    Item 1.​ ​Description of Business

    The disclosures set forth in this Item 1. are qualified by Item 1A. Risk Factors and the section captioned “Forward Looking Statements” in this section and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.

    General

    Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") is a bank holding company and the parent company of Southern Bank (“Bank”). The Company changed its state of incorporation to Missouri on April 1, 1999, after originally incorporating in Delaware on December 30, 1993, for the purpose of becoming the holding company for the Bank, which was known as Southern Missouri Savings Bank upon completion of its conversion from a state chartered mutual savings and loan association to a state chartered stock savings bank. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "SMBC".

    The Bank was originally chartered by the state of Missouri as a mutual savings and loan association in 1887. On June 4, 2004, Southern Missouri Bank & Trust Co. converted from a Missouri chartered stock savings bank to a Missouri chartered trust company with banking powers ("Charter Conversion"). On June 1, 2009, the institution changed its name to Southern Bank.

    The primary regulator of the Bank is the Missouri Division of Finance. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board" or "FRB") is the Bank’s primary federal regulator. The Bank’s deposits continue to be insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). With the Bank’s conversion to a trust company with banking powers, the Company became a bank holding company regulated by the FRB.

    The principal business of the Bank consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and using such deposits along with wholesale funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, ("FHLB"), and brokered deposits, to invest in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, commercial non-mortgage business loans, construction loans, and consumer loans. These funds are also used to purchase mortgage-backed and related securities ("MBS"), municipal bonds, and other permissible investments.

    At June 30, 2026, the Company had total assets of $5.2 billion, total deposits of $4.4 billion and stockholders’ equity of $590.7 million. The Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank. The Company’s revenues are derived principally from interest earned on loans and investment securities, and, to a lesser extent, banking service charges, bank card interchange fees, gains on sales of loans and loan servicing income, wealth management fees, increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, and other fee income.

    Acquisitions During The Last Ten Years

    On January 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Citizens Bancshares, Co. (“Citizens”), the parent company of Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“Citizens Bank”). At closing, before purchase accounting adjustments, Citizens held total assets of $985.7 million, loans, net, of $456.0 million, and deposits of $851.0 million. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $23.5 million, which was attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected to result from combining the operations of the Bank and Citizens Bank. Goodwill from this transaction was recorded at the Company level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    On February 25, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Fortune Financial, Inc. (“Fortune”), the parent company of FortuneBank (“FB”) in a stock and cash transaction. At closing, before purchase accounting adjustments, Fortune held total assets of $253.0 million, loans, net, of $202.1 million, and deposits of $218.3 million. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $12.8 million, which was attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected to result from

    3

    combining the operations of the Bank and FB. Goodwill from this transaction was recorded at the Company level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    On December 15, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of the Cairo, Illinois, branch (“Cairo”) of First National Bank, Oldham, South Dakota. The deal resulted in Southern Bank relocating its facility from its prior location in Cairo to the First National Bank location in Cairo. The Company views the acquisition and updates to the new facility as an expression of its continuing commitment to the Cairo community. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $442,000, which was recorded at the Bank level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    On May 22, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Central Federal Bancshares, Inc. (“Central”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Central Federal Savings & Loan Association of Rolla (“Central Federal”), in an all-cash transaction. At closing, Central held total assets of $70.6 million, loans, net, of $51.4 million, and deposits of $46.7 million. The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $123,000, while none of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

    On November 21, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Gideon Bancshares Company (“Gideon”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Commercial Bank (“First Commercial”), in a stock and cash transaction. At closing, Gideon held total assets of $217 million, loans, net, of $144 million, and deposits of $171 million. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $1.0 million, which was attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected to result from combining the operations of the Bank and First Commercial. Goodwill from this transaction was recorded at the Bank level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    On February 23, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Southern Missouri Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Missouri Bank of Marshfield (“SMB-Marshfield”), in a stock and cash transaction. SMB-Marshfield was merged into the Bank at acquisition. At closing, Bancshares held total assets of $86.2 million, loans, net, of $68.3 million, and deposits of $68.2 million. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $4.4 million, which was attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected to result from combining the operations of the Bank and SMB-Marshfield. Goodwill from this transaction was recorded at the Company level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    On June 16, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Tammcorp, Inc. (Tammcorp), and its subsidiary, Capaha Bank (Capaha), Tamms, Illinois, in a stock and cash transaction. Capaha was merged into the Bank at acquisition. At closing, Tammcorp held total assets of $187 million, loans, net, of $153 million, and deposits of $167 million. A Tammcorp note payable of $3.7 million was contractually required to be repaid in conjunction with the acquisition. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $4.1 million, which was attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected to result from combining the operations of the Bank and Capaha. Goodwill from this transaction was recorded at the Company level, and was not deductible for tax purposes.

    The Company completed each of the above whole bank acquisitions primarily for the purpose of expanding its commercial banking activities where it believes the Company’s business model will perform well and for the long-term value of its core deposit franchise.

    Capital Raising Transactions During the Last Ten Years

    On June 20, 2017, the Company completed an at-the-market common stock issuance. A total of 794,762 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold at a weighted-average price of approximately $31.46 per share, representing gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.0 million. The proceeds from the transaction have been used for general corporate purposes, including working capital to support organic growth at Southern Bank, and to support acquisitions to the extent available.

    Forward Looking Statements

    This document contains statements about the Company and its subsidiaries which we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, and may include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, growth opportunities, interest rates, cost savings and funding advantages expected or anticipated to be realized by management. Words such as "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by the Company and its management are based on beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions of management and are not guarantees of future performance. The important factors we discuss below, as well as other factors discussed under the caption "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and identified in the filing and in our other filings with the SEC and those presented elsewhere by our management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document:

    expected cost savings, synergies and other benefits from our merger and acquisition activities, including our recently completed acquisitions, might not be realized within the anticipated time frames, to the extent anticipated, or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention and labor shortages, might be greater than expected and goodwill impairment charges might be incurred;
    potential adverse impacts to economic conditions both nationally and in our local market areas, other markets where the Company has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth;
    the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;
    fluctuations in interest rates and inflation, including the effects of a potential recession whether caused by Federal Reserve actions or otherwise or slowed economic growth caused by changes in oil prices or supply chain disruptions;
    the impact of monetary and fiscal policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the U.S. Government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;
    potential imposition of new or increased tariffs or changes to existing trade policies that could affect economic activity or specific industry sectors;
    the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment;
    the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans;
    our ability to access cost-effective funding and maintain sufficient liquidity;
    the timely development of and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services;

    5

    fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate markets, as well as agricultural business conditions;
    fluctuations in the demand for loans and deposits, including our ability to attract and retain deposits;
    the impact of a federal government shutdown;
    legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;
    the effects of climate change, severe weather events, other natural disasters, war, terrorist activities or civil unrest and their effects on economic and business environments in which the Company operates;
    changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines;
    results of examinations of us by our regulators, including the impact on FDIC insurance premiums and the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require an increase in our reserve for credit losses on loans or a write-down of assets;
    the impact of technological changes and an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances;
    the inability of key third party providers to perform their obligations to us;
    cyber threats, such as phishing, ransomware, and insider attacks, can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties if sensitive customer data and critical infrastructure are not adequately protected;
