Net ending loan balances increased by $1.6 billion linked quarter due to robust growth across several lending businesses, including commercial real estate specialty, capital calls, single-family warehouse and equipment leasing. Excluding the impact from the FDIC-purchased loan prepayment and the Verdant on-balance sheet securitizations, net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was roughly flat linked quarter.” “Non-interest income was $53.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, including $18.9 million related to operating lease rental and other income from Verdant, compared to $32.3 million in the prior quarter,” said Derrick Walsh, Chief Financial Officer of Axos. “Non-interest expenses in the quarter ended December 31, 2025 included approximately $14.8 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses and $11 million of other expenses related to Verdant. Excluding these two Verdant items, non-interest expenses were relatively flat linked quarter.” Other Highlights Ending net loan balances were $24.3 billion at December 31, 2025, reflecting a net change in loans of $1.6 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2025Net annualized charge-offs to average loans was 4 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2025, down from 10 basis points in the three months ended December 31, 2024Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.56% as of December 31, 2025, down from 0.71% as of June 30, 2025Net interest margin was 4.94% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 4.83% for the three months ended December 31, 2024Non-interest income was $53.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, up 92.0% from $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as the acquisition of Verdant Commercial Capital, LLC (“Verdant”) contributed to the growthTotal deposits were $23.2 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of over $2.4 billion, or 23.1% annualized, from $20.8 billion at June 30, 2025Added $937.7 million of net new assets under custody during the three months ended December 31, 2025; total assets under custody and/or administration was $44.4 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $43.0 billion at September 30, 2025Book value per share increased to $51.70 at December 31, 2025, up 17.0% from $44.17 at December 31, 2024 Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Income Statement Summary Net income was $128.4 million and diluted EPS was $2.22 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $104.7 million and diluted EPS of $1.80 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net interest income increased $51.6 million or 18.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on secured financings and other borrowings. The provision for credit losses was $25.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $12.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by loan growth and the impact of macroeconomic variables used in the allowance for credit losses model. Non-interest income increased to $53.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher banking and service fee income mainly attributable to operating lease rental and other income from the Verdant acquisition, and higher mortgage banking and servicing rights income. Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses, increased $39.3 million to $184.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $145.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization, mainly attributable to the Verdant acquisition in the prior quarter, higher general and administrative expense, and higher salaries and related costs. Balance Sheet Summary Axos’ total assets increased by $3.4 billion, or 13.8%, to $28.2 billion, at December 31, 2025, from $24.8 billion at June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in loans and other assets, each mainly attributable to the Verdant acquisition in the prior quarter. Total liabilities increased by $3.2 billion, or 14.3%, to $25.3 billion at December 31, 2025, from $22.1 billion at June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to higher deposit balances, as well as secured financings attributable to the Verdant acquisition in the prior quarter. Stockholders’ equity increased $249.4 million, or 9.3%, to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2025 from $2.7 billion at June 30, 2025, primarily due to net income of $240.7 million.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related items (including amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions) and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and Adjusted EPS provide useful information about Axos’ operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition-related costs and other costs provides investors with an alternative understanding of Axos’ core business. Below is a reconciliation of net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for the periods shown: For the Three Months Ended December 31, For the Six Months Ended December 31, (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income $ 128,397 $ 104,687 $ 240,749 $ 217,027 Acquisition-related costs1 2,419 1,645 5,360 4,199 Verdant acquisition - Provision for credit losses — — 7,765 — Income tax effect (649 ) (503 ) (3,415 ) (1,255 ) Adjusted earnings (Non-GAAP) $ 130,167 $ 105,829 $ 250,459 $ 219,971 Average dilutive common shares outstanding 57,731,339 58,226,006 57,792,146 58,262,923 Diluted EPS $ 2.22 $ 1.80 $ 4.17 $ 3.72 Acquisition-related costs1 0.04 0.03 0.09 0.07 Verdant acquisition - Provision for credit losses — — 0.13 — Income tax effect (0.01 ) (0.01 ) (0.06 ) (0.02 ) Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) $ 2.25 $ 1.82 $ 4.33 $ 3.77 1 Acquisition-related costs includes amortization of intangible assets, and for the six months ended December 31, 2025, also includes $1.3 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the Verdant acquisition. We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses. Below is a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, to tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) as of the dates indicated: (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) December 31, 2025 June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Common stockholders’ equity $ 2,930,092 $ 2,680,677 $ 2,521,962 Less: servicing rights, carried at fair value 25,431 27,218 28,045 Less: goodwill and other intangible assets—net 196,119 134,502 137,570 Tangible common stockholders’ equity (Non-GAAP) $ 2,708,542 $ 2,518,957 $ 2,356,347 Common shares outstanding at end of period 56,677,323 56,483,617 57,097,632 Book value per common share $ 51.70 47.46 $ 44.17 Less: servicing rights, carried at fair value per common share 0.45 0.48 0.49 Less: goodwill and other intangible assets—net per common share 3.46 2.38 2.41 Tangible book value per common share (Non-GAAP) $ 47.79 $ 44.60 $ 41.27 Forward-Looking Safe Harbor Statement This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation statements relating to Axos’ financial prospects and other projections of its performance and asset quality, Axos’ deposit balances and capital ratios, Axos’ ability to continue to grow profitably and increase its business, Axos’ ability to continue to diversify its lending and deposit franchises, the anticipated timing and financial performance of other offerings, initiatives, and acquisitions, expectations of the environment in which Axos operates and projections of future performance.
