BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,
Capital City Bank (the “Bank” or “CCB”). We offer a broad array of products and services through a total of 62 full-service offices
and 107 ATMs/ITMs located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Through Capital City Home Loans, LLC (“CCHL”), we have 27
additional offices in the Southeast for our mortgage banking business. We provide a full range of banking services, including
traditional deposit and credit services, mortgage banking, asset management, trust, merchant services, bankcards, securities brokerage
services and financial advisory services, including life insurance products , risk management and asset protection services.
Our profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest and fees received on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses, operating
expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest
income such as mortgage banking revenues, wealth management fees, deposit fees, and bank card fees.
We have included a detailed discussion of our long-term strategic objectives as part of the MD&A section of our 2024 Form 10-K.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case, removes the effect of
goodwill and other intangibles that resulted from merger and acquisition activity. We believe these measures are useful to investors
because they allow investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered alternatives to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)-basis financial statements and
other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently.
The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for each quarter presented is provided below.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Results of Operations
Performance Summary.
Net income attributable to common shareowners totaled $15.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2025 compared to $16.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, and $14.2 million, or $0.83
per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, net income attributable to common shareowners
totaled $31.9 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the same
period of 2024.
Net Interest Income.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6
million for the first quarter 2025 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
was driven by a $0.9 million increase in investment securities income and a $0.4 million increase in overnight funds income. One
additional calendar day in the second quarter of 2025 also contributed to the increase. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the
increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in investment securities income and a $1.2 million decrease in deposit interest
expense. For the first six months of 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $84.8 million compared to $77.8 million for the
same period of 2024 with the increase primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in investment securities income, a $1.9 million
increase in overnight funds income, and a $1.4 million decrease in deposit interest expense.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses.
We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of
2025 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of
2025, we recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2024. At
June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.9 million (1.13% of loans HFI) compared to $29.7 million
(1.12% of loans HFI) at March 31, 2025 and $29.3 million at December 31, 2024 (1.10% of loans HFI).
Noninterest Income
. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $20.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first
quarter of 2025 and $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $0.1 million, or 0.5%, increase over the first quarter of 2025
was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.3 million increase in deposit fees, partially offset
by a $0.6 million decrease in wealth management fees. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase
was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in mortgage
banking revenues and a $0.1 million decrease in other income. For the first six months of 2025, noninterest income totaled $39.9
million compared to $37.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in wealth management
fees and a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees.
Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $42.5 million compared to $38.7 million for the first
quarter of 2025 and $40.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million, or 9.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025,
reflected a $3.3 million increase in other expense (primarily lower gains from sale of banking facilities), a $0.3 million increase in
occupancy expense, and a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million,
or 5.2%, increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation expense. For the first six months of 2025, noninterest
expense totaled $81.2 million compared to $80.6 million for the same period of 2024 with the $0.6 million, or 0.8%, increase due to a
$3.9 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in other expense and a $0.1 million
decrease in occupancy expense.
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
Average earning assets totaled $4.032 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $38.1 million, or 1.0%,
over the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $110.1 million, or 2.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase over both
prior periods was driven by higher average deposit balances. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the change in the earning asset
mix reflected a $27.8 million increase in overnight funds and a $25.7 million increase in investment securities that was partially offset
by a $13.3 million decrease in loans held for investment (“HFI”) and a $2.1 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”).
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $92.8 million increase in investment securities
and a $50.5 million increase in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $24.8 million decrease in loans HFI and a $8.4 million
decrease in loans HFS.
Loans.
Average loans HFI decreased $13.3 million, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2025 and decreased $24.8 million, or 0.9%,
from the fourth quarter of 2024. Loans HFI at June 30, 2025 decreased $29.3 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2025 and decreased
$20.1 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2024.
Credit Quality
. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4
million at March 31, 2025 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total
assets was 0.15%, compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2025 and 0.15% at December 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.4 million at
June 30, 2025, a $2.2 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2024. Further, classified
loans totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2025, a $9.4 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $8.7 million increase over December
31, 2024. The increase over the prior periods was primarily due to downgrade of four residential real estate loans totaling $4.2 million
and two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.3 million.
Deposits
. Average total deposits were $3.681 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 0.4%, over the
first quarter of 2025 and an increase of $80.3 million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. At June 30, 2025, total deposits were
$3.705 billion, a decrease of $79.0 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $32.9 million, or 0.9%, over December
31, 2024. Public funds totaled $596.6 million at June 30, 2025, $648.0 million at March 31, 2025, and $660.9 million at December
31, 2024.
Capital
. At June 30, 2025, we were “well-capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.60% and a tangible common equity
ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 10.09% compared to 19.20% and 9.61%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and 18.64% and
9.51%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be “well-
capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning assets
less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. This information is provided on a “taxable equivalent” basis to reflect the tax-
exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local government debt obligations. We provide an analysis of our net
interest income including average yields and rates in Table I, “Average Balances & Interest Rates,” on page 47.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6 million for the first quarter
of 2025 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was driven by a $0.9
million increase in investment securities income and a $0.4 million increase in overnight funds income. One additional calendar day in
the second quarter of 2025 contributed to the increase. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a
$2.7 million increase in investment securities income and a $1.2 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment
purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income for both prior period comparisons. Further, the decrease
in deposit interest expense from the prior year period reflected the gradual decrease in our deposit rates, as short term rates began
declining in the second half of 2024.
For the first six months of 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $84.8 million compared to $77.8 million for the same period
of 2024 with the increase primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in investment securities income, a $1.9 million increase in
overnight funds income, and a $1.4 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the
increase in investment securities income. Higher average deposit balances contributed to the increase in overnight funds income. The
decrease in deposit interest expense reflected the aforementioned decrease in our deposit rates.
Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.30%, an increase of eight basis points over the first quarter of 2025 and an
increase of 28 basis points over the second quarter of 2024. For the month of June 2025, our net interest margin was 4.36%. For the
first six months of 2025, our net interest margin increased by 25 basis points to 4.26% compared to the same period of 2024. The
increase in net interest margin over all prior periods reflected a higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new purchases at
higher yields. Lower deposit cost also contributed to the improvement over both prior year periods. For the second quarter of 2025,
our cost of funds was 82 basis points, a decrease of two basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a 15-basis point decrease from
the second quarter of 2024. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis points, 82 basis points, and 95
basis points, respectively, for the same periods.
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million for the first
quarter of 2025 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we recorded a provision expense for
credit losses of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2024. For the second quarter of 2025, the provision
reflected an expense of $0.7 million for loans HFI and a benefit of $0.1 million for unfunded loan commitments. This compares to a
$1.1 million expense for loans HFI, and $0.3 million benefit for the first quarter of 2025, and a $1.1 million expense for loans HFI and
$0.1 million expense for debt securities in the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, the provision reflected a $1.8
million expense for loans HFI and a $0.4 million benefit for unfunded loan commitments compared to a $2.1 million expense for loans
HFI, $0.1 million for debt securities, and a $0.1 million benefit for unfunded loan commitments for the first six months of 2024. We
discuss the various factors that impacted our provision expense in further detail below under the heading Allowance for Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $20.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 and
$19.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $0.1 million, or 0.5%, increase over the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a
$0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.3 million increase in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million
decrease in wealth management fees. The decrease in wealth management fees reflected lower insurance commission revenues.
Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in wealth
management fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.1 million decrease in other
income. The increase in wealth management fees reflected increases in trust fees of $0.5 million and retail brokerage fees of $0.4
million.
For the first six months of 2025, noninterest income totaled $39.9 million compared to $37.7 million for the same period of 2024,
primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in wealth management fees and a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues
that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees. The increase in wealth management fees reflected increases in
retail brokerage fees of $1.0 million, trust fees of $0.7 million, and insurance commission revenue of $0.1 million. The increases in
retail brokerage and trust fees were attributable to a combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases
implemented in early 2025. The increase in mortgage banking revenues was due to a higher gain on sale margin.
Noninterest income represented 31.7% of operating revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) in the second quarter of
2025 compared to 32.4% in the first quarter of 2025 and 33.3% in the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025,
noninterest income represented 32.0% of operating revenues compared to 32.7% for the same period of 2024.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.
Deposit Fees
. Deposit fees for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $5.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5.1%, over the first
quarter of 2025, and a decrease of $0.1 million from the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, deposit fees totaled
$10.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.3%, from the same period of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
was driven by higher account maintenance and overdraft fees. The decrease from both prior year periods reflected lower overdraft
fees and commercial account analysis fee income that was partially offset by higher account maintenance fees.
Bank Card Fees
. Bank card fees for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $3.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.4%, over the
first quarter of 2025, and comparable to the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, bank card fees totaled $7.3
million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.3%, from the same period of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
reflected growth in new checking accounts. The decrease from the prior year periods reflected lower debit card utilization as
consumer spending patterns normalize.
Wealth Management Fees
. Wealth management fees include trust fees through Capital City Trust (i.e., managed accounts and
trusts/estates), retail brokerage fees through Capital City Investments (i.e., investment, insurance products, and retirement accounts),
and financial advisory fees through Capital City Strategic Wealth (i.e., including the sale of life insurance, risk management and asset
protection services). Wealth management fees for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $5.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 9.7%,
from the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $0.8 million, or 17.3%, over the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first
quarter of 2025, the decrease reflected lower insurance commission revenue. For the first six months of 2025, wealth management
fees totaled $11.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 20.3%, over the same period of 2024, and reflected a $1.0 million increase in
retail brokerage fees, a $0.7 million increase in trust fees, and a $0.1 million increase insurance commission revenue. At June 30,
2025, total assets under management were approximately $3.192 billion compared to $3.068 billion at March 31, 2025 and $3.049
billion at December 31, 2024. Compared to the prior periods, the growth in assets under management was primarily due to new retail
brokerage accounts and to a lesser extent new managed trust accounts.
Mortgage Banking Revenues.
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.4
million, or 9.7%, over the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 4.4%, from the second quarter of 2024. For the first
six months of 2025, mortgage banking revenues totaled $8.0 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period of 2024. The
increase compared to the first quarter of 2025 was attributable to higher loan sale volume. A higher gain on sale margin drove the
favorable variance for the six month period comparison. We provide a detailed overview of our mortgage banking operation,
including a detailed break-down of mortgage banking revenues, mortgage servicing activity, and warehouse funding within Note 4 –
Mortgage Banking Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other
. Other income totaled $1.5 million for the second quarter of 202 5, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 12.9%, from the first quarter of
2025, and a decrease of $0.1 million, or 7.2%, from the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, other income totaled
$3.3 million, comparable to the same period of 2024. The decrease from the first quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to
decreases in loan servicing income and miscellaneous income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $42.5 million compared to $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and
$40.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million, or 9.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025, reflected a $3.3
million increase in other expense, a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense.
The increase in other expense was driven by a $4.5 million increase in other real estate expense which reflected lower gains from the
sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5
million decrease in charitable contribution expense and a $0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. Compared to the second
quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million, or 5.2%, increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation expense which
reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.8 million increase in associate benefit expense.
For the first six months of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $81.2 million compared to $80.6 million for the same period of 2024 with
the $0.6 million, or 0.8%, increase due to a $3.9 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $3.2 million
decrease in other expense and a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy expense. The increase in compensation was due to a $2.5 million
increase in salary expense and a $1.4 million increase in associate benefit expense. The decrease in other expense was primarily due
to a $4.5 million decrease in other real estate expense due to lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, and a $1.0 million
decrease in miscellaneous expense (non-service component of pension expense), partially offset by increases in processing expense of
$1.1 million (outsource of core processing system), charitable contribution expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees of $0.5
million.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail below.
Compensation.
Compensation expense totaled $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, a $0.2 million, or 0.9%, increase over the
first quarter of 2025 and a $2.1 million, or 8.5%, increase over the second quarter of 2024. The increase over the first quarter of 2025
reflected a $0.1 million increase in salary expense and a $0.1 million increase in associate benefit expense. Compared to the second
quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million, or 8.5%, increase reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.8 million increase in
associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $0.9 million and
base salaries of $0.4 million (merit-based). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a $0.6 million increase in
associate insurance expense and a $0.2 million increase in stock compensation expense. For the first six months of 2025,
compensation expense totaled $52.7 million compared to $48.8 million for the same period of 2024 with the $3.9 million increase
attributable to a $2.5 million increase in salary expense and a $1.4 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in
salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $1.2 million, base salaries of $0.9 million (merit-based),
and commissions of $0.7 million (retail brokerage and mortgage). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a
higher cost for associate insurance.
Occupancy
. Occupancy expense totaled $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, a $0.3 million, or 4.1%, increase over the first
quarter of 2025 and a $0.1 million, or 1.1%, increase over the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, occupancy
expense totaled $13.9 million compared to $14.0 million for the same period of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the
increase was primarily due to higher expense for maintenance agreements and banking office leases.
Other
. Other expense totaled $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and
$9.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, other expense totaled $14.6 million compared to $17.8
million for the same period of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the $3.3 million increase was driven by a $4.5 million
increase in other real estate expense which reflected lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations
center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in charitable contribution expense and a $0.6
million decrease in miscellaneous expense.
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest expense as a percentage of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income) was 67.26% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 62.93% for the first quarter of 202 5 and 68.61% for
the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, this ratio was 65.13% compared to 69.81% for the same period of 2024.
Income Taxes
We realized income tax expense of $5.0 million (effective rate of 24.9%) for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.1 million
(effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025 and $3.2 million (effective rate of 18.5%) for the second quarter of 2024. For the
first six months of 2025, we realized income tax expense of $10.1 million (effective rate of 24.1%) compared to $6.7 million
(effective rate of 20.6%) for the same period of 2024. A lower level of tax benefit accrued from a solar tax credit equity fund drove
the increase in our effective tax rate for all prior period comparisons. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect
our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2025.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning assets totaled $4.032 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $38.1 million, or 1.0%, over the first
quarter of 2025, and an increase of $110.1 million, or 2.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase over both prior periods was
driven by higher average deposit balances (see below –
Deposits
). Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the change in the earning
asset mix reflected a $27.8 million increase in overnight funds and a $25.7 million increase in investment securities that was partially
offset by a $13.3 million decrease in loans held for investment (“HFI”) and a $2.1 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”).
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $92.8 million increase in investment securities
and a $50.5 million increase in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $24.8 million decrease in loans HFI and a $8.4 million
decrease in loans HFS.
Investment Securities
Average investments totaled $1.008 billion, a $25.7 million, or 2.6%, increase over the first quarter of 2025 and $92.8 million, or
10.1%, increase over the fourth quarter of 2024. Our investment portfolio represented 25.0% of our average earning assets for the
second quarter of 2025 compared to 24.6% for the first quarter of 2025 and 23.3% for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the remainder of
2025, we will continue to monitor our overall liquidity position and market conditions to determine if cash flow from the investment
portfolio should be reinvested or allowed to flow into overnight funds.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management. Two types of classifications are approved for investment securities which are Available -for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”). At June 30, 2025, $462.6 million, or 46.3%, of the investment portfolio was classified as HTM and
$533.5 million, or 53.4%, was classified as AFS. The average maturity of our total portfolio at June 30, 2025 was 2.66 years
compared to 2.64 years at March 31, 2025 and 2.54 years at December 31, 2024. The duration of our investment portfolio at June 30,
2025 was 2.14 years compared to 2.10 years at March 31, 2025 and 2.19 years at December 31, 2024. Additional information on
unrealized gains/losses in the AFS and HTM portfolios is provided in Note 2 – Investment Securities.
We
determine the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities.
We
consider multiple factors in determining classification, including regulatory capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income, and liquidity needs. Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity. HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding them to
maturity. HTM investments are measured at amortized cost.
We
do not trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain a trading portfolio.
At June 30, 2025, there were 788 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses pre-tax totaling $33.0 million. 48 of
these positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. 650 are U.S. government agency
securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. We believe the long history of no credit losses on government securities
indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively zero. At June 30, 2025, all collateralized
mortgage obligation securities, mortgage-backed securities, Small Business Administration securities, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Treasury
bonds held were AAA rated. The remaining 90 positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a credit component. At
June 30, 2025, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of $69,000 and municipal securities had an allowance of
less than $1,000. None of the securities held by the Company were past due or in nonaccrual status at June 30, 2025.
Loans HFI
Average loans HFI decreased by $13.3 million, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2025 and decreased by $24.8 million, or 0.9%, from
the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was due to decreases in construction loans of $24.6
million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $1.9 million, and commercial loans of $3.4 million, partially offset by increases to
residential real estate loans of $10.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $2.1 million, and home equity loans of $4.1 million.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $33.2 million,
commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $4.0 million, partially offset by increases in home
equity loans of $10.8 million, residential real estate loans of $9.9 million, and commercial real estate loans of $1.9 million.
Loans HFI at June 30, 2025 decreased by $29.3 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2025 and decreased by $20.1 million, or 0.8%, from
December 31, 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in construction loans of $18.2
million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $8.7 million, commercial loans of $4.4 million, and commercial real estate loans
of $4.4 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $5.8 million and home equity loans of $2.2 million.
Compared to December 31, 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $45.9 million,
commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.0 million, partially offset by increases in
commercial real estate loans of $23.4 million, residential real estate loans of $17.9 million, and home equity loans of $8.1 million.
Without compromising our credit standards , changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk, we
continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million at March
31, 2025 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.15%,
compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2025 and 0.15% at December 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.4 million at June 30, 2025, a
$2.2 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2024 with the increase over the first quarter
of 2025 primarily attributable to two home equity loans totaling $1.8 million. Classified loans totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2025,
a $9.4 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $8.7 million increase over December 31, 2024. The increase over the prior periods
was primarily due to the downgrade of four residential real estate loans totaling $4.2 million and two commercial real estate loans
totaling $4.3 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts (net of recoveries). Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to be charged -off. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision but recorded as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s view of current
conditions and forecasts.
At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.9 million compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2025 and
$29.3 million at December 31, 2024. Activity within the allowance is provided in Note 3 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance
for Credit Losses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The slight increase in the allowance over March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to qualitative factor adjustments that were partially offset by lower loan balances. Net
loan charge-offs for both the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025 were comparable at nine basis points of average
loans. At June 30, 2025, the allowance represented 1.13% of loans HFI compared to 1.12% at March 31, 2025, and 1.10% at
December 31, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million and $2.2
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decline in the allowance for unfunded commitments from March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 reflected a lower level of unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for unfunded commitments is
recorded in other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total deposits were $3.681 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 0.4%, over the first quarter
of 2025 and an increase of $80.3 million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
was attributable to higher core deposit balances (primarily noninterest bearing checking and money market), partially offset by a
decline in public funds balances (primarily NOW accounts) due to the seasonal reduction in those balances. The increase over the
fourth quarter of 2024 reflected strong growth in core deposit balances and a seasonal increase in public funds balances (primarily
NOW) which are received/deposited by those clients starting in December and peak on average in the first quarter.
At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $3.705 billion, a decrease of $79.0 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of
$32.9 million, or 0.9%, over December 31, 2024. The decrease from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a seasonal decline in public
funds balances, (primarily money market and noninterest bearing). The increase over December 31, 2024 reflected higher core
deposit balances, primarily noninterest bearing accounts. Public funds totaled $596.6 million at June 30, 2025, $648.0 million at
March 31, 2025, and $660.9 million at December 31, 2024.
Business deposit transaction accounts classified as repurchase agreements averaged $22.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, a
decrease of $7.3 million from the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $5.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. At June 30,
2025, repurchase agreement balances were $21.8 million compared to $22.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $26.2 million at December
31, 2024.
We continue to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through the current rate environment.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. We have risk
management policies designed to monitor and limit exposure to market risk and we do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. In asset and liability management activities, our
policies are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management.
Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to
interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in
market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling market interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income. Net interest
income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by
other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’ equity.
We have established what we believe to be a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is administered by
management’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits of risk, which are quantitative
measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure of net interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital
(a measure of economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for maturities from one
day to 30 years. We measure the potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our short-term earnings, long-
term value, and liquidity by employing simulation analysis through the use of computer modeling. The simulation model captures
optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors embedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by
us. When interest rates change, actual movements in different categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan
prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from assumptions used in the model. Finally, the
methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their
debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.
The statement of financial condition is subject to testing for interest rate shock possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk.
We apply instantaneous, parallel rate shocks to the base case in 100 basis point (bp) increments ranging from down 400bp to up
400bps at least once per quarter, with the analysis reported to ALCO, our Market Risk Oversight Committee (“MROC”), our
Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee (“EROC”) and the Board of Directors. We augment our interest rate shock analysis with
alternative interest rate scenarios on a quarterly basis that may include ramps, and a flattening or steepening of the yield curve (non-
parallel shift). In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are particularly uncertain or when other
business conditions so dictate.
Our goal is to structure the statement of financial condition so that net interest earnings at risk over 12-month and 24-month periods
and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. We attempt to
achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate assets,
by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by managing the mix of our core
deposits, and by adjusting our rates to market conditions on a continuing basis.
Analysis.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term
performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, and do not
necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income (“NII”) at Risk position of an instantaneous, parallel rate shock indicates that in the short-term (over the next
12 months), all rising rate environments will positively impact the net interest margin of the Company, while declining rate
environments will have a negative impact on the net interest margin. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, these metrics generally
became more favorable in the rising rate scenarios and less favorable in the falling rate scenarios primarily due to the increase in loan
prepayment speed assumptions. The instantaneous parallel rate shock results over the next 12-month and 24-month periods are
outside of policy in the rates down 200 bps, 300 bps, and 400 bps scenarios largely due to the limited ability to decrease deposit rates
the full extent of this rate change, and to a lesser extent the increase in variable rate overnight funds.
The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all
of our cash flows by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between these
discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which in theory approximates the fair value of our net
assets.

At June 30, 2025, the economic value of equity was favorable in all rising rate environments and unfavorable in the falling rate
environments. Compared to March 31, 2025, EVE metrics remained stable. EVE is currently in compliance with policy in all rate
scenarios as the EVE ratio exceeds the policy minimum of 5.0% in each shock scenario.
As the interest rate environment and the dynamics of the economy continue to change, additional simulations will be analyzed to
address not only the changing rate environment, but also the change in mix of our financial assets and liabilities measured over
multiple years, to help assess the risk to the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to
maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their
terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and
monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of
funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented
by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and
FHLB borrowings. We believe that the cash generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to capital resources are
sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.
At June 30, 2025, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.603 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $395 million) in
additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the
Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits. We recognize the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed
a Contingent Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress levels and our response and action based on the level of severity.
We periodically test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases
that certain credit facilities may no longer be available. We conduct a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that
could potentially occur at the Bank and report results to our ALCO, MROC , EROC, and Board of Directors. We believe the liquidity
available to us at June 30, 2025 was sufficient to meet our on-going needs and execute our business strategy.
We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for
borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental
agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. Additional information on our investment portfolio is provided within Note 2
- Investment Securities.
The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold
position of $348.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $298.3 million in
the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans.
We expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $10.0 million over the next 12 months, which will primarily consist of
construction of new offices, office remodeling, office equipment/furniture, and technology purchases. Management expects that these
capital expenditures will be funded with existing resources without impairing our ability to meet our on-going obligations.
Borrowings
Average short -term borrowings totaled $33.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $37.3 million for the first quarter of
2025 and $34.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease from both prior periods reflected lower repurchase agreement
balances, partially offset by an increase in mortgage warehouse borrowings. Additional detail on warehouse borrowings is provided in
Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have issued two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016. In the second
quarter of 2025, we made a principal payment of $5.1 million on this note. The second note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG
Capital Trust II in May 2005. In the second quarter of 2025, we made a principal payment of $5.1 million on this note. The interest
payment for the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month CME Term
SOFR (secured overnight financing rate) plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures on December 31, 2034. The interest payment for
the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable interest rate based on three-month CME Term
SOFR plus a margin of 1.80%. This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds from these borrowings were used to partially fund
acquisitions. Under the terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event of default or if we elect to defer interest
on the note, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock or purchase or
acquire any of our capital stock.
In the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated debt.
The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing and $20 million of the
CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing). The interest rate swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (three-month
CME Term SOFR plus spread) and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years. Additional detail on the interest rate swap
agreement is provided in Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table on page 34. At June 30, 2025, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $526.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $512.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $495.3 million at
December 31, 2024. For the first six months of 2025, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to
shareowners of $31.9 million, a net $5.5 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of common stock
of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.9 million. The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss
reflected a $6.4 million decrease in the investment securities loss that was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the fair value
of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $8.2 million
($0.48 per share) and net adjustments totaling $1.8 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans.
At June 30, 2025, our total risk-based capital ratio was 19.60% compared to 19.20% at March 31, 2025 and 18.64% at December 31,
2024. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.81%, 16.08%, and 15.54%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was
11.14%, 11.17%, and 11.05%, respectively, on these dates. At June 30, 2025, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds
to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP
financial measure) was 10.09% at June 30, 2025 compared to 9.61% and 9.51% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
respectively. If the unrealized loss for held-to-maturity securities of $9.9 million (after-tax) was recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.86%.
Our tangible capital ratio is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension liability through other comprehensive income in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715. At June 30, 2025, the net pension asset reflected in other
comprehensive loss was $9.7 million comparable to March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This liability is re-measured annually on
December 31
st
based on an actuarial calculation of our pension liability. Significant assumptions used in calculating the liability
include the weighted average discount rate used to measure the present value of the pension liability, the weighted average expected
long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation increases, all of which will vary when
re-measured. The discount rate assumption used to calculate the pension liability is subject to long-term corporate bond rates at
December 31
st
. These assumptions and sensitivities are discussed in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”
in Part II, Item7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our 2024 Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At June 30, 2025, we had $672.3 million in commitments to extend credit and $7.4 million in standby letters of credit. Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a client to a
third party. We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-balance sheet
instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going obligations. In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current liquidity, advances available from the FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded.
We
have recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the Bank, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
and totaled $1.7 million at June 30, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) goodwill, (iii) pension assumptions, and (iv) income taxes as
our most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and
they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described
throughout this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
