NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp (“FMCB” or “Bancorp”), a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware, and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Farmers & Merchants Bank of Central California (“F&M Bank” or the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”).
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the
accounting standards for interim financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Various elements of the Company’s
accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments,
estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are significant to an understanding of Bank’s financial statements. These policies relate to: (i) the determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses; (ii) the valuation of
financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value; (iii) the valuation of intangibles, such as goodwill and core deposit intangibles (“CDI”); (iv) the valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”); and (v) the valuation or recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities. These policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2025 (“2024 Form 10-K”) and Item 2 - Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2025, there were no
significant changes to accounting policies from those disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Use of estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies—Continued
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards — The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the FASB officially recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities. Periodically, the FASB will issue Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) to its ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of the federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for the Company as an SEC registrant. All other accounting literature is non-authoritative.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 , “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires public business
entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative
threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative
threshold, among other things. The Company adopted this standard with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the new income tax disclosures will be required beginning with our 2025 Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Pending Adoption — The following paragraphs provide descriptions of newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards that could have a material
effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “ Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) : Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, “ Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in
the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early
adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-02, “ Liabilities (Topic 405)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122 ” (“ASU 2025-02”), which
communicates changes to the FASB codification, including changes to non-authoritative SEC content. The update affects SEC registrants, makes amendments to the GAAP taxonomy and is effective upon issuance. Management has evaluated the impact of the
adoption of this standard and determined there would be no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2—Investment Securities—Continued
The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities is a contra-asset valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of held-to-maturity securities to present the net amount expected to be collected. Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. With regard to residential mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, or agencies thereof, it is expected that the securities will not be settled at prices less than the amortized cost basis of the securities as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of and/or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. With regard to securities issued by States and political subdivisions and other held-to-maturity securities, management considers (i) issuer bond ratings, (ii) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities, (iv) internal forecasts and (v) whether or not such securities are guaranteed or pre-refunded by the issuers.
Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price or dealer quote is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
The following tables show the gross unrealized losses for available-for-sale securities, for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months or 12 months or more:

Note 2—Investment Securities—Continued
As of June 30, 2025, the Company held 189 available-for-sale securities of which 32 securities were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and 107 securities were in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more without an allowance for credit losses. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company does not have the intent to sell and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery at maturity, it has been determined that there is no expected credit loss on these securities. Management evaluates the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, relying primarily on industry analyst reports and observations of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations.

Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed and CMO securities may differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 2—Investment Securities—Continued
The Company monitors the credit quality of those held-to-maturity securities not issued by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or government sponsored entities, through the use of credit ratings. Credit ratings are reviewed and updated quarterly. Nonrated municipal investments consist primarily of bonds issued by political subdivisions such as housing authorities and reclamation districts. Nonrated municipal investments are monitored through financial covenants and review of repayment history. As of June 30, 2025, there were no past due principal or interest payments associated with held-to-maturity municipal securities. There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10 % of shareholders’ equity.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower in order to assist the borrower in repaying principal and interest
owed to the Company. The Company’s modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally in the form of term extensions, repayment plans, payment deferrals, forbearance agreements, interest rate reductions, forgiveness
of interest and/or fees, or any combination thereof. Commercial loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are primarily loans that are substandard or non-accrual, where the maturity date was extended and/or the modified interest
rate and payment terms are not commensurate with the current market. Modifications on personal real estate loans are primarily those placed on forbearance plans, repayment plans, or deferral plans where monthly payments are suspended for a period
of time or past due amounts are paid off over a certain period of time in the future or set up as a balloon payment at maturity. Modifications to certain credit card and other small consumer loans are often modified under debt counseling programs
that can reduce the contractual rate or, in certain instances, forgive certain fees and interest charges. Other consumer loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty consist of various other workout arrangements with consumer
customers.

Two of the loans had the contractual term extended by six months and three loans had principal and interest deferrals of six months . The Company also modified one home equity loan with a 10 -year maturity extension and re-amortization.
The Company did not enter into any loan modifications with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of the modification efforts. A payment default is defined as a loan having a payment past due 90 days or more after a modification took place.
There was one loan modified within the last 12 months for $ 176,000 that had a payment default and was 86 days past due during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The effect of modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the ACL because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the ACL; therefore, a change to the ACL is generally not recorded upon
modification. If principal forgiveness is provided, that portion of the loan will be charged-off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the ACL. An assessment of whether the borrower is
experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Note 3—Loans and Leases—Continued
The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and leases and periodically performs detailed reviews of all such loans and leases over a certain threshold to identify credit risks and assess overall collectability. For smaller balance loans and leases, such as consumer and residential real estate, a credit grade is established at inception, and then updated only when the loan or lease becomes contractually delinquent or when the borrower
requests a modification. For larger balance loans and leases, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing
these loans and leases. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan or lease. These risk ratings can be grouped into five major categories, defined as follows:
Pass — A pass loan or lease is a strong credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. This category also includes “Watch”
loans, which is a loan with an emerging weakness in either the individual credit or industry that requires additional attention. A credit may also be classified Watch if cash flows have not yet stabilized, such as in the case of a development
project.
Special mention — A special mention loan or lease has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result
in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or lease or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans and leases are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant
adverse classification.
Substandard — A substandard loan or lease is not adequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral
pledged, if any. Loans or leases classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Well-defined weaknesses include a project’s lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or
collateral support, failure to complete construction on time or the project’s failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not
corrected.
Doubtful — Loans or leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make
collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable or improbable.
Loss — Loans or leases classified as loss are considered uncollectible. Once a loan or lease becomes delinquent and repayment becomes questionable, the Company will address
collateral shortfalls with the borrower and attempt to obtain additional collateral. If this is not forthcoming and payment in full is unlikely, the Company will estimate its probable loss and immediately charge-off some or all of the balance.

Note 3—Loans and Leases—Continued
A loan or lease is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. When management determines that
foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans or leases are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. The collateral on the loans and leases is a
significant portion of what secures the collateral dependent loans or leases, and significant changes to the fair value of the collateral can impact the allowance for credit losses.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis for collateral dependent loans and leases by type as of December 31, 2024:

Note 4—Other Real Estate Owned
OREO was $ 1.2 million and $ 873,000 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which includes property no longer utilized for business operations and property acquired through foreclosure proceedings. During the second quarter of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $ 326,000 in other real estate owned. This OREO property includes a first lien in the amount of $ 140,000 which is reflected in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. These properties are carried at fair value less selling costs determined at the date acquired. Losses, if any, arising from properties acquired through foreclosure are charged against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. Subsequent declines in value, periodic holding costs, and net gains or losses on disposition are included in other operating expense as incurred.

Note 7—Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Various financial instruments such as available-for-sale
securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans and other
real estate owned. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically involve lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-down of individual assets.
Fair Value is 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. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company
uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value. For accounting disclosure purposes, a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair value measurements has been established. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
•
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are
not active, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly (such as interest rates, yield curves, and prepayment speeds).
•
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed, using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market
participant would consider.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company are set forth below. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. They do not reflect any premium
or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for many of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on
judgements regarding future expected loss experience, risk characteristics and economic conditions. These estimates are subjective, involve uncertainties, and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.
Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation
techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair
value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the
bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

(Unaudited)
Note 7—Fair Value—Continued
The Company does not record all loans and leases at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan or lease is considered collateral dependent and an allowance for credit losses is
established. Once a loan or lease is identified as collateral dependent, management measures specific reserves in accordance FASB ASC Topic 326. The fair value of collateral dependent loans or leases is estimated using one of several
methods, including collateral value when the loan is collateral dependent, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, and discounted cash flows. Collateral dependent loans and leases not requiring an allowance represent loans and leases
for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans and leases. Collateral dependent loans and leases where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require
classification in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and internal appraisals of property values depending on the size and complexity of the real estate
collateral. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including sales comparison, cost and the income approach. Adjustments are often made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to take into
account differences between the comparable sales and income and other available data. Such adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The valuation technique used
for Level 3 non-recurring collateral dependent loans is primarily the sales comparison approach less estimated selling costs. The Company maintains a list of qualified property appraisers who review appraisal reports for reasonableness. In the
case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Values of all loan collateral are regularly
reviewed by credit administration. Unobservable inputs to these measurements, which include estimates and judgments often used in conjunction with appraisals, are not readily quantifiable. These measurements are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) is reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a
combination of approaches including sales comparison, cost and the income approach. Adjustments are often made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to take into account differences between the comparable sales and income and other
available data. Such adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The valuation technique used for Level 3 non-recurring OREO is primarily the sales comparison
approach less estimated selling costs.

Note 8—Earnings Per Share
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. 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 effects of outstanding restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method. Shares are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share when their inclusion has an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no potential common shares that were anti-dilutive.

Note 9—Employee Benefit Plans
Executive Retirement Plan
The Company, through the Bank, sponsors an Executive Retirement Plan (“ERP”) for certain executive level employees. The ERP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan and was developed to supplement the Company’s Profit Sharing Plan, which, as a qualified retirement plan, has a ceiling on benefits as set by the Internal Revenue Service. The ERP is comprised of: (1) a Performance Component which makes contributions based upon long-term cumulative profitability and increase in market value of the Company; (2) a Salary Component which makes contributions based upon participant salary levels; and (3) an Equity Component for which contributions are discretionary and subject to Board of Directors approval. The Company maintains a Rabbi Trust to fund, in part, the ERP. The Rabbi Trust is an irrevocable grantor trust to which the Company may contribute assets for the limited purpose of funding a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company may not use the assets of the Rabbi Trust for any purpose other than meeting its obligations under the ERP; however, the assets of the Rabbi Trust remain subject to the claims of its creditors and are included in the consolidated financial statements. The Company contributes cash to the Rabbi Trust from time to time for the sole purpose of funding the ERP. The Rabbi Trust will use any cash the Company contributes to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, and other financial instruments, on the open market. ERP contributions are invested in a mix of financial instruments; however, the Equity Component contributions are invested primarily in common stock of the Company. Effective November 29, 2024, each component of the ERP was terminated and frozen and no future contributions are permitted to be made. For each existing participant, the account balances will be liquidated and paid out to each participant at a time to be determined, but which will occur sometime between the 12 -month anniversary and the 24 -month anniversary of the termination of the components of the ERP pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Department of the Treasury.
The Company incurred no expense for the ERP during the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the freezing of the plans and a net expense of $ 4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s carrying value of the liability under the ERP was $ 61.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and $ 61.4 million as of December 31, 2024, which is included in interest payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company’s shares of common stock held as investments in the Rabbi Trust of the ERP as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled 48,292 and 48,877 shares with an historical cost basis of $ 31.6 million and $ 31.8 million, respectively. All amounts have been fully funded into the Rabbi Trust as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The consolidated investments held in the Rabbi Trust are recorded at fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses recorded within non-interest income, and the equal and offsetting charges in the related liability are recorded in non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Net gains on ERP investments were $ 1.3 million at June 30, 2025 and 2024. Balances in non-qualified deferred compensation plans may be invested in financial instruments whose market value fluctuates based upon trends in interest rates and stock prices.
Senior Management Retention Plan
The Company, through the Bank, sponsors a Senior Management Retention Plan (“SMRP”) for certain senior level employees. The SMRP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan and was developed to supplement the Company’s Profit Sharing Plan,
which, as a qualified retirement plan, has a ceiling on benefits as set by the Internal Revenue Service. All contributions are discretionary and subject to the Board of Directors approval. The Company maintains a Rabbi Trust to fund, in part,
the SMRP. The Rabbi Trust is an irrevocable grantor trust to which the Company may contribute assets for the limited purpose of funding a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company may not use the assets of the Rabbi Trust for any
purpose other than meeting its obligations under the SMRP; however, the assets of the Rabbi Trust remain subject to the claims of its creditors and are included in the consolidated financial statements. The Company contributes cash to the Rabbi
Trust from time to time for the sole purpose of funding the SMRP.

Note 9—Employee Benefit Plans—Continued
The Rabbi Trust will use any cash the Company contributes to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, and other financial instruments, on the open market. Contributions to the SMRP are invested primarily in common stock of the Company. Effective November 29, 2024, the SMRP was terminated and frozen and no future contributions are permitted to be made. For each existing participant, the account balances will be liquidated and paid out to each participant at a time to be determined, but which will occur sometime between the 12 -month anniversary and the 24 -month anniversary of the termination of the plan pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Department of the Treasury.
The Company incurred no expense for the SMRP during the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the freezing of the plans and a net expense of $ 2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The plan recognized $ 0.1 million in forfeitures for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s carrying value of the liability under the SMRP was $ 24.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and $ 21.2 million as of December 31, 2024, which is included in interest payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company’s shares of stock held as investments in the Rabbi Trust of the SMRP as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled 18,357 and 19,647 shares with an historical cost basis of $ 14.1 million and $ 14.6 million, respectively. All amounts have been fully funded into the Rabbi Trust as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The consolidated investments held in the Rabbi Trust are recorded at fair value with changes recorded within non-interest income and the equal and offsetting charges in the related liability are recorded in non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Net gains on SMRP plan investments were $ 0.3 million and $ 0.2 million at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Balances in non-qualified deferred compensation plans may be invested in financial instruments whose market value fluctuates based upon trends in interest rates and stock prices.

Note 10—Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock Award Plan
At the special meeting of shareholders held on November 25, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved the Farmers & Merchants Bancorp 2025 Restricted Stock Retirement Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 80,000 shares to directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. Due to the illiquidity of the stock, the fair value of the stock was determined using a volume weighted average price over a 30 -day period as of the grant date, which equaled $ 1,033.03 per share. The first awards were granted on February 3, 2025 and totaled 30,818 shares. The awards contain a service condition, which requires the employees to provide services during the applicable vesting periods. The awards were comprised of a one-year award for directors and two-year , three-year and four-year awards for employees depending on their roles and responsibilities. The awards vest on a pro-rated basis over the life of the award. Total remaining shares issuable under the 2025 Plan were 49,182 at June 30, 2025. The unvested restricted shares have voting rights and dividend rights; however, the dividends are paid to the holder only if, when and to the extent such unvested restricted shares vest. Dividends on forfeited restricted stock are also forfeited.
The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s nonvested shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 .

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit, and other types of financial guarantees. The Company had the following off balance sheet commitments as of the dates indicated.

Commitments to extend credit, including unsecured commitments of $ 20,828 and $ 20,535 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party with regard to standby letters of credit, undisbursed loan commitments, and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. 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. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for recorded balance sheet items. The Company may or may not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Evaluations of each customer’s creditworthiness are performed on a case-by-case basis. The estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments, which amounted to $ 2.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $ 2.7 million at December 31, 2024.

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies—Continued
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance of or payment for a customer to a third-party. Outstanding standby letters of credit at June 30, 2025 had maturity dates ranging from 1 to 57 months with a final expiration in some cases up to April 1, 2030. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
The Company has commitments to fund investments in low income housing tax credit investments (“LIHTC”) partnerships and limited liability companies. The Company invests in LIHTC partnerships and solar tax funds that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company accounts for these investments by amortizing the cost of tax credit investments over the life of the investment using a proportional amortization method, and tax credit investment amortization expense is a component of the provision for income taxes. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the investments in LIHTC was $ 41.2 million and $ 43.8 million, respectively. These balances are reflected in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Total unfunded commitments related to the investments in LIHTC totaled $ 16.2 million and $ 18.9 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These balances are reflected in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to fulfill these commitments through 2040. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized tax credits from its investments in LIHTC of $ 2.6 million and $ 4.4 million, respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in litigation arising out of its normal business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from the
disposition of such claims would not be material in relation to the financial position of the Company.
The Company may be required to maintain average reserves on deposit with the FRB primarily based on deposits outstanding. Reserve requirements are offset by the Company’s vault cash and deposit balances maintained with the FRB.
Note 13—Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “ Subsequent Events ”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2025 up through the date the Company issued the financial statements. During this period, there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure, other than the OREO property added during the second quarter of 2025 for $ 326,000 , which was sold during July 2025 at the carrying value.

The following discussion is intended to provide a comprehensive review of the Company’s operating results and financial condition. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements.”
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements reflect
our current views and are not historical facts. These statements may include statements regarding projected performance for periods following the date of this report. These statements can generally be identified by use of phrases such as
“believe,” “expect,” “will,” “seek,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “project,” “commit” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future financial condition, results of
operations, objectives, strategies, plans, goals or future performance and business are also forward-looking statements. Statements that project future financial conditions, results of operations, and shareholder value are not guarantees of
performance and many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” sections and other parts of this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”), and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. The following is a non-exclusive list of factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
◾
changes in general economic conditions, either nationally, in California, or in our local markets;
◾
inflation, changes in interest rates, securities market volatility and monetary fluctuations;
◾
increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions and businesses offering similar products and services;
◾
impacts of tariff policies by U.S. and foreign governments;
◾
risks associated with negative events in the banking industry, and any legislative and/or bank regulatory actions, that could potentially impact earnings, liquidity and/or the availability of capital or which could increase the
cost of our deposit insurance by the FDIC;
◾
higher defaults in our loan and lease portfolio than we expect;
◾
changes in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;
◾
risks associated with our growth and expansion strategy and related costs;
◾
increased lending risks associated with our high concentration of real estate loans or agricultural loans;
◾
legislative or regulatory changes or changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines;
◾
technological changes;
◾
operational risks, including processing, information systems, cybersecurity, vendor problems, business interruption, and fraud;
◾
regulatory or judicial proceedings; and
◾
other factors and risks including those described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, intended, committed or believed.
Please take into account that forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q (or documents incorporated by reference, if applicable).

The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements if it later becomes aware that actual results are likely to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking
statements, except as required by law.
Overview
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp (the “Company” or “FMCB”) is a Delaware registered bank holding company organized in 1999. As a registered bank holding company, FMCB is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal
Reserve and by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”). The Company’s principal business is to serve as a holding company for Farmers & Merchants Bank of Central California (the “Bank” or “F&M Bank”)
and for other banking or banking-related subsidiaries, which the Company may establish or acquire. Over 108 years ago, August 1, 1916, marked the first day of business for Farmers & Merchants Bank. The Bank was incorporated under the laws
of the State of California and licensed as a state-chartered bank. The Bank’s first venture out of Lodi occurred when the Galt office opened in 1948. Since then, the Bank has opened full-service branches in Linden, Manteca, Riverbank,
Modesto, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Turlock, Hilmar, Stockton, Merced, Walnut Creek, Concord, Walnut Grove, Oakland, Napa, and Danville. As a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, the Company’s principal source of funds is, and
will continue to be, dividends paid by and other funds received from the Bank. Legal limitations are imposed on the amount of dividends that may be paid and loans that may be made by the Bank to the Company.
The Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2025, consisted of 725,367 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The common stock of the Company is not
widely held or listed on any exchange. However, trades are reported on the OTCQX under the symbol “FMCB.”
The primary source of funding for the Company’s growth has been the generation of deposits, which the Company raises through its existing branch locations, newly opened branch locations, or through acquisitions. Loan growth over the years
is the result of organic growth generated by the Company’s seasoned relationship managers and supporting associates who provide outstanding service and responsiveness to the Company’s clients.
The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest earning assets, which are comprised of loans and leases, investment
securities, short-term investments and interest bearing deposits at other banks, and the interest the Company pays on interest bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits, and, to a lesser extent, other borrowings. Management strives to
match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.
The Company measures its performance by calculating the net interest margin, return on average assets, return on average equity and the efficiency ratio. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income, which is the
difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, by average interest earning assets. Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue. Interest rate
fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. The return on average assets is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income by its total average assets and
the return on average equity is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income by its shareholders’ equity. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. We identify critical policies and estimates as those that require management to make
particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different
assumptions. Our critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment. Further details are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measurements
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. The methodology for
determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies. We used the following non-GAAP measures in this Form 10-Q:
•
Tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors, and analysts, we disclose them
in addition to the related GAAP measures of return on average equity and book value per common share. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements are presented in the following tables for and as of the
periods presented.

Table of Contents
Factors that determine the level of net income include the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, yields earned and rates paid, fee income, non-interest expense, the level of non-performing loans and other non-earning
assets, and the amount of non-interest bearing liabilities supporting earning assets. Non-interest income includes card processing fees, service charges on deposit accounts, bank-owned life insurance income, gains/losses on the sale of
investment securities, and gains/losses on deferred compensation plan investments. Non-interest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, cost of deferred compensation benefits, occupancy, data processing, deposit
insurance, marketing, professional services, and other expenses.

Second Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2024
Interest bearing deposits with banks and FRB balances are earning assets available to the Company. Average interest bearing deposits with banks consisted primarily of FRB deposits. Balances with the FRB
earned an average interest rate of 4.45% and 5.48% for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) decreasing
rates by 100 basis points from September 2024 to December 2024. Average interest bearing deposits with banks was $377.5 million and $456.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest income on interest bearing deposits with banks was $4.2 million and $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The investment portfolio is also a component of the Company’s earning assets. Historically, the Company invested primarily in: (1) mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities; (2) debt securities issued by the U.S.
Treasury, government agencies and government-sponsored entities; and (3) investment grade bank-qualified municipal bonds. However, at certain times the Company has selectively added investment grade corporate securities (floating rate and
fixed rate with maturities less than 7 years) to the portfolio in order to obtain yields that exceed government agency securities of equivalent maturity. Since the risk factor for these types of investments is generally lower than that of
loans and leases, the yield earned on investments is generally less than that of loans and leases.
Average total investment securities were $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average yield on total investment securities was 3.31% and 2.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, respectively. The increase in the yield reflects the increase in yields on purchases in 2024 and during the period ended June 30, 2025.
Average loans and leases held for investment were $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average yield on the loan and lease portfolio was 6.08% and 6.13% for the quarter ended June
30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the loan yield reflects the decrease in market interest rates over the last year.
Average interest bearing deposits were $3.4 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 1.88% and 2.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total
interest expense on interest bearing deposits was $16.0 million and $17.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the decrease driven by decreases in short-term market interest rates from September 2024 to
December 2024. The average rate paid on total funding costs was 1.33% and 1.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Average interest bearing deposits with banks consisted primarily of FRB deposits. Balances with the FRB earned an average interest rate of 4.47% and 5.48% for the first
six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of the FOMC decreasing rates by 100 basis points from September 2024 to December 2024. Average interest bearing deposits
with banks was $307.7 million and $394.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest income on interest bearing deposits with banks was $6.8 million and $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024, respectively.
Average total investment securities were $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average yield on total investment securities was 3.25% and 2.60% for the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the yield reflects the increase in yields on purchases in 2024 and during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Average loans and leases held for investment were $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average yield on the loan and lease portfolio was 6.07% and 6.11% for the six months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the loan yield reflects the decrease in market interest rates over the last year.

Table of Contents
Average interest bearing deposits were $3.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 1.81% and 1.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Total interest expense on interest bearing deposits was $29.8 million and $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the decrease driven by decreases in short-term market interest rates from September
2024 to December 2024. The average rate paid on total funding costs was 1.26% and 1.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table shows the change in interest income and interest expense and the amount of change attributable to variances in volume, rates and the combination of volume and rates based on the relative changes of volume and rates. For
purposes of this table, the change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to change due to volume and rate in proportion to the relationship of absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $23.1 million and $46.1 million, respectively, compared to $21.8 million and $44.5 million for the same periods a year ago. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the
increase in net income was primarily the result of higher net interest income of $3.1 million and a $0.8 million increase in non-interest income. These increases were offset by a $1.4 million provision for credit losses during the second
quarter of 2025, compared to no provision in 2024, and an increase of $1.2 million in non-interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in net income was primarily the result of higher net interest income of $4.5 million and a $0.7 million increase in non-interest income. These increases were offset by a $1.7 million
provision for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to no provision in 2024, an increase of $1.2 million in non-interest expense and an increase in income tax expense of $0.7 million during the first half of 2025,
compared to the same period in the prior year.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net interest income was $53.9 million compared with $50.8 million, respectively. The increase in net interest income is primarily the result of the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis)
increasing 16 basis points to 4.07% compared with 3.91% for the same period a year earlier. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily the result of a decrease in deposit costs of $1.9 million due to the interest rate environment,
as the federal funds rate decreased 100 basis points from September through December of 2024, and a decrease in short-term borrowing costs of $0.9 million. The investment securities yield during the second quarter of 2025 increased 62 basis
points from 2.69% to 3.31% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The loan yield decreased 5 basis points from 6.13% to 6.08% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The deposit yield decreased 23 basis points from 2.11% to 1.88% and
outpaced the decrease in loan yield over the same period a year earlier.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net interest income was $107.0 million compared with $102.5 million, respectively. The increase is primarily the result of the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) increasing 11 basis
points to 4.13% compared with 4.02% for the same period a year earlier. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily the result of a decrease in deposit costs of $2.7 million due to the interest rate environment, as the federal funds
rate decreased 100 basis points September through December of 2024, and a decrease in short-term borrowing costs of $1.0 million. The investment securities yield increased 65 basis points from 2.60% to 3.25% compared to the first six months
of 2024. The loan yield decreased 4 basis points from 6.11% to 6.07% compared to the first six months of 2024. The deposit yield decreased 15 basis points from 1.96% to 1.81% and outpaced the decrease in loan yield over the same period a year
earlier.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses in each period is a charge against earnings in that period. The provision is the amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb
expected credit losses over the life of the loans and leases, unfunded loan commitments and HTM securities portfolios.
Based on the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio and the calculations of the allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, the Company recorded a $1.4
million provision for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to no provision for the same period a year ago. Net charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $544,000 compared to net recoveries of
$14,000 for the same period a year earlier.
The Company recorded a $1.7 million provision for credit losses during the first half of 2025 compared to no provision for credit losses during the first half of 2024. The increase in the provision was primarily due to higher net
charge-offs in the first half of 2025 and an increase in economic qualitative risk factors. Net charge-offs during the first half of 2025 were $704,000 compared to net recoveries of $67,000 in the first half of 2024.

Non-interest income increased $0.8 million, or 15.78%, to $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared with $4.8 million for the same period a year earlier. The year-over-year increase in non-interest income was primarily due
to a $0.4 million increase in the net gain on deferred compensation benefits and a $0.4 million increase in other non-interest income. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $126,000 in the gain on sale
of leases and a $94,000 increase in late charges collected.
The Company recorded net gains on deferred compensation plan investments of $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared with net gains of $0.4 million for the same respective period a year ago. See Note 10, “Employee Benefit
Plans,” located in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K for a description of these plans. Balances in non-qualified deferred compensation plans may be invested in financial instruments whose
market value fluctuates based upon trends in interest rates and stock prices. Although GAAP requires these investment gains/losses to be recorded in non-interest income, an offsetting entry is also required to be made to non-interest expense
resulting in no net-effect on the Company’s net income.
Non-interest income increased $0.7 million, or 7.09%, to $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $9.8 million for the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase in non-interest income was primarily due to
a $0.6 million increase in other non-interest income. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to a $133,000 increase in late charges collected, a $128,000 increase in the gain on sale of leases, and $86,000 in fee income
on derivatives compared to none for the prior year.

Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, income tax expense was $8.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively, compared to $8.4 million and $16.9 million for the same periods a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 26.43% and 27.67%, respectively, compared to 27.75% and 27.53% for the same period in 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due primarily to changes in the
mix of taxable and tax-exempt earning assets. The effective rates were lower than the combined Federal and State statutory rate of 30% primarily due to credits associated with low income housing tax credit investments (“LIHTC”) and tax-exempt
interest income on municipal securities and loans.

All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations were issued by an agency or government sponsored entity of the U.S. Government.
Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed and CMO securities may differ from contractual maturities
because borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. The Company evaluates securities for expected credit losses at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant
such evaluation.
Loans and Leases
Loans and leases can be categorized by borrowing purpose and use of funds. For detailed descriptions of the various loan types offered by the Company see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The Company’s loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2025 totaled $3.6 billion, a decrease of $54.4 million, or 1.47%, from December 31, 2024, due to lower loan production.

Non-Accrual Loans and Leases – Accrual of interest on loans and leases is generally discontinued when a loan or lease becomes contractually past due by 90 days
or more with respect to interest or principal. When loans and leases are 90 days past due, but in management’s judgment are well secured and in the process of collection, they may not be classified as non-accrual. When a loan or lease is
placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed. Income on such loans and leases is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable.
The Company had no non-accrual loans at June 30, 2025 and $929,000 in non-accrual loans at December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
Although management believes that non-performing loans and leases are generally well-secured and that potential losses are provided for in the Company’s allowance for credit losses, there can be no assurance that future deterioration in
economic conditions and/or collateral values will not result in future credit losses. See Note 3. “Loans and Leases”, located in “Item 1. Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for an allocation of the allowance
classified to collateral dependent loans and leases.
Other Real Estate Owned – OREO represents real property taken either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. The Company records all
OREO properties at amounts equal to or less than the fair market value of the properties based on current independent appraisals reduced by estimated selling costs. The Company reported $1.2 million of foreclosed OREO at June 30,
2025, and $873,000 at December 31, 2024.
Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulties – In the normal course of business, the Company may execute loan modifications to
borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Some of these modifications include: term extension, principal forgiveness, rate reduction, other-than-insignificant payment delay, or any combination of those. ASU 2022-02 requires certain
disclosure of loans and leases that have been modified within the past 12 months and the effects that those modifications had on the modified loans and leases. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial
difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses and because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness that is deemed to be uncollectable; therefore, the portion of the loan forgiven is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a
corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
The Company modified six loans in the aggregate amount of $2.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2025. There was one loan modified within the last six months
that had a payment default and was 86 days past due during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company modified six loans, with two borrowers, in the aggregate amount of $13.2 million, during the year ended December 31, 2024. These loans were current as of December 31, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses—Loans and Leases
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”).
The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after credit losses and loan and lease growth. Credit
exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance. The overall allowance consists of two primary components: specific
reserves related to individually evaluated loans and leases and general reserves comprised of both quantitative and qualitative factors for current expected credit losses related to loans and leases that are not individually evaluated. The
Company uses the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) methodology to calculate the ACL, as this method is deemed the most appropriate given the Company’s size and complexity. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -
Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Leases” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The allowance for credit losses is the combination of the allowance for credit losses on loan and lease losses and the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. The ACL for unfunded loan commitments is included within
“Interest payable and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Deposits are gathered from individuals and businesses in our market areas. The interest rates paid are competitively priced for each particular deposit product and structured to meet our funding requirements. The Company reduced interest
rates during the last four months of 2024 after the FOMC cut interest rates by 100 basis points between September and December. The average cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, decreased to 1.31% for the three
months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 1.51% for the same period a year ago, and to 1.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 1.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Bank participates in a program wherein the State of California places time deposits with the Bank at the Bank’s option. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $3.0 million of such deposits.
Total estimated uninsured deposits based on our regulatory reporting amounted to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2025 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Federal Reserve Bank Borrowings
Lines of Credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and FRB are other key sources of funds to support earning assets and liquidity. These sources of funds are also used to manage the Company’s interest rate risk exposure and, as opportunities
arise, to borrow and invest the proceeds at a positive spread through the investment portfolio. There were no FHLB advances at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. There were no Federal Funds purchased or advances from the FRB at June 30, 2025
or December 31, 2024.
Long-Term Subordinated Debentures
On December 17, 2003, the Company raised $10.0 million through the sale of subordinated debentures to an off-balance-sheet trust and its sale of trust-preferred securities. See Note 9. “Long-Term Subordinated Debentures” located in “Item
8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2024 Form 10-K. Although this amount is reflected as subordinated debt on the Company’s balance sheet, under current regulatory guidelines, our Trust Preferred Securities continue to
qualify as regulatory capital.
These securities accrue interest at a variable rate based upon 3-month SOFR plus 2.85%. Interest rates reset quarterly (the next reset is September 17, 2025), and the rate was 7.42% as of June 30, 2025 and 7.46% at December 31, 2024. The
average rate paid for these securities was 7.55% for the first half of 2025 and 8.60% for the first half of 2024. Additionally, if the Company decided to defer interest on the subordinated debentures, the Company would be prohibited by the
terms of the debentures, from paying cash dividends on the Company’s common stock.

The Company relies primarily on capital generated through the retention of earnings to satisfy its capital requirements. The Company engages in an ongoing assessment of its capital needs in order to support business growth and to insure
depositor protection. Shareholders’ Equity totaled $618.5 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of $45.5 million, or 7.9%, from $573.1 million at December 31, 2024, due primarily to net income of $46.1 million during the first half of 2025.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital adequacy guidelines as outlined under Part 324 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the
Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of these capital requirements and there were no restrictions on the Company’s business activity. As of June 30, 2025, the Bank met the requirements to be categorized as
“well-capitalized” under the FDIC regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
following tables as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On September 10, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Plan”) in which the Company may repurchase up to $55.0 million of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 9% of
outstanding shareholders’ equity at the time of approval. The Repurchase Plan extends through December 31, 2026.
Repurchases by the Company under the Repurchase Plan may be made from time to time at market prices through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, or privately negotiated transactions. In August
2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. Among other things, the IRA imposes an excise tax equal to 1% of the fair market value of any stock repurchased by covered corporations during a taxable year, subject to certain
limits and provisions.
During the first six months of 2025, the Company repurchased 5,249 shares under the Repurchase Plan, for a total of $5.3 million, inclusive of the excise tax. As of June 30, 2025, there remains $14.7 million authorized for repurchases
under the Repurchase Plan.
On May 12, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a mid-year cash dividend of $9.30 per share, a 5.7% increase over the $8.80 per share paid on July 1, 2024. The cash dividend totaling $6.5 million was paid on July 1, 2025, to shareholders
of record on June 10, 2025.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
Off-balance-sheet arrangements are any contractual arrangement to which an unconsolidated entity is a party, under which the Company has: (1) any obligation under a guarantee contract; (2) a retained
or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to that entity for such assets; (3) any obligation under certain derivative instruments;
or (4) any obligation under a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and
development services with the Company.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party with regard to standby letters of credit, undisbursed loan commitments, and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual notional amount of
those instruments. 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. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for recorded balance sheet items. The Company may or may not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Evaluations of each customer’s creditworthiness are
performed on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments, which amounted to $2.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $2.7 million at December 31, 2024.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance of or payment for a customer to a third-party. Outstanding standby letters of credit at June 30, 2025 had maturity dates ranging from 1 to
57 months with final expiration in some cases up to April 1, 2030. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Liquidity
The ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay maturing and non-maturing liabilities is of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators. In an effort to satisfy our liquidity needs, we actively manage our
assets and liabilities. We have access to immediate liquid resources in the form of cash, which totaled $291.8 million, or 5.3% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025. The majority of cash is on deposit with the FRB and amounted to $179.0
million. Potential sources of liquidity also include our ability to sell or pledge our available-for-sale securities portfolio, our held-to-maturity portfolio which can be pledged for borrowing purposes, our ability to sell loans in the
secondary market, and our ability to borrow from the FRB and FHLB. Our diversified deposit portfolio has historically provided us with a long-term source of stable low cost funding. Maturities and payments on outstanding loans and investment
securities also provide a steady flow of funds. Our liquidity, represented by cash borrowing lines, federal funds and available-for-sale securities, is a result of our operating, investing and financing activities and related cash flows. In
order to ensure funds are available at all times, we devote resources to projecting the amount of funds that will be required and we maintain relationships with a diversified client base. Liquidity requirements can also be met through
short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets. We actively monitor our liquidity on a daily basis and manage our liquidity and overall balance sheet positions through both our management and Board level Asset and Liability
Management committees (“ALCO”), which meet regularly during the year.
We had the following borrowing lines available at June 30, 2025:

We continued our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the first six months of 2025, and we believe our liquid assets and short-term borrowing credit lines are adequate to meet our cash flow needs for loan and lease
funding and deposit cash withdrawals for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, we had internal sources of liquidity comprised of $291.8 million in cash and $566.6 million of unencumbered investment securities, which represented in the
aggregate 15.7% of total assets. We also had $2.1 billion in external sources of liquidity as outlined in the table above, bringing our total available liquidity to $2.9 billion. Our pledged collateral on short-term borrowing lines is
comprised of $2.5 billion in loans and $1.5 million in investment securities held at market value. We have the option of either borrowing on our credit lines or selling these investment securities for cash flow needs.

Table of Contents
On a long-term basis, we can, as needed, meet our liquidity needs by changing the relative distribution of our asset portfolios by reducing our investment or loan and lease volumes, or selling or encumbering assets. Further, we can
increase liquidity by soliciting higher levels of deposit accounts through promotional activities and/or borrowing from our correspondent banks as well as the Federal Reserve and FHLB. At the current time, our long-term liquidity needs
primarily relate to funds required to support loan and lease originations and commitments and deposit withdrawals.
We believe we can meet all of these needs from existing liquidity sources. Our liquidity is comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from or used in operating activities; cash flows from or used in investing activities; and
cash flows from or used in financing activities. Net cash provided by or used in operating activities has consisted primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash income and expense items such as the credit loss provision, investment
and other amortization and depreciation. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2025 was $61.3 million, driven by net income of $46.1 million.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and leases and purchases and sales of investment securities. Net cash used in investing activities was $31.3 million during the first six months of 2025, driven by a net
increase of purchases in our investment portfolio of $123.3 million in available-for-sale securities offset by a decrease in loans and leases of $54.1 million and proceeds from the sale, maturities, calls, and pay downs of investment
securities of $51.0 million.
As of June 30, 2025, we had unfunded loan commitments of $1.1 billion and unfunded letters of credit of $18.2 million. At June 30, 2025, we believe that we had sufficient sources of funds available to meet current loan commitments.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $49.1 million in the first six months of 2025, driven by an increase in deposits of $61.2 million, partially offset by $6.5 million dividends paid and $5.3 million in stock repurchases.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s assessment of market risk at June 30, 2025 indicates there have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures from those made in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate
risk inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk exposure. We do not have any market-risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes. In monitoring
interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage our earning assets and funding liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities and/or prepayments, and their sensitivity to actual or potential
changes in market interest rates.
Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the re-pricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities designed to ensure that exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited within our guidelines of acceptable levels
of risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the terms and pricing of loans and deposits, and managing the deployment of our securities, are considered to reduce mismatches in interest rate re-pricing opportunities of portfolio assets and
their funding sources.
58
Table of Contents
Since our earnings are primarily dependent on our ability to generate net interest income, we focus on actively monitoring and managing the effects of adverse changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Our Asset Liability
Management Committee, which is comprised of members of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers, manages market risk. ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on net interest income from potential changes in
interest rates, and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. ALCO manages our balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income within
acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. ALCO and management utilize a third party to assist with asset liability management including the use of simulation models.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine our change in net interest income in the event of
hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within risk tolerances determined by ALCO, and approved by the full Board of Directors, Management
may make adjustments to the Company’s asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk levels within the Board approved limits.
Net Interest Income Simulation. In order to measure interest rate risk, we use a simulation model to project changes in net interest income that result from forecasted changes in interest rates.
This analysis calculates the difference between net interest income forecasted using a rising and a falling interest rate scenario and a net interest income forecast using a base market interest rate derived from the current Treasury yield
curve. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding the re-pricing relationships for each of our products. Many of our assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed to re-price immediately, and to the same extent as
the change in market rates according to their contracted index.
Some loans and investment vehicles include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options), and accordingly the simulation model uses various proprietary models to estimate these prepayments and assumes the reinvestment of the proceeds at
current yields. Our non-term deposit products generally re-price more slowly, usually changing less than the change in market rates and at our discretion.
This analysis indicates the impact of changes in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet size remains static throughout the simulation horizon by replacing existing cash
flows/amortization into similar products at current rates to try and capture the ongoing activity of the balance sheet without forecasting any level of growth. It does not account for all factors that affect this analysis, including changes
by management to mitigate the effect of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to our credit risk profile as interest rates change.
Furthermore, loan prepayment-rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate changes create changes in actual loan prepayment rates that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in this analysis. Changes
that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on our net interest income.
For the rising and falling interest rate scenarios, the base market interest rate forecast was increased or decreased, on an instantaneous and sustained basis, by 100, 200 and 300 basis points. We then evaluate the simulation results using
two approaches: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, the impact on net interest income from the changes in interest rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities is modeled using various assumptions of assets and liabilities. EVE measures the period-end present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities. Management uses this value to measure the changes in the economic value of
the Company under various interest rate scenarios.
Based on our quarterly simulations, our net interest margin exposure related to these hypothetical changes in market interest rates was within the current guidelines established by ALCO. Our simulation model highlights the fact that our
balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means that our net interest income rises in a rising interest rate environment as rates earned on our interest bearing assets reprice higher and at a faster pace than rates paid on our interest bearing
liabilities.

Table of Contents
The ratio of variable to fixed-rate loans in our loan portfolio, the ratio of short-term (maturing at a given time within 12 months) to long-term loans, and the ratio of our demand, money market and savings deposits to CDs (and their time
periods), are the primary factors affecting the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our short-term loans are typically priced at prime plus a margin, and our long-term loans are typically priced based
on a specific term of the Treasury Curve for comparable maturities, plus a margin. The composition of our rate-sensitive assets or liabilities is subject to change and could result in a more unbalanced position that would cause market rate
changes to have a greater impact on our net interest margin. As of June 30, 2025, our loan and lease portfolio was comprised of 58.34% fixed rate and 41.66% variable rate loans. The majority of our variable loans also contain interest rate
floors which are designed to mitigate the impact of decreases in interest rates as index rates drop.
The following table present the projected change in the Company’s net interest income over the next twelve months and the economic value of equity at June 30, 2025, that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on the
models discussed above, but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract such change:

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures (as required by Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-15(b) and 15d-14(a)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as provided in the
SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, to which this
report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in litigation arising out of its normal business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from
the disposition of such claims would not be material in relation to the financial position of the Company.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
We are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, future results, and the trading price of our common stock. You should read carefully the following
information together with the information appearing in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K. The following information supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, supersedes some of the information appearing in the “Risk
Factors” section of our 2024 Form 10-K. These risk factors, as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other information appearing in this Report, should be reviewed carefully for important
information regarding risks that affect us.
Changes in or uncertainty around U.S. and foreign government policies, including the imposition of or further increases in tariffs and changes to existing trade agreements, could have a
material adverse effect on the Bank’s customers, which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In February 2025, the new Trump Administration announced that it would be imposing
increases in tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. from Canada, Mexico, and China, and, in April 2025, the Administration announced the imposition of increased tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. from other countries. As a consequence,
other countries, in retaliation to the U.S.’s announced tariff measures, announced the imposition of increased levels of tariffs on goods exported to such countries by companies in the U.S. The Administration subsequently announced a delay of
90 days in the implementation of those increased tariffs for most other countries, leaving in place, however, a 10% baseline tariff that went into effect on April 5 and that applies to nearly all imports from all countries. The 90-day pause
on the implementation of nearly all of the country-specific tariffs was initially set to expire on July 8, 2025, but was extended to August 1, 2025, to provide additional time to negotiate and finalize bilateral trade agreements with key
countries. On July 31, 2025, the Trump Administration issued an Executive Order further adjusting the tariff rates to be applied against nearly 70 countries, effective August 7, 2025. The Trump Administration has announced agreements in
principle regarding tariffs with certain significant trading partners of the United States, including the European Union and South Korea. It remains uncertain whether such agreements in principle will lead to definitive agreements with such
trading partners and, if so, on what terms and whether agreements with other trading partners will eventually be consummated. These tariffs could be of particular concern to U.S. companies operating in the agricultural sector who export
agricultural goods to other countries. The Company’s customers include a number of agricultural businesses, which could be affected, but to what extent remains uncertain.
As a result of these changes to U.S. and foreign government trade policies, there may be changes to existing trade agreements, greater restrictions on free trade generally, the imposition of or significant further increases in tariffs on
goods imported into the U.S., and adverse responses by foreign governments to U.S. trade policies, among other possible changes. While the Administration has announced a delay in the implementation of those increased tariffs for most
countries until August 1, 2025, the 10% baseline tariff that applies to nearly all imports from all countries remains in effect, country-specific bilateral trade negotiations are ongoing, and it remains unclear what the Administration or
foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs or trade agreements and policies. The extent and duration of any tariffs, and the resulting impact on global, national and state economic conditions generally, and on our
customers’ businesses in particular, are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, the responses of such countries, and exemptions or exclusions that may be granted. A significant
trade disruption or the establishment or further increase of any tariffs, trade protection measures or restrictions could result in lost sales, adversely impacting our banking customers and their businesses, including our agricultural
business customers. Impacts to the general economic conditions, such as a heighted risk of a recession caused by lower GDP, higher unemployment and/or changes in the interest rate environment, could adversely impact our business. In addition,
international trade disputes, including those related to tariffs, could result in inflationary pressures and/or adversely impact global supply chains, which could increase the costs of doing business for our banking customers. Changes in U.S.
social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the countries where our banking customers currently sell products, including agricultural
products, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the U.S. and U.S. businesses as a result of such changes, could also have a material adverse effect on our banking customers’ business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. If these events negatively affect our banking clients, or general economic conditions nationally, in California, or in our local markets, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The aggregate purchase price and weighted average price per share does not include the effect of excise tax expense incurred on net stock repurchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, excise tax
expense totaled $53,000.
On September 10, 2024 the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Plan”) in which the Company may repurchase up to $55.0 million of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 9% of
outstanding shareholders’ equity at the time of approval. The Repurchase Plan extends through December 31, 2026.
Repurchases by the Company under the Repurchase Plan may be made from time to time at market prices through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, or privately negotiated transactions. In August
2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. Among other things, the IRA imposes an excise tax equal to 1% of the fair market value of any stock repurchased by covered corporations during a taxable year, subject to certain
limits and provisions.
During the first six months of 2025, the Company repurchased 5,249 shares under the Repurchase Plan, for a total of $5.3 million, inclusive of the excise tax. As of June 30, 2025, there remains $14.7 million authorized for repurchases
under the Repurchase Plan.
