Excluding certain items affecting comparability, core earnings (non-GAAP) were $66.73 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the current quarter compared to $44.10 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"TowneBank posted a strong first quarter achieving record total revenues of $246 million. We continue to invest in top talent across our Carolina footprint while maintaining a disciplined focus on credit quality, liquidity and robust capital levels to support future growth. Our Main Street Banking model remains well positioned to perform across a broad range of economic conditions," said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

Highlights for First Quarter 2026:

Towne successfully completed the acquisition of Dogwood State Bank ("Dogwood"), in January 2026. Included in that acquisition were $1.95 billion in loans, $190.08 million in securities, and $1.93 billion in deposits.
Total revenues were a record $246.45 million, an increase of $63.35 million, or 34.60%, compared to first quarter 2025. Net interest income increased $52.46 million, driven by an increase in interest income. Noninterest income increased $10.89 million.
Total deposits were $18.48 billion, an increase of 11.94%, or $1.97 billion, in comparison to December 31, 2025. Excluding $1.93 billion in Dogwood acquired deposits, total deposits would have increased $39.64 million, compared to the linked quarter.
Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $524.24 million, or 10.33%, compared to the linked quarter driven by acquired deposits of $544.48 million.
Loans held for investment were $15.26 billion, an increase of $1.93 billion, or 14.44%, compared to December 31, 2025. Excluding loans acquired in the quarter, total loans would have decreased $26.20 million, or 0.20%, compared to the linked quarter.
Annualized return on common shareholders' equity was 5.85% compared to 8.27% in first quarter 2025. Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) was 9.58% compared to 11.50% in first quarter 2025.
Net interest margin was 3.58% for the quarter and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 3.60%, including purchase accounting accretion of 11 basis points, compared to the prior year quarter net interest margin of 3.14% and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) of 3.17%, including purchase accounting accretion of 3 basis points.
Net interest margin increased 2 basis points and spread increased 4 basis points, compared to the linked quarter, which included purchase accounting accretion of 15 basis points. Accretion related to the Dogwood transaction was compressed compared to previous transactions due to the Company's adoption of the new accounting standard expanding the use of the gross-up approach for purchased loans effective January 1, 2026.
We expect net interest income to be impacted by net purchase accounting accretion income of $8.34 million and $9.12 million in the remainder of 2026 and 2027, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 18.19% in the quarter compared to 12.30% in first quarter 2025 and 23.72% in the linked quarter. The change in the effective rate from first quarter 2026 to 2025 was due to increases in state tax expense and nondeductible merger and acquisition expenses. The lower effective tax rate in the current quarter compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to the increase in credits and losses related to LIHTC investment properties.

The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.69% in first quarter 2025. Interest expense on deposits increased $5.38 million, or 8.01%, from the prior year quarter as higher volume outpaced decreases in rate.
Our total cost of deposits decreased to 1.63% from 1.89% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 due to lower interest-bearing deposit rates.
Average interest-earning assets totaled $19.61 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $17.73 billion in the linked quarter, an increase of 10.62%.
Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $13.16 billion, an increase of $1.40 billion, or 11.95%, from the linked quarter. Total borrowings increased by $141.34 million over the linked quarter, due to debt assumed in the Dogwood acquisition.

Our March 31, 2026 allowance for credit losses is further broken down into community banking which represented 1.15% of total loans and government lending which represented 0.16% of total loans.

Property management fee revenue increased $1.89 million, or 17.88%, to $12.44 million in first quarter 2026, compared to first quarter 2025. The increase was driven by changes to our fee structure resulting in revenue growth.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense:

Total noninterest expense was $195.89 million compared to $130.54 million in 2025, an increase of $65.35 million, or 50.06%. This increase was primarily attributable to acquisition-related expenses and growth in salaries and employee benefits.
The acquisitions of Dogwood, Old Point Financial Corporation ("Old Point"), and Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. ("Village"), as well as the sale of Resort Property Management, resulted in $31.69 million in acquisition-related expenses in the quarter.
An increase in banking personnel related to the Dogwood, Old Point, and Village acquisitions represented $10.39 million of the $18.10 million increase in salaries and benefits expenses, compared to the prior year quarter. Additional contributing factors were annual base salary adjustments that went into effect mid-September 2025 and performance-based incentives.
