Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements** **
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
| ● | statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; |
|---|
| ● | statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; |
|---|
| ● | statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and |
|---|
| ● | estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. |
|---|
These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of the management of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) and Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.
The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
| ● | changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and liquidity requirements; |
| ● | local, regional, national and international economic conditions or macroeconomic instability (including any economic slowdown or recession, inflation, interest rate changes, credit loss trends, unemployment, changes in housing or securities markets, or other factors) and the impact of the same on Eagle and its customers; |
| ● | volatility, disruption, or uncertainty in national and international financial markets, including as a result of geopolitical developments; |
| ● | the effects of any U.S. federal government shutdown, closures or significant staff reductions in agencies regulating or otherwise impacting Eagle's business; |
| ● | the impact of any new regulatory, policy, or enforcement developments resulting from the change in U.S. presidential administration, including the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies, including any reciprocal tariffs by foreign countries; |
| ● | competition among depository and other traditional and non-traditional financial service providers; |
| ● | risks related to the concentration of our business in Montana, including risks associated with changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana; |
| ● | inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments or reduces loan demand; |
| ● | our ability to attract deposits and other sources of funding or liquidity; |
| ● | possible changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies, or any leadership changes of those determining such policies; |
| ● | volatility in Eagle's stock price due to investor sentiment and perception of the banking industry; |
| ● | the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions, customer behavior, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on economic conditions and our business; |
| ● | an inability to access capital markets or maintain deposits or borrowing costs; |
| ● | our ability to assess and monitor the effect of evolving uses of artificial intelligence on our business and operations; |
| ● | our ability to navigate differing environmental, social, governmental, and sustainability concerns among governmental administrations, our stakeholders, and other activists that may arise from our business activities; |
| ● | changes or volatility in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of our investment securities and goodwill; |
| ● | our ability to implement our growth strategy, including identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions, raising additional capital to finance such transactions, entering new markets, possible failures in realizing the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions and an inability of our personnel, systems and infrastructure to keep pace with such growth; |
| ● | unforeseen events, such as pandemics or natural disasters, and any governmental or societal responses thereto; |
| ● | the effect of acquisitions we may make, if any, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; |
| ● | potential impairment on the goodwill we have recorded or may record in connection with business acquisitions; |
| ● | our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; |
| ● | the need to retain capital for strategic or regulatory reasons; |
| ● | changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; |
| ● | our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans; |
| ● | our ability to implement new technologies and maintain secure and reliable technology systems; |
| ● | our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable information technology systems, effectively defend ourselves against cyberattacks, or recover from breaches to our cybersecurity infrastructure; |
| ● | the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates; |
| ● | changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and |
| ● | the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters. |
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.
