The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the full impact of our Houston market expansion. The number of full-time equivalent employees (excluding temporary employees) increased by 25, or 3.8%, to 675 at September 30, 2026 compared to 650 at September 30, 2025, and increased by twelve from the end of the second quarter of 2026.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common stockholders’ equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015. We recognized an $8.6 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities in noninterest income during the second quarter of 2025 due to restructuring the portfolio. We reversed a $2.3 million legal reserve from interest expense during the second quarter of 2025. We recognized a $7.8 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities in non-interest income during the third quarter of 2025 due to continued restructuring of the portfolio. These adjustments to our results are to reflect items unusual, or infrequent, in nature and are not considered to be part of our non-interest expense, run rate. Each of adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net interest income, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity, and adjusted efficiency ratio excludes the impact of this, net of tax, and are all considered non-GAAP financial measures. This press release also contains the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted net interest income, adjusted noninterest income, and adjusted noninterest expense.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except per share data.
