As we look to the remainder of 2026, we’re well-positioned to navigate the current environment thanks to the resilience and stability of our Midwestern markets, our enhanced profitability profile, a solid capital position, and our ability to attract and deepen relationships. We look forward to providing additional updates on Associated’s growth journey along the way.”
