Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The information required by this item follows. 113 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors Coastal Financial Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coastal Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. As described in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the balance of the Company’s allowance for credit losses – loans was $170 million at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses - loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans held for investment to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses – loans is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected credit losses over the lives of the loans based on evaluating historical credit loss experience and making qualitative reserve factor adjustments to historical loss information for each loan category for differences in the specific risk characteristics in the current loan portfolio based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. These qualitative reserve factors include borrowers’ financial condition and credit rating, volume and severity of delinquent and classified loans, and environmental and business factors to capture general and economic market conditions. We identified the estimation of qualitative reserve factors used in the allowance for credit losses – loans, as a critical audit matter. The qualitative reserve factors are used to estimate credit losses related to matters that are not captured in the 114 Table of Contents historical loss component of the allowance for credit losses – loans, and are based on management’s evaluation of available internal and external data. Auditing management’s judgments regarding the qualitative reserve factors applied to the allowance for credit losses - loans involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included evaluating the design and testing the operating effectiveness of internal controls related to the Company’s identification and assessment of the qualitative reserve factors. Our audit procedures related to the qualitative reserve factors included the following, among others: ▪ Obtaining management’s analysis and supporting documentation related to the qualitative reserve factors and testing whether the factors used in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses – loans are supported by the analysis provided by management. ▪ Testing the appropriateness of the methodology and significant assumptions used in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses – loans, testing completeness and accuracy of the data used in the calculation, testing the estimation and application of the qualitative reserve factors determined by management, and recalculating the balance of the allowance for credit losses – loans. /s/ Baker Tilly US, LLP Everett, Washington, February 27, 2026 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016. 115 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors Coastal Financial Corporation Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Coastal Financial Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of Coastal Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) and our report dated February 27, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Baker Tilly US, LLP Everett, Washington, February 27, 2026 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016. 116 Table of Contents COASTAL

Significant Accounting Policies Nature of operations - Coastal Financial Corporation (“Corporation” or “Company”) is a registered bank holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries are Coastal Community Bank (“Bank”) and Arlington Olympic LLC. The Company is a Washington state corporation that was organized in 2003. The Bank was incorporated and commenced operations in 1997 and is a Washington state-chartered commercial bank and Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) state member bank. Arlington Olympic LLC was formed in 2019 and owns the Arlington branch site, which the Bank leases from the LLC. The Company operates through the Bank and is headquartered in Everett, Washington, which by population is the largest city in Snohomish County. The Company’s business is conducted through three reportable segments: The community bank, CCBX and treasury & administration. The primary focus of the community bank is on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium sized businesses in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington and through the Internet and our mobile banking application. We currently operate 14 full-service banking locations, 12 of which are located in Snohomish County, where we are the largest community bank by deposit market share, and two of which are located in neighboring counties (one in King County and one in Island County). We also have a loan production office which is located in King county. The CCBX segment provides banking as a service (“BaaS”) that allows digital financial service providers, companies and brands to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment had a total of 28 partners, at varying stages as of December 31, 2025. The treasury & administration segment includes investments, debt and other reporting items that are not specific to the community bank or CCBX segments. The Bank’s deposits are insured in whole or in part by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The community bank’s loans and deposits are primarily within the greater Puget Sound region, while CCBX loans and deposits are dependent upon the partner’s market. The Bank’s primary funding source is deposits from customers. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Banks. The Federal Reserve also has regulatory and supervisory authority over the Company. Financial statement presentation - The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for reporting requirements and practices within the banking industry. Amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented in thousands of dollars except per-share amounts, which are presented in dollars. In the narrative footnote discussion, amounts are rounded to thousands and presented in dollars. In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been made. These adjustments include normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that its critical accounting estimate includes determining the allowance for credit losses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2025 for potential recognition or disclosure . Cash equivalents and cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and interest-bearing deposits. All have original maturities of three months or less. CDs with other financial institutions, federal funds sold and cash flows from loans and deposits are reported as net increases or decreases under cash flows from investing activities or from financing activities. 125 Table of Contents The Company maintains its cash in depository institution accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors these institutions and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Investment securities - Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method or methods approximating the interest method over the period to maturity. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Such securities may be sold to facilitate the Company’s asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest rates and similar forces. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale are included in noninterest income and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined on the specific-identification method. For available-for-sale debt securities, if fair value is below amortized cost, the security is considered impaired. When the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then the Company assesses the security for potential expected credit losses. Impairment related to a credit loss is measured using the discounted cash flow method. Credit loss recognition is limited to the fair value of the security. The impairment is recognized by establishing an ACL through provision for credit losses. Impairment related to noncredit factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company evaluates AFS security impairment on a quarterly basis. For held-to-maturity debt securities, expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those securities which share risk characteristics. The Company aggregates similar securities and reports the security portfolio segments based on shared risk characteristics. The only segment included in the held-to-maturity portfolio are U.S. Agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities which have an expected zero credit loss and were purchased for CRA purposes. Other investments - Other investments on the balance sheet consists of direct equity investments in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), Pacific Coast Banker’s Bancshares, as well as investments in bank technology funds. As a Federal Reserve member bank, the Bank is required to own stock in the FRB in an amount based on the Bank’s capital. The recorded amount of the FRB stock equals its fair value because the shares can only be redeemed by the FRB at their par value. The Bank’s investment in FRB stock was $ 6.6 million and $ 4.9 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of FHLB in an amount equal to 4.5 % of advances outstanding, plus 0.06 % of total assets from the prior fiscal year end. The recorded amount of FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares can only be redeemed by FHLB at the $ 1 per share par value. The investment in FHLB stock was $ 2.5 million and $ 2.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The investment in Pacific Coast Banker’s Bancshares (“PCBB”) stock consists of an equity security. This investment is carried at its cost of $ 100,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, which approximates its fair value. The Company has the following equity investments which do not have a readily determinable fair value and are held at cost minus impairment if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. This method will be applied until the investments do not qualify for the measurement election (e.g., if the investment has a readily determinable fair value). The Company will reassess at each reporting period whether the equity investments without a readily determinable fair value qualify to be measured at cost minus impairment. These equity investments without a readily determined fair value include: • a $ 1.8 million and $ 2.2 million equity interest in a specialized bank technology company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively; • a $ 350,000 equity interest in a technology company as of the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024; and 126 Table of Contents • a $ 42,000 and $ 47,000 equity interest in a technology company as of the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The following table shows the activity in equity investments without a readily determinable fair value for the dates shown: For the Year Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2023 Carrying value, beginning of period $ 2,619 $ 2,622 $ 2,572 Purchases — — 50 Observable price change ( 448 ) ( 3 ) — Carrying value, end of period $ 2,171 $ 2,619 $ 2,622 The Company has invested in technology-focused funds, including those targeting innovation and adoption within the banking industry. These equity investments are held at fair value, as reported by the funds. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company contributed $ 556,000 in these funds and recognized net gains of $ 34,000 , resulting in an equity interest of $ 1.5 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $ 910,000 at December 31, 2024. The Company has committed up to $ 1.1 million in capital for these equity funds. The following table shows the activity in equity fund investments held at fair value for the dates shown: For the Year Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2023 Carrying value, beginning of period $ 910 $ 809 $ 456 Purchases/capital calls/capital returns, net 556 72 75 Net change recognized in earnings 34 29 278 Carrying value, end of period $ 1,500 $ 910 $ 809 Loans and allowance for credit losses – Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less the allowance for credit losses and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the level yield methodology and a method that approximates the level yield methodology. Interest income on loans is recognized based upon the principal amounts outstanding. The accrual of interest on community bank loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when they are 90 days past due as to either principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against current income. If management determines that the ultimate collectability of principal or interest is in doubt, cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce the principal balance on a cash-basis method, until the loans qualify for return to accrual status or principal is paid in full. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, borrower has demonstrated ability to make regular payments, generally a period of at least six months, and future payments are reasonably assured. For installment/closed-end, and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners loans will typically accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively, which is consistent with regulatory guidelines for consumer loans of this nature, and an allowance is recorded through provision expense for these expected losses. For installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners with balances outstanding beyond 120 days and 180 days, respectively, principal and capitalized interest outstanding is charged off against the allowance and accrued interest outstanding is reversed against interest income. Partners may discontinue the accrual of interest on loans prior to the days-past-due thresholds referenced above. The Bank places loans on nonaccrual status when a partner does so, including in circumstances where certain CCBX partners have adopted collection practices that result in earlier nonaccrual classification to enhance collectibility. In no event does interest continue to accrue beyond the stated delinquency thresholds. 127 Table of Contents The allowance for credit losses is comprised of amounts charged against income in the form of the provision for credit losses, less charged-off loans, net of recoveries. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for credit losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: (1) the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; (2) the Company has no recourse to the borrower or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; (3) the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance; (4) there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement; and (5) the loan has been modified with principal reduction. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The ACL is evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether the loans in a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the other loans in the pool and whether it needs to evaluate the allowance on an individual basis. The Company must estimate expected credit losses over the loans’ contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments. In estimating the life of the loan, the Company cannot extend the contractual term of the loan for expected extensions, renewals, and modifications, unless the extension or renewal options are included in the contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Because expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life adjusted for estimated prepayments, determination of the life of the loan may significantly affect the ACL. The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages the risk of the type of credit. • Community Bank Portfolio: The ACL calculation is derived from loan segments utilizing loan level information and relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions. In addition, the Company incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast. • CCBX Portfolio: The Bank calculates the ACL on loans on an aggregate basis based on each partner and product level, segmenting the risk inherent in the CCBX portfolio based on qualitative and quantitative trends in the portfolio. Also included in the ACL are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected, but in the Company’s assessment may not be adequately represented in the quantitative method. For example, factors that the Company considers include environmental business conditions, borrower’s financial condition, credit rating and the volume and severity of past due loans and nonaccrual loans. Based on this analysis, the Company records a provision for credit losses to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels. Determining the amount of the allowance is considered a critical accounting estimate, as it requires significant judgment and the use of subjective measurements, including management’s assessment of overall portfolio quality. The Company maintains the allowance at an amount the Company believes is sufficient to provide for estimated losses expected to occur in the Company’s loan portfolio at each balance sheet date, and fluctuations in the provision for credit losses may result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s allowance, and therefore the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis in its ACL calculation as accrued interest is written off in a timely manner when deemed uncollectible. For more information and discussion related to the allowance for credit losses on loans, see “Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.” The Company records an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable for CCBX loans. The allowance is estimated using methodologies consistent with the Company’s CECL framework. Accrued interest is reversed through interest income or written off when loans are placed on nonaccrual status or when collectability is no longer probable. Loans held-for-sale - During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company transferred $ 6.69 billion in CCBX loans receivable to loans held for sale. These loans are sold to the originating partners in accordance with partner agreements and are primarily sold for credit and concentration management. Credit card loans are sold to the originating partner while retaining a portion of the interchange or transaction fee income on these sold credit card accounts. The Company sells these loans to provide an additional source of noninterest income without adding on-balance sheet risk. As 128 Table of Contents of December 31, 2025 there were $ 71.2 million loans held for sale and $ 20.6 million loans were held for sale as of December 31, 2024. Community bank loans held-for-sale consist of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and USDA loans the Company intends to sell after origination and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Loans are generally sold with servicing of the sold portion retained by the Company. When the sale of the loan occurs, the premium received is combined with the estimated present value of future cash flows on the related servicing asset and recorded as a gain on sale of loans in noninterest income. There were no community bank loans held for sale at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Loan sales recognition - The Company recognizes a sale on loans if the transferred portion (or portions) and any portion that continues to be held by the transferor are participating interests. Participating interest is defined as a portion of a financial asset that (a) conveys proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder, (b) involves no recourse (other than standard representations and warranties), and (c) does not entitle any participating interest holder to receive cash before any other participating interest holder. The transfer of the participating interest (or participating interests) must also meet the conditions for surrender of control. To determine the gain or loss on sale of loans, the Company’s investment in the loan is allocated among the retained portion of the loan, the servicing retained, and the sold portion of the loan, based on the relative fair market value of each portion. The gain or loss on the sold portion of the loan is based on the difference between the sale proceeds and the allocated investment in the sold portion of the loan. A discount is recorded against the carrying value of the retained portion of the loan to offset the decrease in the fair value allocation of said retained portion, as applicable. CCBX loans sold to originating partners in accordance with partner agreements are typically sold at par, resulting in no gain or loss on sale. The Company retains the servicing on the sold guaranteed portion of SBA and USDA loans. The Company receives a fee for servicing the loan. The Company also retains the servicing on the sold guaranteed portion of Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) loans. The net deferred fee on the sold portion of the loan is recognized when sold. The Company does not retain the servicing on sold CCBX loans. Reserve for unfunded commitments - The Company maintains a balance sheet liability for expected losses on unfunded commitments, which is recognized if both the following conditions are met: (1) the Company has a present contractual obligation to extend credit; and (2) the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Loan commitments may have a funded and unfunded portion, of which the liability for unfunded commitments is derived based upon the commitments to extend credit to a borrower. An estimate of expected credit losses is not established for unfunded portions of loan commitment that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The expected credit losses for funded portions are reported in the previously discussed ACL. The Company segments its unfunded commitment portfolio consistent with the ACL calculation, separating between unfunded lines and commitments to originate. The Company incorporates the probability of funding (i.e. estimate of utilization) for each segment and then utilizes the ACL loss rates for each segment on an aggregate basis to calculate the allowance for unfunded commitments. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $ 5.2 million and $ 2.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The reserve for community bank loans was $ 1.4 million and the reserve for CCBX loans was $ 3.8 million as of December 31, 2025. Premises and equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives range from three to thirty-nine years . Leasehold improvements are amortized over the expected term of the lease including options to extend which are reasonably certain to be exercised or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is less. The Company capitalizes internal and external costs related to internal-use software during the application development stage, including consulting costs and compensation expenses related to employees who devote time to the development of the projects. The Company records capitalized software development costs in premises and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs incurred in preliminary stages of development activities and post implementation activities are expensed in the period incurred. The Company may also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, capitalization ceases and the asset is amortized straight line over its estimated useful life, which is typically three years. Amortization expense is included in data processing and software licenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 129 Table of Contents Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses. Renewals and betterments are added to the asset accounts and depreciated over the periods benefited. Depreciable assets sold or retired are removed from the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the income statement. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. If management determines impairment exists, the asset is reduced with an offsetting charge to the income statement. Transfers of financial assets - Transfers of an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) a group of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset has been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Other real estate owned and repossessed assets - Other real estate owned and repossessed assets are foreclosed property held pending disposition and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. At foreclosure, if the fair value of the asset acquired less estimated selling costs is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Costs of significant property improvements that increase the value of the property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and a valuation allowance is established for subsequent declines, which are recorded as a charge to income, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of the property to its fair value less estimated selling costs. Leases - The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases . Most leases are recognized on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability for each lease. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the asset under lease for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the contractual obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As a lessee, the Company enters into operating leases for certain Bank branches. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments which include renewal options where the Company is reasonably certain they will be exercised. The net present value is determined using the incremental collateralized borrowing rate at commencement date. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid rent, lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are amortized over the individual lease terms. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For additional information regarding leases, see Note 6. Income taxes - The Company and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return and state tax returns as applicable. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes are temporary differences that will be recognized in future periods. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Federal taxes are paid by the Bank to the Company based on the separate taxable income of the Bank. The Company and Bank maintain their records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting and for income tax reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no material unrecognized income tax benefits. There were no interest and penalties assessed on income taxes during 2025, 2024 or 2023. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, would be recognized in other noninterest expense. Stock-based compensation - Compensation expense is recognized for stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of these awards at the grant date. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units and is determined on the basis of objective criteria including trade data. The fair value of market-based units is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Earnings per common share - Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed under the two-class method. Pursuant to the two-class method, unvested stock based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or 130 Table of Contents dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Application of the two-class method resulted in the equivalent earnings per share to the treasury method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock using the treasury stock method. Stock awards that are anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted EPS. Comprehensive income - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, are reported as a separate component of the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheets. Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of only one component: unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available-for-sale. Business Segments – For financial reporting purposes, the Company has three segments: The community bank, CCBX and treasury & administration. The community bank business is that of a traditional banking institution, gathering deposits and originating loans for portfolio in its market areas. The community bank offers a wide variety of deposit products to their customers. Lending activities include the origination of real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. Interest income on loans is the Company’s primary source of revenue, and is supplemented by interest income from deposits with other banks and investment securities, service charges, and other service provided activities. The CCBX segment provides banking as a service (“BaaS”) that allows our digital financial service partners to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment has 28 partners as of December 31, 2025. The treasury & administration segment includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company. The performance of the Company is reviewed and monitored by the Company’s executive management on a daily basis and the Board of Directors reviews and monitors the performance of the Company at minimum, on a monthly basis. For additional information regarding the business segments, see Note 21. Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or over the period of the campaign/promotion. Advertising costs in the amount of $ 631,000 , $ 162,000 and $ 517,000 were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively . Reclassifications - Certain amounts reported in prior years' consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income. 131 Table of Contents Note 2 - Recent accounting standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The ASU addresses the concern that more segment information is needed, including allowing the disclosure of multiple measures of segment profit or loss, requiring the disclosure of significant segment expenses, and requiring the qualitative disclosure of other segment items. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and was implemented by the Company as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires enhanced disclosures about the nature of expenses included in income statement line items to improve transparency and comparability. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring more detailed information about income tax expense, cash taxes paid, and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years and was implemented by the Company as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes and clarifies guidance on capitalization of internal-use software costs (including software developed using iterative methods) and related presentation/disclosure considerations. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its capitalization policies and disclosures. In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands and clarifies acquisition-date accounting for certain purchased loans under CECL, including use of a gross-up approach for specified acquired loans. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its accounting for acquired loans and related disclosures. In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, to clarify and improve the guidance related to interim financial reporting. The ASU enhances the structure and navigability of Topic 270 by consolidating and organizing interim disclosure requirements and clarifying their applicability to entities that issue interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The amendments also introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose material events and changes that occur after the most recent annual reporting period. The ASU does not significantly expand existing disclosure requirements but is intended to improve transparency and consistency in interim reporting. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. 132 Table of Contents Note 3 - Investment Securities The following table summarizes the amortized cost, fair value, and allowance for credit losses and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and gross unrecognized gains and losses of held-to-maturity securities: Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Allowance for Credit Losses (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 Available-for-sale U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ 30 $ — $ ( 1 ) $ 29 $ — Total available-for-sale securities 30 — ( 1 ) 29 — Held-to-maturity U.S. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities 48,218 710 ( 214 ) 48,713 — Total investment securities $ 48,248 $ 710 $ ( 215 ) $ 48,742 $ — Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Allowance for Credit Losses (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2024 Available-for-sale U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ 37 $ — $ ( 2 ) $ 35 $ — Total available-for-sale securities 37 — ( 2 ) 35 — Held-to-maturity U.S. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities 47,286 149 ( 730 ) 46,705 — Total investment securities $ 47,323 $ 149 $ ( 732 ) $ 46,740 $ — 133 Table of Contents Accrued interest on available-for-sale securities was less than $1,000 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Accrued interest on held-to-maturity securities was $ 219,000 and $ 218,000 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Accrued interest on securities is excluded from the balances in the preceding table of securities receivable, and is included in accrued interest receivable on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2025, are shown below. The Company’s debt securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers underlying these securities generally have the right to prepay obligations, with or without prepayment penalties. As a result, these securities do not have a single contractual maturity date. Available-for-Sale Held-to-Maturity Amortized Cost Fair Value Amortized Cost Fair Value (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 U.S. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations $ 30 $ 29 $ 48,218 $ 48,713 $ 30 $ 29 $ 48,218 $ 48,713 Investment securities with amortized cost of $ 44.3 million and $ 24.0 million in securities were pledged for borrowing lines at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. An additional $ 19.2 million were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law at December 31, 2024, no securities were pledged for these purposes at December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company purchased two debt securities with an aggregate cost of $ 5.1 million. No investment securities were purchased during 2024. During 2023, the Company purchased 16 debt securities with an aggregate book value of $ 50.2 million. There were no sales of investments during the year ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2025, eight securities were in an unrealized loss position, with total gross unrealized losses of $ 215,000 , compared to 16 securities with total gross unrealized losses of $ 732,000 at December 31, 2024. The following table shows the investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair values, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded: Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 Available-for-sale U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ — $ — $ 29 $ 1 $ 29 $ 1 Total available-for-sale securities — — 29 1 29 1 Held-to-maturity U.S. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities 5,039 95 8,228 119 13,267 214 Total investment securities $ 5,039 $ 95 $ 8,257 $ 120 $ 13,296 $ 215 134 Table of Contents Management has evaluated the above securities and does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2025 will be recognized into income. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell and does not expect it will be required to sell the investments. The decline is largely due to changes in market conditions and interest rates, rather than credit quality. The fair value is expected to recover as the underlying securities in the portfolio approach maturity and as market conditions improve. Management believes there is a high probability of collecting all contractual amounts due because the majority of the securities in the portfolio are backed by government agencies or government sponsored enterprises. However, a recovery in value may not occur for some time, if at all, and may be delayed for greater than the one year time horizon or perhaps even until maturity. Based on management's analysis no allowance for credit losses was required on these securities. Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) Loans Held for Sale During the year ended December 31, 2025, $ 6.69 billion in CCBX loans were transferred to loans held for sale, with $ 6.64 billion in loans sold.

The following is a summary of the Company’s loan portfolio segments: Commercial and industrial loans - Commercial and industrial loans are secured by business assets including inventory, receivables and machinery and equipment of businesses located generally in the Company’s primary market area and capital calls on venture and investment funds. Loan types include revolving lines of credit, term loans, and loans secured by liquid collateral such as cash deposits or marketable securities. Also included in commercial and industrial loans are loans to other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company issues letters of credit on behalf of its customers. Risk arises primarily due to the difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. In addition, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers. As of December 31, 2025, $ 224.4 million in community bank loans are included in commercial and industrial loans, compared to $ 150.4 million at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, $ 229.6 million in loans originated through CCBX partners are included in commercial and industrial loans, compared to $ 143.0 million at December 31, 2024. 136 Table of Contents For the year ended December 31, 2025, $ 210.5 million in CCBX capital call lines are included in commercial and industrial loans compared to $ 109.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Also included in commercial and industrial loans are $ 19.2 million in unsecured loans originated through CCBX partners as of December 31, 2025, compared to $ 34.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Construction, land and land development loans – The Company originates loans for the construction of 1-4 family, multifamily, and CRE properties in the Company’s market area. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, government regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans, as adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market, which could affect the borrower’s ability to complete and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. The Company occasionally originates land loans for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate construction of a home or commercial building. The primary risks include the borrower’s ability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a material decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral. As of December 31, 2025, $ 222.1 million in community bank loans are included in construction, land and land development loans compared to $ 148.2 million at December 31, 2024. Residential real estate - Residential real estate includes various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. Included in this segment are multi-family loans, first lien single family loans, which the Company occasionally purchases to diversify its loan portfolio, home equity lines of credit and rental portfolios secured by one-to-four family homes. The primary risks of residential real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateral, and significant increases in interest rates which may make the loan unprofitable. As of December 31, 2025, $ 202.3 million in community bank loans are included in residential real estate loans, compared to $ 202.1 million at December 31, 2024. These include multi-family loans, first lien single family loans and home equity lines of credit. As of December 31, 2025, $ 264.1 million in loans originated through CCBX partners are included in residential real estate loans, compared to $ 267.7 million at December 31, 2024. These home equity lines of credit are secured by residential real estate and are accessed by using a credit card. Home equity lines of credit are classified as residential real estate per regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate (includes owner occupied and nonowner occupied) - Commercial real estate loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. As of December 31, 2025, $ 1.29 billion in community bank loans are included in commercial real estate loans, compared to $ 1.37 billion at December 31, 2024. We have commercial mortgage loans totaling $ 374.7 million that are collateralized by owner-occupied real-estate and $ 531.1 million that are collateralized by non-owner-occupied real estate, as well as $ 367.9 million of multi-family residential loans and $ 12.2 million of farmland loans, as of December 31, 2025, compared to $ 386.8 million that are collateralized by owner-occupied real-estate, $ 565.5 million that are collateralized by non-owner-occupied real estate,$ 412.0 million of multi-family residential loans and $ 10.5 million of farmland loans, as of December 31, 2024. The primary risks of commercial real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateralized real estate and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate loan unprofitable. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Consumer and other loans – The community bank originates a limited number of consumer loans, generally for banking customers only, which consist primarily of lines of credit, saving account secured loans, and auto loans. CCBX originates consumer loans including credit cards, consumer term loans and secured and unsecured lines of credit. This loan category also includes overdrafts. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral. 137 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2025, $ 14.1 million in community bank loans are included in consumer and other loans compared to $ 13.5 million at December 31, 2024.

The balance is attributed to loans originated through CCBX lending partners which continue to accrue interest up to 180 days past due. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $ 30.9 million and $ 41.8 million, respectively, of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are covered by credit enhancements provided by our CCBX partners that protect the Bank against losses. The accrual of interest on community bank loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when they are 90 days past due as to either principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Installment/closed-end, and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively, and an allowance is recorded through provision expense for these expected losses. Certain CCBX partners employ collection practices that place specific loans on nonaccrual status to enhance collectability. As of December 31, 2025, $ 20.3 million of these nonaccrual CCBX loans were less than 90 days past due, compared to $ 17.2 million as of December 31, 2024. For installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners with balances outstanding beyond 120 days and 180 days past due, respectively, principal and capitalized interest 141 Table of Contents outstanding is charged off against the allowance and accrued interest outstanding is reversed against interest income. These consumer loans are reported as nonperforming/substandard, 90 days or more past due and still accruing. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued interest is reversed from current period earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. If the likelihood of further loss is removed, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only. Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual. An analysis of nonaccrual loans by category consisted of the following at the periods indicated: December 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Total Nonaccrual Nonaccrual with No ACL Nonaccrual with ACL Total Nonaccrual Nonaccrual with No ACL Nonaccrual with ACL (dollars in thousands) Community Bank Commercial and industrial loans $ 2,151 $ 2,058 $ 93 $ 100 $ 100 $ — Real estate loans: Residential real estate 38 38 — — — — Commercial real estate 4,344 4,344 — — — — Total community bank nonaccrual loans $ 6,533 $ 6,440 $ 93 $ 100 $ 100 $ — CCBX Commercial and industrial loans $ 127 $ — $ 127 $ 234 $ — $ 234 Consumer and other loans: Credit cards 21,433 — 21,433 10,262 — 10,262 Consumer and other consumer loans 2,875 — 2,875 8,967 — 8,967 Total CCBX nonaccrual loans $ 24,435 $ — $ 24,435 $ 19,463 $ — $ 19,463 Total consolidated nonaccrual loans $ 30,968 $ 6,440 $ 24,528 $ 19,563 $ 100 $ 19,463 142 Table of Contents In some circumstances, the Company modifies loans in response to borrower financial difficulty, and generally provides for a temporary modification of loan repayment terms. In order for a modified loan to be considered for accrual status, the loan’s collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to 100% of the loan balance, the loan is current on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow for an extended period of time, usually at least six months in duration. There was no modified loan for a community bank borrower experiencing financial difficulty at December 31, 2025, and there was one loan at December 31, 2024. The Company had no commitment to lend additional amounts borrower at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Therefore, the loan balance is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. Credit Quality and Credit Risk Federal regulations require that the Company periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio. In addition, the Company’s regulatory agencies have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, require them to be reclassified. The Company establishes loan grades for loans at the origination of the loan. Changes to community bank loan grades are considered at the time new information about the performance of a loan becomes available, including the receipt of updated 147 Table of Contents financial information from the borrower and after loan reviews. For consumer loans, the Bank follows the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property. The Company classifies some loans as Watch or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). Loans classified as Watch are performing assets but have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans and are reported in the OLEM column in the following table. Loans classified as OLEM are assets that continue to perform but have shown deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring. There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Substandard loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Revolving (open-ended loans, such as credit cards) and installment (closed end) consumer loans originated through CCBX partners continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off at 120 days past due for installment loans (primarily unsecured loans to consumers) and 180 days past due for revolving loans (primarily credit cards) and are classified as substandard. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of loans classified as Substandard, with additional characteristics that suggest the weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as Doubtful. A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continued classification of the credit as a loan is not warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as Loss, it must be charged-off, meaning the amount of the loss is charged against the allowance for credit losses, thereby reducing that reserve. Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of a loan constitutes a current period origination. The following tables show the risk category of community bank loans by year of origination for the periods indicated, based on the most recent analysis performed as of each period end: Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Community Bank 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 Prior Revolving Loans Amortized Cost Basis Revolving Loans Converted To Term Total (dollars in thousands) As of December 31, 2025 Commercial and industrial loans Risk rating Pass $ 131,644 $ 8,897 $ 33,940 $ 10,279 $ 2,389 $ 5,363 $ 25,929 $ 2,256 $ 220,697 Other Loan Especially Mentioned — — — — 1,216 — 375 — $ 1,591 Substandard — 16 — 1,961 — — 174 — $ 2,151 Doubtful — — — — — — — — — Total commercial and industrial loans -

Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by reimbursing most losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans, reclassified negative deposit accounts and accrued interest receivable on CCBX loans. When the provision for CCBX credit losses and provision for unfunded commitments are recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses. The credit enhancement asset is reduced when credit enhancement payments are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account. CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements 157 Table of Contents that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by reimbursing the Bank for the losses. If the partner is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income. In accordance with the program agreement for one CCBX partner, the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 5 % of a $ 321.3 million loan portfolio that is without credit enhancements. At December 31, 2025, 5 % of this portfolio represented $ 22.1 million in loans.

Amortization on software is charged to data processing and software licenses and totaled $ 5.1 million, $ 3.0 million and $ 754,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Note 6 – Leases The Company has committed to rent premises and equipment used in business operations under non-cancelable operating and finance leases and determines if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease upon inception. 160 Table of Contents Operating and finance lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the contractual lease term. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. A lease ROU asset and lease liability will be recognized for any new leases at the commencement of the new lease. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, therefore the Company used its incremental collateralized borrowing rates commensurate with the underlying lease terms to determine the present value of operating and finance lease liabilities at the inception of the lease. The weighted average discount rate as of December 31, 2025 was 4.0 % for operating leases and 4.75 % for finance leases and is based off the discount rate and term at the time the lease is originated or renewed. The Company’s operating lease agreements contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Operating leases with original terms of 12 months or less are not included in ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease terms include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, determined on a lease-by-lease basis. At December 31, 2025, lease expiration dates ranged from less than twelve months to 21.2 years, with additional renewal options on certain leases typically ranging from zero to 10 years. At December 31, 2025, the dollar weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases was 7.4 years. The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's finance lease was 9 months. Rental expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounted to $ 1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Variable lease components, such as inflation adjustments, are expensed as incurred and not included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. Amortization expense for the finance lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounted to $ 34,000 and $ 43,000 for the year December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Interest on the finance lease was $ 2,000 and $ 5,000 for the year December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There was no amortization expense or interest on finance leases in 2023. The following sets forth, as of December 31, 2025, the minimum annual lease payments under the terms of these leases, inclusive of renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to renew: Operating Finance (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 2026 $ 1,225 $ 27 2026 1,097 — 2027 695 — 2028 459 — 2029 413 — 2031 and thereafter 1,869 — Total lease payments 5,757 27 Less: amounts representing interest 799 1 Present value of lease liabilities $ 4,958 $ 26 Office space at a small number of branches is leased and sub-leased to a few tenants on month-to-month and multi-year leases. Lease and sublease income was $ 180,000 , $ 204,000 and $ 205,000 for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 161 Table of Contents The following table presents the components of total lease expense and operating cash flows for the periods presented: For the Year Ended (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Lease expense: Operating lease expense (1) 1,071 $ 1,020 1,074 Variable lease expense 413 362 236 Finance lease cost Right-of-use amortization (2) $ 34 $ 43 $ — Interest expense (3) 2 5 — Total lease expense $ 1,520 $ 1,430 $ 1,310 Cash paid: Cash paid from operating leases $ 1,500 $ 1,396 $ 1,334 Cash paid from finance leases $ 36 $ 47 $ — (1) Included in net occupancy expense and in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had pledged commercial real estate loans totaling $ 654.8 million, which provided available borrowing capacity of $ 468.7 million. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 2025 or 2024. Note 9 – Subordinated Debt At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s subordinated debt was as follows: Aggregate Principal Amount December 31, 2025 Aggregate Principal Amount December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands) Total liability, at par $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Less: unamortized debt issuance costs ( 557 ) ( 707 ) Total liability, at carrying value $ 44,443 $ 44,293 On August 18, 2021, the Company entered into a $ 25.0 million subordinated note purchase agreement. The note matures on September 1, 2031 , is fixed for five years at 3.375 %, and thereafter is variable at a floating rate, calculated quarterly, based on the 3-month SOFR + 2.76 %. On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a $ 20.0 million subordinated note purchase agreement. The note matures on November 1, 2032 , is fixed for five years at 7.000 %, and thereafter is variable at a floating rate, calculated quarterly, based on the 3-month SOFR + 2.90 %. Subordinated debt interest expense of $ 2.4 million was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Accrued interest payable on these notes totaled $ 515,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024. 163 Table of Contents Note 10 – Junior Subordinated Debentures At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s junior subordinated debentures were as follows: Coastal (WA) Statutory Trust I Aggregate Principal Amount December 31, 2025 Aggregate Principal Amount December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands) Total liability, at par $ 3,609 $ 3,609 Less: unamortized debt issuance costs ( 16 ) ( 18 ) Total liability, at carrying value $ 3,593 $ 3,591 Stated Maturity: December 15, 2034 On December 15, 2004, the Company issued $ 3.6 million floating rate junior subordinated debentures to Coastal (WA) Statutory Trust I, which was formed for the issuance of trust preferred securities. Prior to June 30, 2023, the debentures bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.10 %. Beginning with rate adjustments subsequent to June 30, 2023, the rate is based off three-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.26 % and margin of 2.10 %. The effective rate as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 6.08 % and 6.72 %, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly. Interest expense of $ 243,000 , $ 279,000 and $ 271,000 was recognized during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and accrued interest payable on these securities totaled $ 10,000 and $ 11,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There are no principal payments due on these debentures in the next five years. The Trust is not consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company reports the subordinated debentures held by the Trust as liabilities. The Company owns all of the common securities of the trust. The trust preferred securities issued by the trust rank equally with the common securities in right of payment, except that if an event of default under the indenture governing the note has occurred and is continuing, the preferred securities will rank senior to the common securities in right of payment. 164 Table of Contents Note 11 – Income Taxes Income taxes paid were as follows: (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2023 Cash taxes paid, net of refunds Federal $ 5,871 $ 9,750 $ 6,000 State California (1) 1,300 525 — Other domestic 460 ( 355 ) 412 Foreign — — — Total tax expense $ 7,631 $ 9,920 $ 6,412 (1) The amount of income taxes paid during 2023 does not meet the 5% disaggregation threshold.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, state taxes in California and Georgia made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. The Company did not record or accrue any interest and penalties related to income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023. The Company and Bank have entered into a tax allocation agreement, which provides that income taxes shall be allocated between the parties on a monthly basis. The intent of this agreement is that each member of the consolidated group will incur no greater tax liability than it would have incurred on a stand-alone basis. 166 Table of Contents The net deferred tax asset consists of the following temporary differences and carryforward items at December 31: (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for credit losses $ 41,602 $ 40,734 Lease liability 1,219 1,245 Accrued expenses 799 582 Deferred compensation 65 76 Stock based compensation 1,132 1,220 Section 174 costs — 801 Other 2,448 829 Total deferred tax assets 47,265 45,487 Deferred tax liabilities: Right of use asset ( 1,179 ) ( 1,203 ) Depreciation and amortization ( 284 ) ( 365 ) Credit enhancement recovery ( 43,196 ) ( 40,101 ) Section 174 costs ( 3,299 ) — Other ( 160 ) ( 218 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 48,118 ) ( 41,887 ) Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ ( 853 ) $ 3,600 The determination of the amount of deferred income tax assets which are more likely than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given economic conditions and other factors. The realization of deferred income tax assets is regularly assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% chance. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Based upon its analysis of available evidence, including recent profitability, management has determined that it is “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2025 will be fully realized and therefore no valuation allowance was recorded. CCBX partners reimburse the Bank for credit losses on loans covered by credit enhancements, therefore the credit enhancement recovery deferred tax liability partially offsets the allowance for credit losses deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards. The Company files federal and various state income tax returns. Federal tax returns for the 2022 tax year and later are open for examination. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at December 31, 2025 was not material. The amount of tax benefits that would impact the effective rate, if recognized, is not expected to be material. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes with respect to unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. Note 12 – Related Party Transactions During 2025 and 2024 the Company had transactions made in the ordinary course of business with certain of its executive officers and directors. All loans included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. 167 Table of Contents A summary of loan transactions follows: (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 Beginning Balance January 1 $ 12,641 $ 13,043 Additions 3,120 1 Payments ( 463 ) ( 403 ) No longer related parties ( 1,138 ) — Ending Balance December 31 $ 14,160 $ 12,641 The Company held deposits of $ 4.3 million and $ 3.9 million from directors, principal shareholders and key executive officers at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Everett lease originated in 1997 and has been extended multiple times. The current lease is through March 2034. Rents paid during 2023 for the related party Everett lease totaled $ 316,000 . Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets. 168 Table of Contents At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a reserve for unfunded commitments of $ 5.2 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents commitments associated with outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit and equity investment commitments as of the periods indicated: (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 Commitments to extend credit: Commercial and industrial loans $ 90,281 $ 94,589 Commercial and industrial loans – capital call lines 519,135 550,948 Construction – commercial real estate loans 58,562 36,873 Construction – residential real estate loans 39,676 10,929 Residential real estate loans 684,485 499,516 Commercial real estate loans 28,108 34,222 Credit cards $ 819,495 $ 717,198 Consumer and other loans 68,302 18,553 Total commitments to extend credit $ 2,308,044 $ 1,962,828 Standby letters of credit $ 1,042 $ 1,042 Equity investment commitment $ 1,125 $ 480 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commercial and industrial loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by us, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. The type of collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. As of December 31, 2025, $ 1.42 billion of the $ 2.31 billion in total commitments to extend credit were unconditionally cancelable. Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, we have rights to the underlying collateral, which can include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and/or marketable securities. Our credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to our customers. No losses were incurred in 2025 or 2024 under these commitments. Commitments to extend credit on CCBX loans are included in the table above and are summarized below: (dollars in thousands) December 31 2025 December 31 2024 Commitments to extend credit: Commercial and industrial loans $ 23,859 $ 19,104 Commercial and industrial loans - capital call lines 519,135 550,948 Residential real estate loans 631,973 453,369 Credit cards, consumer and other loans 874,245 733,005 Total commitments to extend credit $ 2,049,212 $ 1,756,426 169 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2025, $ 1.42 billion in CCBX commitments to extend credit were unconditionally cancelable, compared to $ 1.30 billion at December 31, 2024. Commitments that are unconditionally cancelable allow us to manage loan growth, credit concentrations and liquidity. We also limit CCBX partners to a maximum aggregate customer loan balance originated and held on our balance sheet, as shown in the table below. (dollars in thousands) Type of Lending Maximum Portfolio Size Commercial and industrial loans: Capital call lines Business - Venture Capital $ 350,000 All other commercial & industrial loans Business - Small Business 515,589 Real estate loans: Home equity lines of credit Home Equity - Secured Credit Cards 400,000 Consumer and other loans: Credit cards Credit Cards - Primarily Consumer 900,000 Installment loans Consumer 1,740,813 Other consumer and other loans Consumer - Secured Credit Builder & Unsecured consumer 478,598 4,385,000 The Company also has agreements with certain key officers that provide for potential payments upon retirement, disability, termination, change in control and death. The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. Note 14 – Concentration Risk Most of the community bank’s business activity is with customers who are concentrated in the state of Washington. Investments in municipal securities involve governmental entities within the state. Generally, amounts placed or invested in bank accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $ 250,000 per depositor for each account ownership category at a bank. Uninsured deposits in bank accounts held by the Company and Bank at December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $ 22.2 million and $ 10.1 million, respectively. Deposits obtained through our CCBX segment are a significant source of liquidity for us. Partner program agreements govern the relationship and are valid for a given period of time. Prior to exiting, the partner would need to provide us adequate notice as stipulated in the agreement that they were not going to renew the program agreement and intend to move the deposits. The movement to an alternate BaaS provider is cumbersome and would be over a period of time, which would allow us the opportunity to put alternate liquidity in place. As of December 31, 2025, we had two partners with deposits that together represent 45% of total deposits. Our maximum concentration for any one partner is 30% of total assets. Loans to the same borrower are generally limited, by state banking regulations, to 20 % of the Bank’s capital and surplus. The Company manages asset quality and controls credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. The Company regularly utilizes real estate as collateral to reduce the risk of credit loss in the loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has a concentration of credit in commercial real estate. Commercial real estate loans are typically secured by the Bank’s first lien position on the subject property. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. 170 Table of Contents Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation Stock Options and Restricted Stock The 2018 Coastal Financial Corporation Omnibus Plan (“2018 Plan”) authorizes the Company to grant awards, including but not limited to, stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards, to eligible employees, directors or individuals that provide service to the Company, up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock. On May 24, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved the First Amendment to the 2018 Plan, which increased the authorized plan shares by 600,000 . On May 28, 2025, the Company's shareholders approved the Second Amendment to the 2018 Plan which increased the authorized plan shares by 600,000 . The 2018 Plan replaced both the 2006 Plan and the Directors’ Stock Bonus Plan. Existing awards will vest under the terms granted and no further awards will be granted under these prior plans. Shares available to be granted under the 2018 plan were 700,458 at December 31, 2025. Stock Option Awards The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses the vesting term and contractual life to determine the expected life. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards is reversed at date of forfeiture. There were no new options granted in the year ended December 31, 2025. A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s Plan during the year ended December 31, 2025: Options Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Outstanding at December 31, 2024 186,354 $ 9.80 2.8 $ 13,996 Granted — $ — Exercised ( 65,933 ) $ 9.25 Expired — $ — Forfeited ( 1,540 ) $ 11.01 Outstanding at December 31, 2025 118,881 $ 10.10 2.1 $ 12,422 Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2025 51,745 $ 9.89 2.0 $ 5,418 Exercisable at December 31, 2025 51,745 $ 9.89 2.0 $ 5,418 The total intrinsic value (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeds the exercise price) of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $ 5.2 million. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 6.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 284,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Plan. Total unrecognized compensation cost is adjusted for unvested forfeitures. The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. Compensation expense recorded related to stock options was $ 602,000 , $ 274,000 and $ 319,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Included in stock option compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 is $ 449,000 related to the acceleration of certain equity awards in connection with retirements and employment separations. This total amount includes both the immediate recognition of previously unrecognized compensation cost and $ 375,000 of incremental compensation expense resulting from award modifications. 171 Table of Contents Restricted Stock Units During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 108,710 restricted stock units under the 2018 Plan to employees, which vest ratably over various terms ranging from four years to five years . Additionally, the Company granted 64,435 performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") under the 2018 Plan that are eligible to vest over various terms ranging from 5.0 years to 1 year, 6 months . RSUs provide for an interest in Company common stock to the recipient, the underlying stock is not issued until certain conditions are met. Vesting requirements include time-based, performance-based, or market-based conditions. Recipients of RSUs do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the units and the holders of the restricted units do not have voting rights. The fair value of time-based and performance-based units is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of market-based units is estimated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period that the awards are based. RSUs are nonparticipating securities. As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 18.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. The Company expects to recognize that cost over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 3.2 years. Compensation expense recorded related to restricted stock units was $ 7.0 million, $ 3.9 million and $ 2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 350,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to director restricted stock awards which the Company expects to recognize over the remaining average vesting period of approximately five months . Director compensation expense recorded related to the 2018 Plan totaled $ 823,000 , $ 625,000 and $ 432,000 for the for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A summary of the Company’s unvested shares at December 31, 2025 and changes during the year is presented below: Unvested shares - RSAs Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested shares at December 31, 2024 18,698 $ 40.90 Granted 10,039 $ 87.19 Forfeited — $ — Vested ( 18,698 ) $ 50.81 Unvested shares at December 31, 2025 10,039 $ 87.19 Note 16 – Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) plan - The Company has a combined 401(k) and profit-sharing plan covering substantially all employees. Contributions to the 401(k) plan may consist of matching contributions for employees. Match eligibility coincides with the first of the month following hire date in accordance with the 401(k) plan. Matching contributions are usually equal to a percentage of employee compensation. The Company determines and sets 401(k) contributions each year. Company matching contributions will be approved by the board of directors annually on a discretionary basis. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided matching contributions totaling $ 2.1 million, $ 1.8 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively. Deferred compensation plan - The Company established a deferred compensation plan in 2003 for certain management personnel. Two former employees were covered by this plan and the plan is now distributing benefits to these retired individuals. The plan was designed to help supplement retirement benefits for participants. The benefits may be funded by bank-owned life insurance policies. The life insurance policies had a cash surrender value of $ 13.9 million and $ 13.4 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Liabilities to employees, which are being accrued over the life of the participant’s Plan, were $ 267,000 and $ 332,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Payments of accrued benefits totaling $ 86,000 were made during 2025, and $ 175,000 each for 2024 and 2023. Note 17 - Regulatory Matters Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the Bank and the Company. 173 Table of Contents Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios and the Bank’s classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk- weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total consolidated assets (as defined). According to regulatory guidelines, only the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized within the next 12 months based on projected taxable income is allowed in the computation. There were no disallowed deferred tax assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Under the capital adequacy guidelines on the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (as set forth in the table on the next page), the Bank met the criteria to be considered well capitalized as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Such determination has been made based on the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio. There have been no conditions or events since December 31, 2025, that management believes would change the Bank’s category. Under capital adequacy regulations, the Company and the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital of more than 2.5 % above the minimum risk-based capital ratios to avoid restrictions on the payment of capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Management believes the Company and the Bank exceed all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, including the ratios described below and the capital conservation buffer, as of December 31, 2025. 174 Table of Contents The Company’s and Bank’s actual and required capital amo unts and ratios are as follows: Actual Minimum Required for Capital Adequacy Purposes (1) Required to be Well Capitalized Under the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 Leverage Capital (to average assets) Consolidated $ 489,918 10.62 % $ 184,550 4.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 488,585 10.60 % 184,383 4.00 % 230,478 5.00 % Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 486,418 12.43 % 176,156 4.50 % N/A N/A Bank Only 488,585 12.50 % 175,886 4.50 % 254,057 6.50 % Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 489,918 12.52 % 234,875 6.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 488,585 12.50 % 234,514 6.00 % 312,685 8.00 % Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 585,410 14.95 % 313,166 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 539,004 13.79 % 312,685 8.00 % 390,857 10.00 % December 31, 2024 Leverage Capital (to average assets) Consolidated $ 442,193 10.78 % $ 164,052 4.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 436,116 10.64 % 163,919 4.00 % 204,899 5.00 % Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 438,693 12.04 % 163,952 4.50 % N/A N/A Bank Only 436,116 11.99 % 163,717 4.50 % 236,480 6.50 % Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 442,193 12.14 % 218,602 6.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 436,116 11.99 % 218,289 6.00 % 291,052 8.00 % Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated 534,390 14.67 % 291,470 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank Only 483,247 13.28 % 291,052 8.00 % 363,816 10.00 % (1) Presents the minimum capital adequacy requirements that apply to the Bank (excluding the capital conservation buffer) and the Company.

Fair value is defined as the 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 (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale). GAAP establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Among other things, the accounting standard requires the reporting entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while 176 Table of Contents unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates for market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. • Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active markets for identical or similar instruments, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs from non-binding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data. The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize at a future date. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for certain financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values. Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis – The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 Available-for-sale U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ — $ 29 $ — $ 29 $ — $ 29 $ — $ 29 December 31, 2024 Available-for-sale U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations $ — $ 35 $ — $ 35 $ — $ 35 $ — $ 35 The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of the class of financial instruments above: Investment securities - The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices, pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, independent pricing sources, and discounted cash flows. Limitations: The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The factors used in the fair values estimates are subject to change subsequent to the dates the fair value estimates are completed, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. 177 Table of Contents Items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis – The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the fair value measurements for those assets at the dates indicated: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 Collateral dependent loans $ — $ — $ 97 $ 97 Equity securities — — 2,171 2,171 Total $ — $ — $ 2,268 $ 2,268 December 31, 2024 Collateral dependent loans $ — $ — $ 100 $ 100 Equity securities — — 2,619 2,619 Total $ — $ — $ 2,719 $ 2,719 The amounts disclosed above represent the fair values at the time the nonrecurring fair value measurements were made, and not necessarily the fair value as of the dates reported on. Individually evaluated loans - Fair values for individually evaluated loans are estimated using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan results in a Level 3 classification. Individually evaluated loan amounts are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Individually evaluated loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt. Valuation is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the discounted cash expected future cash flows. Subsequent changes in the value of loans are included within the provision for credit losses - loans in the same manner in which it initially was recognized or as a reduction in the provision that would otherwise be reported. Loans are evaluated quarterly to determine if valuation adjustments should be recorded. The need for valuation adjustments arises when observable market prices or current appraised values of collateral indicate a shortfall in collateral value compared to current carrying values of the related loan. If the Company determines that the value of the individually evaluated loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, the Company either establishes a reserve as a specific component of the allowance for credit losses or charges off that amount. These valuation adjustments are considered nonrecurring fair value adjustments. Equity securities – The Company measures equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes from an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, with price changes recognized in earnings . Assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) The following table presents the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, with adjustments recorded during the periods presented for those securities with observable price changes, if applicable. These equity securities are included in other investments on the balance sheet. • a $ 1.8 million and $ 2.2 million equity interest in a specialized bank technology company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively; • a $ 350,000 equity interest in a technology company as of the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024; and • a $ 42,000 and $ 47,000 equity interest in a technology company as of the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. 178 Table of Contents For the Year Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2023 Carrying value, beginning of period $ 2,619 $ 2,622 $ 2,572 Purchases — — 50 Observable price change ( 448 ) ( 3 ) — Carrying value, end of period $ 2,171 $ 2,619 $ 2,622 The following table provides a description of the valuation technique, unobservable inputs, and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company’s assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the date indicated: Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs December 31, 2025 Weighted Average Rate December 31, 2024 Weighted Average Rate Collateral dependent loans Collateral valuations Discount to appraised value 8.1 % 8.0 % Note 19 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of Topic 606 is recognized within noninterest income.

(2) Includes the following immaterial income streams that are within the scope of Topic 606: wire transfer fees, annuity fees, mortgage broker fees and brokerage fees. 179 Table of Contents A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under Topic 606 is as follows: Service Charges on Accounts: The Company earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based fees, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed.

We evaluate performance based on classifications within accounting and reporting systems, which provides line of business results. This system uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income and expense. A primary objective of this measurement system and related internal financial reporting practices are to produce consistent results that reflect the underlying financial impact of the segments on the Company and to provide a basis of support for strategic decision making. The accounting policies applicable to our segments are those that apply to our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these criteria, we have identified three segments: the community bank, CCBX, and treasury & administration. The Executive Leadership Team, which includes the CEO, Presidents, CFO and other key executive members, which the Company has designated as the CODMs, evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments by evaluating interest income and expense, noninterest income and significant expenses. The community bank segment includes all community banking activities. A primary focus of the community bank is on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium sized businesses in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington and through the Internet and our mobile banking application. We currently operate 14 full-service banking locations, 12 of which are located in Snohomish County, where we are the largest community bank by deposit market share, and two of which are located in neighboring counties ( one in King County and one in Island County). We also have a loan production office which is located in King county. The CCBX segment provides BaaS that allows digital financial service providers, companies and brands to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment has 28 partners as of December 31, 2025. The treasury & administration segment includes investments, debt and other reporting items that are not specific to the community bank or CCBX segments. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in future changes to previously reported segment financial data. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data. The Company continues to evaluate its methodology on allocating items to the Company’s various segments to support strategic business decisions by the Company’s executive leadership. Income and expenses that are specific to a segment are directly posted to each segment. Additionally, certain indirect expenses are allocated to each segment utilizing various metrics, such as number of employees, utilization of space, and allocations based on loan and deposit balances. We have implemented a transfer pricing process that credits or charges the community bank and CCBX segments with intrabank interest income or expense for the difference in average loans and average deposits, with the treasury & administration segment as the offset for those entries. 182 Table of Contents Financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments and the reconciliation to the consolidated financial results is shown in the following tables for the periods indicated.
