“Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In its 20 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 34 full-service banking branches at September 30, 2025, with 16 locations in California, one in Nevada, one in Washington, five in New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Dollar amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented to the nearest thousands of dollars except per share amounts. If the amounts are above $1.0 million, they are rounded one decimal point, and if they are above $1.0 billion, they are rounded two decimal points. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity. NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280) – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhanced interim disclosure requirements, clarifying circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, providing new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., starting with the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The disclosure requirements of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 18—Segment Information. ​ Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) – In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to provide additional transparency into an entity’s income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard requires that public business entities disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items meeting a certain quantitative threshold. The amendments also require that entities disclose on an annual basis: 1) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and 2) the income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions exceeding 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of this update and does not expect them to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ​ In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 to clarify how entities should determine whether profits interest and similar awards granted in exchanges for services fall within the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock 10 Table of Contents Compensation, or Topic 710, Compensation – General . The amendments include illustrative examples to assist entities in evaluating the substance of such awards and determining the appropriate accounting treatment. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of this update and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. ​ In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to address investor requests for more detailed information about certain expense types. The new standard requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are required to adopt the amendments prospectively. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date, to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ​ In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transaction within the scope of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments introduce a practical expedient that allows entities to assume that conditions existing as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset, and for entities other than public business entities, permit the use of subsequent cash collections when estimating credit losses.

At December 31, 2024, the Company held 352 investment securities, of which 212 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 53 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. Allowance for credit losses on investment debt securities available-for-sale ​ Investment debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025 were evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or changes in required yields by investors in these types of securities, among other factors. This assessment first includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. In making this assessment, management considers the nature of the security and any related government guarantees, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, the financial conditions and prospects of the issuer, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. As of September 30, 2025, the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its securities, the Company has no present intent to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost and the decline in fair value is largely attributed to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments. No allowances for credit losses have been recognized on investment debt securities AFS in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality at September 30, 2025. Equity Securities ​ 13 Table of Contents The Company recognized a net gain on equity securities of $ 771,000 and $ 523,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 1.4 million and $ 1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Equity securities were $ 13.3 million and $ 13.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOTE 4 – LOANS The Company’s loan portfolio at the dates indicated is summarized below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, December 31, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 Commercial and industrial ​ $ 177,250 ​ $ 173,948 Construction and land ​ 5,124 ​ 1,515 Commercial real estate ​ 1,743,268 ​ 1,667,231 Residential ​ 115,292 ​ 109,662 Consumer ​ 749 ​ 391 Total loans ​ 2,041,683 ​ 1,952,747 Net deferred loan costs ​ 654 ​ 149 Allowance for credit losses ​ ( 20,800 ) ​ ( 17,900 ) Net loans ​ $ 2,021,537 ​ $ 1,934,996 ​ Net loans exclude accrued interest receivable of $ 6.5 million and $ 6.7 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in interest receivable and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

These modifications may result in an interest rate reduction, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a combination thereof. The Company typically does not offer principal forgiveness. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of modification. The effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses on loans because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. A summary of previously modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of concession and type of loan, as of the dates indicated, is set forth below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Number of Rate Term Rate & term ​ ​ ​ % of Total ​ ​ loans ​ modification ​ modification ​ modification ​ Total ​ loans outstanding September 30, 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial and industrial 2 ​ $ — ​ $ 91 ​ $ — ​ $ 91 ​ ​ 0.05 % Construction and land — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — % Commercial real estate 2 ​ — ​ 632 ​ — ​ 632 ​ 0.04 % Residential 1 ​ — ​ ​ 710 ​ — ​ 710 ​ 0.62 % Consumer — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — % Total 5 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,433 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,433 ​ ​ 0.07 % ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Number of Rate Term Rate & term ​ ​ ​ % of Total ​ ​ loans ​ modification ​ modification ​ modification ​ Total ​ loans outstanding December 31, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial and industrial 2 ​ $ — ​ $ 97 ​ $ — ​ $ 97 ​ ​ 0.06 % Construction and land — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — % Commercial real estate 3 ​ — ​ 1,846 ​ — ​ 1,846 ​ 0.11 % Residential 1 ​ — ​ ​ 747 ​ — ​ 747 ​ 0.68 % Consumer — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — % Total 6 ​ $ — ​ $ 2,690 ​ $ — ​ $ 2,690 ​ ​ 0.14 % ​ For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded no charge-offs for modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded no charge-offs and $ 1.3 million of charge-offs related to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, respectively. ​ As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, individually evaluated modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty had no related allowance and an allowance of $ 24,000 , respectively. At both dates , none of the modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were performing in accordance with their modified terms. All accruing modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, if any, are included in the loans individually evaluated in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses. ​ Risk Rating System The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of the loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics. The Company’s Pass loans include loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk. 15 Table of Contents Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics: Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Special Mention is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded. Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations: ● Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset; ● Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and ● Adverse financial trends. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard. Some characteristics of Substandard loans are: ● Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow; ● Chronic delinquency; ● Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment; ● Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt; ● Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral; ● Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral; ● Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and ● The borrower is bankrupt, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit. Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations in the tables below and are presented by year of initial origination.

Nonaccrual loans guaranteed by a government agency, which reduces the Company’s credit exposure, were $ 946,000 at September 30, 2025 compared to $ 2.0 million at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, nonaccrual loans included $ 8,000 of loans 30-89 days past due and $ 8.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At December 31, 2024, nonaccrual loans included $ 643,000 of loans 30-89 days past due and no loans less than 30 days past due. The increase in nonaccrual loans reflects borrower-specific credit deterioration, primarily within the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios. ​ At September 30, 2025, the $ 8,000 nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due was comprised of two loans and the $ 8.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due was comprised of 18 loans. All these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers. ​ At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were two loans and one loan 90 days or more past due and still accruing, with balances of $ 395,000 and $ 220,000 at those dates, respectively. ​ Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $ 257,000 and $ 896,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 397,000 and $ 1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was approximately $ 70,000 and $ 136,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 7,400 and $ 93,600 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. ​ Pledged Loans Our FHLB line of credit is secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of certain qualifying loans with unpaid principal balances of $ 1.06 billion and $ 1.04 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $ 79.7 million and $ 76.7 million of loans were pledged to 19 Table of Contents the FRB of San Francisco, respectively.

Net charge-offs were $ 833,000 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $ 1.5 million for the same period in 2024. ​ For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses and the related change in the allowance for credit losses on loans were mainly driven by loan growth, an increase in the reserve for pooled loans, replenishment of the allowance during the period and, to a lesser extent, an increase in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on pooled loans primarily reflected higher quantitative reserves resulting from the Company’s annual update to its CECL model methodology. This update incorporated more recent economic data and revised segment-specific peer group comparisons, which together contributed to a higher modeled reserve level. To a lesser extent, the increase also reflected a higher forecasted national unemployment rate, a weaker outlook for national gross domestic product, loan growth during the quarter, and changes in the risk level of one qualitative factor. Net charge-offs totaled $ 948,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $ 3.2 million had been specifically reserved for at December 31, 2023. ​ The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated collateral-dependent loans, including nonaccrual loans, modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and accreting purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans that have experienced post-acquisition declines in cash flows expected to be collected, by loan and collateral type as of the dates indicated. ​ 21 Table of Contents ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Retail and ​ ​ ​ Convalescent ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A/R and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Office Multifamily facility Hotel Other ​ SFR 1-4 Equipment Total ACL September 30, 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial and industrial $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — Construction and land ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Commercial real estate ​ ​ 3,707 ​ — ​ — ​ 12,747 ​ 1,590 ​ — ​ — ​ 18,044 ​ 868 Residential ​ — ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 711 ​ — ​ ​ 711 ​ — Consumer ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Total ​ $ 3,707 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 12,747 ​ $ 1,590 ​ $ 711 ​ $ — ​ $ 18,755 ​ $ 868 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial and industrial $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 954 ​ $ 954 ​ $ 367 Construction and land ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Commercial real estate ​ ​ 466 ​ 77 ​ 1,200 ​ 7,987 ​ 5,695 ​ — ​ — ​ 15,425 ​ 25 Residential ​ — ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 984 ​ — ​ ​ 984 ​ — Consumer ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Total ​ $ 466 ​ $ 77 ​ $ 1,200 ​ $ 7,987 ​ $ 5,695 ​ $ 984 ​ $ 954 ​ $ 17,363 ​ $ 392 ​ The following table shows the amortized cost and allowance for credit losses for loans on nonaccrual status as of the dates indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of September 30, 2025 ​ As of December 31, 2024 ​ ​ Nonaccrual ​ Nonaccrual ​ ​ ​ Nonaccrual ​ Nonaccrual ​ ​ ​ ​ with no allowance ​ with allowance ​ Total ​ with no allowance ​ with allowance ​ Total ​ for credit losses for credit losses nonaccrual for credit losses for credit losses nonaccrual Commercial and industrial $ — ​ $ 863 ​ $ 863 ​ $ — ​ $ 293 ​ $ 293 Construction and land ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Commercial real estate ​ ​ 6,406 ​ 5,455 ​ ​ 11,861 ​ 6,055 ​ 1,792 ​ ​ 7,847 Residential ​ 711 ​ 42 ​ ​ 753 ​ ​ 984 ​ 119 ​ ​ 1,103 Consumer ​ — ​ — ​ ​ — ​ — ​ 4 ​ ​ 4 Total ​ $ 7,117 ​ $ 6,360 ​ $ 13,477 ​ $ 7,039 ​ $ 2,208 ​ $ 9,247 ​ ​ As part of its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) in 2022, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). PEB ceased originating loans under this loan program in 2017. Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower’s contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of 100 % of the loss. The participating lender must return recoveries from the borrower, less expenses, to the credit loss reserve account. The funds in the loss reserve account are the property of CalCAP; however, in the event that the participating lender leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the participating lender and provided there are no pending claims for reimbursement, the remaining excess funds are distributed to CalCAP and the participating lender based on their respective contributions to the loss reserve account. Funds contributed by the participating lender to the loss reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP and evaluated for impairment quarterly. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 10.5 million and $ 17.7 million, respectively, of loans enrolled in this loan program. The Company had a loss reserve account of $ 7.0 million and $ 10.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. ​ In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds 22 Table of Contents the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated loans under this program of $ 3.3 million and $ 12.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $ 3.9 million and $ 8.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $ 21.7 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $ 4.7 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 17.3 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $ 3.8 million. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOTE 6 – PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment consisted of the following at the dates indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, December 31, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 Premises owned ​ $ 11,553 ​ $ 11,462 Leasehold improvements ​ 4,251 ​ 3,602 Furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 10,588 ​ 9,929 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization ​ ( 12,815 ) ​ ( 11,607 ) Total premises and equipment, net ​ $ 13,577 ​ $ 13,386 ​ Depreciation and amortization included in occupancy and equipment expense totaled $ 493,000 and $ 1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $ 528,000 and $ 1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. ​ NOTE 7 – LEASES The Company leased 19 branches under noncancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2025. These leases expire on various dates through 2030. Many of these lease agreements include one or more renewal options, exercisable at the Company’s discretion. When the Company determines at lease commencement that it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option, the extended lease term is included in the measurement of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. ​ The Company uses the discount rate implicit in the lease when it is readily determinable. In instances where the implicit rate is not available, which is typically the case, the Company applies its incremental borrowing rate, determined on a collateralized basis and over a term comparable to the lease term, as of the lease commencement date. ​ The below maturity schedule presents, as of September 30, 2025, the undiscounted lease payments for the next five years and thereafter: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For remainder of 2025 ​ $ 972 2026 ​ ​ 3,751 2027 ​ 3,507 2028 ​ 3,444 2029 ​ ​ 2,990 Thereafter ​ 1,093 Total undiscounted cash flows ​ ​ 15,757 Less: interest ​ ​ ( 1,263 ) Present value of lease payments ​ $ 14,494 ​ ​ 23 Table of Contents The following table presents the weighted average lease term and discount rate at the dates indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2025 ​ December 31, 2024 Weighted-average remaining lease term 4.3 years ​ 4.5 years Weighted-average discount rate 3.9 % ​ 3.8 % ​ The following table presents certain information related to the operating lease costs included in occupancy and equipment expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ Nine months ended ​ September 30, September 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ 2025 ​ 2024 Operating lease cost ​ $ 945 ​ $ 8,093 ​ $ 3,028 ​ $ 15,082 Short-term lease cost ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ 15 Less: Sublease income ​ ( 26 ) ​ ( 32 ) ​ ( 72 ) ​ ( 66 ) Total operating lease cost, net ​ $ 919 ​ $ 8,061 ​ $ 2,956 ​ $ 15,031 ​ ​ ​ NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful life of seven to ten years . Goodwill The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures – In connection with its previous acquisitions, the Company assumed junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, totaling $ 8.7 million, net of fair value adjustments, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.16 % at September 30, 2025, compared to $ 8.6 million, net of fair value adjustments, with a weighted average rate of 7.20 % at December 31, 2024 . The junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures mature in 2034, subject to earlier redemption by the Company at its option. Subordinated debt – On August 10, 2020, the Company issued and sold $ 65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at a public offering price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes initially bore a fixed interest rate of 5.25 % per year. Commencing on September 15, 2025, the interest rate on the Notes was to reset quarterly to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing rate plus a spread of 521 basis points ( 5.21 %), payable quarterly in arrears.

The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of equity incentive awards to employees and directors (including emeritus and advisory directors) of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2024 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance shares and performance units. Factors generally considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards under the 2024 Plan are subject to a minimum vesting period of one year (at least three years for full vesting for the chief executive officer), provided that awards for up to 5 % of the maximum shares available under the 2024 Plan (for any participant other than the chief executive officer) may provide for a shorter vesting period. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2024 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is 500,000 , and awards granted under the 2024 Plan to any one participant in any one calendar year are subject to the following limitations: (i) aggregate grants of stock options or stock appreciation rights to any one participant are subject to an annual limit of the lesser of 100,000 shares or $ 2.0 million in fair market value as of the date of grant; (ii) aggregate grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units to any one participant are subject to an annual limit of the lesser of 50,000 shares or $ 2.0 million in fair market value as of the date of grant; and (iii) aggregate grants of performance shares or performance units to any one participant are subject to an annual limit of the lesser of 50,000 shares or $ 2.0 million in fair market value as of the date of grant. In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2024 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be covered by awards granted under the 2024 Plan to any non-employee director in any one calendar year is 25,000 shares. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 464,178 shares were available for future issuance under the 2024 Plan. ​ 27 Table of Contents 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) in November 2017. The 2017 Plan provides for the awarding by the Company’s Board of Directors of equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. An equity incentive award under the 2017 Plan may be an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock units, stock award, other stock-based award or performance award. Factors considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards have a vesting period of one to five years . Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan is 450,000 . The 2017 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grant limits to officers, employees and directors. The annual stock grant limit per person for officers and employees is the lesser of 50,000 shares or a value of $ 2.0 million, and per person for directors, the maximum is 25,000 shares. All unvested restricted shares outstanding vest in the event of a change in control of the Company. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors generally vest one year from the date of grant. Awards to executive officers typically vest over three - or five-year periods, with initial vesting occurring on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. As of September 30, 2024, no shares remained available for issuance under the 2017 Plan, as the approval of the 2024 Plan by shareholders terminated the ability to grant further awards under the 2017 Plan.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data. 28 Table of Contents Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities AFS. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned and to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with our quarterly valuation process.

However, from time to time, certain loans have individual risk characteristics not consistent with a pool of loans and are individually evaluated for credit reserves. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement are typically individually evaluated. The fair value of individually evaluated loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 3. The Company records foreclosed assets, or other real estate owned (“OREO”), at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based on the collateral value of the property. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from 5 % to 10 %. Such adjustments and assumptions are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The Company had no OREO at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. ​ ​ 30 Table of Contents NOTE 16 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at the dates indicated are presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ Fair ​ Fair value measurements ​ amount value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 September 30, 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Financial assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents ​ $ 228,446 ​ $ 228,446 ​ $ 228,446 ​ $ — ​ $ — Investment securities AFS ​ 187,774 ​ 187,774 ​ — ​ 187,774 ​ — Equity securities ​ ​ 13,307 ​ ​ 13,307 ​ ​ 13,307 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Investment in FHLB and FRB Stock ​ 21,181 ​ 21,181 ​ — ​ 21,181 ​ — Loans held for sale ​ 421 ​ 421 ​ — ​ 421 ​ — Loans, net ​ 2,021,537 ​ 1,985,088 ​ — ​ — ​ 1,985,088 Accrued interest receivable ​ 8,735 ​ 8,735 ​ — ​ 8,735 ​ — Financial liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Deposits ​ 2,228,052 ​ 2,236,544 ​ — ​ 2,236,544 ​ — Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net ​ ​ 8,706 ​ ​ 8,452 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 8,452 Accrued interest payable ​ 2,386 ​ 2,386 ​ — ​ 2,386 ​ — Off-balance sheet liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Undisbursed loan commitments, lines of credit, standby letters of credit ​ 76,811 ​ 76,241 ​ — ​ — ​ 76,241 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ Fair ​ Fair value measurements ​ amount value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 December 31, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Financial assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents ​ $ 364,032 ​ $ 364,032 ​ $ 364,032 ​ $ — ​ $ — Time deposits in banks ​ 249 ​ 249 ​ 249 ​ — ​ — Investment securities AFS ​ 193,328 ​ 193,328 ​ — ​ 193,328 ​ — Equity securities ​ ​ 13,120 ​ ​ 13,120 ​ ​ 13,120 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Investment in FHLB and FRB Stock ​ 20,958 ​ 20,958 ​ — ​ 20,958 ​ — Loans held for sale ​ 2,216 ​ 2,216 ​ — ​ 2,216 ​ — Loans, net ​ 1,934,996 ​ 1,884,134 ​ — ​ — ​ 1,884,134 Accrued interest receivable ​ 8,507 ​ 8,507 ​ — ​ 8,507 ​ — Financial liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Deposits ​ 2,234,009 ​ 2,236,256 ​ — ​ 2,236,256 ​ — Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net ​ 8,645 ​ ​ 8,527 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 8,527 Subordinated debt, net ​ 63,736 ​ 63,736 ​ — ​ ​ 63,736 ​ ​ — Accrued interest payable ​ 3,118 ​ 3,118 ​ — ​ 3,118 ​ — Off-balance sheet liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Undisbursed loan commitments, lines of credit, standby letters of credit ​ 73,414 ​ 72,814 ​ — ​ — ​ 72,814 ​ ​ ​ 31 Table of Contents NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time, we are a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings where we believe the resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on home equity and unsecured personal lines of credit and commercial lines of credit, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients. The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, December 31, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 Commitments to extend credit ​ $ 75,337 ​ $ 72,737 Standby letters of credit ​ 1,474 ​ 677 Total commitments ​ $ 76,811 ​ $ 73,414 ​ Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will likely be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction loans where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The r eserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $ 570,000 at September 30, 2025 and $ 600,000 at December 31, 2024. Commercial Real Estate Concentrations At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability . Other Assets The Company has commitments to fund investments in LIHTC partnerships and an SBIC fund. At September 30, 2025, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $ 4.8 million and $ 122,000 , respectively. At December 31, 2024, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $ 4.7 million and $ 122,000 , respectively. 32 Table of Contents Deposit Concentrations At September 30, 2025, approximately $ 234.0 million, or 11.5 %, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. At December 31, 2024, approximately $ 304.5 million, or 13.6 %, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. Local Agency Deposits and Other Advances In the normal course of business, the Company accepts deposits from local agencies. The Company is required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits in the states of California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the FHLB had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $ 41.1 million as collateral for local agency deposits. ​ NOTE 18 – SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates as one reportable segment: banking operations. The Company’s banking operations generate revenue primarily from loans and securities, deposits, and non-interest income. Loan products generate a significant portion of interest and fee income, while deposit products provide fee and service charge income. The Company also earns interest and dividend income from securities and generates net gains from the sale of loans to third parties. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, salaries and employee benefits, data processing, and occupancy expense typically represent the significant expenses in banking operations. These expenses align with those reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Noncash items, such as depreciation and amortization, are also reflected in both the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements Cash Flows. ​ The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for assessing the financial performance of the Company and allocating resources accordingly. The CODM is provided with consolidated balance sheets, income statements, and net interest margin analyses in order to evaluate revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget-to-actual results in assessing the Company’s segment and determining the allocation of resources, as well as evaluating return on assets. In addition, the CODM utilizes consolidated net income, return on assets, and net interest margin as benchmarks to compare the Company’s performance against competitors. All operations are domestic and align with a single operating segment. Information reported internally for performance assessment by the CODM is identical to that shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. ​ 33 Table of Contents The following table presents the Company’s one operating segment for the periods indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended September 30, ​ Nine months ended September 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest and dividend income $ 34,950 ​ $ 33,426 ​ $ 101,049 ​ $ 97,576 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Reconciliation of revenue: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Other revenues ​ ​ 2,248 ​ ​ 2,745 ​ ​ 5,201 ​ ​ 6,290 Total consolidated revenue ​ ​ 37,198 ​ ​ 36,171 ​ ​ 106,250 ​ ​ 103,866 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest expense ​ ​ 11,541 ​ ​ 10,561 ​ ​ 31,600 ​ ​ 30,009 Segment net interest income and noninterest income ​ ​ 25,657 ​ ​ 25,610 ​ ​ 74,650 ​ ​ 73,857 Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Provision for credit losses ​ ​ 2,973 ​ ​ 1,245 ​ ​ 3,818 ​ ​ 1,668 Salaries and employee benefits ​ ​ 10,168 ​ ​ 9,569 ​ ​ 29,831 ​ ​ 29,247 Occupancy and equipment ​ ​ 2,143 ​ ​ 2,209 ​ ​ 6,462 ​ ​ 6,496 Data processing ​ ​ 2,038 ​ ​ 1,973 ​ ​ 5,804 ​ ​ 5,376 Other segment items ​ ​ 1,597 ​ ​ 2,323 ​ ​ 5,592 ​ ​ 7,038 Provision for income taxes ​ ​ 1,731 ​ ​ 2,274 ​ ​ 6,070 ​ ​ 6,538 Segment net income/consolidated net income ​ $ 5,007 ​ $ 6,017 ​ $ 17,073 ​ $ 17,494 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Reconciliation of assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets for reportable segment ​ $ 2,603,787 ​ $ 2,664,508 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Other assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total consolidated assets ​ $ 2,603,787 ​ $ 2,664,508 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that no events have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. ​
