| Basis of presentation and use of estimates | The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP interim reporting requirements and general banking industry guidelines, and therefore, do not include all information and notes included in the annual consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations for the reporting periods and the related disclosures. Although management’s estimates contemplate current conditions and how they are expected to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could vary from those anticipated, which could cause the Company’s financial condition and results of operations to vary significantly from those estimates.

| Earnings per common share | Earnings per common share Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans where securities have been granted but are not yet vested and distributable. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus an incremental number of common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method.

| Recently adopted accounting standards and Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards | Recently adopted accounting standards: The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards that were not disclosed in the Company's 2025 audited consolidated financial statements included on Form 10-K. Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This update is intended to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses. This ASU requires certain details for expenses presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income as well as selling expenses to be presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” Under Topic 326, when loans are purchased the acquirer is required to make a determination as to which loans are PCD and which are non-PCD. PCD loans are then accounted for using the gross-up approach, which requires the recognition of an ACL for the estimate of credit losses at acquisition date by recording an offsetting gross-up adjustment to the purchase price of the acquired financial asset. Under this amendment, the gross-up approach is expanded and applied to non-PCD loans (except credit cards) that are deemed to be seasoned. A purchased seasoned loan is defined as a loan (excluding credit cards) that is acquired without credit deterioration and acquired either through a business combination transaction, or acquired at least 90 days after origination where the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loan. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the initial application date and early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period. The Company did not early adopt this amendment for the Southern States merger, but may consider early adoption of this update prior to its required effective date. In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” The objective of this update is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The update addresses five specific issues with the intent to better reflect hedging strategies with financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. While not currently applicable, as the Company does not have any hedging activity, the Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures should hedging activities occur.

| Subsequent events | Subsequent events The Company has evaluated, for consideration of recognition or disclosure, subsequent events that occurred through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2026, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements, that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

| Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels, based on the reliability of inputs: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The Company records the fair values of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis using the following methods and assumptions:
Other real estate owned acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Appraisals for both collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified appraisers whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the lending administrative department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry wide statistics. Collateral-dependent loans that are dependent on recovery through sale of equipment, such as farm equipment, automobiles and aircrafts are generally valued based on public source pricing or subscription services while more complex assets are valued through leveraging brokers who have expertise in the collateral involved.

| Credit Quality - Commercial Type Loans | Credit Quality - Commercial Type Loans The Company categorizes commercial loan types into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans that share similar risk characteristics collectively. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics may be evaluated individually. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
