FIRST MERCHANTS CORP files 10-Q

First Merchants Corporation reported a decrease in net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year, largely due to integration and transaction-related expenses from the acquisition of First Savings Financial Group, Inc. and a loss on mortgage loans reclassified to held for sale. The company's balance sheet grew significantly due to the acquisition, with total assets increasing by over $2 billion.
