Impact of Terminated Interest Rate Swap on Future Margins

The company will lose the benefit of the terminated interest rate swap after Q3 2025, which is expected to reduce interest income by approximately $2 million in Q4 2025.
Management indicates that the margin could be affected by the loss of this swap, but expects a neutral to slightly positive impact due to redeployment of funds into higher-yield assets and maturing low-rate fixed loans.
