Appendix A – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by us. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS1 Net interest margin was 3.75% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.80% for the second quarter of 2025. Net interest margin was impacted by strong growth in core deposits and timing on loan fundings, resulting in higher average cash for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. Yield on loans increased from 6.22% for second quarter of 2025 compared to 6.26% for the third quarter of 2025 while cost of deposits increased to 2.17% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.14% for the second quarter of 2025. Interest income from purchase accounting accretion for the third quarter of 2025 was $71 thousand more than that recognized in the second quarter of 2025 and $636 thousand less than the third quarter of 2024. NET INTEREST MARGIN 1 Comparisons between Q3 2025 and Q2 2025
Noninterest income was $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, and $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Noninterest income for Q1 2025 included a pre-tax gain of $11.1 million from the Branch Sale. Decrease in other noninterest income at September 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2025 is primarily related to a small decrease in swap fee income. NONINTEREST INCOME 1 Excludes the pre-tax gain of $11.1 million from the Branch Sale in Q1 2025.
Noninterest expense was stable at $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. The incremental increase was primarily associated with an increase in health insurance costs. The efficiency ratio continues to decrease from 64.79% for the second quarter of 2025 to 62.25% for the third quarter of 2025. Disciplined expense management combined with strong asset growth led to a significant decrease in adjusted noninterest expense to average assets of 2.42% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.57% in the second quarter of 2025. NONINTEREST EXPENSE 1 See appendix for reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its comparable GAAP measure. 1 1
THIRD QUARTER 2025 DEPOSIT TRENDS 24.0% of total deposits are noninterest bearing deposits. Total deposits were $2.67 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to $2.46 billion at June 30, 2025.

Brokered deposits were $75.0 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 compared to $103.6 million at December 31, 2024.
