Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

VersaBank’s public communications often include written or oral forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this document and may also be included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. The statements in this management’s discussion and analysis that relate to future events or future performance including, without limitation, statements regarding the proposed Reorganization (see Reorganization section below) are forward-looking statements.

 

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, many of which are beyond VersaBank’s control. There is a risk that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the strength of the Canadian and US economies in general and the local economies in which VersaBank operates; the effects of changes in monetary and fiscal policy, including changes in interest rate policies of the Bank of Canada and the US Federal Reserve; global commodity prices; the effects of competition in the markets in which VersaBank operates; inflation; capital market fluctuations; the timely development and introduction of new products in receptive markets; the impact of changes in laws, including trade laws and tariffs, and regulations applicable to financial services; changes in tax laws; technological changes, including the use of data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) in our business, including generative AI; unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings; unexpected changes in consumer spending and savings habits; the impact of wars or conflicts and related effects on global supply chains and markets; the impact of outbreaks of disease or illness affecting local, national or international economies; the possible effects of terrorist activities; natural disasters and disruptions to public infrastructure (including transportation, communications, power or water supply); and VersaBank’s ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors.

 

Completion of the Reorganization is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Bank’s control, including but not limited to, the failure to obtain required shareholder, regulatory and other approvals, as well as other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in the Bank’s filings with the SEC and with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces or territories of Canada.

 

The foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors as well as other uncertainties and potential events.

About VersaBank

 

Digital Banking Products and Services

 

VersaBank (“VersaBank” or the “Bank”) is a North American bank (federally chartered in Canada and the United States) with a difference. VersaBank was one of the world's first fully digital financial institutions. Today VersaBank employs a cloud-based, branchless, business-to-business model based on its proprietary state-of-the-art technology that enables it to profitably address underserved segments of the banking industry. The Bank’s business model is based on obtaining its deposits and providing financing digitally through other third-party financial intermediaries (referred to as “partners”) who, themselves, engage with the actual depositors and borrowers. This provides VersaBank with significant operating leverage, which drives efficiency and return on common equity, and significantly reduces the Bank’s risk.

 

VersaBank’s recent and expected continued growth is primarily the result of its unique Structured Receivable Program (“SRP”) (formerly referred to as the Receivable Purchase Program, or “RPP”), which invests in cash flow streams generated by credit assets originated and owned by companies that provide financing at the point of sale to consumers and small businesses for “big ticket” value purchases. In September 2024, following its acquisition of a US bank, VersaBank broadly launched its SRP, which has been highly successful in Canada for over 15 years, to the underserved multi-trillion-dollar US market.

 

Tokenized Deposit Services (Digital Meteor)

 

VersaBank has developed and owns proprietary intellectual property and technology to enable the next generation of digital assets for the banking and financial community, including the Bank’s revolutionary Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™ (“RBTD™”s) (formerly referred to as Digital Deposit Receipts, or DDRs). RBTD™s were developed exclusively by VersaBank using the Bank’s own banking and cybersecurity technologies, including VersaVault®. We believe that VersaVault® is the world’s first digital vault for security conscious organizations looking to secure their highly sensitive and confidential documents, data, code, blockchain-based assets and more.

 

VersaBank’s RBTD™s are proprietary bank-issued tokenized deposits that provide superior security, stability, and regulatory compliance compared to stablecoins, as highly encrypted digital representations of actual fiat currency deposits with the Bank, combining the safety and soundness of traditional banking with the efficiency, cost savings, security, and programmability of blockchain technology. In addition, the Bank expects its RBTD™s to be eligible for conventional federal deposit insurance (subject to confirmation by regulators in accordance with the FDIC and CDIC policies) and have the legal ability to pay interest, which non-bank issued stablecoins are not allowed to provide in the US.

 

VersaBank is also using its proprietary VersaVault® technology to address the need in both the United States and Canada to expand its regulated custody services to the digital asset market. The Bank signed a definitive agreement with Stablecorp Digital Currencies Inc. ("Stablecorp") in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and now serves as the custodian for Stablecorp's QCAD stablecoin, which recently became Canada's first regulatory compliant Canadian-dollar stablecoin.

Cybersecurity Products and Services

 

VersaBank also owns Minnesota-based DRT Cyber Inc. (“DRTC”), a North America leader in the provision of cybersecurity services to address the rapidly growing volume of cyber threats challenging financial institutions, multi-national corporations and government entities. DRTC deploys technology solutions to support the functions of cybersecurity, privacy, and risk management, with experience across numerous sectors to enable it to develop and deploy flexible solutions to partners’ exact requirements. The majority of DRTC’s revenue is generated and the majority of DRTC’s costs are incurred by DRTC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Digital Boundary Group, Inc. and Digital Boundary Group Canada Inc. (collectively “Digital Boundary Group”).

 

VersaBank’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq under the symbol VBNK. The underlying drivers of VersaBank’s performance changes for the current and comparative periods are set out in the following sections of this MD&A.

 

Strategy

 

VersaBank’s goal is to consistently and sustainably deliver outsized growth in earnings per share by utilizing its proprietary technology and established financial intermediary partner networks to deliver innovative digital banking, financial and related solutions to under-served markets, while maintaining its low-risk profile. The Bank’s use of proprietary technology in its cloud-based, branchless, business-to-business model enables significant operating leverage, enabling the Bank to grow its assets and resulting revenue at a significantly faster rate than its non-interest expenses. A significant portion of VersaBank’s workforce are software engineers and technology support staff who are continuously upgrading and enhancing VersaBank’s technologies and software, as well as developing new software to support new business initiatives.

 

Digital Banking Products and Services

 

VersaBank’s largest opportunity and primary focus is growth in revenue (driven primarily by growth in net interest income) from its Digital Banking Operations significantly in excess of growth in non-interest expense. VersaBank expects the majority of revenue growth to be driven by the ramp up of its unique SRP in the underserved multi-trillion-dollar US point-of-sale financing market. The SRP has driven the majority of VersaBank’s growth in Canada over the past five years.

 

VersaBank's SRP is an innovative and highly attractive digital funding solution for finance companies that provide loans and leases to consumers and small businesses for "big ticket" value purchases (e.g. consumer home improvement/HVAC projects and a wide variety of commercial and recreational equipment). It was specifically designed to address an unmet need by point-of-sale financing companies for consistently available, readily accessible, and economically attractive capital using VersaBank's proprietary, state-of-the-art banking technology. Consistent with its branchless, business-to-business, partner-based digital banking strategy, VersaBank's SRP enables it to access the massive and growing consumer and small business financing market in an indirect, efficient and highly risk-mitigated manner.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A

Following its acquisition of a US bank in September 2024, VersaBank broadly launched its SRP to the underserved multi-trillion-dollar US point-of-sale financing market. The Bank has a strong and growing pipeline of prospective SRP partners that it is aggressively pursuing. The Bank surpassed its first-year target of US$290 million with total US SRP assets of US$310 million in fiscal 2025. The Bank expects to continue to expand its business with existing US partners while adding new US partners in fiscal 2026 as the program scales.

 

In Canada, VersaBank remains focused on expanding its well-established SRP portfolio by deepening relationships with existing partners, adding new partners, and capturing growth opportunities driven by broader economic recovery and continued demand for SRP financing. VersaBank has access to sufficient low-cost deposit sources to fund its expected strong growth in credit assets. The Bank’s low-cost deposit sources, combined with the efficiency of its technology-based, business-to-business model, supports its objectives of maintaining a stable net interest margin over the short term and expanding its net interest margin over time. Management believes that VersaBank has one of the strongest liquidity risk profiles among North American banks, attributable to the quality, stability and stickiness of its deposit base. The majority of VersaBank’s Canadian and US deposits are sourced through deposit brokers, specifically the investment dealers, wealth management firms and financial advisory firms that distribute the Bank’s term deposit products. VersaBank has high visibility into the fixed maturities of these deposits, further enhancing its liquidity risk profile. In Canada, the Bank also sources deposits through Licensed Insolvency Trustee firms, which value the ability to use proprietary technology developed by VersaBank to seamlessly and efficiently interface with their respective administrative software, which results in a lower cost of funds to the Bank compared to conventional deposits. The Bank expects its Insolvency Trustee deposits to increase in the short- to medium-term as the number of insolvency filings in Canada is expected to grow.

 

Cybersecurity Products and Services

 

VersaBank’s wholly owned, Minnesota-based subsidiary, DRTC, generates the vast majority of its revenue and incurs the vast majority of its costs through Digital Boundary Group, which addresses the high-growth market for cybersecurity and related IT privacy services arising from the growing volume of cyber threats and privacy issues challenging businesses of all sizes across all sectors (with a specialty in financial institutions) and government entities on a daily basis. DRTC has established itself as a North American leader in the markets it serves, with more than 400 clients, including large financial services companies, critical infrastructure companies and indispensable government organizations such as metropolitan police departments. DRTC is focused on growing revenue through offering new products and services to existing clients and adding new clients, capitalizing on the significant expected long-term growth in the cybersecurity and privacy market globally.

 

Under the US Federal Reserve’s approval of VersaBank’s 2024 acquisition of a US bank, the Bank is required to cease or divest of certain impermissible activities, including the cybersecurity services housed within DRTC and Digital Boundary Group before September 2026, or such later date as may be permitted. Such divestment could be accomplished through a number of corporate actions, and the Bank has initiated a process to identify and evaluate strategic alternatives with the objective to maximize the value derived from the divestiture for shareholders.

Tokenized Deposit Services (Digital Meteor)

 

VersaBank also expects to capitalize on its leading-edge, proprietary technology enabling highly encrypted digital assets that combine the safety and soundness of traditional banking with the efficiency, cost savings, security, and flexibility of blockchain technology. VersaBank believes that its technology provides superior security, stability, and regulatory compliance compared to conventional alternatives. Held within its wholly owned subsidiary, DRTC, VersaBank’s RBTD™s are tokenized deposits, which are digital representations of traditional bank deposits on a blockchain, offering enhanced efficiency, programmability, and security in financial transactions. RBTD™s provide a trusted alternative for mainstream financial applications, including efficient payments, addressing the rapidly growing propensity of consumers and businesses to hold assets in e-wallets and engage in financial transactions digitally. VersaBank believes its RBTD™s represent the next step in the evolution of such digital assets and a superior alternative to stablecoins. VersaBank’s RBTD™s were conceived of and have been developed in compliance with the evolving regulatory requirements. We expect our RBTD™s to be eligible for conventional federal deposit insurance (subject to confirmation by regulators in accordance with the FDIC and CDIC policies) and to have the legal ability to pay interest. By contrast, stablecoins issued in the United States under the US GENIUS Act will not be permitted to pay interest and will not be eligible for federal deposit insurance, and in Canada, where stablecoin legislation has not yet come into force and still requires regulatory development, it is possible that similar restrictions could apply.

 

Management believes that licensed banks, as the trusted, regulated safekeepers of personal and business cash assets and other valuables, are naturally positioned to do the same for tokenized deposits.   VersaBank has established itself as a leader in digital asset innovation. Management believes its trusted and secure solutions, along with the potential for RBTD™s to be an ultra-low-cost source of deposit funding, will play a meaningful role in enabling banks and other entities to confidently engage in the rapidly developing field of digital commerce. Management is encouraged by the favorable stance of the current US administration with respect to digital assets and the role they can play in the future of banking and commerce in the United States, as well as around the world.  As a digital asset with a continuously known value, VersaBank’s RBTD™s provide a trusted alternative for mainstream financial applications and can be seamlessly converted to and from other digital currencies such as Bitcoin.

 

VersaBank is also using its proprietary VersaVault® technology to address the need in both the United States and Canada for regulated custody services for stablecoin issuers. The VersaVault system was audited and confirmed as compliant with System Organization Controls 2 Type 1 (“SOC2 Type 1”) in 2022. The Bank signed a definitive agreement with Stablecorp in early fiscal 2026 and now serves as the custodian for Stablecorp's QCAD stablecoin, which recently became first Canadian-dollar stablecoin which is compliant with application regulations.

 

The Bank expects both the issuance of its RBTD™s and the provision of stablecoin custody services to be an incremental source of low-cost deposits for its credit asset businesses, predominantly its SRP business.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A

Although the intellectual property, software and other assets related to VersaVault and the RBTD™ and stablecoin custody services technology currently reside within DRTC, they are not expected to be part of any divestiture of the cybersecurity services business within DRTC.

 

In addition, VersaBank remains highly committed to, and focused on, further developing and enhancing its technology advantage, a key component of its value proposition that not only provides efficient access to VersaBank’s chosen underserved lending and deposit markets, but also delivers superior financial products and better customer service to its clients.

 

The underlying drivers of VersaBank’s performance for the current and comparative periods are set out in the following sections of this MD&A.

 

Reorganization

 

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Bank publicly filed a Form S-4 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the US SEC in connection with the Bank’s proposed plan to realign its corporate structure to a standard US bank framework (the “Reorganization”).  Specifically, the Reorganization, among other things, will cause Versa Bancorp, a new Delaware corporation (the “Parent”) to become the holding company of VersaBank and VersaBank USA National Association.  The Registration Statement has been confidentially reviewed and remains subject to additional review by the SEC prior to being declared effective. As a result, the information contained therein is subject to change. Upon the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC, the Bank will be at liberty to convene a special meeting of shareholders at which it would seek approval of the Reorganization. In addition to the approval of shareholders, the completion of the Reorganization remains subject to various regulatory approvals, including approval by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and Ministry of Finance in Canada and the Federal Reserve Board in the United States. VersaBank intends to proceed with the shareholder matters, expeditiously, and in tandem with the other regulatory processes.

Overview of Performance

 

Note Regarding VersaBanks Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results: VersaBank’s financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 reflect non-core non-interest expenses in the amount of $6.7 million, comprised of $4.5 million related to the project costs associated with the Reorganization and a $2.2 million write-down of an intangible asset related to the customer deposit base of the Bank’s sole physical branch, which received regulatory approval for sale in the second quarter, requiring the Bank to record the write-down in the same quarter. The branch was sold on May 1, 2026 (see Subsequent event below).

 

The Reorganization is intended to enhance shareholder value, mitigate risk and reduce corporate costs over the long term. The Bank expects that the anticipated benefits of the Reorganization will exceed the associated investment however, these expected benefits are subject to various assumptions and uncertainties. The Bank incurred a significant portion of the costs associated with the Reorganization in fiscal 2025 and expects the Reorganization to be completed in fiscal 2026.

 

Note Regarding the Change in Name Of Receivable Purchase Program (RPP) To Structured Receivable Program (SRP): As part of its previously announced Reorganization (see note below), at the beginning of fiscal 2026, VersaBank has changed the name of its Receivable Purchase Program (“RPP”) to Structured Receivable Program (“SRP”). The underlying business model of the SRP has not changed in any way.

Recent Developments

 

bullet.jpg

The Bank continued to realize rapid expansion of its credit asset portfolio in the US through the successful ramp up of its SRP. Following the achievement of its first-year target for SRP credit assets and the signing of an agreement with its largest US SRP partner to date at the end of the Q4 2025, the Bank grew its total SRP assets to US$604.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and is on pace to achieve its target for additional US SRP fundings in fiscal 2026 of US$1 billion.

bullet.jpg

The Bank commenced a pilot program with one of its major SRP partners, FinanceIt Canada Inc. ("FinanceIt"), for the Bank's new AI-enabled Real-Time Structured Receivable Program ("Real-Time SRP") (the "Pilot Program"). The Real-Time SRP is a breakthrough innovation in point-of-sale financing, providing the same reliable, economically attractive funding solution as the Bank's existing SRP, with the additional benefit of eliminating the need for SRP partners to warehouse multiple receivables over a period of time (typically from five to 30 or more days).The purpose of the Pilot Program is to demonstrate the functionality and operational integrity of the Real-Time SRP in a limited-scale, real-world scenario to refine the solution for full implementation by FinanceIt and simultaneous roll out to all of VersaBank's current and prospective SRP partners in both Canada and the United States.

bullet.jpg

The Bank commenced a critical initiative to add foreign exchange functionality and other enhancements to its proprietary VersaView™ blockchain interface technology to support the commercialization of its RBTD™s. VersaView™ is the Bank's own highly secure RBTD™ Program Participant's user interface, enabling authorized RBTD™ partners and corporate customers (holders of RBTD™s) to view and transact with their RBTD™s stored in VersaVault®-managed wallets. The foreign exchange capability will be added to the integrated US and Canadian pilot programs for the Bank's RBTD™s that continue to steadily advance.

bullet.jpg The Bank began receiving QCAD deposits under its previously announced custody services agreement with Stablecorp, a pioneering Canadian digital asset infrastructure company and servicer of the QCAD Digital Trust and whose investors include Coinbase, Circle, DeFi Technologies and FTP Ventures.  QCAD is Canada's first regulatory compliant Canadian-dollar stablecoin.
bullet.jpg

The Bank entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of certain assets associated with its sole physical bank branch in Holdingford, Minnesota to Stearns Bank National Association. The sale was approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") during the second quarter and the transaction closed on May 1, 2026 (see Subsequent event below).

 

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025

 

bullet.jpg

Credit assets increased 25% to a record $5.68 billion, driven primarily by strong growth in each of the US and Canadian SRP portfolios, which, combined, increased 32%.

bullet.jpg

Total revenue increased 27% to a record $38.3 million, composed of record net interest income of $35.7 million and non-interest income of $2.6 million;

bullet.jpg

Net interest margin (“NIM”) on credit assets was 2.71%, an increase of 12 bps. NIM was 2.33%, an increase of 4 bps. The increase in NIM was primarily due to lower cost of funds resulting from lower interest rates on renewals of maturing deposits throughout fiscal 2025 and the normalization of the yield curve from the atypically inverted yield curve that existed in the early part of fiscal 2025. The Bank’s NIM remains amongst the highest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I banks;

bullet.jpg

Provision for credit losses (“PCL”) remain negligible at $428,000 compared with a PCL of $889,000, with the decrease being primarily due to updates in the forward-looking information used by VersaBank in its credit risk models;

bullet.jpg

PCL as a percentage of average credit assets was 0.03% compared with 0.08%, which remains among the lowest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I banks;

bullet.jpg

Non-interest expense, excluding the $6.7 million in non-core expenses composed of $4.5 million in project costs associated with the Reorganization and a $2.2 million intangible asset write-down, was $20.8 million compared with $17.5 million, with the increase primarily due to higher general operating costs consistent with increased business activities;

bullet.jpg

Total revenue increased 5% to a record $38.3 million, composed of a record net interest income of $35.7 million and non-interest income of $2.6 million;

bullet.jpg

NIM on credit assets was 2.71%, an increase of 7 bps. NIM was 2.33%, an increase of 8 bps. The increase in NIM was primarily due to both an increase in yield generated on higher credit asset balance and lower cost of funds. The Bank’s NIM remains amongst the highest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I banks;

bullet.jpg

PCL remained negligible at $428,000 compared with a provision for credit losses of $700,000, with the decrease being primarily due to updates in the forward-looking information used by VersaBank in its credit risk models;

bullet.jpg

PCL as a percentage of average credit assets was 0.03% compared with 0.05%, which remains among the lowest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I banks;

bullet.jpg

bullet.jpg

Efficiency ratio (including the $6.7 million charge noted above) was 72% compared with 56% and reflects the fixed cost structure of the Bank's US operations to support the US SRP program at scale during a period when the US SRP is in its ramp up phase.  The Bank's US operations at scale are expected to be significantly more efficient than its Canadian operations.

 

Q2 YTD 2026 vs Q2 YTD 2025

 

bullet.jpg

Credit assets increased 25% to a record $5.68 billion, driven primarily by strong growth in each of the US and Canadian SRP portfolios, which, combined, increased 32%;

bullet.jpg

NIM on credit assets was 2.65%, an increase of 21 bps. NIM was 2.29%, an increase of 10 bps. The increase in NIM was primarily due to lower cost of funds resulting from lower interest rates on renewals of maturing deposits throughout fiscal 2025 and the normalization of the yield curve from the atypically inverted yield curve that existed in the early part of fiscal 2025, offset partially by lower yield stemming from the continued growth in the SRP portfolio, which is composed of lower regulatory risk-weighted, lower yielding assets compared to the some higher yielding, higher regulatory risk-weighted Multi-Family Residential Loans (“MROL”). The Bank’s NIM remains amongst the highest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I banks;

bullet.jpg

PCL remained negligible at $1.1 million compared with $1.9 million, with the decrease being primarily due to updates in the forward-looking information used by VersaBank in its credit risk models;

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income is composed of revenue generated by DRTC, multi-unit residential (“MUR”) securitization transactions and income derived from miscellaneous transaction fees not directly attributable to credit assets.

 

Non-interest income increased 24% to $2.6 million from $2.1 million last year and is consistent with last quarter. The increase was a function primarily of higher contribution from a gain on sale of a MUR securitization for $0.03 million and higher client engagements quarter over quarter.

 

Non-interest income for the six months ended April 30, 2026, was $5.2 million compared with $4.2 million for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year trend was primarily due to a gain on the sale of the Bank's legacy equity investment in Stablecorp and a MUR securitization, and higher client engagements.

Income Tax Provision

 

The Bank’s effective tax rate for the current year is estimated to be approximately 27% compared with approximately 27% a year ago. Shifts in the Bank’s effective tax rate from the statutory rates was a function primarily of adjustments to changes in assumptions on non-deductible expenses and other permanent tax differences, the foreign exchange impact on various assets, as well as changes in earnings allocation between different tax jurisdictions. Provision for income taxes for the current quarter was $2.9 million compared with $3.2 million last year and $4.2 million last quarter. Provision for income taxes for the six months ended April 30, 2026, was $7.1 million compared with $6.2 million for the same period a year ago.

Total assets as at April 30, 2026, were $6.44 billion compared with $5.05 billion a year ago and $6.15 billion last quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to growth in VersaBank’s SRP portfolio.

Cash and securities

 

Cash and securities, which are held primarily for liquidity purposes, at April 30, 2026, were $674.4 million, or 10% of total assets, compared with $445.0 million, or 9% of total assets a year ago, and $729.3 million, or 12% of total assets last quarter. The increase in liquidity asset balances reflects the impact of the additional liquidity held at VersaBank USA in advance of the transactions with Stearns Bank National Association to divest of certain lending assets and deposits held at a branch in Holdingford, Minnesota, on May 1, 2026 (see Subsequent event below), as well as projected lending asset growth. The decrease in liquidity balances from last quarter reflects the deployment of funds to lending asset growth.

 

As at April 30, 2026, the Bank held securities totaling $106.3 million (October 31, 2025 - $80.9 million), including accrued interest, comprised of US Treasury Bills with a carrying value of $96.2 million, Government of Canada Treasury Bills with a carrying value of $2.1 million and other securities with a carrying value of $8.0 million.

VersaBank organizes its Credit Asset portfolios into the following two broad asset categories: Structured Receivable Program (previously referred to as “Receivable Purchase Program”) and Multi-Family Residential Loans and Other. These categories have been established in VersaBank’s proprietary, internally developed asset management system and have been designed to catalogue individual lending assets as a function primarily of their key risk drivers, the nature of the underlying collateral, and the applicable market segment.

 

The Structured Receivable Program (SRP) category is composed of investments in the expected cash flow streams derived primarily from consumer and small business loans and leases that are originated and owned throughout their lifetime by VersaBank’s SRP partners, as well as asset-backed securities that have similar underlying assets noted in the SRP portfolio.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
21

 

The Multi-Family Residential Loans and Other (MROL) category is composed of two major sub-segments:  Multi-Family Residential Loans, which consists of CMHC-insured (zero-risk weighted for regulatory capital purposes) loans and uninsured loans to real estate developers to finance the construction phase of development of multi-family, student residence, condominium and retirement home properties, as well as term and bridge loans to real estate developers secured by completed aforementioned properties and units.  It also includes the public sector and infrastructure loans and leases. The majority of these loans are business-to-business loans with the underlying credit risk exposure being primarily residential in nature, given that the vast majority of the loans are related to properties that are designated primarily for residential use. The portfolio benefits from diversity in its underlying security in the form of a broad range of such collateral properties.

 

Credit assets increased 25% year-over-year and 6% sequentially to $5.68 billion primarily due to:

 

bullet.jpg

Higher SRP portfolio balances, which increased 32% year-over-year and 7% sequentially, primarily due to consistent demand for home improvement/HVAC receivable financing in Canada and the US.

 

Residential Mortgage Exposures

 

In accordance with the OSFI Guideline B-20 Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures, additional information is provided regarding the Bank’s residential mortgage exposure. For the purposes of the Guideline, a residential mortgage is defined as a loan to an individual that is secured by residential property (one-to-four-unit dwellings) and includes home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”). This differs from the classification of residential mortgages used by the Bank which also includes multi-family residential mortgages.

 

Under OSFI’s definition, the Bank’s net exposure after credit risk mitigation to residential mortgages at April 30, 2026, was $5.6 million compared with $4.5 million a year ago and $5.6 million last quarter. The Bank does not currently offer residential mortgages to the public. The Bank did not have any HELOCs outstanding at April 30, 2026, last quarter or a year ago.

 

Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

VersaBank closely monitors its credit asset portfolio, the portfolio’s underlying borrowers, as well as its origination partners to ensure that management maintains effective visibility on credit trends that could provide an early warning indication of the emergence of any elevated risk in VersaBank’s credit asset portfolios.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Bank maintains an allowance for expected credit losses (or ECL allowance) that is adequate, in management’s opinion, to absorb all credit-related losses in the Bank’s credit assets and treasury portfolios. Under IFRS 9 the Bank’s allowance for expected credit losses is estimated using the expected credit loss methodology and is comprised of expected credit losses recognized on both performing credit assets, and non-performing, or impaired credit assets, even if no actual loss event has occurred.

VersaBank’s ECL allowance as at April 30, 2026, was $8.34 million compared with $4.96 million a year ago and $7.92 million last quarter primarily due to:

Updates in the forward-looking information used by the Bank in its credit risk models; and,

Higher credit asset balances.

 

Forward-looking information

 

The Bank incorporates the impact of future economic conditions, or more specifically forward-looking information, into the estimation of expected credit losses at the credit risk parameter level. This is accomplished via the credit risk parameter models and proxy datasets that the Bank utilizes to develop probability of default (“PD”) and loss-given default (“LGD”) term structure forecasts for its credit assets. The Bank has sourced credit risk modeling systems and forecast macroeconomic scenario data from Moody’s Analytics, a third-party service provider for the purpose of computing forward-looking credit risk parameters under multiple macroeconomic scenarios that consider both market-wide and idiosyncratic factors and influences. These systems are used in conjunction with the Bank’s internally developed ECL models. Given that the Bank has experienced very limited historical losses and, therefore, does not have available statistically significant loss data inventory for use in developing internal, forward-looking expected credit loss trends, the use of unbiased, third-party forward-looking credit risk parameter modeling systems is particularly important for the Bank in the context of the estimation of expected credit losses.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
23

 

The Bank utilizes macroeconomic indicator data derived from multiple macroeconomic scenarios in order to mitigate volatility in the estimation of expected credit losses, as well as to satisfy the IFRS 9 requirement that future economic conditions are to be based on an unbiased, probability-weighted assessment of possible future outcomes. More specifically, the macroeconomic indicators set out in the macroeconomic scenarios are used as inputs for the credit risk parameter models utilized by the Bank to sensitize the individual PD and LGD term structure forecasts to the respective macroeconomic trajectory set out in each of the scenarios (see Expected Credit Loss Sensitivity below). Currently the Bank utilizes upside, downside and baseline forecast macroeconomic scenarios and assigns discrete weights to each for use in the estimation of its reported ECL. The Bank has also applied expert credit judgement, where appropriate, to reflect, amongst other items, uncertainty in the Canadian and US macroeconomic environments.

 

The macroeconomic indicator data sourced from Moody’s Analytics and utilized by the Bank for the purpose of sensitizing probability of default and loss given default term structure data to forward economic conditions include, but are not limited to: real GDP, the national unemployment rate, long term interest rates, the consumer price index, the S&P/TSX Index and the price of oil. These specific macroeconomic indicators were selected in an attempt to ensure that the spectrum of fundamental macroeconomic influences on the key drivers of the credit risk profile of the Bank’s assets, including: corporate, consumer and real estate market dynamics; corporate, consumer and SME borrower performance; geography; as well as collateral value volatility, are appropriately captured and incorporated into the Bank’s forward macroeconomic sensitivity analysis.

 

The key assumptions driving the quarterly outlook for 2026 continue to be shaped by global trade policy and tariff-related uncertainty, although volatility in average tariff rates has eased. Trade uncertainty remains a material constraint on cross-border activity, weighing on supply chains, exports and business investment in both Canada and the United States, with upcoming North American trade milestones still a notable source of risk. In addition, the situation in the Middle East has emerged as a significant new macroeconomic shock, pushing global energy prices higher and increasing near-term inflation uncertainty. The Bank of Canada expects economic growth to remain modest through 2026, with inflation rising temporarily due to higher energy prices before easing back toward target as price pressures moderate. The U.S. Federal Reserve continues to signal a cautious policy stance, with uncertainty elevated and limited scope for near-term easing. Labour market conditions are expected to soften further but not deteriorate sharply; Canadian labour market data point to weaker hiring and a higher unemployment rate, while U.S. labour conditions remain comparatively resilient. Overall, growth is expected to remain modest rather than recessionary, with trade-related risks and energy driven inflation pressures potentially limiting monetary policy flexibility later in the year.

 

Management developed ECL estimates using credit risk parameter term structure forecasts sensitized to individual baseline, upside and downside forecast macroeconomic scenarios, each weighted at 100%, and subsequently computed the variance of each to the Bank’s reported ECL as at April 30, 2026 in order to assess the alignment of the Bank’s reported ECL with the Bank’s credit risk profile, and further, to assess the scope, depth and ultimate effectiveness of the credit risk mitigation strategies that the Bank has applied to its lending portfolios.

A summary of the key forecast macroeconomic indicator data trends utilized by VersaBank for the purpose of sensitizing lending asset credit risk parameter term structure forecasts to forward looking information, which in turn are used in the estimation of VersaBank’s reported ECL, as well as in the assessment of same are presented in the charts below (see Expected Credit Loss Sensitivity below).

Expected Credit Loss Sensitivity:

 

The following table presents the sensitivity of the Bank’s estimated ECL to a range of individual forecast macroeconomic scenarios, that in isolation may not reflect the Bank’s actual expected ECL exposure, as well as the variance of each to the Bank’s reported ECL as at April 30, 2026:

The uncertainty associated with interest rates, inflation and unemployment trends given the expectation of an economic slowdown in both Canada and the US, as well as elevated geopolitical risk, may result in VersaBank’s estimated ECL amounts exhibiting some future volatility, which in turn may result in the Bank recognizing higher provisions for credit losses in the future.

 

Considering the analysis set out above and based on management’s review of the credit asset and credit data comprising VersaBank’s lending portfolio, combined with management’s interpretation of the available forecast macroeconomic and industry data, management is of the view that its reported ECL allowance represents a reasonable proxy for potential future credit losses.

 

Deposits

 

VersaBank has established three core low-cost deposit funding channels: Deposit brokers in Canada and the US, Licensed Insolvency Trustee firms in Canada, and cash reserves retained from VersaBank’s SRP partners, which are classified as other liabilities.

The majority of VersaBank’s Canadian and US deposits are sourced through deposit brokers, specifically investment dealers, wealth management firms and financial advisory firms that distribute the Bank’s term deposit products to their respective end clients.

 

In Canada, the Bank also sources deposits through Licensed Insolvency Trustee firms that value the ability to use VersaBank’s proprietary technology to seamlessly and efficiently interface with their administrative software, which results in a lower cost of funds to the Bank compared to conventional deposits.

 

The Bank's primary deposit products are eligible for insurance, by CDIC and FDIC, up to their respective limits.

Shareholders Equity

 

Shareholders’ equity was $552.2 million as at April 30 2026, compared with $528.3 million a year ago and $543.1 million last quarter.

 

On December 18, 2024, the Bank completed a treasury offering of 5,660,378 common shares at a price of USD $13.25 per share, at the time the equivalent of CAD $18.95 per share, for gross proceeds of USD $75.0 million. On December 24, 2024, the underwriters of the aforementioned offering exercised their full over-allotment option to purchase an additional 849,056 common shares (15% of the 5,660,378 common shares issued via the base offering referenced above) at a price of USD $13.25 per share, or at the time the equivalent of CAD $19.07 per share, for gross proceeds of USD $11.2 million. Total net cash proceeds from the common share offering was CAD $116.0 million. However, the Bank’s share capital increased by CAD $116.3 million corresponding to the common share offering and tax effected issue costs in the amount of CAD $6.2 million.

At April 30, 2026, there were 32,195,697 common shares outstanding compared with 32,518,786 common shares outstanding a year ago and 32,069,447 common shares outstanding last quarter.

 

The Bank issued 126,250 Common Shares in connection with the exercise of stock options during the current quarter for proceeds of $2.0 million. In the same period a year ago, no common shares were issued in connection with the exercise of stock options. In the sequential quarter, the Bank issued 123,912 Common Shares in connection with the exercise of stock options during the current quarter for proceeds of $2.0 million.

 

On April 28, 2026, the Bank received approval from the TSX to renew its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") for its common shares. Pursuant to the NCIB, VersaBank may purchase for cancellation up to 2,000,000 of its common shares, representing approximately 9.14% of its public float. As of April 16, 2026, the public float comprised 21,876,251 common shares and there were 32,167,347 issued and outstanding common shares in total. The average daily trading volume ("ADTV") of VersaBank's common shares on the TSX for the six months of October 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026 (the "Preceding Six Month Period") was 26,510 common shares. Daily purchases under the NCIB will be limited to 25% of the ADTV, which is 6,627 common shares, other than block purchase exceptions. During the Preceding Six-Month Period, 11,929,689 VersaBank common shares were traded on all exchanges. Of that total, 3,313,798 common shares were traded on the TSX, and the remaining 8,615,891 common shares were traded on other exchanges including the Nasdaq.

 

The ability to make purchases commenced on April 30, 2026, and will terminate on April 29, 2027, or such earlier date as VersaBank may complete its purchases pursuant to the NCIB. The purchases will be made by VersaBank through the facilities of the TSX and the Nasdaq and in accordance with the rules of the TSX or the Nasdaq, as applicable, and the prices that VersaBank will pay for any common shares will be the market price of such shares at the time of acquisition. VersaBank will make no purchases of common shares other than open market purchases. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

 

For the quarter ended April 30, 2026, no shares were purchased and cancelled by the Bank. In the same period year ago, no shares were purchased and cancelled. In the sequential quarter, no shares were purchased and cancelled.

 

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025 vs Q1 2026

 

Shareholders’ equity increased 5% compared with a year ago and 2% compared with last quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to higher retained earnings attributable to net income earned over the current quarter and common shares issued on stock options exercised, offset partially by payment of common share dividends in the current quarter.

 

VersaBank’s book value per common share as at April 30, 2026, was $17.15 compared with $16.25 a year ago and $16.93 last quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to higher retained earnings attributable to net income earned in the current quarter, offset partially by common shares issued on stock options exercised and the payment of dividends over the same period.

VersaBank reports its regulatory capital ratios using the Standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets, as defined under Basel III, which may require VersaBank to carry more capital for certain credit exposures compared with requirements under the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (“AIRB”) methodology. As a result, regulatory capital ratios of banks that utilize the Standardized approach are not directly comparable with the large Canadian banks that employ the AIRB methodology.

 

OSFI requires that all Canadian banks must comply with the Basel III standards on an “all-in” basis for purposes of determining their risk-based capital ratios. Required minimum regulatory capital ratios are a 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio, an 8.5% Tier 1 capital ratio and a 10.5% total capital ratio, all of which include a 2.5% capital conservation buffer.

 

The year-over-year and sequential changes exhibited by VersaBank’s reported regulatory capital levels, regulatory capital ratios and leverage ratio were a function primarily of retained earnings growth and changes to VersaBank’s risk-weighted asset balances and composition. The year-over-year variance also reflects the treasury offering of common shares on December 18, 2024, and the purchase and cancellation of common shares under the NCIB.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
30

 

For more information regarding capital management, please see note 15 to VersaBank’s April 30, 2026, unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements as well as the Capital Management and Capital Resources section of VersaBank’s MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2025.

 

Liquidity

 

The unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended April 30, 2026, shows cash provided by operations in the amount of $11.4 million compared with cash used in operations in the amount of $188.5 million for the same period last year. The current period reflects deposits raised and cash from operations exceeding the outflows to fund credit assets. The comparative period reflects outflows to fund credit assets as well as a net cash outflow from deposits maturing exceeding deposits raised and cash from operations. Based on factors such as liquidity requirements and opportunities for investment in credit assets and securities, VersaBank may manage the amount of deposits it raises and credit assets it funds in ways that result in the balances of these items giving rise to either negative or positive cash flow from operations. VersaBank will continue to fund its operations and meet contractual obligations as they become due using cash on hand and by closely managing its flow of deposit raising activities.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

The table below presents the duration difference between VersaBank’s assets and liabilities and the potential after-tax impact of a 100-basis point shift in interest rates on VersaBank’s earnings during a 12-month period if no remedial actions are taken. As at April 30, 2026, the duration difference between assets and liabilities was (2.1) months compared with (0.9) months as at October 31, 2025. As at April 30, 2026, VersaBank’s assets would reprice faster than its liabilities in the event of a future change in interest rates.

Contractual Obligations

 

As at April 30, 2026, the Bank held a number of designated hedging instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. The Bank had an outstanding interest rate swap with a notional amount of $19.3 million, entered into for asset liability management purposes and qualifying for hedge accounting, which swaps between fixed and floating interest rates.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A

In addition, the Bank has designated foreign exchange forward contracts as net investment hedges in respect of its US operations: a USD $138.6 million forward to hedge the net investment in VersaBank USA and a USD $14.0 million forward, entered during 2025, to hedge the net investment in VersaFinance US Corp; both instruments are intended to reduce exposure to fluctuations between the Bank’s functional currency (CAD) and the US dollar. The Bank also entered into a USD $12.1 million foreign exchange forward to mitigate foreign exchange risk on an intercompany loan denominated in USD arising from an intercompany transfer of assets. These hedging arrangements are intended to minimize the Bank’s exposure to movements in interest rates and in the CAD/USD exchange rate.

 

There have been no other significant changes in contractual obligations as disclosed in VersaBank’s MD&A and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2025.

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
34

 

Digital Banking Canada

 

Note: The financial results for Digital Banking Canada contain certain non-interest expenses for general corporate administrative costs.

 

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025

 

Net income decreased $5.1 million, or 56%, to $4.1 million primarily due to a $6.7 million charge comprised of $4.5 million in project costs associated with the Reorganization, and the $2.2 million intangible asset write down resulting from the sale of the Bank’s sole physical branch and higher general corporate administrative costs, offset partially by higher net interest income and a lower PCL.

 

Q2 2026 vs Q1 2026

 

Net income decreased $4.6 million, or 53%, primarily due to higher project costs associated with the Reorganization, and the $2.2 million intangible asset write down resulting from the sale of the Bank’s sole physical branch, offset partially by higher net interest income and a lower PCL.

 

Q2 YTD 2026 vs Q2 YTD 2025

 

Net income decreased $5.2 million, or 29%, primarily due to higher net interest income, project costs associated with the Reorganization, and the intangible asset write down resulting from the sale of the Bank’s sole physical branch and higher general non-interest expenses, offset partially by higher net interest income and a lower PCL.

 

Digital Banking USA

 

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025

 

Net income increased $3.5 million to $3.6 million primarily due to higher net interest income, offset partially by higher non-interest expenses, reflecting the onboarding of staff and related operating expenses to support the expansion of VersaBank USA, predominantly related to the ramp up of the SRP portfolio.

 

Q2 2026 vs Q1 2026

 

Net income increased $782,000 primarily due to higher net interest income and a recovery of credit loss provisions, offset partially by higher non-interest expenses.

 

Q2 YTD 2026 vs Q2 YTD 2025

 

Net income increased $6.2 million to $6.4 million primarily due to higher net interest income, offset partially by higher non-interest expenses reflecting the onboarding of staff and related operating expense to support the expansion of VersaBank USA.

 

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
35

 

DRTC (Cybersecurity Services)

 

Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025

 

DRTC net loss was $508,000 compared to a net loss of $652,000 last year. The decreased loss was primarily due to the increase in new cybersecurity offerings.

 

Q2 2026 vs Q1 2026

 

DRTC net loss was $508,000 compared to a net loss of $630,000 last quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher revenue driven by higher client engagements in the current quarter.

 

Q2 YTD 2026 vs Q2 YTD 2025

 

DRTC net loss was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.4 million last year. The decrease was primarily due to higher revenue driven by higher client engagements in the current period.

 

Strategic Divestiture of DRTC

 

In furtherance of the Bank’s strategic initiatives and in consideration of current US regulatory requirements, management has expressed its intention to cease or divest of certain activities, including the cybersecurity assets within DRTC, a subsidiary operating within the cybersecurity and financial technology industry, and Digital Boundary Group, Inc. and Digital Boundary Group Canada Inc. (collectively, the “Digital Boundary Group Entities”), subsidiaries of DRTC operating within the penetration testing industry. The Bank has initiated a process to identify and evaluate alternatives with the objective to maximize the value derived from the divestiture for shareholders.

 

As of April 30, 2026, the Digital Boundary Group Entities and certain assets in DRTC have not been classified as “held for sale” under IFRS 5 –Non‑current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as certain required criteria have not yet been fully satisfied. While management has not begun actively marketing the Digital Boundary Group Entities and certain assets of DRTC for sale, these subsidiaries and assets are also not yet available for immediate sale in their present condition and continue to be integral to the Bank’s ongoing operations. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the status of the planned divestiture, including the progress of the active sales program. The subsidiaries will be reclassified as “held for sale” and presented in accordance with IFRS 5 once all conditions for such classification are met.

 

Certain members of management hold convertible preferred shares in DRTC. In accordance with DRTC’s by‑laws, these shares will automatically convert into an aggregate 28% common share ownership stake in DRTC upon the occurrence of a change‑of‑control event.

VersaBank – Q2 2026 MD&A
37

 

The financial results for each of the last eight quarters are summarized above. Key drivers of VersaBank’s sequential performance changes for the current reporting period were:

 

bullet.jpg

Credit asset growth attributable to continued growth in the SRP portfolio;

bullet.jpg

Higher NIM attributable primarily to higher yields earned on the Bank’s credit assets and lower cost of funds;

bullet.jpg

Lower PCL attributable primarily to updates in the forward-looking information used by the Bank in its credit risk models; and,

bullet.jpg

Higher non-interest expense attributable primarily to higher project costs associated with the Reorganization, the onboarding of the RBTD platform, and the intangible asset write down resulting from the sale of the Bank’s sole physical branch and higher general operating costs in the quarter.

 

Subsequent events

 

On January 7, 2026, the Bank entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Stearns Bank National Association. Under the Agreement, the Bank agreed to sell certain assets associated with the Bank’s branch located at 580 Main Street, Holdingford, Minnesota, to Stearns Bank National Association, which also agreed to assume certain deposit liabilities related to that location. The transaction closed on May 1, 2026. The transaction has an immaterial impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

 

Non-GAAP and other financial measures are not standardized financial measures under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of the Bank to which these measures relate. These measures may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. The Bank uses these financial measures to assess its performance and as such believes these financial measures are useful in providing readers with a better understanding of how management assesses the Bank’s performance.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Return on Average Common Equity is defined as annualized net income less amounts relating to preferred share dividends, divided by average common shareholders’ equity, which is average shareholders’ equity less amounts relating to preferred shares recorded in equity.

Other Financial Measures

 

Yield is calculated as interest income (as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income) divided by average total assets. Yield does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.

 

Cost of Funds is calculated as interest expense (as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income) divided by average total assets. Cost of funds does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.

 

Net Interest Margin or Spread are calculated as net interest income divided by average total assets. Net interest margin or spread does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.

 

Net Interest Margin on Credit Assets is calculated as net interest income adjusted for the impact of cash, securities and other assets, divided by average gross credit assets. This metric does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.

 

Efficiency Ratio is calculated as non-interest expenses from consolidated operations as a percentage of total revenue (as presented in the interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income). This ratio does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.
