โ€œCommerce delivered record revenues in the fourth quarter, driven by strong performance across both net interest income and non-interest income. Our overall results for the quarter and the full year are a reflection of the strength and diversity of our businesses and the dedication of our team members in serving our customers, communities and shareholders,โ€ said John Kemper, President and Chief Executive Officer.

On balance sheet strength, Kemper added, โ€œWe repurchased 2.2 million common shares in the fourth quarter and ended the year with robust levels of liquidity and capital. Compared to the same period last year, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio grew 119 basis points to 11.11%, and our book value per share increased by $4.09, or 17%, to $27.75. Credit quality remains excellent with non-accrual loans at .09% of total loans, down two basis points from the same period last year.โ€

Kemper continued, โ€œOn January 1, 2026, we closed on the FineMark acquisition and officially welcomed our new colleagues into our organization. This combination strengthens our platform for sustained growth in wealth management and private banking, and I am eager see what we can accomplish together.โ€ At December 31, 2025, FineMark had loans of $2.7 billion, deposits of $3.1 billion, and $8.7 billion of wealth assets under administration.
