FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. These statements are evidenced by terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “should,” “could,” or “may.” Although forward-looking statements reflect management’s good faith beliefs and projections, they are not guarantees of future performance and they may not prove true. These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements:
• the strength of the United States (“U.S.”) economy and general economic conditions, (including the interest rate environment, government economic and monetary policies, the strength of global financial markets and inflation/deflation and supply chain issues), whether national or regional, and conditions in the lending markets in which we participate that may have an adverse effect on the demand for our loans and other products, our credit quality and related levels of nonperforming assets and loan losses, and the value and salability of the real estate that we own or that is the collateral for our loans;
• the ability to effectively manage the information technology systems, including third-party vendors, cyber or data privacy incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches, and risk related to the development and use of artificial intelligence;
• the ability to develop and use technologies to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands;
• results of examinations of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses or to write-down assets;
• changing bank regulatory conditions, policies or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives, which could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally, or our subsidiary bank in particular, more restrictive regulatory capital requirements, increased costs, including deposit insurance premiums, regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities or changes in the secondary market for loans and other products;
• changes in market rates and prices may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet;
• our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities;
• our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;
• impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets;
• competitive factors among financial services organizations, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified banking professionals;
• the effect of acquisitions we have made or may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target into our operations;
• the growth and profitability of noninterest or fee income being less than expected;
• the effect of legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry;
• the effect of any change in federal government enforcement of federal laws affecting the cannabis industry;
• the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies;

• changes in U.S. trade policies, including the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies;
• the impact of governmental efforts to restructure or adjust the U.S. financial regulatory system;
• the impact of recent or future changes in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance assessment rate or the rules and regulations related to the calculation of the FDIC insurance assessment amount, including any special assessments;
• the effects of federal government shutdowns, debt ceiling standoff, or other uncertainty regarding fiscal and governmental policies of the U.S. federal government;
• climate change and other catastrophic events or disasters;
• geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts of terrorism, and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad;
• and other factors that may affect our future results.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) filed with SEC and available at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. 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.
The Company’s most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements and in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans is a critical accounting policy. This policy is considered critical because it relates to an accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Table of Contents
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL represents management’s best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management’s assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using a cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an ACL to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the ACL on loans and the related provision for credit losses can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.
The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company’s control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management seeks to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
The Company’s management reviews the adequacy of the ACL on loans on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report for additional details concerning the determination of the ACL on loans.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
The Company’s net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $18.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, compared to $17.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026. The Company had net income of $15.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
• Net Income – Net income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.8 million to $18.9 million, from $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2026. Net income increased primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $1.3 million, an increase in other noninterest income of $1.2 million and a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest on deposits with other banks of $858 thousand and a higher provision for credit losses of $811 thousand. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $36.0 million, compared to $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
• Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) – The Company reported ROAA of 1.24% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.12% for the first quarter of 2026 and 1.03% for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted ROAA – non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (1) was 1.34% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.22% for the first quarter of 2026 and 1.15% for the second quarter of 2025.
• Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) – Net interest income (“NII”) for the second quarter of 2026 increased $364 thousand to $52.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2026. NIM increased 6 basis points (“bps”) to 3.70% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026. NIM excluding accretion (1) increased for the comparable periods from 3.35% to 3.45%. Excluding accretion interest, loan yields decreased 1 bp and funding costs decreased 8 bps for the comparable periods. Net interest income increased due to additional interest income from loan payoffs coupled with a lower cost of deposits. Loan payoffs resulted in accelerated accretion and interest income recovery on nonaccrual loans.
• Capital Management – Book value per share increased to $18.44 at June 30, 2026 from $18.02 at March 31, 2026 and $16.94 at June 30, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company announced a $30 million share repurchase program and repurchased 40,093 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $891 thousand. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company declared a dividend of $0.14 per share, which represents a $0.02, or 16.7%, increase from the dividend paid in the prior quarter.
• Asset Quality – Nonperforming assets were 1.09% of total assets at June 30, 2026, a decrease from 1.10% at March 31, 2026 and an increase from 0.33% at June 30, 2025. Classified assets were 1.41% of total assets at June 30, 2026, an increase when compared to 1.38% at March 31, 2026 and 0.37% at June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses was $58.7 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $58.5 million at March 31, 2026 and at June 30, 2025. The ACL as a percentage of loans decreased to 1.20% at June 30, 2026 compared to 1.21% at March 31, 2026 and at June 30, 2025.
• Operating Leverage – The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2026 was 57.76%, compared to 61.97% for the first quarter of 2026 and 60.83% for the second quarter of 2025. The adjusted efficiency ratio – non-GAAP (1) , which excludes amortization of intangibles, was 54.49% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 58.57% for the first quarter of 2026 and 56.73% for the second quarter of 2025. Management anticipates ongoing expense management of professional services and technology investments will result in continued improvements in operating leverage over time.

Net Interest Income
Taxable-equivalent NII is NII adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. As shown in the table below, taxable-equivalent NII increased $5.8 million to $53.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $47.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $4.4 million, an increase in interest on loans of $849 thousand and a decrease in interest expense on short-term borrowings of $589 thousand. These favorable changes were partially offset by an increase in interest expense on long-term borrowings of $177 thousand. The decrease in interest expense on deposits is reflective of rate reductions during 2026.

Fluctuations in NII can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The Company’s NIM increased to 3.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 3.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 . Comparing the three months ended June 30, 2026 to the three months ended June 30, 2025 , the Company’s interest-earning asset yields were flat at 5.42%, while the cost of funds repriced at a faster pace, which resulted in a decrease of 36 bps, to 1.81% from 2.17%, for the same periods.
ACL and Provision for Credit Losses (“PCL”)
Refer to the discussion of the Bank’s ACL and PCL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $576 thousand, or 6.1%, from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage banking revenue of $825 thousand and other noninterest income, partially offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment fee income and interchange credits.

Table of Contents
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense was $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $1.3 million, or 3.7%, when compared to $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $720 thousand and higher software and data processing costs of $516 thousand, partially offset by the decrease in the amortization of other intangible assets of $297 thousand.
Income Taxes
The Company reported income tax expense of $6.3 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 25.09% and 24.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net Interest Income
As shown in the table below, taxable-equivalent NII increased $12.4 million to $105.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $93.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $3.4 million, or 2.2%, which included an increase in interest on loans of $4.1 million, or 3.0%, a decrease in interest on deposits with other banks of $939 thousand, or 18.8%, and an increase in interest income on taxable investments of $169 thousand. The increase in interest on loans was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans of $70.6 million, or 1.5%. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in interest on deposits of $8.2 million and lower short-term borrowings of $1.2 million. These were partially offset by the increase in interest expense on long-term borrowings of $384 thousand as a result of lower FHLB borrowings and subordinated debt-related expenses that were classified as short-term borrowings in 2025.

The Company’s NIM increased from 3.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Margins were higher due to a $64.8 million increase in interest-earning asset balances and a 6 bp increase in interest-earning asset yields. These positive movements were coupled with a lower cost of interest-bearing deposits. The increase in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits of $4.6 million was offset by a 44 basis point decrease in the associated rates paid, as well as a $49.2 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances and a 99 basis point decrease in the associated rates paid. Net accretion income impacted net interest margin by 27 basis points and 24 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which resulted in NIM excluding accretion of 3.40% and 3.04% for the same periods.

Provision for Credit Losses and ACL
Refer to the discussion of the Bank’s PCL and ACL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased $466 thousand, or 2.8%, when compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to an $833 thousand decrease in other noninterest income and a $615 thousand decrease in mortgage banking revenue , partially offset by a $475 thousand increase in trust and investment fee inc ome and a $293 thousand increase in interchange credits.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $4.6 million, or 6.7%, when compared to the same period in 2025. Noninterest expense line items increased primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefit expenses of $3.9 million and a $1.0 million increase in software and data processing expense. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization of intangible assets of $595 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2026 .
Income Taxes
The Company reported income tax expense of $11.9 million and $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 24.85% and 24.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets were $6.15 billion at June 30, 2026 , a decrease of $107.4 million, or 1.7%, when compared to $6.26 billion at December 31, 2025 . The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our loan portfol io of $22.6 million and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $97.9 million, which were partially offset by an increase in our investment securities portfolio of $18.4 million . The ratio of the ACL as a percentage of loans was 1.20% and 1.20% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $257.7 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $355.6 million at December 31, 2025. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and wholesale funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by seasonal run-off of municipal deposits.
Investment Securities
The investment portfolio includes debt and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as either available for sale (“AFS”) or held to maturity (“HTM”). AFS investment securities are stated at estimated fair value based on market prices. They represent securities which may be sold as part of the asset/liability management strategy or in response to changing interest rates. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on these securities are reported net of related income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Investment securities in the HTM category are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and the ACL. We have the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. At June 30, 2026, 43.97% of the portfolio of debt securities was classified as AFS and 56.03% was classified as HTM, compared to 34.69% and 65.31%, respectively, at December 31, 2025. See Note 2 – “Investment Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the composition of the investment portfolio.
Investment securities, including restricted stock and equity securities, totaled $677.8 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of $18.4 million, or 2.80%, compared to $659.4 million at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, AFS securities, carried at fair value, totaled $287.4 million, compared to $220.4 million at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, AFS securities consisted of 85.95% mortgage-backed securities, 7.05% U.S. government agency securities and 7.00% corporate bonds, compared to 88.50%, 9.36% and 2.14%, respectively, at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the gross unrealized losses on AFS securities were all related to changes in interest rates and were $9.1 million, or less than 1% of total assets and 2% of total stockholders’ equity. At June 30, 2026, the AOCI loss was $6.1 million, compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2025.
At June 30, 2026, HTM securities, carried at amortized cost net of allowance, totaled $366.2 million, compared to $414.8 million at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, HTM securities consisted of 77.69% mortgage-backed securities, 20.41% U.S. government agency securities and 1.90% other debt securities, compared to 73.06%, 25.26% and 1.68%, respectively, at December 31, 2025.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 83.22% and 86.82%, respectively, of the Bank’s carrying value of its investment portfolio consisted of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored agencies.
Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of the agencies, with the remainder being subordinated debt securities of other banks.

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of loans held for sale amounted to $30.8 million and $32.5 million, respectively. The Bank makes certain representations to purchasers in the sale of mortgage loans related to loan ownership, loan compliance and legality, and accurate documentation. If a loan is found to be out of compliance with any of the representations subsequent to the date of purchase, the Bank may be required to repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Bank repurchased no loans . During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Bank repurchased one loan with an aggregate value of $415 thousand.

CRE Loan Portfolio
The Company’s loan portfolio has a CRE loan concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and CRE loans. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential CRE concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s non-owner occupied CRE loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential CRE concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their CRE portfolios and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. Non-owner occupied CRE loans, excluding land and construction loans, totaled $1.87 billion at June 30, 2026 and $1.84 billion at December 31, 2025, and as a percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital plus ACL were 326.63% and 342.55%, respectively.
Management has extensive experience in CRE lending and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to the Bank’s CRE portfolio. Monitoring practices are part of the Bank’s credit and risk departments’ annual test plans and are adjusted as needed on a quarterly basis if external or internal conditions merit changes. The Bank’s CRE monitoring plans include stress testing analysis to evaluate changes in collateral values and changes in cash flow debt service coverage ratios as a result of increasing interest rates or declines in customer net operating revenues. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our CRE concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, either of which may adversely affect shareholder returns.

Asset Quality
ACL and PCL
The ACL as a percentage of loans remained flat at 1.20% at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the Company’s ACL decreased $99 thousand to $58.7 million, from $58.8 million at December 31, 2025.
The Company recorded a PCL on loans in the consolidated statement of income of $896 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower net charge-offs partially offset by loan growth. Net charges-offs were $123 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $649 thousand, or 0.01% of average loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in charge-offs in 2026 was primarily due to reduced losses in the marine and CRE portfolios. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.01% and 0.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company recorded a PCL on loans in the consolidated statement of income of $981 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower charge-offs and a favorable economic outlook, partially offset by loan growth. Net charge-offs were $1.0 million, or 0.02% of average loans, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million, or 0.03% of average loans, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in charge-offs in 2026 was primarily due to the reduced losses in the marine and CRE portfolios. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.04% and 0.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming loans to enable the Company to maintain overall credit quality.

Total deposits decreased $134.1 million, to $5.40 billion at June 30, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025. The year-to-date decrease in total deposits was primarily due to a decrease in money market and savings accounts of $104.4 million, a decrease in time deposits of $19.5 million and a decrease in interest-bearing checking accounts of $19.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits of $18.9 million. Core deposits, which exclude municipal and cannabis deposits, increased by $71.7 million, or 1.7%, during the same period.
Total estimated uninsured deposits were $975.6 million, or 18.1% of total deposits, at June 30, 2026 and $937.2 million, or 16.9% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, there were $136.6 million included in uninsured deposits that the Bank secured using the market value of pledged collateral. The Bank’s uninsured deposits at June 30, 2026, excluding the market value of pledged collateral, were $838.9 million, or 15.5% of total deposits.
The Bank is required to monitor large deposit relationships and concentration risks in accordance with regulatory guidance. This includes monitoring deposit concentrations and maintaining fund management policies and strategies that take into account potentially volatile concentrations and significant deposits that mature simultaneously.

At June 30, 2026, the Bank had one local municipal customer deposit relationship that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $183.8 million, which represented 3.39% of total deposits of $5.43 billion. At December 31, 2025, there were three customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $539.0 million, which represented 9.70% of total deposits of $5.56 billion.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations, resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers, are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.
Shore Bancshares’ principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent upon the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.
Based on management’s going concern evaluation, management believes that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank’s principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.
Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core deposits and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.
The Company derives liquidity through increased customer deposits, cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $97.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net decrease of $274.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to a $153.0 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $28.9 million decrease in loans and an $18.9 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.
To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term funds markets. At June 30, 2026, the Bank had approximately $1.9 billion of available liquidity, including $257.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $314.4 million in unpledged securities, $25.1 million in secured borrowing capacity with the FRB and $911.9 million in secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta, partially offset by a letter of credit of $33.7 million. In addition, the Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks whereby it has $396.1 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available to meet any short-term needs that may not otherwise be funded by the Bank’s portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. Through the FHLB, the Bank had available lendable collateral of approximately $911.9 million and $788.1 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank has pledged investment securities with the FRB under the FRB Discount Window program.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (“PCA”), the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1,250%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Bank was deemed “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2026.
The Company evaluates capital resources by the ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios. The Company and the Bank annually update their strategic plan, which includes a three-year capital plan. In developing its plan, the Company considers the impact to capital of asset growth, loan concentrations, income accretion, dividends, holding company liquidity, investment in markets and people and stress testing.
As of June 30, 2026, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank was classified as “well-capitalized” for purposes of the PCA regulations. The following tables present the applicable capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Statements included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliation schedules that immediately follow.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the accompanying financial statement tables, contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. This financial information includes certain performance measures, which exclude intangible assets. These non-GAAP measures are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”)
ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally-developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
