COLONY BANKCORP, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

DECLARES QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.12 PER SHARE

FITZGERALD, GA. (July 22, 2026) – Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (NYSE: CBAN) (“Colony” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.  Financial highlights are shown below.

Financial Highlights:

● Net income increased to $10.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, and $8.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.

● Operating net income was $11.0 million, or $0.52 of operating earnings per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $9.5 million, or $0.45 of operating earnings per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, and $8.0 million, or $0.46 of operating earnings per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. (See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures).

● Provision for credit losses of $1.90 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1.75 million in the first quarter of 2026, and $450,000 in the second quarter of 2025.

● Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.46 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $51.4 million, or 2.13%, from the prior quarter.

● Total deposits were $2.97 billion and $3.05 billion at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, a decrease of $76.2 million.

● Mortgage production was $115.4 million, and mortgage sales totaled $67.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $88.5 million and $61.4 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026.

● Small Business Specialty Lending (“SBSL”) closed $13.0 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and sold $5.5 million in SBA loans in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $13.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026.

The Company also announced that on July 22, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share, to be paid on its common stock on August 19, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 5, 2026. The Company had 21,221,503 shares of its common stock outstanding as of July 20, 2026.

“We are pleased with our second quarter financial performance, which reflects continued improvement in net interest margin, noninterest income, and operating expenses,” said Heath Fountain, Chief Executive Officer. “Our team has done a great job capturing efficiencies following the TC Federal integration, and we are well-positioned to maximize the earnings power of our balance sheet. On an operating basis, we successfully achieved our target return on average assets of 1.20%, and we are confident in our ability to maintain this level of performance moving forward.”

“We were also proud to announce our strategic partnership with First Reliance during the quarter and both leadership teams recognize the significant opportunities this combination creates for scalable, long-term growth. Our teams are making progress on merger related milestones, and we remain on track for a legal close in the fourth quarter of this year.”

“Loan growth accelerated during the quarter, landing within the lower end of our annualized 8% to 12% target range. This growth served as a driver of our margin expansion, supported by disciplined pricing on new production and renewals, alongside a well-managed cost of funds. While total deposits experienced a slight decline - consistent with our historical seasonal patterns for this time of year - our team remains focused on expanding primary deposit relationships in what remains a highly competitive funding environment.

“Overall, we see significant runway for continued performance improvement as our team executes on our strategic initiatives and delivers a superior level of service to our customers and communities.”

Balance Sheet

● Total assets were $3.63 billion at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $93.0 million from March 31, 2026.

● Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.46 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $51.4 million from March 31, 2026.

● Total deposits were $2.97 billion and $3.05 billion at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, a decrease of $76.2 million.  Decreases were seen in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $31.2 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $27.2 million and savings and money market deposits of $26.5 million while time deposits increased $8.7 million, from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026.

● Total borrowings at June 30, 2026 totaled $233.2 million, a decrease of $25.0 million compared to March 31, 2026.

Second Quarter and Six-Months 2026 Results of Operations

● Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, totaled $30.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $22.6 million for the same period in 2025.  Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, totaled $59.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $43.7 million for the same period in 2025.  For both periods, increases occurred in income on interest earning assets which was partially offset by increases in expense on interest bearing liabilities.  Income on interest earning assets increased $8.9 million to $45.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.  Expense on interest bearing liabilities increased $1.5 million to $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.  Income on interest earning assets increased $18.2 million to $91.0 million for the six months ended 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.  Expense on interest bearing liabilities increased $2.6 million to $31.6 million for the six months ended 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

● Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 3.52% compared to 3.12% for the second quarter of 2025.  Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 3.50% compared to 3.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.  The increase for both periods was impacted by the Company’s acquisition of TC Bancshares, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2025, and was also impacted by increases in interest earning asset yields period over period, as well as the decreased cost of funds.

● Noninterest income totaled $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.1 million, or 20.4%, compared to the same period in 2025.  Noninterest income totaled $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $3.7 million, or 19.4%, compared to the same period in 2025.  For both periods, increases occurred in service charges on deposits, mortgage fee income, interchange fees, BOLI income, which includes a tax-free gain of $706 thousand, insurance commissions and an increase in wealth advisor income included in other noninterest income, partially offset by decreases in gains on sales of SBA loans and an increase in losses on sales of securities.

● Noninterest expense totaled $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2025.  Noninterest expense totaled $54.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $42.2 million for the same period in 2025.  Increases for both periods occurred in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, information technology expenses, professional fees, advertising and public relations, and acquisition and integration-related expenses related to the acquisition of TC Bancshares, Inc. which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025 as well as expenses related to the recently announced merger with First Reliance Bancshares, Inc.

Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of current and future economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, tariffs or trade wars (including the resulting reduced consumer spending, lower economic growth or recession, reduced demand for U.S. exports, disruptions to supply chains, and decreased demand for other banking products and services), high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures, changes in interest rates (including the impact of volatile interest rates on our financial projections and models) and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial stress on borrowers as a result of the foregoing; the risk of reductions in benchmark interest rates and the resulting impacts on net interest income; potential impacts of adverse developments in the banking industry highlighted by high-profile bank failures, including impacts on customer confidence, deposit outflows, liquidity and the regulatory response thereto; risks arising from negative media coverage and perceived instability in the banking industry and the banking sector; the risks of changes in interest rates and their effects on the level, cost, and composition of, and competition for, deposits, loan demand and timing of payments, the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; the ability to attract new or retain existing deposits, to retain or grow loans or additional interest and fee income, or to control noninterest expense; the effect of pricing pressures on the Company’s net interest margin; the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses, fair value for loans and other real estate owned; changes in real estate values;

These and other factors, risks and uncertainties could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.

Operating net income, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, operating return on average tangible equity and operating efficiency ratio all exclude acquisition-related expenses, severance costs, loss on sales of securities and loss related to wire fraud incident from net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and efficiency ratio, respectively. Operating net noninterest expense to average assets ratio excludes from net noninterest expense, severance costs, acquisition-related expenses, loss on sales of securities and loss related to wire fraud incident.  Acquisition-related expenses includes fees associated with acquisitions and vendor contract buyouts. Severance costs includes costs associated with termination and retirement of employees.  Operating earnings per diluted share includes the adjustments to operating net income. Tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets and operating return on average tangible equity exclude goodwill and other intangibles from book value per common share, total equity to total assets and return on average equity, respectively.  Pre-provision net revenue is calculated by adding noninterest income to net interest income before provision for credit losses, and subtracting noninterest expense.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance, and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently.

These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The computations of operating noninterest income, operating noninterest expense, operating net income, operating earnings per diluted share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, operating return on average tangible equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio, operating net noninterest expense to average assets and pre-provision net revenue and the reconciliation of these measures to noninterest income, noninterest expense, net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency ratio, net noninterest expense to average assets and net interest income before provision for credit losses are set forth in the table below.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as

amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, certain statements may be contained in Colony Bankcorp, Inc.’s (the

“Company” or “Colony”) future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or

with the approval of the Company that are not statements of historical fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to

the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Examples of

forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections and/or expectations of revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the

payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (ii) statement of plans and objectives of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. or its

management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; (iii) statements of future economic performance; (iv) statements regarding

growth strategy, capital management, liquidity and funding, and future profitability; (v) statements relating to the timing, benefits, costs, and synergies of the

recently announced acquisition of First Reliance Bancshares, Inc. (“First Reliance”) (the “Merger”), and (vi) statements of assumptions underlying such

statements. Words such as “may”, “will”, “anticipate”, “assume”, “should”, “support”, “indicate”, “would”, “believe”, “contemplate”, “expect”, “estimate”,

“continue”, “further”, “plan”, “point to”, “project”, “could”, “intend”, “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but

are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks

and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of current and future economic conditions, particularly

those affecting the financial services industry, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, tariffs or trade wars (including the resulting reduced

consumer spending, lower economic growth or recession, reduced demand for U.S. exports, disruptions to supply chains, and decreased demand for other

banking products and services), high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures, changes in interest rates (including the impact of volatile interest rates on our

financial projections and models) and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial stress on borrowers as a result of the foregoing; the risk of

reductions in benchmark interest rates and the resulting impacts on net interest income; potential impacts of adverse developments in the banking industry

highlighted by high-profile bank failures, including impacts on customer confidence, deposit outflows, liquidity and the regulatory response thereto; risks arising

from negative media coverage and perceived instability in the banking industry and the banking sector; the risks of changes in interest rates and their effects on

the level, cost, and composition of, and competition for, deposits, loan demand and timing of payments, the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest

sensitive assets and liabilities; the ability to attract new or retain existing deposits, to retain or grow loans or additional interest and fee income, or to control

noninterest expense; the effect of pricing pressures on the Company’s net interest margin; the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves

for possible credit losses, fair value for loans and other real estate owned; changes in real estate values; the Company’s ability to implement its various strategic

and growth initiatives; increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions, as well as fintech companies

and other non-bank financial service providers offering digital, automated or alternative financial products and services; economic conditions, either nationally or

locally, in areas in which the Company conducts operations being less favorable than expected; changes in the prices, values and sales volumes of residential and

commercial real estate; developments in our mortgage banking business, including loan modifications, general demand, and the effects of judicial or regulatory

requirements or guidance; legislation or regulatory changes which adversely affect the ability of the consolidated Company to conduct business combinations or

new operations; adverse results from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions, including as a result of the

Company’s participation in and execution of government programs, those related to credit card interest rates, and legislative, regulatory or supervisory actions

related to so-called "de-banking," including any new prohibitions, requirements or enforcement priorities that could affect customer relationships, compliance

obligations, or operational practices; significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets and the effect of a fall in the stock market prices on

our investment securities; significant volatility in the markets for equity, fixed income and other asset classes globally or within specific markets; the effects of

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

war or other conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East; major political shifts domestically or internationally (including the potential for retaliatory actions

by governments, market participants or clients based on diverging perspectives or otherwise); general risks related to the Company's merger and acquisition activity,

Including risks associated with integrating and realizing the expected financial benefits of previous or pending acquisitions, and the Company’s pursuit of future

acquisitions; risks associated with the Merger, including (a) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to

be realized, (b) disruption with customers, suppliers, employee or other business partners relationships, (c) the risk of successful integration of First Reliance’s business

into the Company, (d) the risk of successful integration of First Reliance’s business into the Company, (e) the reaction of each of the Company's and First Reliance’s

customers, suppliers, employees or other business partners to the Merger, (f) the risk that the integration of First Reliance’s operations into the operations of the

Company will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult that expected, (g) the timing and achievement of expected cost reductions following the Merger, and

(h) the timing and achievement of the recovery of the reduction of tangible book value resulting from the Merger; general competitive, economic, political, and market

conditions; the impact of emerging technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence; fraud or misconduct by internal or external actors, and system failures,

cybersecurity threats or security breaches and the cost of defending against them; a deterioration of the credit rating for U.S. long-term sovereign debt, actions that the

U.S. government may take to avoid exceeding the debt ceiling, and uncertainties surrounding debt ceiling and the federal budget; and general competitive, economic,

political and market conditions or other unexpected factors or events. These and other factors, risks and uncertainties could cause the actual results, performance or

achievements of the Company to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently

known to the Company’s management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without

limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

year ended December 31, 2025, under the captions “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors,” and in the Company’s quarterly reports

on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after

the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place

undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Additional Information About the Proposed Merger and Where to Find It

This document does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of

securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such

jurisdiction. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company will file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement of

First Reliance Bancshares, Inc. (“First Reliance”) and the Company and a prospectus of the Company, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed

transaction. WE URGE INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4, THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

PROPOSED MERGER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, FIRST RELIANCE AND THE PROPOSED MERGER. The joint proxy

statement/prospectus will be sent to the shareholders of both the Company and First Reliance seeking the required shareholder approvals. Investors and security holders

will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement on Form S-4 and the related joint proxy statement/prospectus, when filed, as well as other documents filed

with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Documents filed with the SEC by the Company will also be available free of

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Statements included in this presentation include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which

provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this

presentation include the following: operating noninterest income, operating noninterest expense, operating net income, operating earnings per

diluted share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, operating return on average tangible equity, tangible

book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio, operating net noninterest expense to average

assets and pre-provision net revenue. The most comparable GAAP measures are noninterest income, noninterest expense, net income, diluted

earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency

ratio, net noninterest expense to average assets and net interest income before provision for credit losses, respectively. Operating noninterest

income excludes loss on sales of securities. Operating noninterest expense excludes severance costs, acquisition-related expenses and loss

related to wire fraud incident. Operating net income, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, operating return

on average tangible equity and operating efficiency ratio all exclude severance costs, acquisition-related expenses, loss on sales of securities,

and loss related to wire fraud incident from net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and efficiency ratio, respectively.

Operating net noninterest expense to average assets ratio excludes from net noninterest expense, severance costs, acquisition-related

expenses, loss on sales of securities, and loss related to wire fraud incident. Acquisition-related expenses includes fees associated with

acquisitions and vendor contract buyouts. Severance costs includes costs associated with termination and retirement of employees. Operating

earnings per diluted share includes the adjustments to operating net income. Tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to

tangible assets and operating return on average tangible equity exclude goodwill and other intangibles from book value per common share,

total equity to total assets and return on average equity, respectively. Pre-provision net revenue is calculated by adding noninterest income to

net interest income before provision for credit losses, and subtracting noninterest expense.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes these presentations provide

useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance, and if not provided would be requested by the

investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and

performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other

financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of

items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated

under GAAP, and investors should consider Colony Bankcorp, Inc. performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other

relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. Non-GAAP financial measures have

limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial

condition as reported under GAAP.
