CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT S

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements do not discuss historical facts but instead relate to expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “predict,” “seek,” “potential,” “will,” “estimate,” “target,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “intend,” “goal,” “focus,” “maintains,” “future,” “ultimately, ” “likely,” “ensure,” “strategy,” “objective,” and similar words or phrases. For example, our forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our business plans, expectations, or opportunities for growth; the proposed acquisition of Vista; our anticipated financial performance, expenses, cash requirements and sources of liquidity; and our capital allocation strategies and plans. These statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties. We have based these statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, business strategy and growth prospects.

Forward-looking statements involve certain important risks, uncertainties and other factors, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

our ability to obtain required regulatory or shareholder approvals, which could be delayed due to, among other things, the current U.S. Federal government shutdown, or meet other closing conditions, to complete the acquisition of Vista when expected or at all, and to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction;

business and economic conditions along with external events both generally and in the financial services industry;

susceptibility to credit risk and fluctuations in the value of real estate and other collateral securing a significant portion of our loan portfolio, including with regards to real estate acquired through foreclosure, and the accuracy of appraisals related to such real estate;

insufficiency of the allowance for credit losses and fair value adjustments to absorb losses in our loan portfolio;

our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the requirements of deposit withdrawals and other business needs;

changes and uncertainty impacting monetary supply and the businesses of our clients and counterparties, including levels of market interest rates, inflation, currency values, monetary and fiscal policies, and the volatility of trading markets;

changes in the fair value of our investment securities and the ability of companies in which we invest to commercialize their technology or product concepts;

the loss of certain executive officers and key personnel;

any service interruptions, cyber incidents or other breaches relating to our technology systems, security systems or infrastructure or those of our third-party providers;

the occurrence of fraud or other financial crimes within our business;

competition from other financial institutions and financial services providers and the effects of disintermediation within the banking business including consolidation within the industry;

changes and uncertainty with respect to federal government lending programs like the SBA’s Preferred Lender Program and the FHA’s insurance programs, including the impact of the government shutdown on such programs;

impairment of our mortgage servicing rights, disruption in the secondary market for mortgage loans, declines in real estate values, or being required to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse investors;

developments in technology, such as artificial intelligence, the success of our digital growth strategy, and our ability to incorporate innovative technologies in our business and provide products and services that satisfy our clients’ expectations for convenience and security;

Table of Contents

our ability to execute our organic growth and acquisition strategies;

the accuracy of projected operating results for assets and businesses we acquire as well as our ability to drive organic loan growth to replace loans in our existing portfolio with comparable loans as loans are paid down;

changes and uncertainty with respect to federal, state and local laws, regulations, and policies along with executive orders applicable to our business, including tax laws, tariff policies, and Federal Reserve interest rate policies;

our ability to comply with and manage costs related to extensive government regulation and supervision, including current and future regulations affecting bank holding companies and depository institutions;

the application of any increased assessment rates imposed by the FDIC;

claims or legal action brought against us by third parties or government agencies; and

other factors, risks, trends and uncertainties described under “Part I, Item 1. Business,” “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in our other filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.

National Bank Holdings Corporation is a bank holding company that has elected financial holding company status and was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2009. The Company is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and its primary operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries NBH Bank and BOJHT. NBH Bank is a Colorado state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, and BOJHT is a Wyoming state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company provides a variety of banking products to both commercial and consumer clients through a network of over 90 banking centers, as of September 30, 2025, located primarily in Colorado, the greater Kansas City region, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, New Mexico and Idaho, as well as through online and mobile banking products and services.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the National Bank Holdings Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NBH Bank, BOJHT and 2UniFi, LLC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory agencies. However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years’ amounts are made whenever necessary to conform to current period presentation. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. All amounts are in thousands, except share data, or as otherwise noted.

GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, estimates are based on judgment and available information. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, such as the fair values of financial instruments, contingent liabilities and the ACL. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

During the current period, the balance sheet caption previously titled ‘Non-marketable securities’ was retitled as ‘Other securities’ without effect to the financial statements beyond the retitle.

The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements in addition to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the following:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The update requires public business entities to disclose specific categories related to rate reconciliation. It also requires more detailed information for reconciling items, provided certain quantitative thresholds are met. The amendments in this update will be applied on a prospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The update will not have a material impact on its financial statements apart from the inclusion of additional disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This update improves GAAP by adding an illustrative example that includes four fact patterns to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether a profit interest award

Table of Contents should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2024-01 on January 1, 2025 with no material impact to its financial statements.

Management regularly monitors the investment securities portfolio in its entirety and further evaluates all of the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at each reporting period. The portfolio included 168 securities which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025, compared to 180 securities at December 31, 2024. The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2025 were caused by changes in interest rates. The Company has no intention to sell these securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Certain securities are pledged as collateral for public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and to secure borrowing capacity at the FRB, if needed. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities pledged as collateral totaled $140.8 million and $238.6 million at September 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company may also pledge available-for-sale investment securities as collateral for FHLB advances. No securities were pledged for this purpose at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell any held-to-maturity securities and believes it will not be required to sell any held-to-maturity securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may be modified. Modified loans are discussed in more detail below. There was no interest income recognized from non-accrual loans during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.

The Company’s internal risk rating system uses a series of grades, which reflect our assessment of the credit quality of loans based on an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition, liquidity and ability to meet contractual debt service requirements and are categorized as “Pass,” “Special mention,” “Substandard” and “Doubtful.” For a description of the general characteristics of the risk grades, refer to note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents Loans evaluated individually

We evaluate loans individually when they no longer share risk characteristics with pooled loans. These loans include loans on non-accrual status, loans in bankruptcy, and modified loans as described below. If a specific allowance is warranted based on the borrower’s overall financial condition, the specific allowance is calculated based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan’s initial contractual effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs for collateral-dependent loans.

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Management individually evaluates collateral-dependent loans with an amortized cost basis of $250 thousand or more and includes collateral-dependent loans less than $250 thousand within the general allowance population. The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans over $250 thousand was as follows at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Loan modifications

The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. The Company considers loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, where such a concession is utilized, to be TDMs. TDMs may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof.

Accrual of interest is resumed on loans that were previously on non-accrual only after the loan has performed sufficiently for a period of time. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had two TDMs with amortized costs totaling $2.5 million that were modified within the past 12 months, utilizing a payment delay and a term extension, that defaulted on their modified terms. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had no TDMs that were modified within the past 12 months that defaulted on their modified terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had two TDMs with an amortized cost totaling $5.7 million that were modified within the past 12 months, utilizing a payment delay and a combination of a term extension and a payment delay, that defaulted on their modified terms. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default” to mean 90 days or more past due on principal or interest. The allowance for credit losses related to TDMs on non-accrual status is determined by individual evaluation, including collateral adequacy, using the same process as loans on non-accrual status which are not classified as TDMs.

In evaluating the loan portfolio for an appropriate ACL level, excluding loans evaluated individually, loans were grouped into segments based on broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within the segments, the portfolio was further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics for purposes of developing the underlying data used within the discounted cash flow model including, but not limited to, prepayment and recovery rates as well as loss rates tied to macro-economic conditions within management’s reasonable and supportable forecast. The ACL also includes subjective adjustments based upon qualitative risk factors including asset quality, loss trends, lending management, portfolio growth and loan review/internal audit results.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses totaled $88.3 million and $94.5 million, respectively. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the resolution of non-performing loans and changes in the CECL model’s underlying macro-economic forecast. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded provision release for funded loans totaling $1.5 million, primarily driven by the recovery of one previously charged off credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded provision expense for credit losses totaling $8.7 million, including $9.0 million provision expense for funded loans and $0.3 million of provision release for unfunded loan commitments. Provision expense for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was recorded primarily to cover a charge-off on one credit due to suspected fraudulent activity by the borrower. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded provision expense for credit losses on funded loans totaling $2.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded provision expense for credit losses totaling $4.8 million, including $4.7 million of provision expense for funded loans and $0.1 million of provision expense for unfunded loan commitments. Net recoveries on loans during the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $0.9 million. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $15.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, net charge-offs on loans totaled $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

In connection with our acquisitions, the Company’s goodwill was $306.0 million as of September 30, 2025. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024.

The gross carrying amounts of other intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are presented as follows:

Fair value of mortgage servicing rights $ 4,286 $ 6,925

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company sold rights to service loans totaling $203.7 million in unpaid principal balances from our mortgage servicing rights portfolio. As a result of the sale, the book value of our mortgage servicing rights intangible decreased $1.8 million and generated a pre-tax gain of $0.6 million included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of MSRs was determined based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis included assumptions for discount rates and prepayment speeds. Discount rates ranged from 9.5% to 10.0% and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 6.6% to 12.4% for the September 30, 2025 valuation. The discount rate ranged from 10.0% to 10.5%, and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 6.9% to 17.6% for the September 30, 2024 valuation. Included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations was servicing income of $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

MSRs are evaluated and impairment is recognized to the extent fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company evaluates impairment by stratifying MSRs based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including loan type and loan term. The Company is amortizing the MSRs in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income of the underlying loans.

The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense during the next five years for the MSRs as of the periods presented:

Note 9 Regulatory Capital

As a bank holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company, the Company, NBH Bank and BOJHT are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements implemented by the Federal Reserve, in addition to those implemented by the FDIC for NBH Bank and BOJHT, including maintaining capital positions at the “well-capitalized” level. The federal banking agencies have risk based capital adequacy regulations intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations. Under these regulations, assets are assigned to one of several risk categories, and nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by a risk adjustment percentage for the category. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if the Company, NBH Bank or BOJHT fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a material effect on our financial statements and business generally.

Note 10 Revenue from Contracts with Clients

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with clients are satisfied. Below is the detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients, including service charges and other deposit account related fees, bank card fees and other non-interest income. Other non-interest income includes trust and wealth management fees and Cambr fee income.

32

Table of Contents Service charges and other account-related fees

Service charge fees are primarily comprised of monthly service fees, check orders and other deposit account related fees. Other fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to clients’ accounts.

Bank card fees

Bank card fees are primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income and other fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Bank cardholder uses a non-Bank ATM or a non-Bank cardholder uses a Bank ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Company’s performance obligation for bank card fees is largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Other non-interest income

Trust and wealth management fees

The trust and wealth management business offers separately managed investment account solutions and trustee services to clients.

Services may include custody of assets, trustee services, wealth management, and directed trusts. The Company charges an asset-based fee earned for personal and corporate accounts. Additional fees may include minimum annual fees, fees for additional tax reporting and preparation for irrevocable trust returns or annual flat fees for certain trusts. The performance obligations related to this revenue include items such as performing investment advisory services, custody and record-keeping services, and fund administrative and accounting services. The performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of service and fees are generally a fixed flat rate or based on a percentage of the account’s market value per the contract with the client. These fees are recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cambr fee income

Cambr operates a deposit acquisition and processing platform that generates core deposits from accounts offered through third-party embedded finance companies. Cambr’s platform facilitates the movement of embedded finance companies’ client deposits into FDIC-insured accounts at banks within Cambr’s network. Cambr generates fee income by charging a percentage-based fee of the deposit balance placed into the Cambr network. The performance obligation is satisfied upon completion of service, and Cambr fee income is recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other non-interest expense

Included within other non-interest expense are gains and losses from OREO sales, which are recognized when the Company meets its performance obligation to transfer title to the buyer. The gain or loss is measured as the excess of the proceeds received compared to the OREO carrying value. Sales proceeds are received in cash at the time of transfer.

Contract acquisition costs

The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to expense immediately contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company has not capitalized any contract acquisition costs.

Note 11 Stock-based Compensation and Benefits

The Company provides stock-based compensation in accordance with shareholder-approved plans.

To date, the Company has issued stock options, restricted stock and PSUs under the plans. The Compensation Committee sets the option exercise price at the time of grant, but in no case is the exercise price less than the fair market value of a share of company common stock at the date of grant.

Stock options

At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 546,546 and 625,115 stock options outstanding, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $32.96 and $32.60, respectively. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Stock option expense is a component of salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $15.3 thousand and $68.7 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, stock option expense totaled $57.1 thousand and $263.8 thousand, respectively. At September 30, 2025, there was $35.2 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.6 years.

Restricted stock awards

The Company issues time-based restricted stock awards that generally vest over a range of a 1-3 year period. Restricted stock with time-based vesting was valued at the fair value of the shares on the date of grant as they are assumed to be held beyond the vesting period.

Performance stock units

The Company grants PSUs whereby the recorded fair value represents the value of the award at the initial target performance and does not reflect potential increases or decreases resulting from the final performance results, which are to be determined at the end of the three-year performance period (vesting date). The actual number of shares to be awarded at the end of the performance period will range from 0% - 150% of the initial target awards. For PSU components granted in 2025, one-third of the award is based on the Company’s cumulative earnings per share (EPS target), one-third is based on the Company’s relative ROTA, and one-third is based on the Company’s cumulative TSR during the performance period. On the vesting date, the Company’s annual ROTA will be compared

34

Table of Contents to the respective ROTAs of companies comprising the S&P 600 Regional Banks group. The Company’s ranking will be averaged over the measurement period to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the ROTA award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. On the vesting date, the Company’s TSR will be compared to the respective TSRs of the companies comprising the S&P 600 Regional Banks group at the grant date to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the TSR target portion of the award was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation at the grant date. The fair value of the EPS target portion of the award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

For the awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the weighted-average grant date fair value per unit of the EPS target portion, ROTA target portion and TSR target portion was $38.44, $38.44, and $32.19, respectively. The initial weighted-average performance price for the TSR target portion granted during 2025 was $45.14. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company awarded an additional 3,723 PSUs due to final performance results related to PSUs granted in 2022.

The following table summarizes restricted stock and PSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Weighted Weighted

Unvested at September 30, 2025 331,950 $ 35.79 216,245 $ 34.06

As of September 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards and PSUs totaled $6.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years and 2.0 years, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards totaled $1.6 million and $4.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.4 million and $3.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Expense related to non-vested PSUs totaled $0.5 million and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards and PSUs is a component of salaries and benefits expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Employee stock purchase plan

The 2014 ESPP is intended to be a qualified plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions up to a limit of $25,000 per calendar year and 2,000 shares per offering period. The price an employee pays for shares is 90.0% of the fair market value of Company common stock on the last day of the offering period. The offering periods are the six-month periods commencing on March 1 and September 1 of each year and ending on August 31 and February 28 (or February 29 in the case of a leap year) of each year. There are no vesting or other restrictions on the stock purchased by employees under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance totaled 400,000 shares, of which 196,759 was available for issuance at September 30, 2025.

Under the ESPP, employees purchased 17,771 shares and 21,389 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 12 Common Stock

The Company had 37,815,589 and 38,054,482 shares of Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company had 331,950 and 292,014 shares outstanding at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of restricted Class A common stock issued but not yet vested under the 2023 Plan that are not included in shares outstanding until such time that they are vested; however, these shares do have voting and certain dividend rights during the vesting period.

35

Table of Contents On May 9, 2023, the Company announced a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s stock from time to time either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC, as authorized by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 240,000 shares of common stock for $8.8 million at a weighted average price per share of $36.66. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 359,300 shares of common stock for $13.0 million at a weighted average price per share of $36.28. The remaining authorization under the current program as of September 30, 2025 was $37.0 million. No time limit has been set for completion of the program.

Note 13 Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method, as certain non-vested share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. As such, these awards are considered securities that participate in the earnings of the Company. Non-vested shares are discussed further in note 11.

The Company had 37,815,589 and 37,988,364 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, exclusive of issued non-vested restricted shares. Certain stock options and non-vested restricted shares are potentially dilutive securities, but are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

For the three months ended For the nine months ended

Income allocated to common shareholders $ 34,978 $ 33,016 $ 92,742 $ 90,389
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per common share 37,911,643 38,277,042 38,018,090 38,173,469

Basic earnings per share $ 0.92 $ 0.86 $ 2.44 $ 2.37
Diluted earnings per share 0.92 0.86 2.43 2.36

The Company had 546,546 and 625,115 outstanding stock options to purchase common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $32.96 and $32.60 per share at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which have time-vesting criteria. As such, any dilution is derived only for the timeframe in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those stock options is dilutive. The Company had 216,245 and 200,400 unvested PSUs issued as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which have performance, market and/or time-vesting criteria, and as such, any dilution is derived only for the timeframe in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those units is dilutive.

Note 14 Derivatives

Risk management objective of using derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company has established policies stipulating that neither carrying value nor fair value at risk should exceed established guidelines. The Company has designed strategies to confine these risks within the established limits and identify appropriate trade-offs in the financial structure of its balance sheet. These strategies include the use of derivative financial instruments to help achieve the desired balance sheet repricing structure while meeting the desired objectives of its clients. Currently, the Company employs certain interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and economic hedges. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Table of Contents Fair values of derivative instruments on the balance sheet

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Information about the valuation methods used to measure fair value is provided in note 16.

Cash flow hedges

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses floors and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.

For derivatives that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis. The earnings recognition of excluded components is included in interest income. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s variable-rate assets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $100.0 million. The Company expects to reclassify $0.5 million from AOCI as a reduction to interest income during the next 12 months.

Fair value hedges

Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $352.1 million and $348.5 million, respectively, which were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk.

37

Table of Contents For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives. The following table presents the Company’s fixed-rate loans associated with the interest rate swaps and the loss included in loans receivable in the statements of financial condition as of the dates shown:

--- --- ---
(1) Fair value hedge adjustments included basis adjustments on terminated positions to be amortized through the contractual maturity date of each respective hedged item. Excluding those terminated positions, the fair value hedge adjustments consisted of losses totaling $19.5 million and $31.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Non-designated hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and consist of interest rate swaps with commercial banking clients that facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the client swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had matched interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $761.4 million and $840.9 million, respectively, related to this program. Derivative fee income from non-designated hedges totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, derivative fee income from non-designated hedges totaled $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the clients have locked into that interest rate. The Company then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Fair value changes of certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are hedged with forward sales contracts of MBS. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in non-interest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying assets. The fair value of the underlying assets is impacted by current interest rates, remaining origination fees, costs of production to be incurred and the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to any MBS contract to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Company fails to deliver the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to “pair off” MBS to the counterparty. Should this be required, the Company could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans and such costs could have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the mortgage banking derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

The Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $30.3 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $35.8 million at September 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $20.0 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $29.2 million.

Table of Contents Credit-risk-related contingent features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness for reasons other than an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty has the right to terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of September 30, 2025, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was zero. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and, as of September 30, 2025, the Company had met these thresholds. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments to help meet the financing needs of clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The same credit policies are applied to these commitments as the loans in the consolidated statements of financial condition; however, these commitments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, the contractual amount of these commitments, offset by any additional collateral pledged, represents the Company’s potential credit loss exposure.

Total unfunded commitments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Commitments to fund loans $ 521,429 $ 663,859
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit 695,780 752,861
Commercial and standby letters of credit 9,534 10,760
Total unfunded commitments $ 1,226,743 $ 1,427,480

Commitments to fund loans—Commitments to fund loans are legally binding agreements to lend to clients in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions provided there have been no violations of any conditions specified in the contract. These commitments are generally at variable interest rates and are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments are not necessarily representative of future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit—In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends revolving credit to its clients. These arrangements may require the payment of a fee.

Commercial and standby letters of credit—The Company routinely issues commercial and standby letters of credit, which may be financial standby letters of credit or performance standby letters of credit. These are various forms of “back-up” commitments to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. While these arrangements represent a potential cash outlay for the Company, the majority of these letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon. Letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and credit approval process as traditional loans, and as such, many of them have various forms of collateral securing the commitment, which may include real estate, personal property, receivables or marketable securities.

Contingencies

Mortgage loans sold to investors may be subject to repurchase or indemnification in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting standards were not met. The Company established a reserve liability for expected losses related to these representations and warranties based upon management’s evaluation of actual and historical loss history, delinquency

Charges against the reserve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaling $51 thousand and $117 thousand, respectively, were primarily driven by early payoffs and repurchases. Charges against the reserve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaling $20 thousand and $56 thousand, respectively, were primarily driven by early payoffs and repurchases. The repurchase reserve is included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and NBH Bank may be subject to litigation. Based upon the available information and advice from the Company’s legal counsel, management does not believe that any potential, threatened or pending litigation to which it is, or reasonably would become, a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 16 Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For disclosure purposes, the Company groups its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities into three different levels based on the nature of the instrument and the availability and reliability of the information that is used to determine fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Includes assets or liabilities in which the valuation methodologies are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodologies are based on similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds and other inputs obtained from observable market input.
--- ---
Level 3—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodology are based on at least one significant assumption that is not observable in the marketplace. These valuations may rely on management’s judgment and may include internally developed model-based valuation techniques.
--- ---

Level 1 inputs are considered to be the most transparent and reliable and level 3 inputs are considered to be the least transparent and reliable. The Company assumes the use of the principal market to conduct a transaction of each particular asset or liability being measured and then considers the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Whenever possible, the Company first looks for quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (level 1 inputs) to value each asset or liability. However, when inputs from identical assets or liabilities on active markets are not available, the Company utilizes market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and limits the use of unobservable inputs to occasions when observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity of the actual financial instrument or of the underlying collateral. While third-party price indications may be available in those cases, limited trading activity can challenge the observability of those inputs.

Changes in the valuation inputs used for measuring the fair value of financial instruments may occur due to changes in current market conditions or other factors. Such changes may necessitate a transfer of the financial instruments to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfer occurs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers of financial instruments between the hierarchy levels.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available-for-sale—Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. To the extent possible, observable quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value and, as such, these securities are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or other pricing characteristics are used to estimate fair values and the securities are then classified as level 2.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values—Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are generally traded on an exchange and market prices are readily available. These securities are carried at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted market prices and are classified as level 1.

Loans held for sale—The Company has elected to record loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market at estimated fair value. The portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate residential mortgage loans that are sold within 45 days. The Company estimates fair value based on quoted market prices for similar loans in the secondary market and are classified as level 2.

Interest rate swap derivatives—The Company’s derivative instruments are limited to interest rate swaps that may be accounted for as fair value hedges or non-designated hedges. The fair values of the swaps incorporate credit valuation adjustments in order to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The credit valuation adjustment is the dollar amount of the fair value adjustment related to credit risk and utilizes a probability weighted calculation to quantify the potential loss over the life of the trade. The credit valuation adjustments are calculated by determining the total expected exposure of the derivatives (which incorporates both the current and potential future exposure) and then applying the respective counterparties’ credit spreads to the exposure offset by marketable collateral posted, if any. Certain derivative transactions are executed with counterparties who are large financial institutions, or dealers. ISDA Master Agreements are employed for all contracts with dealers. These contracts contain bilateral collateral arrangements. The fair value inputs of these financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flow analysis through the use of third-party models whose significant inputs are readily observable market parameters, primarily yield curves, with appropriate adjustments for liquidity and credit risk, and are classified as level 2.

Mortgage banking derivatives—The Company relies on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an average 88.1% estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups. The Company also relies on an external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as conditions warrant. These non-recurring fair value measurements typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.

Individually evaluated loans—The Company records individually evaluated loans based on the fair value of the collateral when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The Company relies on third-party appraisals and internal assessments, utilizing a discount rate in the range of 6% - 32% with a weighted average discount rate of 9.9%, in determining the estimated fair values of these loans. The inputs used to determine the fair values of loans are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $4.8 million related to 14 loans with a carrying balance of $16.9 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $4.7 million related to 11 loans with a carrying balance of $19.5 million.

Mortgage servicing rights—MSRs represent the value associated with servicing residential real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The fair value for servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes a discount rate and weighted average rate ranging from 9.5% to 10.0% at September 30, 2025 and prepayment speed assumption ranges of 6.6% to 12.4% with a weighted average rate of 6.9% at September 30, 2025. The weighted average MSRs are subject to impairment testing. The carrying values of these MSRs are reviewed quarterly for impairment based upon the calculation of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the MSRs are stratified into certain risk characteristics including note type and note term. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, MSRs are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance and the adjustment is included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded impairments totaling zero and $13 thousand, respectively. The inputs used to determine the fair values of MSRs are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

SBA servicing asset—The SBA servicing asset represents the value associated with servicing small business real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The fair value for the SBA servicing asset is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes a weighted average discount rate of 10.8% and a weighted average lifetime constant prepayment rate of 16.1%. The SBA servicing asset is amortized over the period of the estimated future net servicing life of the underlying assets, and it is evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. Impairment is recognized on the income statement to the extent the fair value is less than the capitalized amount of the SBA servicing asset. The Company recorded $41.0 thousand of net impairment and no impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company may be required to record fair value adjustments on other available-for-sale and municipal securities valued at par on a non-recurring basis.

The tables below provide information regarding losses from assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

September 30, 2025

Table of Contents Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is determined based upon quoted market prices to the extent possible; however, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques that may be significantly impacted by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Changes in any of these assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the financial instruments listed below does not reflect a premium or discount that could result from offering all of the Company’s holdings of financial instruments at one time, nor does it reflect the underlying value of the Company, as ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price concept within ASC Topic 825 and applied to this disclosure on a prospective basis. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Our investment securities portfolio has a short average duration and is largely backed by U.S. government or government sponsored entities, which we believe mitigates the risk of material losses. Regarding the fair value of investment securities, our accumulated other comprehensive loss does not have a material impact on our capital position. The ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets was 13.5% at September 30, 2025, compared to 13.3% at December 31, 2024. Our tangible common equity capital ratio, which includes the accumulated other comprehensive loss, totaled 10.6% at September 30, 2025, compared to 10.2% at December 31, 2024.

Revenues

Net interest income FTE increased $7.6 million to $268.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The net interest margin FTE widened 15 basis points to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a 22 basis point improvement in the cost of funds and partially offset by a seven basis point decrease in earning asset yields. The cost of funds was 2.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest income increased $3.0 million to $53.1 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to $3.3 million of unrealized gains on partnership investments, a $0.9 million increase in the gains on sales of previously consolidated banking center properties, and a $0.7 million increase in trust income.

Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest expense increased $2.1 million to $192.2 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding $1.7 million of acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expense totaled $190.5 million. When adjusting for the impact of acquisition-related expenses and $1.7 million increase in 2UniFi expenses impacting the quarter, the Company remains on track to deliver the results expected from the expense reduction actions taken during the second quarter.
The efficiency ratio improved 1.31% to 60.93% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The adjusted FTE efficiency ratio, excluding other intangible assets amortization, improved 1.82% to 57.46% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 59.28% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Income tax expense totaled $21.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $19.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 18.3%, compared to 18.2% for the full year 2024.

Strong capital position

Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. At September 30, 2025, our consolidated tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.49%, and our consolidated common equity tier 1 and tier 1 risk based capital ratios were 14.69%.
At September 30, 2025, common book value per share was $36.36. Tangible common book value per share increased $2.17 to $27.45, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by earnings after covering quarterly dividends and a $0.51 improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the interest rate environment. These increases were partially offset $0.11 by the impact of share buybacks.

Key Challenges

Macroeconomic pressures, including uncertainty in tariff policies, have resulted in volatility and uncertainty in the banking industry and many other industries. The sustained higher-interest rate environment and wait-and-see attitudes of clients are drawing increased scrutiny on financial institutions. Liquidity within the financial services sector has tightened, and we expect the intense competition for deposits throughout our markets to continue. While these are widespread challenges for the banking industry, the Company has not experienced a material impact to our financial condition, operations, client base, liquidity, capital position or risk profile.

Additionally, we face continual challenges implementing our business strategy. These include growing our assets, particularly loans, and deposits amidst intense competition, changing interest rates, adhering to changes in the regulatory environment and identifying and consummating disciplined acquisition and other expansionary opportunities in a very competitive and inflationary environment. In connection with our digital growth strategy and our digital financial ecosystem 2UniFi, we have made and will continue to make investments in and also partner with third-party fintech companies. The innovations these companies develop for utilization by 2UniFi may prove difficult to successfully integrate into our existing operations and may require additional operational and control systems to manage fraud, cybersecurity, operational, legal and compliance risks.

Future growth in our interest income will ultimately be dependent on our ability to originate high-quality loans and source other high-quality earning assets such as investment securities as well as our ability to access liquidity and manage our cost of funds. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Federal Reserve increased prevailing interest rates by a total of 100 and 425 basis points, respectively. In the second half of 2024, the Federal Reserve decreased the prevailing interest rates by a total of 100 basis points, and during the third quarter of 2025 the Federal Reserve decreased the prevailing interest rates by 25 basis points. While further cuts in 2025 remain unclear, our future earnings will be impacted by the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate policy decisions. Management employs risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to changes in market rates, which is discussed in more detail in the Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Table of Contents About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures and ratios presented in the tables within this About Non-GAAP Financial Measures section are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on an FTE basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

We use accounting principles and methods that conform to GAAP and general banking practices. We are required to apply significant judgment and make material estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and with regard to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Assumptions and estimates are required to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. The most significant of these estimates relate to the determination of the ACL.

Allowance for credit losses

The determination of the ACL, which represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company estimates the ACL by first disaggregating the loan portfolio into segments based upon broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within these segments, the portfolio is further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics. The ACL is determined at the class level, analyzing loss history based upon specific loss drivers and risk factors affecting each loan class. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool that incorporates forecasts of certain national macroeconomic factors (reasonable and supportable forecasts) which drive the losses predicted in establishing the Company’s ACL. Management accounts for the inherent uncertainty of the underlying economic forecast by reviewing and weighting alternate forecast scenarios. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis. Additionally, the ACL calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The update will eliminate the accounting consideration of software project development stages and enhance the guidance around the threshold for cost capitalization. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and can be applied using a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach or a retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from ASU 2025-06.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The update is related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606. It allows all entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The update also allows for an accounting policy election, which is not applicable to public business entities. Entities are required to disclose whether they have elected to use the practical expedient and, if applicable, the accounting policy election. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and are to be applied on a

55

Table of Contents prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact from ASU 2025-05 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The update requires public business entities to disclose specific components of certain expense categories. This includes expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and are to be applied on a prospective basis with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact from ASU 2024-03 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements apart from the inclusion of additional disclosures.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, nearly all the available-for-sale investment portfolio was backed by mortgages. The residential mortgage pass-through securities portfolio is comprised of both fixed rate and adjustable rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities. The other mortgage-backed securities are comprised of securities backed by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

Table of Contents Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average life of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 4.6 years and 5.3 years at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the duration of the total available-for-sale investment portfolio was 3.9 years and 4.3 years, respectively.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, adjustable rate securities comprised 13.6% and 5.9%, respectively, of the available-for-sale MBS portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio was comprised of fixed rate amortizing securities with 10- to 30-year contractual maturities, with a weighted average coupon of 2.42% per annum and 2.31% per annum at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The available-for-sale investment portfolio included $69.0 million of unrealized losses and $2.8 million of unrealized gains at September 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the available-for-sale investment portfolio included $90.9 million of unrealized losses and $0.5 million of unrealized gains. We believe any unrealized losses are a result of prevailing interest rates, and as such, we do not believe that any of the securities with unrealized losses were impaired. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Our investment security portfolio consists of high-quality securities, which are largely backed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity issues.

Held-to-maturity

Held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $689.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $533.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $156.4 million, or 29.3%. Purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $260.3 million. There were no purchases of held-to-maturity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Paydowns and maturities totaled $105.0 million and $47.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The residential mortgage pass-through and other residential MBS held-to-maturity investment portfolios are comprised of fixed rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $61.2 million of unrealized losses and $2.5 million of unrealized gains at September 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $81.8 million of unrealized losses and $51 thousand of unrealized gains.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or groups of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio

Total $ 80,526 $ 76,462

Other securities included FRB stock, FHLB stock, convertible preferred stock, equity method investments and equity securities with readily determinable fair values. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, purchases of other securities totaled $50.0 million, and proceeds from redemptions and sales of other securities totaled $48.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, purchases of other securities totaled $26.2 million, and proceeds from other securities totaled $42.6 million. Purchases consisted primarily of FHLB stock, and proceeds consisted primarily of redemptions of FHLB stock. Changes in the Company’s FHLB stock holdings directly correlated to FHLB line of credit advances and paydowns.

FRB and FHLB stock

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held FRB stock and FHLB stock for regulatory or debt facility purposes. These are restricted securities which, lacking a market, are carried at cost. There have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have an adverse effect on the FRB and FHLB stock carried at cost.

Convertible preferred stock

Other securities include convertible preferred stock without a readily determinable fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no purchases of convertible preferred stock. One convertible preferred stock investment underwent an initial public offering and was reclassified as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value during the third quarter of 2025. The Company purchased zero and $0.4 million of convertible preferred stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $3.9 million of impairment on convertible preferred stock related to venture capital investments, included in other non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company also sold convertible preferred stock totaling $1.0 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which generated realized gains of $0.1 million recorded in other non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Equity method investments

Other securities also include equity method investments totaling $33.3 million and $28.0 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a $5.0 million investment in Nav, a credit and financial health platform for small business owners. The Company recorded net unrealized gains on equity method investments totaling $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized gains on equity method investments totaling $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These gains and losses were recorded in other non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded no

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, one convertible preferred stock investment underwent an initial public offering and was reclassified as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value totaling $4.1 million at September 30, 2025. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are generally traded on an exchange and market prices are readily available. Unrealized gains or losses on equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recognized in other non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $2.1 million of unrealized gains from equity securities with readily determinable fair values.

The Company maintains a granular and well-diversified loan portfolio with self-imposed concentration limits. At September 30, 2025, loans totaled $7.4 billion, compared to $7.8 billion at December 31, 2024.

Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio is highly diversified across industry sectors and geography. At September 30, 2025, there were no industry sectors representing more than 15.0% of our total loan portfolio. Key sectors included government/non-profit loans of $907.6 million, or 12.2% of total loans, and health care/hospital loans of $501.6 million, or 6.8% of total loans. The commercial and industrial portfolio also includes loans to companies that operate in the transportation industry. The transportation industry, trucking in particular, has experienced recent economic challenges. As a result of these industry challenges, some of the transportation loans may be subject to higher credit risk. The Company’s exposure to this industry is small, consisting of $151.4 million, or 2.0% of total loans, at September 30, 2025.

59

Table of Contents Non-owner occupied CRE loans were 132.3% of the Company’s risk based capital, or 22.1% of total loans, and no specific property type comprised more than 10.0% of total loans. The Company maintains little exposure to non-owner occupied CRE retail properties and office properties, comprising 2.1% and 1.1% of total loans, respectively. Multifamily loans totaled $301.2 million, or 4.1% of total loans, at September 30, 2025.

The agriculture industry continues to be impacted by volatile commodity prices and generally by higher input costs, combining to stress margins. Our food and agribusiness portfolio is 3.2% of total loans and is well-diversified across food production, crop and livestock types. Crop and livestock loans represent 1.2% of total loans. We have maintained relationships with food and agribusiness clients that generally possess low leverage and, correspondingly, low bank debt to assets, minimizing any potential credit losses in the future.

New loan origination is a direct result of our ability to recruit and retain top banking talent, connect with clients in our markets and provide needed services at competitive rates. Loan fundings totaled $1.5 billion over the trailing 12 months, led by commercial loan fundings of $997.3 million. Fundings are defined as closed-end funded loans and revolving lines of credit advances, net of any current period paydowns. Management utilizes this more conservative definition of fundings to better approximate the impact of fundings on loans outstanding and ultimately net interest income.

The following table represents new loan fundings for the periods presented:

Asset quality

Asset quality is fundamental to our success and remains a strong point, driven by our disciplined adherence to our self-imposed concentration limits across industry sector and real estate property type. Accordingly, for the origination of loans, we have established a credit policy that allows for responsive, yet controlled lending with credit approval requirements that are scaled to loan size. Within the scope of the credit policy, each prospective loan is reviewed in order to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of the loan characteristics and the security or collateral prior to making a loan. We have established underwriting standards and loan origination procedures that require appropriate documentation, including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, we require property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance and flood insurance, in each case where appropriate.

Additionally, we have implemented procedures to timely identify loans that may become problematic in order to ensure the most beneficial resolution for the Company. Asset quality is monitored by our credit risk management department and evaluated based on quantitative and subjective factors such as the timeliness of contractual payments received. Additional factors that are considered, particularly with commercial loans over $500,000, include the financial condition and liquidity of individual borrowers and guarantors, if any, and the value of our collateral. To facilitate the oversight of asset quality, loans are categorized based on the number of days past due and on an internal risk rating system, and both are discussed in more detail below.

The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. Such modified loans are considered TDMs. TDMs may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof. TDMs are discussed further in note 5 of our consolidated financial statements. Assets that have been foreclosed on or acquired through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as OREO until sold, and are carried at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, with any initial valuation adjustments charged to the ACL and any subsequent declines in carrying value charged to impairments on OREO.

Non-performing assets and past due loans

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and OREO. Interest income that would have been recorded had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Past due status is monitored as an indicator of credit deterioration. Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are put on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing interest improved 11 basis points to 0.19% of total loans at September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest improved three basis points to 0.16% of total loans at September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024.

Allowance for credit losses

The ACL represents the amount that we believe is necessary to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool to establish expected lifetime credit losses for the loan portfolio. The ACL is calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the projections from the DCF analysis. The DCF model allows for individual lifetime loan cash flow modeling, excluding extensions and renewals, using loan-specific interest rates and repayment schedules including estimated prepayment rates and loss recovery timing delays. The model incorporates forecasts of certain national macro-economic factors, including unemployment rates, HPI, retail sales and GDP, which drive correlated loss rates. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are subject to change. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis.

We measure expected credit losses for groups of loans included in segments with similar risk characteristics. We have identified four primary loan segments within the ACL model that are further stratified into 11 loan classes to provide more granularity in analyzing loss history and to allow for more definitive qualitative adjustments based upon specific risk factors affecting each loan class. Generally, the underlying risk of loss for each of these loan segments will follow certain norms/trends in various economic environments. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Following are the loan classes within each of the four primary loan segments:

Non-owner occupied
Commercial commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer
Commercial and industrial Construction Senior lien Consumer
Owner occupied commercial real estate Acquisition and development Junior lien
Food and agribusiness Multifamily
Municipal and non-profit Non-owner occupied

Loans on non-accrual, in bankruptcy and TDMs with a balance greater than $250 thousand are excluded from the pooled analysis and are evaluated individually. If management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are evaluated based on the criteria listed below, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Typically, these loans consist of commercial, commercial real estate and

Table of Contents agriculture loans and exclude homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer loans. Specific allowances are determined by collectively analyzing:

the borrower’s resources, ability and willingness to repay in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement;
the likelihood of receiving financial support from any guarantors;
the adequacy and present value of future cash flows, less disposal costs, of any collateral; and
the impact current economic conditions may have on the borrower’s financial condition and liquidity or the value of the collateral.

The resulting ACL for loans is calculated as the sum of the general reserves, specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, and qualitative factor adjustments. While these amounts are calculated by individual loan or by segment and class, the entire ACL is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged off. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are subject to change. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses totaled $88.3 million and $94.5 million, respectively. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the resolution of non-performing loans and changes in the CECL model’s underlying macro-economic forecast. Specific reserves on loans totaled $4.8 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, net recoveries totaled $0.9 million and net charge-offs totaled $15.2 million, respectively. Charge-offs were elevated during the first quarter of 2025 due to an $8.9 million charge-off from one credit due to suspected fraud by the borrower, which the Company believes is an isolated circumstance within the loan portfolio. The ratio of annualized net recoveries to average total loans totaled 0.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Net charge-offs on loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.18% and 0.13%, respectively.

The Company has elected to exclude AIR from the ACL calculation. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, AIR from loans totaled $45.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, any recorded AIR is reversed against interest income.

Total ACL

After considering the above-mentioned factors, we believe that the ACL of $88.3 million is adequate to cover estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2025. However, it is likely that future adjustments to the ACL will be necessary. Any changes to the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates, including but not limited to changes in the underlying macro-economic forecast, used in determining the ACL, could negatively or positively affect the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Results of Operations

Our net income depends largely on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by provisions for credit losses and non-interest income, such as service charges, bank card income, swap fee income, and gain on sale of mortgages. Our primary operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, telecommunications data processing expense, FDIC deposit insurance and intangible assets amortization. Any expenses related to the resolution of problem assets are also included in non-interest expense.

Net interest income

We regularly review net interest income metrics to provide us with indicators of how the various components of net interest income are performing. We regularly review: (i) our loan mix and the yield on loans; (ii) the investment portfolio and the related yields; (iii) our deposit mix and the cost of deposits; and (iv) net interest income simulations for various forecast periods.

Provision for credit losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense that is necessary to bring the ACL to a level that we deem appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio and estimated losses inherent in unfunded loans as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the ACL, and the resultant provision for credit losses, is subjective and involves significant estimates and assumptions.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. Provisions of the bill allowed companies to take an immediate deduction of domestic research and experimentation expenditures effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. For unamortized domestic research and experimentation expenses capitalized from 2022 to 2024, the bill also allows companies to elect to deduct the remaining costs either fully in 2025 or ratably over two years. The Company elected to fully deduct the remaining costs in 2025. The bill also permanently reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025. As a result of these provisions, the company recorded a deferred tax expense of $8.9 million during the third quarter of 2025 related to the remeasurement and decrease in its deferred tax balances.

Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in note 19 of our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management. The Company maintains a robust liquidity profile at its holding company and the Banks, collectively as well as separately. The Company is prudently managing liquidity in the current environment and maintains a liquidity profile focused on core deposits and stable long-term funding sources. Liquidity is supplemented with a variety of secured and unsecured wholesale funding sources across the maturity spectrum, which allows for the effective management of concentration and rollover risk. The Company’s corporate treasury team measures liquidity needs through daily cash monitoring, weekly cash projections and monthly liquidity measures reviewed in conjunction with Board-approved liquidity policy limits. The Company also regularly conducts stress tests to its Board-approved contingency funding plan to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding concerns resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into the contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs and are monitored monthly by our Asset and Liability Committee.

The Company’s primary sources of funds include revenue from interest income and noninterest income, as well as cash flows from loan repayments, payments from securities related to maturities and amortization, the sale of loans, and funds generated by deposits, in addition to the use of funds from private debt offerings.

On-balance sheet liquidity is represented by our cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered investment securities, and is detailed in the table below as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Cash and due from banks $ 555,560 $ 127,848
Unencumbered investment securities, at fair value 620,363 319,949
Total $ 1,175,923 $ 447,797

75

Table of Contents Total on-balance sheet liquidity increased $728.1 million at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, due to higher cash and due from banks of $427.7 million and higher unencumbered investment securities of $300.4 million. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $622.4 million of investment securities were pledged to the FRB and to secure client deposits and repurchase agreements.

The Company’s investment portfolio remains positioned in liquid and readily marketable instruments and is a significant source of on-balance sheet collateral to secure borrowing capacity. Our investment securities portfolio is evaluated under established Asset and Liability Committee objectives and is structured as a liquidity portfolio, and only security fair values are used for the liquidity assessment. The fair value of total investment securities was $1.3 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value was inclusive of pre-tax net unrealized losses of $66.2 million on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Additionally, our held-to-maturity securities portfolio had $58.7 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses. The gross unrealized gains and losses are detailed in note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, our investment securities portfolio consisted primarily of MBS, all of which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or sponsored enterprises. The anticipated repayments and marketability of these securities offer substantial resources and flexibility to meet new loan demand, reinvest in the investment securities portfolio, or provide optionality for reductions in our deposit funding base. At September 30, 2025, the duration of the investment securities portfolio was 3.8 years and the weighted average life was 4.5 years.

As part of its liquidity management activities, the Company pledges collateral at its secured funding providers to ensure immediate availability of funding, which includes maintaining borrowing capacity at both the FHLB and the Federal Reserve. The Company does not consider borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve a primary source of funding; however, it could be used as a potential source of funds in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. The amount of available contingent secured borrowing capacity may fluctuate based on the level of borrowings outstanding and level of assets pledged. The table below details those amounts as of the dates shown:

September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Available FHLB borrowing capacity $ 1,624,608 $ 1,697,259
Federal Reserve Bank discount window 1,561,504 880,892
Total off-balance sheet funds available $ 3,186,112 $ 2,578,151

The Company had pledged $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion of loans as collateral to the FHLB at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. FHLB borrowing capacity totaled $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB, leaving undrawn borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings with the FHLB, leaving undrawn borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion. At September 30, 2025, the Company’s available secured and committed borrowing capacity at the FHLB and Federal Reserve totaled $3.2 billion, compared to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2024.

In addition to core deposit and secured funding, the Company also accesses a variety of other short-term and long-term unsecured funding sources, which includes access to Cambr platform deposits, multiple brokered deposit platform options and lines of credit. Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and manages availability in response to changing balance sheet needs, as well as within prudently defined concentration and policy limits. The Company executes periodic test trades to assess the level of access and operational processes associated with its secured and unsecured funding sources.

We anticipate that the sources of funds discussed above will provide adequate funding and liquidity for at least a 12-month period and the foreseeable future, and we may utilize any combination of these funding sources for long-term liquidity needs if deemed prudent.

Our primary uses of funds are loan fundings, investment security purchases, withdrawals of deposits, capital expenditures, operating expenses, and share repurchases. Additionally, approximately $84.8 million will be paid as consideration in connection with the Vista merger.

At present, financing activities primarily consist of changes in deposits and repurchase agreements, and advances from the FHLB, in addition to the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. Maturing time deposits represent a potential use of funds. As of September 30, 2025, $950.6 million of time deposits were scheduled to mature within 12 months. Based on the current

Table of Contents interest rate environment and market conditions, our consumer banking strategy is to focus on attracting and maintaining both lower-cost transaction accounts and time deposits.

During 2021, the Company entered into a subordinated note purchase agreement to issue and sell a fixed-to-floating note. The Company deployed the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. The note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder. Additionally, as part of the acquisition of BOJH on October 1, 2022, the Company assumed three subordinated note purchase agreements to issue and sell fixed-to-floating rate notes. The balance on all subordinated notes totaled $54.7 million and $54.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Capital

Under the Basel III requirements, at September 30, 2025, the Company, NBH Bank and BOJHT met all capital adequacy requirements, and the Banks had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions. For more information on regulatory capital, see note 9 in our consolidated financial statements.

Our shareholders’ equity is impacted by earnings, changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities, net of tax, stock-based compensation activity, share repurchases, shares issued in connection with acquisitions and the payment of dividends.

The Board of Directors has from time to time authorized multiple programs to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. On May 9, 2023, the Company announced a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s stock, as approved by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 240,000 shares of common stock for $8.8 million at a weighted average price per share of $36.66. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 359,300 shares of common stock for $13.0 million at a weighted average price per share of $36.28. The remaining authorization under the current program as of September 30, 2025 was $37.0 million. No time limit has been set for completion of the program.

On October 29, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per common share, payable on December 15, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 28, 2025.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The Board of Directors meets as often as necessary, but no less than quarterly, to review financial statements, public filings, significant accounting policy changes, liquidity, interest rate risk and asset and liability management. The Board also oversees the performance of our internal audit function as well as serves as an independent and objective body to monitor and assess our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as well as internal control systems. Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Interest rate risk results from the following:

Repricing risk — timing differences in the repricing and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities;
Option risk — changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity;
Yield curve risk — changes in the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion; and
Basis risk — changes in spread relationships between different yield curves.

The Asset Liability Committee, a cross-functional committee comprised of executive management and senior leaders, meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and interest rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company. The Company’s principal objective regarding asset and liability management is to evaluate interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and utilize various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

Our interest rate risk model indicated that the Company was in an asset sensitive position in terms of interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2025. The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 100 and 200 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Hypothetical
shift in interest % change in projected net interest income
rates (in bps) September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
200 3.78% 1.72%
100 1.93% 0.87%
(100) (2.29)% (1.05)%
(200) (4.33)% (2.11)%

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

As part of the asset/liability management strategy to manage primary market risk exposures expected to be in effect in future reporting periods, management has executed interest rate derivatives primarily using floors and collars. For further discussion of the Company’s derivative contracts refer to note 14. The strategy with respect to liabilities has been to continue to emphasize transaction deposit growth, particularly non-interest or low interest bearing non-maturing deposit accounts while building long-term client relationships. Non-maturing deposit accounts totaled 86.3% of total deposits at September 30, 2025, compared to 87.6% at December 31, 2024.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

An inflationary environment may impact our financial performance and may impact our clients, including but not limited to impacts on assets, earnings, capital levels and growth opportunities. While we plan to continue our disciplined approach to expense management, an inflationary environment may cause wage pressures and general increases in our cost of doing business, which may increase our non-interest expense.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than do changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rate changes do not necessarily move in the same direction, nor have the same magnitude, as changes in the prices of goods and services.

Table of Contents Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of business, we are a party to various contractual obligations, commitments and other off-balance sheet activities that contain credit, market, and operational risk that are not required to be reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these are the loan commitments that we enter into to meet the financing needs of clients, including commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had loan commitments totaling $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and standby letters of credit totaling $9.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. Unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIV E DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk in Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE S.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there were no changes made to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents PART II: OTHER INFORMATIO N

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS .

From time to time, we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any material pending legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels. However, given the nature, scope, and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

Item 1A. RISK FACTOR S.

Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We are expecting to incur substantial costs related to our transaction with Vista and integration of Vista into NBHC. If the transaction is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the transaction.

On September 15, 2025, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement (the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which Vista will merge with and into the Company (the “merger”). NBHC expects to close the proposed transaction in the three months ended March 31, 2026, subject to regulatory approval, Vista shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. An extended period of shutdown of portions of the U.S. federal government or other factors beyond NBHC’s or Vista’s control could negatively impact NBHC’s ability to timely complete the merger. We have incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These costs include legal, financial advisory, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs, filing fees and other regulatory fees, printing costs and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable by us regardless of whether or not the merger is completed. If the merger is not completed, we would have to recognize these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger.

Combining with Vista may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected, and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger.

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated cost savings from combining our business with Vista’s. To realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from the merger, we must successfully integrate and combine our businesses in a manner that permits those cost savings to be realized. If we are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual cost savings and anticipated benefits of the merger could be less than anticipated, and integration may result in additional unforeseen expenses.

We have operated and, until the completion of the merger, must continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on us during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the merger.

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Whether or not the merger is ultimately consummated, uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, we have agreed to a limited set of restrictions on our business activities prior to the effective time of the merger. The restrictions on us could prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities that arise or taking certain corporate actions prior to the effective time of the merger.

The continuation of the U.S. federal government shutdown could adversely affect the U.S. and global economy and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disagreement over the U.S. federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down in recent weeks, which may continue for an indeterminate period of time. We originate, sell and service loans under various programs sponsored by the U.S. federal government, including the FHA and SBA. Any inability to engage in our commercial FHA or SBA origination and servicing business would lead to a decrease in our net income. Additionally, an extended period of shutdown of portions of the U.S. federal government could negatively impact the financial performance of certain clients and could negatively impact our clients’ access to certain loan and guaranty programs. Prolonged adverse political and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
