Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Primis Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FRST) is the bank holding company for Primis Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank, that commenced operations on April 14, 2005. Primis Bank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. As of September 30, 2025, Primis Bank had 24 full-service branches in Virginia and Maryland and also provides services to customers through certain online and mobile applications. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, the Company has an administrative office in Glen Allen, Virginia and an operations center in Atlee, Virginia. PMC, a residential mortgage lender headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, is a consolidated subsidiary of Primis Bank. PFH owns the rights to the Panacea Financial brand and its intellectual property and partners with the Bank to offer a suite of financial products and services for doctors, their practices, and ultimately the broader healthcare industry. PFH was deconsolidated from the Company on March 31, 2025, as further discussed below in “PFH Deconsolidation and Sale of Shares”. The operating results of PFH were included in the Company’s consolidated operating results through March 31, 2025.

Basis of Financial Information

The accounting policies and practices of Primis and its subsidiaries conform to GAAP and follow general practices within the banking industry. A discussion of the Company’s material accounting policies is located in our 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s accounting policies. There have not been any significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Primis and its subsidiaries, Primis Bank and PMC. The results of operations for PFH are included in the Company’s results of operations until its deconsolidation as of March 31, 2025, as further described below. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Primis consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights or where it exercises control. Entities where Primis holds 20 to 50 percent of the voting rights, or has the ability to exercise significant influence, or both, are accounted for under the equity method. Primis owns EVB Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), which is an unconsolidated subsidiary and the junior subordinated debt owed to the Trust is reported as a liability of Primis.

We determine whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a VIE under GAAP. Voting interest entities are entities in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. We consolidate voting interest entities in which we have all, or at least a majority of, the voting interest. As defined in GAAP, VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s 8

Table of Contents economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. The Company has investments in VIE’s for which we are not the primary beneficiary and, as such, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

PFH Deconsolidation and Sale of Shares

On December 21, 2023, PFH completed a $25 million Series B financing round led by a global venture capital firm. As part of the financing round, Primis acquired approximately 19% of PFH’s common stock for an immaterial purchase price due to previous operating losses in the Bank’s Panacea Financial Division. The Company performed an analysis and determined that PFH is a VIE because it lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. The Company’s analysis further determined that it has a controlling financial interest in PFH due to the substantial historical activities between PFH and the Bank’s Panacea Financial Division combined with the limited activities of PFH outside of its relationship with Primis. Further, there are employees of Primis that have historically carried out substantially all of the activities of PFH. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of PFH and consolidated it as of December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2025, the three primary executives of PFH resigned from their positions as management-level employees of Primis’ Panacea Financial Division of the Bank. Additionally, Primis and PFH amended their partnership agreement as of March 31, 2025 to allow PFH more control over the type and amount of lending it can perform through the Bank. As a result of these changes in the relationship between the Company and PFH, a re-assessment of PFH under the VIE accounting guidance was performed. The Company determined that PFH continues to be a VIE because it lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. However, as of March 31, 2025, the Company has determined, based on the relationship changes described above, that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated PFH as of March 31, 2025.

Upon deconsolidation, the Company performed an analysis of its 2 million common share investment in PFH. The Company determined that based on a combination of its level of voting share ownership (19% of total outstanding voting shares), along with meaningful continued involvement in PFH’s lending and operating activities, the investment met the requirements to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. As of the time of deconsolidation and initial application of ASC 323, the Company decided to elect the FVO allowed under ASC 323 and accounted for its investment in PFH common stock as of March 31, 2025 at fair value under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The FVO is irrevocable and must be used in all future periods following election.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a gain from deconsolidation of PFH of $25 million, which is recorded in the income statement in “Gain on Panacea Financial Holdings investment” within noninterest income. The gain resulted from recognition, as of the deconsolidation date of March 31, 2025, of the Company’s retained interest in PFH common stock of $21 million, at fair value, and the deconsolidation as of the same date of noncontrolling interest in PFH of $10 million and PFH’s net assets of $6 million. The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform a valuation of the Company’s PFH common shares as of March 31, 2025. The valuation included an assessment of the value of PFH primarily using an income approach leveraging a discounted cash flow technique. Key inputs and assumptions in the valuation included projected financial growth of PFH driven by future loan growth assumptions, growth in new services offerings of PFH, and cost savings from fundings provided by customer growth. Following deconsolidation, the Company continues to originate loans for PFH through its Panacea Division of the Bank, retaining some of the originated loans and selling the remaining. Any loans retained by the Company will be included within net loans in the balance sheet and will be included in the Company’s determination of future expected credit losses, which is the Company’s primary exposure to losses as a result of its continued involvement with PFH. For any originated loans that are intended to be sold, the Company will also include these on its balance sheet until the time of sale but through an agreement with PFH, any exposure to a decline in value prior to sale will be reimbursed to the Company by PFH. The 9

Table of Contents Company will also continue, through the Division, to provide loan origination support to PFH and the servicing of loans retained by the Division.

On June 12, 2025, the Company signed a non-binding term sheet to sell a portion of its retained ownership in PFH common shares after the deconsolidation that generated proceeds to the Company of $22 million. Following the sale of these shares, the Company continued to hold approximately 467 thousand shares in PFH. The Company utilizes a third-party valuation specialist to value these shares at each quarter end to support the Company’s recording of its investment at fair value as previously discussed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $8 million in the income statement in “Gain on Panacea Financial Holdings investment” within noninterest income related to the sale of PFH common shares and fair value adjustments on its remaining investment.

Following deconsolidation, the Company determined that any transactions between the Company and PFH would be related party transactions under relevant accounting guidance. The primary transactions between the Company and PFH relate to quarterly payments between the parties driven by financial performance of loans PFH originates in the Division of the Bank. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a payable of $200 thousand included within other liabilities on the balance sheet related to this payment due to PFH. As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not hold any assets on its balance sheet related to PFH that could be used by PFH to settle their obligations. The Company does not have an obligation to provide any future monetary support to PFH. The maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2025 as a result of continued involvement with PFH is the common stock investment of $7 million and any potential credit losses on loans originated in the division of the Bank as discussed above.

Disposition of the Life Premium Finance Division

On October 24, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with EverBank, N.A. (“EverBank”) for the sale of the Company’s Life Premium Finance division (“LPF”). EverBank acquired LPF from the Company, except for a subset of mostly fixed rate and rate-capped loans that were retained by the Bank. All of the LPF operations, including its employees, were assumed by EverBank following the close of the transaction, which took place in two parts. EverBank acquired approximately $370 million of loans from the division at a $6 million premium at the first close on October 31, 2024. Between the first and second closing on January 31, 2025, EverBank purchased loans generated by the division in ordinary course at par. The Bank provided interim servicing from the first closing until the transition of the business at the final closing, when EverBank began servicing the purchased loans and serviced the Bank’s retained portfolio for the duration of the portfolio. From the first closing through December 31, 2024, the Bank sold approximately $400 million of loans and related accrued interest and recorded a pre-tax gain of $5 million, net of advisory and legal fees. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank had an additional $51 million of loans to be sold to EverBank which were recorded in loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market. The Bank subsequently sold approximately $64 million of additional loans at par to EverBank (inclusive of the loans in held for sale at year end) from January 1, 2025 through the second closing on January 31, 2025.

Operating Segments

The Company, through its Bank subsidiary, provides a broad range of financial services. While the Company’s chief operating decision maker monitors the revenue streams of the various financial products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization-wide basis. Management has determined that the Company has two reportable operating segments: Primis Mortgage and Primis Bank, as discussed in Note 11 – Segment Information.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim 10

Table of Contents periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term include: the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of investment securities, the credit impairment of investment securities, the mortgage banking derivatives, interest rate swap derivatives, Consumer Program derivatives, the valuation of goodwill, and deferred tax assets. Management monitors and continually reassess these at each reporting period.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of business through its core lending operations. Primarily to help mitigate interest rate risk associated with its loan portfolio, the Company entered into interest rate swaps in May and August of 2023 with a large U.S. financial institution as the counterparty. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements whereby one party pays a floating interest rate on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed-rate payment on the same notional principal, or vice versa, for a fixed period of time. Interest rate swaps change in value with movements in benchmark interest rates, such as Prime or SOFR. Interest rate swaps subject the Company to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, changes in interest rate volatility, as well as the credit risk that the counterparty will fail to perform. The Company’s interest rate swaps are pay-fixed and receive-floating whereby the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on SOFR.

As of September 30, 2025, the gross amounts of interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities were $196 thousand and $333 thousand, respectively, and are recorded net in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the gross amounts of interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities were $1 million and $248 thousand, respectively, and are recorded net in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. One of the Company’s three interest rate swaps matured in May of 2025 and the remaining two swaps mature in May and August of 2026.

The following table represents the carrying value of the portfolio layer method hedged assets and the cumulative fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value of the hedged assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Fixed rate assets $ 727,236 $ 150,103 $ 103 $ 818,375 $ 249,190 $ (810)

Treasury Stock

On December 19, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) under which the Company may repurchase up to 740,600 shares of its outstanding common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program began on December 19, 2024, near the end of the previously authorized repurchase plan, and will end on December 19, 2025. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company. The Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, without prior notice.

In June 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 79,549 shares of its common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program at an average cost of $10.00 per share and recorded the stock in Treasury Stock in Stockholders’ Equity at its repurchase cost of $807 thousand. At the date of repurchase, Stockholders' Equity was reduced by the repurchase price. If 11

Table of Contents the Company subsequently reissues treasury shares, Treasury Stock is reduced by the cost of such stock with differences recorded in additional paid-in capital or retained earnings, as applicable. The remaining buyback authority under the Stock Repurchase Program was 661,051 shares as of September 30, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires annual disclosure of certain information relating to the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid by jurisdiction, income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The ASU also eliminates certain requirements relating to unrecognized tax benefits and certain deferred tax disclosure relating to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual disclosures beginning for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to the annual financial statement disclosures in its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03*, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*. This ASU requires more disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses but does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement. In January 2025, FASB issued an update ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), clarifying the effective date. The amendments in this standard will be effective for the Company’s annual disclosures beginning for the year ended December 31, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2028, and is required to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03*, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810) – Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity*. This ASU modifies the Topic 805 framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations when the legal acquiree is a VIE. Existing guidance states the primary beneficiary is the accounting acquirer of a VIE in a business combination even if Topic 805’s general factors used to identify the accounting acquirer (which apply to other business combinations) suggest that the transaction would otherwise be a reverse acquisition. This ASU modifies existing guidance by limiting situations in which entities must identify the primary beneficiary as the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations and requiring entities to consider the general factors in Topic 805 when a business combination involving a VIE is primarily effected through exchanging equity interests. The ASU is to be applied prospectively to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 for all entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) – Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-use Software. This ASU is intended to modernize old internal-use software guidance that is twenty years old to adapt to the agile (i.e., iterative and flexible) basis predominantly used to develop software today. The key changes to the guidance include (i) eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages, (ii) enhancing the guidance around the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold, (iii) modifying the website development costs guidance by eliminating Subtopic 350-50 and relocating any remaining relevant guidance into Subtopic 350-40, and (iv) providing new examples to illustrate the applications of the updated guidance. The ASU allows entities to adopt the guidance either (1) retrospectively, (2) prospectively to software costs incurred after the adoption date (i.e. on existing, in-process software projects or new projects) or (3) on a modified prospective basis. The ASU is effective for the Company starting in annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued 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 ASU expands the population of contracts that are excluded from the scope of derivative accounting. It also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606 initially applies to share- 12

Table of Contents based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The ASU adds a scope exception from derivative accounting for nonexchange traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The ASU also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606 applies initially to share-based noncash consideration (e.g., shares, share options or other equity instruments) received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The guidance in other ASCs, including derivatives (ASC 815) and equity securities (ASC 321), is not applied unless and until the entity’s right to receive or retain the share-based noncash consideration is unconditional under ASC 606. The ASU allows entities to adopt the guidance either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for the Company starting in annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $134 million and $141 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, certain other deposits, a line of credit for advances from the FHLB of Atlanta, and repurchase agreements.

Management measures expected credit losses on HTM securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Regarding U.S. Treasury and residential mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, or agencies thereof, it is expected that the securities will not be settled at prices less than the amortized cost basis of the securities as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of and/or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. Regarding securities issued by states and political subdivisions and other HTM securities, management considers (i) issuer bond ratings, (ii) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities and (iv) internal forecasts. As of September 30, 2025, Primis did not have a material allowance for credit losses on HTM securities.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 148 and 155, respectively, of investment securities AFS that were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses related to investment securities AFS as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, relate to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and do not indicate credit-related impairment. Primis performs quantitative analysis and if needed, a qualitative analysis in this determination. As a result of the Company’s analysis, none of the securities were deemed to require an allowance for credit loss. Primis has the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses. 15

Loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or market

As of September 30, 2025, $54 million of commercial loans were included in loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or market, based on the Company’s decision to sell the loans. As of December 31, 2024, $113 million of Consumer Program loans and $51 million of life premium finance loans were included in loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or market, based on the Company’s decision to sell the loans. The life premium finance loans were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. At March 31, 2025, the Company determined it would no longer sell the Consumer Program loans and has the intent and ability to hold these loans for the foreseeable future as it intends to run off the portfolio and therefore transferred the loans back to the consumer loans category within loans held for investment at their amortized cost of $102 million as of that date.

Consumer Program Loans

The Company had $101 million and $152 million of amortized cost balance of loans outstanding in the Consumer Program as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, or 3% and 5%, respectively of our total gross loan portfolio as of each date. Loans in the Consumer Program are included within the consumer loans category disclosures in this footnote as of September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $113 million is included in loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or market, and $39 million in the consumer loans category in loans held for investment. As of September 30, 2025, 7% of the loans were in a promotional period requiring no payment of interest, with 91% of these promotional loan periods ending in the fourth quarter of 2025 through the second quarter of 2026. 17

Table of Contents Accrued Interest Receivable

Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $17 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. In determining whether or not a borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations for each class of loans, we consider the borrower’s debt service capacity through the analysis of current financial information, if available, and/or current information with regards to our collateral position. Regulatory provisions typically require the placement of a loan on nonaccrual status if (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which is typically evidenced by a sustained period (at least six months) of repayment performance by the borrower.

Modifications Provided to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently delinquent on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly for commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rates for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers.

The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the time a concession has been granted is inherently subjective in nature, and management’s judgment is required when determining whether the concession results in a modification that is accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan under GAAP.

Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, loans modified as a result of borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are typically modified through reductions in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.  Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies 21

Table of Contents certain loans by providing principal forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the loan is written off against the allowance. 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.

If it is determined that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. At that time, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The following table provides a summary of the amortized cost basis of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the related percentage of the class of the loan portfolio period-end balance by the type of modification as of September 30, 2025, excluding Consumer Program loans ($ in thousands):

Consumer Program Modifications

The Company began offering modifications to Consumer Program borrowers beginning on January 1, 2025, in an attempt to enhance collections of delinquent loans and mitigate charge-offs. The primary type of modifications were principal forgiveness of portions of outstanding principal owed and a combination of term modifications to extend maturity dates and interest rate reductions (primarily on promotional loans). 22

Credit Quality Indicators

Through its system of internal controls, Primis evaluates and segments loan portfolio credit quality using regulatory definitions for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful. Special Mention loans are considered “criticized”, while loans classified as Substandard or Doubtful are considered “classified”.

Special Mention loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserve 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.

Substandard loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged if any. Loans so classified 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 have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable. Primis had one loan classified as Doubtful as of September 30, 2025 and none as of December 31, 2024.

In monitoring credit quality trends in the context of assessing the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses on loans, we monitor portfolio credit quality by the weighted-average risk grade of each class of loan. 23

Allowance For Credit Losses – Loans

The allowance for credit losses on loans is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326 that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on loans considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing collectability over the loans' contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The accounting policy related to the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical policy given the level of estimation, judgment, and uncertainty in the levels of the allowance required to account for the expected losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect such estimation, judgment, and uncertainty can have on the consolidated financial results.

In calculating the allowance for credit losses, most loans are segmented into pools based upon similar characteristics and risk profiles. For allowance modeling purposes, our loan pools include but are not limited to (i) commercial real estate - owner occupied, (ii) commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, (iii) construction and land development, (iv) commercial, (v) agricultural loans, (vi) residential 1-4 family and (vii) consumer loans. We periodically reassess each pool to ensure the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. For each loan pool, we measure expected credit losses over the life of each loan utilizing 27

Table of Contents a combination of inputs: (i) probability of default, (ii) probability of attrition, (iii) loss given default and (iv) exposure at default. Internal data is supplemented by, but not replaced by, peer data when required, primarily to determine the probability of default input. The various pool-specific inputs may be adjusted for current macroeconomic assumptions. Significant macroeconomic variables utilized in our allowance models include, among other things, (i) National Gross Domestic Product, (ii) Virginia House Price Index, and (iii) Virginia unemployment rates.

Management applies qualitative adjustments to model results for risk factors that are not considered within our quantitative modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. Qualitative factor (“Q-Factor”) adjustments are driven by key risk indicators that management tracks on a pool-by-pool basis.

In some cases, management may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate the loan from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation.

The following tables present details of the allowance for credit losses on loans segregated by loan portfolio segment as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, calculated in accordance with ASC 326 ($ in thousands).

Generally, a commercial loan, or a portion thereof, is charged-off when it is determined, through the analysis of any available current financial information with regards to the borrower, that the borrower is incapable of servicing unsecured debt, there is little or no prospect for near term improvement and no realistic strengthening action of significance is pending or, in the case of secured debt, when it is determined, through analysis of current information with regards to our collateral position, that amounts due from the borrower are in excess of the calculated current fair value of the collateral. Losses on installment loans are recognized in accordance with regulatory guidelines. All other consumer loan losses are recognized when delinquency exceeds 120 cumulative days except for the Consumer Program loans that are charged-off once they become 90 days past due.

Table of Contents 4.      DERIVATIVES

Consumer Program Derivative

The Company has a derivative instrument in connection with its agreement with a third-party that originates loans that are held on the Company’s balance sheet. The third-party provides credit support and reimbursement for lost interest under the agreement, and the Company provides performance fees to the third-party on performing loans. Specifically, a portion of the originated loans are originated with a promotional period where interest accrues on the loans but is not owed to the Company unless and until the loan begins to amortize. If the borrower prepays the principal on the loan prior to the end of the promotional period, the accrued interest is waived but becomes due to the Company from the third-party under the agreement. This expected payment of waived interest to the Company along with performance fees due to the third-party comprise the value of the derivative. The fair value of the derivative instrument was an asset of immaterial value and $5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The underlying cash flows were immaterial and $5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company calculates the fair value of this derivative using a discounted cash flow model using inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate the fair value. The most significant inputs and assumptions in determining the value of the derivative are noted below ($ in thousands).

Mortgage Banking Derivatives and Financial Instruments

The Company enters into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 90 days), with borrowers who have applied for a loan and have met certain credit and underwriting criteria. The IRLCs are adjusted for estimated costs to originate the loan as well as the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC (the pull through rate). Estimated costs to originate include loan officer commissions and overrides. The pull through rate is estimated on changes in market conditions, loan stage, and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of IRLC closing rates. The Company obtains an analysis from a third party on a monthly basis to support the reasonableness of the pull through estimate.

Best efforts and mandatory forward loan sale commitments are commitments to sell individual mortgage loans using both best efforts and mandatory delivery at a fixed price to an investor at a future date. Forward loan sale commitments that are mandatory delivery are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value, determined as the amount that would be necessary to settle the derivative financial instrument at the balance sheet date. Forward loan sale commitments that are best efforts are not derivatives but can be and have been accounted for at fair value, determined in a similar manner to those that are mandatory delivery. Forward loan sale commitments are recorded on the balance sheet as derivative assets 31

The notional amounts of mortgage loans held for sale not committed to investors was $74 million and $55 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company has exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by its trading counterparties in derivative instruments that the Company uses in its rate risk management activities. The Company manages this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that the Company believes to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate.

Table of Contents 5.      FAIR VALUE

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as 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

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The fair value of junior subordinated debt and senior subordinated notes are based on current rates for similar financing. The carrying amount of Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities are not readily marketable and are based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material. The fair value of net loans, time deposits, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes are measured using the exit-price notion. The net loans that use level 2 inputs are related to the portfolio of loans underlying our interest rate swaps as previously discussed in “Note 1 – Accounting Policies”.

Table of Contents 6.      LEASES

The Company leases certain premises under operating leases. In recognizing lease right-of-use assets and related liabilities, we account for lease and non-lease components (such as taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs) separately as such amounts are generally readily determinable under our lease contracts. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had operating lease liabilities totaling $11 million and $12 million, respectively, and right-of-use assets totaling $9 million and $10 million, respectively, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these leases. We do not currently have any financing leases. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our net operating lease costs were $1 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our net operating lease costs were $2 million for both periods. These net operating lease costs are reflected in occupancy expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table presents other information related to our operating leases:

Table of Contents 7.     DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS

Other borrowings can consist of FHLB convertible advances, FHLB overnight advances, FHLB advances maturing within one year, federal funds purchased, Federal Reserve Board Discount Window, secured borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repo”) that mature within one year, which are secured transactions with customers. The balance in repo accounts as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $4 million.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had pledged callable agency securities, residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with a carrying value of $7 million to customers who require collateral for overnight repurchase agreements and deposits.

As of September 30, 2025, Primis Bank had lendable collateral value in the form of residential 1-4 family mortgages, HELOCs, commercial mortgage loans, and investment securities supporting borrowing capacity of approximately $537 million from the FHLB.

In June 2023, the Bank took the necessary steps to participate in the Federal Reserve discount window borrowing program. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank had borrowing capacity of $595 million within the program and has not borrowed under the program.

In 2017, the Company assumed $10 million of trust preferred securities that were issued on September 17, 2003 and placed through a trust in a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $650 million. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $10 million outstanding, net of approximately $394 thousand and $431 thousand of debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest rate payable on the trust preferred securities was 7.23% and 7.56%, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, all of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital.

On January 20, 2017, Primis completed the sale of $27 million of its fixed-to-floating rate senior Subordinated Notes due 2027. Interest is currently payable at an annual floating rate equal to three-month CME Term SOFR plus a tenor spread adjustment of 0.26% until maturity or early redemption. As of September 30, 2025, 20% of these Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital.

On August 25, 2020, Primis completed the sale of $60 million of its fixed-to-floating rate Subordinated Notes due 2030. Interest was payable at an initial annual fixed rate of 5.40% and after September 1, 2025, at a floating rate equal to Three-Month Term SOFR, plus a spread of 531 basis points. As of September 30, 2025, all of these notes qualified as Tier 2 capital.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the senior Subordinated Notes totaled $1 million.

Secured Borrowings

The Company transferred $1 million and $23 million in principal balance of loans to another financial institution in 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were accounted for as secured borrowings. The balance of secured borrowings was $15  million and $17 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and the remaining amortized cost balance of the underlying loans was $15 million and $17 million, respectively. None of the loans underlying the secured borrowings were past due 30 days or greater or on nonaccrual as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and were all internally rated as “pass” loans as presented in our “credit quality indicators” section of “Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses”. The loans were included in our allowance for credit losses process and an allowance was calculated on the loans as part of their inclusion in a pool with other loans with similar credit risk characteristics. There were no charge-offs of the loans underlying the secured borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The underlying loans collateralize the borrowings and cannot be sold or pledged by the Company. 37

Table of Contents 8.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”) has a maximum number of 750,000 shares reserved for issuance. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing greater incentives to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to associate their personal financial interests with the long-term financial success of the Company, including its subsidiaries, and with growth in stockholder value, consistent with the Company’s risk management practices.

Table of Contents These Units are subject to service and performance conditions and vest based on the achievement of both conditions. Achievement of the performance condition will be determined at the end of the five-year performance period (the “Performance Period”) by evaluating the: (1) Company’s adjusted earnings per share compound annual growth measured for the Performance Period and (2) performance factor achieved. Payouts between performance levels will be determined based on straight line interpolation.

The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 as a result of the probability of a portion of the Units vesting because it is not probable that these Units will vest. The potential unrecognized compensation expense associated with these Units was $4 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents 9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Primis 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 guarantees of credit card accounts. These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Primis to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $20 million and $10 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments. Primis uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which Primis is exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recorded if the Company has the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed above. For the period of exposure, the estimate of expected credit losses considers both the likelihood that funding will occur, and the amount expected to be funded over the estimated remaining life of the commitment or other off-balance sheet exposure. The likelihood and expected amount of funding are based on historical utilization rates. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the contractual life of the commitment. Estimating credit losses on amounts expected to be funded uses the same methodology as described for loans in Note 3 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, as if such commitments were funded. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is reflected in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures ($ in thousands):

**** 2025 **** 2024
Balance as of January 1 $ 1,121 $ 1,579
Credit loss expense (benefit) 12 (452)
Balance as of September 30 $ 1,133 $ 1,127

Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments are made predominately for adjustable-rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

The Company had $167 million of mortgage loan commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2025. These commitments have a contractual expiry from 15 to 30 years.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $493 million and $459 million, respectively, not all of which are expected to be drawn. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds are variable rate instruments. The amount of certificate 40

Table of Contents of deposit accounts maturing in less than one year was $276 million as of September 30, 2025. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments will be met in the normal course of business.

Primis also had outstanding commitments under subscription agreements entered into for investments in non-marketable equity securities of $1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable operating segments are determined based on its internal organizational structure, which is overseen by the CEO, the Company’s designated Chief Operating Decision Maker. While the CEO consults with key members of his leadership team, the ultimate responsibility for making operational decisions and resource allocations resides with the CEO. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s internal organizational structure and resulting management reporting was concentrated around the Bank and Primis Mortgage, which resulted in the Company determining these to be its two reportable segments.

Primis’ organizational structure and its operational segments are determined by attributes such as products, services, and customer base, which are then aggregated based on similarities around these attributes. The operating results for each segment are regularly reviewed by the CEO using a broad set of financial and operational data. Key financial data utilized by the CEO to assess financial performance and allocate resources includes loan and deposit growth, certain direct expenses, net interest income and mortgage banking income, along with overall net income attributable to Primis’ common shareholders. The CEO also considers actual results compared to budgeted results in these metrics when assessing performance and making determinations related to resource allocations. The following is a description of the Company’s reportable segments.

Primis Bank. This segment specializes in providing financing services to businesses in various industries along with consumer and residential loans to individuals. The segment also provides deposit-related services to businesses, non-profits, municipalities, and individual consumers. The primary source of revenue for this segment is interest income from the origination of loans, while the primary expenses are interest expenses on deposits, provisions for loan losses, personnel costs, and data processing expenses.

Primis Mortgage. This segment specializes in originating mortgages in a majority of the U.S. The primary source of revenue for this segment is noninterest income generated from the origination and sale of mortgage loans, while the primary expense of the segment is personnel costs.

​ 43

Table of Contents The following table provides financial information for the Company's reportable segments. In addition to the Company’s two reportable segments as described above, the caption “Other” has been included to provide reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated results and includes operational costs that are not a part of the two reportable segments but don’t qualify to be considered a separate reportable segment. “Other” primarily includes the Primis Bank Holding Company and PFH, which are generally cost centers to the consolidated entity, along with elimination adjustments to reconcile the results of the reportable segments to the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Table of Contents ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is presented to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Primis. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, the footnotes thereto, and the other financial data included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any other period. The emphasis of this discussion will be on the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 for the consolidated income statements. For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be the balances as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This discussion and analysis contain statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in, and subject to the protections of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See the following section for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP

In the following discussion and analysis, we provide certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, not replace, GAAP, which we use to prepare our financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. We use the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in our analysis of our performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of our ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of our results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in our underlying performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may be identified with the symbol ^(+)^ and may be labeled as adjusted. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section within this Item 2 for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements and financial discussion and analysis contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are instead based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are inherently subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

Table of Contents OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Executive Overview

In 2024, we focused on organizing the core bank and lines of business that we believe drive premium operating results. The third quarter of 2025 demonstrated progress in key areas that are expected to continue and build through the rest of the year and into 2026. Our strategy centers on growing earning assets back to previous levels after the sale of our Life Premium Finance division and achieving higher production and profitability in our retail mortgage business. We continued to execute successfully during the first nine months of 2025 on these strategies, which included the following:

Core Community Bank

The core Bank’s loan portfolio was essentially flat at $2.1 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The core Bank has low concentrations of investor commercial real estate loans.
The core Bank’s cost of deposits was 1.73% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 2.29% in the third quarter of 2024. Approximately 20% of the core Bank’s deposit base at September 30, 2025, are noninterest bearing deposits.
--- ---
The core Bank had zero brokered deposits and low utilization of FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2025.
--- ---

Mortgage Warehouse

Outstanding loan balances as of September 30, 2025 were $327 million, up 411% from $64 million as of December 31, 2024.
Mortgage warehouse funded approximately 10% of its outstanding loans with associated customer noninterest bearing deposit balances, which totaled $34 million as of September 30, 2025.
--- ---
Committed facilities were up 187% to $1 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $349 million as of December 31, 2024.
--- ---

Panacea Financial Division

Outstanding loan balances grew 26% to $548 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $434 million as of December 31, 2024.
Outstanding deposits were $133 million as of September 30, 2025, up 44% from December 31, 2024.
--- ---

Primis Mortgage

Funded loan volume was $308 million in the third quarter of 2025, up 34% from the third quarter of 2024.
Earnings for PMC was $2 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The nine month period was impacted by approximately $1 million of personnel costs related to new production teams hired at the end of the first quarter of 2025. However, as these teams rebuild their pipeline, we expect income from their production to exceed the upfront costs incurred.
--- ---

Changes in the relationship between PFH and Primis during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in a determination to deconsolidate PFH from Primis as of March 31, 2025. The deconsolidation resulted in recognition of a $25 million gain for Primis during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as a result of recording the fair value of our retained interest in common stock of PFH. The deconsolidation resulted in us no longer including PFH’s financial results in our financial results after March 31, 2025. PFH continues to work with the Panacea Division of the Bank to originate loans, some of which the Bank will retain, and others will be sold to investors and other financial institutions.

On June 12, 2025, we signed a non-binding term sheet to sell a portion of our retained ownership in PFH common shares after the deconsolidation and the sale of the shares generated proceeds of $22 million. Following the sale of these shares, we continued to hold approximately 467 thousand shares in PFH as of September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a gain of $7 million in the income statement in “Gain on Panacea Financial Holdings investment” within noninterest income related to the sale of PFH common shares and fair value adjustments on our remaining investment.

Table of Contents SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

Results of Operations Highlights

We experienced improved financial performance in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $7 million, or $0.28 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $1 million, or $0.05 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, resulting in an increase year-over-year of $6 million, or 600%. Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $32 million, or $1.29 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $7 million, or $0.29 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulting in an increase year-over-year of $25 million, or 357%. The key financial drivers of the improvement are noted in the following table with additional discussions following the table ($ in thousands).

Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2025 September 30, 2025

**** September 30, 2024 **** September 30, 2024
Favorable (unfavorable) change
Net interest income $ 1,009 $ 2,431
Provision for credit losses 7,560 7,288
Noninterest income 2,687 31,893
Noninterest expenses (1,358) (8,492)
Provision for income taxes (2,211) (6,309)
Noncontrolling interest (2,085) (2,038)
Net income attributable to Primis' common stockholders $ 5,602 $ 24,773

Net interest income increases were driven by declines in interest expenses in 2025 compared to 2024. The interest expense declines were driven by lower average deposit and borrowing balances combined with lower interest rates.  Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 included $1 million of interest reversals on loans that were moved to nonaccrual in the quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we also had significant interest income reversals on the Consumer Program loans due to higher credit losses, while there were no reversals during the same period in 2024.
Net interest margin increased to 3.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Continued rebuilding of earning asset levels coupled with favorable deposit pricing was responsible for the improvement during the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, the effects of the Consumer Program loan portfolio were accretive in the third quarter due primarily to less credit losses resulting in less income reversals compared to prior periods.
--- ---
Net interest margin grew to 3.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The significant driver of this increase was a meaningful decrease in our cost of funds that declined by 63 basis points. Higher credit losses on the Consumer Program loans in the earlier part of 2025 negatively impacted margin resulting in interest income reversals.
--- ---
The provision for loan losses decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by the changing mix of the Bank’s loan portfolio to loan categories with lower reserve requirements and the move of approximately $53 million of commercial loans to held for sale. Decreases were also driven during the nine month period by less reserves in the Consumer Program loan portfolio in 2025 due to higher reserves and charge-offs in 2024, higher expected credit quality of the remaining portfolio, and enhanced loss mitigation efforts in 2025, resulting in improved performance of the Consumer Program portfolio.
--- ---
Noninterest income increased during the three month period of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher income from mortgage banking activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by the $32 million gain on our PFH investment, which was comprised of a gain on deconsolidation of PFH in the first quarter of 2025 and gain on sale of a portion of our ownership in PFH and

fair value adjustments to the remaining common share investment retained in the second and third quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense increases were primarily driven in both periods by higher personnel costs due to growth in PMC, Mortgage Warehouse, and the Panacea Division of the Bank.
--- ---

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets increased 7% as of September 30, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to growth in PMC, Mortgage Warehouse, and the Panacea Division that drove growth in LHFI.
Total LHFI as of September 30, 2025 were $3.2 billion, an increase of $315 million, or 11%, from December 31, 2024. The increase was led by growth in the Mortgage Warehouse loans of $264 million and Panacea Division loans of $114 million since December 31, 2024.
--- ---
Total deposits were $3.3 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2024, with growth across all categories except for money market accounts and time deposits. Growth was partially driven by increased Mortgage Warehouse business and Panacea Division deposit account balances. Noninterest bearing demand deposits were $490 million at September 30, 2025, a growth rate of 12% compared to balances at December 31, 2024. We have no wholesale deposit funding at September 30, 2025.
--- ---
The ratio of gross loans (excluding loans held for sale) to deposits increased to 95.9% at September 30, 2025, from 91.1% at December 31, 2024.
--- ---
Allowance for credit losses to total loans was down 46 basis points to 1.40% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 1.86% as of December 31, 2024. The decline was driven by improved expected performance in the Consumer Program portfolio due to the significant decline in promotional loans that drove prior credit losses along with enhanced loss mitigation efforts during 2025, a changing mix of the Bank’s loan portfolio to loan categories with lower reserve requirements, and the $53 million of commercial loans moved to LHFS as of September 30, 2025 due to our intent to sell the loans.
--- ---
Asset quality declined from year end with nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets (excluding SBA guarantees) at 2.07% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 0.29% as of December 31, 2024, a 178 basis point change. This decline was primarily driven by one commercial real estate loan and one commercial relationship comprised of two loans that were placed on nonaccrual since year end. We have individual reserves on these loans of approximately 20% and are actively working with the borrowers to facilitate a return to performing status.
--- ---
Book value and tangible book value^(+)^ per common share increased by 128 and 129 basis points, respectively, as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, driven by the increase in equity as a result of net income.
--- ---
Our capital ratios continued to exceed requirements to be considered well capitalized as of September 30, 2025, with decreases in Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 and total risk-based capital of 12, 14 and 51 basis points, respectively, compared to December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Three-Month Comparison Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $7 million, or $0.28 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to $1 million, or $0.05 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results reflect a decrease in provision for credit losses of $7 million driven by less provision required on the Consumer Program portfolio,  the changing mix of the Bank’s loan portfolio to loan categories with lower reserve requirements and the move of approximately $53 million of commercial loans to held for sale. The results also reflect an increase in noninterest income of $3 million primarily due to higher mortgage banking income in the third quarter driven by growth of PMC and higher loan sales and related gains and a $1 million increase in net interest income driven by lower interest expenses on deposits and borrowings. These are partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1 million driven by personnel expenses due to growth in PMC and Mortgage Warehouse, a $2 million increase in our income tax provision and a decrease in noncontrolling interest income of $2 million. Additional details of the changes in net income will be discussed in the remaining sections of this Results of Operations section.

Nine-Month Comparison Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $32 million, or $1.29 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to $7 million, or $0.29 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The results reflect an increase in noninterest income of $32 million, primarily due to a gain on the deconsolidation of PFH in the first quarter of 2025 and gains from the sale of a portion of our remaining investment in PFH common share investment in 2025. A $2 million increase in our net interest income was driven by lower interest expenses in the current year on both deposits and borrowings due to lower average balances and lower interest rates. These increases were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $8 million driven primarily by higher personnel costs due to growth in PMC, Mortgage Warehouse, and the Panacea Division of the Bank and an increase in income tax provisions of $6 million from higher pre-tax earnings. Additional details of the changes in net income will be discussed in the remaining sections of this Results of Operations section.

Table of Contents Net interest income was $29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest income increased as a result of interest-bearing liability costs declining more than the declines in interest-earning asset income. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 included $1 million of interest reversals on loans that were moved to nonaccrual in the quarter. Our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 3.18%, compared to 2.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Continued rebuilding of earning asset levels coupled with favorable deposit pricing was responsible for the improvement during the third quarter of 2025. Margin increased by 21 basis points primarily as a result of lower average interest-earning asset balances and slightly higher net interest income when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Average earning assets decreased $127 million, or 3%, primarily due to a decline in average total loans of $149 million, or 4%, partially offset by growth in other earning assets of $18 million, or 21%, and an increase in average investment securities of $4 million, or 2%. Average earning asset balances were driven lower by a $181 million decline in average loan balances which was primarily a result of the sale of approximately $400 million of our life premium finance loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the decision to run-off the remaining retained life premium finance loans and a decline in average Consumer Program loans of $89 million, partially offset by an increase in average Mortgage Warehouse loans of $208 million and average Panacea loans of $99 million.
Average interest-bearing liabilities declined by $183 million largely due to maturing time deposits driving average time deposit balances down by $101 million. We also experienced declines in average money market deposit accounts of $104 million, partially offset by growth in demand deposits of $87 million and savings balances of $56 million. The increase in demand deposits was driven by growth in the Panacea Division and Mortgage Warehouse business, each of which has been successful in growing deposits alongside their loan growth. Rates on average interest-bearing deposits declined 60 basis points in total, in large part due to a decline in the Fed Funds borrowing rate during the last twelve months of 75 basis points, which influences our deposit pricing. Interest paid on average borrowings decreased $2 million due to a decline of $121 million in average borrowings from the prior year.
--- ---
Yields on average interest earning assets decreased by 39 basis points comparing the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 2024. The decline was primarily driven by decreases in yields earned on loans which were down 8 basis points on LHFS and 41 basis points on LHFI. The decline in HFI was primarily driven by the sale of our life premium finance loans and charge-offs in the Consumer Program loan portfolio, both of which earned higher rates, and due to the drop in benchmark lending rates since the three months ended September 30, 2024. Yields on all of our interest-bearing liabilities declined by 64 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by the decline in benchmark borrowing rates by 75 basis points over that time.
--- ---

Our net interest income and margin were positively impacted during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 by the Consumer Program loans. During the third quarter, we had lower charge-offs related to these loans, most of which had promotional interest features, which resulted in less reversal of interest income. The Company recognizes interest income on the promotional loans when promotional features expire and which generally includes a substantial amount of deferred interest accumulated to that date. If the loan subsequently defaults, that previously recognized interest is reversed against interest income. The Bank recognized substantial interest income on loans exiting their promotional periods beginning in the third quarter of 2024, with a roughly one quarter lag of subsequent reversals primarily due to high first payment defaults on full deferral promotional loans. The interest recognized on promotional loan expirations was insignificant in the third quarter of 2025, which is expected to lead to substantially lower interest income reversals going forward.

Table of Contents Net interest income was $80 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest income increased as a result of interest-bearing liability costs declining more than the declines in interest-earning asset income. Our net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 3.06%, compared to 2.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Margin increased by 21 basis points primarily from higher net interest income on lower average interest-earning assets over those periods.  Consumer Program loan income reversals had a significant impact on the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and no impact on the same period in 2024.

Average earning assets decreased $149 million, or 4%, primarily due to a decline in average total loans of $171 million, or 5%, partially offset by growth in other earning assets of $17 million, or 22%, and a $5 million, or 2%, increase in average investment securities. Decline in average loan balances was driven primarily by the sale of approximately $400 million of our life premium finance loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the decision to run-off the remaining retained life premium finance loans and the decline in average balances of Consumer Program loans of $107 million. These average loan balance declines were partially offset by continued growth of average Panacea Division loans of $131 million and Mortgage Warehouse loan of $114 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Average interest-bearing liabilities declined by $154 million largely due to maturing time deposits driving average time deposit balances down by $97 million. We also experienced declines in average money market accounts of $64 million, partially offset by growth in demand deposits of $54 million and savings balances of $9 million. The increase in demand deposits was driven by growth in the Panacea Division and Mortgage Warehouse business, each of which has been successful in growing deposits alongside their loan growth. Rates on average interest-bearing deposits declined 48 basis points, in large part due to a decline in the Fed Funds borrowing rate during the last twelve months of 75 basis points, which influences our deposit pricing. Interest paid on average borrowings decreased $2 million due to a decline of $55 million in average borrowings from the prior year.
--- ---

Yields on average interest earning assets decreased 23 basis points driven by lower yields on LHFS and LHFI during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.  The sale of our life premium finance loans, which earned higher yields than our average loan portfolio yield, and the significant reversals of Consumer Program loan income due to charge-offs of promotional loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 drove the overall earning asset yield decline. The drop in benchmark lending rates since the nine months ended September 30, 2024 also impacted the decline as newer production was generally at lower rates in 2025 compared to 2024. Yields on all of our interest bearing liabilities declined by 50 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by the decline in benchmark borrowing rates by 75 basis points over that time.

Table of Contents Provision for (Recovery of) **** Credit Losses

The provision for (recovery of) credit losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to adjust the allowance for credit losses for current expected losses in the loan portfolio based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio characteristics, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability, and assessment of reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that would impact collectability of the loans. Our allowance for credit losses is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying risk factors to each segment. The risk factors are determined by considering historical loss data, peer data, as well as applying management’s judgment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a recovery of credit losses of $49 thousand and provision for credit losses of $7 million, respectively. The recovery of credit losses during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by the changing mix of the Bank’s loan portfolio to loan categories with lower reserve requirements and the move of approximately $53 million of commercial loans to held for sale and reversal of the allowance on these loans. Based on performance during the quarter, there was provision expense of $274 thousand associated with the Consumer Program in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a provision for credit losses of $10 million and $17 million, respectively. Decline in provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024 was driven by higher provisions in the 2024 periods primarily related to the Consumer Program loans. Credit losses were concentrated in the promotional portion of that portfolio that were largely originated between the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023. Due to the majority of these promotional loans ending their promotions in 2024 or the first quarter of 2025, coupled with our loss mitigation efforts in 2025, our provisioning for this portfolio was only $2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The decline in provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was also driven by the lower provisioning for Consumer Program loans, the change in portfolio mix, and transfer to held for sale of commercial loans in the three months ended September 30, 2025. Partially offsetting the decline in provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $7 million of provisions on an individually evaluated commercial real estate loan that was placed on nonaccrual during the period, due to certain weaknesses in the credit. See additional discussion of this loan in the Asset Quality section of this MD&A.

The Financial Condition section of this MD&A provides information on our loan portfolio, past due loans, nonperforming assets and the allowance for credit losses.

Consumer Program derivative income 264 79 185
Other noninterest income 80 450 (370)
Total noninterest income $ 11,969 $ 9,282 $ 2,687

Noninterest income increased 29% to $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $2 million of higher income from mortgage banking activity during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The 31% increase in mortgage banking income was due to higher gain on sale income driven by an increase of $62 million, or 27%, in loan sales during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 as well as higher fair value gains in marking the mortgage HFS loan portfolio to fair value. The increase in noninterest income was also a result of $330 thousand of gains from returns on other investments and a $294 thousand gain due to fair value adjustments to the remaining common share investment retained in PFH.

Consumer Program related income was $264 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $79 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024. While we recognized less income in the third quarter of 2025 from borrowers paying off their promotional loans before the end of the promotional period triggering payment of interest from the third-party, there were less negative fair value adjustments on the related derivative in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024. Noninterest income from the Consumer Program is expected to be increasingly immaterial going forward as promotional loans have declined to $7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 and the derivative value is immaterial at September 30, 2025.

Other noninterest income 776 873 (97)
Total noninterest income $ 62,334 $ 30,441 $ 31,893

Noninterest income increased 105% to $62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by the $32 million gain on our PFH investment, which comprised the gain on deconsolidation of PFH in the first quarter of 2025 and gain on the sale of a portion of our ownership in PFH and fair value adjustments to the remaining common share investment retained in the second and third quarter of 2025. The increase was also driven partially by $4 million of higher income from mortgage banking activity during 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in mortgage banking income was due to higher gain on sale income driven by $194 million, or 36%, higher loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024. The increases were partially offset by declines in Consumer Program derivative income and income from bank-owned life insurance held as a result of several one-time death benefit gains in 2024 that did not re-occur in 2025

The decline in Consumer Program related income included higher derivative fair value losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 because the promotional loan population declined at a faster pace during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The fair value losses on the derivative were $443 thousand higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The remaining decline in the Consumer Program derivative income was a combination of less income earned from the third-party on origination of loans, which ended in January of 2025, and less reimbursement due to us when borrowers paid off their promotional loans before the end of the promotional period. These two items resulted in a combined decline of $2 million in income when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the same period in 2024. Noninterest income from the Consumer Program is expected to be increasingly immaterial going forward as promotional loans have declined to only $7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 and the derivative value is immaterial at September 30, 2025.

Noninterest expenses increased 4% to $32 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $31 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits expenses, FDIC insurance expense, and occupancy expenses, partially offset by lower miscellaneous lending expenses, professional fees, and amortization of core deposit intangibles. Our core deposit intangible fully amortized in the second quarter of 2025.

Salaries and benefits expenses increased $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. PMC accounted for the growth in salaries and benefits while the remainder of the bank managed to reflect a small decline in total compensation costs.  For the third quarter of 2025, PMC had $7 million in total salaries and benefits, an increase of $2 million or 35% compared to the same period in 2024. All other compensation costs were $11 million in the third quarter of 2025, down slightly from the $12 million reported in the third quarter of 2024.

FDIC insurance expense increased $454 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in our assessment base as a result of the financial restatements in 2024 along with changes in asset quality in 2025. Occupancy expenses increased $327 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to one-time expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2025 that did not occur in the third quarter of 2024.

Miscellaneous lending expenses decreased $867 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to lower servicing fees paid to the third-party servicer of our Consumer Program loan portfolio which has reduced in size by 48% since January 1, 2024, less repurchase reserve provisions on PMC sold loans, and less provisions on unfunded Bank issued loan commitments during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Professional fees decreased $405 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. The primary driver of the decline was due to expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the restatement of financial statements in 2024 that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2025. Professional fees in the third quarter of 2025 included $1 million in legal fees associated with mortgage recruiting that management expects will subside in the coming quarters.

Total noninterest expenses $ 96,771 $ 88,279 $ 8,492

Noninterest expenses increased 10% to $96 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $88 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits expenses, data processing expense, and FDIC insurance expenses in 2025 compared to 2024. These increases were partially offset by less core deposit intangible amortization that fully amortized by June 30, 2025.

The higher salaries and benefits expense of $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was driven primarily due to additions of several lending teams at PMC, one of which is the top mortgage originator in the Nashville, TN market and the other is the fourth ranked VA lender in the country. These teams drove the salaries and benefits expense in 2025 due to salary draws while they rebuilt their portfolios.  These teams are expected to generate production in 2025 that will exceed these initial salary draws, which should help to generate income that offsets the salary expenses in later periods. Increase in salaries and benefits was also from the growth in salaries and benefit expenses in the Panacea and Mortgage Warehouse lines of business, each increasing $1 million when comparing the year-to-date periods in 2025 to 2024.

FDIC insurance expense increased $1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in our assessment base as a result of the financial restatements in 2024 and the changes in asset quality in 2025.

Data processing expense increased $1 million comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 2024, which was due to higher processing volume and was also a result of our continued use of two core operating systems. We have negotiated a new contract with our core data provider with contract terms that began to provide significant reductions in data processing expense in August of 2025.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

Loans Held for Sale

LHFS declined $45 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to the sale of $51 million of LPF loans, paydowns of Consumer Program LHFS, and the transfer back to net loans of $102 million of Consumer Program loans in 2025 after the decision to retain these for the foreseeable future or until maturity. These declines were partially offset by increased originations of PMC loans held for sale at fair value and the transfer to held for sale, at the lower of cost or market, of commercial loans in the Panacea Division that we intend to sell in the fourth quarter to another financial institution.

Loans Held for Investment

Gross LHFI were $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in loans was driven by the transfer back from LHFS into the consumer loans category in LHFI of Consumer Program loans along with growth of mortgage warehouse loans and Panacea Division commercial loans, both of which were the primary driver of the $307 million increase in commercial loans seen below. The growth was partially offset by loan paydowns during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of loans secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a majority of our loans were to customers located in Virginia and Maryland. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our highest concentration of credit by loan type is in commercial real estate. As of September 30, 2025, 38% of our loan portfolio was comprised of loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family residential loans and loans secured by farmland. Commercial real estate loans are generally viewed as having a higher risk of default than residential real estate loans and depend on cash flows from the owner’s business or the property’s tenants to service the debt. The borrower’s cash flows may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, a downturn in the local economy, or in occupancy rates in the market where the property is located, any of which could increase the likelihood of default. 64

Table of Contents We seek to mitigate risks attributable to our most highly concentrated portfolios and our portfolios that pose unique risks to our balance sheet through our credit underwriting and monitoring processes, including oversight by a centralized credit administration function, approval process, credit policy, and risk management committee, as well as through our seasoned bankers that focus on lending to borrowers with proven track records in markets with which we are familiar.

The shift to work-from-home and hybrid work environments has caused a decreased utilization of office space. As such, we have additional monitoring for our exposure to office space, within our non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio, including periodic credit risk assessment of expiring office leases for most of the office portfolio. We do not currently finance large, high-rise, or major metropolitan central business district office buildings, and the office portfolio is generally in suburban markets with strong occupancy levels.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table presents a comparison of nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

**** September 30, December 31,
2025 **** 2024 ****
Nonaccrual loans $ 84,973 $ 15,026
Loans past due 90 days and accruing interest 1,713 1,713

Nonaccrual to total loans 2.67 % 0.52 %
Nonperforming assets excluding SBA guaranteed loans to total assets 2.07 % 0.29 %

Nonperforming assets increased $70 million, or 418%, as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, which was driven by an increase in nonaccrual loans. The increase in nonaccrual was primarily due to the addition of one commercial real estate loans with a $40 million amortized cost balance that was past due over 30 days as of September 30, 2025 and one commercial relationship comprised of two loans totaling $24 million in amortized cost that was past due over 90 days as of September 30, 2025. Despite the commercial real estate loan only being 30-59 days past due, the credit has exhibited certain weaknesses that warranted placing it on nonaccrual, including a decline in occupancy of the underlying office building leading to reduced lease income. We have a lien on the underlying collateral which is 66

Table of Contents Class A office space in a desirable location in northern Virginia. The borrower is actively seeking new tenants for vacant office space in the building. We assess expected credit losses on this loan individually and have a $7 million individual reserve against the loan, or 18% of its amortized cost balance, as of September 30, 2025. The commercial loans past due over 90 days were utilized by the customer to support a business acquisition into an existing business. The merged companies have taken longer than anticipated to realize the anticipated reduction in operating costs and the stabilization of revenues. The company became profitable at the end of 2024 and has shown steady improvement during 2025 with anticipation of being able to provide full debt service coverage by the end of 2025 or early in 2026. We assess expected credit losses on this loan individually and have a $5 million individual reserve against the loan, or 20% of its amortized cost balance, as of September 30, 2025

We will generally place a loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due, with the exception of most consumer loans, which are charged off at 120 days past due and Consumer Program loans, which are charged off once they reach 90 days past due. Loans will also be placed on nonaccrual status in cases where we are uncertain whether the borrower can satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash payments received while a loan is categorized as nonaccrual will be recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to future collections.

We maintain appraisals on loans secured by real estate, particularly those categorized as nonperforming loans and potential problem loans. In instances where appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, we make an evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition to determine the need, if any, for impairment or write-down to their fair values. If foreclosure occurs, we record OREO at the lower of our recorded investment in the loan or fair value less our estimated costs to sell.

Our loan portfolio losses and delinquencies have been primarily limited by our underwriting standards and portfolio management practices. Whether losses and delinquencies in our portfolio will increase significantly depends upon the value of the real estate securing the loans and economic factors, such as the overall economy, rising or elevated interest rates, historically high or persistent inflation, and recessionary concerns.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We are focused on the asset quality of our loan portfolio, both before and after a loan is made. We have established underwriting standards that we believe are effective in maintaining high credit quality in our loan portfolio. We have experienced loan officers who take personal responsibility for the loans they originate, a skilled underwriting team and highly qualified credit officers that review each loan application carefully.

Our allowance for credit losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. Management evaluates the allowance at least quarterly. In addition, on a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews our loan portfolio, evaluates credit quality, reviews the loan loss provision and the allowance for credit losses and requests management to make changes as may be required. In evaluating the allowance, management and the Board of Directors consider the growth, composition and industry diversification of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels and all other known factors affecting loan collectability.

The allowance for credit losses is based on the CECL methodology and represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. This estimate is based on historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts applied to various loan types that compose our portfolio, including the effects of known factors such as the economic environment within our market area will have on net losses. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determination by the regulatory agencies as to the appropriate level of the allowance.

We believe that the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2025 is sufficient to absorb future expected credit losses in our loan portfolio based on our assessment of all known factors affecting the collectability of our loan portfolio. Our assessment involves uncertainty and judgment; therefore, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses cannot be determined with precision and may be subject to change in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory authorities, as part of their periodic examination, may require additional charges to the provision for credit losses in future periods if the results of their reviews warrant additions to the allowance for credit losses. 68

Table of Contents Our allowance for credit losses was $45 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $54 million as of December 31, 2024. The $8 million decrease was driven by $19 million in net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily a result of Consumer Program loans, and less provision for credit losses. Our provision for credit losses decreased $8 million and $7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, respectively, primarily related to improved performance in the Consumer Program portfolio driven by the significant decline in promotional loans that drove prior credit losses, a changing mix of the Bank’s loan portfolio to loan categories with lower reserve requirements, and the $53 million of commercial loans moved to LHFS as of September 30, 2025 due to our intent to sell the loans. Partially offsetting these declines was specific provisions for expected credit losses of $7 million on the individually evaluated commercial real estate loan that was 30-59 days past due and proactively placed on nonaccrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Net charge-offs were primarily related to the Consumer Program portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we charged-off $1 million and $17 million, respectively, net of recoveries, in the Consumer Program portfolio. Comparatively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we charged-off $8 million and $18 million, respectively, net of recoveries.  A majority of these charge-offs related to loans originated from the third quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023 where we experienced significant credit weaknesses. When excluding the Consumer Program net charge-offs, we had net charge-offs of $300 thousand and $2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and net charge-offs of $4 million and $6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Provision for the Consumer Program portfolio has subsided significantly since 2024 and was $274 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 and $2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, because the earlier vintage promotional loans that have resulted in a majority of our previous credit losses have mostly converted to amortizing in 2024 or early 2025. We believe that any remaining loans in these older vintages, along with newer vintage promotional loans that end their promotional period over the next two quarters have been considered in our reserving methodology based on our loss experience from 2024 to the first quarter of 2025 with the earlier vintage promotional loans. Specifically, our methodology was updated to consider promotional loan maturity and amount of first payment defaults with eventual charge-off, which was a key driver to charge-offs of these loans in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. We have also implemented loss mitigation efforts that include working with promotional loan borrowers both prior to the end of the promotional period and once a borrower defaults in order to maximize collectability. A combination of these factors, along with the remaining balance of promotional loans of only $7 million, resulted in our lower provisioning for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and lower ending allowance balance at September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, the principal balance outstanding of Consumer Program loans was $110 million, excluding a $9 million discount as a result of our prior decision to market a majority of the portfolio for sale, which has since been moved back to LHFI and will be run-off over time. These loans are accounted for like our other consumer loans and are not placed on nonaccrual because they are charged off when they become 90 days past due. The allowance on this portfolio plus the discount resulted in a reduction of the outstanding principal balance of $11 million, or 10%. As of September 30, 2025, 93% of the outstanding principal balance was current, resulting in 135% coverage by the aggregate allowance and discount of the non-current principal balances.

Table of Contents INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Our investment securities portfolio provides us with required liquidity and collateral to pledge to secure public deposits, certain other deposits, advances from the FHLB of Atlanta, and repurchase agreements.

AFS and HTM investment securities totaled $243 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of 1% from $245 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to improvement in unrealized losses on AFS securities and paydowns, maturities, and calls of the AFS and HTM investments over the past nine months, partially offset by purchases of AFS securities during that time. We recognized no credit impairment charges related to credit losses on our HTM investment securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The following table sets forth a summary of the investment securities portfolio as of the dates indicated. AFS investment securities are reported at fair value, and HTM investment securities are reported at amortized cost ($ in thousands).

Debt investment securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities classified as AFS are those debt securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or other similar factors. Investment securities AFS are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses net of deferred taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Our portfolio of AFS securities currently contains a material amount of unrealized mark-to-market adjustments due to increases in market interest rates since the original purchase of many of these securities. We intend to hold these securities until maturity or recovery of the value and do not anticipate realizing any losses on the investments.

Table of Contents DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWINGS

Deposits

The market for deposits is competitive. We offer a line of traditional deposit products that currently include noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking (or NOW accounts), commercial checking, money market accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. We compete for deposits through our banking branches with competitive pricing, as well as nationally through advertising and online banking. We use deposits as a principal source of funding for our lending, purchasing of investment securities and for other business purposes. We seek to fund increased loan volumes by growing core deposits, but, subject to internal policy limits on the amount of funding we may maintain, we may use funding sources to fund shortfalls, if any, or to provide additional liquidity. We use purchased brokered deposits as part of our overall liquidity management strategy on an as needed basis, and we purchase such brokered deposits through nationally recognized networks.

The variety of deposit accounts we offer allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and in responding to the threat of disintermediation (the flow of funds away from depository institutions such as banking institutions into direct investment vehicles such as government and corporate securities). Our ability to attract and maintain deposits, and the effect of such retention on our cost of funds, has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by the general economy and market rates of interest.

Total deposits increased by $165 million to $3.3 billion as of September 30, 2025 from $3.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The mix of deposits changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, including an increase in lower-cost demand, NOW deposit balances and savings balances of $247 million, offset by a decline in money market and time deposit account balances of $82 million. The driver of the increase since year end has been due to growth of noninterest bearing and lower cost interest bearing deposit accounts generated by the Panacea and Mortgage Warehouse lines of business that have focused on this deposit growth to cost-effectively fund their loan growth. We have no wholesale deposit funding at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Our deposits are diversified in type and by underlying customers and lack significant concentrations to any type of customer (i.e. commercial, consumer, government) or industry. Deposits are net of excess amounts we sweep off balance sheet to manage liquidity. Deposits swept off our balance sheet were zero as of September 30, 2025, compared to $137 million as of December 31, 2024. The decline since year end was driven by the growth in our loan portfolio, which required us to retain more deposits on our balance sheet.

Uninsured deposits are defined as the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit accounts that are classified as deposits and are not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. Total uninsured deposits as calculated per regulatory guidance were $831 million, or 25% of total deposits at the Bank, as of September 30, 2025.

The following table sets forth the average balance and average rate paid on each of the deposit categories for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands):

Table of Contents Other Borrowings

We use other borrowed funds to support our liquidity needs and to temporarily satisfy our funding needs from increased loan demand and for other shorter-term purposes. We are a member of the FHLB and are authorized to obtain advances from the FHLB from time to time, as needed. The FHLB has a credit program for members with different maturities and interest rates, which may be fixed or variable. We are required to collateralize our borrowings from the FHLB with purchases of FHLB stock and other collateral acceptable to the FHLB. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $85 million and no FHLB borrowings, respectively. The FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2025 are short-term borrowings that were obtained in September 2025 primarily to fund increased loan growth experienced at the end of the quarter.  As of September 30, 2025, we had $262 million of unused and available FHLB lines of credit as well as $595 million of available credit with the FRB, secured by excess collateral pledged to the FHLB and FRB in the form of loans and investment securities.

Other borrowings can consist of federal funds purchased, secured borrowings due to failed loan sales, and repo transactions that mature within one year, which are secured transactions with customers. The balance in repo accounts at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $4 million.

We had secured borrowings of $15 million and $17 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to loan transfers to other financial institutions during 2023 and 2024 that did not meet the criteria to be treated as a sale under applicable accounting guidance. These borrowings reflect the cash received for transferring the loans to the other financial institution and any unamortized sale premium and are secured by approximately the same amount of loans held for investment that are recorded in our balance sheet. We retained the servicing of the loans that were transferred and accordingly receive principal and interest from the borrower as contractually required and transfer the interest to the other financial institution net of our contractually agreed upon servicing fee. The loans transferred have an average maturity of approximately ten years, which will be the time over which the principal balance of the loans in our balance sheet and secured borrowings will pay down, absent borrower prepayments. For additional information on secured borrowings refer to “Note 7 –Debt and Other Borrowings” in this Form 10-Q.

JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT AND SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

For information about junior subordinated debt and senior subordinated notes and their anticipated principal repayments refer to “Note 7 –Debt and Other Borrowings.”

Table of Contents LIQUIDITY AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT

The objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the ability to meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of deposits on demand or at maturity, the repayment of borrowings at maturity and the ability to fund commitments and other new business opportunities. We obtain funding from a variety of sources, including customer deposit accounts, customer certificates of deposit and payments on our loans and investments. If our level of core deposits is not sufficient to fully fund our lending activities, we have access to funding from additional sources, including but not limited to, borrowing from the FHLB and institutional certificates of deposits. In addition, we maintain federal funds lines of credit with two correspondent banks, totaling $75 million, and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings from approved securities dealers as needed. For additional information about borrowings and anticipated principal repayments refer to “Note 7 –Debt and Other Borrowings” and “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies”.

We prepare a cash flow forecast on a 30, 60 and 90 day basis along with a one and two year basis. These projections incorporate expected cash flows on loans, investment securities, and deposits based on data used to prepare our interest rate risk analyses. As of September 30, 2025, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our liquidity. As of September 30, 2025, we had no material commitments or long-term debt for capital expenditures.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented in Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices do. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Many factors impact interest rates, including the decisions of the FRB, inflation, recession, changes in unemployment, the money supply, and international disorder and instability in domestic and foreign financial markets. Like most financial institutions, changes in interest rates can impact our net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned from interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, as well as the valuation of our assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital management consists of providing equity to support both current and future operations. Primis Financial Corp. and its subsidiary, Primis Bank, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (“PCA”), we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under regulatory framework for PCA. Federal banking agencies do not provide a similar well capitalized threshold for bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of September 30, 2025, that we meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.

The following table provides a comparison of the leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios of Primis Financial Corp. and Primis Bank at the periods indicated to the minimum and well-capitalized required regulatory standards:

Total risk-based capital ratio 10.50 % 10.00 % 11.39 % 12.04 %
(1) Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable at the bank holding company level.
--- ---

Bank regulatory agencies have approved regulatory capital guidelines (“Basel III”) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for banking organizations. The Basel III Capital Rules require Primis Financial Corp. and Primis Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer”, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, (iii) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may result in certain actions by regulators which could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Primis Financial Corp. and Primis Bank remain well-capitalized under Basel III capital requirements. Primis Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 3.39% and 4.04% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which exceeded the 2.50% minimum requirement below which the regulators may impose limits on distributions.

Primis Bank’s capital position is consistent with being well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for PCA. 74

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The critical accounting policies are discussed in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in “Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Disclosures regarding changes in our significant accounting policies since year end and the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in “Note 1 - Accounting Policies” in this Form 10-Q. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Notwithstanding, we are providing an update to the Goodwill discussion from our Form 10-K to describe the results of our annual impairment testing performed during the quarter.

Goodwill

As discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually and that test is performed as of September 30 of each year. Our goodwill is allocated to our two reporting units, Primis Bank and Primis Mortgage, and as of September 30, 2025, $91 million of goodwill is allocated to the Primis Bank reporting unit and $3 million is allocated to the Primis Mortgage reporting unit. As of September 30, 2025, we elected to forgo a qualitative assessment allowed under U.S. GAAP and performed a quantitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment. As part of our impairment assessment, the fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using a combination of a market and income approach. The income approach is a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the financial forecast from the perspective of an unrelated market participant and a terminal value was then applied to the projected cash flow stream. Future estimated cash flows were discounted to their present value to calculate the estimated fair value. The market valuation approach evaluated transactions of comparable banks and considered market pricing ratios of public bank peers. As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value of the Primis Mortgage reporting unit and no goodwill impairment was required.

As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Primis Bank reporting unit was 118% of the carrying value of the reporting unit, and no goodwill impairment was required. Fair value determinations utilized in the quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Primis Bank reporting unit required considerable judgment and is sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of the reporting unit requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates at September 30 included estimated future annual interest income and interest expense, lending and deposit interest rates, Fed borrowing rates, discount rates, growth rates of the Bank and its loan and deposit portfolio, credit losses on the loan portfolio, and other market factors. We also make assumptions in certain testing methodologies 75

Table of Contents about the composition of our peers and market acquisition transactions related to banks that we believe are similar to us. If current expectations of future growth rates, interest rates, provision for credit losses, and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, Fed borrowing rates, or inflation, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to long-term operating plans, then the fair value of the reporting unit may decline below its carrying value and result in goodwill impairment in the future.

Table of Contents ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings into interest-earning loans and investments. Consequently, our earnings significantly depend on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on loans and other investments and the interest expense on deposits and borrowings. To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-earning assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income. Our ALCO meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing our interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The policies established by the ALCO are reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors. We have employed asset/liability management policies that seek to manage our net interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

We use simulation modeling to manage our interest rate risk and review quarterly interest sensitivity. This approach uses a model which generates estimates of the change in our EVE over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using assumptions including estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

The following tables are based on an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in EVE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 400 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. All changes are within our Asset/Liability Risk Management Policy guidelines ($ amounts in thousands).

All values are in US Dollars.

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model that generates estimates of the change in the NII over a range of interest rate scenarios. NII depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. In this regard, our model historically assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities remains constant over the period being measured 77

Table of Contents and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we implemented enhancements to our interest rate risk modeling framework, which impacted the NII sensitivity modeling results as of September 30, 2025 seen below. The enhancements include the adoption of non-linear beta and decay assumptions, which reflect industry best practices for modeling deposit behaviors and rate sensitivities. As a result of these changes, the Bank’s overall interest rate risk profile shifted toward a more neutral position.  Additionally, the Bank has also steadily increased its portfolio of floating-rate mortgage warehouse loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which when combined with the modeling enhancements increased our asset sensitivity compared to year end as seen in each of the shock scenarios as of September 30, 2025. The results below are within our ALM Policy guidelines as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands).

Sensitivity of EVE and NII are modeled using different assumptions and approaches. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE and NII sensitivity requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the EVE tables and NII tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net worth and NII.

Table of Contents ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This conclusion was reached as a result of the continued remediation of previously identified material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting as further described in Item 9A in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that have not been fully remediated, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements, included in this Form 10-Q, as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash-flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company continued to remediate the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as previously identified and disclosed in Item 9A in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management continues to put controls in place to remediate the previously identified material weaknesses and the material weaknesses will not be remediated until the necessary controls are in place and operating effectively for a sufficient amount of time.
