For purposes of the above tables, changes which are due to both rate and volume are allocated based on a percentage basis, using the absolute values of rate and volume variance as a basis for percentages. Income is stated at a fully taxable equivalent basis, using a 24.95% tax rate.

Net interest income for the quarter of $60.9 million was $2.1 million, or 3.6%, above prior quarter and $6.8 million, or 12.7%, above prior year same quarter, as our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased 1 basis point from prior quarter and 16 basis points from prior year same quarter. Our quarterly average earning assets increased $137.2 million, an annualized 2.2%, from prior quarter and $481.4 million, or 8.0%, from prior year same quarter. Our yield on average earning assets increased 3 basis points from prior quarter but decreased 8 basis points from prior year same quarter, while our cost of funds increased 3 basis points from prior quarter but decreased 36 basis points from prior year same quarter. Our ratio of average loans to deposits, including repurchase agreements, for the quarter remained at 87.2% from prior quarter compared to 86.6% for same quarter prior year. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 at $119.7 million was $14.4 million, or 13.6%, above same period prior year.

Provision for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses at $2.8 million for the quarter increased $0.5 million from prior quarter and $0.7 million from prior year same quarter. Of the provision for the quarter, $2.6 million was attributable to the allowance for credit losses, with an additional expense of $174 thousand recognized in the provision for unfunded commitments. Provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 at $5.1 million was $0.6 million below same period prior year.

Noninterest Income

($ in thousands)

Noninterest income for the quarter of $17.6 million was $2.2 million, or 14.2%, above prior quarter and $1.4 million, or 8.8%, above prior year same quarter. The variance quarter over quarter was primarily the result of increases in net securities gains ($1.4 million), deposit related fees ($0.5 million), and trust and wealth management income ($0.3 million). Year over year increases for the quarter included net securities gains ($0.8 million), deposit related fees ($0.3 million), and trust and wealth management income ($0.6 million). The variances in securities gains resulted primarily from changes in the valuation of our equity securities, as we converted a portion of Visa Class B stock to Class C. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $33.0 million was $1.9 million, or 6.3%, above prior year same period.

Noninterest Expense

($ in thousands)

Noninterest expense for the quarter of $37.4 million was $0.8 million, or 2.3%, above prior quarter and $1.7 million, or 4.8%, above prior year same quarter. The quarter over quarter increase primarily resulted from an increase in salaries ($0.3 million) and employee benefits ($0.8 million), partially offset by a decrease in net occupancy and equipment expense ($0.3 million). The increase in employee benefits included increases in bonuses and incentives ($0.2 million) and the cost of group medical and life insurance expense ($0.8 million). The year over year increase for the quarter primarily resulted from increases in salaries ($0.3 million) and employee benefits ($1.3 million), including an increase in the cost of group medical and life insurance expense ($2.0 million) partially offset by a decrease in bonuses and incentives ($0.5 million). Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $73.9 million was $4.0 million, or 5.8%, above prior year same period.

Balance Sheet Review

CTBI’s total assets at $7.0 billion increased $248.2 million, or 14.8% annualized, for the quarter and $305.2 million, or 9.2% annualized, from December 31, 2025. Loans outstanding at $5.1 billion increased $134.1 million, an annualized 10.8%, for the quarter and $230.0 million, or 9.5% annualized, from December 31, 2025. The increase in loans for the quarter included a $57.4 million increase in the commercial loan portfolio, a $47.5 million increase in the residential loan portfolio, a $29.1 million increase in the consumer indirect loan portfolio, and a $0.1 million increase in the consumer direct loan portfolio. CTBI’s investment portfolio at $1.1 billion decreased $35.6 million, an annualized 13.1%, for the quarter and $69.0 million, or 12.4% annualized, from December 31, 2025 as management allocated investment maturities into the loan portfolio. Deposits in other banks increased $183.4 million for the quarter and $149.7 million from December 31, 2025.

Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $6.0 billion increased $221.9 million, an annualized 15.5%, for the quarter and $257.0 million, or 9.1% annualized, from December 31, 2025. CTBI is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers for their source of deposits. As of June 30, 2026, two customers accounted for over 3% each (3.5% and 3.1%) of our $5.7 billion in deposits. Only these two customer relationships accounted for more than 1% each of our deposits.

Shareholders’ equity at $891.8 million increased $20.6 million, an annualized 9.5%, for the quarter and $35.8 million, or 8.4% annualized, from December 31, 2025. Net unrealized losses on securities, net of deferred taxes, were $68.4 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $68.0 million at March 31, 2026 and $64.8 million at December 31, 2025.

Asset Quality

Our total nonperforming loans at $29.7 million at June 30, 2026 increased $9.0 million for the quarter and $10.6 million from December 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans at $10.8 million decreased $0.3 million from prior quarter but increased $2.3 million from December 31, 2025. Accruing loans 90+ days past due at $19.0 million increased $9.4 million from prior quarter and $8.3 million from December 31, 2025, as a well secured $8.7 million commercial relationship in the process of collection moved from the 30-89 days past due category during the quarter. Accruing loans 30-89 days past due at $20.3 million decreased $4.5 million from prior quarter but increased $0.1 million from December 31, 2025. Our loan portfolio risk management processes include weekly delinquent loan review meetings at the market levels and monthly delinquent loan review meetings involving senior corporate management to review all nonaccrual loans and loans 30 days or more past due. Any activity regarding a criticized/classified loan (i.e. problem loan) must be approved by CTB’s Watch List Asset Committee (i.e. Problem Loan Committee). CTB’s Watch List Asset Committee also meets on a quarterly basis and reviews every criticized/classified loan of $100,000 or greater. CTB’s Loan Portfolio Risk Management Committee also meets quarterly focusing on the overall asset quality and risk metrics of the loan portfolio. We also have a Loan Review Department that reviews every market within CTB annually and performs extensive testing of the loan portfolio to assure the accuracy of loan grades and classifications for delinquency, loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, nonaccrual status, and adequate loan loss reserves. The Loan Review Department has annually reviewed on average 97% of the outstanding commercial loan portfolio for the past three years. The average annual review percentage of the consumer and residential loan portfolio for the past three years was 82% based on the loan production during the number of months included in the review scope. The review scope is generally four to six months of production. CTBI generally does not offer high risk loans such as option ARM products, high loan to value ratio mortgages, interest-only loans, loans with initial teaser rates, or loans with negative amortizations, and therefore, CTBI would have no significant exposure to these products. For further information regarding nonperforming loans, see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

We had net loan charge-offs of $0.9 million, an annualized 0.07% of average loans, for the quarter compared to $1.3 million, an annualized 0.11% of average loans, for prior quarter and $1.4 million, an annualized 0.12% of average loans, for the second quarter 2025. Of the net charge-offs for the quarter, $0.2 million were in commercial loans, $0.5 million were in consumer indirect loans, and $0.2 million were in consumer direct loans. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $2.2 million, or an annualized 0.09% of average loans, compared to $2.9 million, or an annualized 0.13% of average loans, for the same period prior year.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our reserve coverage (allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans) at June 30, 2026 was 211.8% compared to 314.0% at December 31, 2025 and 237.1% at June 30, 2025. Nonaccrual loans to totals loans were 0.2% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans were 583.7% at June 30, 2026 compared to 704.6% at December 31, 2025. Our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2026 remained at 1.23% from December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The table below shows the changes in components of the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2026:

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein for additional information regarding our allowance for credit losses.

Dividends

On July 28, 2026, the Board of Directors of CTBI declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share beginning with the October 1, 2026 payment to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026. This represents an increase of 22.6% in the quarterly cash dividend. In addition to the quarterly cash dividend, the Board approved a one-time cash dividend payment of $0.06 per share to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026, also to be paid on October 1, 2026.

The following schedule shows the quarterly cash dividends paid for the past six quarters:

Liquidity and Market Risk

The objective of CTBI’s Asset/Liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within our policy limits. This objective is accomplished through management of our consolidated balance sheet composition, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates, and customer preferences. The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan and lease demand or deposit withdrawals. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, sufficient unused borrowing capacity, and growth in core deposits. As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $514.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $113.0 million in unpledged securities valued at estimated fair value designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis compared to $363.7 million and $174.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. Additional asset-driven liquidity is provided by the remainder of the securities portfolio and the repayment of loans. In addition to core deposit funding, we also have a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources available. We also rely on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of our asset/liability position. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $0.3 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had a $543.9 million available borrowing position with the Federal Home Loan Bank, compared to $546.9 million at December 31, 2025. We generally rely upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for our investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased, and issuance of long-term debt. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $50 million in lines of credit with various correspondent banks available to meet any future cash needs. Our primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations. We do not rely on any one source of liquidity and manage availability in response to changing consolidated balance sheet needs. Included in our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 were deposits with the Federal Reserve of $434.4 million, compared to $288.1 million at December 31, 2025. Additionally, we project cash flows from our investment portfolio to generate additional liquidity over the next 90 days.

The investment portfolio consists of investment grade short-term issues suitable for bank investments. The majority of the investment portfolio is in U.S. government and government sponsored agency issuances. At June 30, 2026, available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities comprised 99.6% of the total investment portfolio, and the AFS portfolio was 118% of equity capital. Ninety percent of the pledge-eligible portfolio was pledged.

Interest Rate Risk

We consider interest rate risk one of our most significant market risks. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of our net interest revenue is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk. We employ a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage our interest rate risk, including the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

CTBI’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which includes executive and senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. Our current exposure to interest rate risks is determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income spread evenly over the twelve-month period.

Capital Resources

We continue to grow our shareholders’ equity while also providing an annual dividend yield to shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of 2.93%. Shareholders’ equity increased 2.4% for the quarter and 4.2% from December 31, 2025. Our primary source of capital growth is the retention of earnings. Cash dividends were $1.06 per share for the first six months of 2026 compared to $0.94 per share for the first six months of 2025. We retained 66.3% of our earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 63.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Insured depository institutions are required to meet certain capital level requirements. Management elected to use the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework for CTBI and CTB. The CBLR is the ratio of a banking organization’s Tier 1 capital to its average total consolidated assets, both as reported on the banking organization’s applicable regulatory filings. A CBLR greater than 9% is considered to have met: (i) the risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the generally applicable capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements in order to be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework; and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements. CTBI’s CBLR ratio as of June 30, 2026 was 13.89%. CTB’s CBLR ratio as of June 30, 2026 was 13.43%.

As of June 30, 2026, we are not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Economic Conditions

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, CTBI differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.

We believe one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is our ability to react to changes in interest rates. We seek to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

Stock Repurchase Program

CTBI’s stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in each of July 2000, May 2003, and March 2020. As of June 30, 2026, a total of 2,465,294 shares have been repurchased through this program, leaving 1,034,706 shares remaining under our current repurchase authorization.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe the application of accounting policies and the estimates required therein are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are constantly reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting estimates to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have identified the following critical accounting estimate:

Allowance for Credit Losses – We disaggregate our portfolio loans into portfolio segments for purposes of determining the ACL. Our loan portfolio segments include commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer. We further disaggregate our portfolio segments into classes for purposes of monitoring and assessing credit quality based on certain risk characteristics. For an analysis of CTBI’s ACL by portfolio segment and credit quality information by class, refer to Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

The ACL is maintained at a level CTBI considers to be adequate and is based on ongoing quarterly assessments and evaluations of the collectability of loans, including historical credit loss experience, current and forecasted market and economic conditions, and consideration of various qualitative factors that, in management’s judgment, deserve consideration in estimating expected credit losses. Provisions for credit losses are recorded for the amounts necessary to adjust the ACL to CTBI’s current estimate of expected credit losses on portfolio loans. CTBI’s strategy for credit risk management includes a combination of conservative exposure limits significantly below legal lending limits and conservative underwriting, documentation, and collection standards. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on a geographic, industry, and customer level, regular credit examinations, and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality.

CTBI’s methodology for determining the ACL requires significant management judgment and includes an estimate of expected credit losses on a collective basis for groups of loans with similar risk characteristics and specific allowances for loans which are individually evaluated.

Larger commercial loans with balances exceeding $1 million that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses and (i) have a criticized risk rating, (ii) are on nonaccrual status, (iii) have a borrower experiencing financial difficulty with significant payment delay, or (iv) are 90 days or more past due, are individually evaluated for an ACL. CTBI considers the current value of collateral, credit quality of any guarantees, the guarantor’s liquidity and willingness to cooperate, the loan structure and other factors when determining the amount of the ACL. Other factors may include the borrower’s susceptibility to risks presented by the forecasted macroeconomic environment, the industry and geographic region of the borrower, size and financial condition of the borrower, cash flow and leverage of the borrower, and our evaluation of the borrower’s management. Significant management judgment is required when evaluating which of these factors are most relevant in individual circumstances, and when estimating the amount of expected credit losses based on those factors. When loans are individually evaluated, allowances are determined based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral and other sources of cash flow, as well as an evaluation of legal options available to CTBI. Allowances for individually evaluated loans that are collateral-dependent are typically measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less expected costs to sell where applicable. For collateral-dependent financial assets, the credit loss expected may be zero if the fair value less costs to sell exceeds the amortized cost of the loan. Loans shall not be included in both collective assessments and individual assessments. Individually evaluated loans that are not collateral-dependent are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Specific allowances on individually evaluated commercial loans, including loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience. Regardless of an initial measurement method, once it is determined that foreclosure is probable, the ACL is measured based on the fair value of the collateral as of the measurement date. As a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral may be used for a loan when determining the ACL for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The fair value shall be adjusted for selling costs when foreclosure is probable.

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for loans that are not individually evaluated. These include commercial loans that do not meet the criteria for individual evaluation as well as homogeneous loans in the residential mortgage and consumer portfolio segments. CTBI uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model for all loan segments. The primary reasons that contributed to this decision were: DCF models allow for the effective incorporation of a reasonable and supportable forecast in a directionally consistent and objective manner; the analysis aligns well with other calculations outside of the ACL estimation which will mitigate model risk in other areas; and peer data is available for certain inputs if first party data is not available or meaningful. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein for information on CTBI’s risk rating system.

CTBI’s expected credit loss models consider historical credit loss experience, peer data, current market and economic conditions, and forecasted changes in market and economic conditions if such forecasts are considered reasonable and supportable. Generally, CTBI considers our forecasts to be reasonable and supportable for a period of up to one year from the estimation date. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, expected credit losses are estimated by reverting to historical loss information on an input basis. CTBI reverts to a long-run average of the modeled economic factors over four quarters to derive a long-run average probability of default/loss given default. CTBI evaluates the length of our reasonable and supportable forecast period, our reversion period, and reversion methodology at least annually, or more often if warranted by economic conditions or other circumstances.

Other qualitative factors are used by CTBI in determining the ACL. These considerations inherently require significant management judgment to determine the appropriate factors to be considered and the extent of their impact on the ACL estimate. Qualitative factors are used to capture characteristics in the portfolio that impact expected credit losses but that are not fully captured within CTBI’s expected credit loss models. These include adjustments for changes in policies or procedures in underwriting, monitoring or collections, lending and risk management personnel, and results of internal audit and quality control reviews. These may also include adjustments, when deemed necessary, for specific idiosyncratic risks such as geopolitical events, natural disasters and their effects on regional borrowers, and changes in product structures. Qualitative factors may also be used to address the impacts of unforeseen events on key inputs and assumptions within CTBI’s expected credit loss models, such as the reasonable and supportable forecast period, changes to historical loss information, or changes to the reversion period or methodology.

Overall, the collective evaluation process requires significant management judgment when determining the estimation methodology and inputs into the models, as well as in evaluating the reasonableness of the modeled results and the appropriateness of qualitative adjustments. CTBI’s forecasts of market and economic conditions and the internal risk grades assigned to loans in the commercial portfolio segment are examples of inputs to the expected credit loss models that require significant management judgment. These inputs have the potential to drive significant variability in the resulting ACL.

The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated expected credit losses related to unfunded credit facilities and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based upon expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life of the commitments, taking into consideration the current funded balance and estimated exposure over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. This process takes into consideration the same risk elements that are analyzed in the determination of the adequacy of CTBI’s ACL, as previously discussed.

Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. CTBI uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates. Given a 200 basis point increase to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated net interest income for CTBI would increase by 2.91% over one year and 5.47% over two years. A 200 basis point decrease in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 2.39% over one year and 4.98% over two years.
