The Senior Notes are presented net of discount and direct issuance costs in the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Information

Determination of the CODM

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO makes the overall decisions about the Company’s resource allocation and assesses the performance of the Company.

Determination and Identification of operating segments

The CODM manages the Company as one operating segment: the consolidated Company as one entity. All decisions regarding the allocation of financial, operational, and other resources are managed under this one segment. As part of the determination for the allocation of resources, the CODM regularly reviews net income as the measure of profit or loss. In addition, as part of the CODM’s assessment of the performance of the consolidated entity, the CODM also reviews the consolidated financial statements for significant expenses which include both cash and noncash items, such as amortization and depreciation and stock-based compensation. For more information on the significant components of net income or any significant cash or noncash items, refer to our accompanying consolidated financial statements or the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within. The measure of assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

b) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year or any other period. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and the accompanying footnote disclosures for the Company, which are included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Estimates

The 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: (i) the determination of the allowance for credit losses; (ii) the fair values of loans, securities and derivative contracts; (iii) the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance; and (iv) the determination of whether the amount of deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. Management believes that these estimates are appropriate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income

To emphasize material items, certain line items have been aggregated in the statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income presented in this Form 10-Q. As part of these updates, interest-bearing demand, savings, and money market deposits have been aggregated into one line item in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. Prior periods have been conformed to this presentation for comparability.

c) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Issued and Adopted

New Guidance on Purchased Loans

In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to certain purchased loans. This guidance expands the use of the gross‑up approach for measuring credit losses at acquisition for certain purchased loans and eliminates the recognition of a Day 1 credit loss expense for those loans. Under this guidance, entities are required to account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition, referred to as purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”), by recognizing them at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses.

PSLs are purchased non-credit‑deteriorated loans, excluding credit cards, obtained in a business combination or acquired more than 90 days after origination through qualifying asset acquisitions or upon consolidation of non‑business variable interest entities.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance, effective January 1, 2026 and applied it prospectively. As a result of this adoption, for PSL loans acquired during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, including residential and commercial loans originated at least 90 days prior to acquisition, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $2.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, at the date of acquisition.

For a description of other recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K. There were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted or issued that are expected to have a material impact on the Company, other than those disclosed above or in the 2025 Form 10‑K.

d) Subsequent Events

The effects of significant subsequent events, if any, have been recognized or disclosed in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

These balances include cash pledged as collateral, by other banks to us, to secure derivatives’ margin calls. This cash pledged as collateral also represents an obligation, by the Bank, to repay according to margin requirements. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, this obligation was $28.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, which is included as part of other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise Debt Securities, U.S. Government Agency Debt Securities and U.S. Treasury Securities.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held certain debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. In addition, as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held U.S. Treasury securities, which have an explicit government guarantee. The Company does not intend to sell impaired debt securities in these categories, if any, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company evaluates these securities for credit losses by reviewing current market conditions, the extent and nature of changes in fair value, credit ratings, default and delinquency rates and current analysts’ evaluations. The Company believes the decline in fair value on certain of these debt securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and investment securities markets, generally, and not credit quality. As a result, the Company did not record an Allowance for Credit Losses, or ACL, on these securities as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The ACL was determined utilizing a reasonable and supportable forecast period. It was calculated using a weighted-average of various economic scenarios provided by a third-party and incorporated qualitative components. There have not been material changes in our policies and methodology to estimate the ACL in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

The ACL as a percentage of total loans held for investment was 1.36% at September 30, 2026 compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2025.

In the third quarter of 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans totaled $8.9 million, primarily driven by net increases from (i) $12.6 million in specific reserves, (ii) $2.0 million in additional reserves for charge-offs, and (iii) $0.2 million due to loan growth. These increases were partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease due to changes in credit quality and macroeconomic factors.

In the first nine months of 2026, provision for credit losses on loans totaled $21.4 million, primarily driven by $16.5 million net increase in specific reserves, and $9.2 million in additional reserves for charge-offs. These increases were partially offset by $2.5 million release attributable to changes in credit quality and macroeconomic factors and a $1.8 million release related to loans held for investment volume changes.

ACL on PSLs

PSLs are initially recorded at the purchase price. An ACL is established at acquisition on a collective basis and allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and the ACL represents the loan’s initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the loan’s par value represents a noncredit discount or premium. Any noncredit discount or premium is accreted or amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining contractual term of the loan.

Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for PSL loans is measured using the same methodology applied to other originated loans held for investment and measured at amortized cost. Subsequent changes in the ACL losses are recognized through credit loss expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For PSLs for which expected credit losses are measured using methods other than discounted cash flows, management evaluated the optional election under PSL accounting guidance to measure the initial allowance based on amortized cost. However, this election was not made for loans purchased in the first nine months of 2026. Under PSL guidance, this election is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Company modifies loans related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company modified one CRE loan relationship related to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The modification consisted of a combination of an interest rate reduction and a term extension, with no significant financial effect. At September 30, 2026, this loan relationship had an amortized cost of $15.8 million, or 0.9%, of total CRE loans held for investment, and remained current and on accrual status. As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding balances related to loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The Company had no new loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

There were no modified loans to borrowers that had experienced financial difficulty that defaulted in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and had been modified within 12 months preceding the payment default.

Credit Risk Quality

The sufficiency of the ACL is reviewed at least quarterly by the Executive Credit Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Board of Directors considers the ACL as part of its review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company believes the ACL to be sufficient to absorb expected credit losses in the loans portfolio in accordance with GAAP.

Loans may be classified but not considered collateral dependent due to one of the following reasons: (1) the Company has established minimum dollar amount thresholds for individual assessment of expected credit losses, which results in loans under those thresholds being excluded from individual assessment of expected credit losses; and (2) classified loans may be considered in the assessment because the Company expects to collect all amounts due.

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related primarily to (i) the risk rating of loans, (ii) the loan payment status, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans and (v) the general economic conditions in the main geographies where the Company’s borrowers conduct their businesses. The Company considers the views of its regulators as to loan classification and in the process of estimating expected credit losses.

The Company utilizes an internal risk rating system to identify the risk characteristics of each of its loans, or group of homogeneous loans such as consumer loans. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis on a scale from 1 (worst credit quality) to 10 (best credit quality). Loans are then grouped in five master risk categories for purposes of monitoring rising levels of potential loss risks and to enable the activation of collection or recovery processes as defined in the Company’s Credit Risk Policy. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for commercial loans. Generally, internal risk ratings for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans with balances over $3 million are assessed for updates at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. For consumer loans, single-family residential loans and smaller commercial loans under $3 million, risk ratings are updated based on the loans past due status.

The following is a summary of the master risk categories and their associated loan risk ratings, as well as a description of the general characteristics of the master risk category:

Loan Risk Rating

Master risk category

Nonclassified

4 to 10

Classified

1 to 3

Substandard

3

Doubtful

2

Loss

1

Nonclassified

This category includes loans considered as Pass (5-10) and Special Mention (4). A loan classified as Pass is considered of sufficient quality to preclude a lower adverse rating. These loans are generally well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the value of any collateral received. Special Mention loans are defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention which, if left uncorrected, could potentially result in further credit deterioration. Special Mention loans may include loans originated with certain credit weaknesses or that developed those weaknesses since their origination.

Classified

This classification indicates the presence of credit weaknesses which could make loan repayment unlikely, such as partial or total late payments and other contractual defaults.

Substandard

A loan classified substandard is inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the credit weaknesses are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual assets.

Doubtful

These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These are poor quality loans in which neither the collateral, if any, nor the financial condition of the borrower presently ensure collection in full in a reasonable period of time. As a result, the possibility of loss is extremely high.

Loss

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the assets have absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but not to the point where a write-off should be deferred even though partial recoveries may occur in the future. This classification is based upon current facts, not probabilities. As a result, loans in this category should be promptly charged off in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible.

Individually Evaluated Loans - Collateral-Dependent and Other

Loans individually evaluated for expected credit losses are primarily those with well‑defined weaknesses that are classified as substandard or worse and that have loan balances of $1 million or greater. Certain smaller‑balance loans may also be individually evaluated when a loss is deemed highly likely and the loan is fully reserved. These loans are mainly evaluated under two methods, collateral-dependent and discounted cash flow.

Loans are considered collateral-dependent when the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided by the sale or operation of the underlying collateral. In this case, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. The ACL may be zero if the fair value less estimated costs to sell of the collateral at the measurement date is equal or greater than the amortized cost basis of the loan.

Loans are evaluated under the discounted cash flow method when the Company expects repayment of the financial asset from the payments received, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the present value of the expected payments to be received discounted at the loan’s contractual interest rate and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. In certain circumstances, management may utilize probability‑weighted scenarios to reflect different reasonable and supportable expectations of future cash collections. The ACL may be zero if the present value at the measurement date is equal or greater than the amortized cost basis of the loan.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s individually evaluated loans, totaled $191.0 million and $259.3 million, respectively.

8.Derivative Instruments

From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its interest rate management activities and to facilitate customer transactions. Those instruments may or may not be designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship. The customer derivatives we use for the Company’s account are generally matched against derivatives from third parties, but are not designated as hedging instruments.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps On Debt Instruments

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts on debt instruments which the Company designates and qualifies as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swaps are designed as cash flow hedges to manage the exposure that arises from differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and the known or expected cash payments on designated debt instruments. These interest rate swap contracts involve the Company’s payment of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the contracts without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had five interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $64.2 million, maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2029. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges to manage the exposure of variable rate interest payments on all of the Company’s outstanding variable-rate junior subordinated debentures with principal amounts at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 totaling $64.2 million. The Company expects these interest rate swaps to be highly effective in offsetting the effects of changes in interest rates on cash flows associated with the Company’s variable-rate junior subordinated debentures. The Company recognized unrealized gains of $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and unrealized gains of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in connection with these interest rate swap contracts, which were included as part of interest expense on junior subordinated debentures in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

In 2019, the Company terminated 16 interest rate swaps that had been designated as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments on the outstanding and expected rollover of variable-rate advances from the FHLB. The Company is recognizing the contracts’ cumulative net unrealized gains of $8.9 million in earnings over the remaining original life of the terminated interest rate swaps ranging between one month and seven years. The Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $0.5 million and $0.6 million in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, as a reduction of interest expense on FHLB advances as a result of this amortization. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining cumulative net unrealized gains related to these interest rate swaps was $0.1 million.

Interest Rate Swaps On Loans

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had three interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges, with aggregate notional amounts of $250.0 million, and with maturities in the second quarter of 2027, 2028 and 2029. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had one interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $50.0 million, maturing in the second quarter of 2027. The Company designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to manage interest rate risk exposure on variable rate interest receipts on the first $250.0 million and $50 million principal balance of a pool of loans as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These interest rate swap contracts involve the Company’s payment of variable-rate amounts in exchange for the Company receiving fixed-rate payments over the life of the contracts without exchange of the underlying notional amounts. Unrealized gains or losses on these instruments are included as part of interest income on loans in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Floor On Loans

During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company entered into one purchased floor agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million and a maturity date of September 2028, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted interest receipts on variable-rate loans indexed to one month Term SOFR. This hedge represents an additional designated layer of forecasted cash flows from the same pool of variable-rate loans that is partially hedged through the Company's interest rate swap cash flow hedges. Together, the Company's cash flow hedge relationships cover forecasted interest receipts on an aggregate $350.0 million notional amount of variable-rate loans, consisting of $250.0 million hedged with interest rate swaps and an additional $100.0 million hedged with the purchased floor.

The purchased floor is intended to mitigate the risk of declining interest receipts resulting from decreases in benchmark interest rates below the floor strike rate. The Company expects the purchased interest rate floor to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged forecasted transactions attributable to changes in interest rates.

Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge, including amounts associated with the excluded option time value component, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings and amortized on a straight line basis within interest income on loans as the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

a) Customer related positions

The Company offers certain derivatives products, including interest rate swaps and caps, directly to qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. The Company partially offsets its exposure to interest rate swaps and caps by entering similar derivative contracts with various third-party brokers.

Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swap contracts involve the Company’s payment of variable-rate amounts to customers in exchange for the Company receiving fixed-rate payments from customers over the life of the contracts without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company enters into swap participation agreements with other financial institutions to manage the credit risk exposure on certain interest rate swaps with customers. Under these agreements, the Company, as the beneficiary or guarantor, will receive or make payments from/to the counterparty if the borrower defaults on the related interest rate swap contract. The notional amount of these agreements is based on the Company’s pro-rata share of the related interest rate swap contracts.

Interest Rate Caps

Interest rate cap contracts involve the Company making payments if an interest rate exceeds the agreed strike price.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

Some agreements may require the Company to pledge securities as collateral when the valuation of the interest rate swap derivative contracts fall below a certain amount. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $0.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in securities pledged as collateral for interest rate swaps in a liability position. Additionally, most of our derivative arrangements with counterparties require the posting of collateral upon meeting certain net exposure thresholds. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash held as collateral for derivatives margin calls of $28.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. See Note 2 “Interest Earning Deposits with Banks, Other Short-Term Investments and Restricted Cash” for additional information about cash held as collateral. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no collateral requirements related to interest rate swaps with third-party brokers not designated as hedging instruments.

9.Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. This effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual consolidated pre-tax income, permanent tax differences and statutory tax rates. Under this method, the tax effect of certain items that do not meet the definition of ordinary income or expense are computed and recognized as discrete items when they occur.

The effective combined federal and state tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were 22.65% and 22.60%, respectively. Effective tax rates differ from the statutory rates mainly due to the impact of forecasted permanent non-taxable interest and other income, forecasted permanent non-deductible expenses, and the effect of corporate state taxes.

10.     Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (“AOCL/AOCI”):

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company and its subsidiaries may be exposed to loss contingencies. In the ordinary course of business, those contingencies may include, known but unasserted claims, and legal / regulatory inquiries or examinations. The Company records these loss contingencies as a liability when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the Company maintains a liability that is in an estimated amount sufficient to cover said loss contingencies, if any, at the reporting dates. The Company enters, from time to time, into agreements to purchase syndicated loans. The amount ultimately purchased is determinable upon confirmation and settlement of the transaction. The Company does not assume credit exposure associated with the underlying loans prior to such confirmation and settlement.

On October 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Wind-down and Settlement Agreement (the “Wind-down Agreement”) with a commercial borrower to resolve an existing loan participation agreement. Under the Wind-down Agreement, the Company assumed the risk of future credit losses under the participation agreement, up to a cumulative cap of $7.7 million through June 30, 2026 (the “Loss Cap”). If actual credit losses were below the Loss Cap as of that date, the Company would pay the difference to the borrower by June 30, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had incurred actual credit losses totaling $7.7 million. As a result, the maximum amount of the Loss Cap was reached, and, therefore, the Company does not expect to incur any additional losses with respect to this loan participation agreement. As part of the Wind-down Agreement, the borrower agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the full and timely payment of all amounts due to the Company under the loan participation agreement that exceed the Loss Cap, up to a maximum of $13.9 million. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding balance of the loan participation agreement and no associated credit risk.

Financial instruments whose contract amount represents off-balance sheet credit risk at September 30, 2026 are generally short-term and are as follows:

(thousands)			Approximate Contract Amount
Commitments to extend credit			$	1,327,634
Standby letters of credit			181,927
			$	1,509,561

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit risk exposures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

(in thousands)						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,

Loans Held for Sale, at Lower of Cost or Fair Value

The fair value used for loans held for sale that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value is generally based on quoted market prices of similar loans less estimated cost to sell and is considered to be Level 3.

Cash Flow Dependent Loans Measured For Expected Credit Losses

The carrying amount of individually evaluated loans where repayment is expected to be provided through cash flows is estimated using the present value discounted cash flow method. The estimated cash flows are based on the borrower’s repayment capacity, using available financial information. In certain circumstances, management may utilize probability‑weighted scenarios to reflect different reasonable and supportable expectations of future cash collections. Because this approach incorporates significant unobservable inputs, such as borrower‑specific cash flow estimates, discount rates, and probability‑of‑default assumptions, the fair value of these loans is classified as a Level 3 valuation.

Collateral Dependent Loans Measured For Expected Credit Losses

The carrying amount of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell. The Company primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring expected credit losses on collateral dependent loans. The Company also uses third party appraisal reviewers for loans with an outstanding balance of $1 million and above. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or properties and may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, the Company uses judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the fair value of the collateral is considered a Level 3 valuation.

OREO

The Company values Other Real Estate Owned (OREO), at the lower of cost or fair value of the property, less cost to sell. The fair value of the property is generally based upon recent appraisal values of the property, less cost to sell. The Company primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring the valuation of OREO. Period revaluations are classified as Level 3 as the assumptions used may not be observable. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, the Company sold one unit of a commercial real estate property classified as other real estate owned, with a carrying value of $8.1 million, resulting in a loss of $1.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded a valuation gain of $2.6 million based on a recent appraisal of the remaining unit of the property.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Net income available to common stockholders						$	25,716					$	14,756					$	64,632					$	49,716
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding						39,164,732						41,590,201						39,594,915						41,802,195
Dilutive effect of share-based compensation awards						280,052						183,900						222,655						141,051
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding						39,444,784						41,774,101						39,817,570						41,943,246
Basic earnings per common share						$	0.66					$	0.35					$	1.63					$	1.19
Diluted earnings per common share						$	0.65					$	0.35					$	1.62					$	1.19

As of September 30, 2026, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock units and performance share units totaling 543,339. As of September 30, 2025, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units totaling 558,172. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, potential dilutive instruments were included in the diluted earnings per share computation because, when the unamortized deferred compensation cost related to these shares was divided by the average market price per share in those periods, fewer shares would have been purchased than restricted shares assumed issued. Therefore, in those periods, such awards resulted in higher diluted weighted average shares outstanding than basic weighted average shares outstanding, and had a dilutive effect on per share earnings. Further, as of September 30, 2026 and 2025, 50,531 and 88,829 performance share units respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because the performance target was not achieved, or because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. See “Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 14. Incentive Compensation and Benefit Plans” in the 2025 Form 10-K for more details on the performance and or market conditions associated with these awards.

OVERVIEW

Our Company

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida. We provide individuals and businesses with a comprehensive array of deposit, credit, investment, wealth management, retail banking, mortgage, and fiduciary products and services. We serve customers in our United States markets and select international customers. These services are offered through our main subsidiary, Amerant Bank, N.A., or the Bank, which is also headquartered in Coral Gables, FL, as well as the Bank’s securities broker-dealer, Amerant Investments Inc., or Amerant Investments. The Bank’s primary markets are South Florida, where we are headquartered and operate 21 banking centers in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties; and Tampa, Florida where we have a regional headquarters office and currently operate two banking centers.

Business Developments

For more information on the progress of our business strategy and strategic initiatives in 2025, see Item 1. Business section included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Amerant Mortgage and Elant Bank & Trust Updates

Since April 2025, the Company had taken actions to wind down the operations of Amerant Mortgage, LLC, a mortgage lending company domiciled in Florida wholly owned by the Bank (“Amerant Mortgage”). As a result of these actions, Amerant Mortgage was formally dissolved as of September 30, 2026, and no longer operates as a subsidiary of the Bank. The Bank continues pursuing its in‑footprint, mortgage‑focused strategy through a dedicated mortgage department.

In 2023, the Company initiated a plan for the dissolution of Elant Bank & Trust Ltd., a bank and trust company domiciled in George Town, Grand Cayman (the “Cayman Bank”), a subsidiary of the Bank that operated under a Cayman Islands Offshore Bank license and a Trust license and was supervised by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. As of September 30, 2026, the Cayman Bank was not an operating subsidiary of the Bank and was formally dissolved as of October 7, 2026. The Bank continues pursuing its fiduciary and trust services business through a dedicated trust department.

Macroeconomic Updates

The third quarter of 2026 was characterized by continued U.S. economic expansion, with current estimates indicating that growth remained solid. Consumer activity continued to support the economy, aided by a generally stable labor market and the wealth effect associated with elevated asset values. Business investment also contributed meaningfully, particularly spending on technology and artificial intelligence-related infrastructure. Conversely, elevated borrowing costs constrained housing and other interest-rate-sensitive sectors, while tariffs, energy-market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty presented risks to the outlook. Inflation remained well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% objective, reflecting persistent underlying price pressures. In response, the Federal Open Market Committee increased the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00% in September, while deciding to keep them unchanged at its October meeting. The timing and extent of additional increases remain uncertain and dependent on incoming economic data.

Within this economic environment, the Company benefited from its differentiated deposit franchise and diversified earning-asset structure. Foreign deposits remained a meaningful source of lower-cost deposits, helping mitigate domestic pricing pressure and diversify liquidity. We continue to see signs of increased economic activity in Venezuela, including greater capital flows supporting capital expenditures and reinvestment in the oil sector. Higher oil production and favorable market prices are expected to further support liquidity and broader economic activity. We also saw an increase in appetite for the Bank’s wealth management products and services.

Higher interest rates also benefited the asset side of the Company’s balance sheet. Its diversified mix of fixed- and floating-rate loans allowed the Company to benefit from both the upward repricing of floating-rate loans and the replacement of lower-yielding legacy fixed-rate loans as they matured or repaid. Together with funding discipline and balance-sheet optimization, these dynamics contributed to an improvement in net interest margin to 3.77% and return on assets to 1.00%. The Company continued to generate loan growth and remained focused on supporting future loan and deposit growth while prioritizing relationship profitability and appropriate risk-adjusted returns.

Overall credit conditions remained generally positive, and the Company continued to experience improvement in nonperforming and classified loans. In the broader capital markets, recent widening in investment-grade and high-yield credit spreads indicated greater investor sensitivity to elevated interest rates, albeit below levels historically associated with severe market stress. Artificial intelligence-related investments continue to support economic activity, although the pace of related capital spending contributed to uncertainty regarding the sustainability of investment levels. These market developments reinforce the importance of prudent underwriting, portfolio diversification, risk-adjusted pricing and lending to borrowers with stable, well-established operating histories. The Company’s continued focus on this disciplined approach is expected to enhance the resilience of its loan portfolio against potential credit-market turbulence.

While current estimates indicate that the U.S. economy expanded at a solid pace during the third quarter, the outlook remains subject to persistent inflation, potential additional monetary-policy tightening, geopolitical tensions, tariffs, energy-market volatility and uncertainty surrounding the 2026 midterm elections. However, we continue to see strength across our Florida markets, supported by healthy fundamentals and continued population and business growth. The Company’s diversified loan structure, international deposit franchise, disciplined credit-risk management and ongoing balance-sheet optimization contributed to improved profitability in the third quarter 2026 and are expected to support its resilience as it pursues continued profitable growth.

Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Business

Results of Operations. In addition to net income or loss, the primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our results of operations include net interest income, noninterest income and expenses, and indicators of financial performance including return on assets (“ROA”) and return on equity (“ROE”). We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest, dividends and fees received on interest-earning assets, including loans and investment securities we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, and borrowings such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and other borrowings such as repurchase agreements, notes, debentures and other funding sources we may have from time to time. Net interest income typically is the most significant contributor to our revenues and net income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest spread; (iv) our net interest margin, or NIM; and (v) our provisions for credit losses. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income for the period by average interest-earning assets during that same period. Because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, NIM includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing sources of funds. Non-refundable loan origination fees, net of direct costs of originating loans, as well as premiums or discounts paid on loan purchases, including the initial allowance for expected credit losses on purchased seasoned loans, are deferred and recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to interest income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Changes in market interest rates and the interest we earn on interest-earning assets, or which we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volumes and the types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity, usually have the largest impact on periodic changes in our net interest spread, NIM and net interest income. We measure net interest income before and after the provision for credit losses.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of, among other revenue streams: (i) service fees on deposit accounts; (ii) income from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities; (iii) benefits from and changes in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, or BOLI, policies; (iv) card and trade finance servicing fees; (v) securities gains or losses; (vi) net gains and losses on early extinguishment of FHLB advances, which we may execute from time to time as part of asset/liability management activities; (vii) income from derivative transactions with customers; (viii) derivative gains or losses; and (ix) other noninterest income which includes mortgage banking revenue, gains or losses on the sale of loans originated for investment and other smaller sources of income.

Our income from service fees on deposit accounts is primarily affected by the volume, growth and mix of deposits we hold, as well as the volume of transactions initiated by customers (e.g., wire transfers). These are affected by prevailing market pricing of deposit services, interest rates, our marketing efforts and other factors.

Our income from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities consists of brokerage commissions related to our customers’ trading volume, fiduciary and investment advisory fees generally based on a percentage of the average value of assets under management and custody (“AUM”), and account administrative services and ancillary fees during the contractual period.

Income from changes in the cash surrender value of our BOLI policies represents the amounts that may be realized under the contracts with the insurance carriers, which are nontaxable.

58

---

Interchange fees, other fees and revenue sharing are recognized when earned. Trade finance servicing fees, which primarily include commissions on letters of credit, are generally recognized over the service period on a straight line basis. Card servicing fees include credit and debit card interchange fees and other fees. We have also entered into referral arrangements with recognized U.S.-based card issuers, which permit us to serve our customers and earn referral fees and share interchange revenue without exposure to credit risk.

Our gains and losses on sales of securities are derived from sales from our securities portfolio and are primarily dependent on changes in U.S. Treasury interest rates and asset liability management activities. Generally, as U.S. Treasury rates increase, our securities portfolio decreases in market value, and as U.S. Treasury rates decrease, our securities portfolio increases in value. We also recognize unrealized gains or losses on changes in the valuation of trading securities and marketable equity securities not held for trading.

Our fee income generated on customer interest rate swaps and other loan level derivatives are primarily dependent on volume of transactions completed with customers and are included in noninterest income.

Derivatives unrealized net gains and derivatives unrealized net losses are primarily derived from changes in market value of uncovered interest rate caps with clients.

Other noninterest income includes mortgage banking income and losses generated through our mortgage banking operation comprised of Amerant Mortgage through the early part of the fourth quarter of 2025, and later through the Bank. Other noninterest income also consists of gain on sale of loans, gain on loans market valuation, foreign currency exchange transactions with customers, other fees and smaller sources of income.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expenses generally increase as our business grows and whenever necessary to implement or enhance policies and procedures for regulatory compliance, and other purposes.

Noninterest expense consists of: (i) salaries and employee benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expenses; (iii) professional and other services fees; (iv) FDIC deposit and business insurance assessments and premiums; (v) telecommunication and data processing expenses; (vi) depreciation and amortization; (vii) advertising and marketing expenses; (viii) income or expenses on other real estate and repossessed assets, net; (ix) losses on sale of assets; and (x) other operating expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits include compensation, severance expenses, employee benefits, and employer tax expenses for our personnel. Salaries and employee benefits are partially offset by costs directly related to the origination of loans, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as adjustments to interest income in accordance with GAAP.

Occupancy expenses consist of lease expense on our leased properties, including right-of-use or ROU asset impairment charges, and other occupancy-related expenses. Equipment expense includes furniture, fixtures and equipment related expenses. Rental income associated with subleasing portions of the Company’s headquarters building and the subleasing of the New York office space, primarily, is included as a reduction to rent expense under lease agreements under occupancy and equipment cost.

59

---

Professional and other services fees include the cost of outsourced services, including technology infrastructure, banking processing services and other professional consulting fees from our technology provider; legal; accounting and related consulting fees; card processing fees; directors’ fees; regulatory agency fees; such as OCC examination fees, and other fees related to our business operations.

Advertising expenses include the costs of promoting the Amerant brand, as well as the costs associated with promoting the Company’s products and services to create positive awareness, or consideration to buy the Company’s products and services. These costs include expenses to produce, deliver and communicate advertisements using available media and technologies, primarily streaming and other digital advertising platforms. Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred, except for media production costs which are expensed upon the first airing of the advertisement.

FDIC deposit and business insurance assessments and premiums include deposit insurance, net of any credits applied against these premiums, corporate liability and other business insurance premiums.

Telecommunication and data processing expenses include expenses paid to our third-party data processing system providers and other telecommunication and data service providers.

Depreciation and amortization expense includes the value associated with the depletion of the value on our owned properties and equipment, including leasehold improvements made to our leased properties.

OREO and repossessed assets expense includes expenses and revenue (rental income) from the operation of foreclosed property/assets as well as fair value adjustments and gains/losses from the sale of OREO and repossessed assets.

Other operating expenses include earnings credits, business development expenses, community engagement, charitable contributions, mortgage loan origination and servicing expenses, postage and courier expenses, and other small operational expenses. Earnings credits are provided to certain commercial depositors primarily in the mortgage banking industry to help offset deposit service charges incurred.

Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Financial Condition

The primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our financial condition include asset quality, capital and liquidity.

Asset Quality. We manage the diversification and quality of our assets based upon factors that include the level, distribution and risks in each category of assets. Problem assets may be categorized as classified, delinquent, nonaccrual, nonperforming and restructured assets. We also manage the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses, or the allowance, the diversification and quality of loan and investment portfolios, the extent of counterparty risks, credit risk concentrations and other factors.

We review and update our allowance for expected credit losses periodically to calibrate loss estimation models based on our loan volumes, and credit and economic conditions in our markets. The models may differ among our loan segments to reflect their different asset types, and includes qualitative factors, which are updated periodically based on the type of loan and other factors.

Capital. Financial institution regulators have established minimum capital ratios for banks and bank holding companies. We manage capital based upon factors that include: (i) the level and quality of capital and our overall financial condition; (ii) the trend and volume of problem assets; (iii) the adequacy of reserves; (iv) the level and quality of earnings; (v) the risk exposures in our balance sheet under various scenarios, including stressed conditions; (vi) the Tier 1 capital ratio, the total capital ratio, the Tier 1 leverage ratio, and the CET1 capital ratio; (vii) the tangible equity ratio; and (viii) other factors, including market conditions.

Liquidity. Our deposit base consists primarily of personal and commercial accounts maintained by individuals and businesses in our primary markets and select international core depositors. The Company is focused on relationship-driven core deposits. The Company may also use third party providers of domestic sources of deposits as part of its balance sheet management strategies. We define core deposits as total deposits excluding all time deposits. This definition of core deposits differs from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (the “FFIEC”) Uniform Bank Performance Report (the “UBPR”) definition of “core deposits,” which exclude brokered time deposits and retail time deposits of more than $250,000. See “Core Deposits” discussion for more details.

We manage liquidity based upon factors that include the amount of core deposit relationships as a percentage of total deposits, the level of diversification of our funding sources, the allocation and amount of our deposits among deposit category, the short-term funding sources used to fund assets, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, the availability of assets readily convertible into cash without undue loss, the characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the characteristics of our liabilities and other factors.

Seasonality. Our loan production, generally, is subject to seasonality, with the lowest volume typically in the first quarter of each year.

__________________    

(1)    In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units. See Note 13 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for details on the dilutive effects of the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units on earnings per share.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

In the three months ended September 30, 2026, net income attributable to the Company was $25.7 million, or $0.65 income per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.8 million, or $0.35 income per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2025. The increase of $11.0 million, or 74.3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by: (i) lower noninterest expense; (ii) lower provision for credit losses; and (iii) higher noninterest income. These were partially offset by: (i) lower net interest income; and (ii) higher income tax expense driven by higher pretax net income.

Net interest income was $90.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 3.9%, from $94.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily driven by: (i) a decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the debt securities held for trading portfolio, other short-term investments, the loan portfolio and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases in the average balances of deposits with banks, loans and debt securities held for trading during the period. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by an increase in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period. Additionally, the decrease in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense which was primarily driven by: (i) a decrease in the total average rates of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in the average rates paid on total deposits, FHLB advances, and Junior subordinated debentures; and (ii) a decrease in the average balances of time deposits. Net interest margin decreased to 3.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2026, from 3.92% in the three months ended September 30, 2025. See “Net Interest Income” for more details.

Noninterest income was $18.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $17.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was mainly driven by: (i) the absence of derivative losses; (ii) higher deposits and service fees; (iii) higher brokerage, advisory and fiduciary income; (iv) higher gains on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances; and (v) higher cards and trade finance servicing fees. These were partially offset by decreases in: (i) loan-level derivative income; (ii) securities gains, net; and (iii) other noninterest income. See “Noninterest Income” for more details.

Noninterest expense was $69.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 11.2%, compared to $77.8 million in the same period in 2025. This decrease was mainly due to lower: (i) other operating expenses; (ii) advertising expenses; (iii) OREO and repossessed assets expense; (iv) losses on loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value; and (v) professional and other services fees. These were partially offset by higher: (i) salaries and employee benefits, (ii) occupancy and equipment expenses, and (iii) telecommunication and data processing expenses. See “Noninterest Expense” for more details.

In the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not incur significant noninterest expenses related to Amerant Mortgage. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2.1 million of noninterest expenses. These expenses consisted primarily of salaries and employee benefits, mortgage lending costs, and professional and other service fees in the third quarter of 2025. Amerant Mortgage had no full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) at September 30, 2026 compared to 5 FTEs at September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, Amerant Mortgage has been dissolved and no longer operates as a subsidiary of the Bank.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net income attributable to the Company was $64.6 million, or $1.62 income per diluted share, compared to net income of $49.7 million, or $1.19 income per diluted share, in the same period of 2025. The increase of $14.9 million, or 30.0%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by lower provision for credit losses and lower noninterest expense. These were partially offset by (i) lower net interest income, (ii) lower noninterest income, and (iii) higher income tax expense driven by higher pretax net income.

Net interest income was $253.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $17.2 million, or 6.4%, from $270.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily driven by a decrease of $40.2 million, or 8.9%, in interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $23.0 million or 12.8% in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was driven by: (i) a decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the loan portfolio, debt securities available for sale and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases in the average balances of the loan portfolio, deposits with banks, and debt securities held for trading during the period. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by an increase in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period, as well as a decrease in interest expense which was primarily driven by: (i) a decrease in the average rates paid on total interest-bearing liabilities; and (ii) a decrease in the average balances of time deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average balances of interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts. Net interest margin decreased to 3.62% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from 3.83% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See “Net Interest Income” for more details.

Noninterest income was $53.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to noninterest income of $56.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by: (i) other noninterest income; (ii) loan-level derivative income; and (iii) securities gains, net. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) the absence of derivative losses; (ii) higher brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities; (iii) higher deposits and service fees; (iv) higher gains on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances; and (v) higher change in cash surrender value of BOLI. See “Noninterest Income” for more details.

Noninterest expense was $204.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $18.9 million, or 8.4%, compared to $223.8 million in the same period in 2025. This decrease was mainly due to lower: (i) other operating expenses; (ii) professional and other service fees; (iii) advertising expenses; (iv) OREO and repossessed assets expenses; (v) FDIC assessments and insurance expenses; and (vi) occupancy and equipment expenses. These were partially offset by higher losses on loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value and higher telecommunications and data processing expenses. See “Noninterest Expense” for more details.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred noninterest expenses of $0.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, related to Amerant Mortgage which consists of salaries and employee benefits expense, mortgage lending costs and professional and other services fees. Amerant Mortgage had no full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) at September 30, 2026 compared to five at September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, Amerant Mortgage has been dissolved and no longer operates as a subsidiary of the Bank.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

The Company continued to execute strategic repricing across its deposit products and continued growth in the lower-cost international deposits to offset lower yields on the loan portfolio during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. See discussions further below for more details.

Net interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $90.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 3.9%, from $94.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily driven by a decrease of $11.3 million, or 7.4%, in interest income, offset by a decrease of $7.7 million or 13.1% in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily driven by: (i) a total of 47 basis points decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the debt securities held for trading portfolio, other short-term investments, the loan portfolio and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases of $159.7 million, or 38.6%, $129.5 million, or 1.9%, and $119.4 million or 100.0%, in the average balances of interest earning deposits with banks, loans and debt securities held for trading, respectively, during the period. In addition, there was an increase of $408.0 million, or 20.7%, in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense which was primarily driven by: (i) a decrease of 38 basis points in the total average rates of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in the average rates paid on total deposits, FHLB advances, and Junior subordinated debentures; and (ii) a decrease of $174.9 million, or 8.4%, in the average balances of time deposits. Net interest margin was 3.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease from 3.92% in the three months ended September 30, 2025. See discussions further below for more details.

Interest Income

Total interest income was $141.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $11.3 million, or 7.4%, compared to $152.7 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was driven by: (i) a total of 47 basis points decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the debt securities held for trading portfolio, other short-term investments, the loan portfolio and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases of $159.7 million, or 38.6%, $129.5 million, or 1.9%, and $119.4 million or 100.0%, in the average balances of deposits with banks, loans and debt securities held for trading, respectively, during the period. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $408.0 million, or 20.7%, in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period.

Interest income on loans in the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $109.1 million, a decrease of $12.3 million, or 10.2%, compared to $121.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a 58 basis points decrease in average yields. The decrease in interest income on loans was also due to the decrease in the average balance of the total loan portfolio during the quarter compared to the same period in 2025. See “Average Balance Sheet, Interest and Yield/Rate Analysis” for detailed information.

Interest income on debt securities available for sale was $29.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $4.9 million, or 20.2%, compared to $24.1 million in the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to an increase of $408.0 million, or 20.7%, in the average balance of these securities which were partially offset by a decrease of 1 basis point in average yields. The increase in the average balance was primarily as a result of additional purchases of fixed rate investments in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which were partially offset by sales and paydowns in the same period.

The Company had no debt securities held for trading in the three months ended September 30, 2026, as the entire portfolio was sold during the fourth quarter of 2025. In comparison, the Company had average balances of $119.4 million and interest income of $1.7 million from these securities during the same period of 2025.

In the three months ended September 30, 2026, the average balance of accumulated net unrealized losses included in the carrying value of debt securities were $67.7 million, compared to the average balance of accumulated net unrealized losses of $32.7 million in the same period last year.

As of September 30, 2026, floating rate investments, which are entirely comprised of available for sale debt securities, represent 7.1% of our total investment portfolio compared to 15.4% at September 30, 2025. In addition, the expected overall duration increased to 5.8 years at September 30, 2026 from 4.4 years at September 30, 2025. This increase is attributable to slower projected prepayments speeds as well as a smaller proportion of floating rate investments which carry a lower duration than fixed rate investments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $50.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $7.7 million or 13.1%, compared to $58.6 million in the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to: (i) a decrease of 38 basis points in the total average rates of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in the average rates paid on total deposits, FHLB advances, and Junior subordinated debentures; and (ii) a decrease of $174.9 million, or 8.4%, in the average balances of time deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $184.3 million, or 4.2% in the average balances of interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was $43.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 13.0%, compared to $49.9 million in the same period of 2025. This was mainly driven by a decrease of 40 basis points in the average rates paid on total deposits, partially offset by an increase of $9.4 million, or 0.1%, in their average balance. See below for a detailed explanation of changes by major deposit category:

•Time deposits. Interest expense on total time deposits decreased $4.1 million, or 19.6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly due to a decrease of 49 basis points in the average rates paid on time deposits. In addition, there was a decrease of $174.9 million, or 8.4%, in the average balance of these deposits, which includes a $126.0 million decrease in the average balance of customer CDs, as well as, a $48.9 million decrease in the average balance of brokered time deposits.

•Interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposit accounts. Interest expense on interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposit accounts decreased $2.4 million, or 8.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly due to a net decrease of 31 basis points in the average costs on these deposits. This was partially offset by a net increase of $184.3 million, or 4.19%, in the average balance of these deposits.

Interest expense on advances from the FHLB decreased $1.2 million, or 16.6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a decrease of $91.6 million, or 12.6%, in their average balance, as well as, a decrease of 19 basis points in average rates paid.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Net interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $253.3 million, a decrease of $17.2 million, or 6.4%, from $270.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily driven by a decrease of $40.2 million, or 8.9%, in interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $23.0 million or 12.8% in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily driven by: (i) a total of a 51 basis points decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the loan portfolio, debt securities available for sale and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases of $406.0 million, or 5.7%, $212.6 million, or 42.3%, and $59.9 million, or 99.7% in the average balances of the loan portfolio, deposits with banks, and debt securities held for trading, respectively, during the period. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense which was primarily driven by: (i) a decrease of 41 basis points in the average rates paid on total interest-bearing liabilities; and (ii) a decrease of $181.7 million, or 8.4%, in the average balances of time deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $198.7 million, or 4.6%, in the average balances of interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts. In addition, there was an increase of $595.7 million, or 34.2%, in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period. Net interest margin was 3.62% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 21 basis points from 3.83% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See discussions further below for more details.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had lower average balance of loans and deposit balances with banks compared to the same period last year. The Company was able to reprice its interest-bearing deposits to offset lower average yields on the loan portfolio we recorded during the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same period last year. Additionally, we continued investing in higher-yielding, fixed rate, debt securities available for sale, and maintaining interest-earning funds at the Federal Reserve. See discussions further below for more details.

Interest Income

Total interest income was $410.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $40.2 million, or 8.9%, compared to $450.2 million for the same period of 2025. This was primarily driven by: (i) a total of 51 basis points decrease in the average rates on all interest-earning assets, primarily in the average yields of the loan portfolio, debt securities available for sale and deposits with banks; and (ii) decreases of $406.0 million, or 5.7%, $212.6 million, or 42.3%, and $59.9 million, or 99.7% in the average balances of the loan portfolio, deposits with banks, and debt securities held for trading, respectively, during the period. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $595.7 million, or 34.2%, in the average balances of debt securities available for sale during the period.

Interest income on loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $315.2 million, a decrease of $49.4 million, or 13.5%, compared to $364.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a 57 basis points decrease in the average yields, as well as a decrease in the average balances of the portfolio. See “-Average Balance Sheet, Interest and Yield/Rate Analysis” for detailed information.

Interest income on debt securities available for sale was $84.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $20.1 million, or 31.4%, compared to $64.0 million in the same period of 2025. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average balance of accumulated net unrealized losses included in the carrying value of these securities was $33.9 million compared to $41.0 million in the same period last year.

The Company had no interest income on debt securities held for trading in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $2.0 million during the same period of 2025, as the Company sold the entire debt securities held for trading portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $156.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $23.0 million or 12.8%, compared to $179.7 million in the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to: (i) a decrease of 41 basis points in the average rates paid on total interest-bearing liabilities; and (ii) a decrease of $181.7 million, or 8.4%, in the average balances of time deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $198.7 million, or 4.6%, in the average balances of interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was $132.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $19.9 million, or 13.0%, compared to $152.7 million for the same period of 2025. This was mainly driven by a decrease of 41 basis points in the average rates paid on total deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $17.0 million, or 0.3%, in their average balance. See below for a detailed explanation of changes by major deposit category:

•Time deposits. Interest expense on total time deposits decreased $14.3 million, or 21.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly due to a decrease of 59 basis points in the average cost of total time deposits. In addition, there was a decrease of $181.7 million, or 8.4%, in the average balance of these deposits, which includes a decrease of $112.3 million in the average balance of brokered time deposits, as well as, a decrease of $69.4 million in the average balance of customer CDs.

•Interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposit accounts. Interest expense on interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposit accounts decreased $5.6 million, or 6.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, mainly due to a decrease of 28 basis points in the average costs on these deposits. The decrease was offset by an increase of $198.7 million, or 4.6%, in the average balances of these deposits.

Interest expense on advances from the FHLB decreased $1.9 million, or 8.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease of $36.1 million, or 5.0%, in their average balance and a decrease of 15 basis points in average rates paid.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $8.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $15.3 million in the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was driven by: (i) $12.6 million in specific reserve allocations, (ii) $2.0 million requirements for charge-offs, and (iii) $0.2 million due to loan growth. These increases were partially offset by approximately a $6.0 million decrease due to changes in credit quality and macroeconomic factors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, charge-offs decreased $5.6 million, or 58.9%, compared to the same period last year. In the three months ended September 30, 2026, charge-offs included: (i) approximately $2.1 million related to one large commercial relationship; (ii) $0.5 million related to indirect consumer loans; and (iii) $1.4 million related to other smaller balance loans, including business banking and consumer loans. These charge-offs were partially offset by $1.9 million in recoveries.

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, charge-offs included: (i) $4.1 million related to two commercial loans; (ii) $1.8 million related to several small business commercial loans; (iii) $1.3 million related to one commercial real estate loan; (iv) $1.8 million related to purchased indirect consumer loans; and (v) $0.5 million related to other smaller balance loans, including retail and business banking and consumer loans. This was partially offset by $2.7 million in recoveries.

The ratio of net charge-offs over the average total loan portfolio held for investment was 0.12% in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 0.39% for the same period in 2025.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $21.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $36.0 million in the same period last year. In the first nine months of 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was primarily driven by: (i) approximately $16.5 million net increase in specific reserves, and (ii) $9.2 million additional reserves for charge-offs. These increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease due to changes in credit quality and macroeconomic factors, and a $1.8 million release related to loans held for investment volume changes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, charge-offs decreased $14.9 million, or 44.6%, compared to the same period of the prior year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, charge-offs included: (i) approximately $4.3 million related to a commercial loan participation agreement that was wound down in the prior quarter, with no credit exposure as of September 30, 2026; (ii) $9.3 million related to three commercial relationships, including a $2.2 million unsecured consumer loan associated with one of those relationships; (iii) $2.6 million related to indirect consumer loans; and (iv) $2.4 million related to other smaller- balance business banking and consumer loans. These charge-offs were partially offset by $7.9 million in recoveries.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, charge-offs included: (i) $19.9 million related to five commercial loans; (ii) $6.8 million related to purchased indirect consumer loans; (iii) $4.7 million related to several small business commercial loans; (iv) $1.3 million related to one commercial real estate loan and (v) $0.8 million related to other smaller balance loans, including retail and business banking and consumer loans. This was partially offset by $7.4 million in recoveries.

The ratio of net charge-offs over the average total loan portfolio held for investment was 0.21% in the first nine months of 2026, compared to 0.49% in the first nine months of 2025.

Consistent with the Company’s applicable policy, the Company has requested independent third-party collateral valuations on all real estate securing nonperforming loans with existing valuations older than 12 months and combined outstanding balances in excess of $1.0 million. As of September 30, 2026, there were 4 relationships recently downgraded totaling $8.2 million with appraisals older than 12 months, for which new appraisals have been ordered. No additional provision for credit losses was deemed necessary in both periods as a result of these valuations.

We continue to proactively and carefully monitor the Company’s credit quality practices, including examining and responding to patterns or trends that may arise across certain industries or regions.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Total noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 6.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by: (i) the absence of derivative losses; (ii) higher deposits and service fees; (iii) higher brokerage, advisory and fiduciary income; (iv) higher gains on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances; and (v) higher cards and trade finance servicing fees. These were partially offset by decreases in: (i) loan-level derivative income; (ii) securities gains/losses; and (iii) other noninterest income.

There were no derivative gains or losses in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to having $1.4 million in derivative losses in the same period in 2025, as the Company had no derivative trading activity during the three months ended September 30, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had entered into a TBA MBS derivative contract to mitigate changes in the market valuation of the trading securities held during the period resulting in losses of approximately $1.4 million.

Deposits and service fees increased $1.1 million, or 22.3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the increase in income related to wire transfers as well as service charges on business and personal accounts.

Brokerage, advisory and fiduciary fees increased $0.8 million, or 15.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly driven by higher volume from fixed income trading in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, as well as higher advisory fees resulting from net new assets as well as higher valuations compared to the prior year.

Gain on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances increased $0.6 million, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The Company repaid approximately $407.1 million of advances from the FHLB in the three months ended September 30, 2026, which resulted in these gains.

Cards and trade financing servicing fees increased $0.2 million, or 17.8%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher commissions earned on the issuance of letters of credit.

Loan-level derivative income decreased $1.8 million, or 77.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower volume of transactions with loan customers during the period.

There were net losses on securities in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net gains in the same period in 2025. The change was primarily due to the absence of the valuation gain recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $1.2 million from its trading portfolio, which was subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Other noninterest income decreased $0.1 million, or 12.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the absence of approximately $0.3 million gain on the sale of equipment financing leases recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2025, which was partially offset by the absence of mortgage banking loss due to the wind down of Amerant Mortgage in the same period as well as higher other smaller sources of income in the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Our AUMs totaled $3.4 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $192.3 million, or 5.9%, from $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily driven by net new assets during the period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Total noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, or 4.8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 mainly due to lower: (i) other noninterest income; (ii) loan-level derivative income; and (iii) securities gains. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) absence of derivative losses; (ii) higher brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities; (iii) higher deposits and service fees; (iv) higher gains on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances; and (v) higher change in cash surrender value of BOLI.

There were no derivative gains or losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to having $3.2 million in derivative losses in the same period in 2025, as the Company had no derivative trading activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had entered into a TBA MBS derivative contract to mitigate changes in the market valuation of the trading securities held during the period resulting in losses of approximately $3.2 million.

Other noninterest income decreased by $4.4 million or 55.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to: (i) a decrease of approximately $2.8 million on gain on sale of loans; and (ii) the absence of $0.9 million in mortgage banking income related to Amerant Mortgage in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Loan-level derivative income decreased $3.8 million, or 54.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, mainly driven by lower volume of transactions with loan customers during the period.

Securities gains decreased $2.1 million, or 70.5% , compared to the same period in 2025. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company realized approximately $0.9 million in gains on the sale of debt securities available for sale, compared to a valuation gain of approximately $3.0 million from its trading portfolio, which was subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Brokerage, advisory and fiduciary fees increased $2.1 million, or 14.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly driven by higher fees from fixed income trading, commissions in connection with the Company’s Senior notes offering as well as higher advisory fees. These increases were partially offset by lower trust management fees during the period.

Deposits and service fees increased $1.3 million, or 8.7%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This was primarily driven by increase in commissions income for wire transfers and other smaller deposit fees during the period.

Gain on the early extinguishment of FHLB advances increased $0.7 million, compared to the same period in 2025. The Company repaid $417.0 million of advances from the FHLB during the period, which resulted in these gains.

Changes in cash surrender value of BOLI increased $0.4 million, or 5.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher yields on all policies driven by reinvestments on general accounts.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Noninterest expense decreased $8.7 million, or 11.2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, mainly due to lower: (i) other operating expenses; (ii) advertising expenses; (iii) OREO and repossessed assets income; (iv) releases on loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value; and (v) professional and other services fees. These were partially offset by higher: (i) salaries and employee benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expenses; and (iii) telecommunication and data processing expenses.

Other operating expenses decreased $6.7 million, or 72.8%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period a year ago, mainly driven by: (i) the absence of the $3.5 million in earnings credits we had in the three months ended September 30, 2025; (ii) a decrease of $1.8 million in loan-level derivative expenses;(iii) a decrease of $0.7 million in indirect loan origination costs and mortgage loan servicing and origination expenses; (iv) a decrease of $0.4 million in charitable contributions; and (v) a decrease of $0.3 million in other smaller operating expenses.

Certain mortgage banking expenses related to Amerant Mortgage were a component of other operating expenses and primarily consisted of mortgage lending costs and professional and other services fees. Mortgage banking expenses within other operating expenses were not significant in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year. This was a reflection of the Company’s wind-down of Amerant Mortgage’s operations.

Advertising expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 40.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year mainly driven by lower advertising expenses associated with various strategic optimization and cost-saving initiatives.

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 708.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. In the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company sold one of the two units of an OREO commercial real estate property and recorded a loss on sale of approximately $1.3 million. In addition, the Company recorded other OREO expenses of approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026. These results were offset by a $2.6 million valuation gain on a recent appraisal of the remaining unit of the property and OREO income of $0.5 million, both of which were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2026. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $0.5 million valuation allowance on an OREO property and other OREO expenses of approximately $0.2 million, which were partially offset by $0.5 million in OREO rental income.

Losses on loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value decreased $0.9 million, or 107.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. In the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not incur significant losses on the transfer of loans held for sale during the quarter and no significant valuation adjustments on existing loans held for sale. In comparison, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $0.9 million on the sale of one substandard owner-occupied loan.

Professional and other services fees decreased $0.7 million, or 4.6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. This was mainly driven by decreases in consulting fees, as well as legal fees in connection with various projects.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.8 million, or 5.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year mainly driven by higher variable compensation driven by improved results, as well as, higher regular salaries.

82

---

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $0.7 million, or 13.2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year mainly driven by lower sublease income recognized during the period which resulted in a smaller offset to other occupancy and equipment related expenses.

Telecommunications and data processing increased $0.3 million, or 8.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. This was mainly driven by an increase in computer expenses.

83

---

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Noninterest expense decreased by $18.9 million, or 8.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, mainly due to lower: (i) other operating expenses; (ii) professional and other service fees; (iii) advertising expenses; (iv) OREO and repossessed assets expenses; (v) FDIC assessments and insurance expenses; and (vi) occupancy and equipment expenses. These were partially offset by higher losses on loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value and higher telecommunications and data processing expenses.

Other operating expenses decreased $10.3 million, or 48.9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to: (i) the absence of $6.9 million in earnings credits in the same period last year; (ii) a decrease of approximately $2.2 million in indirect loan origination costs and mortgage loan origination and servicing expenses; (iii) a decrease of $2.2 million in loan-level derivative expenses; (iv) a net decrease of approximately $0.5 million in other smaller operating expenses; and (v) a decrease of $0.2 million in charitable contributions. These were partially offset by an increase of approximately $1.8 million in write-down of an equity investment carried at cost.

Mortgage banking expenses included within other operating expenses were $0.3 million during the first nine months of 2026, compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year as the dissolution of Amerant Mortgage was completed during the third quarter of 2026.

Professional and other services fees decreased by $4.5 million, or 10.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. This was mainly driven by a decrease in fees related to our technology provider as a result of savings achieved from vendor contract renegotiations, and a combined net decrease in other vendor fees.

Advertising expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 22.9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year, mainly driven by lower advertising expenses associated with various strategic optimization and cost-saving initiatives.

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses decreased by $2.8 million, or 283.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company sold one of the two units of an OREO commercial real estate property and recorded a loss on sale of approximately $1.3 million. In addition, the Company recorded other OREO expenses of $0.9 million in the first nine months of 2026. These results were offset by a $2.6 million valuation gain on a recent appraisal of the remaining unit of the property, and OREO income of $1.5 million, both of which were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $2.4 million of OREO valuation allowances and other OREO expenses of approximately $0.7 million. These were partially offset by $1.6 million in OREO rental income and approximately $0.5 million in net gains on sale of two OREO properties.

FDIC assessments and insurance expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 7.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year mainly due to having lower average assets this period compared to last year resulting in lower FDIC assessments.

Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 3.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period one year ago primarily due to lower equipment expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period one year ago, mainly driven by lower severance expenses and lower sign-on bonuses and bonus commissions. These were partially offset by higher regular salaries and variable compensation driven by improved results.

The table below sets forth information related to our income taxes for the periods presented.

			Three Months Ended September 30,									Change												Nine Months Ended September 30,												Change
			2026						2025			2026 vs 2025												2026						2025						2026 vs 2025
(in thousands, except effective tax rates and percentages)
Income before income tax expense			$	33,505					$	19,008		$	14,497					76.3		%				$	83,558					$	64,234					$	19,324					30.1		%

In the third quarter of 2026, income tax expense increased to $7.8 million from $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, mainly driven by higher income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, income tax expense increased to $18.9 million from $14.5 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by higher income before income taxes in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same period last year.

This was primarily driven by an increase of $39.9 million in connection with $156.5 million in net unrealized holding losses on debt securities available for sale and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the allowance for credit losses and other smaller components during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company supplements its financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with non-GAAP financial measures, such as “pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)”, "tangible common equity ratio", and “tangible stockholders’ equity (book value) per common share”. This supplemental information is not required by, or is not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company refers to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures”.

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those mentioned above, both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our business. Management believes that these supplementary non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, this information should be considered as supplemental and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company reviewed and updated its use of non‑GAAP financial measures and now presents a limited set of metrics that management uses to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. As part of this update, the Company discontinued the presentation of “Core PPNR”, “core noninterest income”, and “core noninterest expense”, as management determined these measures are no longer primary metrics used internally. This change does not reflect any change in the Company’s underlying business, operations, or GAAP financial results.

The following tables set forth selected financial information derived from the Company’s interim unaudited and annual audited consolidated financial statements, adjusted for certain items, including the provision for credit losses, income taxes and goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company believes these adjusted numbers are useful to understand the Company’s performance and underlying trends.

Financial Condition - Comparison of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025

Assets. Total assets were $10.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $434.6 million, or 4.4%, compared to $9.8 billion at December 31, 2025. This result was primarily driven by increases of: (i) $360.6 million, or 5.4%, in total loans held for investment and loans held for sale, net of the ACL; (ii) $141.1 million, or 6.8%, in total securities, mainly debt securities available for sale and (iii) deferred tax assets of $42.6 million, or 119.6%, resulting primarily from higher unrealized valuation losses of securities available for sale as a result of changes in market interest rates. The increases were partially offset primarily by a decrease of $108.7 million, or 23.1%, in cash and cash equivalents. See “-Average Balance Sheet, Interest and Yield/Rate Analysis” for detailed information, including changes in the composition of our interest-earning assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $361.5 million at September 30, 2026 from $470.2 million at December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest earning cash balances which were placed in higher-yielding assets.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, interest earning deposits with banks, mainly cash balances held at the Federal Reserve, were $299.7 million and $409.4 million, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included restricted cash of $28.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively, which was held primarily to cover margin calls on derivative transactions with certain brokers. Furthermore, at December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included other short-term investments of $7.2 million, consisting of US Treasury Bills that mature in 90 days or less. At September 30, 2026, the Company had no such other short-term investments included in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities were $107.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, mainly driven by: (i) net income of $64.6 million; (ii) net increase of $23.7 million in operating assets and liability; (iii) a non-cash adjustment of $18.8 million for the provision for credit losses; and (iv) net sales of $2.6 million in mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. These results include a net decrease of $1.9 million in other non-cash adjustments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $678.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, mainly driven by: (i) purchases of securities totaling $822.0 million, mainly comprised of debt securities available for sale, and (ii) a net increase in loans originated for investment of $605.9 million. These disbursements were partially offset by: (i) maturities, sales, calls and paydowns of investment securities totaling $525.4 million, (ii) proceeds from the sale of loans originated for investment of $218.9 million, and proceeds from the sale of other real estate owned of $6.7 million.

88

---

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $461.8 million, mainly due to: (i) proceeds from FHLB advances of $620.0 million, (ii) a net increase in total demand, savings and money market deposit balances of $527.6 million, and (iii) issuance of Senior Notes, net of issuance costs of $48.4 million. This was partially offset by: (i) repayments of FHLB advances of $617.0 million, (ii) a net decrease of $68.8 million in time deposits; (iii) an aggregate of $37.1 million of Class A common stock repurchased, and (iv) $10.9 million of dividends declared and paid by the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. See “-Capital Resources and Liquidity Management” for more details on changes in FHLB advances and common stock transactions in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

(1)As of September 30, 2026, there were no non-accrual loans categorized held for sale. As of December 31, 2025, there were two non-accrual loans with an outstanding balance of $16.2 million which includes $3.2 million categorized as 60-89 days past due and $13.0 million as greater than 90 days past due as of December 31, 2025.

As of September 30, 2026, total loans held for investment were $7.0 billion, up $363.5 million, or 5.5%, compared to $6.6 billion at December 31, 2025. This reflects net increases of (i)$644.5 million, or 42.5%, in single-family residential loans and (ii)$210.9 million, or 14.6%, in commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by net decreases of (i) $258.7 million, or 10.6%, in CRE loans; (ii) $99.1 million, or 66.7%, in loans to financial institutions and acceptances, primarily due to scheduled maturities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026; (iii) $98.6 million, or 12.2%, in owner occupied loans; and (iv) $35.5 million, or 14.5%, in consumer loans. The increases include loan purchases totaling $736.6 million in single family residential loans and $210.5 million in commercial syndicated loans. The net decreases in CRE and owner occupied loans and the net increase in single-family residential loans include decreases of $202.8 million, $13.0 million, and $16.8 million, respectively, in loans transferred from held for investment to held for sale, at the lower of cost or fair value. The decrease in consumer loans was mainly attributable to lower balances in indirect consumer loans, as we discontinued purchases of these loans and the portfolio continues to run off over time.

As of September 30, 2026, loans held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value were $95.8 million, up $14.9 million, or 18.5%, compared to $80.9 million at December 31, 2025. The increase is principally due to $232.6 million in loans transferred from loans held for investment to held for sale, at the lower of cost or fair value, including $202.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $13.0 million in owner occupied loans, and $16.8 million in residential loans. This was partially offset by decreases from: (i) loan sales of $167.7 million in real estate loans, (ii) loan payoffs and paydowns of $47.1 million, primarily in connection with two loans, and (iii) a market valuation allowance adjustment, net of releases of $2.9 million.

As of September 30, 2026, loans under syndication facilities, included in loans held for investment, were $736.4 million, an increase of $301.5 million, or 69.3%, compared to $434.9 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the purchase of $210.5 million of commercial syndicated loans, partially offset by the transfer of two loans totaling $52.9 million to held for sale. In addition, there were net increases of $94.3 million and $49.6 million in club deals and Shared National Credit (“SNC”) facilities, respectively. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no SNC loans that financed highly leveraged transactions. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans under syndication facilities held for investment include SNCs of $313.6 and $53.5 million, respectively.

Loan Quality

Allocation of Allowance for Credit Losses

In the following table, we present the allocation of the ACL by loan segment at the end of the periods presented. The amounts shown in this table should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts or percentages. These amounts represent our best estimates of expected credit losses to be collected throughout the life of the loans, at the reported dates, derived from historical events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts at the dates reported. Our allowance for credit losses is established using estimates and judgments, which consider the views of our regulators in their periodic examinations. Re-evaluation of the ACL estimate in future periods, in light of changes in composition and characteristics of the loan portfolio, changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast and other factors then prevailing may result in material changes in the amount of the ACL and credit loss expense in those future periods. We also show the percentage of each loan class, which includes loans in nonaccrual status.

(1)    Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing.

The decrease in nonperforming assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to $76.4 million in collections, $33.2 million loan sales, and $18.6 million in charge-offs. These results were partially offset by: (i) the downgrade of 15 loan relationships totaling $67.0 million, that included a combination of CRE, owner-occupied, commercial and residential loans; and (ii) $41.1 million of smaller balance loans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company sold one of two units of a commercial real estate property classified as other real estate owned, with a carrying value of $8.1 million, resulting in a loss of $1.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded a valuation gain of $2.6 million based on a recent appraisal of the remaining unit of the property.

In October 2026, the Company collected $5.0 million upon the full payoff of a loan that had been classified as “substandard” and placed in non-accrual as of September 30, 2026.

Non-performing loans are generally rated Classified. See discussion on Classified and Special Mention Loans below for more details, including details about new loans downgraded during period.

We recognized no interest income on nonaccrual loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Classified loans decreased $141.8 million, or 40.0%, primarily due to loan sales and payoffs totaling $105.2 million and $164.1 million, respectively, and $18.6 million in charge-offs. These results were partially offset by downgrades totaling $146.9 million, including: i) one $35.2 million non‑depository financial institution loan in accrual status secured by underlying CRE collateral which was later paid off; (ii) seven commercial relationships totaling $29.3 million; (iii) six owner-occupied relationships totaling $33.8 million; (iv) one $16.8 million single‑family residential loan in non-accrual status which was later sold; (v) two CRE loan totaling $6.9 million; and (vi) $41.6 million related to other smaller loans.

Composition of Classified Loans at September 30, 2026

As of September 30, 2026, classified loans had the following composition: (i) $90.4 million had real estate collateral with a weighted‑average loan‑to‑value ratio of 68.4%; (ii) $81.1 million of cash‑flow‑dependent loans; (iii) $17.2 million of collateral‑dependent loans other than real estate, primarily asset‑based lending; and (iv) $24.3 million of loans collectively evaluated for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses.

Special Mention Loans.

The following table presents the activity of special mention loans by type of loan in the nine months ended September 30, 2026:

Balances at end of period			$	111,701		$	2,500		$	4,964		$	1,555		$	—		$	—		$	120,720

All special mention loans remained current at September 30, 2026.

The decrease in Special Mention loans was primarily driven by upgrades to Pass totaling $67.3 million, primarily related to two commercial relationships based on year-end financial information received. Additionally, there were loan payoffs and paydowns totaling $26.5 million mainly related to one CRE loan, and $10.1 million downgraded to classified. The Company also sold a loan totaling $30.9 million and recorded valuation allowances of $1.3 million. These were partially offset by downgrades to Special Mention totaling $120.4 million mainly real estate secured loans.

Potential problem loans, which are accruing loans classified as substandard and are less than 90 days past due, at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are as follows:

(in thousands)			September 30, 2026						December 31, 2025

At September 30, 2026 total potential problem loans decreased by $120.7 million, or 64.7%, compared to $186.7 million at December 31, 2025. This was primarily driven by a reduction of approximately $177.3 million from loan sales and loan payoffs, as well as a $14.9 million decrease resulting from loans moving to non‑accrual status and related balance reductions. These improvements were partially offset by an increase of $71.5 million in potential problem loans attributable to loan downgrades.

(1) In 2023, the Company purchased an investment in an open-end fund incorporated in the U.S. with an original cost of $2.5 million. The Fund’s objective is to provide a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and investments deemed to be qualified under the Community Reinvestment Act.

(2)    Includes investments in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock. Amounts correspond to original cost at the date presented. Original cost approximates fair value because of the nature of these investments.

As of September 30, 2026, total securities increased $141.1 million, or 6.8%, to $2.2 billion compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was mainly driven by purchases of $822.0 million, consisting mainly of fixed-rate debt securities available for sale. This increase was partially offset by (i) maturities, sales, calls and pay downs, totaling $525.4 million of debt securities available for sale and FHLB stock and (ii) net pre-tax unrealized losses of $156.5 million on debt securities available for sale primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates during the current period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company purchased $217.5 million of U.S. treasury bills and Treasury notes and sold $200 million of U.S. treasury bills. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s U.S. treasury securities portfolio consists solely of Treasury notes, including approximately $1.0 million with maturities of more than 90 days and less than one year and $18.7 million with longer-term maturity. These purchases reflect the Company’s efforts of improving net interest income and actively managing its expected liquidity requirements.

Debt securities available for sale had net unrealized holding losses of $158.7 million at September 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025 when net unrealized holding losses were $23.9 million and net unrealized holding gains were $21.7 million. Higher market interest rates during the third quarter and year to date reduced the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio and tangible common equity and increased unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Higher rates also extended the expected duration of mortgage-backed securities as projected prepayments slowed. The Company continues to maintain sufficient liquidity and funding capacity, including the ability to pledge securities in the portfolio as collateral for additional borrowings, if needed, and does not expect to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. The Company believes these securities are not credit-impaired because the change in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and investment securities markets, generally, and not credit quality. As a result, the Company did not record an ACL on these securities as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The following tables set forth the book value, scheduled maturities and weighted average yields for our securities portfolio at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Similar to the table above, the book value for securities available for sale, trading securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair value not held for trading is equal to fair market value.

The investment portfolio’s weighted expected average effective duration increased to 5.8 years at September 30, 2026 compared to 4.4 years at December 31, 2025, mainly due to higher market rates which decreased modeled prepayment expectations of the debt securities available for sale portfolio.

Liabilities

Total liabilities were $9.4 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $532.6 million, or 6.0%, compared to $8.8 billion at December 31, 2025. This was primarily driven by increases of: (i) $458.7 million, or 5.9%, in total deposits, mainly due to an increase in core deposits; (ii) $48.4 million from new senior debt issued in the third quarter of 2026; and (iii) $25.9 million, or 20.2%, in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities, primarily due to an increase in cash collateral liabilities associated with swap contracts. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $3.5 million, or 3.0%, in operating lease liability. See “Deposits” and “Capital Resources and Liquidity Management” for more details on the changes in advances from the FHLB and total deposits.

Deposits

The growth in deposits during the first nine months of 2026, particularly in lower-cost and non-interest bearing deposits, reflects the Company’s ongoing efforts to expand its international deposit franchise and deepen longstanding client relationships, together with the benefits the Company believes it derives from its differentiated, relationship-driven business model. As a result of improved economic activity in Venezuela in the first nine months of 2026 supported, in part, by U.S.-related business activity, the Company experienced significant growth in international deposits, particularly from Venezuelan customers, reflecting the successful execution of its strategy and approach to developing and deepening its international deposit relationships. The Company continues to view this business as a meaningful growth opportunity, especially in Venezuela, where the Company believes it has high brand recognition, and longstanding relationships with local financial institutions, commercial clients and private banking customers.

During the first nine months of 2026, deposits from Venezuelan customers increased to $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2026, compared to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2025. These are primarily operating deposits primarily tied to essential processes in the banking and oil industries, which the Company is able to service through established banking channels and supported by our existing compliance, due diligence, and relationship management framework. Our efforts also included building solid customer relationship teams across our business development areas in South Florida and Tampa in the first nine months of 2026.

Total deposits were $8.2 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $0.5 billion, or 5.9%, compared to $7.8 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was mainly due to increases of: (i) $508.6 million, or 32.3%, in noninterest bearing demand deposits and (ii) $19.0 million, or 0.5%, in interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $68.8 million, or 3.4%, in time deposits. During the quarter of 2026, we migrated approximately $270.0 million in low-cost interest-bearing deposits to noninterest-bearing demand deposits without affecting client retention. This migration provides a clearer view of the strength of our noninterest-bearing deposit base and the underlying value of these stable relationships.

The $68.8 million, or 3.4%, net decrease in time deposits includes a decrease of $130.6 million, or 8.4% in customer CDs, which was partially offset by an increase of $61.8 million or 14.2%, in brokered time deposits. As of September 30, 2026 total brokered deposits, which are all domestic deposits, were $497.4 million, compared to $435.7 million at December 31, 2025.

CDARS and ICS reciprocal deposits are offered through the Company’s participation in the IntraFi Network. The network facilitates the placement of customer funds into certificates of deposit, demand deposit, or money market accounts issued by other member banks in increments of less than $250,000. This structure enables customers to receive full FDIC insurance coverage on large balances while the Company retains the relationship. In exchange, the Company accepts reciprocal deposits from other network banks, maintaining overall deposit levels. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, reciprocal deposits in the Intrafi Network amounted to $1.0 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively.

103

---

We use non-reciprocal deposit placement services through the IntraFi Network. These arrangements allow us to place excess customer deposits to other network participants while maintaining the customer relationship. Under these non-reciprocal placement transactions, customer deposit funds are transferred to other participating institutions. As a result, these deposits are excluded from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, we placed approximately $162.6 million of deposits to other participating institutions. There were no placements of non-reciprocal deposits as of September 30, 2026.

_________________

(1)    Based upon the diligence we customarily perform to "know our customers" for anti-money laundering, OFAC and sanctions purposes, we believe that the U.S. economic embargo on certain Venezuelan persons will not adversely affect our Venezuelan customer relationships, generally.

Domestic deposits decreased by $134.9 million, or 2.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily driven by decreases of: (i) $144.8 million in non-interest bearing deposits; and (ii) $98.5 million in customer time deposits. These decreases were partially offset by increases of: (i) $46.6 million in interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits; and (ii) $61.8 million in brokered time deposits. The decrease was primarily driven by lower balances from large domestic commercial fund providers and was partially offset by higher balances in Private Banking deposits.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total foreign deposits increased $593.6 million, or 22.7%, primarily driven by an increase of $653.2 million in non-interest-bearing deposits. The increase in non-interest bearing deposits included a migration of approximately $270.0 million of low-cost interest-bearing deposits to noninterest-bearing demand deposits during the third quarter of 2026, as well as growth in balances from international large fund providers. The increase was partially offset by decreases of (i) $32.1 million in customer time deposits, and (ii) $27.5 million in interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits. Also, as part of our strategic diversification efforts, while deposits from customers domiciled in Venezuela increased $484.1 million, or 25.3%, deposits from countries other than Venezuela also increased $109.5 million, or 15.5%, which demonstrates the value of our international customer relationships.

Core Deposits

Our core deposits were $6.3 billion and $5.8 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and represented 76.6% and 74.4% of our total deposits at those dates, respectively. The increase of $527.6 million, or 9.1%, in core deposits in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was mainly driven by the increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits, as well as an increase in interest bearing deposits. The increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits is largely driven by the increase in foreign deposits, primarily Venezuela and the migration of approximately $270.0 million in low-cost interest bearing deposits to noninterest bearing demand deposits, part of the Company’s effort to optimize its deposit base without affecting client retention.

We define “core deposits” as total deposits excluding all time deposits.

Brokered Deposits

We utilize brokered deposits primarily as an asset and liability management tool. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, brokered deposits, consisting primarily of time deposits, were $497.4 million and $435.7 million, respectively, and represented 6.0% and 5.6% of total deposits as of the respective reporting dates. The Company has not historically sold brokered CDs in individual denominations over $100,000.

Large Fund Providers

Large fund providers consist of third party relationships with balances over $20 million. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our large fund providers included 29 and 20, respectively, deposit relationships with total balances of $1.1 billion and 962.3 million, respectively. The increase in balances from large fund providers in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was mainly driven by international customer deposits and included large operating deposits primarily tied to customer relationships in essential processes in the country’s banking and oil industries.

Large Time Deposits by Maturity

The following table sets forth the maturities of our time deposits with individual balances equal to or greater than $100,000 as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Total			$	1,179,340					100.0		%				$1,296,234						100.0		%

Short-Term Borrowings

In addition to deposits, we use short-term borrowings from time to time, such as advances from the FHLB and borrowings from other banks, as a source of funds to meet the daily liquidity needs of our customers and fund growth in earning assets. Short-term borrowings have maturities of 12 months or less as of the reported period-end.

All of the Company’s short-term borrowings at September 30, 2026 corresponded to FHLB advances. There were no other borrowings or repurchase agreements outstanding at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

__________________

(1)In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units. See Note 13 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for details on the dilutive effects of the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units on earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, basic and diluted earnings per share increased compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher net income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, basic and diluted earnings per share increased compared to the same period one year ago, primarily driven by improved net income in the current period compared to the same period last year.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, if any, and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (AOCI/AOCL) caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on debt securities available for sale and derivative instruments. AOCI or AOCL are not included in stockholders’ equity for purposes of determining our capital for bank regulatory purposes.

Total stockholders’ equity was $840.8 million as of September 30, 2026, a decrease of $98.0 million, or 10.4%, compared to $938.8 million as of December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by: (i) an aggregate of $37.1 million of Class A common stock repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2026; (ii) $10.9 million of dividends declared and paid by the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and (iii) $118.0 million of other comprehensive loss, mainly due to net unrealized holding losses on debt securities available for sale. This was partially offset by net income of $64.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

107

---

Common Stock Transactions

In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 70,592 and 1,620,085 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted average price of $28.47 and $22.71 per share, respectively, including transaction costs. The aggregate purchase price for these transactions was $2.0 million and $37.1 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, including certain transaction costs. See Note 1 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more details on the Stock Repurchase Program.

Liquidity Management

We manage our liquidity based on several factors that include the amount of core deposit relationships as a percentage of total deposits, the level of diversification of our funding sources, the allocation and amount of our deposits among deposit types, the short-term funding sources used to fund assets, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, the availability of assets readily convertible into cash without undue loss, the characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the characteristics of our liabilities and other factors.

Liquidity risk management is a relevant element of our asset/liability management. Our contingency funding plan is constantly monitored by our Assets and Liabilities Committee and serves as the basis to identify our liquidity needs. The contingency funding plan models several liquidity stress scenarios to evaluate different potential liquidity outflows or funding gaps resulting from economic disruptions and volatility in the financial markets, among other factors.

Customer deposits have been our principal source of funding, supplemented by our investment securities portfolio, our short-term and long-term borrowings as well as loan repayments and amortizations. The Company’s liquidity position includes cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $361.5 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $470.2 million at December 31, 2025.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $0.7 billion of outstanding advances from the FHLB. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an additional $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, of remaining borrowing capacity with the FHLB. This additional borrowing capacity is determined by the FHLB. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 the Company borrowed $620.0 million from the FHLB and repaid $617.0 million of FHLB advances. The Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million as a result of the early repayment of certain FHLB advances. The Company may repay advances from the FHLB prior to their stated maturity as part of the Company’s asset and liability management strategies.

108

---

There were no other borrowings as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

We also have available uncommitted federal funds lines with several banks. We had no outstanding borrowings under uncommitted federal funds lines with banks at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Holding Company

We are a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, must provide for our own liquidity. Historically, our main source of funding has been dividends declared and paid to us by the Bank. The Company is the obligor and guarantor on our junior subordinated debt, the Subordinated Notes and the newly issued senior notes.

On September 17, 2026, the Company issued $50.0 million of senior notes due 2031. The net proceeds will be used to enhance holding company liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility to support capital management activities and strategic growth initiatives. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Company, as a separate stand-alone entity, held cash and cash equivalents mainly at the Bank totaling $68.0 million as of September 30, 2026 and $17.5 million as of December 31, 2025 in funds available to service its outstanding debt agreements and for general corporate purposes.

Subsidiary Dividends

There are statutory and regulatory limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. These limitations exclude the effects of AOCI/AOCL. Management believes that these limitations will not affect the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations. See “Supervision and Regulation” in the 2025 Form 10-K.

On April 22, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $15.0 million by the Bank to the Company. The Company received this dividend on April 30, 2026.

On July 23, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $20.0 million by the Bank to the Company. The Company received this dividend on July 28, 2026.

On October 21, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $25.0 million by the Bank to the Company which was paid in October 2026.

Based on our current outlook, we believe that net income, advances from the FHLB, available other borrowings and any dividends paid to us by the Bank will be sufficient to fund liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The following table shows the outstanding balance of financial instruments whose contracts represent off-balance sheet credit risk as of the end of the periods presented. Except as disclosed below, we are not involved in any other off-balance sheet contractual relationships that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, a change in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. For more details on the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

(in thousands)			September 30, 2026						December 31, 2025
Commitments to extend credit			$	1,327,634					$	1,605,254
Standby letters of credit			181,927						179,288
			$	1,509,561					$	1,784,542

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries enter into various contractual obligations that may require future cash payments. Significant commitments for future cash obligations include capital expenditures related to operating leases, certain binding agreements we have entered into for services including outsourcing of technology services as well as loan purchases, advertising and other services, and other borrowing arrangements which are not material to our liquidity needs. We currently anticipate that our available funds, credit facilities, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs for the foreseeable future. Other than the changes discussed herein, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company borrowed advances from the FHLB totaling $620.0 million and repaid a total of $617.0 million of outstanding advances. Repayments include $417.0 million of advances that were terminated prior to their original maturities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total time deposits decreased by $68.8 million, or 3.4%. See “Deposits” for additional information.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We believe interest rate and price risks are the most significant market risks impacting us. We monitor and evaluate these risks using sensitivity analyses to measure the effects on earnings, equity and the available for sale portfolio mark-to-market exposure, of changes in market interest rates. Exposures are managed to a set of limits previously approved by our Board of Directors and monitored by management. See discussions below for material changes in our market risk exposure as compared to those discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.

Earnings Sensitivity

The following table shows the sensitivity of our net interest income as a function of modeled interest rate changes:

			Change in earnings (1)
			September 30,												December 31,
(in thousands, except percentages)			2026												2025
Change in Interest Rates (Basis points)
Increase of 200			$	1,218					0.3		%				$	29,555					9.2		%
Increase of 100			2,256						0.6		%				23,330						7.3		%
Decrease of 100			(3,400)						(1.0)		%				(14,970)						(4.7)		%
Decrease of 200			(5,556)						(1.6)		%				(32,418)						(10.1)		%

__________________

(1) Represents the change in net interest income, and the percentage that change represents of the base scenario net interest income. The base scenario assumes (i) flat interest rates over the next 12 months, (ii) that total financial instrument balances are kept constant over time and (iii) that interest rate shocks are instant and parallel to the yield curve, for the various interest rates and indices that affect our net interest income.

Annual net interest income in the base scenario as of September 30, 2026 increased to approximately $354.0 million compared to $320.0 million as of December 31, 2025. This increase is mainly driven by higher interest income on loans, as well as higher income on debt securities available for sale. This was offset by a decrease in cash balances held at the Federal Reserve.

The Company periodically reviews the scenarios used for earnings sensitivity to reflect market conditions.

Economic Value of Equity (EVE) Analysis

The following table shows the sensitivity of our EVE as a function of interest rate changes as of the periods presented:

			Change in equity (1)
			September 30,						December 31,
			2026						2025
Change in Interest Rates (Basis points)
Increase of 200			(10.43)		%				(13.32)		%
Increase of 100			(4.78)		%				(3.90)		%
Decrease of 100			2.77		%				1.79		%
Decrease of 200			3.26		%				(0.67)		%

__________________

(1) Represents the percentage of equity change in a static balance sheet analysis assuming interest rate shocks are instant and parallel to the yield curves for the various interest rates and indices that affect our net interest income.

During the periods reported, the modeled effects on the EVE remained within established Company risk limits.

Available for Sale Portfolio mark-to-market exposure

The Company measures the potential change in the market price of its investment portfolio, and the resulting potential change on its equity for different interest rate scenarios. This table shows the result of this test as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

			Change in market value (1)
			September 30,						December 31,
(in thousands)			2026						2025
Change in Interest Rates
(Basis points)
Increase of 200			$	(255,186)					$	(206,181)
Increase of 100			(127,920)						(97,431)
Decrease of 100			121,718						64,457
Decrease of 200			217,292						99,370

__________________

(1) Represents the amounts by which the investment portfolio mark-to-market would change assuming rate shocks are instant and parallel to the yield curves for the various interest rates and indices that affect our net interest income.

The estimated average effective duration of our investment portfolio increased to 5.8 years at September 30, 2026 compared to 4.4 years at December 31, 2025, due to an extension in the average life of the existing portfolio resulting from higher long-term interest rates.

Additionally, the floating rate portfolio decreased to 7.1% at September 30, 2026 from 10.3% at December 31, 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The CEO and the CFO, with assistance from other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026, and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
