Current report
•Despite a reduction in the average cost of interest bearing deposits from 2.16% to 2.10% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter, the average cost of total deposits remained flat at 1.35% due to a reduction in non-interest bearing deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits continued to make up a strong portion of total deposits at 35.9% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 36.7% as of December 31, 2025.
Current report
•Total deposits were $3.428 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $3.416 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $12.6 million, due largely to inflows from existing customers as well as new relationships to the Bank in the first quarter. This growth excludes the additional $27.3 million in one-way sell deposits that were held off-balance sheet at March 31, 2026.
Current report
•Loans totaled $2.116 billion as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $5.1 million from December 31, 2025. Loan fundings during first quarter of 2026 were $60.8 million compared to $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
•During the quarter, we worked diligently to improve our credit quality. We sold our longest tenured classified and non-accrual loans totaling $16.3 million, which were downgraded to substandard in 2021, and moved to non-accrual in 2024. At that time, we took specific reserves of $7.3 million based on property valuations. The note sales proceeds validated our reserve assumptions, with the charge-offs equaling the specific amounts reserved. While other workouts were offset by new downgrades, the impact of the note sales on credit quality metrics was substantial: Non-accrual loans declined from 1.27% of assets to 0.41%, and the ratio of classified to total loans decreased from 1.51% to 0.85%. Notably, following the note sales virtually all remaining non-accrual balances are comprised of one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan that has no loss expectations based on underlying valuation and cash flow.
Current report
•There was no provision for credit losses on loans in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a provision of $300 thousand in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses was 1.08% and 1.42% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively due to the $7.2 million of charge‑offs taken against the specific reserves on the two loans sold, noted above. The charge-offs were fully offset by specific reserves already in place. All other factors considered, no provision was recorded for the period.
Current report
•Return on average assets ("ROA") and return on average equity ("ROE") was 0.87%, and 8.67%, respectively, and increased on a GAAP basis from the prior quarter primarily due to increased net income. ROA and ROE on a non-GAAP basis both decreased slightly from the prior quarter mainly due to decreased non-GAAP income quarter over quarter. The efficiency ratio on a non-GAAP basis, from the prior quarter slightly worsened from last quarter due to increased non-interest expense, mainly within salaries and related benefits and due to the annual charitable contributions in the first quarter of 2026.
Current report
First Quarter of 2026 compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2025
Current report
Net interest income totaled $30.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, a $521 thousand increase from the prior quarter. This was driven by an increase of $63.4 million in average earning assets including a $42.5 million increase in average investment securities, combined with a 45 basis point increase in average yield on investment securities, resulting in a $1.9 million increase in investment securities interest income.
Current report
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.24% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 3.18% for the prior quarter. The repositioning of securities added 21 basis points to the margin during the first quarter. This was partially offset by lower average interest-earning deposit balances at the Federal Reserve Bank and lower rates due to Federal Reserve rate cuts of 25 basis points in both October and December of 2025, that decreased the margin by 4 basis points, lower average loan yields during the quarter impacted by an interest recovery in the fourth quarter of $667 thousand and by approximately $195 million in loans tied to prime or SOFR whose rates declined quarter over quarter that decreased the margin by 5 basis points, and average subordinated note costs for the full quarter that decreased the margin by 5 basis points.
Current report
First Three Months of 2026 compared to the First Three Months of 2025
Current report
Primarily due to declining inflation, the Federal Reserve lowered the target for the federal funds rate by 100 basis points, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% in the later months of 2024. Following a pause of approximately nine months, the FOMC resumed decreasing rates in September 2025, and made a total of three rate decreases in 2025 ending the year at a range of 3.50% to 3.75%
Current report
We recorded no provision for credit losses on loans in the first quarter of 2026. Non-accrual loans declined significantly during the quarter to $8.6 million, or 0.41% of the loan portfolio, at March 31, 2026, compared to $26.9 million, or 1.27%, at December 31, 2025 driven primarily by the resolution through sale of two non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2026.
Current report
We recorded a $300 thousand provision for credit losses on loans in the three months ending December 31, 2025, due primarily to loan growth and modest deterioration in the economic forecast.
Current report
First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2025
Current report
Non-interest income was $3.8 million for the first three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.9 million for the same period of the prior year. The $1.0 million increase from the prior year period was primarily attributed to the increase of $480 thousand earned in dividends including a special dividend on Federal Home Loan Bank stock received and an increase of $411 thousand earned on bank-owned life insurance death benefits in 2026.
Current report
First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2025
Current report
Non-interest expense totaled $22.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $20.0 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $2.5 million. This was primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in salaries and related benefits. Consistent with annual adjustments and our compensation cycle, expense increases included updated incentive bonus accruals, 401(k) contribution matching, profit sharing accruals, and stock-based compensation grants. There were increases of $355 thousand in charitable contributions due to annual grants, $195 thousand in data processing, $191 thousand in FDIC insurance, and $59 thousand in other expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease of $248 thousand in professional services in the first quarter of 2026.
Current report
Non-interest expense totaled $22.5 million for the first three months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $20.4 million for the same period of 2025, an increase of $2.1 million. This was primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in salaries and benefits, an increase of $342 thousand in FDIC insurance due to a higher invoice related to the balance sheet repositioning, and $156 thousand in professional services expense in the first three months of 2026.
Current report
The investment securities portfolio totaled $1.326 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1.6 million from $1.328 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to principal repayments and calls/maturities totaling $54.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and an increase of $7.6 million in unrealized losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") securities, partially offset by purchases of AFS securities of $65.2 million.
Current report
Loans totaled $2.116 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $2.121 billion as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $5.1 million, compared to a decrease of $9.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current report
Loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $80.5 million ($60.8 million funded) compared to $141.0 million ($106.5 million funded) in the prior quarter and $63.6 million ($47.4 million funded) in the first quarter of 2025. Despite the first quarter being a histo rically lower production period, 2026 had the strongest first quarter of originations since 2015.
Current report
There were significant improvements to our credit quality in the first quarter of 2026 including non-accrual balances, classified loan balances and past due loan balances. Non-accrual loans declined by $18.3 million during the quarter to $8.6 million, or 0.41% of total loans, compared to $26.9 million, or 1.27%, at December 31, 2025. The reduction was driven primarily by the sale of the two non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $16.3 million. The remaining $8.6 million of non-accrual loans consists primarily of one $8.2 million non‑owner occupied commercial real estate relationship which continues to exhibit conforming loan‑to‑value and debt service coverage metrics but remains on non-accrual due to an ongoing dispute related to extension terms following its late 2023 maturity.
Current report
Classified loans declined by $14.2 million during the first quarter to $17.9 million, down from $32.1 million at December 31, 2025. The improvement was driven primarily by the sale of the two non‑owner occupied commercial real estate loans previously discussed, along with payoffs totaling $2.4 million on two additional loans. These positive trends were partially offset by the downgrade of two non‑owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $5.7 million into the classified category. Overall, asset quality metrics improved during the quarter, and we remain disciplined and proactive in our credit management approach with close monitoring and active resolution efforts across the portfolio.
Current report
Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled$683 thousand at March 31, 2026, down from$2.8 million at December 31, 2025.
Current report
Loans designated as special mention, which are not considered adversely classified, remained relatively stable at $119.4 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $118.0 million at December 31, 2025. The $1.4 million net increase reflects $6.0 million in upgrades, $5.7 million in downgrades out of the category and $2.8 million in contractual amortization and payoffs, partially offset by five relationships totaling $15.4 million that migrated into special mention.
Current report
Net charge-offs totaled $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $64 thousand in the prior quarter. Approximately $7.2 million of the charge‑offs were related to the two non-accrual loans that were sold, as previously discussed. These charge‑offs were fully offset by specific reserves that were already in place for the two loans.
Current report
Note: Off-balance sheet one-way sell deposits totaling $78.5 million not included above.

•Total deposits were $3.383 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $3.220 billion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $162.6 million. The primary recipient of the deposit growth was money market accounts which increased by $144.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We continue to manage targeted deposit interest rate reductions that are aligned with customer relationship pricing policies and expected Federal Reserve interest rate reductions.

The average cost of total deposits was 1.28% for the first nine months of 2025, compared to 1.43% in 2024, an improvement of 15 basis points, primarily due to internal deposit rate reductions in anticipation to and in response to Federal Reserve interest rate reductions.

Previous report
Third Quarter of 2025 compared to the Second Quarter of 2025
Previous report
Net interest income totaled $28.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, a $2.3 million increase from the prior quarter. This was driven by an increase of $78.7 million in average earning assets and the reinvestment of securities sold in the second quarter at higher rates.
Previous report
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.08% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 2.93% for the prior quarter. The repositioning of securities in the second quarter continued to improve the margin in the third quarter adding 13 basis points to the margin. Higher average interest-earning deposit balances with the Federal Reserve Bank increased the margin by 10 basis points. The average balance of loans during the quarter decreased from prior quarter, contributing negatively to the linked quarter margin variance, reducing it by 6 basis points in the third quarter.

In response to the evolving risks to economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the FOMC made two emergency federal funds rate cuts totaling 150 basis points in March 2020. The federal funds rate range remained between 0.0% and 0.25% through the beginning of 2022, putting downward pressure on our asset yields and net

Page-39 interest margin. The FOMC began increasing rates in March 2022, totaling seven rate increases in 2022 and four additional rate increases in 2023, and ended the year of 2023 at a federal funds target rate range between 5.25% and 5.50%. Rising interest rates resulted in rapid increases in the cost of funds through rising deposit costs and increased average borrowings, putting pressure on our net interest margin. Because market interest rates remained high for longer than many market participants anticipated, during 2023, 2024 and 2025, we sold available-for-sale securities with relatively low yields and redeployed the proceeds to pay off borrowings, invest in higher yielding loans and securities, and position the balance sheet for future acquisitions of similar assets. This is a strategy that we continue to evaluate for the future.
Previous report
We recorded no provision for credit losses on loans in the third quarter nor in the prior quarter of 2025. The third quarter included updates to the discounted cash flow modeling assumptions to reflect an updated peer group that includes Bank of Marin, which is used to calculate loan loss rates and allowances in the model and by revised risk factor assumptions, which had the effect of lowering the provision. This was offset by a marginal deterioration in estimated statewide unemployment and GDP forecasts, resulting in no adjustment.
Previous report
We recorded a provision totaling $5.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to an increase to the individual reserve of $5.2 million for one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan totaling $16.7 million placed on non-accrual during the second quarter of 2024. The remainder of the provision recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due toadjustments to certain qualitative risk factors to account for continued negative trends in adversely graded loans for our non-owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios, as well as adjustments to the discounted cash flow modeling assumptions to reflect revised estimated default timing and increased California unemployment forecasts. This was partially offset by the impact of a decrease in our pooled loans and changes in our loan mix.

Non-interest loss was $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $24.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The $14.1 million reduction in losses from the prior year period was primarily attributed to a reduction of $13.8 million in pre-tax losses on the sale of AFS securities. We sold AFS securities with a book value of $185.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $18.7 million, in the first nine months of 2025, and sold AFS securities with a book value of $293.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $32.5 million, in the first nine months of 2024. Excluding the loss on AFS securities sales, non-interest income was $8.7 million and $8.4 million for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, all other factors unchanged, which was largely due to an increase of $306 thousand earned on bank-owned life insurance death benefits in 2025.

In response to current market conditions, we continue to closely monitor our portfolio for signs of potential weakness to ensure proactive risk management and actively work towards a resolution on our classified loans. Classified loans increased to $49.4 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $45.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The $4.3 million increase was largely due to net downgrades of $10.7 million, partially offset by payoffs and paydowns of $4.3 million and the sale of a $2.1 million non-owner occupied real estate loan.

Loans designated special mention, which are not considered adversely classified, decreased by $20.4 million to $88.5 million as of September 30, 2025, from $108.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was largely due to $17.1 million in downgrades to substandard risk rating and contractual paydowns and payoffs totaling $27.2 million, offset by downgrades from pass/watch to special mention loans of $14.9 million and upgrades from classified loans of $9.1 million. Of the loans designated special mention, 99.6% were real estate secured.

•The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.08% in the third quarter of 2025 from 2.93% in the prior quarter. The repositioning of securities added 13 basis points to the margin and the higher average interest-earning deposit balances at the Federal Reserve Bank increased the margin by 10 basis points, partially offset by lower average loan balances during the third quarter and the slight increase in cost of deposits. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, improved 39 basis points over the same period of the prior year due the increase in deposits at a decreased average cost, higher average loan rates, and the favorable impact of the securities repositioned in the second quarter of 2025, which resulted in higher yielding assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Current wording
•The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.24% in the first quarter of 2026 from 3.18% in the prior quarter, an improvement of 6 basis points. The increase was largely due to the effects of the securities repositioning in the fourth quarter of 2025, which provided a 21 basis point increase in annualized net interest margin for the first quarter over the prior quarter. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 improved 47 basis points over the same period of the prior year due to the increase in deposits at a decreased average cost, higher average loan balances and rates, and the favorable impact of the securities repositioned in the second and fourth quarters of 2025, which resulted in higher yielding assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Non-interest income was $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to the loss of $15.6 million for the prior quarter. The increase of $18.4 million from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to securities repositioning during the second quarter of 2025.

Excluding the loss on securities sales, non-interest income was $3.1 million for prior quarter, all other factors unchanged. The adjusted decrease of $370 thousand in the third quarter was primarily attributed to the $238 thousand death benefit received on bank owned life insurance in the second quarter, not repeated in the third quarter.

Our contingency funding plan provides for early detection of potential liquidity issues in the market or the Bank and institutes prompt responses that may prevent or alleviate a liquidity crisis. Management monitors liquidity daily and regularly adjusts our position based on current and future liquidity needs. We also have relationships with third-party deposit networks and can adjust the placement of our deposits via reciprocal or one-way sales as part of our cash management strategy.

We also have relationships with third-party deposit networks and can adjust the placement of our deposits via reciprocal or one-way sales as part of our cash management strategy.

Because Bancorp is a holding company and does not conduct regular banking operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. Under the California Financial Code, payment of a dividend from the Bank to Bancorp without advance regulatory approval is restricted to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or the amount of the Bank’s net profits from the previous three fiscal years less the amount of dividends paid during that period. Dividends in excess of that amount may be paid with prior approval of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ("DFPI"). On May 30, 2025, the Bank received approval from the State of California - DFPI for a dividend of $32.0 million which was paid to Bancorp on May 30, 2025. The primary uses of funds for

Previous wording
Financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP and with reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that, given industry turmoil that largely began in the first quarter of 2023, the presentation of Bancorp's non-GAAP TCE ratio reflecting the after tax impact of unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities provides useful supplemental information to investors because it reflects the level of capital remaining after a hypothetical liquidation of the entire securities portfolio. In addition, management believes that providing selected financial measures excluding the loss on sale of securities discussed above is useful to investors as the strategic short-term loss taken for long-term profitability makes the operational performance difficult to compare to other periods. Because there are limits to the usefulness of this or any other non-GAAP measure to investors, Bancorp encourages readers to consider its annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto in their entirety, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to comparable non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.
