In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise indicated or the context suggests otherwise, references to “FirstSun” refer to FirstSun Capital Bancorp, and the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to FirstSun and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Sunflower Bank, N.A., which we refer to as the “Bank.”
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, statements regarding our merger with First Foundation Inc. (“First Foundation”), statements relating to our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), the impact of changes to our key mortgage servicing right valuation assumptions, credit quality, financial performance, liquidity, short and long-term performance goals, prospects, results of operations, strategic initiatives, the benefits, costs and synergies of completed acquisitions or dispositions, and the timing, benefits, costs and synergies of future acquisitions, dispositions and other growth opportunities. They are not statements of historical or current fact nor are they assurances of future performance, and they generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “goal,” “objective,” “prospects,” “possible,” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “assume,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control and should be viewed with caution.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
• changes in market interest rates and their related impacts on macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, our funding costs, and our loan and securities portfolios;
• changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve, and uncertainty concerning interest rates, government shutdowns, debt ceilings or funding for the government, and tariffs and trade policies, can cause volatility in financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;
• the potential effects of events beyond our control that may have a destabilizing effect on financial markets, economic growth, customer and client behavior and the economy in general, such as an increase in unemployment levels, inflation and recessions, U.S. and global trade policies and tensions, including changes in, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or trade barriers, epidemics and pandemics, terrorist activities, wars and other foreign conflicts, essential utility outages, climate change, deterioration in the global economy, instability in the credit markets, disruptions in our customers’ supply chains or disruption in transportation;
• ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including hostilities involving Iran and the Middle East, which may contribute to volatility in energy prices, inflation, financial markets, cybersecurity threats, and broader macroeconomic conditions, any of which could adversely affect our borrowers, deposit base, liquidity, capital and results of operations;
• the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the completed First Foundation acquisition, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all;
• the integration of the businesses and operations of the Company and First Foundation may take longer than anticipated or be more costly than anticipated or have unanticipated adverse results relating to the combined company’s business;
• the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the completed First Foundation acquisition and related integration;
• the effects of changes in legislation, regulation, policies or administrative practices, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative action and other changes pertaining to banking, securities, taxation, rent regulation and housing, financial accounting and reporting, environmental protection and insurance and our ability to comply with such changes in a timely manner;
• the risk that we may be required to make substantial expenditures to keep pace with regulatory initiatives and the rapid technological changes in the financial services market;
• competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers including non-bank financial technology providers and our ability to attract customers from other financial institutions;
• any unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions in the national or local economies in which we operate;
• market conditions related to and the impact of our stock repurchase program;
3
• our loan concentration in industries or sectors that may experience unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions than other industries or sectors in the national or local economies in which we operate;
• increased capital requirements, other regulatory requirements or enhanced regulatory supervision;
• cybersecurity risks and the vulnerability of our network and online banking portals, and the systems or parties with whom we contract, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss and other security breaches that could adversely affect our business, financial performance or reputation;
• risks related to the development and use of artificial intelligence;
• risks with respect to our ability to identify and complete future mergers or acquisitions, as well as our ability to successfully expand and integrate those businesses and operations that we acquire;
• risks related to enhanced regulatory requirements and scrutiny as a result of our assets exceeding $10 billion following the First Foundation acquisition, including increased regulatory compliance costs;
• the risks of expansion into new geographic or product markets;
• the inability to manage strategic initiatives and/or organizational changes;
• our ability to attract and retain key employees;
• an insufficient allowance for credit losses or volatility in the allowance for credit losses resulting from the CECL methodology, either alone or as that may be affected by changing economic conditions, credit concentrations, inflation, changing interest rates, or other factors;
• changes in accounting principles, policies, practices or guidelines;
• our reliance on third parties to provide key components of our business infrastructure and services required to operate our business;
• the availability of and access to capital;
• failures of internal controls and other risk management systems;
• the outcome (including judgments, costs, fines, reputational harm, inability to obtain necessary approvals and/or other negative effects) of pending or threatened litigation or of matters before or involving regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future;
• losses due to fraudulent or negligent conduct of our customers, third-party service providers or employees;
• limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends and other distributions from our bank to our holding company, which could affect our holding company’s liquidity, including its ability to pay dividends to stockholders or take other capital actions; and
• other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We caution readers that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, is not necessarily in order of importance and readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should also consider the risks, assumptions and uncertainties set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 6, 2026 (our “ 2025 Annual Report ”), as well as any additional factors that might be reported in future filings that we make with the SEC. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we do not intend to and disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required to do so under the federal securities laws.

FIRSTSUN CAPITAL BANCORP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
($ in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun” or “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunflower Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), First Foundation Advisors (which also operates as FirstSun Advisors and Sunflower Wealth Advisors), and FEIF Capital Partners, LLC, and have been prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices in the banking industry. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These entities are collectively referred to as “our”, “us”, “we”, or “the Company”.
Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim financial statements are unaudited, and include, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with FirstSun’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our 2025 Annual Report . See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K and this Note 1 for additional information on the Company’s significant accounting policies. There have not been any significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, except as discussed below. The accounting policy on Loans Receivable, specifically with respect to acquired loans, is updated below to include additional guidance following the Company’s early adoption of ASU 2025‑08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans” in connection with its acquisition of First Foundation Inc.
Business Combination - On April 1, 2026, FirstSun completed its previously announced acquisition of First Foundation Inc. (“First Foundation”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 27, 2025, by and between FirstSun and First Foundation, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”). At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), First Foundation merged with and into FirstSun, with FirstSun surviving the merger. Immediately following the merger, First Foundation Bank, a California-chartered banking corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of First Foundation, merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank continuing as the surviving bank. Further information is presented in Note 2 - Acquisition of First Foundation Inc.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that are believed to be reasonable based on all available information. Our reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to critical accounting policies. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
Reclassifications - Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Previously, deposit amounts related to certain NOW accounts with limited monthly transaction activity were able to be reclassified to money market accounts to reduce reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve. As there is no longer any impact to reserve requirements across different deposit products, we have discontinued this product reclassification practice and have revised the presentation of those deposits to conform to the current presentation for periods prior to March 31, 2026. Reclassifications had no effect on prior years net income or stockholders’ equity.
12
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted - As an “emerging growth company” under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to non-public business entities. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period for an “emerging growth company” for as long as it is available to us. For standards that we have delayed adoption, we may lack comparability to other companies who have adopted such standards.
ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU 2025-05 provides all entities, when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and/or current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a practical expedient whereby entities can assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 became effective for us in 2026 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2025‑08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” The amendments in ASU 2025-08 amend the guidance in ASC 326 to expand and clarify the accounting for acquired loans, including “purchased seasoned loans,” with the objective of addressing concerns about complexity and potential double counting of expected credit losses in acquisition accounting. ASU 2025-08 requires entities to apply the amendments prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date and does not require retrospective restatement of prior periods. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2025-08 in connection with its acquisition of First Foundation, which was completed on April 1, 2026. The Company applied the guidance prospectively to loans acquired in the transaction and will apply the updated guidance to any subsequent acquisitions occurring on or after initial adoption. Early adoption of the ASU 2025-08 affected the timing and measurement of expected credit losses for acquired performing loans. The impact from adoption is included in the accompanying footnotes.
Updates to our Significant Accounting Policies
a. Loans Receivable
Acquired Loans – Loans acquired through a purchase or a business combination are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans. Management performs an assessment of acquired loans to first determine if such loans have experienced a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination and thus should be classified and accounted for as PCD loans using a gross-up method where the sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) becomes its initial amortized cost basis. At acquisition, the ACL for PCD loans is measured in accordance with the Company’s credit loss methodology and is added to the purchase price to establish the initial amortized cost basis under the gross-up approach. Any difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of the loans is considered to be a non-credit discount or premium. This non-credit discount or premium is accreted or amortized into interest income using the interest method. Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for PCD loans is determined pursuant to the Bank ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans. Characteristics of PCD loans include the following: delinquency, payment history since origination, credit scores migration and/or other factors the Bank may become aware of through its initial analysis of acquired loans that may indicate there has been a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since a loan’s origination.
Purchased Seasoned Loans . Loans acquired that have not experienced a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are deemed purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”) and are accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition described above for PCD loans. All non-PCD loans that are acquired in a business combination are deemed PSLs. Other non-PCD loans are PSLs if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. At acquisition, the ACL for PSLs is measured in accordance with the Company’s credit-loss methodology and is added to the purchase price to establish the initial amortized cost basis under the gross-up approach. Any difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of the loans is considered to be a non-credit discount or premium. This non-credit discount or premium is accreted or amortized into interest income using the interest method. Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for PSLs is determined pursuant to the Bank’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.
13
Non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated (non-PCD) Loans. Before the Company’s adoption of ASU 2025-08 , Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans in connection with the First Foundation acquisition on April 1, 2026 , acquired loans that are not deemed to have experienced a more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination are considered non-PCD. Non-PCD loans are recorded at fair value, with any resulting discount or premium accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. Additionally, upon the purchase or acquisition of non-PCD loans, management measures and records an allowance for credit losses based on the Bank’s methodology for determining the ACL. The ACL for non-PCD loans is recorded through a charge to the provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans are purchased or acquired. Subsequent to acquisition, the allowance for credit losses for non-PCD loans is determined pursuant to the Bank’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for us, on a prospective basis, for annual periods beginning in 2027, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning in 2028, though early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” ASU 2025-06 simplifies and modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing prescriptive project stage guidance and introducing a new capitalization threshold. Under the revised standard, software development costs are capitalized when management authorizes and commits funding for the project and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. ASU 2025-06 will be effective in 2028 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2025‑09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” ASU 2025-09 amends ASC 815 to align hedge accounting more closely with an entity’s economic risk management practices. Key amendments include (i) to allow designating a variable price component of a nonfinancial forecasted purchase or sale as the hedged risk, (ii) to allow grouping individual forecasted transactions with similar (not identical) risk exposures, (iii) a new model for hedging forecasted interest on variable-rate debt, enabling changes in index or tenor without dedesignation, subject to simplifying assumptions, and (iv) additional clarifications related to hedge accounting of nonfinancial components, net written options, and dual-hedge strategies. ASU 2025-09 will be effective for us beginning in 2027, though early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2025‑11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements.” ASU 2025-11 clarifies and enhances guidance under ASC 270 on interim financial reporting by (i) clarifying the scope of ASC 270 such that it now explicitly applies only to entities that issue complete interim financial statements and related notes under U.S. GAAP, (ii) establishing clear guidance on the form of interim statements and notes, incorporating a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures drawn from across the ASC, and (iii) introducing a requirement to disclose material events and changes occurring after the end of the last annual period that could impact interim results. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for us for interim periods beginning in 2028, though early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 - Acquisition of First Foundation Inc.
As described under the title “Business Combination” in Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation , on April 1, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of First Foundation, the holding company for First Foundation Bank, a California-chartered banking corporation.
Consideration
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of First Foundation common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares specified in the Merger Agreement) became entitled to receive 0.16083 of a share of FirstSun common stock (the “exchange ratio”), with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. In addition, at the Effective Time, each then-outstanding share of First Foundation Series A Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A stock”) and Series C Non-Voting Common Equity Equivalent
14
Stock (the “Series C stock” and together with the Series A stock, the “First Foundation Preferred Stock”) was converted into the right to receive 0.16083 of a share of FirstSun common stock for each share of First Foundation common stock into which the First Foundation Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions. In connection with the merger, we issued approximately 16.1 million voting shares and 2.6 million non-voting shares of FirstSun common stock to stockholders of First Foundation, with the stock consideration valued at approximately $ 682.8 million as of March 31, 2026, the last trading day before consummation of the acquisition. In addition, we made an aggregate cash payment of $ 17.5 million to First Foundation warrant holders and assumed First Foundation non-vested restricted stock awards with an estimated pre-combination vesting value of $ 3.3 million. Total aggregate consideration paid in the First Foundation merger was $ 703.6 million.
Fair Value
The acquisition of First Foundation constituted a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make assumptions related to discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are subjective in nature and subject to change. Accordingly, these fair value estimates related to the assets and liabilities from First Foundation are considered preliminary as of June 30, 2026, and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available. Valuations subject to refinement include, but are not limited to, loans, certain deposits, certain other assets, and the core deposit intangible asset.
In connection with the acquisition of First Foundation, the Company recorded preliminary goodwill of $ 9.1 million, allocated entirely to the Company’s Banking segment, none of which is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies, operational efficiencies, and other factors to arise from the transaction.
15
Estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction are as follows:
April 1,
2026
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,744,217
Investment securities 2,851,696
Loans held-for-sale 1,121,702
Loans, net of allowance for credit losses 4,835,795
Premises and equipment 41,292
Bank-owned life insurance 51,765
Core deposits and other intangible assets 90,214
Accrued interest receivable 38,032
Deferred tax assets, net 220,280
Prepaid expenses and other assets 189,720
Total assets acquired 11,184,713
Deposits 8,772,082
Borrowings 1,453,657
Subordinated debt 167,559
Accrued expenses and other liabilities 96,900
Total liabilities assumed 10,490,198
Fair value of net assets acquired 694,515
Purchase price 703,568
Goodwill $ 9,053
The Company assessed the fair value based on the following methods for the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value was determined to approximate the carrying amount based on the short-term nature of these assets.
Investment securities: The fair value of the investment portfolio was based on pricing obtained by independent pricing services and quoted market prices.
Loans held for sale (“LHFS”): Fair values for LHFS were based on quotes or bids from third parties.
Unpaid principal balance Premium/ (discount) Loans and leases Allowance for credit losses Net loans and leases
Loans held-for sale 1,228,357 ( 106,655 ) 1,121,702 — 1,121,702
Loans held for investment (“LHFI”): Fair values for LHFI were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considered factors including loan type, interest rate type, prepayment speeds, duration, and current discount rates. The discount rate was developed considering the funding costs, a market participant’s required rate of return on equity capital, plus adjustments reflecting servicing costs and a liquidity premium. Expected cash flows were derived using inputs that considered estimated credit losses and prepayments.
The following tables reconcile the par value of the First Foundation loan portfolio as of the purchase date to the fair value indicated in the table above. For purchased seasoned loans and purchased credit-deteriorated loans, an initial allowance for credit losses is measured under the Company’s CECL methodology and added to the purchase price to establish the initial
16
amortized cost basis (the “gross-up approach”). The remaining difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance represents the non-credit discount or premium.
Unpaid principal balance Premium/ (discount) Loans and leases Allowance for credit losses Net loans and leases
Purchased Seasoned Loans 4,750,339 ( 261,778 ) 4,488,561 ( 55,136 ) 4,433,425
Purchased Credit Deteriorated 512,035 ( 72,301 ) 439,734 ( 37,364 ) 402,370
Total 5,262,374 ( 334,079 ) 4,928,295 ( 92,500 ) 4,835,795
Premises and equipment: The fair value of bank premises and equipment held for use was valued by obtaining recent market data for similar property types with adjustments for characteristics of individual properties.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”): The fair value of BOLI is carried at its current cash surrender value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) and customer relationship intangible: CDI represents the future economic benefit of acquired customer deposits. The fair value of the CDI asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that incorporated expected customer attrition rates, cost of deposit base, net maintenance cost associated with customer deposits, and the cost for alternative funding sources. The discount rates used were based on market rates. Customer relationship intangible assets represent the value associated with customer relationships related to the wealth management business that was acquired.
Deferred taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the acquisition-date financial statement carrying amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their respective tax bases, using enacted federal and state income tax rates expected to apply when those temporary differences reverse. The Company evaluated the realizability of the acquired deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC Topic 740 based on all available positive and negative evidence, including the expected future taxable income of the combined company, and recorded a valuation allowance to the extent it was more likely than not that any portion of the acquired deferred tax assets would not be realized.
Restricted stock: The carrying value approximates the fair value.
Lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities: The fair value of the lease ROU assets was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability and evaluated for favorable or unfavorable lease terms when compared with market terms on a lease-by-lease basis.
Deposits: The fair value of interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits is the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that includes a market rate analysis of the current rates offered by market participants for certificates of deposits that mature in the same period.
Borrowings: Acquired borrowings consist of $ 1.0 billion in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) putable advances and $ 400 million in FHLB term advances. The fair value of FHLB advances was estimated based on the prepayment penalties incurred upon extinguishment of the borrowings on April 1, 2026.
Subordinated debt: The fair value of the subordinated debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, factoring in market terms and the structural terms of the borrowings.
Merger Related Expenses
Merger related expenses were $ 57.6 million and $ 0.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and were $ 60.2 million and $ 0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and are recorded in “Merger related expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and have been expensed as incurred. Such costs included employee severance, other employee related costs, contract termination expenses, professional fees, and facilities related costs. On a net-of-tax basis, merger related expenses were $ 43.9 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months
17
ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and were $ 46.0 million and $ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table presents for illustrative purposes only certain pro forma financial information as if the Company had acquired First Foundation on January 1, 2025. These results combine the historical results of First Foundation with the Company's historical consolidated results and while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2025. No adjustments have been made to the pro forma results regarding possible revenue enhancements, provision for credit losses, or expense efficiencies. Pro forma adjustments below include the net impact of First Foundation’s accretion and the elimination of merger-related costs, as disclosed below. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, as a result of the acquisition, which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands):

Net income available to common shareholders 21,470 40,147 47,176 81,433
The Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of First Foundation subsequent to the acquisition on April 1, 2026. Disclosure of the revenue and earnings of First Foundation since the acquisition date, as would otherwise be required by ASC 805-10-50-2(h), is impracticable. The Company has not converted First Foundation’s general ledger, deposit, loan servicing, and other operating systems onto the Company’s platforms, and this conversion is not expected to occur until late in the third quarter of 2026. As a result, First Foundation’s post-acquisition results are not separately captured in the Company’s financial reporting systems and cannot be reliably disaggregated from the combined operating results without unreasonable effort and expense.

We do not consider the unrealized losses to be credit-related, as these unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. We do not have plans to sell any of the available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2026, and we believe it is more likely than not that we would not be required to sell such available-for-sale debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost.
We continue to monitor unrealized loss positions for potential credit impairments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no credit impairments related to our investment securities.
The amortized cost and fair value of our debt securities by contractual maturity as of June 30, 2026 are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or earlier redemptions that may occur.

Credit risk monitoring and management is a continuous process to manage the quality of the loan portfolio. We segment loans into risk categories based on relevant borrower risk profile information, including the ability of borrowers to service their debt based on current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends among other factors. The risk rating system is used as a tool to analyze and monitor movements in loan portfolio quality.
26
Risk ratings meeting an internally specified exposure threshold are updated annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of a circumstance that affects the credit risk of the loan. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – Loans classified as Pass have a well-defined primary source of repayment, an acceptable financial position profile (including capitalization), profitability and minimal operating risk.
Pass/Watch – Pass/Watch loans require close attention by bank management and enhanced monitoring due to quantitative or qualitative concerns linked to adverse trends or near-term uncertainty. A covenant default or other type of requirement shortfall may have arisen subsequent to a loan's booking or borrower now shows signs of weakness in the overall base of confirmable financial resources available to repay the loan. However, overall financial capacity and performance are considered sufficient to support an expectation of continued payment performance and / or mitigating factors exist that are expected to limit the risk of near-term default and loss.
Special Mention – Special Mention loans have identified potential weaknesses that are of sufficient materiality to require management’s (persistent) close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the bank's credit position under normal business operations. Special Mention loans contain greater-than-acceptable risk and therefore do not warrant additional credit exposure absent appropriate mitigating factors; they are thus considered “criticized,” non-pass rated credits. They may contain weaknesses (that have arisen due to deteriorating conditions since origination) and / or underwriting exceptions that are not currently offset by mitigating factors. However, these weaknesses, while sufficient to constitute significantly elevated credit risk, are not sufficient to support a conclusion that the liquidation of the debt is in significant jeopardy.
Substandard - Accruing – Substandard - Accruing loans are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor(s). Loans classified as Substandard - Accruing possess one or more well-defined weaknesses that are expected to jeopardize their liquidation but the weaknesses have not progressed to a point where recent late payments on the loan have become more than 90 days past due. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank may sustain up to a moderate but not significant level of loss if such weaknesses are not corrected. Losses for Substandard - Accruing loans are moderated by the lower likelihood of ultimate default and the existence of relatively favorable secondary repayment protection. These loans are considered “classified”.
Substandard - Nonaccrual – Substandard - Nonaccrual loans are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as Substandard - Nonaccrual possess material, well-defined weaknesses that are expected to jeopardize their liquidation and have progressed to a point where consistently late payments on the loan have become more than 90 or more days past due. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank may sustain a material level of loss if such weaknesses are not corrected. Losses for Substandard - Nonaccrual loans are prone to being elevated based on the strong likelihood of the loan remaining in payment default and an undesirable level of secondary repayment protection. These loans are considered “nonperforming”.
Doubtful – Loans classified as Doubtful possess all of the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard - Nonaccrual with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. A high probability of substantial loss or possible total loss exists. Loans rated as doubtful are not rated as loss because certain events may occur that could salvage at least a portion of the debt. These events include injections of capital, additions of pledged collateral or possible mezzanine debt refinancing options. However, without the occurrence of such events, total loss may be possible. No definite repayment schedule exists for these loans. The Doubtful grade is a temporary grade. If a near-term recovery of a portion of the loan balance is indeterminable or unlikely to occur, the remaining balance of the loan should be written off and possible future recoveries may partially offset the full write-off of the loan. These loans are considered “nonperforming”.
Loss – Loans classified as Loss are defaulted loans with limited or immaterial recovery prospects. No loan that has not yet defaulted should be classified at this grade level. This rating level tends to be very short lived as the full balance of the loan tends to be fully written off nearly immediately after a change to this rating level. These loans are considered “nonperforming”.

The allowance related to collateral dependent loans reported in the tables above includes qualitative adjustments applied to the loan portfolio that consider possible changes in circumstances that could ultimately impact credit losses and might not be reflected in historical data or forecasted data incorporated in the quantitative models.
Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty:
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. We use a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made at the time of a modification. The loan modifications in the table below did not significantly impact our determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
32
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, we modify loans by providing principal forgiveness that is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written-off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, we may allow a loan to go interest only for a specified period of time.
The following tables present loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, segregated by modification type, regardless of whether such modifications resulted in a new loan.

NOTE 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments
Banking Derivative Financial Instruments :
We use fair value hedges to seek to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of certain recognized assets attributable to changes in a benchmark interest rate, such as SOFR. Some of the fair value hedges on loans utilize the
36
portfolio layer method. This approach allows us to designate as the hedged item a stated amount of assets that are not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults, or other factors affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. The fair value portfolio level basis adjustment on our hedged Multifamily and Public Finance loans has not been attributed to the individual loans in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect the hedges to remain effective during their remaining terms.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service we provide to certain customers. We execute interest rate swaps with banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously offset by derivatives that we execute with a third-party, such that we minimize our net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Trust preferred securities
We have issued $ 9,279 in trust preferred securities through a special-purpose trust, New Mexico Banquest Capital Trust I (“NMBCT I”). In addition, we have issued $ 4,640 in trust preferred securities through a special purpose trust, New Mexico Banquest Capital Trust II (“NMBCT II”, and together with NMBCT I, collectively referred to as “NMBCT Trusts”).

The NMBCT Trusts are considered variable interest entities. Since the Parent Company is not the primary beneficiary of the NMBCT Trusts, the financial statements of the NMBCT Trusts are not included in our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, excluding dilution, is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that could then share in our earnings.

Equity Incentive Plans :
2017 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other stock awards to its employees, directors and consultants for up to 1,977,292 shares of FirstSun common stock in the aggregate.
Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price of not less than the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. They vest 25 % on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries following the date of grant and have 10 -year terms. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility was determined based on the median historical volatility of 25 to 30 comparable companies that were publicly traded for a period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options was estimated to be the average of the vesting term and time to expiration. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the stock options was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant.
The following table presents stock options outstanding as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

NOTE 12 - Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in interim periods requires us to make an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year, adjusted for any discrete items for the applicable period.

NOTE 13 - Regulatory Capital Matters
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Under the Basel III rules, the Parent Company and the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The fully phased in capital conservation buffer is 2.50% for all periods presented.
The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2026, both the Parent Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTE 14 - Fair Value Measurements
We utilize fair value measurements to record or disclose the fair value on certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation models rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment assumptions and estimates related to credit quality, our future earnings, interest rates and other relevant inputs. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and the methods used.
ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process with the highest priority given to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs where no active market exists. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
47
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.
The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are regularly measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods include certain collateral dependent loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral and other real estate owned and foreclosed assets, which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses, and subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other noninterest expense. The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of:

NOTE 15 - Segment Information
Operating segments are components of a business where separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM, who oversees the operations conducted through our primary operating segments. Effective April 1, 2026, we revised our segment reporting structure to better reflect how the CODM evaluates the performance and allocates resources across the business following our acquisition of First Foundation. Historically, the Company had two primary operating segments: Banking and Mortgage Operations. Corporate represents costs not allocated to the operating segments, including those of FirstSun and our non-bank subsidiaries.
Beginning April 1, 2026, we added a third primary operating segment, Private Wealth Banking. This new segment reflects First Foundation Advisors, an SEC-registered investment adviser acquired as part of the First Foundation acquisition. As a result, we now have three primary operating segments: Banking, Private Wealth Banking and Mortgage Operations, and we will continue to report Corporate, which represents costs not allocated to the operating segments, including those of FirstSun and our non-bank subsidiaries. The results discussed below reflect the updated segment structure for all current-period activity. Prior-period segment information has been recast, where applicable, to conform to the current presentation. The change in reportable segments did not impact our consolidated financial statements for prior periods other than reclassifications to conform prior period segment information to the current presentation.
The Banking segment originates loans and provides deposits and fee-based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers. Products offered include a full range of commercial and consumer banking and financial services. The interest income on loans held-for-investment is recognized in the Banking segment, excluding newly originated residential first mortgages within the Mortgage Operations segment.
The Private Wealth Banking segment primarily consists of First Foundation Advisors, a fee-based investment adviser which provides investment advisory and wealth management services primarily to high-net-worth individuals, their families and their family businesses, and other affiliated organizations. In addition, the Bank provides trust services, which consist primarily of the management of trust assets, including financial planning services. We earn trust and investment advisory fees from contracts with our customers to manage and invest their assets and/or transact on their accounts. These fees are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management. Related services are based on a fixed fee schedule.
The Mortgage Operations segment originates, sells, services, and manages market risk from changes in interest rates on one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to sell or hold on our balance sheet. Loans originated for sale comprise the majority of the lending activity. The Mortgage Operations segment recognizes interest income on loans that are held-for-sale and newly originated residential mortgages held-for-investment, the gains from one- to four-family residential mortgage sales, and revenue for servicing loans and other ancillary fees following a sales transaction. Revenue from servicing activities is earned on a contractual fee basis. The Mortgage Operations segment services loans for the held-for-investment portfolio, for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation which appears as a cost to Banking in mortgage fees. Forward traded loan purchases and sales settlements as well as mortgage servicing rights and related fair value adjustments are reported in this segment.
Corporate represents miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature as well as revenue and expenses not directly assigned or allocated to the Banking, Private Wealth Banking, or Mortgage Operations segments. The majority of executive management’s time is spent managing operating segments; related costs have been allocated between the operating segments and Corporate.
Allocations of expenses to the operating segments are based on estimated uses of those services. We use a funds transfer pricing process to allocate costs, capital and resources to each operating segment. This allows us to identify the cost of funds within each segment, measure the profitability of each segment by relating costs to revenue, and to evaluate each operating segment’s impact on consolidated earnings. Our CODM reviews net income to budgeted net income to assess segment performance on a monthly basis and to make decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.

NOTE 16 - Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and documentary letters of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party of these loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet financial instruments.
Undistributed portion of committed loans and unused lines of credit
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no customer violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, commitments included the funding of fixed-rate loans totaling $ 211,968 and $ 130,867 and variable-rate loans totaling $ 2,054,035 and $ 1,372,506 , respectively. The fixed-rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 1.00 % to 21.00 % at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and maturities ranging from 1 month to 34 years at June 30, 2026 and 1 month to 17 years at December 31, 2025.
Standby letters of credit
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Since many loan commitments and letters of credit expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, owner occupied real estate, and/or income-producing commercial properties. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our standby letters of credit commitment totaled $ 48,765 and $ 39,356 , respectively.
MPF Master Commitments
The Bank has executed MPF Master Commitments (Commitments) with the FHLB to deliver mortgage loans and to guarantee the payment of any realized losses that exceed the FHLB’s first loss account for mortgages delivered under the Commitments. The Bank receives credit enhancement fees from the FHLB for providing this guarantee and continuing to manage the credit risk of the MPF Program mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank considered the amount of any of its liability for the present value of the credit enhancement fees less any expected losses in the mortgages delivered under the Commitments to be immaterial, and has not recorded a liability and offsetting receivable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Bank would have been required to make under the Commitments was $ 7,270 and $ 4,600 , respectively. Under the Commitments, the Bank agrees to service the loans and therefore, is responsible for any necessary foreclosure proceedings. Any future recoveries on any losses would not be paid by the FHLB under the Commitments. The Bank has not experienced any material losses under these guarantees.
Contingencies
We generally sell loans to investors without recourse; therefore, the investors have assumed the risk of loss or default by the borrower. However, we are usually required by these investors to make certain standard representations and warranties relating to credit information, loan documentation, and collateral. To the extent that we do not comply with such representations, we may be required to repurchase the loans or indemnify these investors for any losses from borrower defaults. We establish reserves for potential losses related to these representations and warranties if deemed appropriate and such reserves would be recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities. In assessing the adequacy of the reserve, we evaluate various factors including actual write-offs during the period, historical loss experience, known delinquent and other problem loans, and economic trends and conditions in the industry.
Litigation
From time to time, we are a defendant in various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. We periodically review all outstanding pending or threatened legal proceedings and determine if such matters will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We establish reserves for contingencies, including legal proceedings, when potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 17 - Lease Commitments
Our leases relate primarily to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 15 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which typically range from 5 to 10 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term.

Share Repurchase Program
Our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program to purchase and retire up to $ 150.0 million of FirstSun’s common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and/or in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, pricing, and amount of any repurchases under the repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, trading volume and market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, our financial performance, alternative uses for capital, general market and economic conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program is authorized through June 30, 2027, although it may be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program does not obligate FirstSun to purchase any shares. We have repurchased 174,230 shares of common stock through August 7, 2026 .

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General Overview
FirstSun Capital Bancorp, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, is the financial holding company for Sunflower Bank, National Association, which is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and operates as Sunflower Bank and First National 1870. We conduct a full-service community banking and trust business through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which as of June 30, 2026, consisted of Sunflower Bank, FEIF Capital Partners, LLC, and First Foundation Advisors, an SEC-registered investment adviser, which also operates as FirstSun Advisors and Sunflower Wealth Advisors. The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our 2025 Annual Report that we filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026. Historical results of operations and the percentage relationships among any amounts included, and any trends that may appear, may not indicate trends in operations or results of operations for any future periods.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of First Foundation Inc.
On April 1, 2026, we completed our merger with First Foundation, the holding company for First Foundation Bank, a California-chartered banking corporation. The consummation of the acquisition with First Foundation expanded our markets in Southern California and Texas and added new markets in Florida, Nevada and Hawaii. The acquisition also expanded our wealth management capabilities through the acquisition of First Foundation Advisors, an SEC-registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act and a former wholly owned subsidiary of First Foundation.
First Foundation and its results of operations are included in our consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition. Therefore, our second quarter and first half of 2026 results reflect increased levels of average balances, net interest income, non-interest income and expenses compared to the second quarter and first half of 2025. After purchase accounting adjustments, the acquisition added $11.2 billion of total assets, including $6.0 billion of net loans, as well as $10.5 billion of total liabilities, primarily consisting of $8.8 billion in deposits. We recorded preliminary goodwill of $9.1 million and core deposit intangibles and other intangibles of $90.2 million related to the acquisition.
Merger related expenses were $57.6 million and $0.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and were $60.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and are recorded in “Merger related expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and have been expensed as incurred. Merger related expenses were related to the First Foundation acquisition and such costs included employee severance, other employee related costs, professional fees, and facilities related costs.
Completed Balance Sheet Repositioning Strategy
During the second quarter of 2026, we completed our previously announced balance sheet repositioning strategy, involving the sale or run-off of select First Foundation loans and securities and using proceeds from such sales and paydowns as well as other available cash and equivalents to reduce higher-cost acquired funding sources. Our balance sheet repositioning strategy was designed to strengthen our capital position, enhance our credit profile, improve our liquidity, and support a more diversified, relationship-focused business model. Our balance sheet repositioning strategy resulted in the liquidation of assets, namely $1.2 billion in cash, $1.4 billion in securities, $1.3 billion in loans, the proceeds of which were used to reduce liabilities, namely $2.5 billion in deposits, and $1.4 billion in borrowings.
Share Repurchase Program
On July 24, 2026, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and/or in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, pricing, and amount of any repurchases under the repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, trading volume and market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, our financial performance, alternative uses for capital, general market and economic conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program is authorized through June 30, 2027, although it may
59
be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any shares.
Deposits Classification
Previously, deposit amounts related to certain NOW accounts with limited monthly transaction activity were able to be reclassified to money market accounts to reduce reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve. As there is no longer any impact to reserve requirements across different deposit products, we have discontinued this product reclassification practice and have revised the presentation of those deposits to conform to the current presentation for periods prior to March 31, 2026. Reclassifications had no effect on prior years net income or stockholders’ equity.
Financial Summary
Net (loss) income totaled $(22.9) million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
The non-GAAP financial measures presented below are used by our management and our Board of Directors on a regular basis in addition to our GAAP results to facilitate the assessment of our financial performance and the efficiency of our operations. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater understanding of our ongoing operations, enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial results by providing a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, and assist in analyzing our operating results and comparing them across periods and to those of other companies. This information supplements our GAAP reported results, and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP results. Accordingly, this financial information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items that are included in the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Segments
Effective April 1, 2026, we revised our segment reporting structure to better reflect how the CODM evaluates the performance and allocates resources across the business following our acquisition of First Foundation. Historically, the Company had two primary operating segments: Banking and Mortgage Operations. Corporate represents costs not allocated to the operating segments, including those of FirstSun and our non-bank subsidiaries.
Beginning April 1, 2026, we added a third primary operating segment, Private Wealth Banking. This new segment reflects First Foundation Advisors, an SEC-registered investment adviser acquired as part of the First Foundation acquisition. As a result, we now have three primary operating segments: Banking, Private Wealth Banking and Mortgage Operations, and we will continue to report Corporate, which represents costs not allocated to the operating segments, including those of FirstSun and our non-bank subsidiaries. The results discussed below reflect the updated segment structure for all current-period activity. Prior-period segment information has been recast, where applicable, to conform to the current presentation. The change in reportable segments did not impact our consolidated financial statements for prior periods other than reclassifications to conform prior period segment information to the current presentation.
Banking
Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Loss) income before income taxes decreased $41.3 million to $(10.5) million for the second quarter of 2026, from $30.9 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses, an increase in salary and employee benefits, and an increase in merger related expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Provision for credit losses increased $37.2 million to $41.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025, primarily related to increased net charge-offs on two C&I loans with no previous specific reserves. Salary and employee benefits increased $15.1 million to $46.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, from $30.9 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of First Foundation. Merger related expenses increased $40.6 million to $40.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2025, related to the First Foundation acquisition. Net interest income increased $66.0 million to $137.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $71.2 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities acquired in the First Foundation acquisition and related purchase accounting accretion. Identifiable assets for our Banking segment increased $7.2 billion to $14.2 billion at June 30, 2026 from $7.0 billion at June 30, 2025. The growth in identifiable assets was primarily driven by our acquisition of First Foundation.
Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Income before income taxes decreased $45.7 million to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $60.7 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses, an increase in salary and employee benefits, and an increase in merger related expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Provision for credit losses increased $41.3 million to $49.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2025, primarily related to increased net charge-offs on two C&I loans with no previous specific reserves. Salary and employee benefits increased $18.5 million to $78.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $60.1 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of First Foundation and due to an increase in headcount of commercial and industrial bankers and support personnel and higher medical insurance costs. Merger related expenses increased $42.9 million to $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2025, related to the First Foundation acquisition. Net interest income increased $72.0 million to $211.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $139.4 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities acquired in the First Foundation acquisition and related purchase accounting accretion.
Private Wealth Banking
Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Loss before income taxes increased $1.6 million to a loss of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a loss of $0.2 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period increase in loss was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in trust and investment advisory revenues. Noninterest expense increased $9.4 million to $13.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, from $4.0 million for the same period in 2025.
64
Salary and benefits, a component of noninterest expense, increased $6.1 million to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, from $2.1 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of First Foundation. Trust and investment advisory revenues increased $8.0 million to $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of First Foundation Advisors following the acquisition of First Foundation. Identifiable assets for our Private Wealth Banking segment increased $17.5 million to $111.1 million at June 30, 2026 from $93.6 million at June 30, 2025. The growth in identifiable assets was primarily driven by the acquisition of First Foundation.
Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Loss before income taxes increased $2.0 million to a loss of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period increase in loss was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in trust and investment advisory revenues. Noninterest expense increased $9.7 million to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $7.8 million for the same period in 2025. Salary and benefits, a component of noninterest expense, increased $6.2 million to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $4.0 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of First Foundation. Trust and investment advisory revenues increased $8.1 million to $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of First Foundation Advisors following the acquisition of First Foundation.
Mortgage Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Income before income taxes increased $1.0 million to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from mortgage banking services and increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in salary and employee benefits. Revenue from mortgage banking services increased $2.7 million to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in loan originations sold and higher net MSR capitalization. Net interest income increased $1.0 million to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average balance and higher average yield on residential real estate loans. Salary and employee benefits increased $2.6 million to $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher levels of variable compensation associated with an increase in mortgage loan originations. Identifiable assets for our Mortgage Operations segment increased $0.1 billion to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026 from $1.2 billion at June 30, 2025. The growth in identifiable assets was primarily driven by organic growth in our residential mortgage portfolio.
Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Income before income taxes increased $2.4 million to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2025. The period over period increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from mortgage banking services and increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in salary and employee benefits. Revenue from mortgage banking services increased $8.0 million to $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $23.6 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in loan originations sold and higher net MSR capitalization. Net interest income increased $2.7 million to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average balance and higher average yield on residential real estate loans. Salary and employee benefits increased $6.5 million to $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher levels of variable compensation associated with an increase in mortgage loan originations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Our accounting and reporting estimates are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “ GAAP,” and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Changes in underlying factors, estimates, assumptions or judgments could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.
Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. As a result of our
65
acquisition of First Foundation, which closed on April 1, 2026, we have updated our critical accounting estimates to include acquisition fair value measurements. Accordingly, we have identified the determination of the allowance for credit losses, fair value measurements of MSRs, and acquisition fair value measurements to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new or additional information becomes available or circumstances change, including overall changes in the economic climate and/or market interest rates. Therefore, we consider the estimates underlying these policies to be critical accounting estimates and we discuss them directly with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We provide additional information about our critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2025 Annual Report other than with respect to acquisition fair value measurements, which we discuss below. Other than as noted above and discussed below, t here have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the estimates made pursuant to those policies during the most recent quarter from those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report .
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1—Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our 2025 Annual Report .
Acquisition Fair Value Measurements
The acquisition method of accounting requires assets and liabilities in business combinations to be recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. To estimate fair value, we apply various valuation methodologies to assets acquired and liabilities assumed that often involve significant judgment. Examples of such estimates include loans held-for-investment and core deposit intangible assets, both of which we developed using an income approach. To value loans held-for-investment, management incorporated assumptions such as principal and interest cash flows, principal default and loss rates, prepayment rates, and discount rates utilizing company-specific and market data. The methodology used to value CDI assets considered the cost savings generated from the deposits relative to an alternative source of funds. Management incorporated assumptions in the CDI valuation such as customer attrition, discount rates, alternative cost of funding, and net maintenance costs. These fair value estimates are preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date, as management obtains additional information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Changes in these assumptions could result in materially different fair value measurements that may impact our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures. Discussion of the assumptions and estimates used by us to assess and determine fair values associated with business combinations can be found in Note 2 - Acquisition of First Foundation Inc. of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

General
Our results of operations depend significantly on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans and investment securities and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent on our generation of noninterest income, consisting primarily of mortgage banking services, treasury management service fees, deposit account service fees, trust and investment advisory fees and credit and debit card fees. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for credit losses, income taxes, and noninterest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and software, amortization of intangible assets and other operating costs.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, representing interest income less interest expense, is a significant contributor to our revenues and earnings. We generate interest income from interest and dividends on interest-earning assets, which are principally comprised of loans and investment securities. We incur interest expense from interest owed or paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings. Net interest income and margin are shaped by the characteristics of the underlying products, including volume, term and structure of each product. We measure and monitor yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, our net interest spread and our net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Interest earned on our loan portfolio is the largest component of our interest income. Our loan portfolios are presented at the principal amount outstanding net of deferred origination fees and unamortized discounts and premiums. Interest income is recognized based on the principal balance outstanding and the stated rate of the loan. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan. Our interest income also includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on loans we acquired in business combinations, which affects our net interest income and net interest margin. In each business combination, acquired loans are initially recorded at fair value. For loans acquired before our adoption of ASU 2025-08, non-PCD loans were recorded at fair value, with any resulting discount or premium accreted into interest income over the life of the related loan, while PCD loans were recorded at fair value plus an initial allowance for credit losses (the “gross-up approach”), with the resulting non-credit discount or premium similarly accreted into interest income. For loans acquired after our adoption of ASU 2025-08 on April 1, 2026 in connection with our acquisition of First Foundation, loans are evaluated as PCD loans, purchased
67
seasoned loans (“PSLs”), or other acquired loans. PCD loans and PSLs are accounted for using the gross-up approach, under which the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price to establish the loan’s initial amortized cost basis. Other acquired loans are recorded at fair value and an initial allowance for credit losses is recognized through provision for credit losses. Any non-credit discount or premium is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan.
Our net interest income can also be significantly influenced by a variety of factors, including overall loan demand, economic conditions, credit risk, the amount of non-earning assets including nonperforming loans and OREO, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, and balance sheet growth or contraction.
Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Rate-Volume Analysis
The tables below present the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense. Changes due to volume are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous period’s average rate. Changes due to rate are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the prior period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses
We established an allowance for credit losses through a provision for credit losses charged as an expense in our consolidated statements of income. The provision for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to absorb expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under GAAP. Our determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses and corresponding provision for credit losses considers ongoing evaluations of the credit quality and level of credit risk inherent in our loan portfolio, levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, statistical trends and economic and other relevant factors. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for credit losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $40.4 million and $48.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $8.3 million for the same periods in 2025. The increase in our provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily related to increased net charge-offs on two C&I loans with no previous specific reserves. The first is an asset-based loan to a materials distributor with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $23.6 million at June 30, 2026, for which we recognized an approximately $22.0 million charge-off in the second quarter of 2026. The second is a loan to a technology company with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $16.0 million at June 30, 2026, for which we recognized an approximately $12.9 million charge-off in the second quarter of 2026.

Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Our noninterest income increased $13.9 million to $40.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $27.1 million for the same period in 2025.
Deposit account service fees include overdraft and non-sufficient funds charges, and other service fees. Deposit account service fees increased $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in wire transfer service charges and non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees.
Treasury management service fees include financial information management, accounts receivable management, accounts payable services, fraud mitigation services, and cash flow management. Treasury management service fees increased $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an overall increase in our business customer base as a result of our acquisition of First Foundation as well as an increase in products and services provided to our existing customer base.
Credit and debit card fees represent interchange income from credit and debit card activity and referral fees earned from processing fees on card transactions by our business customers. Credit and debit card fees increased $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, due to an increase in VISA purchase card transaction volumes.
Trust and investment advisory fees represent fees we receive in connection with our investment advisory and custodial management services of investment accounts. Trust and investment advisory fees increased $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher assets under management associated with the acquisition of First Foundation.

The components of mortgage banking services were as follows:
For the three months ended
June 30,
(In thousands) 2026 2025
Net sale gains and fees from mortgage loan originations, including loans held-for-sale changes in fair value and hedging $ 8,243 $ 6,601
Mortgage servicing income 4,990 4,640
Net MSR capitalization and changes in fair value, net of derivative activity 2,725 2,033
Mortgage banking services, net $ 15,958 $ 13,274
For the second quarter of 2026, mortgage banking services increased $2.7 million, compared to the same period in 2025. Total loan originations for sale were $464.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $84.0 million from $380.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in loan originations sold resulted in the increase in revenue related to net sale gains and fees from loan originations, including fair value changes in the held-for-sale portfolio and hedging activity. We retain servicing rights on the majority of mortgage loans that we sell, which drove the increase in servicing income of $0.4 million to $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, from $4.6 million for the same period in 2025. Net MSR capitalization and changes in fair value, net of derivative activity, increased $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in revenue related to our MSRs was due to higher net MSR capitalization.
The following table shows the hypothetical effect on the fair value of our residential real estate MSRs when applying certain unfavorable variations of key assumptions to these assets as of June 30, 2026.
(In thousands) 10% 20%
Discount rate $ 3,193 $ (426)
Total prepayment speeds 3,764 687
Cost of servicing each loan 6,018 5,028
These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of an adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
Other noninterest income increased $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of multifamily banking services income and increases in credit line and other loan fees resulting from the acquisition of First Foundation, an increase in income from BOLI, and an increase in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan, partially offset by a write-down of an OREO property.
Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Our noninterest income increased $19.3 million to $68.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $48.8 million for the same period in 2025.
Deposit account service fees increased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in wire transfer service charges and non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees.
Treasury management service fees increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an overall increase in our business customer base as a result of our acquisition of First Foundation as well as an increase in products and services provided to our existing customer base.
Credit and debit card fees increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to an increase in VISA purchase card transaction volumes.
Trust and investment advisory fees increased $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher assets under management associated with the acquisition of First Foundation.

Total loan originations for sale were $890.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $259.0 million from $631.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in loan originations sold and higher margins resulted in the increase in revenue related to net sale gains and fees from loan originations, including fair value changes in the held-for-sale portfolio and hedging activity. We retain servicing rights on the majority of mortgage loans that we sell, which drove the increase in servicing income of $0.8 million to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $9.1 million for the same period in 2025. Net MSR capitalization and changes in fair value, net of derivative activity, increased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in revenue related to our MSRs was primarily the result of changes in market interest rates and our corresponding hedging positions.
Other noninterest income increased $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the addition of multifamily banking services income and increases in credit line and other loan fees resulting from the acquisition of First Foundation, an increase in income from BOLI, and an increase in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan, partially offset by a write-down of an OREO property.

Financial Condition
Balance Sheet
Our total assets were $15.7 billion and $8.5 billion, total liabilities were $13.9 billion and $7.3 billion, and total stockholders’ equity was $1.8 billion and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
On June 30, 2026, our consolidated balance sheet included the impact of our acquisition of First Foundation, which closed on April 1, 2026, as discussed in Note 2 - Acquisition of First Foundation Inc. in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Under ASC 805, Business Combinations, we may adjust provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination for a measurement period of up to one year beyond the acquisition date as additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available. If applicable, any future measurement-period adjustments will be recorded as adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill, as applicable. Below is a summary of the related impact of the First Foundation acquisition on our balance sheet as of the acquisition date:
• The fair value of assets acquired totaled $11.2 billion and included net loans of $6.0 billion and investment securities of $2.9 billion.
• The fair value of liabilities assumed totaled $10.5 billion and included total deposits of $8.8 billion and total borrowings of $1.6 billion.
• Core deposit intangibles and other intangibles recorded totaled $90.2 million.
• Preliminary goodwill recorded totaled $9.1 million.
On June 4, 2026, we closed on the sale of approximately $890 million of performing multifamily commercial real estate loans acquired from First Foundation to an unaffiliated third party. On June 25, 2026, we completed the sale of approximately $336 million of performing municipal loans acquired from First Foundation to an unaffiliated third party. These loan sales were each contemplated and announced as part of our balance sheet repositioning strategy related to the acquisition of First Foundation. Our balance sheet repositioning strategy resulted in the liquidation of assets, namely $1.2 billion in cash, $1.4 billion in securities, and $1.3 billion of loans (including the multifamily commercial real estate and municipal loans noted above), to reduce approximately $2.5 billion of deposits and $1.4 billion of borrowings.
Investment Securities
Our securities portfolio is used to make various term investments, maintain a source of liquidity and serve as collateral for certain types of deposits and borrowings. We manage our investment portfolio according to written investment policies approved by our board of directors. Investment in our securities portfolio may change over time based on our funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. Our liquidity levels take into account anticipated future cash flows and other available sources of funds, and are maintained at levels that we believe are appropriate to provide the necessary flexibility to meet our anticipated funding requirements.
Our investment securities portfolio consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. All available-for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management consider it to be in our best interest.
Our securities available-for-sale increased by $1.4 billion to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, due primarily to the First Foundation acquisition. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the securities held-to-maturity decreased $0.6 million to $33.3 million compared to December 31, 2025.

Loans
Our loan portfolio represents a broad range of borrowers primarily in our markets in Texas, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, Nevada and Hawaii, primarily comprised of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and public finance loans. We have a diversified portfolio across a variety of industries, and the portfolio is generally centered in the states in which we have branch offices. Our lending focus continues to be on operating companies, including commercial and industrial loans and lines-of-credit, as well as owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
Total loans held-for-investment, net of deferred fees, costs, premiums and discounts were $11.6 billion at June 30, 2026 and $6.7 billion at December 31, 2025, with the increase due primarily to the acquisition of First Foundation.

Commercial and industrial loans include loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment and inventory purchases, other expansion projects and loans to non-depository financial institutions. These loans are made primarily in our market areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt from revenue, and are generally extended under our normal credit standards, controls and monitoring systems.
Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans include owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating commercial and agricultural businesses, and include both loans for long-term financing of land and buildings, multifamily residential mortgage loans for terms up to 30 years for 5+ unit properties, and loans made for the initial development or construction of a commercial real estate project. Non-owner occupied CRE loans were 63.7% of the Company’s risk-based capital, or 10.3% of total loans as of June 30, 2026. Non-owner occupied CRE loans associated with office space were $115.7 million, or 1.0% of total loans as of June 30, 2026. Owner occupied CRE loans associated with office space were $148.6 million, or 1.3% of total loans as of June 30, 2026.
Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers collateralized by a mortgage on a residence and include purchase money, refinancing, secondary mortgages, and home equity loans and lines-of-credit.
Public finance loans include loans to our charter school and municipal based customers.
Consumer loans include direct consumer installment loans, credit card accounts, overdrafts and other revolving loans.
Other loans consist of lease financing receivables and loans for agricultural production.

Allowance for Credit Losses
At June 30, 2026, our allowance for credit losses was $173.6 million, compared to $85.0 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by $92.5 million of allowance for credit losses recorded for loans acquired in the acquisition of First Foundation.
We maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level we believe is sufficient to absorb expected losses in our loan portfolio given the conditions at the time and our estimates of future economic conditions. Events that are not within our control, such as changes in economic factors, could change subsequent to the reporting date and could cause increases or decreases to the allowance. The amount of the allowance is affected by loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; recoveries on loans previously charged off, which increase the allowance; and the provision for credit losses charged to earnings, which increases the allowance.
In determining the provision for credit losses, management monitors fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and reviews the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated
80
economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as events change.

Criticized and Nonperforming Assets
We have established policies and procedures to guide us in originating, monitoring and maintaining the credit quality of our loan portfolio. These policies and procedures are expected to be followed by our bankers and underwriters and exceptions to these policies require elevated levels of approval and are reported to our board of directors.
Criticized loans consist of loans for which management has identified elevated credit risk through its ongoing credit administration and risk rating processes. These loans include credits classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss based on an evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, repayment capacity, collateral support, guarantor strength, and other relevant factors. Criticized loans are monitored closely by management and are subject to enhanced review procedures. Changes in criticized loan balances may result from the migration of loans between risk rating categories, changes in credit quality, portfolio acquisitions, loan payoffs, charge-offs, or other portfolio management activities.
Nonperforming assets include all loans categorized as nonaccrual, accrual loans greater than 90 days past due, and other real estate owned and other repossessed assets. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued, or the loan is placed on nonaccrual, when the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. We do not generally accrue interest on loans that are 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against interest income and future accruals of interest are discontinued. Payments by borrowers for loans on nonaccrual are applied to loan principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when, in our judgment, the borrower’s ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations under the loan agreement has improved sufficiently to reasonably assure recovery of principal and the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance. In general, we require a minimum of six consecutive months of timely payments in accordance with the contractual terms before returning a loan to accrual status.
Criticized loans increased to $895.2 million, or 7.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $311.7 million, or 4.7% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. Approximately 78% of the increase was attributable to loans acquired from First Foundation, primarily in the multifamily real estate portfolio, included within commercial real estate. As part of the First Foundation acquisition, we performed a comprehensive credit review of the acquired loans, including the assignment of risk ratings under our credit grading methodologies, and loans were recorded at their amortized cost basis, which reflects their acquisition date fair value plus the initial allowance for expected credit losses recognized at acquisition.
Including the impact of the acquisition of First Foundation, the increase in criticized loans was concentrated in a limited number of industry segments, primarily multifamily real estate, included in commercial real estate, which represented approximately 62% of the total increase in criticized balances and approximately 40% of total criticized loans at June 30, 2026. Management believes the underlying collateral positions remain supportive of carrying values, as criticized multifamily loans had a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 68% at quarter end.

The increase was primarily concentrated in a limited number of larger credit relationships across multifamily real estate, included in commercial real estate, certain commercial and industrial borrowers, and residential mortgage loans, and we do not believe they reflect broad-based or systemic credit deterioration across our loan portfolio.

Liquidity
Liquidity refers to our ability to maintain cash flow that is adequate to fund operations, support asset growth, maintain reserve requirements and meet present and future obligations of deposit withdrawals, lending obligations and other contractual obligations.
FirstSun (Parent Company)
FirstSun has routine funding requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses, debt service, share repurchases, and funds used for acquisitions. FirstSun can obtain funding to meet its obligations from dividends collected from its subsidiaries, primarily the Bank, and through the issuance of varying forms of debt. At June 30, 2026, FirstSun had available cash and cash equivalents of $52.8 million and debt outstanding of $213.1 million. Management believes FirstSun has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short-term and the long-term.
Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The Bank may declare dividends without prior regulatory approval that do not exceed the total of retained net income for the current year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, subject to maintenance of minimum capital requirements. Prior regulatory approval to pay dividends was not required in 2025 and is not currently required. At June 30, 2026, the Bank could pay dividends to FirstSun of approximately $177.6 million without prior regulatory approval. During each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, the Bank paid dividends totaling $25.0 million to FirstSun.
Bank
As more fully discussed in our 2025 Annual Report , we regularly monitor our liquidity position and make adjustments to the balance between sources and uses of funds as we deem appropriate. At June 30, 2026, our liquid assets, which consist of unrestricted cash and amounts due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, amounted to $979.1 million, or 6.2% of total assets, compared to $642.2 million, or 7.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The increase in our liquid assets was primarily due to an increase in cash held at the Federal Reserve. At June 30, 2026, securities with a carrying value of $1.8 billion, or approximately 92% of our $1.9 billion investment securities portfolio, were pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and borrowed funds. Our unencumbered securities at June 30, 2026 were approximately $149.8 million, or 1.0% of total assets, compared to $140.9 million, or 1.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2025.
85
The liability portion of our balance sheet serves as a primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet our future cash needs primarily through the generation of deposits. Customer deposits have historically provided a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At June 30, 2026, loans as a percentage of customer deposits were 86.2%, compared with 93.9% at December 31, 2025. For additional information related to our deposits, see Deposits section above. We are also a member of the FHLB and FRB, from which we can borrow for leverage or liquidity purposes. The FHLB and FRB require that securities and qualifying loans be pledged to secure any advances. Liquidity sources available to us for immediate funding at June 30, 2026, are as follows:

FHLB borrowings available $ 4,286,511
Fed Funds lines 2,124,449
Unused lines with other financial institutions 250,000
Immediate funding availability $ 6,660,960
Management believes the Bank has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short-term and the long-term.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity was $1.8 billion at June 30, 2026 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $684.0 million, or 59.3%. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to the issuance of approximately $686 million of equity consideration in connection with the acquisition of First Foundation.
We did not pay a dividend to our common stockholders for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Capital Adequacy
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Management routinely analyzes our capital to seek to ensure an optimized capital structure. For further information on capital adequacy see Note 13 - Regulatory Capital Matters to the consolidated financial statements.
Material Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

We are party to various derivative contracts as a means to manage the balance sheet and our related exposure to changes in interest rates, to manage our residential real estate loan origination and sale activity, and to provide derivative contracts to our clients. Since the derivative liabilities recorded on the balance sheet change frequently and do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these liabilities are not included in the table of contractual obligations presented above. Further discussion of derivative instruments is included in Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments to the consolidated financial statements.
In the normal course of business, various legal actions and proceedings are pending against us and our affiliates which are incidental to the business in which they are engaged. Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments. Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and/or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet due to changes in market rates. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk which impacts our net interest income, fee income related to interest sensitive activities such as mortgage origination and servicing income and loan and deposit demand.
We are subject to interest rate risk due to:
• the maturity or repricing of assets and liabilities at different times or for different amounts;
• differences in short-term and long-term market interest rate changes; and
• the remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.
Our Asset Liability Committee, or ALCO, which is composed of our executive officers and certain other members of management, monitors interest rate risk on an ongoing basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. The ALCO reviews interest rate positions and considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. However, management has the latitude to change interest rate positions within certain limits if, in management’s judgment, the change will enhance profitability or minimize risk.
To assess and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies.
Management uses a simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates across various interest rate scenarios, which seeks to demonstrate the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention.
Additionally, our simulation model incorporates various key assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, but may have an impact on the results such as: (1) we assume certain correlation rates, often referred to as “deposit beta,” for interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change relative to changes in benchmark interest rates, (2) cash flows and maturities of interest sensitive assets and liabilities, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments, (4) prepayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities, and (5) simulations do not contemplate any actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Because of limitations in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended to forecast actual results driven by the effect of a change in market rates but to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.
The primary impact of inflation on operations is reflected in increasing operating costs and noninterest expense. Our interest-bearing assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and changes in interest rates will impact our performance on net interest margin more than changes in the general rate of inflation.
The effect on net interest income over a 12-month time horizon due to hypothetical changes in market interest rates is presented in the table below. In this interest rate shock simulation, as of the periods presented, interest rates have been adjusted by instantaneous parallel changes rather than in a ramp simulation, which applies interest rate changes over time. All rates, short-term and long-term, are changed by the same amount (e.g., plus or minus 100 basis points) resulting in the shape of the yield curve remaining unchanged.
