"We entered 2026 with strong momentum coming off the best year in the Company's history, and our first quarter operating results reflect that," commented James Hillebrand, chairman and CEO. "Loan growth stood out in terms of both volume and credit quality, and that combination of growth and discipline continues to be a core focus for our team. Our Central Kentucky market crossed the $1 billion threshold for total loans this quarter, demonstrating our ability to enter new markets and replicate the full-service, community banking business model that has been the staple of our success. After entering this market through acquisition in 2021, Central Kentucky has continued to contribute to the growth we've experienced not only within the loan portfolio, but across our entire business. Equally noteworthy was the performance across our non-interest income categories. Our WM&T division delivered record revenue during the first quarter, while card income and treasury management fees continue to provide meaningful contributions, further solidifying non-interest income as a significant driver of our results."
