Reports First Quarter 2026 Results April 29, 2026 CEO Commentary “We are pleased to report a solid start to the year,” stated James F. House, President and CEO of the Company. “First quarter 2026 diluted earnings per share improved by 13.8% compared to the same quarter of 2025. Although we saw a modest decline in total loan volume during the quarter, some of which was seasonal, we experienced growth in our core deposit franchise,” continued Mr. House. “While the year is certainly off to a volatile start from a geopolitical and economic standpoint, we continue to believe that the Company’s balance sheet is well positioned to thrive in multiple scenarios.” Financial Results Loans and Leases – The table below summarizes loan balances by portfolio category as of the end of each of the most recent five quarters. Quarter Ended 2026 2025 March 31, December 31, September 30, June 30, March 31, (Dollars in Thousands) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Real estate loans: Construction, land development and other land loans $27,236 $32,618 $38,560 $48,101 $58,572 Secured by 1-4 family residential properties 65,460 66,996 67,620 67,587 68,523 Secured by multi-family residential properties 124,826 117,769 112,763 118,807 106,374 Secured by non-residential commercial real estate 189,408 200,699 211,400 215,035 214,065 Commercial and industrial loans ("C&I") 46,665 48,360 46,562 40,986 45,166 Consumer loans: Direct 4,362 4,844 4,999 4,836 4,610 Indirect 385,740 381,732 385,616 376,079 351,025 Total loans and leases held for investment 843,697 853,018 867,520 871,431 848,335 Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases 10,536 10,704 10,700 11,388 10,405 Net loans and leases held for investment $833,161 $842,314 $856,820 $860,043 $837,930 Total loans decreased by $9.3 million, or 1.1%, in 1Q2026, as growth in the multi-family residential real estate and indirect categories was offset by decreases primarily in the construction, non-residential commercial real estate and C&I categories. The decrease in construction is consistent with the ebb and flow of projects in the Company's service territories. Construction loans are generally short-to-medium term loans that are expected to pay off or transfer to another loan category upon project completion. The decrease in non-residential commercial real estate was related to completed construction projects that moved into a permanent category, but were subsequently refinanced into the permanent market. The growth in the indirect category accelerated in the latter part of 1Q2026, consistent with typical seasonal trends. The indirect lending platform focuses on consumer lending at the higher end of the credit spectrum. Collateral financed in the indirect portfolio primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles, campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers. The weighted average credit score of new indirect loans financed during 1Q2026 was 797, while the weighted average credit score for the entire portfolio was 783. While total loans decreased during 1Q2026, average loan balances remained higher comparing 1Q2026 to 1Q2025, increasing by $26.7 million, or 3.2%. Deposits – Total deposits increased by $10.9 million, or 1.1%, during 1Q2026, due primarily to an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $28.4 million, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $12.8 million decrease in time deposits. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more and all wholesale brokered deposits, totaled $853.8 million, or 82.2% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $838.3 million, or 81.6% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. The average rate on deposits totaled 2.18% during 1Q2026, compared to 2.19% during 4Q2025 and 2.07% during 1Q2025. In the current environment, significant competitive pressure remains to acquire and maintain deposit balances. Cash and Investment Securities – As of March 31, 2026, the Company held cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements totaling $85.4 million, or 7.3% of total assets, compared to $78.4 million, or 6.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. Investment securities, including both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios, totaled $181.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $168.5 million as of December 31, 2025. During 1Q2026, the Company purchased $20.5 million of investment securities at market rates in existence at the time of purchase. These purchases, combined with the maturity and paydown of investment securities at lower rates, have led to continued improvement in yield on the portfolio. The yield on investment securities, including both available-for-sale and held to maturity 2 First US Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results April 29, 2026 securities, totaled 3.89% during 1Q2026, compared to 3.81% during 4Q2025 and 3.44% during 1Q2025. As of March 31, 2026, the expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.8 years compared to 3.7 years as of December 31, 2025. Net Interest Income and Margin – Net interest income in 1Q2026 decreased by $0.2 million, or 2.2%, compared to 4Q2025 and increased by $0.3 million, or 3.6%, compared to 1Q2025. Net interest margin was 3.37% for 1Q2026, compared to 3.46% for 4Q2025 and 3.53% for 1Q2025. The decrease in net interest margin compared to 4Q2025 and 1Q2025 resulted primarily from yield reductions on loans that occurred following the reduction of the Federal Funds rate during the latter part of 2025. Asset Quality – Nonperforming assets, including loans in non-accrual status and other real estate owned, totaled $1.8 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase from $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets increased to 0.16% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 0.14% as of December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans totaled 0.23% in 1Q2026, compared to 0.08% during 4Q2025 and 0.13% during 1Q2025. The increase in net charge-offs comparing 1Q2026 to both 4Q2025 and 1Q2025 was due to a partial charge-off of one individually evaluated commercial loan of $48 thousand during 1Q2026, as well as an increase in charge-offs associated with the indirect portfolio. The amount charged off associated with the individually evaluated loan was fully reserved within the Company's allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and leases as of December 31, 2025. Provision for Credit Losses – During 1Q2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in 4Q2025 and $0.5 million in 1Q2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s ACL on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans was 1.25%, consistent with December 31, 2025. While management believes that the ACL is adequate to absorb credit losses within the Company’s loan portfolio, inherent uncertainty exists pertaining to the ultimate impact on the portfolio of both geopolitical and economic matters, including prospective inflation, unemployment levels, tariffs, and consumer affordability. Pre-tax Pre-provision Net Revenue (“PPNR”) – PPNR totaled $2.7 million in 1Q2026, compared to $3.1 million in 4Q2025 and $2.9 million in 1Q2025. As a percentage of average assets, PPNR totaled 0.94% in 1Q2026, compared to 1.09% in 4Q2025 and 1.06% in 1Q2025. Refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation of PPNR to net income beginning on page 9. Non-interest Income – Non-interest income totaled $0.8 million in 1Q2026, compared to $1.0 million in 4Q2025 and $0.9 million in 1Q2025. The reduction in non-interest income compared to 4Q2025 resulted primarily from fees on customer-related interest rate swaps that were earned in 4Q2025 and not repeated in 1Q2026. Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expense totaled $7.3 million in both 1Q2026 and 4Q2025, compared to $6.9 million in 1Q2025. The expense increase comparing 1Q2026 to 1Q2025 resulted from increases in salaries and benefits, fees for professional services, and occupancy and equipment expenses. Shareholders’ Equity – As of March 31, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $104.6 million, or 9.0% of total assets, compared to $105.6 million, or 9.1% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. While earnings, net of dividends paid, increased shareholders’ equity during 1Q2026, the increase was fully offset by share repurchases during the quarter, combined with an increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the increasing interest rate environment during the quarter. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.40% as of March 31, 2026 compared to 8.56% as of December 31, 2025. Cash Dividend – In 1Q2026, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share on its common stock, consistent with the dividend paid during all four quarters of 2025. Share Repurchases – During 1Q2026, the Company completed the repurchase of 146,500 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.03 per share. All repurchases were completed under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program, which was expanded during 4Q2025. As of March 31, 2026, 1,638,313 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. Regulatory Capital – During 1Q2026, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable banking regulations. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 10.85%, its total capital ratio was 11.99%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.85%. Liquidity – As of March 31, 2026, the Company continued to maintain funding capacity sufficient to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong core deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines with other banking institutions, FHLB advances, the FRB's discount window, and brokered deposits. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for additional discussion of measures of the Company’s liquidity. 3 First US Bancshares, Inc.

Reports First Quarter 2026 Results April 29, 2026 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the financial results presented in this press release that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are beneficial to the reader. These non-GAAP measures have been provided to enhance overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and position. Management believes that these presentations provide meaningful comparisons of financial performance and position in various periods and can be used as a supplement to the GAAP-based measures presented in this press release. The non-GAAP financial results presented should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that both GAAP measures of the Company’s financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together. The non-GAAP measures and ratios that have been provided in this press release include measures of liquidity, pre-tax pre-provision net revenue, tangible assets and equity, and certain ratios that include tangible assets and equity. Discussion of these measures and ratios is included below, along with reconciliations of such non-GAAP measures to GAAP amounts included in the consolidated financial statements previously presented in this press release. Liquidity Measures The table below provides information combining the Company’s on-balance sheet liquidity with readily available off-balance sheet sources of liquidity as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 (Dollars in Thousands) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Liquidity from cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements: Cash and cash equivalents $ 66,586 $ 73,547 Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements 18,850 4,850 Total liquidity from cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements 85,436 78,397 Liquidity from pledgable investment securities: Investment securities available-for sale, at fair value 181,109 168,075 Investment securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost 436 465 Less: securities pledged (66,105 ) (58,497 ) Less: estimated collateral value discounts (10,652 ) (10,671 ) Total liquidity from pledgable investment securities 104,788 99,372 Liquidity from unused lendable collateral (loans) at FHLB 30,183 30,504 Liquidity from unused lendable collateral (loans and securities) at FRB 212,113 210,921 Unsecured lines of credit with banks 48,000 48,000 Total readily available liquidity $ 480,520 $ 467,194 The table above calculates readily available liquidity by combining cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and unencumbered investment security values on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with off-balance sheet liquidity that is readily available through unused collateral pledged to the FHLB and FRB, as well as unsecured lines of credit with other banks. Liquidity from pledgable investment securities and total readily available liquidity are non-GAAP measures used by management and regulators to analyze a portion of the Company's liquidity. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's liquidity position. Pledgable investment securities are considered by management as a readily available source of liquidity since the Company has the ability to pledge the securities with the FHLB or FRB to obtain immediate funding. Both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities may be pledged at fair value with the FHLB and through the FRB discount window. The amounts shown as liquidity from pledgable investment securities represent total investment securities as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, less reductions for securities already pledged and discounts expected to be taken by the lender to determine collateral value. 8 First US Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results April 29, 2026 Excluding wholesale brokered deposits, as of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately 27 thousand deposit accounts with an average balance of approximately $32.8 thousand per account. Estimated uninsured deposits (calculated as deposit amounts per deposit holder in excess of $250 thousand, the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance, and excluding deposits secured by pledged assets) totaled $231.0 million, or 22.1% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, estimated uninsured deposits totaled $218.0 million, or 21.2% of total deposits. Pre-tax Pre-provision Net Revenue The Company utilizes pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) as a supplemental measure of profitability in addition to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including income before income taxes and net income. PPNR measures the Company’s profitability before accounting for the provisions for credit losses and income taxes. Management believes PPNR provides a means to effectively measure the Company’s core operating profitability on a trended basis. In management’s experience, PPNR and PPNR as a percentage of average assets are commonly used by stock analysts and investors in conjunction with their evaluation of financial institutions. The table below reconciles the Company’s calculation of PPNR to amounts recorded in accordance with GAAP. Quarter Ended 2026 2025 March 31, December 31, September 30, June 30, March 31, (Dollars in Thousands) (Unaudited Reconciliation) Net income $1,945 $2,129 $1,936 $155 $1,772 Add: Provision for income taxes 515 798 583 9 554 Add: Provision for credit losses 254 220 566 2,717 528 Pre-tax pre-provision net revenue $2,714 $3,147 $3,085 $2,881 $2,854 Average assets $1,173,390 $1,145,476 $1,130,259 $1,122,342 $1,087,338 PPNR as a percentage of average assets (annualized) 0.94% 1.09% 1.08% 1.03% 1.06% Tangible Balances and Measures In addition to capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators, the Company utilizes various tangible common equity measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. These measures, which are presented in the financial tables in this press release, may also include calculations of tangible assets. As defined by the Company, tangible common equity represents shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, while tangible assets represent total assets less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Management believes that the measures of tangible equity are important because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. In addition, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of the Company’s capitalization to other organizations. In management’s experience, many stock analysts use tangible common equity measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets that typically result from the use of the purchase accounting method in accounting for mergers and acquisitions. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators. Because GAAP does not include these measures, management believes that there are no comparable GAAP financial measures to the tangible common equity ratios that the Company utilizes. Despite the importance of these measures to the Company, there are no standardized definitions for the measures, and, therefore, the Company’s calculations may not be comparable with those of other organizations. In addition, there may be limits to the usefulness of these measures to investors. Accordingly, management encourages readers to consider the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The table below reconciles the Company’s calculations of these measures to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. 9 First US Bancshares, Inc.
