Third Quarter Earnings Net income was $36.4 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to $34.8 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. The $1.6 million increase during the quarter was primarily driven by a $1.9 million increase in net interest income, and a $1.5 million increase in non-interest income, which includes a $0.6 million increase in ICS One-Way Sell fee income from off-balance sheet deposits. There was also a $0.8 million decrease in provision for credit losses. This was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $0.9 million increase in income tax expense. Core net income1 was $34.6 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $33.1 million, or $1.10 per diluted share for the prior quarter. The table below shows a pre-tax gain of $2.6 million related to non-core income items, $0.1 million of non-core pre-tax expense items, and $0.7 million in tax on notable items were excluded in the calculation of core net income in the third quarter of 2026. For additional details on each component item within the non-core income and expense figures listed below, please see the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation included at the end of this document. (in thousands) As of and for the Three Months Ended Core net income September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 QoQ Change Net Income (GAAP) $ 36,434 $ 34,766 $ 1,668 Add: Non-core (income)/losses (2,572) (2,264) (308) Add: Non-core expense 53 80 (27) Add: Tax benefit (expense) on notable items 655 555 100 Core net income (non-GAAP) $ 34,570 $ 33,137 $ 1,433 Net interest income was $87.9 million, compared to $86.1 million for the prior quarter. Interest earning asset yields remained flat at 5.14%. Loan interest income increased $1.4 million, as average loan balances increased $57.2 million, reflecting revenue generation upside from commercial loan originations. Loan yields remained flat, largely due to interest income previously recaptured from the payoff of a nonaccrual construction loan, which had a 5 basis point benefit on loan yields in the prior quarter. Interest income on securities increased $1.2 million and securities yields held steady as capital was allocated to PACE growth and AFS securities purchases in the quarter. Conversely, expense on total interest-bearing deposits increased $0.6 million as the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits increased by $29.1 million, combined with an increase in market rates during the quarter. Net interest margin was 3.77%, one basis point lower than the prior quarter, in which the prior quarter included a 3 basis point benefit on net interest margin from the recapture of the aforementioned construction loan income. In the current quarter, interest income benefited from higher asset yields from the origination of higher-yielding commercial loans, new CPACE originations, and newly purchased AFS securities. This was partially offset by higher interest expense due to interest-bearing deposit gathering. Income from loan prepayment penalties had a 3 basis point impact on net interest margin in the current quarter, as well as a 3 basis point impact in the prior quarter. Total cost of deposits remained flat at 1.46% quarter over quarter. Provision for credit losses was an expense of $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to an expense of $4.4 million in the prior quarter. The expense in the quarter was primarily driven by charge-offs on consumer and small business loans, as well as increases in required reserves on two newly identified multifamily loans requiring individual reserve analysis. No additional reserve increases were recorded during the third quarter related to the previously disclosed $78.0 million multifamily relationship. Efforts to resolve the exposures through foreclosure, note sales, or other exit strategies remain ongoing. 2
Non-interest income was $13.8 million, compared to $12.3 million in the prior quarter. Excluding all non-core income items noted above, core non-interest income1 was $11.2 million, compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily related to higher retail banking fees and fees for consumer wealth management and investment services. Non-interest expense was $48.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the prior quarter. Excluding non-core expense items noted above, core non-interest expense1 was $48.8 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the prior quarter. This was mainly driven by an expected $1.2 million increase in occupancy cost, which included a double rent period related to the lease of our new headquarters, which commenced during the quarter. The restoration work and exit of the previous headquarters office is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition, technology costs increased $0.3 million, consistent with the ongoing implementation of key infrastructure projects, while compensation and employee benefit costs rose by $0.7 million due to accruals related to improved financial performance. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.2 million decrease in advertising expense. Provision for income tax expense was $12.8 million, compared to $11.9 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 26.0%, compared to 25.4% in the prior quarter. The current quarter tax rate includes recognition of a $0.6 million tax credit purchased in the quarter, and the prior quarter tax rate includes recognition of a $0.5 million purchased tax credit. Excluding the purchased tax credits and other discrete tax items, the current quarter tax rate would have been 27.2% and the prior quarter tax rate would have been 26.4%. The increase in the annualized effective tax rate was related to changes in income allocations for certain states taxes. Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary Total assets expanded to $9.7 billion at September 30, 2026, a $322.1 million, or 3.4% increase, and third quarter average assets were $9.5 billion. On the last day of the quarter, the balance sheet was impacted by $120.4 million of temporary pension funding deposits that were withdrawn within one week. Adjusted, total assets were $9.6 billion, in line with our target for the quarter. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $37.1 million increase in traditional securities and a $50.8 million increase in net loans receivable, funded by deposit growth in the quarter. On- balance sheet deposits increased by $256.0 million and average total deposits increased by $112.5 million, reflecting growth across the labor and not-for-profit segments. Off-balance sheet deposits increased by an additional $89.0 million in the quarter, and equity decreased by $1.4 million. Total net loans receivable at September 30, 2026 were $5.1 billion, an increase of $50.8 million, or 1.0% for the quarter. The loan balance increase was primarily driven by a $56.3 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, and a $39.8 million increase in multifamily loans, partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in commercial real estate loans. Portfolios generating redeployed cash through planned runoff included a $9.7 million decrease in consumer solar loans, and a $30.7 million decrease in residential loans. Total on-balance sheet deposits at September 30, 2026 were $8.7 billion, an increase of $256.0 million, or 3.0%, during the quarter. Including accounts held off-balance sheet, deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $2.0 billion, a decrease of $76.5 million during the quarter. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 41% of average total deposits and 42% of ending total deposits for the quarter, contributing to an average cost of total deposits of 146 basis points. Super-core deposits1 totaled approximately $5.1 billion, and had a weighted average life of 17 years. Total uninsured deposits were $5.1 billion, comprising 58% of on- balance sheet deposits, improved to 52% of total deposits when including those held off-balance sheet. Nonperforming assets totaled $105.0 million, or 1.08% of period-end total assets at September 30, 2026, an increase of $2.3 million, compared with $102.7 million, or 1.09% of period-end total assets on a linked quarter basis. The increase in nonperforming assets was driven by one $3.1 million multifamily loan that was placed on nonaccrual status this quarter. 3
During the quarter, criticized or classified loans increased $7.4 million, largely driven by one $11 million commercial and industrial loan that was downgraded to criticized status, despite certain positive trends in the borrower’s financial performance. This was partially offset by an upgrade of one $2.1 million commercial and industrial loan. During the quarter, the allowance for credit losses on loans increased $1.3 million to $70.2 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.35%, an increase of 1 basis point from 1.34% in the second quarter of 2026. Subsequent to quarter end, a $3.8 million DC multifamily loan was resolved through a discounted payoff, resulting in a $2.5 million charge-off. The loan was adequately reserved at quarter end; therefore, the charge-off is not expected to have a material impact on the provision for credit losses. Capital Quarterly Summary As of September 30, 2026, the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 14.40%, the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.45%, and the Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio was 9.31%. Stockholders’ equity was $833.6 million, a decrease of $1.4 million during the quarter. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily driven by an increase of $27.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the tax-effected mark-to-market adjustment on available for sale securities resulting from increases in long-term rates in the quarter. In addition, there were $5.1 million in dividends paid at $0.17 per outstanding share, and approximately $6.5 million in share buybacks during the quarter. This was primarily offset by $36.4 million of net income. Tangible book value per share1 increased 0.2% to $27.54. Tangible common equity1 decreased to 8.44% of tangible assets due to the above mentioned tax-effected mark-to-market adjustment, as well as higher average balance sheet size.
