BayCom Corp (BCML) posts higher Q1 2026 profit and stronger liquidity
BayCom Corp reported stronger results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net income rose to $8.2 million from $5.7 million a year earlier, and basic earnings per share increased to $0.75 from $0.51, reflecting improved profitability.
Total assets reached $2.65 billion, with loans of $2.01 billion and deposits of $2.27 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $305.9 million, while the allowance for credit losses on loans was $20.6 million after a $670,000 reversal of provision. Nonaccrual loans increased to $16.7 million, mainly in commercial real estate, and uninsured deposits were about $1.0 billion, or 46.3% of total deposits.
Positive
- Profitability improved meaningfully: Net income increased to $8.2 million from $5.7 million year over year, and basic EPS rose to $0.75 from $0.51 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
- Credit costs declined: The company recorded a $670,000 reversal of provision for credit losses and only $15,000 of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026.
- Liquidity strengthened without wholesale borrowings: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $305.9 million, and there were no FHLB or FRB advances or federal funds borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2026.
Negative
- Nonaccrual loans increased: Loans on nonaccrual status grew to $16.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $13.4 million at December 31, 2025, primarily within commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios.
- Deposit concentration and uninsured exposure: Approximately $298.5 million, or 13.2%, of deposits came from the top ten depositors, and uninsured deposits totaled about $1.0 billion, or 46.3% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026.
Insights
BayCom showed solid profit growth and strong liquidity, though credit metrics bear watching.
BayCom Corp generated net income of $8.18M for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up from $5.70M a year earlier, with basic EPS rising to $0.75. Net interest income increased to $25.20M, helped by higher loan interest and lower funding costs from redeemed subordinated debt.
Asset quality remains generally manageable, with an allowance for credit losses of $20.60M and net charge-offs of only $15K. However, nonaccrual loans increased to $16.68M, largely in commercial real estate, indicating some borrower-specific stress despite no loans 90 days past due and still accruing.
Liquidity and capital appear comfortable: cash and cash equivalents rose to $305.90M, deposits grew to $2.27B, and the company had no FHLB or FRB borrowings outstanding at quarter-end. About 46.3% of deposits were uninsured as of March 31, 2026, and the top ten depositors represented $298.5M, factors that could influence funding stability in future periods.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BayCom Corp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In its
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Dollar amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented to the nearest thousands of dollars except per share amounts. If the amounts are above $1.0 million, they are rounded to one decimal point, and if they are above $1.0 billion, they are rounded to two decimal points.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to address investor requests for more detailed information about certain expense types. The new standard requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are required to adopt the amendments prospectively.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date, to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Purchased Loans – Financial Instruments Credit losses (Topic 326) – In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 to improve the accounting for certain acquired loans, specifically purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”). The amendments expand the application of the gross-up approach to qualifying purchased loans acquired without significant credit deterioration. Under the amendments, an allowance for credit losses is recorded at acquisition with a corresponding adjustment to the loan’s amortized cost basis, eliminating the recognition of a Day 1 credit loss expense for such loans. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Interim Reporting (Topic 270) – In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 to clarify interim disclosure requirements by providing a comprehensive list of disclosures that are required in interim reporting periods.

Table of Contents
The amendments also introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events and changes that occur after the end of most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amended guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Allowance for credit losses on investment debt securities available-for-sale
Investment debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 were evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or changes in required yields by investors in these types of securities, among other factors. This assessment first includes a determination of

Table of Contents
whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. In making this assessment, management considers the nature of the security and any related government guarantees, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, the financial conditions and prospects of the issuer, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its securities. The Company has no present intent to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost. The decline in fair value is largely attributed to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments.

The Company may modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty as a part of ongoing loss mitigation strategies. These modifications may result in an interest rate reduction, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a combination thereof. The Company typically does not offer principal forgiveness. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of modification. The effect of most modifications made for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses on loans because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were

Risk Rating System
The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of the loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics.
The Company’s Pass loans include loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk.
Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics:
Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Special Mention is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded.
Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations:
| ● | Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset; |
14
Table of Contents
| ● | Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and |
| ● | Adverse financial trends. |
Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard.
Some characteristics of Substandard loans are:
| ● | Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow; |
| ● | Chronic delinquency; |
| ● | Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment; |
| ● | Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt; |
| ● | Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral; |
| ● | Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral; |
| ● | Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and |
| ● | The borrower is in bankruptcy, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action. |
Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit.
Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations in the tables below and are presented by year of initial origination. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, $

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the reversal of provision for credit losses and the related decrease in the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the reserve for pooled loans due to lower loan balances, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic forecasts, including lower forecasted unemployment and an improved national gross domestic product outlook. In addition, there was an $

As part of its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) in 2022, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). PEB ceased originating loans under this loan program in 2017. Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower’s contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of
In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated loans under this program of $

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful life of seven to

Goodwill
The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
26
Table of Contents
Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities AFS. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned and to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. There were

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, certain loans have individual risk characteristics not consistent with a pool of loans and are individually evaluated for credit reserves. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement are typically individually evaluated. The fair value of individually evaluated loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment. From time to time, the Company is a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company is not presently party to any legal proceedings where it believes the resolution would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Table of Contents
Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to the Company’s business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), the Company, like all banking organizations, is subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on home equity and unsecured personal lines of credit and commercial lines of credit, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients.
The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated:

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will likely be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction loans where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The reserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $
Commercial Real Estate Concentrations
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability.
Other Assets
The Company has commitments to fund investments in LIHTC partnerships and an SBIC fund. At March 31, 2026, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $
Deposit Concentrations
At March 31, 2026, approximately $
Local Agency Deposits and Other Advances
In the normal course of business, the Company accepts deposits from local agencies. The Company is required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits in the states of California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the FHLB had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $

Executive Overview
General. BayCom is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. BayCom’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, United Business Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to businesses and business owners as well as individuals through its network of 34 full-service branches at March 31, 2026, with 16 locations in California, one in Nevada, one in Washington, five in New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. BayCom’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.
Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value and generate consistent earnings growth by expanding our commercial banking franchise through organic growth, strategic loan and deposit transactions, and strategic acqusitons. Since its founding in 2010, growth has been predominantly acquisition-driven, and we have expanded our geographic footprint through ten successful strategic acquisitions. We believe that our selective acquisition of community banks has yielded economies of scale and improved our efficiency. We have also achieved organic growth by leveraging opportunities within the metropolitan and community markets in which we operate. These markets provide significant opportunities to expand our commercial client base, increase interest-earning assets, and enhance market share. We believe our geographic footprint, which now includes the San Francisco Bay Area; the metropolitan markets of Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Washington, Denver, Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada; and community markets including Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Custer, Delta, and Grand Counties, Colorado, provides access to low-cost, stable core deposits in community markets that can be used to fund commercial loan growth. We strive to create an enhanced banking experience for our clients by providing a comprehensive suite of sophisticated banking products and services tailored to meet their needs, while delivering the high-quality, relationship-based client service associated with a community bank. At March 31, 2026, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approximately $2.6 billion in total assets, $2.0 billion in total loans, $2.3 billion in total deposits and $344.0 million in shareholders’ equity.

Table of Contents
We continue to focus on growing our commercial loan portfolios through acquisitions as well as organic growth. At March 31, 2026, our $2.0 billion total loan portfolio included $204.2 million, or 10.2%, of loans acquired through business combinations (all of which were recorded to their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition), and the remaining $1.8 billion, or 89.8%, consisted of loans we originated or purchased not as part of a business combination.
The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. Our net income is also affected by other factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans, noninterest income and noninterest expense.
Set forth below is a discussion of the primary factors affecting our results of operations:
Net interest income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, including loans and investment securities and dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) stock we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, including interest bearing deposits and borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest margin; and (iv) the regulatory risk weighting associated with our assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. Because noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity, also fund interest earning assets, net interest margin reflects the benefit of these noninterest bearing sources.
Changes in market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and the rates we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities have a significant impact on our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. During 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve (“FOMC”) lowered the target range for the federal funds rate in response to continued moderation in inflation and evolving economic conditions. The FOMC reduced the target range by 75 basis points, from 4.25%–4.50% at December 31, 2024, to 3.50%–4.25% by year-end 2025, where it remained as of March 31, 2026. All reductions occurred between September and December 2025. Correspondingly, the prime rate, which generally moves in relation to the federal funds rate, was approximately 6.75% at March 31, 2026. These rate levels influenced both asset yields and funding costs during the first quarter of 2026. Net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 10.1%, to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by growth in loan interest income and higher FHLB dividend income, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing balances. Total interest expense decreased $412,000, or 4.2%, primarily reflecting the full redemption of the Company’s subordinated notes in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher deposit interest expense and increased junior subordinated debenture expense. Additional details regarding net interest income are discussed below.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) service charges on loans and deposits; (ii) gain on sale of loans; (iii) gain (loss) on equity securities; and (iv) other noninterest income. Gain on sale of loans includes income (or losses) from the sale of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, capitalized loan servicing rights and other related income.
Provision for credit losses. We have established an allowance for credit losses by charging amounts to provision for credit losses at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan and available-for sale investment securities portfolios. For loans, management considers many factors, including, among others, historical loss experience, types and amounts of loans in the portfolio and adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” for a description of the manner in which the provision for credit losses is established.
For investments, the Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Such situations may result from either a decline in the financial condition of the issuing entity or, in the case of fixed interest rate investments, from rising interest rates. In making this assessment, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the nature of the security, the underlying
35
Table of Contents
collateral, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, among other factors. This assessment also includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale securities is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized costs basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale securities is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale securities, with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis, when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense includes, among other things: (i) salaries and related benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expense; (iii) data processing expense; (iv) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and state assessments; (v) outside and professional services; and (vi) other general and administrative expenses, including amortization of intangible assets. Salaries and related benefits include compensation, employee benefits and employment tax expenses for our personnel. Occupancy and equipment expense includes depreciation expense on our owned properties and equipment, lease expense on our leased properties and other occupancy-related expenses. Data processing expense includes fees paid to our third-party data processing system provider and other data service providers. FDIC and state assessments expense represents the assessments that we pay to the FDIC for deposit insurance and other regulatory costs to various states. Outside and professional fees include legal, accounting, consulting and other outsourcing arrangements. Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of our core deposit intangible from various acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with travel, meals, training, supplies and postage.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial statements and interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates, assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and are based on information available as of the dates of the financial statements. As this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in the financial statements. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.
These critical accounting policies and estimates include determining the allowance for credit losses and related provision.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. For a detailed discussion, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Total assets. Total assets increased $54.9 million, or 2.1%, to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026, from December 31, 2025. The increase primarily was due to a $99.4 million, or 48.1%, increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $9.7 million, or 5.4%, increase in investment securities available-for-sale, at fair value, partially offset by a $55.1 million, or 2.7%, decrease in loans receivable, net.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $99.4 million, or 48.1%, to $305.9 million at March 31, 2026, from $206.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase primarily was due to a $107.6 million increase in federal funds sold due repayments on loans outpacing loan growth and an increase in deposits.

Investment securities available-for-sale. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $9.7 million, or 5.4%, to $189.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $179.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to purchases of investment securities, partially offset by routine maturities, principal repayments, and calls of investment securities, and to a lesser extent downward fair value adjustments related to unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding contractual maturities and the weighted average yields of our available for sale investment securities as of March 31, 2026. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The weighted average yields were calculated by multiplying each carrying value by its yield and dividing the sum of these results by the total carrying values. Yields on tax-exempt investments are not calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis.

Equity securities. Equity securities increased $58,000, or 0.5%, to $12.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.6 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Loans receivable, net. We originate a wide variety of loans with a focus on commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and commercial and industrial loans. Total loans decreased $55.1 million, or 2.7%, to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due to $90.5 million of loan repayments, partially offset by $34.7 million of new loan originations and $3.2 million of loan purchases. During the current quarter, the Company sold loans totaling $2.4 million, of which $919,000 were nonperforming assets.
The following table provides information about our loan portfolio by type of loan, with purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans presented as a separate balance, at the dates presented.

Acquired loans. As of March 31, 2026, our total loan portfolio included $204.2 million, or 10.2%, of loans acquired through business combinations (all of which were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the time of acquisition), of which $108.4 million had no remaining net premium or discount.
As of March 31, 2026, acquired non-PCD loans totaled $96.6 million, with a remaining net premium of $1.3 million, compared to $121.1 million with a remaining net premium of $397,000 as of December 31, 2025. The net premium for acquired non-PCD loans includes a credit discount based on estimated losses in the acquired loans, partially offset by any premium based on market interest rates on the date of acquisition.
As of March 31, 2026, acquired PCD loans totaled $12.1 million, with a remaining net non-credit discount of $648,000, compared to $16.1 million with a remaining net non-credit discount of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2025.
Nonperforming assets and loans. Nonperforming assets generally consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. Nonperforming assets increased $3.2 million to $16.7 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $13.4 million, or 0.65% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The Company held no OREO at either date.
Nonperforming loans totaled $16.7 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $13.4 million, or 0.65% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The increase from the prior quarter-end was primarily due to one $4.9 million commercial real estate loan being placed on nonaccrual during the current quarter, partially offset by payoffs of five nonaccrual loans totaling $1.6 million. The majority of nonperforming loans remain concentrated in the commercial real estate portfolio, while consumer and other commercial loans continue to exhibit low levels of delinquencies. At March 31, 2026, nonaccrual loans included $7.0 million of loans 30–89 days past due and $6.3 million of loans less than 30 days past due. The $7.0 million of loans 30-89 days past due consisted of four loans and the $6.3 million of nonaccrual loans less than 30 days past due consisted of 15 loans, all of which were placed on nonaccrual due to borrower-specific financial concerns, indicators of credit deterioration, and other credit related factors, which provided reasonable doubt about the full collectability of principal and interest, rather than delinquency. At December 31, 2025, nonaccrual loans included $562,000 of loans 30–89 days past due and $9.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At December 31, 2025, the $9.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due was comprised of 15 loans all of which were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers.
Of the nonperforming loans at March 31, 2026, approximately $932,000 were guaranteed by governmental agencies, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in government-guaranteed nonaccrual loans during this period reflects the pay-off of one nonaccrual loan during the current quarter.
In general, loans are placed on nonaccrual status after being contractually delinquent for more than 90 days, or earlier, if management believes full collection of future principal and interest on a timely basis is unlikely. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued but not received is charged against interest income. When the ability to fully collect nonaccrual loan principal is in doubt, cash payments received are applied against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the remaining recorded balance is expected. Interest received on such loans is recognized as interest income when received. A nonaccrual loan is restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are brought current, and full payment of principal and interest is probable. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection will remain on accrual status.
Loans may be acquired at a premium or discount to par value, in which case the premium is amortized (subtracted from) or accreted (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Generally, over time, the effects of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off before maturity. Upon the payoff of a loan before maturity, any remaining (unaccreted) discount or (unamortized) premium is immediately taken into interest income; as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income.

Modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Occasionally, the Company offers modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions or any combination of these. When principal is forgiven, the amount of the forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses for loans. Upon the Company’s subsequent determination that a modified loan (or a portion thereof) is uncollectible, the loan (or portion thereof) is charged off. The amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses for loans is adjusted by the same amount.
Modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, totaled $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. All such modified loans were on nonaccrual status as of each respective reporting date. Modified loans that are accruing and performing in accordance with their modified terms are not classified as nonperforming loans because they continue to accrue interest and demonstrate satisfactory payment performance despite their modified terms. There were no such modified loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, individually evaluated modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty had no related allowance.

Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $200,000 and $269,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was approximately $140,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Allowance for credit losses for loans. The allowance for credit losses is determined by the Company on a quarterly basis, although management monitors the appropriate level of the allowance more frequently. We assess the allowance for credit losses based on three categories: (i) originated loans, (ii) acquired non-PCD loans, and (iii) acquired

PCD loans. The allowance for credit losses reflects management’s estimate of current expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolios. The computation includes elements of judgment and high levels of subjectivity.
At March 31, 2026, the Company’s allowance for credit losses for loans was $20.6 million, or 1.02% of total loans, compared to $21.2 million, or 1.03% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. Management currently believes that the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026 is adequate to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio.
The decrease in the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the reserve for pooled loans due to lower loan balances, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic forecasts, including lower forecasted unemployment and an improved national gross domestic product outlook. In addition, there was an $82,000 decrease in the reserve for individually evaluated loans during the current quarter. Qualitative risk factor classifications remained unchanged during the current quarter.
Net charge-offs were $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $102,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company individually evaluated $15.1 million in loans, of which $4.4 million had a specific allowance totaling $1.3 million as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company individually evaluated $14.9 million in loans, of which $4.5 million had a specific allowance totaling $1.4 million.
Management considers the allowance for credit losses for loans at March 31, 2026 to be adequate to cover expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of current portfolio performance, historical loss experience, and relevant qualitative and quantitative factors, including current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in determining the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, actual credit losses may differ from those expected. Changes in economic conditions, borrower performance, or other factors could result in actual losses exceeding the current allowance, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the methodology, assumptions, and judgments used in determining the allowance for credit losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in adjustments to the provision for credit losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination.
Deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funding and generally consist of core deposits from the communities served by our branch and office locations. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a competitive range of interest rates and terms to both consumers and businesses. Deposits include interest bearing and noninterest bearing demand accounts,
42
Table of Contents
savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. These accounts earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors, management’s desire to increase certain product types or maturities, and consistent with our asset/liability, liquidity and profitability objectives. Competitive products, competitive pricing and high touch client service are important to attracting and retaining these deposits.
Total deposits increased $51.8 million, or 2.3%, to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $609.2 million, or 26.9% of total deposits, compared to $578.1 million, or 26.1% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $31.2 million. From December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, interest-bearing deposits generally increased, with time deposits increasing $19.9 million, money market accounts increasing $13.3 million, and savings accounts increasing $905,000. By contrast, NOW accounts declined $13.6 million during the same period. Time deposits included no brokered deposits as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
The overall increase in total deposits from December 31, 2025 primarily reflects noninterest-bearing demand deposit growth, partially offset by a decline in NOW accounts. In addition, the increase in money market and time deposits was driven by growth, and to a lesser extent a shift in deposit composition reflecting continued customer migration toward interest-bearing products in response to the prevailing rate environment. Management continues to monitor deposit mix and pricing strategies in the context of funding costs, liquidity needs, and interest rate risk.
We consider our deposit base to be seasoned, stable and well-diversified, and we do not have any significant industry concentrations among our non-insured deposits. We also offer our customers the ability to place deposits in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) money market product services via the IntraFi Network, to insure deposits above FDIC insurance limits. At March 31, 2026, our average deposit account size (excluding public funds), calculated by dividing period-end deposits by the population of accounts with balances, was approximately $63,000. See “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding our top ten depositors.

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may from time to time utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when they can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our asset/liability management goals. We are a member of and may obtain advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The eleven regional Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility for their member institutions. These advances are provided upon the security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we could borrow up to $599.3 million and $580.7 million, respectively, from the FHLB of San Francisco. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no FHLB advances outstanding.

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we could borrow up to $43.4 million and $49.3 million, respectively, from the FRB of San Francisco. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no FRB advances outstanding.
At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a total of $65.0 million in federal funds lines available from third-party correspondent banks and no balances outstanding at these dates.
At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net of fair value adjustments, assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $5.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively. The decrease reflects the redemption of one debenture during the first quarter of 2026.
At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding subordinated debt.
We are required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the FHLB of San Francisco had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Bank totaling $42.1 million and $41.6 million, respectively, as collateral for local agency deposits.
Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $5.4 million, to $344.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $338.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in shareholders’ equity primarily was due to $8.2 million of net income earned during the first quarter of 2026 and $340,000 of other comprehensive income, net of taxes, related mainly to changes in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. These items were partially offset by $3.3 million of accrued cash dividends. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock, compared to the repurchase of $1.3 million of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Earnings summary. Net income was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2.5 million or 43.5%. The increase was primarily as a result of a $2.3 million increase in net interest income and a $1.3 million favorable change in the provision for credit losses, reflecting a net recovery in the current quarter compared to a $642,000 provision in the prior-year quarter, as well as a $105,000 increase in noninterest income. These changes were partially offset by a $517,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $738,000 increase in the provision for income taxes. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.75 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.51 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and noninterest income, was 61.73% and 65.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter was primarily driven by higher net interest income.
Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $34.6 million, compared to $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million or 5.8%. Increased yields earned on interest-earning assets, along with an increase in the average balance of loans, were the primary drivers of the increase in interest income, partially offset by decreases in the average balances of investment securities and fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks.
Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $2.4 million, or 8.9%, to $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to an $89.2 million increase in the average balance of loans and a 23 basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average balance of loans was $2.0 billion for the first quarter of 2026, up 4.6% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The average yield on loans was 5.87% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 5.64% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the average yield on loans reflected increased rates on variable rate loans, as well as new loans being originated at higher market interest rates.
Interest income on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 included $600,000 and $215,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans. During the current quarter, one $4.0 million acquired commercial real

estate loan paid off, resulting in $555,000 of discount accretion and recovery of interest of $610,000. Accretion of the net discount and recovery of interest positively impacted the average loan yield by 11 and 12 basis points, respectively during the current quarter, compared to minimal impact during the first quarter of 2025. Remaining net discounts on these acquired loans totaled $649,000 and $223,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The combined approximately $1.2 million of discount accretion and interest recovery recognized during the current quarter as a result of the $4.0 million single loan payoff is non-recurring in nature. With only $649,000 of remaining net discount available for future accretion, the contribution of acquired loan accretion to loan yields and net interest margin is expected to be minimal in future periods. Additionally, interest income on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, included $17,000 and $162,000, respectively, in fees related to prepayment penalties.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $322,000, or 13.1%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of decreases in the average balance and average yield. The average balance of investment securities totaled $188.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $210.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average yield on investment securities was 4.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decreases in the average balance and the average yield from the same quarter a year ago were due to paydowns and calls on higher variable-rate securities and rate resets on variable rate securities. In addition, during the first quarter of 2026, we received $709,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, including $330,000 in special dividends from the FHLB, compared to $393,000 during the first quarter of 2025. The $330,000 in special dividends received from the FHLB during the current quarter is not expected to recur at a predictable frequency. These special dividends contributed approximately five basis points to the reported net interest margin. Excluding special dividends, FHLB and FRB dividend income would have remained essentially unchanged between periods.
Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased $513,000, or 19.4%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of decreases in both the average yield and average balance. The average yield decreased 77 basis points to 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting decreases in Federal Reserve policy rates. The average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balance in banks totaled $234.2 million and $240.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $412,000, or 4.2%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the Company’s redemption of all outstanding subordinated debt in the first quarter of 2026, which is expected to reduce interest expense by approximately $55,000 per quarter going forward, partially offset by a one-time charge of $222,000 to write off remaining debt issuance costs in connection with the redemption of a junior subordinated debenture during the quarter.
Interest expense on deposits increased $281,000, or 3.2%, to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to growth in average balances of money market and time deposit accounts, partially offset by lower rates paid on those accounts. The average rate paid on money market accounts decreased 17 basis points to 2.14% during the first quarter of 2026, compared to 2.31% in the same period of 2025, and the average rate on time deposits declined 27 basis points to 3.51%, compared to 3.78% for the prior-year period. The average cost of all interest-bearing deposits was 2.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The overall average cost of deposits was 1.63% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.66% for the first quarter of 2025. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities was 2.29% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 2.49% for the first quarter of 2025. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits was $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $63.2 million, or 4.0%, to $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased to $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1.5 billion for the same period in 2025. Within this category, the average balance of money market accounts rose $85.1 million, or 13.0%, to $739.9 million, while time deposits increased $53.9 million, or 10.3%, to $576.2 million. In contrast, average balances for savings accounts declined over the same period.

The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $17.2 million, or 2.9%, to $586.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $603.7 million for the same period in 2025. This shift in deposit composition from noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings accounts to interest-bearing time, NOW, and money market accounts reflects continued customer migration toward higher-yielding products in response to prevailing market rates and competitive offerings.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $693,000, or 64.0%, to $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the Company’s redemption of all outstanding subordinated debt in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in lower interest expense. The average cost of total borrowings increased to 19.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 6.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average cost of borrowings was negatively impacted due to the Company’s redemption of one junior subordinated debenture in the current quarter, which included $222,000 of accelerated amortized debt issuance costs. The average balance of borrowings decreased $64.2 million to $8.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $72.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 10.1%, to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income primarily reflects increases in interest income on loans, including fees, which rose by $2.4 million or 8.9%, due to higher average balances and yields, and FHLB dividends, and a decrease in interest expense on subordinated debt. These changes were partially offset by decreases in interest income on fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks and on investment securities, which declined by $322,000 or 13.1%. Average interest-earning assets increased $59.9 million, or 2.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.
The average annualized yield on interest-earning assets was 5.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an 18 basis point increase from 5.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase reflects the origination of new loans at higher rates, a special dividend received from the FHLB, accretion of net discount and recovery of interest on payoff of an acquired loan discussed above, partially offset by a lower average yield on interest-bearing balances in banks. The average annualized cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 20 basis point decrease from 2.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease reflects the payoff of the subordinated debt and lower rates paid on money market and time deposits, reflecting similar market-driven repricing conditions. As a result, the annualized net interest margin increased to 4.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.83% for the same period in 2025. The reported net interest margin of 4.11% includes the effects of the following non-recurring items: (i) $555,000 of discount accretion and $610,000 of interest recovery on the payoff of a single acquired CRE loan, together contributing approximately 23 basis points to the net interest margin; (ii) $330,000 of FHLB special dividends, contributing approximately five basis points to the net interest margin; and (iii) $222,000 of accelerated debt issuance cost amortization on junior subordinated debentures, reducing net interest margin by approximately four basis points.

Rate/Volume Analysis. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in weighted average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume.

Provision for credit losses. We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses of $670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to provision of $642,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The reversal of provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily driven by a decrease in total loans outstanding and, to a lesser extent, decreasing quantitative loss rates due to favorable changes in forecasted economic conditions. We recorded $15,000 in net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $102,000 in net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $105,000, or 7.3%, to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $313,000 swing in equity securities, which went from a loss of $255,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to a gain of $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and a $194,000 increase in gain on a SBIC fund investment. These changes were partially offset by a $204,000 decrease in service charges and other fees due to lower customer deposits placed in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) money market product services via the IntraFi Network, a $102,000 decrease in loan servicing fees and other fees primarily due to a decrease in late charges, and a $75,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $517,000, or 3.2%, to $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $914,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, resulting from higher incentive expense, increased base wages, higher employee insurance claims, and lower deferred salary costs due to lower loan originations, as well as a $185,000 increase in data processing expense due to newly implemented services in 2026 and higher vendor data processing charges. These changes were partially offset by a $573,000 decrease in other expense, primarily due to $450,000 of excess funds being returned to the Bank in the first quarter of 2026 from the CalCAP loss reserve account, while no unused CalCAP funds were returned in the first quarter of 2025, as well as lower legal and professional service costs and reduced deposit premium amortization.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company announced an executive leadership transition that is expected to result in material charges to noninterest expense, including cash severance, equity award acceleration, and continuation of benefits, beginning in the second quarter of 2026. See “Note 19 — Subsequent Events” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $738,000, or 37.1%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to higher taxable income.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.0% and 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to true-up adjustments for state apportionment and other adjustments related to the filing of the Company’s 2025 tax return.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Planning for our normal business liquidity needs, both expected and unexpected, is done on a daily and short-term basis through the cash management function. On a longer-term basis, it is accomplished through the budget and strategic planning functions, with support from internal asset/liability management software model projections.
Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run off that may occur in the normal course of business. We rely on multiple sources to meet our potential liquidity needs. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, escrow and custodial deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from sales of loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank sold $2.4 million in loan participation interests and received $90.5 million in principal loan repayments. While maturities and scheduled amortizations of loans are generally predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.
Deposits increased $51.8 million to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2025 and liquid assets, in the form of cash and cash equivalents, increased $99.4 million to $305.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $206.5 million at December 31, 2025. In addition, investment securities available-for-sale increased $9.7 million to $189.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $179.7 million at December 31, 2025. Management believes that our securities portfolio is of high quality and that the securities would therefore be marketable. Securities purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $19.7 million, while securities repayments, maturities and sales during that period totaled $10.3 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2026, totaled $503.7 million. It is management’s policy to maintain deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that most of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us.
In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity of $599.3 million with the FHLB of San Francisco, with no borrowings outstanding at that date or at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, we had the ability to borrow up to $43.4 million from the FRB of San Francisco, with no borrowings outstanding at that date or at December 31, 2025. The Bank also had, as of March 31, 2026, federal funds lines with four correspondent banks, with available commitments totaling $65.0 million. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, to repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer-term basis, a strategy is maintained of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and U.S. agency securities. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, to pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At March 31, 2026, loan commitments and letters of credit totaled $65.4 million, including $194,000 of undisbursed construction and development loan commitments. For information regarding our commitments, see “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Information” of Part I of this report.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $7.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by investing activities was $47.0 million, which consisted primarily of a $59.0 million net decrease in loans, reflecting principal repayments and loan sales, and $10.3 million in proceeds from maturities, repayments and calls of investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by $19.7 million in purchases of investment securities and $3.2 million in loan purchases, compared to $8.6 million of net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $45.4 million, which was comprised primarily of a $31.8 million increase in noninterest and interest-bearing deposits and a $19.9 million increase in time deposits, partially offset by $3.3 million in dividend payments to shareholders and $3.1 million in repayment of a junior subordinated debenture, compared to $108.2 million of net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management believes our capital sources are adequate to meet

all reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term cash requirements. There has not been a material change in our liquidity and capital resources since the information disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report other than set forth above. We are not aware of any reasonably likely material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources.
BayCom Corp is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At March 31, 2026, BayCom Corp had liquid assets of $1.7 million. In addition to its operating expenses, BayCom Corp is responsible for paying to its shareholders any dividends that have been declared, funding stock repurchases, and making payments on its junior subordinated debentures. BayCom Corp can receive dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends and make other capital distributions. BayCom Corp’s liquidity needs are primarily met through dividends received from the Bank, which management believes will be sufficient to satisfy obligations at the holding company level for the foreseeable future.
On February 19, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock, which was paid on April 9, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2026. The Company expects to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock, subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Assuming continued payment of the cash dividend at the rate of $0.30 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $3.3 million based on the number of our outstanding shares at March 31, 2026. The dividends we pay may be limited as more fully discussed under “Business – Supervision and Regulation – BayCom Corp – Dividends” and “– Regulatory Capital Requirements” contained in “Part I. Item 1. Business” of the 2025 Annual Report.
From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs. In general, stock repurchases allow us to proactively manage our capital position and return excess capital to shareholders. Stock repurchases also provide us with shares of common stock necessary to satisfy obligations related to stock compensation awards. As of March 31, 2026, 202,444 shares remained available for repurchase under the Company’s current stock repurchase program. For additional information on the Company’s stock repurchases, see “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” contained in Part II of this report.
Regulatory Capital
The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank and member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, is subject to capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve requires the Bank to maintain levels of capital adequacy that generally parallel the FDIC’s requirements. The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 Leverage Capital to average assets. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain “Well Capitalized” status under the Federal Reserve regulations. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank was considered Well Capitalized at both of those dates.

In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital greater than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. At March 31, 2026, the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.
For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank-only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary bank(s) to be Well Capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company were subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2026, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Business — Supervision and Regulation — United Business Bank — Capital Requirements” and “Note 18 - Regulatory Matters” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, see “Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market and Interest Rate Risk,” in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), was conducted as of March 31, 2026 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
The Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2026, based on their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

| (1) | In May 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s ninth stock repurchase program, which commenced following completion of the eighth stock repurchase program in June 2024, authorizing the purchase of up to 560,000 shares, or approximately 5.0%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Board’s authorization is open-ended and has no expiration date. Purchases under the Company’s stock repurchase programs may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase programs may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The Company’s stock repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to purchase any specific number of shares. |
