FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMMUNITY WEST BANCSHARES REPORTS EARNINGS RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2026,
AND QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
FRESNO, CALIFORNIA...July 23, 2026...The Board of Directors of Community West Bancshares (“Company”) (NASDAQ: CWBC), the parent company of Community West Bank (“Bank”), reported today unaudited consolidated net income of $2,695,000, and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $7,832,000 and $0.41 per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company declared a $0.12 per common share cash dividend, payable on August 21, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2026.
"I am pleased to share that this quarter represents the first full quarter for the combined Company following the successful merger with United Security Bancshares and United Security Bank on April 1, 2026. Surpassing $5 billion in total assets marks an exciting milestone in Community West Bank's continued growth and reflects the strength of our expanded franchise," said James J. Kim, CEO and President of the Company and Bank.
"While the quarter included anticipated merger-related expenses associated with bringing our organizations together, the business combination is performing as expected, with early results exceeding our expectations in several key areas. The successful integration of our teams, clients, and operations, continues to reinforce the strength of our organization and our commitment to relationship banking. As we complete the final phase of integration, we remain focused on delivering an exceptional experience for our clients, supporting our communities, and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•On April 1, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced merger (“Merger”) with United Security Bancshares (“USB”) pursuant to which USB merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. Following the Merger, United Security Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of USB, merged with and into Community West Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with the Bank continuing as the surviving entity.
•Net income during the second quarter decreased to $2.70 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $11.49 million and $0.60 per diluted common share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in net income was due to an increase in non-recurring items: an increase in merger expenses of $7,458,000 and a net realized loss on sales and calls of investment securities of $5,899,000, in addition to an increase to the provision for credit losses of $5,545,000 as compared to the trailing quarter.
•The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5,635,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $90,000 during the trailing quarter. The current quarter provision is attributed to a provision for loan losses totaling $6,182,000, partially offset by a credit to the reserve for unfunded commitments of $492,000, and a credit to the reserve for held-to-maturity securities of $55,000. The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an update of the Company’s peer group based on its larger asset size following the completion of the Merger and also from organic loan growth during the quarter.
•Gross loans increased by $992.7 million or 38.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and increased $1.0 billion or 39.47% year-to-date. The fair value of loans acquired from USB was $878.5 million as of April 1, 2026.
•Total deposits increased by $977.9 million or 31.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and $1.0 billion or 33.09% year-to-date. Total deposits acquired as a result of the Merger

was $1.1 billion as of April 1, 2026. Brokered deposits decreased by $73.1 million or 14.30% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and decreased $80.5 million or 15.53% year-to-date.
•Total cost of deposits decreased to 1.31% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to 1.40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and decreased from 1.39% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
•Average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of total average deposits totaled 34.14% and 33.32% for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
•Net interest margin (calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis) increased to 4.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, from 4.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
•Return on average assets was 0.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 1.24% and 0.88% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Return on average assets, excluding the non-core items of merger expenses and net loss on sales/calls of securities, was 1.00% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 1.27% and 0.88% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. See non-GAAP disclosures for more information.
•Return on average equity was 1.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 10.99% and 8.30% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Return on average equity, excluding the non-core items of merger expenses and net loss on sales/calls of securities, was 8.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 11.18% and 8.31% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. See non-GAAP disclosures for more information.
•Capital positions remained strong at June 30, 2026 with a 9.79% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio; a 11.41% Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio; a 11.53% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio; and a 13.63% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.
"Second quarter 2026 results reflect several anticipated, non-recurring merger-related items, including integration expenses, the repositioning of a portion of the investment portfolio, and an increased provision for credit losses.
Importantly, the higher provision reflects the Company's larger balance sheet and reserve methodology associated with the expanded organization and peer group, rather than any broad trends of declining credit quality.” said Shannon Livingston, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
“These strategic actions position the Company for stronger long-term performance. Excluding these anticipated one-time items, our core operating performance remained strong, demonstrating the strength and earnings capacity of the combined Company, while positioning the organization for future growth."

Total average loans increased by $662,010,000 to $3,008,254,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $2,346,244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective yield on average loans was 6.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 6.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 4.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 4.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, increased by $17,608,000 or 52.87%, to $50,912,000 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $33,304,000 for the same period in 2025. In addition to the increase in average loans due to the Merger with USB and organic loan growth, the Company's yield on interest earning assets has increased from 5.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to 5.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, the Company benefited from a decrease in the cost on interest-bearing liabilities, in which the cost of total deposits decreased to 1.31% from 1.43% when comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The decrease in the cost of deposits is primarily attributed to the addition of the USB deposit portfolio which carried an overall lower interest cost. Net interest margin during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and March 31, 2026 benefited by approximately 44 basis points ($4,960,000), 31 basis points ($2,588,000), and 25 basis points ($2,098,000), respectively, from the net accretion of fair value marks.

The decreases in non-interest income quarter-to-date and year-to-date were primarily due to net realized losses on sales and calls of investment securities as part of the Company’s strategic repositioning of the balance sheet. The investment sales proceeds were reinvested into higher yielding investment securities and will be accretive to income in future quarters. Partially offsetting these losses were increases in service charges, interchange fees, loan placement fees, bank-owned life insurance income, and other income, all of which benefited from the expanded customer and asset base resulting from the Merger with USB completed on April 1, 2026.

Balance Sheet Summary
The acquisition of USB has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, intangibles recognized and consideration exchanged was recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. We recorded the fair values based on the valuations available as of reporting date. In accordance with business combination accounting guidance, we will continue to evaluate these fair values for up to one year following the Merger date of April 1, 2026. While management believes the information available and presented below provide a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, we may obtain additional information and evidence during the measurement period that could result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. Valuation subject to change include, but not limited to, loans and leases, deposits, deferred tax items, and certain other assets and liabilities.

Credit Quality
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $5,498,000 compared to $13,000 for the same period in 2025. The primary reason for the increase in loan charge-offs during the quarter was due to $2.6 million in charge-offs within an acquired student loan portfolio from the Merger, in which the Company recorded a Day 1 allowance of $9.5 million in anticipation of future charge-offs in this portfolio segment. Additionally, the Company charged off one commercial real estate loan that was individually evaluated and had a specific reserve in prior quarters. The net charge-off ratio reflects annualized net charge-offs to average loans of 0.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.00% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, non-accrual loans decreased $3,240,000 to $19,757,000 compared to $22,997,000 at March 31, 2026 and increased $12,802,000 year-to-date to $19,757,000 compared to $6,955,000 at December 31, 2025. The quarter-to-date increase in substandard loans is attributable primarily to the Merger with USB, which contributed $30 million in substandard loan balances. While total dollar balances of substandard loans increased relative to the prior quarter, the ratio of substandard loans to total loans remained consistent with the trailing quarter.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a $6,182,000 provision for loan losses, compared to $2,640,000 for the same period in 2025. The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an update of the Company’s peer group based on its larger asset size following the completion of the Merger and also from organic loan growth during the quarter. In addition to the provision for credit losses on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities of $55,000 as compared to $188,000 in the prior year quarter.

At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans was $50,345,000, compared to $30,071,000 at December 31, 2025, a net increase of $20,274,000 reflecting a provision for loan losses of $6,304,000 and net charge-offs during the period. The primary driver of this increase was the acquisition of USB, which contributed $19.4 million in Day 1 allowance balances across all portfolio segments. As a result of the Company's early adoption of ASU 2025-08, a Day 1 allowance for credit losses was established for acquired loans at the Merger date. Excluding the impact of the Day 1 allowance, the allowance grew modestly, reflecting a provision for credit losses of $6.2 million, partially offset by net charge-offs of

$5.5 million during the quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.42% as of June 30, 2026 compared to 1.18% at December 31, 2025. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for expected credit losses within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2026.
