Exhibit 99.1
FIRST BUSINESS BANK ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND 17% CASH DIVIDEND INCREASE
-- Continued balance sheet growth and operating efficiency drive strong earnings and tangible book value expansion --
-- 17% increase in quarterly cash dividend announced, marking 14th consecutive annual increase --
MADISON, Wis., January 29, 2026 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”, the “Bank”, or “First Business Bank”) (Nasdaq: FBIZ) reported quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $13.1 million, or earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.58. This compares to net income available to common shareholders of $14.2 million, or $1.70 per share, in the third quarter of 2025 and $14.2 million, or $1.71 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“First Business Bank continued to produce strong deposit and loan growth that outpaced the industry, expanding client relationships and driving outstanding financial performance during the fourth quarter,” said Corey Chambas, Chief Executive Officer. “We concluded 2025 with positive momentum. Our revenue growth goals continued to be supported by robust loan pipelines, expansion of our private wealth platform, core deposit growth, and diversified fee income sources. While we saw an increase in nonperforming loans due to a single client relationship, we continue to experience stable credit quality across our performing portfolio. We are pleased to report strong profitability despite this isolated event. We are on track with our five-year strategic plan, achieving 10% growth in top-line revenue and maintaining an efficiency ratio below 60%. This momentum continued to drive above-target performance on return on average tangible common equity and growth in tangible book value for 2025."
“We continued our track record of producing double-digit annual growth, exceeding 14% growth in both pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted earnings and earnings per share in 2025," Chambas continued. "We are particularly proud that we have sustained 10% compound average annual growth in earnings per share for the past 20 years. This consistent growth in earnings has supported our ability to provide shareholders a strong cash dividend that has grown for 14 consecutive years. We continue to target double-digit growth going forward."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2025
Net interest income decreased $124,000, or 0.4%, to $34.8 million.
The Bank reported provision for credit losses of $1.9 million compared to $1.4 million in the linked quarter. The current quarter provision primarily reflects net charge-offs and loan growth, partially offset by improvement in the economic outlook in our model forecast and a decrease in general reserve qualitative factors. Specific reserves were flat reflecting a decrease in reserve requirements in equipment finance lending offset by an increase in reserves in accounts receivable financing.
Non-interest income decreased $2.2 million, or 22.6%, to $7.5 million.
3
Non-interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 6.1%, to $24.1 million, while operating expense decreased $1.5 million, or 6.0%, to $23.9 million.
Income tax expense decreased $88,000 to $2.9 million. The effective tax rate was 17.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 17.2% for the linked quarter. The change in tax expense reflects a decrease in pre-tax income and updated tax credit partnership estimates. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 16.8%. The Company expects to report an effective tax rate between 16% and 18% for 2026.
Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $38.6 million, or 4.6% annualized, to $3.375 billion. Loan growth was muted due to elevated commercial real estate loan payoffs in the second half of 2025. The average rate earned on average loans and leases receivable was 6.77%, down 33 basis points from 7.10% in the prior quarter. Excluding the non-accrual interest reversals and recoveries, the average rate earned on average loans and leases receivable was 6.87% compared to 7.06% in the linked quarter.
Total period-end core deposits increased $80.9 million, or 12.5% annualized, to $2.673 billion. The average rate paid was 2.64%, down 25 basis points from 2.89% in the prior quarter primarily due to a decrease in short-term market rates.
Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits, decreased $48.2 million, or 5.1%, to $904.7 million due to an increase in core deposits. Consistent with the Bank’s long-held philosophy to minimize exposure to interest rate risk, management will continue to utilize the most efficient and cost-effective source of wholesale funds to match-fund fixed-rate loans, as necessary.
Non-performing assets increased $20.3 million to $43.9 million, or 1.07% of total assets, compared to 0.58% in the prior quarter. The increase primarily reflects the downgrade of $20.4 million of CRE loans from a single southeast Wisconsin-based client relationship. Management has evaluated the Bank's collateral position of these loans and concluded no specific reserves are required. This increase in non-performing assets was partially offset by lower non-accrual equipment finance loans.
The allowance for credit losses, including the unfunded credit commitments reserve, decreased $690,000, or 1.8%, primarily due to decreases in general reserves due to an improvement in the economic outlook in our model forecast, improvement in qualitative factors, and a decrease in specific reserves, partially offset by loan growth, general reserve model updates, and an increase in unfunded commitment reserves. The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded credit commitment reserves, as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.12% compared to 1.15% in the prior quarter.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2024
Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 4.9%, to $34.8 million.
4
The Company reported provision for credit losses of $1.9 million, compared to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. See the Provision for Credit Loss breakdown table below for more detail.
Non-interest income decreased $544,000, or 6.8%, to $7.5 million.
5
Non-interest expense increased $978,000, or 4.2%, to $24.1 million. Operating expense increased $467,000 or 2.0%, to $23.9 million.
Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $261.4 million, or 8.4%, to $3.375 billion. The average yield decreased 44 basis points to 6.77%, primarily due to a decrease in short-term market rates and the aforementioned non-accrual interest reversal. Excluding the non-accrual interest reversal, average yield was 6.87%.
Total period-end core deposits grew $276.6 million, or 11.5%, to $2.673 billion. The average rate paid decreased 34 basis points to 2.64%, reflecting a decrease in short-term market rates.
Period-end wholesale funding decreased $71.3 million, or 7.3%, to $904.7 million.
Non-performing assets increased to $43.9 million, or 1.07% of total assets, compared to $28.4 million, or 0.74% of total assets, primarily driven by the downgrade of $20.4 million of CRE loans from a single client relationship, partially offset by lower non-accrual equipment finance loans.
The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded commitment reserves, increased $424,000 to $37.7 million primarily due to higher general reserves as a result of loan growth and quantitative factors, partially offset by lower specific reserves. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.12%, compared with 1.20% in the prior year.
Dividend Increase Announced
On January 29, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.34 per share, which is equivalent to a dividend yield of 2.45% based on the market close price of $55.44 on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The quarterly dividend represents a 17% increase over the quarterly dividend declared in October 2025 and marks the 14th consecutive annual dividend raise. Based on fourth quarter 2025 earnings per share, this represents a dividend payout ratio of 22%. This regular cash dividend is payable on February 28, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2026.
The Board of Directors also declared a dividend on the Company’s 7% Series A Preferred Stock of $17.50 per share, payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 27, 2026.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Certain financial information provided in this release is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States) (“GAAP”). Although the Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies.
TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE
“Tangible book value per share” is a non-GAAP measure representing tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. “Tangible common equity” itself is a non-GAAP measure representing common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in period-to-period changes in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information provided below reconciles tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to their most comparable GAAP measures.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY TO TANGIBLE ASSETS
“Tangible common equity to tangible assets” (“TCE”) is defined as the ratio of common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any, divided by total assets reduced by intangible assets, if any. Adjusted TCE ratio is defined as TCE adjusted for net fair value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities. For more information on fair value adjustments please refer to Note 19 - Fair Value Disclosures in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information below reconciles tangible common equity and tangible assets to their most comparable GAAP measures.

EFFICIENCY RATIO & PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION ADJUSTED EARNINGS
“Efficiency ratio” is a non-GAAP measure representing non-interest expense excluding the effects of the SBA recourse provision, impairment of tax credit investments, losses or gains on repossessed assets, amortization of other intangible assets and other discrete items, if any, divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income less realized gains or losses on securities, if any. “Pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted earnings” is defined as operating revenue less operating expense. In the judgment of the Company’s management, the adjustments made to non-interest expense and non-interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company’s operating expenses in relation to its core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items. The information provided below reconciles the efficiency ratio and pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted earnings to its most comparable GAAP measure.

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including among other things: (i) Adverse changes in the economy or business conditions, either nationally or in our markets, including, without limitation, inflation, economic downturn, labor shortages, wage pressures, and the adverse effects of public health events on the global, national, and local economy; (ii) Uncertainty created by potential federal government actions relating to the authority of regulatory agencies (including bank regulators), international trade policy, and other significant matters;(iii) Competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions nationally and in our markets; (iv) Increases in defaults by borrowers and other delinquencies; (v) Our ability to manage growth effectively, including the successful expansion of our client support, administrative infrastructure, and internal management systems; (vi) Fluctuations in interest rates and market prices; (vii) Changes in legislative or regulatory requirements applicable to us and our subsidiaries; (viii) Changes in tax requirements, including tax rate changes, new tax laws, and revised tax law interpretations; (ix) Fraud, including client and system failure or breaches of our network security, including our internet banking activities; (x) Failure to comply with the applicable SBA regulations in order to maintain the eligibility of the guaranteed portions of SBA loans. (xi) Ongoing volatility in the banking sector may result in new legislation, regulations or policy changes that could subject the Corporation and the Bank to increased government regulation and supervision, (xii) the proportion of the Corporation’s deposit account balances that exceed FDIC insurance limits may expose the Bank to enhanced liquidity risk, and (xiii) The Corporation may be subject to increases in FDIC insurance assessments. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from what FBIZ has anticipated or projected. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated or projected. These risk factors and uncertainties should be carefully considered by our shareholders and potential investors. For further information about the factors that could affect the Corporation’s future results, please see the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Where any such forward‐looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward‐looking statement, FBIZ cautions that, while its management believes such assumptions or bases are reasonable and are made in good faith, assumed facts or bases can vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending on the circumstances. Where, in any forward‐looking statement, an expectation or belief is expressed as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished. FBIZ does not intend to, and specifically disclaims any obligation to, update any forward‐looking statements. Forward-Looking Statements
