Income Statement

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 was $26.4 million compared to $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $25.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.75% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.80% for the second quarter of 2025, and 3.82% for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was impacted by the strong growth in core deposits and timing on loan fundings, resulting in higher average cash of $190.6 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 compared to $114.3 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. The spread on interest rates was stable quarter over quarter as the average loan yield increased from 6.22% for the second quarter of 2025 to 6.26% for the third quarter of 2025, while the cost of funds increased from 2.31% for the second quarter of 2025 to 2.34% for the third quarter of 2025.

Deposits and net loans as of September 30, 2025 totaled $2.67 billion and $2.43 billion, respectively, compared to deposits and net loans of $2.46 billion and $2.33 billion, respectively at June 30, 2025 and $2.36 billion and $2.23 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2024. Deposits and net loans exclude recorded balances held for sale in the Branch Sale of $93.6 million and $91.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024, which are reflected within liabilities held for sale and assets held for sale.

Total loans at September 30, 2025 were $2.46 billion, compared to $2.36 billion at June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $100.4 million, with the majority of the growth in commercial loans. Year-to-date, total loans have increased $207.4 million 2 from December 31, 2024, excluding the impact of the Branch Sale, or 11.81% annualized. Total commercial loan commitments originated in the third quarter of 2025 were $235.9 million with funded balances of $177.4 million. The average commercial loan commitment originated during the third quarter of 2025 totaled approximately $1.2 million with an average outstanding funded balance of $924 thousand.

This robust growth reflected a continued focus on core deposit generation, particularly from commercial relationships, and included strong inflows into interest checking accounts from professional services clients and money market accounts from commercial clients. Year-to-date, total deposits have increased $329.7 million 2 from December 31, 2024, or 18.75%, adjusting for the impact of the Branch Sale and change in brokered deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $640.1 million at September 30, 2025, slightly down from $646.7 million at June 30, 2025. Brokered deposits remained flat at $75.0 million at each quarter end. Average deposits increased $159.4 million from $2.34 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $2.50 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company continues to maintain strong on-balance sheet liquidity, as cash and cash equivalents were $194.2 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $155.1 million at June 30, 2025 and $166.1 million at December 31, 2024.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a $1.0 million provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2025, after recording a $344 thousand provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2025.

The increase in provision was primarily related to commercial loan growth during the third quarter of 2025.

Delinquencies improved over the prior quarter, as loans 30-89 days past due at September 30, 2025 were $4.73 million, representing 0.19% of total loans compared to $14.5 million or 0.62% of total loans at June 30, 2025 and $2.9 million or 0.13% of total loans at December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's non-performing assets increased slightly to $24.6 million, representing 0.79% of total assets, compared to $21.9 million, representing 0.76% of total assets at June 30, 2025. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily related to one commercial loan secured by a perfected first lien on real estate that is properly margined.

The allowance for credit losses for loans was $25.3 million, or 1.03% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2025, compared to $24.7 million, or 1.05% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2025. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses for loans to nonperforming assets was 102.90% at September 30, 2025, compared to 112.68% at June 30, 2025.

The Company recorded $300 thousand in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2025 compared to $40 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The charge-off was due to one loan which previously had a specific allocated reserve.

Capital

The Bank's regulatory capital ratios were well in excess of regulatory minimums to be considered "well capitalized" as of September 30, 2025. The Bank's Total Capital Ratio and Tier 1 Capital Ratio were 12.31% and 11.39% respectively, at September 30, 2025, compared to 12.43% and 11.51%, respectively, at June 30, 2025 and 11.44% and 10.62%, respectively, at September 30, 2024. The Company's ratio of Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets was 7.55% 1 at September 30, 2025 compared to 7.89% 1 at June 30, 2025 and 7.02% 1 at September 30, 2024.

(1) - These capital ratios have been calculated using bank-level capital

(2) - This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(3) - The efficiency ratio, as adjusted represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding gains or losses from securities sales and merger related expenses. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(4) - We calculate tangible common equity as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(5) - We calculate tangible book value per common share as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(6) - Charge offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 do not include the impact of a settlement of a purchase credit deteriorated loan ("PCD") that resulted in a net decrease to the allowance of $2.0 million, which was covered by a specific reserve established on this PCD loan at the time of acquisition.

Appendix A – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company's financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by us. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
