Bank of Marin Bancorp 10-Q

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Management's discussion of the financial condition and results of operations, which is unaudited, should be read in conjunction with the related unaudited consolidated interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Average balances, including balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances. Forward-Looking Statements The discussion of financial results in this Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act"). Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results. Our forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans or objectives of management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs preceded by "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may." Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues that may impact Bancorp's earnings in future periods. Factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and the economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including economic or other disruptions to financial markets, acts of terrorism, war or other conflicts, impacts from inflation, supply chain disruptions, changes in interest rates (including the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to control inflation), California's unemployment rate, deposit flows, real estate values, and expected future cash flows on loans and securities; the impact of adverse developments at other banks, including bank failures, that impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; costs or effects of acquisitions; competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; natural disasters (such as wildfires and earthquakes in our area); adverse weather conditions; interruptions of utility service in our markets for sustained periods; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors (including external fraud and cybersecurity threats) affecting our operations, pricing, products and services; and successful integration of acquisitions. Important factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in our prior forward-looking statements are detailed in ITEM 1A, Risk Factors section of our 2025 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, and ITEM 1A Risk Factors herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Critical Accounting Estimates Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation and uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We consider accounting estimates to be critical to our financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, (ii) management could have applied different assumptions during the reported period, and (iii) changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur in the future and could have a material impact on our financial statements. Our critical estimates include: Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments, and Fair Value Measurements. Refer to Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K for more information. Page-27 Executive Summary Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $8.5 million, compared to net income of $4.9 million for the same quarter in the prior year, and a quarterly loss of $39.5 million in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the losses on sale of securities of $69.5 million net of taxes, net income was $9.4 million for the prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share was $0.53 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the same quarter in the prior year. Diluted loss per share was $(2.49) for the prior quarter and on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the losses on sale of securities of $69.5 million net of taxes, diluted earnings per share was $0.59 for the prior quarter. Comparable (non-GAAP) Excluding Loss on Sale of Securities Three months ended (in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 Pre-tax, pre-provision net income (loss) Pre-tax, pre-provision net income (loss) (GAAP) $ 11,597 $ (56,890) $ 6,556 Comparable pre-tax, net income (non-GAAP) 1 11,597 12,576 6,556 Net income (loss) Net income (loss) (GAAP) 8,510 (39,541) 4,876 Comparable net income (non-GAAP) 1 8,510 9,391 4,876 Diluted earnings (loss) per share Diluted earnings (loss) per share (GAAP) 0.53 (2.49) 0.30 Comparable diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) 1 0.53 0.59 0.30 1 Non-GAAP ratios exclude the loss on security sales, and all other factors unchanged. See complete Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below Related tax benefit calculated using blended statutory rate of 29.56% The following are highlights of our operating and financial performance for the periods presented. Additional performance details can be found on the pages that follow. • 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. • 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. • 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. • Net available contingent funding sources, including unrestricted cash, unencumbered available-for-sale securities and total available borrowing capacity was $2.185 billion, or 64% of total deposits and 221% of estimated uninsured and/or uncollateralized deposits as of March 31, 2026. • 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. Page-28 • 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. • 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. Performance and other financial ratios: The following table summarizes GAAP and non-GAAP results for return on average assets ("ROA"), return on average equity ("ROE") and the efficiency ratio for comparable periods. All GAAP ratios were significantly impacted by the securities sales in the fourth quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP ratios exclude the loss on security sales, with all other factors unchanged. See Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below. Comparable (non-GAAP) Excluding Loss on Sale of Securities Three months ended (unaudited) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 Return on average assets Return on average assets (GAAP) 0.87 % (4.00) % 0.53 % Comparable return on average assets (non-GAAP) 1 0.87 % 0.95 % 0.53 % Return on average equity Return on average equity (GAAP) 8.67 % (36.79) % 4.52 % Comparable return on average equity (non-GAAP) 1 8.67 % 8.74 % 4.52 % Efficiency ratio Efficiency ratio (GAAP) 66.03 % (54.31) % 75.72 % Comparable efficiency ratio (non-GAAP )1 66.03 % 61.42 % 75.72 % 1 Non-GAAP ratios exclude the loss on security sales, and all other factors unchanged. See complete Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below Related tax benefit calculated using blended statutory rate of 29.56% • 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. • Capital was above well-capitalized regulatory thresholds with Bancorp's and the Bank's total risk-based capital ratios of 15.26% and 14.09%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. Our capital plan and point-in-time capital stress tests indicate that Bank of Marin and Bancorp capital ratios will remain above regulatory well-capitalized and internal policy minimums throughout a five-year forecast horizon and across stress scenarios such as additional unrealized losses on the investment portfolio, additional deposit growth or decline, loan credit quality deterioration, and potential share repurchases. • Bancorp's tangible common equity to tangible assets ("TCE ratio") was 8.33% as of March 31, 2026, and the Bank's TCE ratio was 8.70%. Page-29 • The Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on April 23, 2026, which represents the 84 th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by Bancorp. The dividend is payable on May 14, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 7, 2026. 1 Refer to the discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure in the section below entitled S tatement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Refer to the reconciliation of common equity to tangible common equity and resulting calculation of tangible book value per share in the section below entitled Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Page-31 Net Interest Income Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets minus the interest expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is impacted by changes in general market interest rates and by changes in the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest income and/or margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing and maturity of assets and liabilities. We manage interest rate risk exposure with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on net interest income. For more information, refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q. Net interest margin is expressed as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on total interest-bearing liabilities. Both of these measures are reported on a taxable-equivalent basis. Net interest margin is the higher of the two because it reflects interest income earned on assets funded with non-interest-bearing sources of funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. Average Statements of Condition and Analysis of Net Interest Income The following table compares interest income, average interest-earning assets, interest expense, and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented. The tables also present net interest income, net interest margin and net interest rate spread for each period reported.

Investment security interest is earned on 30/360 day basis monthly. 3 Yields and interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the Federal statutory rate of 21 percent. 4 Average balances on loans outstanding include non-performing loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield. 5 Net loan origination costs in interest income totaled $398 thousand, $452 thousand, and $364 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Page-32 The following table presents the effects of changes in average balances (volume) or changes in average rates on tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods indicated. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balances multiplied by prior period rates. Rate variances are equal to the increase or decrease in rates multiplied by prior period average balances. Mix variances are attributable to the change in yields or rates multiplied by the change in average balances, including two days less in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025.

First Quarter of 2026 compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2025 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 in terest income. 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. First Three Months of 2026 compared to the First Three Months of 2025 Net interest income totaled $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $24.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The $6.2 million increase from the prior year was primarily due to higher yields in reinvested securities and loans. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.77% for the same period in the prior year. The increase of 47 basis points was primarily attributed to the investment securities restructuring performed in both 2024 and 2025, higher loan yields and balances, lower deposit costs, and higher interest-earning deposit balances with the Federal Reserve. Market Interest Rates Market interest rates are, in part, based on the target federal funds interest rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowings) implemented by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). Page-33 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% During the second and fourth quarters of 2025, we sold additional securities with relatively low yields and redeployed the proceeds to further reposition our balance sheet, by investing in higher yielding securities. Management and the Board are continuously monitoring and analyzing the impact of market rates on the Company's financial condition and results of operations to enhance performance, safety and soundness and returns to shareholders. See ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk for further information. Provision for Credit Losses on Loans Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans quarterly based on several factors including growth of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate expected losses over the contractual terms of our loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans is increased by provisions charged to expense and loss recoveries and decreased by loans charged off. The following table shows provisions charged to expense during the periods presented. Three months ended (dollars in thousands) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 Provision for credit losses on loans $ — $ 300 $ 75 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. 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. We recorded a $75 thousand provision for credit losses on loans in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Modest deterioration in the economic forecast and the effects from charge-offs in the first quarter of 2025, and the pooled and individual total loan balance declines in the first quarter of 2025, contributed to the provision that was recorded.

The increase of $70.5 million from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2025. We sold available-for-sale securities ("AFS") with a book value of $593.2 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million, as part of our strategy to improve future earnings and increase return on equity. Excluding the loss on securities sales, non-interest income was $2.8 million for the prior quarter, all other factors unchanged. The adjusted increase of $1 million in the first quarter was primarily attributed to the increase of $483 thousand earned in dividends including a special dividend on Federal Home Loan Bank stock received and the $479 thousand death benefit received on bank owned life insurance in the first quarter. See the non-GAAP disclosure below. First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025 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. Page-35 Non-interest Expense The following table details the components of non-interest expense.

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. First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025 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. Page-36 Provision for Income Taxes Income tax provisions reflect accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income. Provisions also reflect permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes (such as earnings on tax exempt loans and municipal securities, bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), low-income housing tax credits, and stock-based compensation from the exercise of stock options, disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards). The income tax provision for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $3.1 million at an effective tax rate of 26.6%, compared to a benefit of $17.8 million at an effective tax rate of 31.1% in the prior quarter. The increase in the provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2026 reflected higher pre-tax income as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the treatment of certain permanent tax differences while in a loss position for the prior quarter. The income tax provision for the first three months of 2026 totaled $3.1 million at an effective tax rate of 26.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $1.6 million at an effective tax rate of 24.8% for the first three months of 2025. The increase in the provision for incomes taxes and effective tax rate in the first three months of 2026, as compared to the same period a year ago, was primarily due to an increase of $5.1 million in pre-tax income. On June 27, 2025, Senate Bill 132 (“SB 132”) was passed and signed into law by Governor Newsom. Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, SB 132 amends California Revenue & Tax Code (“CRTC”) to require financial institutions to apportion income using the single sales factor formula. Prior to this change, these businesses were required by CRTC Sec. 25128(b) to use an evenly weighted three-factor apportionment formula contemplating a payroll factor, property factor, and sales factor. This law does not have a material impact on the company’s tax expense as of March 31, 2026. On July 4, 2025, the Trump Administration signed and enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("the Act") into law. Except for certain provisions, the Act is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The tax and spending legislation permanently extends key business tax breaks originally enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The company evaluated the impact of the Act on income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related valuation allowances. This law did not have a material impact on the company's tax expense as of March 31, 2026. We file a consolidated return in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and combined returns in the states of California and New Jersey tax jurisdictions. There were no ongoing federal or state income tax examinations at the time of the issuance of this report. As of March 31, 2026, neither the Bank nor Bancorp had accruals for interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Page-37 FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $236.6 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $11.3 million compared to $225.3 million at December 31, 2025, driven by proceeds from paydowns and maturities of investment securities of $59.2 million, growth in deposits totaling $12.6 million and proceeds from the sale of loans of $9.1 million, partially offset by purchases of investment securities of $65.2 million and dividends of $4.0 million to shareholders. Investment Securities 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. The portfolio is eligible for pledging to FHLB or the Federal Reserve as collateral for borrowing, and is comprised of high credit quality investments with an average effective duration of 2.90. The portfolio generates cash flows monthly from interest, principal amortization and payoffs, which supports the Bank's liquidity. Those cash flows totaled $73.4 million and $84.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 4, Investment Securities, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. The following table summarizes our investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Our investment in obligations issued by municipal issuers in Texas are either guaranteed by the AAA rated Texas Permanent School Fund ("PSF") or backed by revenue sources from essential services (such as utilities and transportation). Investments in states, municipalities and political subdivisions are subject to an initial pre-purchase credit assessment and ongoing monitoring. Key considerations include: • The soundness of a municipality’s budgetary position and stability of its tax revenues • Debt profile and level of unfunded liabilities, diversity of revenue sources, taxing authority of the issuer • Local demographics/economics including unemployment data, largest taxpayers and local employers, income indices and home values • For revenue bonds, the source and strength of revenue for municipal authorities including the obligor’s financial condition and reserve levels, annual debt service and debt coverage ratio, and credit enhancement (such as insurer’s strength and collateral in escrow accounts) • Credit ratings by major credit rating agencies Page-38 Loans and Credit Quality 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. Three months ended (in millions; unaudited) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 Gross loans beginning balance $ 2,120.9 $ 2,090.4 $ 2,083.3 Newly funded 60.8 106.5 47.4 New total commitments 1 80.5 141.0 63.6 Purchased — — — Net increase (decrease) in line of credit utilization 0.6 1.3 (11.2) Pay-downs and maturities (30.6) (49.7) (23.4) Charge-offs (7.3) (0.1) (0.8) Note sales (9.1) — (1.3) Amortization (19.6) (27.5) (20.5) Gross loans ending balance $ 2,115.7 $ 2,120.9 $ 2,073.5 1 New total commitments includes both newly funded loans and new unfunded commitments 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. Payoffs were $30.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $49.7 million in the prior quarter and $23.4 million for the same period in 2025. In addition, amortization from scheduled payments totaled $19.6 million and net utilization of credit lines increased by $600 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to amortization from scheduled payments totaling $27.5 million and net increased utilization of credit lines of $1.3 million in the prior quarter, and amortization of $20.5 million and net decreased utilization of $11.2 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. 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. 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. Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $683 thousand at March 31, 2026, down from $2.8 million at December 31, 2025. 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. Page-39 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. For more information, refer to Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. Liabilities - Deposits and Borrowings During the first three months of 2026, total liabilities increased by $9.5 million to $3.520 billion. Deposits totaled $3.428 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $12.6 million, compared to $3.416 billion at December 31, 2025 primarily due to inflows from existing relationships as well as new relationships. The majority of the increase in deposits was due to an increase of $58.3 million in interest bearing transaction accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $22.2 million in non-interest bearing deposits and a decrease of $25.6 million in time accounts. This growth excludes the additional $27.3 million in deposits the Bank maintains off balance sheet as one-way sales as of March 31, 2026, whose total increased from $51.2 million to $78.5 million. The majority of the decrease in non-interest bearing deposits aligns with one anticipated client event while the decrease in time accounts reflects prudent management of the Bank's cost of deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits continued to make up a strong 35.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to 36.7% at December 31, 2025. The Bank's competitive and balanced approach to relationship management and focused outreach to customers seeking alternative options for banking solutions generated nearly 1,000 new accounts during the first quarter, 42% of which were new relationships. We had no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Net available funding sources, including unrestricted cash, unencumbered available-for-sale securities, and total available borrowing capacity was $2.185 billion, or 64% of total deposits and 221% of estimated uninsured and/or uncollateralized deposits as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, as part of our active balance sheet management, the Bank maintained $78.5 million in deposits off-balance sheet with deposit networks at March 31, 2026, compared to $51.2 million at December 31, 2025. Capital Adequacy We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements as set forth in the following tables can trigger certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and the Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings and other factors. Management reviews capital ratios on a regular basis and produces a five-year capital plan semi-annually to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs. Stress tests are performed on capital ratios and include scenarios such as additional unrealized losses on the investment portfolio, additional deposit growth, loan credit quality deterioration, and potential share repurchases. For all periods presented, the Bank’s ratios exceed the regulatory definition of “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and Bancorp’s ratios exceed the required minimum ratios to be considered a well-capitalized bank holding company. In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of March 31, 2026. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categories and we expect the Bank to remain well capitalized for prompt corrective action purposes. The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 15.26% at March 31, 2026, compared to 15.25% at December 31, 2025. The total risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 14.09% at March 31, 2026, compared to 13.90% at December 31, 2025. Page-40 The Bancorp’s and Bank’s capital adequacy ratios as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are presented in the following tables.

Liquidity and Capital Resources The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet loan demand and to fund operating activities and deposit withdrawals. We accomplish this goal by maintaining an appropriate level of liquid assets and formal lines of credit with the FHLB, FRBSF and correspondent banks that enable us to borrow funds as seen in the table below and discussed in Note 6, Borrowings and Other Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. Our Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which is comprised of Bank directors and the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for approving and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies. The Bank has long-established minimum liquidity requirements that are regularly monitored using metrics and tools similar to those used by larger banks, such as the liquidity coverage ratio, and multi-scenario, long-horizon stress tests. Our c on tingency 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. Net available contingent funding sources, including unrestricted cash, unencumbered available-for-sale securities and total available borrowing capacity totaled $2.185 billion or 64% of total deposits and 221% of estimated uninsured and/or uncollateralized deposits as of March 31, 2026. Page-41 The following table details the components of our contingent liquidity sources as of March 31, 2026. (in thousands) Total Available Amount Used Net Availability Internal Sources Unrestricted cash 1 $ 215,829 N/A $ 215,829 Unencumbered securities at market value 527,707 N/A 527,707 External Sources FHLB line of credit 976,082 $ — 976,082 FRB line of credit 325,361 — 325,361 Lines of credit at correspondent banks 140,000 — 140,000 Total Liquidity $ 2,184,979 $ — $ 2,184,979 1 Excludes cash items in transit. Note: Off-balance sheet one-way sell deposits totaling $78.5 million not included above. We obtain funds from the repayment and maturity of loans, deposit inflows, investment securities sales, maturities and paydowns, federal funds purchases, FRB and FHLB advances, other borrowings, and cash flow from operations. Although available as a liquidity source, we have not chosen to utilize brokered deposits. Our primary uses of funds are the origination of loans, the purchase of investment securities and loans, withdrawals of deposits, maturities of certificates of deposit, repayment of borrowings, dividends to common stockholders, share repurchases and operating expenses. Customer deposits are a significant component of our daily liquidity position. The attraction and retention of deposits depend upon the variety and effectiveness of our customer account products, service and convenience, rates paid to customers, and our financial strength. The cash cycles and unique business activities of some of our large commercial depositors may cause short-term fluctuations in their deposit balances held with us. Our cash and cash equivalents increased $11.3 million in the first three months of 2026. The most significant sources of liquidity during the first three months of 2026 were $59.2 million from principal paydowns, calls and maturities of investment securities, loan payoffs of $30.6 million, $19.6 million in amortization of principal, and $12.6 million from net increase of deposits, proceeds from loan sales of $9.1 million, in addition to $1.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities. Significant uses of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $65.2 million in investment securities purchased, $60.8 million in loan fundings, and $4.0 million in cash dividends paid on common stock to our shareholders. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our sources and uses of liquidity. Management anticipates that our current strong liquidity position, as detailed in this report, and contingent funding sources outlined in the table above are adequate to support our operational needs. Unfunded credit commitments, as discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, totaled $450.1 million at March 31, 2026. We expect to fund these commitments to the extent utilized primarily through the repayment of existing loans, principal paydowns of investment securities, and liquid assets. Over the next twelve months, $172.8 million of time deposits will mature. We expect that a high percentage of these funds will remain with the Bank either through renewals or shifts to other deposit products. Any outflows can be absorbed by the Bank's excess liquidity. We believe our emphasis on local deposits, combined with our immediately available funding sources, provides a very stable base for our liquidity needs. We had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities at March 31, 2026, nor at December 31, 2025, as discussed in Note 6, Borrowings and Other Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. We issued Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes of $45.0 million with a final maturity date of December 1, 2035, during 2025, to certain investors in a private placement, to strengthen our capital ratios as part of our balance sheet repositioning, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2026, the balance of the 2035 Notes included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition net of debt issuance cost, was $43.9 million. 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 Page-42 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"). The Bank received approval from the State of California - Department of Financial Protection and Innovation on May 30, 2025, for a dividend of $32.0 million which was paid to Bancorp on May 30, 2025. The primary uses of funds for Bancorp are shareholder dividends, subordinated notes servicing, share repurchases and ordinary operating expenses. Bancorp held $30.4 million in cash at March 31, 2026, which is expected to cover cash needs through the next twelve months. Statement Regarding use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP and with reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. 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.
