(3) Includes prepayment penalty income of $91 thousand, $98 thousand and $166 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily from Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) and SBA loans. Second Quarter 2026 vs. First Quarter 2026 Net interest income declined by $455 thousand, or 2%, primarily reflecting a one-time interest accrual adjustment related to the Federal Reserve Bank account and the absence of a special FHLB dividend recognized in the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by continued loan growth. As a result, the net interest margin contracted by 11 basis points to 3.08%. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks: Interest income decreased by $910 thousand, primarily due to a one-time $739 thousand accrual adjustment on the Federal Reserve Bank account.Other investments: Interest income decreased by $349 thousand, mainly due to the absence of a special dividend received on FHLB stock in the prior period.Loans: Interest income increased by $852 thousand, driven largely by a $26.5 million increase in average loan balances, reflecting growth in SBA and CRE loans, as well as two additional accrual days during the current period.Deposits: Interest expense remained relatively stable compared to the prior period. Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025 Net interest income increased by $347 thousand, or 2%, primarily driven by balance-sheet growth and lower deposit rates. These favorable factors were partially offset by lower loan yields, reduced interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks resulting from the aforementioned Federal Reserve Bank interest accrual adjustment and lower interest rates, and higher interest expense associated with the subordinated note issued in November 2025. As a result, the net interest margin declined by 15 basis points to 3.08%. Loans: Interest income increased by $1.5 million, largely attributable to a $158.1 million increase in average loan balances, reflecting growth in CRE loans. The increase was partially offset by a 20-basis-point decline in loan yields, reflecting the downward repricing of adjustable-rate loans and lower rates on new originations following last year’s federal funds rate cuts, as well as the absence of elevated interest income recognized from nonaccrual loans in the prior period.Deposits: Interest expense decreased by $584 thousand, mainly due to a 41-basis-point decline in costs of interest-bearing deposits, driven by the repricing of time deposits following the federal funds rate cuts. This decrease was partially offset by a $121.6 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances, reflecting growth in time deposits.Interest-bearing deposits in other banks: Interest income decreased by $1.2 million, primarily due to the aforementioned accrual adjustment on the Federal Reserve Bank account, as well as lower yields on Federal Reserve Bank balances.Subordinated note: Interest expense increased by $490 thousand, mainly due to the subordinated note issued in November 2025.

Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025 Provision for credit losses on loans decreased by $1.4 million, primarily due to the aforementioned payoff of the nonaccrual CRE loans, as well as lower qualitative reserves driven by slower home mortgage loan growth and a more favorable economic outlook compared to a year ago.

Gains on Sale of Loans: Increased by $1.3 million, driven by stronger SBA loan sale activity. The Bank sold $49.1 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 8.17%, compared with $32.2 million sold at an average premium rate of 8.27% in the prior period.Loan servicing fees, net of amortization: Increased by $252 thousand, mainly due to lower amortization of servicing assets resulting from reduced payoff activity. Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025 Noninterest income increased by $1.7 million, or 42%, primarily due to higher gains on sale of loans, partially offset by lower service charges on deposits. Gains on Sale of Loans: Increased by $1.9 million, driven by stronger SBA loan sale activity and higher premium rates. The Bank sold $49.1 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 8.17%, compared with $25.3 million sold at an average premium rate of 7.05% in the prior period.Service Charges on Deposits: Decreased by $502 thousand, largely reflecting lower balances in existing business analysis accounts and closure of certain currency exchange-related accounts during the third quarter of 2025.

Salaries and Employee Benefits: Increased by $457 thousand, primarily due to annual salary adjustments effective April 2026 and higher incentive accruals driven by increased loan production, partially offset by lower vacation accruals. Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025 Noninterest expense increased by $789 thousand, or 6%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and increased occupancy and equipment, partially offset by lower other expenses. Salaries and Employee Benefits: Increased by $658 thousand, mainly driven by staffing growth and annual salary adjustments effective April 2026.Occupancy and equipment: Increased by $317 thousand, primarily due to the expiration of a common-area-maintenance concession on a lease that benefited the prior period.Other expenses: Decreased by $190 thousand, primarily due to lower customer service expense following the previously discussed currency exchange account closures. Income Tax Expense Second Quarter 2026 vs. First Quarter 2026 Income tax expense increased by $388 thousand to $3.1 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income, while the effective tax rate increased modestly to 27.8% from 27.0%. Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025 Income tax expense increased by $951 thousand to $3.1 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate increased to 27.8% from 25.0%, mainly reflecting the absence of a one-time deferred tax asset revaluation recognized in the prior-year period and the impact of federal tax law changes effective in 2026.
