Insights

Banking sector equity analyst

Q1 shows solid post-merger profitability with stable margin and contained credit costs.

CNB Financial delivered Q1 2026 net income of $27.0M, or $0.88 per diluted share, with adjusted results essentially matching GAAP figures as merger-related charges subsided. Total revenue of $83.3M was supported by net interest income of $73.3M and a fully tax-equivalent net interest margin of 3.84%.

Loan balances of $6.4B fell modestly quarter over quarter as several large commercial real estate credits prepaid, while deposits of $7.1B grew, aided by Treasury Management relationships. Credit quality remained manageable: net charge-offs were $884K (annualized 0.06% of average loans) and nonperforming assets were $49.2M, or 0.58% of total assets.

Capital metrics stayed strong, with common equity to assets at 9.76% and tangible common equity to tangible assets at 8.46%. Efficiency improved significantly, with the fully tax-equivalent efficiency ratio at 57.32% versus 67.73% in Q4 2025 as merger and integration costs rolled off, supporting management’s emphasis on "positive and sustained core results" following the ESSA acquisition.

6 terms

net interest margin financial

"Net interest margin was 3.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2026"

Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

pre-provision net revenue financial

"Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $34.1 million"

Pre-provision net revenue is a bank’s income from core operations — interest earned minus interest paid plus fees and other operating income, after operating costs — measured before setting aside funds for potential loan losses. Investors use it to gauge how well a bank’s everyday business generates money independent of one-time loss reserves, like judging a store’s sales and operating profit before accounting for an expected number of returned items.

tangible book value per common share financial

"Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $23.97"

A per-share measure of the company’s tangible net asset value available to common shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill, brand value, and patents) and any preferred shareholder claims. Think of it as the amount each common share would get if the company sold only its physical and financial assets and settled priority claims. Investors use it as a conservative baseline to judge whether a stock is cheaply priced relative to the company’s hard-asset backing.

allowance for credit losses financial

"The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.04%"

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

nonperforming assets financial

"Total nonperforming assets were approximately $49.2 million, or 0.58% of total assets"

Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.

efficiency ratio financial

"The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 59.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2026"

A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – April 20, 2026

CNB Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Key Financial Trends

•Earnings - Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $26.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $32.6 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $10.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

◦Adjusted earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a non-GAAP measure, were $25.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, with adjusted earnings excluding after-tax merger and integration costs ("merger transaction related expenses") related to the Corporation’s acquisition of ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (“ESSA”) and the impacts of the adjustment to the provision for credit losses with the Corporation’s adoption of Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans ("provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08"), as discussed in further detail below.1 Earnings for March 31, 2026 represent an increase of $114 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

•Loans - Excluding $78.3 million of syndicated loan balances, loans were $6.4 billion as of March 31, 2026. Organic loans decreased for the quarter by $67.3 million, or 1.41% (5.73% annualized), compared to December 31, 2025.1 The decrease in organic loans was driven primarily by an increased level of prepayments in certain larger Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) loans.

•Deposits - At March 31, 2026, total deposits were $7.1 billion. Including $89.9 million in deposits classified as held for sale, organic deposit growth for the quarter totaled $115.0 million, or 1.62% (6.55% annualized), compared to December 31, 2025.1

•Net Interest Margin - Net interest margin was 3.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.84% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.84% and 3.84%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.1 Included in net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis was $3.0 million and $3.2 million of purchase accounting loan accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

•Credit Quality - Total nonperforming assets were approximately $49.2 million, or 0.58% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $42.2 million, or 0.50% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025.

◦Net loan charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $884 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to net loan charge-offs of $1.5 million, or 0.09% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

•Capital - Book value per common share was $28.06 and $27.63 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses and the provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08, book value per common share was $28.02 at December 31, 2025. Book value per common share for March 31, 2026 reflects an increase of $0.04, or 0.14%, compared to adjusted book value per common share at December 31, 2025.1

◦Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $23.97 and $23.48 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.1 Excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses and the provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08, adjusted tangible book value per common share was $23.88 as of December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share for March 31, 2026 reflects an increase of $0.09, or 0.38%, compared to the adjusted tangible book value per common share as of December 31, 2025.1

1 This release contains references to certain financial measures that are not defined by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results of operations with prior periods, and reflect the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.

Executive Summary

•Earnings were $26.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $32.6 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $10.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses and provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08, adjusted earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $25.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted share. Earnings for March 31, 2026 represent an increase of $114 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The quarterly increase in adjusted earnings was driven by lower non-interest expense, partially offset by lower net interest income and non-interest income, as discussed below. Excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses, earnings and diluted earnings per share were $11.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Earnings for March 31, 2026 represent an increase of $14.1 million or $0.31 per diluted share, representing a 54.39% increase compared to adjusted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due primarily to the overall impact of the acquisition of ESSA.1

•At March 31, 2026, loans totaled $6.4 billion, excluding $78.3 million of syndicated loans. Organic loans decreased $67.3 million, or 1.41% (5.73% annualized), compared to December 31, 2025. Excluding $1.7 billion in loans, net of estimated purchase accounting fair value adjustments, acquired in the ESSA acquisition, organic loan growth was $156.2 million, or an increase of 3.44%, compared to March 31, 2025.1 The decrease in loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by an increased level of CRE loan prepayments, including full repayments of $71.4 million of CRE loans acquired in 2025 as a result of the ESSA merger, and a full payoff of $40.0 million of the Corporation’s largest office building loan related to a CRE property in the BankOnBuffalo division. The year-over-year growth in loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by growth in the Ridge View Bank, BankOnBuffalo, and ERIEBANK markets.

◦At March 31, 2026, the syndicated loan portfolio totaled $78.3 million, or 1.22% of total loans, compared to $70.8 million, or 1.09% of total loans, at December 31, 2025 and $69.2 million, or 1.50% of total loans, at March 31, 2025. The increase in syndicated lending balances of $7.5 million compared to December 31, 2025 reflects the Corporation's continued focus on evaluating the level and composition of its syndicated loan portfolio to ensure it continues to provide strong credit quality, profitable use of excess liquidity, and complements the Corporation’s loan growth from its in-market customer relationships. The Corporation’s portfolio of syndicated credits includes only commercial and industrial loans and no CRE exposure.

•At March 31, 2026, total deposits were $7.1 billion. Including $89.9 million in deposits classified as held for sale, total deposits increased $115.0 million, or 1.62% (6.55% annualized), compared to December 31, 2025. Excluding $1.5 billion in deposits assumed in the ESSA acquisition (net of estimated purchase accounting fair value adjustments), and including $89.9 million in deposits classified as held for sale, total deposits increased $314.3 million, or 5.76%, compared to March 31, 2025.1 The $89.9 million in deposits classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2026 are associated with a planned sale of certain customer deposit accounts that are part of a broader strategic initiative to optimize the Corporation’s branch and market footprint following the ESSA acquisition. The quarter-over-quarter increase in organic deposit balances as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was driven primarily by expanded Treasury Management activity among municipal deposit relationships, supplemented by growth in corporate and wholesale deposits. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:

◦At March 31, 2026, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $2.1 billion, or 29.11% of total CNB Bank deposits. When excluding $32.1 million of affiliate company deposits and $808.1 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, adjusted total estimated uninsured deposits as of March 31, 2026 were approximately $1.3 billion, or 17.54% of total CNB Bank deposits.

▪The level of adjusted uninsured deposits at March 31, 2026 decreased compared to December 31, 2025. The total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank at December 31, 2025 were approximately $2.0 billion, or approximately 28.13% of total CNB Bank deposits. Excluding $18.4 million of affiliate company deposits and $680.4 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, adjusted total estimated uninsured deposits as of December 31, 2025 were approximately $1.3 billion, or approximately 18.33% of total CNB Bank deposits.

◦At March 31, 2026, the Corporation had $517.7 million of cash equivalents held at CNB Bank’s interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with total contingent liquidity resources of $6.2 billion including (i) available borrowing capacity from both the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve, and (ii) available unused commitments from brokered deposit sources and other third-party funding channels, including previously established lines of credit from correspondent banks, resulted in the total available liquidity sources for the Corporation as of March 31, 2026 of approximately 5.3 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances discussed above.

•At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had $164.0 million outstanding in short-term borrowings. The Corporation had no outstanding short-term borrowings at March 31, 2025. The increase in short-term borrowings at March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 was attributable to borrowings assumed with the ESSA acquisition.

•At March 31, 2026, the Corporation's pre-tax net unrealized losses on the combined portfolios of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled $51.9 million, or 5.83% of total shareholders' equity, compared to $47.0 million, or 5.39% of total shareholders' equity, at December 31, 2025, and $61.7 million, or 9.88% of total shareholders' equity, at March 31, 2025. The change in unrealized losses during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to changes in the yield curve, coupled with the Corporation’s scheduled bond maturities, which were all realized at par. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would still exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized.

•Total nonperforming assets were $49.2 million, or 0.58% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $42.2 million, or 0.50% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025, and were $56.1 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025. The increase of $7.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by one commercial relationship. The decrease of $6.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the resolution of several loans, as previously disclosed, coupled with paydowns of existing nonperforming assets, partially offset by certain ESSA-related additions. Net loan charge-offs were $884 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.09% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $1.4 million, or 0.13% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

•Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $34.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $26.3 million and $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.1 Excluding merger and integration costs, adjusted PPNR was $34.1 million and $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.1 The quarter-over-quarter change in adjusted PPNR was driven by lower non-interest expense, partially offset by lower net interest income and non-interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to stronger net interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Michael Peduzzi, President & CEO of the Corporation, stated: "In a quarter without significant merger-related expenses from our ESSA Bancorp acquisition and related system conversion in 2025, these first quarter earnings reflect positive and sustained core results, including expected operating efficiencies. As the acquired ESSA division’s demonstrated credit quality and core deposit stability have performed in alignment with our expectations, we are now focused on the growth opportunities presented in these new Northeastern Pennsylvania markets to complement the continued franchise expansion we are experiencing in our legacy CNB markets across our four-state footprint.

The first quarter’s net reduction in total loan balances was not reflective of the positive loan production in the quarter. We realized a favorable net increase in commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances, and we enter the second quarter with a continuing strong loan pipeline across our entire portfolio mix, so we look for this positive production to continue. The quarter-over-quarter decline in total loans was primarily attributable to significant CRE payoffs well ahead of their scheduled maturities, including: (i) the payoff of a large $40 million commercial office building loan that, though a performing asset continuously since its origination several years back, was no longer in alignment with the Bank’s desired CRE portfolio profile; and (ii) over $70 million of total reductions in several CRE credits acquired from ESSA. Our original post-merger projections expected this ESSA CRE reduction to occur in the latter half of 2025, but many payoffs did not occur until the first quarter of 2026. Importantly, all of these CRE reductions were full payoffs with no concessions or loan losses. With both the net decreased CRE exposure from these large first quarter payoffs, and the increase in our total C&I loans outstanding, our current loan portfolio position reflects an effective rotation towards our more desired portfolio mix going forward.

The continued success and growth of our Treasury Management efforts, reflected by a continuing increase in our noninterest-bearing deposit balances, allowed us to continue to fund our franchise operations primarily by deposits as opposed to higher-costing borrowings. These Treasury Management customers also provide increasing prospects for noninterest income from deposit account management fees, interchange income on purchasing card program expansion, and increasing merchant services income. We also continue to enhance our fee-based revenues from Wealth Management with enhanced systems, services, and products to expand our Private Banking, investment management, and retirement plan offerings to both existing commercial relationship principals and new clients across many of our newer markets.

We remain focused on achieving increased shareholder tangible book value accretion and providing cash returns from sustained levels of operating performance and retained earnings, continued regular dividends, and strategic balance sheet and capital management activities."

Other Balance Sheet Highlights

•Book value per common share was $28.06, $27.63, and $27.01 at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Tangible book value per common share for March 31, 2026 reflects an increase of $0.09, or 0.38%, compared to adjusted tangible book value per common share as of December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share decreased $1.01, or 4.04%, excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses, from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, driven by the number of common shares outstanding as a result of the issuance of 8.4 million common shares as consideration for the ESSA acquisition, coupled with the increase in acquisition-related goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $44.6 million and $32.5 million, respectively, partially offset by the increase in retained earnings (net of the payment of common and preferred stock dividends), coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio.1

Loan Portfolio Profile

•As part of its lending policy and risk management activities, the Corporation tracks lending exposure by industry classification and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and to identify any concentration risk issues that could lead to additional credit loss exposure. An important and recurring part of this process involves the Corporation’s continued measurement and evaluation of its exposure to the office, hospitality, and multifamily industries within its commercial real estate portfolio. Even with the Corporation’s historically sound underwriting protocols and high credit quality standards for borrowers in the commercial real estate industry segments, the Corporation monitors numerous relevant sensitivity elements, including occupancy, loan-to-value, absorption and cap rates, debt service coverage and covenant compliance, and developer/lessor financial strength both in the project and globally. At March 31, 2026, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its office, hospitality, and multifamily portfolios with such metrics including the impact on the respective portfolios of loans acquired during the third quarter of 2025 from the ESSA acquisition, as well as notable early payoffs of larger CRE credits occurring in the first quarter of 2026 as previously noted:

◦Commercial office loans:

▪There were 142 outstanding loans, totaling $146.7 million, or 2.28% of total loans outstanding;

▪There were two nonaccrual commercial office loans that totaled $2.1 million, or 1.44% of total commercial office loans outstanding;

▪There were three past-due commercial office loans that totaled $2.3 million, or 1.58% of the total commercial office loans outstanding; and

▪The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $1.0 million.

◦Commercial hospitality loans:

▪There were 158 outstanding loans, totaling $346.5 million, or 5.39% of total loans outstanding;

▪There were no nonaccrual commercial hospitality loans;

▪There were no past-due commercial hospitality loans; and

▪The average outstanding balance per commercial hospitality loan was $2.2 million.

◦Commercial multifamily loans:

▪There were 352 outstanding loans, totaling $558.2 million, or 8.68% of total loans outstanding;

▪There were two nonaccrual commercial multifamily loans that totaled $782 thousand, or 0.14% of total multifamily loans outstanding;

▪There were four past-due commercial multifamily loan that totaled $1.1 million, or 0.19% of total multifamily loans outstanding; and

▪The average outstanding balance per commercial multifamily loan was $1.6 million.

The Corporation had no commercial office, hospitality or multifamily loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be high volatility commercial real estate ("HVCRE") credits. No credits acquired from ESSA were considered HVCRE.

Performance Ratios

•Annualized return on average equity was 12.36%, 15.58%, and 7.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after‑tax merger transaction related expenses and the provision adjustment related to the adoption of ASU 2025‑08, annualized return on average equity was 12.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Excluding after‑tax merger transaction related expenses, annualized return on average equity was 8.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

•Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 14.89%, 19.29% and 8.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.1 Excluding after-tax merger transaction related expenses and the provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08, annualized return on average tangible common equity was 15.30% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Excluding after‑tax merger transaction related expenses, annualized return on average tangible common equity was 9.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.1

•The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 59.03%, 69.55% and 72.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and 57.32%, 67.73% and 71.28%, respectively, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure.1 Excluding merger and integration costs, the efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis was 58.80% and 68.62%, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.1 The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by lower non-interest expense, partially offset by lower net interest income and non-interest income, as further discussed below. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

Revenue

•Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $83.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $86.4 million and $56.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

◦Net interest income was $73.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $74.3 million and $48.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. When comparing the first quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decrease in net interest income of $956 thousand, or 1.29% (5.22% annualized), was primarily due to a decrease in average loans outstanding (primarily from certain larger CRE loan prepayments as previously discussed), lower average loan yields, and a decrease in purchase accounting accretion. Included in the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025 were $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in purchase accounting loan accretion.

◦Net interest margin was 3.83%, 3.84%, and 3.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.84%, 3.84% and 3.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.1 Excluding the $3.0 million and $3.2 million in purchase accounting loan accretion in the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025, respectively, the net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 3.68% and 3.68%, respectively.1

▪The yield on earning assets of 5.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased 12 basis points compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 and increased 12 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in yield in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to a decrease in average loans outstanding (primarily from certain larger CRE loan prepayments as previously discussed), lower average loan yields, and a decrease in purchase accounting accretion. In addition, lower loan growth resulted in a higher mix of earning assets invested in lower‑yielding investment securities and interest‑bearing cash balances. The increase in yield in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to year-over-year loan growth and the impact from the ESSA acquisition.

▪The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting decreases of 13 basis points and 41 basis points from three months ended December 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate decreases since mid-September 2024, coupled with the benefit of ESSA’s lower overall interest cost of deposits.

•Total non‑interest income was $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.1 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The quarter‑over‑quarter decrease was primarily attributable to lower wealth and asset management fees, reduced bank‑owned life insurance benefits, and lower net realized gains on available‑for‑sale securities, partially offset by an increase in other non‑interest income. The decrease in wealth and asset management fees was primarily due to the inclusion of a $1.1 million transition fee in the fourth quarter of 2025 related to the Corporation’s migration of its retail investment business platform to a new provider. The decrease in bank‑owned life insurance income was primarily attributable to $1.0 million in death benefit proceeds recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in other non‑interest income reflects the absence of a $1.6 million loss on the sale of certain commercial real estate loans recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025, as previously disclosed. The year‑over‑year increase in non‑interest income was driven by increases in wealth and asset management fees, card processing and interchange income, and net realized gains on available‑for‑sale securities, partially offset by a decrease in other non‑interest income resulting from lower pass‑through income from small business investment companies (“SBICs”).

Non-Interest Expense

•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, total non‑interest expense was $49.2 million, $60.1 million, and $41.0 million, respectively. Excluding merger and integration costs, total non‑interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025 was $52.3 million and $39.5 million, respectively.1 Excluding merger and integration costs, the quarter‑over‑quarter decrease of $3.1 million, or 5.93%, was primarily driven by lower salaries and benefits and lower state and local taxes. The decrease in salaries and benefits reflected both discipline in hiring activities as we continue to integrate employees and process changes from the ESSA acquisition, and lower incentive compensation accruals as the three months ended December 31, 2025 incentive compensation accruals reflected a higher level of expected payouts given full-year 2025 confirmed target achievements. State and local tax expenses declined due to an $852 thousand sales tax refund. Excluding merger costs, the $9.7 million increase in non-interest expense compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by employees, facilities, required software licensing and core accounting system volume fee increases, and other costs added from the acquisition of ESSA.

Income Taxes

•Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.1 million, representing an 18.41% effective tax rate, compared to $8.1 million, representing a 19.48% effective tax rate, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $2.9 million, representing a 19.96% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Asset Quality

•Total nonperforming assets were approximately $49.2 million, or 0.58% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $42.2 million, or 0.50% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025, and $56.1 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025, as discussed in more detail above.

•The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.04% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2025, and 1.03% as of March 31, 2025. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 145.33% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 168.29% and 87.57% as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

•The provision for credit losses was $998 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net reversal of $15.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and a provision of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $16.5 million increase in the provision expense for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the early adoption of ASU 2025-08 in the fourth quarter of 2025. The adoption of ASU 2025-08 resulted in the reversal of $16.4 million in the provision for credit losses (offsetting the original $16.4 million in provision for credit loss expense recorded in the third quarter 2025), with a corresponding increase to the amortized cost balance of the acquired loan portfolio with an impact to purchase accounting loan accretion in subsequent periods.

•As discussed in more detail above, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, net loan charge-offs were $884 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, and $1.4 million, or 0.13% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Capital

•As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $889.1 million, representing an increase of $17.0 million, or 1.95%, from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $264.6 million, or 42.37%, from March 31, 2025. The quarter‑over‑quarter increase was primarily driven by earnings growth, partially offset by the payment of common and preferred stock dividends and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, primarily reflecting the after‑tax impact of market yield curve changes impacting the temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available‑for‑sale investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The year‑over‑year increase was driven by an increase of $202.6 million in additional paid‑in capital related to the ESSA acquisition, growth in earnings, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by the payment of common and preferred stock dividends during the twelve months ended March 31, 2026.

•Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of March 31, 2026, consistent with prior periods.

•As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.76% compared to 9.70% at December 31, 2025 and 9.00% at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 8.46%, 8.36%, and 8.36%, respectively.1 Excluding merger transaction related expenses and the provision adjustment related to adoption of ASU 2025-08, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, as of December 31, 2025 was 8.49%.1 Excluding merger transaction related expenses, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, as of March 31, 2025 was 8.38%.1 The increase in the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets compared to March 31, 2025 was primarily the result of an increase in retained earnings (net of the payment of common and preferred stock dividends), coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by the impacts of the ESSA acquisition.

Consolidated Financial Data Notes:
(1) Management uses non-GAAP financial information in its analysis of the Corporation’s performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Corporation’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Corporation’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Corporation’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
(2) Capital ratios as of March 31, 2026 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.

(1) Includes unamortized discounts and premiums.

(2) Average yields are stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis (calculated using statutory rates of 21%) resulting from tax-free municipal securities in the investment portfolio and tax-free municipal loans in the commercial loan portfolio. The taxable equivalent adjustment to net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $398 thousand, $338 thousand and $260 thousand, respectively.

(3) Average loans receivable outstanding includes the average balance outstanding of all nonaccrual loans. Loans receivable consists of the average of total loans receivable less average unearned income. In addition, loans receivable interest income consists of loans receivable fees.

(4) Average balance is computed using the fair value of AFS securities and amortized cost of HTM securities. Average yield has been computed using amortized cost average balance for AFS and HTM securities. The adjustment to the average balance for securities in the calculation of average yield for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $(32.2) million, $(35.2) million and $(48.1) million, respectively.
