NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist users of the financial information in assessing the Company's operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the following table.
The Company presents net income per common share and net income applicable to common shares, adjusted for certain notable items. These items include merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, pension plan gain/loss, realized debt securities gains/losses, distribution of excess pension assets expense, FDIC special assessment expense, and CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense. Management believes excluding these items from net income per common share and net income applicable to common shares may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these items do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding merger-related charges from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
The taxable equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as users of the financial information, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of AOCI in shareholders' equity.
Although intended to enhance understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the previously provided tables and the following reconciliations in the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.
The following table presents GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for the previous five quarters:

Results for the second quarter of 2026 were impacted by $12.1 million of merger-related expenses and a $13.2 million pre-tax gain associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan. Excluding these items and realized debt securities gains, net income applicable to common shares for the third quarter of 2026 was $249.7 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share on an adjusted basis1, compared to $250.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share on an adjusted basis1, for the second quarter of 2026.
Our results for the third quarter of 2026 reflect growth in total loans and deposits, disciplined expense management, and strong credit quality and capital.
Deposits: Period-end total deposits increased $1.5 billion, or 11% annualized, to $57.6 billion at September 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2026.
Loans: Our loan balances, excluding loans held-for-sale, increased $375.5 million, or 3% annualized, to $51.1 billion at September 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2026 reflecting high quality commercial loan production.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $5.3 million to $584.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2026 driven by high quality loan and deposit growth, partly offset by core deposit pricing and funding mix.
Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses was $33.6 million compared to $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2026.
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income was $128.4 million, or $127.5 million excluding a $0.9 million pre-tax gain associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan, compared to $153.6 million, or $140.4 million excluding a $13.2 million pre-tax gain associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan in the second quarter of 2026. Bank and wealth fees remained resilient as other income normalized from elevated levels in the second quarter of 2026 due to market value adjustments, higher company-owned life insurance income, and an asset recovery.
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense decreased $16.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2026. In the third quarter of 2026, noninterest expense included $0.7 million of merger-related expenses. In the second quarter of 2026, noninterest expense included $12.1 million of merger-related expenses. Excluding these expenses, noninterest expense was $354.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $5.4 million from $360.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 reflecting disciplined expense management.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, comprising 81% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of earning assets, funding sources, and interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include the level of accretion income on purchased loans, prepayment risk on mortgage and investment-related assets, and the composition and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The Federal Reserve increased interest rates during the third quarter of 2026, but interest rates remained lower compared to those in effect as of September 30, 2025. The Federal Reserve's Federal Funds Rate is currently in a target range of 3.75% to 4.00%, with the Effective Federal Funds Rate of 3.88% at September 30, 2026 compared to 4.09% at September 30, 2025. Management actively takes balance sheet restructuring, derivative, and deposit pricing actions to help mitigate interest rate risk. See the section of this Item 7 titled "Market Risk" for additional information regarding this risk.
Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from client deposits generally costs less than wholesale funding sources. Factors such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and price volatility of competing alternative investments can also exert significant influence on our ability to optimize our mix of assets and funding, net interest income, and net interest margin.
Net interest income is the excess of interest received from interest-earning assets over interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For analytical purposes, net interest income is presented in the table that follows, adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis to reflect what our tax-exempt assets would need to yield in order to achieve the same after-tax yield as a taxable asset. We used the current federal statutory tax rate in effect of 21% for all periods. This analysis portrays the income tax benefits related to tax-exempt assets and helps to facilitate a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes for both management and investors.
The following tables present the average balance sheet for each major asset and liability category, its related interest income and yield, or its expense and rate.

(1)The variance not solely due to rate or volume is allocated equally between the rate and volume variances.
(2)Interest income on investment securities includes taxable equivalent adjustments of $2.4 million and $7.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $2.6 million and $7.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively; using the federal statutory rate in effect of 21%.
(3)Interest income on loans includes taxable equivalent adjustments of $5.3 million and $15.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $5.4 million and $12.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively; using the federal statutory rate in effect of 21%.
The increase in net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 was driven by strong loan growth and core deposit pricing, partly offset by deposit growth and funding mix. In addition, the comparison between the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the same period in 2025 was impacted by the acquisition of Bremer.
The decrease in net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to deposit growth and lower yields on loans, partly offset by loan growth and core deposit pricing. The increase in net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to the impact of Bremer, loan growth, and lower core deposit pricing, partly offset by deposit growth and lower yields on loans. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 29 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same quarter a year ago. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 14 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 23 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period a year ago.
Average earning assets increased $3.3 billion and $9.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 reflecting strong loan growth. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was impacted by the acquisition of Bremer loans and securities acquired.
Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased $2.9 billion and $7.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 reflecting strong commercial and commercial real estate loan growth. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 also reflected Bremer loans acquired.
Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $105.8 million while average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025 reflecting organic growth. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.7 billion while average interest-bearing deposits increased $5.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025 reflecting Bremer deposits assumed and organic growth.

Total provision for credit losses on loans increased in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to loan growth and higher net charge-offs. Total provision for credit losses on loans decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to $75.6 million to establish an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD Bremer loans and unfunded loan commitments acquired in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partly offset by loan growth. Continued loan growth in future periods, a decline in our current level of recoveries, or an increase in charge-offs could result in an increase in provision expense. Additionally, provision expense may be volatile due to changes in CECL model assumptions of credit quality, macroeconomic factors and conditions, and loan composition, which drive the allowance for credit losses balance.
Noninterest Income
We generate revenues in the form of noninterest income through client fees, sales commissions, and gains and losses from our core banking franchise and other related businesses, such as wealth management, investment consulting, and investment products.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 included a $0.9 million gain in other income associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan. Strong year-over-year growth in fee-based businesses
was partly offset by lower mortgage banking and capital markets volumes. In addition, other income was elevated for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included a $14.1 million gain in other income associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included a $21.0 million gain in other income associated with the freezing of benefits of the Bremer pension plan. Excluding these gains, noninterest income increased $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 driven by the acquisition of Bremer in May 2025, as well as organic growth of fee-based businesses.

Noninterest expense included $0.7 million and $69.3 million of merger-related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding these expenses, noninterest expense decreased to $354.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $376.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was driven primarily by disciplined expense management.
Noninterest expense included $20.1 million and $116.3 million of merger-related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 also included a $3.4 million non-cash, pre-tax expense associated with the distribution of excess pension assets with the resolution of the legacy First Midwest plan. Excluding these expenses, noninterest expense increased to $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $982.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was driven primarily by operating costs and additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of Bremer.
Amortization of tax credit investments increased $1.1 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to additional amortization related to the Bremer acquisition. In addition, the recognition of tax credit amortization expense is contingent upon the successful completion of the rehabilitation of a historic building or completion of a solar project within the reporting period. Many factors including weather, labor availability, building regulations, inspections, and other unexpected construction delays related to a rehabilitation project can cause a project to exceed its estimated completion date. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on our tax credit investments.
Provision for Income Taxes
We record a provision for income taxes currently payable and for income taxes payable or benefits to be received in the future, which arise due to timing differences in the recognition of certain items for financial statement and income tax purposes. The major difference between the effective tax rate applied to our financial statement income and the federal statutory tax rate is caused by a tax benefit from our tax credit investments and interest on tax-exempt securities and loans. The effective tax rate was 21.6% and 21.4% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 21.5% and 20.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 reflected an increase in state income taxes. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. In accordance with ASC 740-270, Accounting for Interim Reporting, the provision for income taxes was recorded at September 30, 2026 based on the current estimate of the effective annual rate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
At September 30, 2026, our assets were $74.4 billion, a $2.3 billion increase compared to assets of $72.2 billion at December 31, 2025, reflective of strong loan growth.
Earning Assets
Our earning assets are comprised of investment securities, portfolio loans, loans held-for-sale, money market investments, interest-earning accounts with the Federal Reserve, and equity securities. Earning assets were $67.1 billion at September 30, 2026, a $2.2 billion increase compared to earning assets of $65.0 billion at December 31, 2025.
Investment Securities
We classify the majority of our investment securities as available-for-sale to give management the flexibility to sell the securities prior to maturity based on fluctuating interest rates or changes in our funding requirements.
The investment securities portfolio, including equity securities, was $14.8 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $14.9 billion at December 31, 2025. Investment securities represented 22% of earning assets at September 30, 2026, compared to 23% at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, we had no intent to sell any securities that were in an unrealized loss position nor is it expected that we would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.
The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio had net unrealized losses of $1.1 billion and $570.4 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio had net unrealized losses of $559.0 million and $355.3 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Net unrealized losses in both portfolios increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflecting the impact of higher rates.
The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio including securities hedges had an effective duration of 4.65 at September 30, 2026, compared to 3.80 at December 31, 2025. The total investment securities portfolio had an effective duration of 5.15 at September 30, 2026, compared to 4.51 at December 31, 2025. Effective duration represents the percentage change in the fair value of the portfolio in response to a change in interest rates and is used to evaluate the portfolio's price volatility at a single point in time. Generally, there is more uncertainty in interest rates over a longer average maturity, resulting in a higher duration percentage. The weighted average yields on investment securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, were 4.19% and 4.12% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 4.24% and 3.99% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
Loan Portfolio
We lend to consumer and commercial clients in many diverse industries including real estate rental and leasing, manufacturing, healthcare, wholesale trade, construction, and agriculture, among others. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, client relationship, and loan size. The following table presents the composition of the loan portfolio:

Geographic location in the preceding table is determined by collateral location for real estate loans and borrower location for non-real estate loans.
Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial and commercial real estate loans are the largest classifications within earning assets, representing 58% at September 30, 2026, compared to 57% at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, commercial and commercial real estate loans were $39.0 billion, an increase of $1.9 billion from December 31, 2025 driven primarily by disciplined commercial loan production.

The mix of properties securing the loans in our commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied categories and is diverse in terms of type and geographic location, generally within the
Company's primary market area. Approximately 27% of the commercial real estate portfolio is owner-occupied at September 30, 2026, compared to 29% at December 31, 2025.
The Company actively reviews its broader loan portfolio in the normal course of business and has performed a targeted review of contractual maturities in its non-owner-occupied commercial real estate portfolio as part of its response to current market conditions to identify exposure to credit risk associated with renewals. At September 30, 2026, the Company held $540.1 million of non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, or 1% of total loans, that mature within 18 months with an interest rate below 4%.
Residential Real Estate Loans
At September 30, 2026, residential real estate loans held in our loan portfolio were $8.8 billion, an increase of $303.0 million compared to December 31, 2025. Changes in interest rates may impact the number of refinancings and new originations of residential real estate loans. If interest rates decrease in the future, there may be an increase in refinancings and new originations of residential real estate loans. Conversely, future increases in interest rates may result in a decline in the level of refinancings and new originations of residential real estate loans.
Consumer Loans
Consumer loans, including automobile loans, personal, and home equity loans and lines of credit, increased $161.5 million to $3.4 billion at September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.

Total funding $ 64,773,338 $ 62,539,562 $ 2,233,776 3.6 %
The increase in total deposits was due to organic growth. We use wholesale funding to augment deposit funding and to help maintain our desired interest rate risk position. Wholesale funding as a percentage of total funding was 11% at September 30, 2026, compared to 12% at December 31, 2025. The increase in other borrowings was due to the issuance and sale of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes in January 2026. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes.
Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2026 increased $237.8 million compared to December 31, 2025 primarily due to higher derivative liabilities.
Capital
Shareholders' equity totaled $8.3 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $8.5 billion at December 31, 2025. Retained earnings were offset by changes in unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities that decreased equity by $423.5 million, the repurchase of 12.2 million shares of Common Stock under share repurchase plans that were approved by the Company's Board of Directors, which reduced equity by $301.6 million, and
dividends totaling $179.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, Old National had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $176.6 million of its outstanding Common Stock through February 28, 2027.
Capital Adequacy
Old National and the banking industry are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. At September 30, 2026, Old National and its bank subsidiary exceeded the regulatory minimums, and Old National Bank met the regulatory definition of "well-capitalized" based on the most recent regulatory definition.

Management views stress testing as an integral part of the Company's risk management and strategic planning activities. Old National performs stress testing periodically throughout the year. The primary objective of the stress testing is to ensure that Old National has a robust, forward-looking stress testing process and maintains sufficient capital to continue operations throughout times of economic and financial stress. Management also uses the stress testing framework to evaluate decisions relating to pricing, loan concentrations, capital deployment, and mergers and acquisitions to ensure that strategic decisions align with Old National's risk appetite statement. Old National's stress testing process incorporates key risks that include strategic, market, liquidity, credit, operational, information security and technology, talent management, and compliance/regulatory/legal risks. Old National's stress testing policy outlines steps that will be taken if stress test results do not meet internal thresholds under severely adverse economic scenarios.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
Old National has adopted a Risk Appetite Statement to enable our Board of Directors, Enterprise Risk Committee of our Board, Executive Leadership Team, and Senior Management to better assess, understand, monitor, and mitigate Old National's risks. The Risk Appetite Statement addresses the following major risks: strategic, market, liquidity, credit, operational, information security and technology, talent management, and regulatory/legal/compliance. Our Chief Risk Officer provides quarterly reports to the Board's Enterprise Risk Committee on various risk topics. The
following discussion addresses certain of these major risks including credit, market, and liquidity. Discussion of strategic, talent management, operational, information security and technology, and regulatory/legal/compliance risks is provided in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk of loss arising from an obligor's inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Our primary credit risks result from our investment and lending activities.
Asset Quality
We lend to consumer and commercial clients in many diverse industries including, among others, real estate rental and leasing, manufacturing, healthcare, wholesale trade, construction, and agriculture. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, client relationship, and loan size. At September 30, 2026, our average commercial loan size was approximately $969,000 and our average commercial real estate loan size was approximately $1,731,000. At September 30, 2026, we had minimal exposure to foreign borrowers and no sovereign debt.

Credit quality within the loans held for investment portfolio is continuously monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company's loans held for investment portfolio. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in our process for estimating expected credit losses. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancelable off-balance-sheet credit exposures (unfunded loan commitments) is accounted for as a separate liability included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment and unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The allowance for credit loss estimation process involves procedures to consider the unique characteristics of our loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes based on the level at which credit risk of the loan is monitored. When computing the level of expected credit losses, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods.
The allowance level is influenced by loan volumes, loan AQR migration or delinquency status, changes in historical loss experience, and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses on loans has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company completed a recalibration of its estimated credit loss models, incorporating additional loan performance history, enhancements to the expected cash flows assumptions, and multiple forward-looking economic forecasts, which did not have a material impact on the overall allowance for loan loss coverage or the related significant accounting policy.
The allowance for credit losses on loans was $579.7 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $569.5 million at December 31, 2025. Continued loan growth in future periods, a decline in our current level of recoveries, or an increase in charge-offs could result in an increase in provision expense. Additionally, provision expense may be volatile due to changes in CECL model assumptions of credit quality, macroeconomic factors and conditions, and loan composition, which drive the allowance for credit losses balance.
We maintain an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for unfunded loan commitments is included in the provision for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments totaled $31.9 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $35.6 million at December 31, 2025.
See the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our credit risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the estimated fair value of our assets, liabilities, and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that our net income will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes.
The objective of our interest rate management process is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity.
Potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our normal business activities of gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, client preferences, historical pricing relationships, and re-pricing characteristics of financial instruments. Our earnings can also be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.
In managing interest rate risk, we establish guidelines for asset and liability management, including measurement of short and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates, which are reviewed with the Enterprise Risk Committee of our Board of Directors. Based on the results of our analysis, we may use different techniques to manage changing trends in interest rates including:
•adjusting balance sheet mix or altering interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities;
•changing product pricing strategies;
•modifying characteristics of the investment securities portfolio; or
•using derivative financial instruments, to a limited degree.
A key element in our ongoing process is to measure and monitor interest rate risk using a model to quantify the likely impact of changing interest rates on Old National's results of operations. The model quantifies the effects of various possible interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income. The model measures the impact on net interest income relative to a base case scenario over a two-year cumulative horizon resulting from an immediate change in interest rates using multiple rate scenarios. The base case scenario assumes that the balance sheet and interest rates are held at current levels. The model shows our projected net interest income sensitivity based on interest rate changes only and does not consider other forecast assumptions. The net interest income projections across all interest rate scenarios include the expected impact of purchase accounting accretion due to recent acquisitions. Due to the dynamics of future interest rate expectations, we also measure and monitor interest rate risk using the forward curve, which may be a more probable scenario of our interest rate exposure. The forward curve represents the relationship between the price of forward contracts and the time to maturity of the forward contracts at a point in time.

Our projected net interest income increased year over year driven by the Bremer acquisition, loan growth, and asset repricing due to current interest rates and economic conditions. Our overall strategy is consistent period over period, as we continue to manage our balance sheet toward a neutral interest rate risk position in a disciplined manner.
A key element in the measurement and modeling of interest rate risk is the re-pricing assumptions of our transaction deposit accounts, which align with our approach to deposit pricing and are consistent period over period. Because the models are driven by expected behavior in various interest rate scenarios and many factors besides market interest rates affect our net interest income, we recognize that model outputs are not guarantees of actual results. For this reason, we model many different combinations of interest rates and balance sheet assumptions to understand our overall sensitivity to market interest rate changes, including shocks, ramps, yield curve flattening, yield curve steepening, as well as forecasts of likely interest rate scenarios tested.
We use cash flow and fair value hedges, primarily interest rate swaps, collars, and floors, to mitigate interest rate risk. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments were in a net liability position with a fair value loss of $74.7 million at September 30, 2026, compared to a net asset position with a fair value gain of $14.8 million at December 31, 2025. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. We establish liquidity risk guidelines that we review with the Enterprise Risk Committee of our Board of Directors and monitor through our Asset/Liability Executive Management Committee. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability to fund balance sheet growth and meet deposit and debt obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of asset and liability maturities, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts. We maintain strategic and contingency liquidity plans to ensure sufficient available funding to satisfy requirements for balance sheet growth, to properly manage capital markets' funding sources, and to address unexpected liquidity requirements. On May 28, 2026, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC that permits us to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities.
Loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities are not as predictable as they are strongly influenced by interest rates, events at other banking organizations, the housing market, general and local economic conditions, competition in the marketplace, and other factors. We continually monitor marketplace trends to identify patterns that might improve the predictability of the timing of deposit flows or asset prepayments.

Old National Bancorp has routine funding requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses, dividends to shareholders, debt service, net derivative cash flows, and funds used for acquisitions. Old National Bancorp can obtain funding to meet its obligations from dividends and management fees collected from its subsidiaries, operating line of credit, and through the issuance of debt securities. Additionally, Old National Bancorp has a shelf registration in place with the SEC permitting ready access to the public debt and equity markets. At September 30, 2026, Old National Bancorp's other borrowings outstanding were $648.3 million. Management believes the Company has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short-term and the long-term.
Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by Old National Bank to Old National Bancorp on an unconsolidated basis without obtaining prior regulatory approval. Prior regulatory approval is required if dividends to be declared in any year would exceed net earnings of the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years. Prior regulatory approval to pay dividends was not required in 2025 and is not currently required.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our most significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain of these accounting policies require management to use significant judgment and estimates, which can have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these policies to be our critical accounting estimates. The judgment and assumptions made are based upon historical experience, future forecasts, or other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgment and assumptions, actual results could differ from estimates, which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
For additional information regarding critical accounting estimates, see the section titled "Critical Accounting Estimates" included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company's application of critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2025.
