The decrease on a linked quarter basis was due to a death benefit received in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as a $1.0 million, or $.02 per share, reduction in the first quarter of 2026 arising due to an adjustment of the amount in the fourth quarter of 2025. Other operating income decreased $373,000, or 37.3%, to $628,000 for the first quarter of 2026 from $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $76,000, or 10.8%, on a linked quarter basis.

Salary and benefit expense increased $4.0 million, or 17.4%, to $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased $3.0 million, or 12.6%, on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to the full impact of our Houston market expansion and seasonally higher payroll taxes during the first quarter of 2026. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased by 32 (of which, 24 are frontline), or 5.0%, to 668 at March 31, 2026 compared to 636 at March 31, 2025, and increased by 2 from the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

Professional services expense increased $10,000, or 0.5%, to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased $462,000, or 31.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Other operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 37.4%, to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $2.8 million, or 39.5%, on a linked quarter basis.

Income tax expense increased $2.1 million, or 13.4%, to $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $3.2 million, or 15.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Our effective tax rate was 17.82% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 20.06% for the first quarter of 2025, and 19.72% on a linked quarter basis. During the first quarter of 2026, we purchased Investment Tax Credits, which reduced our tax expense. We recognized a reduction in provision for income taxes resulting from excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 of $229,000 and $470,000, respectively.
