Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts.

Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

NOTE 12 BORROWINGS Short-term Borrowings Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase BancShares held $224 million and $367 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have overnight contractual maturities and are collateralized by government agency securities. The weighted average interest rate for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was 0.41% and 0.59% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs for collateralization of commercial customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements. BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterpartys fractional interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities. The primary risk with repurchase agreemen …

Fair value · 21,423 characters as filed
NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE Fair Value Hierarchy BancShares measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement with Level 1 inputs considered highest and Level 3 inputs considered lowest. A brief description of each input level follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the assets or liabilities and market corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect the estimates market …

BancShares applied the required disclosures retrospectively. Aside from complying with the new disclosure requirements, this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Refer to Note 19Income Taxes for required disclosures.

Since the ALLL at the acquisition date is established through the Gross-Up Approach, there is no corresponding increase to the provision for loan and lease losses (Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses). Prior to this ASU, the Gross-Up Approach was only permitted for PCD loans, while the initial ALLL for Non-PCD loans was established through the Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses.

BancShares segments include the General Bank, the Commercial Bank, and Rail. All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in the Corporate section of the segment disclosures.

NOTE 9 BORROWINGS Short-term Borrowings Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase BancShares held $423 million and $367 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have overnight contractual maturities and are collateralized by government agency securities. The weighted average interest rate for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was 0.47% and 0.59% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs for collateralization of commercial customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements.

Fair value · 21,549 characters as filed
NOTE 11 FAIR VALUE Fair Value Hierarchy BancShares measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement with Level 1 inputs considered highest and Level 3 inputs considered lowest. A brief description of each input level follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the assets or liabilities and market corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect the estimates market …

NOTE 15 INCOME TAXES BancShares global effective income tax rates (ETRs) were 24.4% and 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24.7% and 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in tax credits and a reduction in the state and local income tax rate. The quarterly income tax expense is based on a projection of BancShares annual ETR. This annual ETR is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pretax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The ETR each period is also impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowances, and discrete items. The currently forecasted ETR may vary from the actual year-end 2025 ETR due to the changes in these factors. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The OBBBA contains several provisions that impact corporate taxation. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the tax rate or results of operations. Uncertain Tax Benefits BancShares recognizes tax benefits when it is more likely than not that the position will prevail, based solely on the technical merits under the tax law of the relevant j …
