The new program of $100.0 million replaces the previous $50.0 million program in its entirety.
On January 27, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase to its quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly cash dividend will increase 3.2% to $0.32 per share of NBHC common stock.

As reported earlier this month, NBHC successfully completed its acquisition of Vista, with operations in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, and Lubbock, Texas, as well as Palm Beach, Florida. This acquisition further strengthens NBHC’s position as a premier regional bank and further increases our market share in high-growth markets including Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin and Palm Beach. Integrating NBHC’s product capabilities with the strength of Vista Bank’s relationship-banking model further enhances NBHC’s long-term growth strategy.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
(All comparisons refer to the third quarter of 2025, except as noted)
Net income totaled $16.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $35.3 million or $0.92 per diluted share. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $30.2 million, compared to $43.6 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 0.73%, compared to 1.54%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 6.58%, compared to 14.21%. Adjusting for $5.4 million of pre-tax acquisition-related expenses and $3.3 million of pre-tax loss on security sales, net income totaled $22.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share. Adjusted, the fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $39.0 million. The adjusted return on average tangible assets totaled 1.02%, and the adjusted return on average tangible common equity was 9.10%.
Net Interest Income
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $88.3 million, compared to $90.2 million. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin totaled 3.89%, compared to 3.98%, driven by a 26 basis point decrease in earning asset yields as variable rate loans repriced ahead of the Federal Reserve rate cuts. The Company’s disciplined deposit pricing improved the cost of funds 17 basis points.
Loans
Loans totaled $7.4 billion at December 31, 2025, consistent with the linked quarter. We expanded quarterly loan fundings to $591.0 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $429.0 million. The fourth quarter’s weighted average rate on new loans at the time of origination was 6.4%, compared to a weighted average yield of 6.2% on the loan portfolio.
Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company maintains strong credit quality and takes a proactive approach to monitoring credit. As a result of credit actions taken during the fourth quarter, the Company recorded provision expense of $9.1 million. This quarter’s provision expense was driven by specific reserves and net charge-offs related to three credits. This year’s net charge-offs totaled 0.34% of average total loans, compared to 0.13% in the prior year. Compared to the prior quarter, non-performing loans improved two basis points to 0.34% of total loans at December 31, 2025, and non-performing assets improved one basis point to 0.36% of total loans and OREO at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.18% at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.19% at September 30, 2025. The Company has a history of maintaining strong credit quality and during 2025, lowered its non-performing assets ratio, criticized loan levels, and past due loans.
Deposits
The Company maintains a low cost, diversified deposit franchise. Average total deposits remained consistent with the prior quarter at $8.2 billion, and average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) totaled $7.0 billion, compared to $7.1 billion in the previous quarter. The cost of funds improved 17 basis points to 1.93%. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 89.6% at December 31, 2025, compared to 87.7%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 86% at December 31, 2025, consistent with the prior quarter.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $14.4 million, compared to $20.7 million. Excluding the loss on security sales during the fourth quarter, non-interest income totaled $17.8 million. The linked quarter decrease was primarily driven by other non-interest income which included $3.6 million unrealized gains on partnership investments recorded in the third quarter, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in bank owned life insurance income in the fourth quarter.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $72.4 million, compared to $67.2 million in the third quarter, primarily driven by increased expenses from the Vista acquisition. Included in both the current and linked quarters were acquisition-related expenses of $5.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, primarily within professional fees. Adjusting for the acquisition-related expenses, the fourth quarter non-interest expense totaled $67.0 million, compared to $65.5 million in the third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by $0.8 million higher 2UniFi capitalized asset depreciation due to the timing of the 2UniFi launch and higher problem loan expense during the fourth quarter.
Income tax expense totaled $3.1 million, compared to $7.9 million in the previous quarter, driven by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 16.0%, compared to 18.2%.
Capital
NBHC executed $2.1 million of share buybacks in the fourth quarter as part of its ongoing capital strategy for a total of $15.2 million completed in 2025. Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 11.56%, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased 169 basis points to 14.89% at December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity increased $80.0 million to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, primarily driven by $63.6 million of growth in retained earnings from net income after covering the year’s dividends, and a $26.0 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the interest rate environment.
Common book value per share increased $2.38 to $36.67 at December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. Tangible common book value per share increased $2.52, or 10.0%, to $27.80, compared to December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the year’s earnings.
Year-Over-Year Review
(All comparisons refer to the full year 2024, except as noted)
Net income totaled $109.6 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, compared to $118.8 million, or $3.08 per diluted share. Adjusting for acquisition-related expenses and the loss on security sales, net income totaled $117.6 million, or $3.06 per diluted share. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $0.2 million to $159.3 million. Adjusted, the fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $4.1 million, or 2.5%, to $169.8 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.22%, compared to 1.30%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 11.36%, compared to 13.65%. Adjusted, the return on average tangible assets totaled 1.30%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 12.15%.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $3.9 million to $356.4 million due to disciplined loan and deposit pricing driving net interest margin expansion. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin expanded nine basis points to 3.94%, driven by a 22 basis point improvement in the cost of funds, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in earning asset yields. Average earning assets totaled $9.1 billion, compared to $9.2 billion.
Loans outstanding totaled $7.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, compared to $7.8 billion. New loan fundings over the trailing twelve months totaled $1.6 billion, led by commercial fundings of $1.1 billion.
The Company continued to prudently manage credit risk in 2025, further strengthening our credit profile through proactive monitoring of credit. The Company recorded $17.8 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to $6.8 million in the prior year. Net charge-offs totaled 0.34% of average total loans, compared to 0.13% in the prior year. Non-performing loans improved 12 basis points to 0.34% of total loans at December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, and non-performing assets improved 11 basis points to 0.36% of total loans and OREO at December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.18% at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2024.
Average deposits totaled $8.2 billion, compared to $8.3 billion in the prior year, and average transaction deposits totaled $7.1 billion, compared to $7.3 billion in the prior year. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 86.1% at December 31, 2025, compared to 87.6%.
Non-interest income increased $6.3 million, or 10.3%, to $67.6 million. The Company executed strategic balance sheet actions in both 2025 and 2024, which resulted in security sale losses of $3.3 million and $6.6 million, in the respective periods. Excluding these items, non-interest income increased $3.1 million primarily driven by $3.9 million of unrealized gains on partnership investments, a $0.9 million increase in gains on sales of previously consolidated banking center properties, and a $0.8 million increase in trust income. These increases were partially offset by decreases in SBA loan sale gains and swap fee income.
Non-interest expense totaled $264.6 million, which included $7.2 million of expenses from the Vista acquisition, compared to non-interest expense of $254.6 million in the prior year. Excluding the acquisition-related expenses, which are primarily professional fees, the current year non-interest expense totaled $257.5 million. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $5.9 million primarily driven by the 2UniFi capitalized asset depreciation in connection with the launch of 2UniFi in the third quarter of 2025. This increase was partially offset by a $4.1 million improvement in other non-interest expense resulting from diligent expense management. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 62.42%, compared to 61.54%. Excluding other intangible assets amortization and adjusted for acquisition related expenses and the loss on security sales, the fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio improved 26 basis points to 58.43% compared to the prior year.
Income tax expense totaled $24.1 million, compared to $26.4 million in the prior year, and the effective tax rate was 18.0%, compared to 18.2% in the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures and ratios we present are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
