MERIDIAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Corporation’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for credit losses, lending related commitments and the related unfunded commitment reserve, the fair value of financial instruments, and the valuations of goodwill, intangible assets, and servicing assets.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s filings with the SEC (including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025), subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K that update or provide information in addition to the information included in Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, if any.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other period.
Income Taxes
During the third quarter of 2026, the Bank purchased transferrable federal renewable energy tax credits with a face amount of $10.0 million. The transaction was undertaken to generate economic benefit through the utilization of purchased tax credits. The transaction reduced the Corporation's income tax expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 by approximately $600 thousand.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements Adopted as of September 30, 2026:
The following pronouncements were adopted in 2026, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2024-04, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)"
The amendments in the ASU clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Pronouncements Not Yet Effective as of September 30, 2026:
FASB ASU No. 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative".
This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the ASC. The amendments are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC's regulations. For entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosure requirements the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity.
FASB ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)"
This amendment requires enhanced disaggregation of certain expense categories within the income statement to provide more detailed information about the nature and function of expenses. The objective is to improve the transparency and usefulness of financial statements for users by offering greater insight into the components of operating expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. These changes may be applied prospectively or retroactively. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date"
This amendment addresses questions that were raised regarding the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for public business entities with non-calendar year ends. The amendment clarifies that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).”
This update modernizes internal-use software guidance to apply regardless of the method used to develop software. The amendment will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract”
This update refines the scope of Topic 815 to clarify which contracts are subject to derivative accounting and clarifies guidance under Topic 606 for share-based noncash consideration from a customer in revenue contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans”.
This ASU changes the accounting for certain acquired loans by requiring entities to apply a “gross-up” approach at acquisition for purchased seasoned loans, recognizing an allowance for credit losses as part of the acquisition accounting rather than through a post-acquisition provision. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date. The ASU will be effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements".
This ASU aligns hedge accounting more closely with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. It addresses issues intended to enable financial statements to better reflect certain hedging strategies by allowing entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for a greater number of highly effective economic hedges. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements.”
This ASU clarifies when Topic 270 applies and enhances usability by (among other changes) specifying the form/content of interim financial statements, providing a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introducing a disclosure principle for material events since the last annual period-without intending to significantly expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements.”
This ASU is part of the FASB's standing "evergreen" project and makes a broad set of technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements across many Topics to make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of such amendments to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
(2) Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period reduced by unearned ESOP Plan shares and treasury shares. Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution computed pursuant to the treasury stock method that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common stock, and if restricted stock awards were vested. The effects of stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Although the Corporation’s investment portfolio overall is in a net unrealized loss position at September 30, 2026, the temporary impairment in the above noted securities is primarily the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery to satisfy liquidity needs, and therefore, no securities warranted an ACL.
The following table shows the Corporation’s investment gross unrealized losses and fair value aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in continuous unrealized loss position at the dates indicated:

ACL on Securities AFS and HTM
We use credit ratings quarterly and the most recent financial information of securities' issuers annually to help evaluate the credit quality of our securities AFS and HTM portfolios on a quarterly basis. The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government treasuries and U.S. government agency asset backed securities which have no probability of default. The remaining portfolio consists of highly rated municipal bonds, non-agency CMO, and corporate bonds that have a low probability of default.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we had no significant ACL or provision expense and no charge-offs or recoveries on AFS or HTM securities.
Pledged Securities
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, securities having a carrying value of $68.8 million and $69.5 million, respectively, were specifically pledged as collateral for public funds, the FRB discount window program, FHLB borrowings and other purposes. The FHLB has a blanket lien on non-pledged, mortgage-related loans and securities as part of the Corporation’s borrowing agreement.

Fair Value Option for Residential Mortgage Real Estate Loans
Residential mortgage real estate loans that were originated by the Corporation and intended for sale in the secondary market to permanent investors, but were either repurchased or unsalable due to defect, and that the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are carried at fair value pursuant to the Corporation's election of the fair value option for these loans. The remaining loans, net of fees and costs are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of deferred fees or costs, since the original intent for these loans was to hold them until payoff or maturity.

There were no loans or other finance receivables in the tables above as of December 31, 2025, that were 90+days past due and still accruing interest.
Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were five and 11 consumer mortgage loans, respectively, secured by residential real estate properties (included in loans, net of fees and costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) totaling $3.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.
Risks and Uncertainties
We have no particular credit concentration. Our commercial loans have been proactively managed in an effort to achieve a balanced portfolio with no unusual exposure to one industry. Additionally, most of our lending activity occurs within our primary market areas which are concentrated in southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland as well as other contiguous markets and represents a geographic concentration. Additionally, our loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial loans. Commercial loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than residential real estate loans or other consumer loans. Also, the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that for residential real estate loans and consumer loans, implying higher potential losses on an individual loan basis.
Past Due and Nonaccrual Status
The following table presents the amortized costs basis of loans on nonaccrual status, net of fees and costs as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026 there was one loan 90 days or more past due and still accruing, while as of December 31, 2025 there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

(5) Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for estimated expected credit losses within the loan portfolio over the contractual life of an instrument that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions as of the balance sheet date. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the ACL is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the process of determining the ACL to the different segments of the loan and lease portfolio, Management considers certain credit quality indicators. For the commercial mortgage, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments, periodic reviews of the individual loans are performed by Management. The results of these reviews are reflected in the risk grade assigned to each loan. These internally assigned grades are as follows:
•Pass/Watch – Considered to be satisfactory with no indications of deterioration.
•Special mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves Management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
•Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
•Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those 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. Loan balances classified as doubtful have been reduced by partial charge-offs and are carried at their net realizable values.
The following tables detail the carrying value of loans and other finance receivables by portfolio segment based on year of origination and the credit quality indicators used to determine the allowance for credit losses at the dates indicated:

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the ACL on loans and leases, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. However, when principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the ACL on loans and leases. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
The following presents, by class, information regarding accruing and nonaccrual modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

(6) Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
The Corporation’s short-term borrowings generally consist of federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings extended under agreements with the FHLB or other correspondent banks. The Corporation has four unsecured borrowing facilities with correspondent banks for up to $56 million in total. Federal funds purchased generally represent one-day borrowings. The Corporation had $0 and $0 in Federal funds purchased at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Corporation also has a facility with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window of $3.7 million. This facility is fully secured by investment securities and pledged loans. There were no borrowings under this at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Corporation has a revolving line of credit with ACBB of $5 million that is used to fund operating activities of the Corporation and had an outstanding balance of $2 million at September 30, 2026.

The FHLB has also issued $114.6 million of letters of credit to the Corporation for the benefit of the Corporation’s public deposit funds and loan customers. These letters of credit expire throughout the remainder of 2026.
The Corporation has a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $762.7 million as of September 30, 2026 and $751.5 million as of December 31, 2025. All advances and letters of credit from the FHLB are secured by a blanket lien on non-pledged, mortgage-related loans and securities as part of the Corporation’s borrowing agreement with the FHLB.
(7) Servicing Assets
The Corporation sells certain residential mortgage loans and the guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans to third parties and retains servicing rights and receives servicing fees. All such transfers are accounted for as sales. When the Corporation sells a residential mortgage loan, it does not retain any portion of that loan and its continuing involvement in such transfers is limited to certain servicing responsibilities. While the Corporation may retain a portion of certain sold SBA loans, its continuing involvement in the portion of the loan that was sold is limited to certain servicing responsibilities. When the contractual servicing fees on loans sold with servicing retained are expected to be more than adequate compensation to a servicer for performing the servicing, a capitalized servicing asset is recognized.
Residential Mortgage Loans
The related MSR asset is amortized over the period of the estimated future net servicing life of the underlying assets. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. Impairment is recognized on the income statement to the extent the fair value is less than the capitalized amount of the MSR.
The Corporation serviced $10.7 million and $10.3 million of residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation recognized servicing fee income of $4 thousand and $15 thousand, compared to $5 thousand and $129 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Changes in the MSR balance are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended
September 30, | | Nine months ended
September 30, |
| (dollars in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 |

| | | | | | | |
| Balance at end of the period | $ | 88 | | | $ | 82 | | | $ | 88 | | | $ | 82 | |
During the second quarter of 2025 the Corporation sold approximately $979 thousand of residential mortgage loan servicing rights associated with $110.2 million of serviced loans.
The Corporation uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of MSRs. These assumptions include prepayment speeds and discount rates. The assumptions used in the valuation were based on input from buyers, brokers and other qualified personnel, as well as market knowledge. At September 30, 2026, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Corporation’s MSRs included a lifetime constant prepayment rate equal to 8.38% and a discount rate equal to 9.50%. At December 31, 2025, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Corporation’s MSRs included a lifetime constant prepayment rate equal to 9.60% and a discount rate equal to 9.50%. As interest rates increased and the number of mortgage refinancings have declined, model inputs have been adjusted to align the MSRs fair value with market conditions.
The sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the following table.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (dollars in thousands) | September 30,
2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights | $ | 133 | | | $ | 114 | |
| | | |
| Weighted average life (months) | 49 | | 43 |
| | | |
| Prepayment speed | 8.38 | % | | 9.60 | % |
| Impact on fair value: | | | |
| 10% adverse change | $ | (6) | | | $ | (5) | |
| 20% adverse change | (12) | | | (10) | |

| Discount rate | 9.50 | % | | 9.50 | % |
| Impact on fair value: | | | |
| 10% adverse change | $ | (5) | | | $ | (4) | |
| 20% adverse change | (10) | | | (9) | |
The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.
SBA Loans
SBA loan servicing assets are amortized over the period of the estimated future net servicing life of the underlying assets. SBA loan servicing assets are evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. Impairment is recognized on the income statement to the extent the fair value is less than the capitalized amount of the SBA loan servicing asset. The Corporation serviced $289.5 million and $305.3 million of SBA loans, as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Changes in the SBA loan servicing asset balance are summarized as follows:

September 30, | | Nine months ended
September 30, |

| Balance at end of the period | $ | 3,219 | | | $ | 3,763 | | | $ | 3,219 | | | $ | 3,763 | |
Amortization of SBA loan servicing rights and changes in the valuation allowance are included in SBA loan income on the consolidated statements of income.
Activity in the valuation allowance for SBA loan servicing assets was as follows:

The Corporation uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of SBA loan servicing rights. These assumptions include prepayment speeds, discount rates, and other assumptions. The assumptions used in the valuation were based on input from buyers, brokers and other qualified personnel, as well as market knowledge. At September 30, 2026, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Corporation’s SBA loan servicing rights included a lifetime constant prepayment rate equal to 18.35% and a discount rate equal to 11.75%. At December 31, 2025, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Corporation’s SBA loan servicing rights included a lifetime constant prepayment rate equal to 17.10% and a discount rate equal to 12.91%.
The sensitivity of the current fair value of the SBA loan servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the following table.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the SBA servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.
(8) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Corporation’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation techniques or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
In accordance with this guidance, the Corporation groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities
The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. The fair value of certain other securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) are based on quoted prices obtained from dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets (Level 1).
Commercial Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on secondary market prices.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on secondary market prices.
Mortgage Loans Held for Investment
The fair value of mortgage loans held for investment is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of forward commitments and interest rate swaps are based on market pricing and therefore are considered Level 2. Derivatives classified as Level 3 consist of interest rate lock commitments related to mortgage loan commitments. The determination of fair value includes assumptions related to the likelihood that a commitment will ultimately result in a closed loan, which is a significant unobservable assumption. A significant increase or decrease in the external market price would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
The following table presents the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated:

Below is management’s estimate of the fair value of all financial instruments, whether carried at cost or fair value on the Corporation’s balance sheet. The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
Loans Receivable
The fair value of loans receivable is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value below is reflective of an exit price.
Servicing Assets
The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and SBA loan servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the interest rates of the portfolios serviced. These servicing rights are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon management’s assessment of the inputs. The Corporation reviews the servicing rights portfolios on a quarterly basis for impairment.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure or other measures. Initially, foreclosed assets are recorded at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. The fair value of OREO was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals, letters of intent or agreement of sale received from third parties.
Repossessed Assets
Repossessed assets represents non-real estate assets that the Corporation has acquired by taking possession of the asset that collateralized a loan or lease. The Corporation reports repossessed assets at the fair value less cost to sell, adjusted periodically based on a current appraisal provided by a third party based on their assumptions and quoted market prices for similar assets, when available. Write-downs and any gain or loss upon the sale of repossessed assets is recorded in other noninterest income. The fair value of repossessed assets was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals, letters of intent or agreement of sale received from third parties.
Individually Evaluated Loans
Individually evaluated loans are those in which the Corporation has determined they no longer shares similar risk characteristics with loans in an existing pool and therefore require evaluation on an individual basis. The Corporation measures the expected credit losses for such loans based on the fair value of the loan's collateral and discounted cash flow analysis, where appropriate. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis and expected credit losses are adjusted in accordance with the ACL policy, if deemed necessary.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
Long-Term Debt
Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
Subordinated Debt
Fair values of junior subordinated debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates currently offered on such debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
Off-balance sheet instruments are primarily comprised of loan commitments, which are generally priced at market at the time of funding. Fees on commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit are deemed to be immaterial and these instruments are expected to be settled at face value or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these instruments and as a result they are not
included in the table below. Fair values assigned to the notional value of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts are based on market quotes.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of forward commitments and interest rate swaps is based on market pricing and therefore are considered Level 2. Derivatives classified as Level 3 consist of interest rate lock commitments related to mortgage loan commitments. The determination of fair value includes assumptions related to the likelihood that a commitment will ultimately result in a closed loan, which is a significant unobservable assumption. A significant increase or decrease in the external market price would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

(9) Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Corporation is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Corporation principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Corporation manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Corporation enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Corporation’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Corporation’s loan portfolio.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation uses interest rate swap agreements to modify interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to variable in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. The Corporation’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps includes changes in fair value and any collateral that is held by a third party.
In June 2023 the Corporation entered into three interest rate swaps classified as cash flow hedges with notional amounts of $25 million each, to hedge the interest payments paid on short term borrowings. Under the terms of the three swap agreements, the Corporation pays average fixed rates of 4.070%, 4.027% and 4.117%, and receives variable rates in return indexed to SOFR. The swap agreements with 4.070% and 4.027% average fixed rates matured on June 15, 2026 and May 31, 2026, respectively. The remaining swap matures in December 2026. The Corporation performed an assessment of the hedge for effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and performs an assessment on a recurring basis and determined that the derivative currently is and is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, approximately $95 thousand and $285 thousand, net of tax, is recorded in total comprehensive income as unrealized gains, while for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately $17 thousand and $167 thousand, net of tax, is recorded in total comprehensive income as an unrealized gain and an unrealized loss, respectively. These amounts could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2026. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the combined notional amount of the interest rate swaps was $25 million and $75 million, respectively, and the fair value was a liability of $7 thousand and $281 thousand, respectively.
In August 2024 the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap classified as a fair value hedge with a notional amount of $40 million, to hedge the interest payments received on a pool of residential mortgage loans held in portfolio. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Corporation pays an average fixed rate of 3.60% and receives a variable rate in return indexed to SOFR. The swap matures August 2027. The Corporation performed an assessment of the hedge for effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and performs an assessment on a recurring basis and determined that the derivative currently is and is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, approximately $5 thousand and $(1) thousand, respectively, net of tax, is recorded as a fair values adjustment. These amounts could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2026.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation may enter into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans or interest rate locks at a fixed price at a future date. The amount necessary to settle each interest rate lock is based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments are recorded within other assets/liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded within net change in the fair value of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of income.
Customer Derivatives
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Corporation provides to certain customers to swap a fixed rate product for a variable rate product, or vice versa. The Corporation executes interest rate derivatives with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate derivatives are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Corporation executes with a third party, such that the Corporation minimizes its net interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

(10) Segments
ASC Topic 280 – Segment Reporting identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the Corporation’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Corporation has applied the aggregation criterion set forth in this codification to the results of its operations.
Our Banking segment (“Bank”) consists of commercial and retail banking. The Banking segment generates interest income from its lending and investing activities and is dependent on the gathering of lower cost deposits from its branch network or borrowed funds from other sources for funding its loans, resulting in the generation of net interest income. The Banking segment also derives revenues from other sources including gains on the sale of SBA loans, sales of available for sale investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, cash sweep fees, overdraft fees, BOLI income, title insurance fees, and other less significant non-interest income. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation.
Meridian Wealth (“Wealth”), a registered investment advisor and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, provides a comprehensive array of wealth management services and products and the trusted guidance to help its clients and our banking customers prepare for the future. Segment income before income taxes is used to assess the performance of the wealth segment by monitoring the generation of wealth management income as the wealth segment generates non-interest income through advisory fees. The cost of marketing, business development, and payroll provide the significant expenses in wealth.
Meridian’s mortgage banking segment (“Mortgage”) consists of 7 loan production offices throughout suburban Philadelphia and Maryland. Segment income before income taxes is used to assess the performance of the mortgage banking segment by monitoring the gains received on loan sales. The Mortgage segment originates 1 – 4 family residential mortgages and sells nearly all of its production to third party investors. The unit generates net interest income on the loans it originates and holds temporarily, then earns fee income (primarily gain on sales) at the time of the sale. The unit also recognizes income from document preparation fees, changes in portfolio pipeline fair values and related net hedging gains (losses). The cost of loans sales and payroll provide the significant expenses in mortgage banking.
The table below summarizes income and expenses, directly attributable to each business line, which have been included in the statement of operations. Total assets for each segment is also provided.

Forward-Looking Statements
Meridian Corporation may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to Meridian Corporation’s strategies, goals, beliefs, expectations, estimates, intentions, capital raising efforts, financial condition and results of operations, future performance and business. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that include the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “pro forma,” “looking forward,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or similar expressions generally indicate a forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which, in whole or in part, are beyond Meridian Corporation’s control). Numerous competitive, economic, regulatory, legal and technological factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation: credit losses and the credit risk of our commercial and consumer loan products; changes in the level of charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL, including the timing of third-party appraisals and loan valuations from lead financial institutions in which we are a loan participant; cyber-security concerns; rapid technological developments and changes, including the development and use of artificial intelligence in business processes, services, and products; increased competitive pressures; changes in spreads on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; changes in general economic conditions and conditions within the securities markets; escalating tariff and other trade policies and the resulting impacts on market volatility and global trade; the impact of uncertain or changing political conditions or any current or future federal government shutdown and uncertainty regarding the federal government's debt limit; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of
terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and military conflicts, including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which could impact economic conditions in the United States; unanticipated changes in our liquidity position; unanticipated changes in regulatory and governmental policies impacting interest rates and financial markets; legislation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and Meridian Corporation, in particular; changes in accounting policies, practices or guidance; developments affecting the industry and the soundness of financial institutions and further disruption to the economy and U.S. banking system; among others, could cause Meridian Corporation’s financial performance to differ materially from the goals, plans, objectives, intentions and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Meridian Corporation cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive, and neither such factors nor any such forward-looking statement takes into account the impact of any future events. All forward-looking statements and information set forth herein are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions as of the date hereof and speak only as of the date they are made. For a more complete discussion of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties related to our business, you are encouraged to review Meridian Corporation’s filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K that update or provide information in addition to the information included in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, if any. Meridian Corporation does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by Meridian Corporation or by or on behalf of Meridian Bank.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies are described in detail in the "Critical Accounting Policies" section within Item 7 of our 2025 Annual Form 10-K. The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Management considers the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy.
Executive Overview
The following items highlight the Corporation’s changes in its financial condition as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. More detailed information related to these highlights can be found in the sections that follow.
Changes in Financial Condition - September 30, 2026 Compared to December 31, 2025
•Total assets increased $9.6 million, or 0.4%, to $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2026.
•Portfolio loans decreased $5.8 million, or 0.3%, to $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2026.
•Mortgage loans held for sale increased $8.3 million, or 24.6%, to $42.1 million as of September 30, 2026.
•Total deposits increased $8.8 million or 0.4% to $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2026.
•The Corporation earned net income of $13.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and returned $5.0 million of capital to Meridian shareholders during this period through a $0.14 dividend per share in each of the first three quarters of the year.
Three Month Results of Operations - September 30, 2026 Compared to September 30, 2025
•Net income was $5.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, down $1.5 million, or 21.8%, driven by lower non-interest income and higher non-interest expense, partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses, and slightly higher net interest income.
•The return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.80% and 9.97%, respectively, for the third quarter 2026, compared to 1.04% and 14.42%, respectively, for the third quarter 2025.
•Net interest income increased $320 thousand, or 1.4%, to $23.4 million with a consistent net interest margin of 3.77% for both periods. Despite the consistent net interest margin, total interest income decreased $1.7 million or 3.8%, over this period, while total interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 9.9%.
•The overall provision for credit losses decreased $1.7 million when comparing the third quarter 2026 to the third quarter 2025. The provision on funded loans decreased $1.7 million over the three month comparable period in 2025 driven by a combination of a lower level of loan growth, a reduction in specific reserves on non-performing loans, and a decrease in net charge-offs over this period.
•Non-interest income decreased $3.2 million, or 32.6%, to $6.7 million driven by a $1.7 million decline in SBA loan income, a decrease of $1.2 million in mortgage banking income, and a decrease of $1.2 million in net change in the fair value of loans held-for-investment.
•Non-interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 6.9%, to $23.0 million due largely to an increase of $351 thousand in data processing and software expense, a $230 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expense, combined with a $677 thousand increase in other non-interest expense, and a $180 thousand increase in professional fees.
Nine Month Results of Operations - September 30, 2026 Compared to September 30, 2025
•Net income was $13.0 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, down $1.6 million, or 11.1%, driven by a decrease in non-interest income, an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for credit losses.
•The return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.68% and 8.51%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 0.79% and 10.98%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
•Net interest margin increased to 3.76% from 3.59% due to the impact of a reduction in deposit and borrowing costs outpacing the decreased yield on interest earnings assets, mainly loans.
•The overall provision for credit losses decreased $274 thousand when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to September 30, 2025, due to the decline in loan growth period over period, combined with an improvement in certain macro-economic factors in the underlying forecast models utilized in the ACL calculations.
•Non-interest income decreased $4.9 million, or 17.3%, to $23.6 million driven by a $3.7 million decrease in SBA loan income, and an overall $1.8 million negative impact of fair value changes related to mortgage banking activities. These changes were partially offset by a $260 thousand increase in mortgage banking income, and a $675 thousand increase in wealth management fee income.
•Non-interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 6.1%, to $65.4 million due to an increase of $1.0 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $1.2 million in data processing and software expense, combined with a $391 thousand increase in professional fees, and an increase of $1.0 million in other non-interest expense.

Components of Net Income
Net income is comprised of five major elements:
•Net Interest Income, or the difference between the interest income earned on loans, leases, other finance receivables, and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds;
•Provision For Credit Losses, or the amount added to the Allowance to provide for current expected credit losses on portfolio loans and other finance receivables;
•Non-interest Income, which is made up primarily of mortgage banking income, wealth management income, SBA loan sale income, fair value adjustments, gains and losses from the sale of loans, gains and losses from the sale of investment securities available for sale and other fees from loan and deposit services;
•Non-interest Expense, which consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, professional fees, advertising & promotion, data processing and software expense, loan expenses, and other operating expenses; and
•Income Taxes, which include state and federal jurisdictions.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is an integral source of the Corporation’s revenue. The tables below present a summary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, of the Corporation’s average balances and yields earned on its interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is the net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The net interest spread is the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The difference between the net interest margin and the net interest spread is the result of net free funding sources such as non-interest bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Same Period in 2025
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, tax-equivalent interest income decreased $1.7 million as favorable volume changes contributed $450 thousand to interest income, but this was offset by a $2.1 million unfavorable change in rates. The unfavorable change in rates led to a 36 basis point decline in the yield on loans held for investment, which had a $2.0 million unfavorable impact on interest income. This decline in rates was largely due to the 25 basis point decline in the prime interest rate over this period. The loans held for investment average balances increased $16.3 million, leading to a favorable volume impact on interest income of $301 thousand, while the increase in loans held for sale average balances of $7.4 million also had a small but favorable impact to interest income of $114 thousand. Growth in the loans held for investment portfolio was led by average balance increases in construction loans ($88.3 million), commercial real estate ($74.1 million), commercial loans ($31.6 million), and home equity loans ($25.3 million), partially offset by a decline in the average balance of residential real estate loans of ($27.6 million), and a decline of ($38.7 million) in the average balance of small business loans.
On the funding side, overall interest expense decreased $2.0 million. The cost of deposits was down across the board as the prime rate was 25 basis points higher in the prior year comparable period, leading to a $1.3 million decrease to interest expense. The cost of interest-bearing demand deposits, money market and savings accounts and time deposits decreased 4, 52, and 24 basis points, respectively, while the cost of borrowings decreased 14 basis points. Interest expense was down overall due to these rate changes, and an increase in average balances had a favorable impact of $94 thousand on interest expense. Money market/savings accounts were the largest drivers of the volume increase as average balances on such accounts increased $26.2 million, time deposit average balances increased $34.3 million, but the average balances on interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $15.2 million, and borrowings decreased $46.5 million on average.
Overall, the $286 thousand increase in net interest income over this period was attributable largely to the drop in the prime rate, as the 34 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets was offset by a 37 basis point drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Same Period in 2025
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, tax-equivalent interest income decreased $583 thousand as favorable volume changes contributed $4.3 million to interest income, but this was offset by a $4.9 million unfavorable change in rates as the prime rate was 25 basis points higher as of September 30, 2025. The loans held for investment average balances increased $72.9 million, leading to a favorable volume impact on interest income of $3.9 million, while the increase in loans held for sale average balances of $6.6 million had a favorable impact to interest income of $299 thousand. Growth in the loans held for investment portfolio was led by average balance increases in construction loans ($58.7 million), commercial real estate ($31.7 million), commercial loans ($21.3 million), and home equity loans ($13.7 million). The unfavorable change in rates led to decreased yields on loans held for sale (down 37 basis points) and loans held for investment (down 28 basis points) that unfavorably impact interest income by $4.6 million, overall.
On the funding side, overall interest expense decreased $5.9 million. Interest expense on deposits decreased $4.5 million as the cost of all deposit types decreased. The cost of interest-bearing demand deposits, money market and savings accounts and time deposits decreased 26 basis points, 58 basis points and 41 basis points, respectively, while the cost of borrowings decreased by 17 basis points as well. From a volume perspective, money market/savings account average balances increased $67.3 million, while time deposit average balances increased $30.2 million, and the average balance on interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $9.3 million, and borrowings decreased $29.9 million on average.
Overall, the $5.3 million increase in net interest income over this period was driven largely by the drop in the prime rate, as the 26 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets was offset by a 49 basis point drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Same Periods in 2025
The total provision for credit losses decreased $1.7 million on a net basis for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The provision on funded loans decreased $1.7 million over the three month comparable period in 2025 driven by a combination of a lower level of loan growth, a reduction in specific reserves on non-performing loans, and a decrease in net charge-offs over this period. There was a $5 thousand provision on unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2026, while for the three months ended September 30, 2025 there was zero provision on unfunded loan commitments.
The total provision for credit losses decreased $274 thousand on a net basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The provision on funded loans decreased $339 thousand over the nine month comparable period in 2025 despite an increase of $4.7 million in charge-offs over this period, with $3.9 million of the increase in charge-offs coming from a loan participated to us by another financial institution that became non-performing in the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in provision for credit losses was due to slightly negative portfolio loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to loan growth for the nine months September 30, 2025 amounting to 6.6%, combined with an improvement in certain macro-economic factors in the underlying forecast models utilized in the ACL calculations. There was a $235 thousand provision on unfunded loan commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, while for the nine months September 30, 2025 there was an unfunded provision of $170 thousand.
NON-INTEREST INCOME

| Total non-interest income | $ | 6,705 | | | $ | 9,953 | | | $ | (3,248) | | | (32.6) | % |
Total non-interest income decreased $3.2 million due to decreases in SBA loan income, mortgage banking income, as well as a decrease in net change in the fair value of residential loans held-for-investment. Partially offsetting these declines were an increase in wealth management income, an improvement in the net change in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, an increase in the net gain on hedging activity, and increase in other non-interest income.
Mortgage banking income decreased $1.2 million over the comparable quarterly period, driven by a 45 basis point decrease in the gain on sale margin, and a $5.9 million decrease in the volume of loans sold over this period.
SBA loan income decreased $1.7 million over this period as the volume of SBA loans sold for the quarter-ended September 30, 2026 was $23.8 million lower than the sales for the quarter-ended September 30, 2025, combined with the impact of amortization expense on SBA loan servicing rights and related valuation allowance adjustments.
There was also a $1.2 million unfavorable change in the fair value of residential loans held-for-investment due largely to the rapid rise in the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate leading up to September 30, 2026, where from September 30, 2025 to September 30, 2026 the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate increased over 100 basis points.
Wealth management income was $1.9 million for the quarter, up 16.6% from the prior year comparable quarter due to the double digit improvement in stock market indices at the end of the prior quarter, which drives a large percentage of fee income calculations.

| Total non-interest income | $ | 23,625 | | | $ | 28,565 | | | $ | (4,940) | | | (17.3) | % |
Total non-interest income decreased $4.9 million, despite increases in mortgage banking income and wealth management income over the nine month comparable period, due to decreases in SBA loan income and net change in the fair value of loans-held-for-investment.
SBA loan income decreased $3.7 million over this period as the volume of SBA loans sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was lower by $56.8 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, while the gross margin on sale was 8.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was the sale of $979 thousand in MSRs that resulted in a net gain on sale of $415 thousand, compared to a net loss on sale of MSRs of $159 thousand was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
There was also a $1.5 million unfavorable change in the fair value of loans held-for-investment due largely to the rapid rise in the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate noted above in the 3 month non-interest income discussion.
While there was with a 19 basis point decrease in the sales margin on mortgage banking sales activity, the volume of residential mortgage loans sold increased by $48.4 million over the nine month comparable period, resulting in an increase of $260 thousand in mortgage banking income.
Wealth management income improved $675 thousand, or 14.6%, as the amount of assets under management as of September 30, 2026 was up 8.9% since December 31, 2025.

| Total non-interest expense | $ | 23,026 | | | $ | 21,546 | | | $ | 1,480 | | | 6.9 | % |
Total non-interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 6.9%, as the result of increases in occupancy and equipment expense, professional fees, data processing and software expense, and other non-interest expense. Occupancy and equipment expenses were up $230 thousand related to the opening of Meridian's first full-service branch in Bonita Springs, Florida which occurred late in 2025. Professional fees increased period over period due to the increase in fees related to non-performing loans and costs incurred related to the solar tax credit program entered into during 2026 that had a positive impact on income tax expense. Data processing and software expense increased $351 thousand over the three month comparable period as Meridian invests in technology at the customer and employee level to continuously improve on the efficiency and security of the systems we use, combined with an increase in customer transaction volume. Other expense increased $677 thousand mainly due to an increase in OREO expenses and non-salary employee expenses in the current quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Same Period in 2025
The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Total non-interest expense | $ | 65,411 | | | $ | 61,646 | | | $ | 3,765 | | | 6.1 | % |
Total non-interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 6.1%, largely attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees, data processing and software expenses, as well as other non-interest expense. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million due largely to overall employee merit, benefit, and tax related increases for existing employees, as well as an increase of nearly 9 full-time equivalent employees, combined with an increase in mortgage segment related commissions and other benefits. The $391 thousand increase in professional fees was due to expenses related to non-performing loans. Data processing and software expense increased $1.2 million over the nine month comparable period due to the year-to-date impact of Meridian's continued investment in technology at the customer and employee level, combined with an increase in customer transaction volume discussed above in the three month comparison section. Other expense increased $1.0 million mainly due to an increase in OREO expenses and non-salary employee expenses in the current year-to-date period, compared to the prior year period.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $778 thousand and $3.0 million, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $4.5 million for the same periods in 2025. Our effective tax rates were 13.0% and 18.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 23.2% and 23.3% for the same periods in 2025. This decrease in effective tax rate was primarily driven by the impact of $10 million in renewable energy tax credits purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2026, which reduced the third quarter and September 30, 2026 year-to-date income tax expense by approximately $600 thousand.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
As of September 30, 2026, total assets were $2.6 billion which increased $9.6 million, or 0.4%, from December 31, 2025. This increase in assets was driven primarily by a $10.1 million increase in securities available-for-sale, an increase of $10.1 million in total loans held for sale, partially offset by the decrease in portfolio loans, as detailed in the following table:

Total loans and other finance receivables decreased $5.8 million, or 0.3%, to $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, from $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. Small business loan balances declined $25.9 million, partially due to the sale of $20.2 million in SBA loan guarantees, combined with declines of $10.6 million and $16.8 million, in residential mortgage loans and leases, respectively. Mostly offsetting these decreases, were increases of $18.4 million in commercial mortgage loans, $12.0 million in construction loans, $6.9 million in commercial and industrial loans, and a $10.1 million increase in home equity lines and loans.
As of September 30, 2026, included within the commercial real estate loans total of $897.8 million was $280 million of owner-occupied commercial loans, as well as $98.9 million of multi-family loans. Nearly all of the multi-family real estate loans are on properties located in Philadelphia and surrounding counties we service.

| Total deposits | $ | 2,166,882 | | | $ | 2,158,128 | | | $ | 8,754 | | | 0.4 | % |
Total deposits increased $8.8 million, or 0.4%, since December 31, 2025. Total interest-bearing deposits increased $698 thousand during the period, and noninterest-bearing deposits increased $8.1 million. Money market accounts and savings accounts decreased a combined $86.2 million, with $52 million of collateralized deposits being migrated from money market accounts to certificates of deposits for customer efficiency. Time deposits increased $84.1 million, or 11.5%, mainly for customer efficiency.
Meridian's deposit base is comprised of business deposits, 53%, with consumer deposits amounting to 16% at September 30, 2026. Municipal deposits at 9% and brokered deposits at 22% provide growth funding. Historically, business deposits lag loan fundings. A
typical business relationship maintains operating accounts, investment accounts or sweep accounts and business owners may also have personal savings or wealth accounts. Deposit balances in business accounts have a tendency to be higher on average than consumer accounts. At September 30, 2026, 64% of business accounts and 86% of consumer accounts were fully insured by the FDIC. The municipal deposits are 100% collateralized and brokered deposits are 100% FDIC insured. The level of uninsured deposits for the entire deposit base was 21% at September 30, 2026.
Capital
Consolidated stockholders’ equity of the Corporation was $203.6 million, or 7.9% of total assets as of September 30, 2026, as compared to $199.7 million, or 7.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2025. On October 29, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable November 16, 2026 to shareholders of record as of November 9, 2026.
Under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework, as revised by bank regulators on July 1, 2026, a community banking organization that is less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and has limited amounts of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures, and a CBLR greater than 8% can elect to report a single regulatory capital ratio. The Corporation has elected to be measured under this framework for Bank capital adequacy and had ratios of 9.93% and 9.50% at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Corporation is exempt from CBLR.
The following table presents the Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” by regulators at the periods indicated:

| Total risk-based capital ratio | | | | | 11.83 | % | | 11.65 | % | | 10.00 | % |
In December 2018, the Federal Reserve announced that a banking organization that experiences a reduction in retained earnings due to the CECL adoption as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which CECL is adopted may elect to phase in the regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL. Transitional amounts are calculated for the following items: retained earnings, temporary difference deferred tax assets and credit loss allowances eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital. When calculating regulatory capital ratios, 25% of the transitional amounts are phased in during the first year. An additional 25% of the transitional amounts are phased in over each of the next two years and at the beginning of the fourth year, the day-one effects of CECL are completely reflected in regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2026, Meridian has phased in 100% of the day-one effects of CECL.
Asset Quality Summary
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 3.23% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 2.38% reported as of December 31, 2025. Total non-performing loans of $78.3 million as of September 30, 2026, increased $23.3 million from $55.1 million as of December 31, 2025, with the largest increases coming from land development loans ($19.9 million) and commercial mortgage loans ($9.0 million), partially offset by the reclassification out of non-performing status and/or payoff of $3.8 million of several residential, CRE & SBA loans combined. The downgraded land development loan relationships were all well collateralized and therefore did not require any specific reserve as of September 30, 2026. Of the increase in commercial mortgage non-performing loans, $2.9 million came from a purchased participation loan secured by a first lien on leasehold interests in a multi-building Class A office property. An April 2026 appraisal, reflecting conditions as of March 31, 2026, indicated a significant decline in value from the original appraisal at the time of our participation and resulted in a charge-off as of March 31, 2026. The remaining increase in commercial mortgage non-performing loan relationships were well collateralized and therefore did not require any specific reserve as of September 30, 2026. SBA loans make up $23.6 million of total non-performing loans, with $13.6 million, or 57.6%, guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA portfolio was subject to the Fed's rapid rate increase with 48.1%, of total non-performing SBA loans having been originated in 2020-2021 when rates were lower by over 500 basis points.
As of September 30, 2026 there were specific reserves of $3.0 million against non-performing loans, a decrease of $422 thousand, from $3.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
Meridian realized net charge-offs of 0.09% of total average loans for the three months ending September 30, 2026, on pace with the 0.09% reported for the same period in 2025. Net charge-offs for the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025 were both $1.9 million, with the quarter ended September 30, 2026 being $10 thousand lower than the prior year comparable quarter. Net charge-offs for the current quarter comprised of $2.6 million in total gross charge-offs, $1.3 million from commercial, industrial & other finance receivables, $934 thousand related to SBA loans, and $413 thousand in small equipment leases. There were $739 thousand in recoveries during the period related to small business loans, finance receivables and leases.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and other finance receivables, excluding loans at fair value (a non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures), was 0.96% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 1.00% as of December 31, 2025. The level of provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2026, combined with lower loan growth and a lower level of specifically reserved loans, helped to drive the allowance coverage level slightly lower.
Non-performing loans decreased $3.8 million from June 30, 2026 to September 30, 2026 and another $4.3 million settled subsequent to September 30, 2026, a combined reduction of $8.1 million or 10%.
The Corporation believes it is proactive with its loan review process that utilizes the engagement of an independent outside loan review firm, which helps identify developing credit issues. For example, the Corporation procures additional collateral (preferably outside the current loan structure) whenever possible and maintains frequent contact with the borrower. The Corporation believes that timely identification of credit issues and appropriate actions early in the process serve to mitigate overall risk of loss.

Liquidity
Management maintains liquidity to meet depositors’ needs for funds, to satisfy or fund loan commitments, and for other operating purposes. Meridian’s foundation for liquidity is a stable and loyal customer deposit base, cash and cash equivalents, and a marketable investment portfolio that provides periodic cash flow through regular maturities and amortization or that can be used as collateral to secure funding. In addition, as part of its liquidity management, Meridian maintains a portion of commercial loan assets that are
comprised of SNCs, which have a national market and can be sold in a timely manner. Meridian’s available liquidity, which totaled $362.6 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $346.3 million at December 31, 2025, includes investments, SNCs, Federal funds sold, mortgages held-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents, less the amount of securities required to be pledged for certain liabilities. Meridian also anticipates scheduled payments and prepayments on its loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
In addition, Meridian maintains borrowing arrangements with various correspondent banks, the FHLB and the FRB to meet short-term liquidity needs and has access to approximately $842.4 million in liquidity from these sources. Through its relationship at the Federal Reserve, Meridian had available credit of approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2026. At September 30, 2026, Meridian had $0 in borrowings from the Federal Reserve. As a member of the FHLB, Meridian is eligible to borrow up to a specific credit limit, which is determined by the amount of our residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and other loans that have been pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2026, Meridian’s maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $762.7 million. At September 30, 2026, Meridian had borrowed $113.2 million and the FHLB had issued letters of credit, on Meridian’s behalf, totaling $114.6 million against its available credit lines. At September 30, 2026, Meridian also has $56.0 million of unsecured federal funds lines of credit with other financial institutions, with outstanding borrowings of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2026, as well as $307.7 million of available short or long term wholesale funding arrangements through the CDARS/ICS one-way buy program and conventional brokered CDs. Management believes that Meridian has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term funding requirements.
Discussion of Segments
As of September 30, 2026, the Corporation has three principal segments as defined by FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” The segments are Banking, Mortgage Banking and Wealth Management (see Note 10 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Banking Segment recorded income before tax of $6.9 million and $16.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to income before tax of $7.7 million and $16.5 million for the same periods in 2025. The Banking Segment provided 115.9% and 102.0% of the Corporation’s pre-tax profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 88.3% and 86.4% for the same periods in 2025.
The Wealth Management Segment recorded income before tax of $689 thousand and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to income before tax of $512 thousand and $1.8 million for the same periods in 2025.
The Mortgage Banking Segment recorded pre-tax losses of $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to income before tax of $507 thousand and $758 thousand for the same periods in 2025. For the three month comparable period, mortgage banking income was down as loan origination and sales volume were both down, as was the margin on loan sales. For the nine month comparable period, mortgage banking income and expenses related to loan originations and sales increased over the prior year, but the margin on sales was down.
Off Balance Sheet Risk
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and loan repurchase commitments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Total commitments to extend credit at September 30, 2026 were $654.1 million as compared to $641.9 million at December 31, 2025.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to a customer for a third party. Such standby letters of credit are issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is similar to that involved in granting loan facilities to customers. The Corporation’s obligation under standby letters of credit at September 30, 2026 amounted to $10.1 million as compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2025.
Estimated fair values of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees and rates currently charged to enter into similar loan agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Since fees and rates charged for off-balance sheet items are at market levels when set, there is no material difference between the stated amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet instruments.
In certain circumstances the Corporation may be required to repurchase residential mortgage loans from investors under the terms of loan sale agreements. Generally, these circumstances include the breach of representations and warranties made to investors regarding borrower default or early payment, as well as a violation of the applicable federal, state, or local lending laws. The Corporation agrees to repurchase loans if the representations and warranties made with respect to such loans are breached. Based on the obligations described above, the Corporation repurchased 1 loan of $247 thousand and 2 loans of $532 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, while the Corporation repurchased no loans and 1 loan of $425 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Meridian believes that non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate performance trends and the adequacy of common equity. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for performance and financial condition measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Meridian’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Our management used the measure of the tangible common equity ratio to assess our capital strength. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because, by removing the impact of our goodwill and other intangible assets, it allows investors to more easily assess our capital adequacy. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for any regulatory capital ratios and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The table below provides the non-GAAP reconciliation for our tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Simulations of Net Interest Income
We use a simulation model on a quarterly basis to measure and evaluate potential changes in our net interest income resulting from various hypothetical interest rate scenarios. Our model incorporates various assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but which may have a significant impact on results such as:
•the timing of changes in interest rates;
•shifts or rotations in the yield curve;
•repricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments on the balance sheet;
•differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices;
•varying timing of loan prepayments for different interest rate scenarios;
•the effect of interest rate floors, periodic loan caps and lifetime loan caps; and
•overall growth rates and product mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Because of the limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulated results are not intended to be used as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results, but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate ALM strategies.
Potential increase (decrease) to our net interest income between a flat interest rate scenario and hypothetical rising and declining interest rate scenarios, measured over a one-year period as of the dates indicated, are presented in the following table which assuming rate shifts occur upward and downward on the yield curve in even increments over the first twelve months (ramp) followed by rates held constant thereafter.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, |
| Changes in Market Interest Rates | 2026 | | 2025 |
| +300 basis points over next 12 months | 0.73 | % | | 1.64 | % |
| +200 basis points over next 12 months | 0.60 | % | | 1.34 | % |
| +100 basis points over next 12 months | 0.38 | % | | 0.78 | % |
| No Change | | | |
| -100 basis points over next 12 months | (0.71) | % | | (0.61) | % |
| -200 basis points over next 12 months | (1.26) | % | | (0.85) | % |
| -300 basis points over next 12 months | (1.68) | % | | (0.26) | % |
The above interest rate simulation suggests that as of September 30, 2026 that the Corporation’s balance sheet is fairly neutrally positioned over the next 12 months. The simulated exposure to a change in interest rates is manageable and well within policy guidelines. The results continue to drive our funding strategy of increasing relationship-based accounts (core deposits) and utilizing term deposits to fund short to medium duration assets.
Simulation of economic value of equity
To quantify the amount of capital required to absorb potential losses in value of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulting from adverse market movements, we calculate economic value of equity on a quarterly basis. We define economic value of equity as the net present value of our balance sheet’s cash flow, and we calculate economic value of equity by discounting anticipated principal and interest cash flows under the prevailing and hypothetical interest rate environments. Potential changes to our economic value of equity between a flat rate scenario and hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios are presented in the following table. The projections assume shifts upward and downward in the yield curve of 100, 200 and 300 basis points occurring immediately.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, |
| Changes in Market Interest Rates | 2026 | | 2025 |
| +300 basis points | 2 | % | | 9 | % |
| +200 basis points | 2 | % | | 8 | % |
| +100 basis points | 2 | % | | 5 | % |
| No Change | | | |
| -100 basis points | (3) | % | | (8) | % |
| -200 basis points | (10) | % | | (21) | % |
| -300 basis points | (20) | % | | (40) | % |
This economic value of equity profile at September 30, 2026 suggests that an instantaneous decrease in rates would have a negative impact on value of the Banks' balance sheet. While an instantaneous shift in interest rates is used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure, we believe that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a much more modest impact. Since economic value of equity measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in economic value of equity does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon.
The results of our net interest income and economic value of equity simulation analysis are purely hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from that projected, our net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts or changes in interest rate spreads would also cause net interest income to be different from that projected. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term interest-bearing liabilities reprice faster than expected or faster than our interest-earning assets. Actual results could differ from those projected if interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities grow faster or slower than estimated, or otherwise change its mix of products. Actual results could also differ from those projected if actual repayment speeds in the loan portfolio are substantially different than those assumed in the simulation model. Furthermore, the results do not take into account the impact of changes in loan prepayment rates on loan discount accretion. If loan prepayment rates were to increase, any remaining loan discounts would be recognized into interest income. This would result in a current period offset to declining net interest income caused by higher rate loans prepaying. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes to loan, investment, deposit, funding or other strategies.
Management has and continues to employ strategies to mitigate risk in the Net Interest Income and Economic Value simulations.
