For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses and the related increase in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was primarily due to the impact of $2.8 million in net charge-offs during the quarter, together with loan growth and increased specific reserves on certain individually evaluated loans, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic forecasts. Qualitative factors remained unchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Net charge-offs were $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $13,000 and $115,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated collateral-dependent loans, including nonaccrual loans, modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and PCD loans, by loan and collateral type as of the dates indicated.

As part of its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) in 2022, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower’s contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of 100% of the loss. The participating lender must return recoveries from the borrower, less expenses, to the credit loss reserve account. The funds in the loss reserve account are the property of CalCAP; however, in the event that the participating lender leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the participating lender and provided there are no pending claims for reimbursement, the remaining excess funds are distributed to CalCAP and the participating lender based on their respective contributions to the loss reserve account. Funds contributed by the participating lender to the loss reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP and evaluated for credit losses quarterly. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $3.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of loans enrolled in this loan program. The Company had a loss reserve account of $2.4 million and $4.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated loans under this program of $530,000 and $825,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $5.5 million and $8.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $13.0 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $4.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $19.0 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $4.9 million.
