• Total deposits decreased $52.0 million or 6.1% (annualized) from 2Q 2026, primarily driven by decreases of $89.3 million from DDA products associated with our Title business, consistent with regular seasonality. The decrease in deposits also included a $45.2 million reduction associated with a single customer relationship that had grown significantly throughout the year and which was noted in the 2Q 2026 earnings release. Excluding deposits from title companies and the single customer relationship, deposits increased $82.5 million or 11.8% (annualized)
• Noninterest expenses increased $2.5 million or 23.3% (annualized) from 2Q 2026 as we continued to execute on strategic growth initiatives and incurred merger-related expenses related to the pending merger with Peoples.

• Generated $80.2 million, or 10.2% (annualized) growth in total gross loans from 2Q 2026, largely driven by commercial and industrial ("C&I"), which grew $47.1 million, or 25.6% (annualized), across both held for sale and held for investment portfolios, and residential real estate, which grew $26.1 million, or 13.0% (annualized), across both held for sale and held for investment portfolios
• Continued tangible book value compounding, with tangible book value per share⁽⁴⁾ increasing 9.0% (annualized) from 2Q 2026

Core NIM of 4.18% increased 14 bps from 2Q 2026, primarily driven by 11 bps from organic growth from Commercial Bank portfolio.
• Diluted earnings per share of $0.80, down 8.0% from 2Q 2026. Core earnings per share⁽⁴⁾ increased $0.02, or 2.3% from 2Q 2026
• Produced 18.7% (annualized) fee income growth, led by government lending revenue, loan servicing rights income, credit card fees and USDA fees. Fee revenue represented 22.1% of total revenue
• The Company also declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.14 per share. The dividend is payable on November 25, 2026 to shareholders of record on November 9, 2026.

“We are excited about our combination with Peoples Bank and what it will bring to our franchises," said Ed Barry, CEO of the Company.

Consolidated Financial Performance

Quarterly net interest income:

• Net interest income of $53.1 million increased $2.1 million, or 4.2% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2026, and increased $1.1 million, or 2.0%, year-over-year.
  • Interest income of $72.3 million increased $2.3 million, or 3.3% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2026, and increased $7.4 million, or 11.4%, year-over-year. The increase from 2Q 2026 was primarily driven by a $2.4 million increase from Commercial Bank loan growth and $0.5 million increase from OpenSky™ due to higher balances and higher yields, slightly offset by a $0.5 million decrease in interest bearing cash income due to lower balances of interest-bearing deposits from other financial institutions. The increase year-over-year was primarily driven by $6.5 million from the Commercial Bank due to strong organic loan growth, and $0.9 million from OpenSky™ due to strong growth from the unsecured loan product.
    • Interest income included $0.3 million from net PAA in 3Q 2026, compared to $0.2 million in 2Q 2026 and $0.2 million in net PAA in 3Q 2025.
  • Interest expense of $19.2 million increased $0.2 million, or 1.0% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2026, and increased $6.3 million, or 49.3%, year-over-year. The increase of $0.2 million, compared to 2Q 2026, was primarily driven by growth in money market accounts, offset by a decrease in borrowed funds. The increase of $6.3 million year-over-year was driven by $1.0 million from higher balances and a shift in deposit mix, $5.2 million of decreased benefit from net PAA, and $0.1 million of higher borrowing costs.
    • Interest expense included a $0.1 million benefit from net PAA in both 3Q 2026 and 2Q 2026. There was a $5.3 million benefit from net PAA in 3Q 2025, which included $4.6 million from the call of brokered time deposits acquired from the IFH transaction ("Call of Brokered Time Deposits").
      
      

Quarterly provision:

• The 3Q 2026 provision for credit losses was $4.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million from 2Q 2026. The increase was primarily driven by $1.3 million of increased provision for the Commercial Bank from 2Q 2026, primarily due to a $1.0 million increased reserve requirement largely attributable to loan growth and $0.3 million decrease in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs totaled $3.8 million, or 0.49% of portfolio loans (annualized), consistent with $3.8 million or 0.50% of portfolio loans (annualized), in 2Q 2026.
  • Net charge-offs in the quarter included $3.2 million from OpenSky™ loans and $0.6 million from Commercial Bank loans. Net charge-offs for the Commercial Bank decreased $0.3 million quarter-over-quarter. OpenSky™ net charge-offs increased $0.3 million quarter-over-quarter, driven by the secured product.

Quarterly fee revenue:

• Fee Revenue of $15.0 million increased $0.7 million, compared to 2Q 2026 and increased $4.0 million year-over-year. The increase of $0.7 million during 3Q 2026 was primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in other income from fees associated with USDA transactions that did not close and an increase in small business investment company ("SBIC") income, and a $0.3 million increase in government lending revenue from both USDA and SBA gain on sale. The year-over-year fee revenue increase of $4.0 million was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in government lending revenue mostly from USDA gain on sale, $1.2 million from SBIC income, $0.8 million from government loan servicing and packaging revenue (Windsor™) driven by growth in servicing income from organic growth in the servicing portfolio, and $0.3 million from fees earned from USDA deals which were not executed. Fee revenue mix⁽⁶⁾ was 22.1% of total revenue for 3Q 2026, compared to 22.0% during 2Q 2026, and 17.5% during 3Q 2025. Core fee revenue mix was 22.1% for 3Q 2026, compared to 22.0% during 2Q 2026, and 18.9% during 3Q 2025.
  
  

Quarterly noninterest expense:

• Noninterest expense of $45.7 million increased $2.5 million compared to 2Q 2026 and increased $7.4 million compared to 3Q 2025. Core noninterest expense⁽⁷⁾ of $44.1 million increased $1.0 million compared to 2Q 2026 and increased $6.5 million compared to 3Q 2025. Core comparisons include:
  • The increase of $1.0 million quarter-over-quarter was primarily driven by $1.0 million higher personnel costs primarily due to planned investment in headcount
  • Year-over-year expense growth of $6.5 million was primarily driven by planned expansion and investment in headcount across the organization, and an increase in professional fees associated with investments in shared services areas and OpenSky™.
    
    

⁽⁶⁾ Fee revenue mix equals fee revenue divided by the sum of fee revenue and net interest income before provision for credit losses.

Financial Metrics

Net Interest Margin:

NIM of 5.81% for 3Q 2026, increased 17 bps compared to the prior quarter, but decreased 55 bps year-over-year. Core NIM⁽¹⁰⁾ of 4.18% increased 14 bps (but increased 12 bps when excluding PAA) compared to the prior quarter, and decreased 48 bps year-over-year. Net PAA for 3Q 2026 was 4 bps for NIM and 5 bps for Core NIM⁽¹⁰⁾. The increase quarter-over-quarter in Core NIM includes 11 bps from organic growth from Commercial Bank portfolio, 2 bps from one non-performing loan relationship in 2Q 2026, and 1 bp from higher net PAA compared to 2Q 2026. There was $4.6 million of PAA from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits during 3Q 2025, or 56 bps of NIM and 59 of Core NIM. Excluding the impact from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits, NIM increased 1 bp and Core NIM increased 11 bps year-over-year.

• The average yield on interest earning assets of 7.91% increased 16 bps compared to the prior quarter and decreased 2 bps year-over-year. The increase quarter-over-quarter was due to growth in both the Commercial Bank and OpenSky™ portfolios. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to the impact of changes in the rate environment to the Commercial Bank and OpenSky™ portfolios.
  • The Core Loan Yield⁽¹⁰⁾ of 6.83% for 3Q 2026 increased 6 bps compared to 2Q 2026, and increased 9 bps year-over-year. The increase quarter-over-quarter includes 3 bps from organic portfolio growth and 3 bps from loan PAA. The increase year-over-year was primarily a result of organic portfolio growth.
• The total cost of deposits of 2.30% for 3Q 2026 increased 1 bp compared to 2Q 2026, and increased 57 bps year-over-year. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to 63 bps from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits in 3Q 2025. Excluding the Call of Brokered Time Deposits from 3Q 2025, total cost of deposits would have decreased 6 bps year-over-year, primarily driven by a shift in product mix as well as changes in the rate environment offsetting lower time deposit PAA.
• The total cost of interest-bearing deposits of 3.09% for 3Q 2026, remained consistent compared to the prior quarter, and increased 68 bps year-over-year. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to 87 bps from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits in 3Q 2025. Excluding the Call of Brokered Time Deposits from 3Q 2025, total cost of interest-bearing deposits would have decreased 19 bps year-over-year, which was primarily driven by a shift in product mix as well as changes in the rate environment.
• Net PAA of $0.4 million, or 4 bps of NIM and 5 bps of Core NIM⁽¹⁰⁾, during 3Q 2026, increased $0.1 million from 2Q 2026 due to $0.2 million from the acceleration of PAA from a loan that paid off during 3Q 2026, partially offset by $0.1 million lower time deposit PAA from the run-off of certain purchase accounting marks associated with acquired IFH deposit portfolio. There was $5.5 million from net PAA during 3Q 2025, which includes $4.6 million, or 59 bps of Core NIM, from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits. Excluding the impact from the Call of Brokered Time Deposits, net PAA decreased $0.5 million mainly driven by lower time deposit PAA.
