Lakeland Financial LKFN Discount rate

Mortgage servicing rights: As of March 31, 2026, the value of the Company’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans (“MSRs”) was $1.5 million, carried at amortized cost and an immaterial valuation reserve. These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 4.0%, a weighted average maturity of 20 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company’s market area of Northern Indiana and Indianapolis. A third-party valuation is used to estimate fair value by stratifying the portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. Impairment is estimated based on an income approach. The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees and float income. The most significant assumption used to value MSRs is prepayment rate. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate. At March 31, 2026, the constant prepayment speed (“PSA”) used was 188 and used a discount rate of 9.5%. At December 31, 2025, the PSA used was 168 and the discount rate used was 9.5%.
