Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2026, there were no significant changes to accounting policies from those disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial StatementsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Other significant estimates, which may be subject to change, include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill and loans, as well as valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

Business Segments — We regularly assess our strategic plans, operations, reporting structures and financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer, our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), to identify our reportable segments. At June 30, 2026 and since September 30, 2018, we have operated as one reportable segment. Changes to our reportable segments are expected to be infrequent.

 

The factors considered in making this determination included the nature of products and services offered, geographic regions in which we operate, the applicable regulatory environment, and the materiality of discrete financial information reviewed by our CODM. Through our network of banking centers, we provide relationship-based banking products, services and solutions for small to mid-sized companies, real estate investors, non-profit organizations, professionals and other individuals. Our products include loans for commercial businesses, commercial real estate, multi-family, construction, land, dairy & livestock and agribusiness, consumer and government-guaranteed small business loans. We also provide business deposit products and treasury cash management services, as well as deposit products to the owners and employees of the businesses we serve. Our operations are throughout the state of California.

 

The Company has determined that all of its banking divisions meet the aggregation criteria of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby banking divisions serve a similar base of primarily commercial clients utilizing a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms, and therefore operates one line of business that is collectively reviewed by the CODM. The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as net income reported in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. No additional qualitative segment disclosures are required based on this assessment.

ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans

 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, which expands the use of the gross-up approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Credit Losses, to all “purchased seasoned loans.” The ASU defines purchased seasoned loans as loans that are not purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. Early adoption is permitted.

 

January 1,
2026

 

The Company elected to early adopt this ASU, effective January 1, 2026 and applied it to the accounting for the acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp, which was completed in the second quarter of 2026. As a result, the Company established an initial allowance for credit losses of $25.2 million on purchased seasoned loans acquired from Heritage at the acquisition date, with a corresponding increase to the loans' amortized cost basis. In addition, the Company recognized an initial allowance for credit losses of $21.4 million on PCD loans through a gross-up of the acquired loan balances. The adoption of this ASU did not otherwise have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For additional details related to the acquisition, see Note 4 — Business Combination of the notes to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The prescribed categories include employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.

This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis, though early adoption and retrospective application are permitted.

ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements

 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, which amends certain aspects of hedge accounting guidance to better align with an entity's risk management activities and reflect those strategies in the financial statements. This ASU intended to enhance or clarify the guidance under ASC 815 in the following areas:
(1) Expanding the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions, thereby enabling entities to apply hedge accounting to potentially broader portfolios of forecasted transactions;
(2) Enabling hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt and address existing diversity in practice;
(3) Expanding hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets subject to certain criteria;
(4) Accommodating differences in the loan and swap markets that resulted from reference rate reform, eliminating the requirement for the net written option test in certain instances;
(5) Eliminating the recognition and presentation mismatch related to dual hedge strategies.

This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted.

This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
