The increase reflected continued organic volume growth with existing partners and products and the impact of new products launched within the past year. Total prepaid, debit card, ACH, and other payment fees increased 10% to $30.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024.Loans, net of deferred fees and costs were $6.67 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $5.91 billion at September 30, 2024 and $6.54 billion at June 30, 2025. Those changes reflected an increase of 2% quarter over linked quarter and an increase of 13% year over year.Real estate bridge loans (“REBLs”) characterized as criticized assets decreased in the third quarter of 2025 to $185.3 million at September 30, 2025 from $215.8 million at June 30, 2025. Included in the September 30, 2025 balance is $102.0 million of assets under contract and expected to close during the fourth quarter, thus further reducing the criticized balance if completed.Consumer fintech loans increased to $785.0 million at September 30, 2025, a 15% increase compared to the $680.5 million balance at June 30, 2025 and increased 180% compared to the September 30, 2024 balance of $280.1 million. Certain loan fees on consumer fintech loans are recorded as non-interest income. Such non-interest income amounted to $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage), Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratios were 8.74%, 12.99%, 14.09% and 12.99%, respectively. Those respective ratios for our wholly owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank, N.A., at that date were 9.85%, 14.66%, 15.77% and 14.66% compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10%, and 6.5%. The Bancorp Bank, N.A. also remains well capitalized under banking regulations.Book value per common share at September 30, 2025, was $17.48 compared to $16.90 per common share at September 30, 2024, an increase of 3%.The Bancorp repurchased 2,034,053 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $73.74 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. As a result of share repurchases, outstanding shares, net of treasury shares, at September 30, 2025 amounted to 44.5 million, compared to 48.2 million shares at September 30, 2024, or a reduction of 8%. “We had another successful quarter as we continue to build new Fintech capabilities and implement and expand partner programs,” said Damian Kozlowski, CEO of The Bancorp. He also noted that “We are lowering guidance from $5.25 to $5.10 earnings per share for 2025, primarily due to lower projected balances for our traditional lending businesses and an increased credit provision for leasing as a result of losses on the disposition of previously identified credits in trucking. In addition, we are not giving specific guidance for 2026 other than we are targeting a minimum $7 earnings per share run-rate by the fourth quarter of 2026. We are initiating preliminary guidance for 2027 of $8.25 earnings per share. We believe that our three major Fintech initiatives of credit sponsorship expansion, embedded finance platform development and new program implementations, plus platform efficiency and productivity gains from platform restructuring and new AI tools, and a continued high level of capital return through share buybacks, will contribute to earnings per share accretion. Earnings per share gains are subject to uncertainty, particularly as it relates to the development and implementation timelines in Fintech, and our stock price for buybacks.” Conference Call Webcast You may access the LIVE webcast of The Bancorp’s Quarterly Earnings Conference Call at 8:00 AM ET Friday, October 31, 2025, by clicking on the webcast link on The Bancorp’s homepage at www.thebancorp.com or you may dial 1.800.549.8228, conference ID 37073.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, IBLOC loans amounted to $471.6 million and $548.1 million, respectively. (2) At September 30, 2025, consumer fintech loans consisted of $416.0 million of secured credit card loans, with the balance comprised of other short-term extensions of credit. The Bancorp Bank, N.A. emphasizes safety and soundness, and its balance sheet has a risk profile enhanced by the special nature of the collateral supporting its loan niches, related underwriting, and the characteristics of its funding sources, including those highlighted in the bullets below. Those loan niches and funding sources have contributed to increased earnings levels, even during periods in which markets have experienced various economic stresses. At September 30, 2025, consumer fintech loans included $416.0 million of secured credit card accounts, which are backed dollar for dollar by cash collateral by each individual cardholder and are required to be repaid in-full monthly. The remaining consumer fintech loans consist of cashflow underwritten short-term liquidity products to individual borrowers ranging in maturities from 30 to 365 days, with The Bancorp Bank, N.A.’s partner(s) providing a full guarantee against losses. The Bancorp Bank, N.A. maintains cash collateral for the expected losses on dollars already lent, as well as right of offset against other revenues generated through those relationships. The REBL portfolio is largely comprised of rehabilitation bridge loans for apartment buildings. The Company has minimal exposure to non-multifamily commercial real estate such as office buildings. These loans generally have three-year terms with two one-year extension options to allow for the rehabilitation work to be completed and rentals stabilized for an extended period, before being refinanced at lower rates through U.S. Government Sponsored Entities or other lenders. The REBL portfolio consists primarily of workforce housing, which we consider to be working class apartments at more affordable rental rates. Related collateral values should accordingly be more stable than higher rent properties, even in stressed economies. While the macro-economic environment has challenged the multifamily bridge space, the stability of the Company’s REBL portfolio is evidenced by the estimated values of the underlying collateral. The Company’s $2.13 billion REBL portfolio at September 30, 2025 has a weighted average origination date “as is” loan-to-value ratio of 70%, based on third-party appraisals. Further, the weighted average origination date “as stabilized” loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”), which measures the estimated value of the apartments after the rehabilitation is complete, may provide even greater protection. As part of the underwriting process, The Bancorp Bank, N.A. reviews prospective borrowers’ previous rehabilitation experience in addition to overall financial wherewithal. These transactions also include significant borrower equity contributions with required performance metrics. Underwriting generally includes, but is not limited to, assessment of local market information relating to vacancy and rental rates, review of post rehabilitation rental rate assumptions against geo-specific affordability indices, negative news searches, lien searches, visitations by bank personnel and/or designated engineers, and other information sources. Rehabilitation progress is monitored through ongoing draw requests and financial reporting covenants. This generally allows for early identification of potential issues and expedited action to address on a timely basis. Operations and ongoing loan evaluation are overseen by multiple levels of management in addition to the REBL team’s experienced professional staff and third-party consultants utilized during the underwriting and asset management process. This oversight includes a separate loan committee specific to REBL, which is comprised of seasoned and experienced lending professionals who do not directly report to anyone on the REBL team. There is also a separate loan review department, a surveillance committee and additional staff which evaluate potential losses under the current expected credit losses methodology, all of which similarly do not report to anyone on the REBL team. The SBLOC and IBLOC portfolios are respectively secured by marketable securities and the cash value of life insurance. The majority of SBA 7(a) loans are government guaranteed, while SBA 504 loans are made with 50%-60% LTVs. Additional details regarding our loan portfolios are included in the following sections of this press release. This press release also discloses in this press release is the summarization of the earnings contributions of our payments businesses, which further enhances The Bancorp’s risk profile. The Company’s risk profile inherent in its loan portfolios, funding, and earnings levels, may present opportunities to further increase stockholder value, while still prudently maintaining capital levels.

In addition, all 7(a) Program loans and 504 Program loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

While the value of equities has fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOC loans generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Second, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.
