Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as elsewhere in this Report, when we use the term “Company” and “German American”, we will usually be referring to the business and affairs (financial and otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates as a whole.
• Occasionally, we will refer to the term “German American Bancorp”, “Bancorp”, “parent company” or “holding company” when we mean to refer to only German American Bancorp, Inc., and the term “Bank” when we mean to refer to only the Company’s bank subsidiary.
• The critical accounting policies and estimates that the Company has determined to be the most susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of securities available for sale, income tax expense, and the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets.
• The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to cover the estimated expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the loan portfolio.
• The allowance for credit losses for loans represents management’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the loan portfolio.
• The Company evaluates and utilizes multiple economic forecast scenarios provided by a third-party for these model inputs.
• The sensitivity and related range of impact is a hypothetical analysis and is not intended to represent management’s estimation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2026.
• For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
• If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security.
• In evaluating the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers the likelihood that sufficient taxable income of appropriate character will be generated within carry-back and carry-forward periods, including consideration of available tax planning strategies.
• The provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was made at a level deemed necessary by management to absorb expected losses in the loan portfolio.
• Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts along with other qualitative and quantitative factors.
