Thanks, Lisa, and good morning, everybody. We executed well in the third quarter and saw positive trends in many areas, including loan growth, improving deposit mix, net interest margin expansion, trust and investment management fee growth, well-managed expenses, and improved asset quality. This resulted in another quarter of strong profitability. Pre-tax, pre-provision net income increased 15% in the third quarter, that's not annualized compared to the prior quarter, and 27% compared to the third quarter of 2025. We continue to maintain a conservative approach to new loan production with our disciplined underwriting and pricing criteria. The new banking talent over the past several years and increasingly over the past few months and our healthy economic activity across our markets fueled strong loan production that was diversified across markets, industries, and loan categories. As a result, our financial performance and balance sheet management strategies we continued to grow tangible book value per share this quarter. Moving to slide four, we generated net income of about six million or 60 cents per diluted share in the third quarter, both of which were 88% higher respectively than the third quarter of 2025. With our prudent balance sheet management, our tangible book value per share increased by 3% this quarter to 26.2%. $26.28. Now I'll turn the call over to Julie for some additional discussion of our balance sheet and trust investment management trends. Julie?

Thank you, Scott. Turning to slide five, we'll look at the trends in our loan portfolio. Our loans held for investment increased $95 million from the end of the prior quarter, marking the sixth consecutive quarterly increase. On a year-over-year basis, total loans increased 8% We continue to be conservative and disciplined in our new loan production. However, the higher productivity of the bankers added over the last several quarters is driving an improvement in loan originations. New loan production was $163 million in the third quarter and was diversified across various markets and loan types with a focus on relationship-based lending. Additionally, we are attracting deposit relationships with these clients. We continue to be disciplined with respect to pricing, which resulted in the average rate on new production of 6.79% in the quarter, which was 42 basis points higher from the prior quarter and 53 basis points higher than the average rate of loan payoffs of 6.26% in the quarter. Quarter-end loans outstanding were almost 3% higher than average loan balances for the quarter, which is providing strong momentum going into the fourth quarter. Moving to slide six, we'll take a closer look at our deposit trends. Our total deposits increased 2.5% from the end of the prior quarter with growth in non-interest bearing and money market accounts. On a year over year basis, total deposits increased 2.4%. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased 14 million or 3.9% in the quarter and 10% using quarter imbalances. We remain focused on continuing to improve our deposit mix to drive further NIM expansion going forward. Now I'll turn the call over to David for some additional discussion of our balance sheet.

Thank you, Julie. Turning to slide eight, we'll look at our gross revenue. Our gross revenue increased 2.8% from the prior quarter. primarily due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income. Turning to slide nine, we'll look at the trends in net interest income and margin. Our net interest income increased 5.5% from the prior quarter due to an increase in net interest margin and an $81 million increase in average interest earning assets. Our NIM increased five basis points from the prior quarter to 2.95%. This was primarily due to an increase in yield on average interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds. The yield on interest earning assets increased seven basis points, driven by an increase in loan yields, while the cost of funds increased two basis points due to higher rates on money market accounts. Our net interest income increased 18% from the third quarter of 2025 due to a 41 basis point increase in NIM and higher average interest earning assets. Turning to slide 10, our non-interest income decreased by $600,000 from the prior quarter. This was primarily due to a decrease in net gain on sale of mortgage loans as origination volumes were negatively impacted by higher mortgage rates. and a decrease in bank fees partially offset by an increase in trust and investment management fees. Trust and investment management fees increased 2.6% from the prior quarter driven by increases in investment agency, trust and retirement fees. Now turning to slide 11 and our expenses. Our non-interest expense decreased $400,000 from the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in technology and information systems as well as salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in technology and information systems was primarily attributable to a $400,000 non-recurring charge that we recorded in the second quarter of 26. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily driven by lower employer payroll taxes. Our efficiency ratio improved to 72% compared to 74% last quarter and 76% in the third quarter of 2025 as we continue to tightly manage expenses while also making investments in the business that we believe will positively impact our long-term performance. Now turning to slide 12, we'll look at our asset quality. As Scott indicated earlier, we saw improved trends in the loan portfolio in the third quarter with a decrease in non-accrual loans driven by paydowns. Our non-performing asset ratio decreased to 39 basis points in the third quarter. Increased loan volume contributed to a provision of $600,000 during the third quarter of 2026. Our allowance coverage ratio was 74 basis points in the third quarter down from 75 basis points in the previous quarter. Now I will turn it back to Scott. Scott?

Thanks, David. Turning to slide 13, I'll wrap up with some comments about our outlook. Based on our third quarter performance and what we're seeing in our markets, we're encouraged and we expect further improvement of financial performance in the fourth quarter of the year. Overall, we continue to see relatively healthy economic conditions in our markets. We're seeing good opportunities to add new clients and banking talent. do the ongoing disruption from M&A activity in our markets. Our loan pipeline remains strong and should fuel solid loan growth going forward. We expect positive trends to continue across several key areas, including loan growth, deposit growth, deposit mix improvement, debt interest margin expansion, and increased activity in our wealth management business. Combined with a disciplined expense management, We believe continued revenue growth should drive even more positive operating leverage and further improve our financial performance. We had a net interest margin expansion of 26 basis points in 2025 and another 24 basis points in expansion so far in 2026. This will continue. We remain disciplined with expenses continuing to invest selectively in opportunities that can enhance long-term shareholder value. Continued M&A disruption in our market is creating attractive opportunities to add experienced banking talent and new client relationships, and we're well positioned to capitalize on those opportunities as they emerge. Based on the trends we're seeing in the portfolio and the feedback we're getting from our clients, We're not seeing anything to indicate that we'll experience any meaningful deterioration in asset quality through the rest of the year. With positive trends across several key areas in a business, we believe we're well positioned to deliver continued improvement in financial performance and create additional value for our shareholders. With that, we're happy to take your questions. Lateef, please open up the call.

As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star 11 on your telephone. To remove yourself from the queue, you may press star 11 again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question. Sorry, one moment. Our first question comes from the line of Hannah Wynn of KBW. Your line is open, Hannah.

Hi, good morning, guys. Morning, Hannah. I want to start on loan growth. I know you had talked on the call last quarter about expecting to see strong loan growth in the second half of the year. So it was great to see that 14% number this quarter. Just wondering if you could give us a sense of how pipelines are shaping up for the fourth quarter and into 2027. And curious if you think we could expect to see another double digit growth quarter to end the year.

Well, I'm always reluctant to say, well, this quarter is going to be this percent because it does bounce around a little bit. But there are definitely favorable trends that we've seen progressing through the year, which we expected. We said we were going to be investing in more talent in the first half of the year, and that would produce more growth in the second half of the year. That's exactly what we're seeing. I was actually talking to the team this morning. We've seen more loans in our credit working group, which meets three times a week to preview upcoming credits, and then also credit committee over the past several weeks now than we've seen in the first half of the year. So pipelines are stronger and continue to be strong. The actual work and process that we're seeing and the activity we're getting from our frontline folks is stronger. So I do think that we're going to see positive trends. I feel like You know, our forecast for this year, kind of 10%-ish growth, seems like we're on track for that. And I think, you know, a 15% run rate here going into 2026 seems like a, 2027, I mean, seems like a reasonable indication of what we're seeing.

Great. That's really helpful. And the next, just wanted to touch on mortgage. I know the rate environment has been a bit of a headwind there. just curious how you see activity trending from here if rates continue to rise.

So mortgages as a percent of revenues for us is a small number. We just are in that business primarily because we think it's strategically important for a private bank to be able to play good defense with our clients that want mortgages and to use that to play offense to attract jumbo mortgage clients that we can turn profitably into full relationships. So definitely the production nationwide has fallen off the cliff. We actually looked with our mortgage team earlier this week to see how we were doing relative to the overall secondary market, and we're outperforming. And I think that's because we're doing the things we can't. We can't control, obviously, the 10-year treasury. We can't control demand for mortgages, which is way down nationally. But what we can control is the fixed expenses in that area, which we've cut, and the quality and productivity of the MLOs that we have in place, who are commission-based, so there's not a significant direct cost to them on an ongoing basis, but we have had a lot of success over the last year adding MLOs. So that helps with our strategic benefit, but it also helps and the market comes back, which eventually it will. We'll be able to take advantage of that, but it's a little bit of a sideshow. I actually think the more interesting part of the fee income story this quarter, and we kind of glossed over page seven of the deck, so I just want to go back to that for a minute. Is it page seven? The fee income this quarter was down thanks to insurance and mortgages, but actually, are PTEM fees. Oh, and the AUM was down. So it looks all negative. But we said that we've done this restructuring of our PTEM folks and completely reorganized that business for the future over the last couple of years. We brought in Brandon Summers from Goldman Sachs, and he's leading that team now. We said we're going to see some results of that in 2026. Well, in Q2, we talked a little bit about green shoots. and now we see, you know, that was up, our trust and investment management fees were up over $100,000 in Q3, which if you look at that on a growth rate basis, you know, that's 2.6% increase or annualized, that's what, 10.4% and up 5.1% from a year ago. So those are trends that we haven't seen in years here. and I think that that's really a very bright spot in our B-income story that's kind of buried in some of the headwinds from mortgages and our insurance sales.

That's great. Thanks for all the color there. Thanks for taking my questions. I'll step back.

Thanks, Hannah. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matthew Clark of Piper Sandler. Your line is open, Matthew.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

Just on the deposit cost side, maybe if we could just start with getting the spot rate at the end of September and then the beta assumption we should use on interest-bearing deposits, assuming we get one or two more rate hikes here.

Yeah, Matt. The spot deposit rate for total deposits was 2.86 at the end of September. And from a beta standpoint, the way I look at the deposit portfolio is really focusing on the money market accounts from a beta standpoint. So we have $740 million in index money market accounts, which would translate to 100% beta. and then we have 760 million in standard money market accounts, that's how I refer to them, which that's where it's more of a standard type of beta and we saw a 28% beta on that September hike and we think that that's certainly what we're targeting going forward.

So just to add a little bit of strategic overview on that, too, Matt. You know, we've focused on building our deposit base, and I thought we saw some really nice progress in Q3 on that, not only in the growth that we saw, but also the mix. And, you know, David and his team did a drill down on that, and there's really three components that seem to be driving that. Our business development focus that we're working on the deposit side. You know, we brought in this new deposit czar nine months ago now. and the focus we're doing there seems to be working. And then we've restructured and rebuilt our treasury management team. We've always had a competitive treasury management offering, but we've really changed that pretty significantly and upgraded that. And then the third area is we require relationships with every loan we do. We've been doing that for, I don't know, a year and a half now, something like that. And we literally write into every loan document a requirement that the borrower use us as their primary bank. So those three components are driving deposit growth. They're driving a deposit shift into more DDAs, non-interest bearing deposits, which of course is an area full of opportunity for First Western.

Got it. Matt, one data point I should also mention is we do have $200 million notional of cash flow hedge on the deposit portfolio, and that's a pay fix swap. So that effectively takes that, you know, 740 of index money markets down 200 million.

Yep. Okay. Great. And then just want to ask about the borrowings at the end of the quarter. It looked like on average they were down, but up a decent amount at the end of the quarter. And you're saying You expect margin expansion to continue. Can you just provide some color on those additional borrowings and whether or not they might stick around? I would think that would be a headwind for the margin in 4Q.

Yeah. On an average basis, we expect that to normalize. We do have internal liquidity policies and things of that nature that drive some of the borrowing at the end of the quarter. But like I said, on an average basis, we do expect that to normalize.

Okay. Similar to where you were is what you're implying? Yeah. Okay. And then just on profitability, any thoughts on when you think you can achieve a 1% ROA? And I think we all know how you can get there, but any thoughts on timing there?

Well, we've been working on our plan for 2027, and I think, you know, if we define that as kind of the short term here, we do think that we'll be operating at 1% ROA during 2027, whether that's mid-year or the average for the year, the full year, I would be reluctant to say today. But I think, you know, from the progress we've seen now over the last three years, and then these trends that I talked about, which seem to be accelerating in Q3, that are so positive. I do think that that is something we can achieve over the course of 2027. You know, the other interesting question that I have been wondering about and asking David and his team about is, you know, when we were doing 54 cents in 2023, you know, we're thinking, boy, you know, it's our EPS. We've got to get back to 1% here. is 1%, you know, any kind of a ceiling for us. And, you know, our new three-year forecast that we use internally, you know, we can see a line of sight to 3% to 1.5% ROA just based on, you know, kind of stable, healthy markets, upward sloping yield curve, relatively stable rates, healthy economy. You know, if those sorts of things continue, I think that that's something that we can look forward to in the medium term to drive shareholder value here.

Great. Thanks again.

Thank you. Thanks, Matt.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Liam Cuhill of HubD Group. Your line is open, Liam.

Thank you, and good morning, Scott, Julie, and David. Thanks for taking the questions. Morning, Liam. Good morning. So one of the highlights for me this quarter was definitely the non-interest-bearing balance growth. Now, curious to hear about what you think some of the key drivers are there, especially given how difficult it is to grow non-interest-bearing balances in this rate environment.

Yeah. So, you know, at First Western, we've always focused on business owners and those individual entrepreneurs and their families and their charities. and I think what's changed here, and I mentioned some of this a minute ago, but the business development focus, our treasury management focus, our relationship-based lending that we require for each borrower, those are all positives. Some of what we saw in Q3 was also just fluctuations in operating accounts we already have. big driver of all this for us today, and I think going forward for the foreseeable future, is all of this market disruption. And it's really profoundly affecting the competitive environment here in a way that I haven't seen in my 40 years of banking in our own banks here in the market. And where that translates into is our ability to attract really outstanding talent. We brought in this quarter, we added Bill Sullivan as our head of strategic planning here. Bill is a really interesting guy. He's been around Denver forever. He's got a great reputation among our target markets and among bankers here because he's so well-known and well-liked. He built the Colorado State story for, he was the former CEO of Bank of Oklahoma here, and they bought Colorado State Bank and Trust, which is where a lot of entrepreneurs and a lot of personal trust business went over the years. And then 10 years ago, the Bank of Oklahoma bought Colorado Business Bank, which was another place just full of our type of clients. So Bill knows that market really well. He's actually working on some really interesting strategic initiatives for us. But you know, it's not just Bill, right? It's Brandon that we brought in from Goldman. It's 14 hires now we've made of senior folks out of what used to be First Bank. And these folks, a number of them have a CNI focus. All of them have a focus on our type of clients and providing that kind of community-oriented, team-based service that's something that First Bank was so good at and that we believe in here. Of those 14 hires, they're all hitting the ground quickly and having a big impact here and really feel comfortable in the culture of First Western and how similar it is to some of the really great qualities that First Bank had over the years. All those things, I think, are going to drive deposit growth, deposit opportunities, and DDA, treasury management, relationship banking opportunities for us.

Thanks for the call. That's helpful. Especially the last point you made there about the new hires impacting loan growth. We definitely saw that in the quarter. Originations were really strong. But one question I did have was payoffs did tick up a little bit. And I was wondering how you expect payoffs to trend in a higher rate environment. Are those mostly like variable rate loans that are paying off?

Yeah. That's a great question, and David, I think you took a look at that to see if there was anything in particular there that stood out.

Yeah, no real trends to call out. Our clients do tend to be episodic at times, and I think that's just what we were seeing this quarter.

You know, the payoff number seems to be about $100 million a quarter. We've commented on that before. was hired this quarter. Do we expect that to go back to $100 million for the next few quarters? Yes, but will it bounce around? Historically, it has. There's no big trend. The other interesting point there is these higher rates are actually creating opportunity for us with this disruption. Yesterday, we were out on a call and we heard this story from a client where their loan was maturing at another bank. And so they were having a discussion with the bank about their new pricing. And when you find out your coupon, your loan's going to go from 3% or 4% to something like 7% or 8%, if another bank delivers that bad news and they're already mad at that other bank and they come here to see what we'll do and it's similar, that's opportunity for us. So I think it actually helps create opportunity for us to see that kind of impact going on in the financial markets.

Maybe we'll just add in on the yield side. The payoff yields were about 6.26% while origination yields were at 6.79%. So they're not that low really for us and it's creating a nice bump in our NIMS.

That actually is a great point, Julie. I was thinking about this. There's five different ways right now that are driving higher asset yields for us. So one would be new production. So when we see the yield that Julie was just talking about there, that's on all the new loans that's coming in at that average rate. Then, of course, you're replacing the low rates that are maturing or prepaying or that's a second source, and that's $100 million.

We have quite a few of those coming through 2027. Yep.

and then the third area is floating rate. We have about a billion dollars in floating rate loans and bonds and that didn't really even show up in Q3 because that fed funds increase was actually on September 15th. So you'll see that benefit really for the first time in Q4. So that's a billion out of our 3.2 or whatever it is today. Then You've also got, to Julie's point, $370 million in loans either maturing or arms that are repricing through the end of next year. And on top of that, you've got another $400 million in fair value cash flow swaps that we have in our books. So you add all that stuff up, and it really gives us a lot of protection on an upgrade, and it really puts first Western in the position we want to be in, which is a relatively neutral balance sheet.

Thank you for all that color. That's really helpful. Then just one more for me. This is more of a housekeeping question, but I believe this is the case, but that tax benefit looked like a one-time benefit to me. Do you expect the normalized rate to kind of be back around 23% or so?

Yes, it was a one-time in the quarter. Not to say that we won't explore those opportunities again, but without those, you know, the 23% effective tax rate is a reasonable estimate.

Great. Well, thank you for taking all my questions. I'll step back. Thanks, Liam.

Thank you. Once again, to ask a question, please press star 11 on your telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Bill DeZellum. of Titan Capital Management. Your line is open, Bill.

Thank you. A couple of questions. First of all, relative to the dynamics setting you up for loan growth, are we hearing you correctly that both the underlying dynamics and factors that will lead to loan growth are accelerating in addition to the loan growth itself, and so therefore the flywheel has begun? Is that what we're hearing?

I think so. You know, we talked last quarter about green shoots and we said, you know, we're seeing some green shoots on the banking side. We're seeing some on the P-TIM side. And now, you know, those green shoots seem to be sprouting a little bit more and showing up more in the numbers. You know, I think those are going to create opportunities for us going into 2027, Bill.

And not to get too far out over our skis here. Are the characteristics setting up such that you could see quarters ahead where the year over year growth is in the, loan growth is in the 20% sort of range?

I don't know that that's a goal for us. I think that, you know, mid-teen growth is a great place to be. And if you can produce the kind of operating leverage that we have been, and I don't see any reason that changes. We've seen our operating expenses bump up from 20 million a quarter to 21 million a quarter and I think that's a good number for us today. I think we can still drive a lot of earnings gains and I talked about our three-year outlook and where we think we can get to. So I'd like to see us continue on in the mid-teens for now and then, you know, what that lets you do is be picky. And in today's market, that's a good thing. I mean, we were in a credit committee last week and a couple of the relationship bankers were talking about loans being priced at 90 and 95 percent basis points, 90 and 95 basis points over comparable treasuries at competitors. And, you know, we've seen this cycle before. We know that when somebody comes in, does a big acquisition, they want to show that they're able to protect the client base and stuff like that, they'll do that kind of thing. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, we can buy jinnies, floating jinnies at a yield like that. And in fact, we have been. And I think, you know, then you have something that's no credit risk and no capital requirement and a really attractive yielding asset for it. That's built into that NIM story we told you, right? So I think if we're seeing more demand that could produce 20%, 25% loan growth, don't need to do it. You can just be more selective and get the relationships and the terms and the rate that you want.

That's very helpful. Thank you. And then in the press release, you referenced a roughly $10 million redemption of notes. Walk us through the background of that, please.

Yeah, those were subordinated debt notes that we had issued in November of 2020. And they were eligible for call. And so we went ahead and decided to call those, which will give us a benefit from a NIM perspective. And we're comfortable with where our capital ratios are, so saw no real issues on that side either.

Just to be clear, those are subordinate notes that are tier two capital at the holding company level. So it's just part of a capital management thing, but it actually reduces our debt load at the holding company, which is a good thing.

And was the entire issuance available to call and you just chose the 10 million? and you can do the remainder later or are there specific dates, I've actually not looked at the details, when you can then call incremental pieces?

The entire, it was a $10 million note, the entire note was eligible and we decided to call the full $10 million.

Great. Thank you very much. and by the way, congratulations on a great quarter.

Thank you. Appreciate that.

Thank you. I would now like to turn the conference back to Scott Wylie for closing remarks. Sir?

Yeah, so one of the things I didn't get to highlight was, you know, a story actually from yesterday. Julie and I were out on a client call yesterday and, you know, I tell our people frequently, you know, we can compete on value, we can compete on price, and guess which one we'd rather see you out competing on. And so we were visiting this client, been a long-term client, and he's an entrepreneur in a very niche, interesting business, he and I, and really has had a great experience at First Western. So he's telling us a story which, interestingly, I didn't know this story, which tells you it's kind of a culture thing here, not one-off, and the story was that he had had a CFO look at doing an acquisition of a supplier that had run into trouble with their bank and was trying to sell to this upstream commercial business. And so the CFO came back and said, well, that doesn't really make sense. And so the principal that we were meeting with, the owner of the business, took a look at it. And he decided, no, this is a great thing for us. It's going to lower our costs, going to help us with vertical integration, going to be great for our business. and makes a ton of financial sense. So he calls us and says, hey, I've got one day to get this loan done. Is that possible? And we turned around, approved the loan in one day, funded it in three days. And this guy said, what bank in America is going to be able to fund an acquisition loan for a business we want to acquire in 72 hours? And I think it just tells you a lot about the position we put ourselves in, the quality of people we have here, the infrastructure, that Julie and our team have built here and our ability to be responsive and drive value instead of price in the market here. And so, you know, I think what you're seeing here is us taking advantage of these extraordinary market conditions. You know, we've never seen market disruption like this. We've really been able to take advantage of that. We set up that disruption task force we told you about a year ago, and they're having a heyday with recruiting and with sales and marketing initiatives. Prospects today want a stable, local, expert team and an institution that can deliver that, especially in our niche servicing entrepreneurs and their businesses and their families. Our small market share we have in these growing markets creates a lot of opportunity for us. We have strong, healthy economies, and our new hires, as we said, are already having an impact. the investments and changes we've made over the last couple years are really paying off. We were hoping to see evidence of that in Q3, and in fact we did. The PTEM restructuring that we did is working. The increased attention that we've given to the planning, trust, and investment management area each has had significant impact and is showing some nice results. You know, I said last quarter there was no real magic bullet to our earnings gains that it was driven by five different things, and they're all progressing nicely. And those five things, number one, organic growth, you know, that was up at a 14% rate in Q3. Number two was continued NIM improvements. We talked a lot about that on the call. Number three, fee income, which looks bad in the headline because of mortgages, but it's actually, I think, a really great turnaround story for us there that will play out in 27. expense control, of course, and then asset quality, which was another great story in Q3 for us. And that's going to drive ongoing improvements in core earnings. Our pre-tax, pre-provision numbers, which we were asked about in the first half of this year, that's now turned around up a million dollars quarter over quarter, which is 57% annualized in Q3 and 27% year over year, and those are great numbers. and we're headed back to this 1% ROAA in the near term. So I just want to give a special shout out to our board, to the leadership team, to the organization changes that we've made over the last couple of years with Julie's leadership. Our associates, I think, are doing a great job of taking advantage of this environment and of course, our clients for supporting all this change. I just feel like there's great things to come here and really appreciate people's time and attention down for a call today. Thank you.

Today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
