| Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Paid The Bank paid to the Company cash dividends in the aggregate amounts of $35.1 million and $28.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and during the equivalent six month periods paid $46.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively. The Bank is regulated by the FDIC and the DFPI. Absent approval from the Commissioner of the DFPI, California banking laws generally limit the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the lesser of (1) retained earnings or (2) net income for the last three fiscal years, less cash distributions paid during such period. Stock Repurchase Plan The Company's Board of Directors has approved the authorization to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of the Company's common stock (the 2025 Repurchase Plan or the 2025 Program). The Company’s 2025 Repurchase Plan replaces and supersedes the 2021 Share Repurchase Program which has been terminated as of December 31, 2025. The actual timing of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management and therefore the total value of the shares to be purchased under the 2025 Program is subject to change. The 2025 Program has no expiration date but the Board may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased zero shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 447,211 shares with a market value totaling $21.6 million under the 2025 Program. There were no shares repurchased in 2025 under the 2025 Program, however, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 the Company purchased 379,978 and 469,632 shares with market values of $15.2 million and $18.9 million under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026, approximately 1,553,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase. Stock Repurchased Under Equity Compensation Plans The Company's shareholder-approved equity compensation plans permit employees to tender recently vested shares in lieu of cash for the payment of exercise price, if applicable, and the tax withholding on such shares. There were no option exercises during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Employees tendered 33,379 and 11,542 shares in connection with the tax withholding requirements of other share-based awards during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 50,641 and 21,664 shares during the six months then ended, respectively. In total, shares of the Company's common stock tendered had market values of $1.8 million and $0.5 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $2.6 million and $0.9 million during the respective six month periods. The tendered shares were retired. The market value of tendered shares is the last market trade price at closing on the day an option is exercised or the other share-based award vests. Stock repurchased under equity incentive plans are not included in the total of stock repurchased under the 2025 Program.
