(2)Includes discount accretion from SBA loan payoffs of $499 thousand, $293 thousand and $426 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
(3)Includes prepayment penalty income of $127 thousand, $166 thousand and $114 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, from Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) and SBA loans.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Net interest income increased by $625 thousand, or 3%, primarily driven by loan growth, partially offset by higher borrowings and lower loan yields. Net interest margin expanded by 3 basis points to 3.26%.
◦Loans: Interest income increased by $738 thousand, largely attributable to a $37.1 million increase in average loan balances. This increase was partially offset by a 4 basis point decline in loan yields, reflecting increased interest income reversals due to changes in nonaccrual status compared to the prior quarter.
◦Borrowings: Interest expense increased by $265 thousand, mainly due to a $29.5 million increase in average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances.
◦Deposits: Interest expense decreased slightly by $33 thousand, primarily due to an 11 basis point reduction in interest-bearing deposit costs, reflecting the repricing of time deposits in response to the downward shift in federal funds rate that began in the late 2024. The decrease was nearly offset by a $24.6 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances.
4
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024
Net interest income increased by $3.8 million, or 23%. The increase was due to loan growth and lower deposit rates. These changes were partially offset by interest-bearing deposit growth. Net interest margin rose 31 basis points to 3.26%.
◦Loans: Interest income increased by $3.1 million, largely driven by a $226.3 million increase in average loan balances. This increase was partially offset by a 14 basis point decline in loan yields, reflecting the repricing of existing loans at lower interest rates following the 2024 reduction in the federal funds rate.
◦Deposits: Interest expense decreased by $479 thousand, mainly driven by a 78 basis point reduction in interest-bearing deposit costs, resulting from the repricing of deposit products in response to the federal funds rate cut implemented in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a $230.2 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances.

Third Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Provision for credit losses on loans remained relatively stable, decreasing by $49 thousand. The modest decline was primarily driven by reductions in qualitative reserves, following qualitative factor adjustments made after management reassessed the underlying assumptions. These adjustments were mostly offset by the increases resulting from risk rating downgrades and net charge-offs.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024
Provision for credit losses on loans increased by $972 thousand, primarily due to higher historical loss factors stemming from risk rating downgrades, increased specific reserves, net charge-offs, and loan growth compared to the prior period.

Third Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Noninterest income increased by $162 thousand, or 4%, primarily due to higher gains on sale of loans, partially offset by declines in service charges on deposits and loan servicing fees.
◦Gains on Sale of Loans: Increased by $596 thousand, primarily driven by higher SBA loan sale activity. During the quarter, the Bank sold $36.8 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 6.71%, compared to $25.3 million sold at an average premium rate of 7.05% in the prior period.
◦Service Charges on Deposits: Decreased by $292 thousand, primarily due to the closure of certain currency exchange-related accounts.
◦Loan Servicing Fees, Net of Amortization: Decreased by $176 thousand, mainly due to higher amortization of servicing assets, reflecting elevated payoff activity within servicing portfolio.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024
Noninterest income decreased by $110 thousand, or 3%, primarily due to lower service charges on deposits.
◦Service Charges on Deposits: Decreased by $164 thousand, largely driven by the closure of certain currency exchange-related accounts.

Third Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Noninterest expense decreased by $408 thousand, or 3%, primarily due to reductions in salaries and employee benefits, promotion and advertising, and other expenses.
◦Salaries and Employee Benefits: Decreased by $183 thousand, mainly due to lower incentive compensation accruals, resulting from a non-recurring adjustment recognized in the prior quarter.
◦Promotion and Advertising: Decreased by $106 thousand, reflecting the absence of a one-time accrual adjustment that was recorded in the second quarter of 2025.
◦Other Expenses: Decreased by $79 thousand, primarily due to reduced armored car service costs following the closure of certain currency exchange-related accounts.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024
Noninterest expense increased by $909 thousand, or 7%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and other expenses, partially offset by lower data processing and communication.
◦Salaries and Employee Benefits: Increased by $861 thousand, mainly driven by staffing growth and annual merit-based salary adjustments. Higher health insurance costs also contributed to the increase in employee benefits.
◦Other Expenses: Increased by $215 thousand, primarily due to reclassification of credit-related fees collections from contra-expense to income in 2025. This regrouping reflects a change in presentation rather than a change in underlying activity.
◦Data Processing and Communication: Decreased by $371 thousand, largely due to contractual credits received following the conversion to a new core banking system in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income Tax Expense
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Income tax expense increased by $856 thousand to $3.0 million, with the effective tax rate rising to 30.7% from 25.0%. The increases were primarily driven by higher pre-tax income and a one-time revaluation of deferred tax assets, associated with the adoption of the California’s single sales factor apportionment method and the implementation of an enhanced interim state tax apportionment methodology.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024
Income tax expense increased by $827 thousand to $3.0 million, with the effective tax rate rising to 30.7% from 28.3%. The increases were primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

Credit quality remained strong during the period, with nonperforming loans at a low 0.57% of gross loans and annualized net charge-offs at just 0.04%. The allowance remained adequate at 1.27% of gross loans.
◦Accruing loans 30-89 days past due decreased to $5.4 million, primarily due to $4.2 million in SBA and home mortgage loans returning to current status and $2.5 million in reclassified SBA loans to nonaccrual status. These reductions were partially offset by $2.8 million in new past due balances across various loan categories.
◦Nonperforming loans increased by $3.4 million, primarily attributable to the reclassification of loans previously in the accruing 30-89 days past due category.
◦Criticized loans increased by $4.3 million, primarily attributable to downgrades of SBA and home mortgage loans.

As of September 30, 2025 vs. June 30, 2025
Total deposits increased by $18.7 million or 1%, primarily driven by a $68.8 million increase in time deposits, partially offset by a $28.4 million decrease in money market deposits and others, and a $21.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in time deposits reflects new customers opening CD accounts, existing customers reallocating funds seeking higher yields, and a rise in wholesale CD balances to support loan growth. The declines in money market and noninterest-bearing deposits were primarily attributable to reductions in existing customer balances, reflecting operational funding needs.
As of September 30, 2025 vs. September 30, 2024
Total deposits increased by $208.8 million or 10%, primarily driven by growth of $166.9 million in time deposits and $59.7 million in money market deposits and others. The increase in time deposits was largely attributable to new customers opening CD accounts, reflecting a preference for higher-yielding products, as well as an increase in wholesale CD balances. The growth in money market deposits and others was mainly due to inflows from new customers and higher balances from existing customers.
