to both new and existing clients as well as increasing and improving the distribution channels.
Trading and investment banking income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.8 million, or 30.9%, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was largely driven by increased municipal bond trading volume.
Service charges on deposit accounts for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $2.0 million, or 7.3%, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was largely driven by increased commercial service charge income related to one additional month in 2026 of HTLF revenue.
Brokerage fees for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $3.0 million, or 16.5%. The changes were driven by 12b-1 fees and money market share revenue.
Bankcard fees for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $2.6 million, or 9.8%, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was driven by higher interchange income, partially offset by higher reward costs.
Investment securities gains (losses), net for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $7.8 million, or 163.7%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in investment securities gains was primarily driven by a $3.0 million gain on the sale of a non-marketable security in the first quarter of 2026, coupled with decreased valuations in the Company's non-marketable securities in the first quarter of 2025. The income in this category is highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets, and the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. The Company’s investment portfolio is continually evaluated for opportunities to improve its performance and risk profile relative to market conditions and the
Company’s interest rate expectations. This can result in differences from quarter to quarter in the amount of realized gains or losses on this portfolio.
Other noninterest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, increased $6.4 million, or 48.2%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a $4.3 million increase in gains recorded for recoveries of loans previously charged off by HTLF, coupled with a $1.7 million increase in bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest expense decreased $3.9 million, or 1.0%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025. Table 5 above summarizes the components of noninterest expense and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category. For the first three months of 2026, noninterest expense included $4.4 million in total acquisition-related and other nonrecurring costs, compared to $53.2 million in the same period in 2025.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $1.7 million, or 0.8%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025. Bonus and commission expense decreased $21.3 million, or 29.3%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease is offset by an increase in salary and wage expense of $13.5 million, or 12.3% and an increase in employee benefits expense of $6.1 million, or 15.9%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The variances in salaries and employee benefits are primarily driven by decreased severance, retention bonuses, and change in control payments made to HTLF associates in 2025.
Occupancy expense increased $3.0 million, or 18.7%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increased depreciation expense related to assets acquired from the HTLF acquisition.
Equipment expense decreased $3.6 million, or 21.4%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to decreased software maintenance and amortization expense.
Marketing and business development expense increased $5.8 million, or 72.4%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, driven by the timing of multiple advertising campaigns and increased travel and entertainment expense.
Legal and consulting expense decreased $19.5 million, or 68.2%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to non-recurring transaction costs associated with the acquisition in 2025.
Amortization of other intangible assets increased $6.0 million, or 34.2%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, related to the timing of the HTLF acquisition in the first quarter of 2025.
Other expense increased $5.1 million, or 52.8%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase is driven by a $2.5 million increase in charitable contributions, $1.2 million increase in losses on the sale of other assets and expense related to other real estate owned, and $0.9 million increase in tax expense other than income tax.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.6% for the same period in 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2026 is mainly due to more favorable discrete tax items in 2025, including a benefit from remeasuring deferred tax assets after the HTLF acquisition increased the state marginal tax rate. Additionally, a smaller proportion of pre-tax income in 2026 was earned from tax-exempt municipal securities.
Strategic Lines of Business
The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable Business Segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking. The Company’s senior executive officers regularly evaluate Business Segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal reporting system in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2026. Previously reported results have been reclassified in this Form 10-Q to conform to the Company’s current organizational structure.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, Commercial Banking net income increased $113.1 million, or 181.3%, to $175.5 million, compared to the same period in 2025. Net interest income increased $91.4 million, or 33.4%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an additional month of activity from the acquisition of HTLF, as well as organic legacy-UMB loan growth, and earning asset mix changes. Provision for credit losses decreased $43.0 million for the period, driven by the acquisition of HTLF as well as portfolio metric changes and changes in macro-economic metrics in 2026 as compared to 2025. Noninterest income increased $9.1 million, or 24.4%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increases of $5.8 million in other income driven by increases in gains recorded for recoveries of loans previously charged off by HTLF and increased derivative income, $1.8 million in bankcard fees, and $1.6 million in deposit service charges. Noninterest expense decreased $7.6 million, or 4.4%, to $165.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was driven by a decrease of $15.5 million in technology, service, and overhead expenses, partially offset by increases of $2.8 million in salaries and employee benefit expense, $2.8 million in marketing and business development, and $1.9 million in other noninterest expense.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, Institutional Banking net income increased $17.6 million, or 35.1%, to $67.6 million, compared to the same period last year. Net interest income increased $16.1 million, or 26.4%, compared to the same period last year, due to an increase in funds transfer pricing resulting from higher deposit balances. Noninterest income increased $18.0 million, or 17.4%, to $121.8 million for the three-month period March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was due to increases of $12.1 million in trust and securities processing income driven by higher fund services and corporate trust revenue, $3.0 million in brokerage income due to increased 12b-1 and money market revenue, and $1.8 million in bond trading income. Noninterest expense increased $5.7 million, or 5.3%, primarily driven by increases of $3.5 million in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $1.6 million increase in technology, service, and overhead expense.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, Personal Banking net income improved $49.4 million, or 158.8%, to net income of $18.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $31.1 million in the same period in 2025. Net interest income increased $29.2 million, or 46.6%, compared to the same period last year driven by an additional month of activity from the acquisition of HTLF, as well as organic legacy-UMB loan growth, and earning asset mix change. Provision for credit losses decreased $16.1 million for the period, driven by the acquisition of HTLF as well as by portfolio metric changes and changes in macro-economic metrics in 2026 as compared to 2025. Noninterest income increased $11.5 million, or 45.6%, for the same period primarily driven by increases of $8.2 million in investment securities gains and $2.5 million in trust and securities processing income. Noninterest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 1.9%, primarily due to a decrease of $8.1 million in technology, service, and overhead expenses. This decrease is partially offset by increases of $3.9 million in salaries and employee benefits expense and $1.4 million in marketing and business development.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets of the Company decreased $419.9 million, or 0.6%, as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases of $1.3 billion, or 18.5%, and $216.7 million, or 22.8%, in interest-bearing due from bank and cash and due from banks, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 billion, or 3.5%, in loan balances.
Total assets of the Company increased $3.3 billion, or 4.8%, as of March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to increases of $4.2 billion, or 11.7%, in loan balances and $2.8 billion, or 25.4%, in securities available for sale, partially offset by a decrease of $4.2 billion, or 42.4% in interest-bearing due from bank.

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income. In addition to growing the commercial loan portfolio, management believes its middle market commercial business and its consumer business, including home equity and credit card loan products, are the market niches that represent its best opportunity to cross-sell fee-related services and generate additional noninterest income for the Company.
Actual loan balances totaled $40.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, and increased $1.4 billion, or 3.5%, compared to December 31, 2025, and increased $4.2 billion, or 11.7%, compared to March 31, 2025. Compared to December 31, 2025, commercial and industrial loans increased $798.2 million, or 4.9% and commercial real estate loans increased $250.8 million, or 1.5%. Compared to March 31, 2025, commercial and industrial loans increased $2.9 billion, or 20.9% and commercial real estate loans increased $628.3 million, or 3.9%.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, commercial real estate loans comprised approximately 41.4% and 42.2%, respectively, of the Company's loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than consumer real estate loans because they typically have larger balances and are more affected by adverse conditions in the economy. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operation and management of the properties and the businesses which operate from within them, repayment of such loans may be affected by factors outside the borrower’s control, such as adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy or changes in government regulations. In recent years, commercial real estate markets have been particularly impacted by economic disruption and the evolution of various remote work options, which could impact the long-term performance of some types of office properties within our commercial real estate portfolio. Due to these risks, the Company is actively monitoring its exposure to commercial real estate.
Generally, these loans are made for investment and real estate development or working capital and business expansion purposes and are primarily secured by real estate with a maximum loan-to-value of 80%. Most of these properties are non-owner occupied and have guarantees as additional security. The Company’s investment CRE portfolio (which includes non-owner occupied and construction loans) totaled 26.8% and 27.5% of total Company loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The average investment CRE loan was approximately $3.7 million and $3.6 million, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The properties securing the commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. This diversity helps reduce exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Notwithstanding, commercial real estate loans, in general, may be more adversely impacted by conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
The following table presents the Company’s investment CRE (which includes non-owner occupied and construction loans) by industry.

Investment Securities
The Company’s investment portfolio contains trading, AFS, and HTM securities, as well as FRB stock, FHLB stock, and other miscellaneous investments. Investment securities totaled $20.1 billion as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and comprised 29.8% and 29.9% of the Company’s earning assets, respectively, as of those dates.
The Company’s AFS securities portfolio comprised 68.1% of the Company’s total securities portfolio at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company’s AFS securities portfolio provides liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities. This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. The average life of the AFS securities portfolio was 70.2 months at March 31, 2026, compared to 74.8 months at December 31, 2025, and 77.5 months at March 31, 2025. In addition to providing a potential source of liquidity, the AFS securities portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company’s goal in the management of its AFS securities portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk, and credit risk.
Management expects collateral pledging requirements for public funds, loan demand, and deposit funding to be the primary factors impacting changes in the level of AFS securities. There were $12.7 billion and $13.4 billion of securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, certain trust deposits, derivative transactions, and repurchase agreements at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company’s HTM securities portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, general obligation bonds, and private placement bonds. The HTM portfolio, net of the ACL, totaled $5.7 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The average life of the HTM portfolio was 8.6 years at March 31, 2026, compared to 8.5 years at December 31, 2025, and 8.7 years at March 31, 2025.
The securities portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income. The securities portfolio achieved an average yield on a tax-equivalent basis of 3.82% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.48% for the same period in 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized pre-tax net loss on the AFS securities portfolio was $376.6 million, or 2.7% of the $14.0 billion amortized cost value, compared to $290.8 million at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the unrealized pre-tax net loss on the securities designated as HTM was $530.7 million, or 9.3% of the $5.7 billion amortized cost value, compared to $473.8 million at December 31, 2025. During 2022, the Company transferred securities with an amortized cost balance of $4.1 billion and a fair value of $3.8 billion from the AFS category to the HTM category. The transfer of securities was made at fair value at the time of transfer. The remaining balance of unrealized pre-tax losses related to transferred securities was $132.1 million as of March 31, 2026, and $139.2 million as of December 31, 2025, and was included in the amortized cost balance of HTM securities. See further information in Note 5, “Securities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds
Deposits decreased $676.0 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 and increased $1.5 billion, or 2.5%, from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Total interest-bearing balances decreased $574.4 million and noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $101.6 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Total interest-bearing deposits increased $2.8 billion and noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $1.4 billion from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Noninterest-bearing deposits were 28.4%, 28.3%, and 31.5% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Deposits represent the Company’s primary funding source for its asset base. In addition to the core deposits garnered by the Company’s retail branch structure, the Company continues to focus on its cash management services, as well as its trust and investment company servicing businesses, in order to attract and retain additional deposits. Management believes a strong core deposit composition is one of the Company’s key strengths given its competitive product mix.
As of March 31, 2026, there were an estimated $39.1 billion of uninsured deposits, a decrease of $621.9 million as compared to December 31, 2025, and an increase of $1.5 billion as compared to March 31, 2025. Estimated uninsured deposits comprised approximately 65.1%, 65.4%, and 64.2% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. A portion of these uninsured deposits represent affiliate deposits and collateralized deposits. Affiliate deposits represent deposit accounts owned by the wholly owned subsidiaries of UMB Financial Corporation that are on deposit at UMB Bank, n.a. Collateralized deposits are public fund deposits or corporate trust deposits that are collateralized by high quality securities within the investment portfolio. Excluding affiliate deposits of $2.8 billion and collateralized deposits of $7.1 billion, the adjusted estimated uninsured deposits were $29.2 billion as of March 31, 2026. The adjusted ratio of estimated uninsured deposits, excluding affiliate and collateralized deposits, as a percentage of total deposits was approximately 48.7% as of March 31, 2026. The adjusted ratio of estimated uninsured deposits, excluding affiliate and collateralized deposits, as a percentage of total deposits was approximately 48.1% as of December 31, 2025, and 50.2% as of March 31, 2025.
The Company participates in the IntraFi Cash Service program, which allows its customers to place deposits into the program to receive reciprocal FDIC insurance coverage. The Company had $3.6 billion, $3.5 billion, and $3.4 billion of deposits in the program as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Long-term debt totaled $477.2 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $474.2 million as of December 31, 2025, and $654.4 million as of March 31, 2025.
In September 2022, the Company issued $110.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due in September 2032. The Company received $107.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
expenses, and used the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other uses, contributing Tier 1 capital into the Bank. The subordinated notes were issued with a fixed-to-fixed rate of 6.25% and an effective rate of 6.64%, due to issuance costs, with an interest rate reset date of September 2027.
As part of the acquisition of HTLF, the Company acquired $150.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due in September 2031. The subordinated notes have a fixed interest rate of 2.75% until September 2026, at which time the interest rate will reset quarterly. The subordinated notes had an acquired fair value of $138.8 million as of January 31, 2025.
The remainder of the Company’s long-term debt was assumed from the acquisitions of Marquette Financial Companies in 2015 and HTLF in 2025 and consists of debt obligations payable to 19 unconsolidated trusts that previously issued trust preferred securities. These long-term debt obligations have an aggregate contractual balance of $262.9 million and had a carrying value of $221.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and $220.0 million at December 31, 2025. Interest rates on trust preferred securities are tied to the three-month term SOFR rate with spreads ranging from 133 basis points to 365 basis points and reset quarterly. The trust preferred securities have maturity dates ranging from September 2032 to September 2037.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025, and $2.6 billion at March 31, 2025. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date.
Capital and Liquidity
The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher expenses for extended liability maturities. The Company manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.
Total shareholders’ equity was $7.8 billion at March 31, 2026, a $133.4 million increase as compared to December 31, 2025, and a $1.1 billion increase compared to March 31, 2025. Total common shareholders’ equity was $7.5 billion as of March 31, 2026 compared to $7.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and $6.6 billion at March 31, 2025. Total accumulated other comprehensive loss was $331.4 million at March 31, 2026. This is a decline of $69.8 million as compared to December 31, 2025, and an improvement of $161.3 million as compared to March 31, 2025.
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized, at its April 28, 2026 meeting, the repurchase of up to two million shares of the Company's common stock during the twelve months following the meeting (a Repurchase Authorization). On April 29, 2025 and April 30, 2024, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares during the twelve months following each meeting. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 178,249 shares pursuant to the 2025 Repurchase Authorization, and also acquired shares pursuant to the Company's share-based incentive programs. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase shares of common stock pursuant to any of its announced Repurchase Authorizations, but did acquire shares pursuant to the Company's share-based incentive programs.
At the Company’s quarterly board meeting, the Board of Directors declared a $0.43 per common share quarterly cash dividend payable on July 1, 2026, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2026. Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $193.75 per share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, which results in a dividend of $0.484375 per depositary share. The Series B Preferred Stock dividend is payable on July 15, 2026 to stockholders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock as of the close of business on June 30, 2026.
The Company is a member bank of the FHLB and through this relationship, the Company owns FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances. The Company’s borrowing
capacity is dependent upon the amount of collateral the Company places at the FHLB. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company owned $10.3 million of FHLB stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had four letters of credit outstanding with the FHLB of Des Moines to secure deposits. These letters of credit have an aggregate amount of $210.0 million and have various maturity dates through August 31, 2026. The Company’s remaining borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The Company had no outstanding FHLB advances at the FHLB of Des Moines as of March 31, 2026.
In addition to the borrowing capacity with the FHLB as described above, the Company had additional liquidity of $35.4 billion available via cash, unpledged bond collateral, the federal funds market, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and the IntraFi Cash Service program as of March 31, 2026.
Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. The Company has implemented the Basel III regulatory capital rules adopted by the FRB. Basel III capital rules include a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a minimum tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%. A financial institution’s total capital is also required to equal at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.
The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. The Company is also required to maintain a leverage ratio equal to or greater than 4%. The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of tier 1 core capital to total average assets, less goodwill and intangibles.
The Company's capital position as of March 31, 2026 is summarized in the table below and exceeded regulatory requirements.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company’s main off-balance sheet arrangements are loan commitments, commercial and standby letters of credit, futures contracts and forward exchange contracts, which have maturity dates rather than payment due dates. See Note 10, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for detailed information on these arrangements. The level of the outstanding commitments could be impacted by volatility in the economic markets and governmental responses to inflation, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain constraints. These changing conditions could have impacts on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company for the remainder of the year.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for credit losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, taxes, other contingencies, and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Under different assumptions or conditions, actual results may differ from the recorded estimates.
A summary of critical accounting policies is listed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Form 10-K.
Risk Management
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange prices, commodity prices, or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than trading.
The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading. The following discussion of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.
Interest Rate Risk
In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) and approved by the Board. The ALCO is responsible for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure. The Company’s primary method for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk is the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. The Company also uses a Net Portfolio Value model to measure market value risk under various rate change scenarios and a gap analysis to measure maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time. On a limited basis, the Company uses hedges such as swaps, rate floors, floor spreads, and futures contracts to manage interest rate risk on certain loans, securities, and trust preferred securities. See further information in Note 11 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overall, the Company manages interest rate risk by positioning the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, remaining mindful of the relationship among profitability, liquidity, interest rate risk, and credit risk.
Net Interest Income Modeling
The Company’s primary interest rate risk tool, the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis, measures interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin. This analysis incorporates all of the Company’s assets and liabilities together with assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 200-basis-point upward or a 300-basis-point downward gradual change (e.g. ramp) and immediate change (e.g. shock) of market interest rates over a two year period. In ramp scenarios, rates change gradually for a one-year period and remain constant in year two. In shock scenarios, rates change immediately and the change is sustained for the remainder of the two-year scenario horizon. Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook and repricing strategies. Asset prepayments and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds and other market changes. The results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized and management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results on a regular basis.
Table 13 shows the net interest income increase or decrease over the next two years as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates and a constant sized balance sheet with runoff being replaced.

The Company is positioned relatively neutral to changes in interest rates in the next year. In year one, net interest income is predicted to decrease in all upward rate scenarios, except for 200bps rate shock scenario. In down rate scenarios, net interest income is predicted to increase in all scenarios. In year two, net interest income is predicted to increase in rising rate scenarios and decrease in falling rate scenarios. The Company’s ability to price deposits consistent with its historical approach is a key assumption in these scenarios.

Trading Account
The Company carries securities in a trading account that is maintained according to Board-approved policy and procedures. The policy limits the amount and type of securities that can be carried in the trading account, requires compliance with any limits under applicable law and regulations, and mandates the use of a value-at-risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters. The risk associated with the carrying of trading securities is offset by utilizing financial instruments including exchange-traded financial futures as well as short sales of U.S. Treasury and Corporate securities. The trading securities and related hedging instruments are marked-to-market daily. The trading account had a balance of $24.2 million as of March 31, 2026, $22.3 million as of December 31, 2025, and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Securities sold not yet purchased (i.e., short positions) totaled $8.3 million at March 31, 2026, $4.1 million as of December 31, 2025, and $11.9 million at March 31, 2025 and are classified within the Other liabilities line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading. The discussion in Table 13 above of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading, because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.
Other Market Risk
The Company has minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts. See Note 10 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk represents the risk that a customer or counterparty may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on the Bank’s risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. Loan requests are centrally reviewed to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards. In addition, the Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the Bank. This review team performs periodic examinations of the Bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authorities governing the Bank also review loan portfolios.
A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans on nonaccrual. The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $50.4 million to $151.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025, and increased $6.6 million, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase compared to March 31, 2025 is attributable to additional non-performing loans related to the acquisition of HTLF.
The Company had $4.9 million, $4.8 million, and $4.2 million of other real estate owned as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Other repossessed assets totaled $26.8 million as of March 31, 2025. Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $14.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $6.3 million at March 31, 2025 and $18.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when received in cash.
Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. The Company had $163 thousand of restructured loans at March 31, 2026, $189 thousand at March 31, 2025, and $169 thousand at December 31, 2025.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The Company believes that the most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, the Company believes public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments on and maturity of assets, which include $13.7 billion of high-quality securities available for sale as of March 31, 2026. The liquidity of the Company and the Bank is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Additionally, management believes it can raise debt or equity capital in the future, should the need arise.
Another factor affecting liquidity is the amount of deposits and customer repurchase agreements that have pledging requirements. All customer repurchase agreements require collateral in the form of a security. The U.S. Government, other public entities, and certain trust depositors require the Company to pledge securities if their deposit balances are greater than the FDIC-insured deposit limitations. These pledging requirements affect liquidity risk in that the related security cannot otherwise be disposed of due to the pledging restriction. There were $12.7 billion and $13.4 billion of securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, certain trust deposits, derivative transactions, and repurchase agreements at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at March 31, 2026 was $24.6 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.
The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, operating expenses, and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from bank and non-bank subsidiaries traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be sufficient in the future. The Bank is subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company. For the most part, the Bank can pay dividends at least equal to its current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. The
Company also uses cash to inject capital into its bank and non-bank subsidiaries to maintain adequate capital as well as fund strategic initiatives.
In September 2022, the Company issued $110.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due in September 2032. The Company received $107.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and used the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other uses, contributing Tier 1 capital into the Bank. The subordinated notes were issued with a fixed-to-fixed rate of 6.25% and an effective rate of 6.64%, due to issuance costs, with an interest rate reset date of September 2027.
As part of the acquisition of HTLF, the Company acquired $150.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due September 2031. The subordinated notes have a fixed interest rate of 2.75% until September 2026, at which time the interest rate will reset quarterly. The subordinated notes had an acquired fair value of $138.8 million as of January 31, 2025.
The Company is a member bank of the FHLB. The Company owns $10.3 million of FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances. The Company’s borrowing capacity is dependent upon the amount of collateral the Company places at the FHLB. As of March 31, 2026 the Company has four letters of credit outstanding with the FHLB of Des Moines to secure deposits. These letters of credit have an aggregate amount of $210.0 million and have various maturity dates through August 31, 2026. The Company’s remaining borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The Company had no outstanding FHLB advances at the FHLB of Des Moines as of March 31, 2026.
In addition to borrowing capacity with the FHLB as described above, the Company had additional liquidity of $35.4 billion available via cash, unpledged bond collateral, the federal funds market, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and the IntraFi Cash Service program as of March 31, 2026.
Operational Risk
Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including those operations performed for the Company by third parties. This would include but is not limited to the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and unplanned interruptions in service. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. The Company must comply with a number of legal and regulatory requirements.
The Company operates in many markets and relies on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation. In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.
The Company maintains systems of internal controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics, and business practices are followed on a uniform basis. In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk. Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems, and corporate-wide processes and procedures.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, requires the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to make certain certifications under this Form 10-Q with respect to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company has a Code of Ethics that expresses the values that drive employee behavior and maintains the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of ethics.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for ensuring that the Company’s SEC filings are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period required and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
There were no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, or in response to Item 1A to Part II of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026.
