OceanPal Inc. (OP) – Schedule 13G/A, Amendment 6: Maria Margaroni and Coronis Investments Inc. jointly report beneficial ownership of 8,614,379 common shares, equal to 5.9 % of the outstanding class as of the 31 Jul 2025 event date. Both filers hold 0 shares with sole voting or dispositive power; all powers are shared between them. The position arises from Series D preferred stock that is convertible into common shares, but a 15 Oct 2024 conversion agreement caps their combined ownership at 14.99 % of OceanPal’s post-conversion common stock.
The filing is made under Rule 13d-1(c), signalling a passive investment stance. Certifications state the securities were not acquired to influence control of the issuer. Signatures were executed on 1 Aug 2025 by Ms. Margaroni in her individual capacity and as President of Coronis Investments.
OceanPal Inc. (OP) – Schedule 13G/A, Emendamento 6: Maria Margaroni e Coronis Investments Inc. dichiarano congiuntamente la proprietà effettiva di 8.614.379 azioni ordinarie, pari al 5,9% della classe in circolazione alla data dell’evento del 31 luglio 2025. Entrambi i dichiaranti non detengono azioni con poteri di voto o dispositivi esclusivi; tutti i poteri sono condivisi tra loro. La posizione deriva da azioni privilegiate Serie D convertibili in azioni ordinarie, ma un accordo di conversione del 15 ottobre 2024 limita la loro proprietà combinata al 14,99% delle azioni ordinarie post-conversione di OceanPal.
La comunicazione è stata effettuata ai sensi della Regola 13d-1(c), indicando una posizione di investimento passivo. Le certificazioni dichiarano che i titoli non sono stati acquisiti per influenzare il controllo dell’emittente. Le firme sono state apposte il 1 agosto 2025 dalla Sig.ra Margaroni sia a titolo individuale sia come Presidente di Coronis Investments.

Ambos declarantes no poseen acciones con poder exclusivo de voto o disposición; todos los poderes se comparten entre ellos.

OceanPal Inc. (OP) – Schedule 13G/A, 수정 6: Maria Margaroni와 Coronis Investments Inc.는 2025년 7월 31일 기준으로 8,614,379 보통주를 공동으로 실질 소유하고 있으며, 이는 발행 주식의 5.9%에 해당합니다. 두 신고자는 단독 의결권이나 처분권이 있는 주식은 보유하지 않으며, 모든 권한은 공동으로 행사합니다. 이 지분은 보통주로 전환 가능한 D 시리즈 우선주에서 비롯되었으며, 2024년 10월 15일 체결된 전환 계약에 따라 이들의 총 소유권은 OceanPal의 전환 후 보통주 기준으로 14.99%로 제한됩니다.
본 신고는 Rule 13d-1(c)에 따라 이루어졌으며, 이는 수동적 투자 입장을 나타냅니다. 인증서에는 증권이 발행사의 지배권에 영향을 미치기 위해 취득된 것이 아님이 명시되어 있습니다. 서명은 2025년 8월 1일 Maria Margaroni가 개인 자격과 Coronis Investments 사장 자격으로 각각 수행하였습니다.
OceanPal Inc. (OP) – Schedule 13G/A, Amendement 6 : Maria Margaroni et Coronis Investments Inc. déclarent conjointement la propriété bénéficiaire de 8 614 379 actions ordinaires, soit 5,9 % de la catégorie en circulation à la date de l’événement du 31 juillet 2025. Les deux déclarants ne détiennent aucune action avec pouvoir exclusif de vote ou de disposition ; tous les pouvoirs sont partagés entre eux. Cette position provient d’actions privilégiées de série D convertibles en actions ordinaires, mais un accord de conversion du 15 octobre 2024 plafonne leur détention combinée à 14,99 % du capital ordinaire post-conversion d’OceanPal.
Le dépôt est effectué conformément à la règle 13d-1(c), indiquant une posture d’investissement passive. Les certifications précisent que les titres n’ont pas été acquis dans le but d’influencer le contrôle de l’émetteur. Les signatures ont été apposées le 1er août 2025 par Mme Margaroni en son nom propre et en tant que Présidente de Coronis Investments.
OceanPal Inc. (OP) – Schedule 13G/A, Änderung 6: Maria Margaroni und Coronis Investments Inc. melden gemeinsam den wirtschaftlichen Eigentum an 8.614.379 Stammaktien, was 5,9 % der ausstehenden Aktienklasse zum Stichtag 31. Juli 2025 entspricht. Beide Meldende halten keine Aktien mit alleinigem Stimm- oder Verfügungsrecht; sämtliche Rechte werden zwischen ihnen geteilt. Die Position ergibt sich aus Vorzugsaktien der Serie D, die in Stammaktien wandelbar sind, wobei eine Umwandlungsvereinbarung vom 15. Oktober 2024 deren gemeinsame Beteiligung auf 14,99 % der OceanPal-Stammaktien nach der Umwandlung begrenzt.
Die Meldung erfolgt gemäß Regel 13d-1(c) und signalisiert eine passive Investitionshaltung. Die Bescheinigungen bestätigen, dass die Wertpapiere nicht erworben wurden, um die Kontrolle über den Emittenten zu beeinflussen. Die Unterschriften wurden am 1. August 2025 von Frau Margaroni sowohl in eigener Funktion als auch als Präsidentin von Coronis Investments geleistet.
Positive
- Significant insider alignment: a 5.9 % ownership position links reporting persons’ economic interests with common shareholders.
- Control cap at 14.99 %: contractual limit reduces risk of sudden majority influence and offers clarity on maximum dilution.
Negative
- Dilution risk: Series D preferred shares remain convertible, potentially increasing the float toward the 14.99 % threshold.
- Concentrated influence: shared voting power places material sway over nearly 6 % of shares in one investor group.
Insights
TL;DR: 5.9 % passive stake disclosed; limited control intent; modest alignment with shareholders.
This Amendment 6 maintains Margaroni/Coronis holdings just under the 6 % threshold, indicating no major accumulation or divestiture since the prior update. The conversion cap at 14.99 % mitigates control risk while leaving room for additional dilution should further preferred shares convert. Passive filing (13G vs. 13D) signals no activist agenda, reducing near-term governance uncertainty. Overall impact on valuation is limited; however, insider exposure suggests some confidence in OceanPal’s prospects.
TL;DR: Potential dilution from Series D preferred remains, but control risk constrained by 14.99 % limit.
The disclosed stake could still expand to the conversion ceiling, implying incremental share supply pressure. Shared voting/dispositive rights mean decisions are coordinated, concentrating influence in one economic group. Yet the explicit certificate that the stake is not for control—and the passive filing—dampens takeover speculation. From a risk perspective, monitor future amendments for movements toward the 14.99 % cap which would heighten dilution and governance considerations.

Enterprise is a financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to individuals and corporate customers primarily located in Arizona, California, Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, and New Mexico, and SBA loan and deposit productions offices throughout the country through its banking subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2023-09, Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 was issued in December 2023 to require annual disclosures on specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Annual disclosures are required on income taxes paid, including the amounts paid for federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount paid in individual jurisdictions if the amount is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Additional annual disclosures are required on pre-tax income from continuing operations and income tax expense, disaggregated by domestic and foreign amounts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 was issued in November 2024 to require public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The amendments in this update improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 and does not expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents a summary of per common share data and amounts for the periods indicated.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, common stock equivalents of approximately 353,000 and 258,000 , respectively, were excluded from the earnings per share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Comparatively, there were 634,000 and 621,000 common stock equivalents excluded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The unrealized losses at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were attributable primarily to changes in market interest rates after the securities were purchased. At each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did no

Accrued interest on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $10.7 million and $8.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL on held-to-maturity securities was $0.3 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
There were no 9.5 million of available-for-sale securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 for a gain of $0.1 million.
Other Investments
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, other investments totaled $88.6 million and $72.8 million, respectively. As a member of the FHLB system administered by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum investment in capital stock with the FHLB consisting of membership stock and activity-based stock.

The ACL on sponsor finance loans, which is included in the categories above, represented $26.5 million and $14.5 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
12
The CECL methodology incorporates various economic scenarios. The Company utilizes three forecasts in the model: Moody’s baseline, a stronger near-term growth upside and a moderate downside forecast. The Company weights these scenarios at 40 %, 30 %, and 30 %, respectively, which added approximately $11.1 million to the ACL on loans over the baseline model at June 30, 2025. The baseline forecast incorporates an expectation that the federal funds rate will continue to fall in 2025. The Company has also recognized various risks posed by loans in certain segments, including the commercial office sector, by allocating additional reserves to those segments. Some of the key risks to the forecasts that could result in future provision for credit losses are market reactions to the Federal Reserve policy actions that could push the economy into a recession, persistently higher inflation (including the impact of tariffs), tightening in the credit markets, and further weakness in the financial system.
In addition to the CECL methodology, the Company incorporates qualitative adjustments into the ACL on loans to capture credit risks inherent within the loan portfolio that are not captured in the CECL model. Included in these risks are 1) changes in lending policies and procedures, 2) actual and expected changes in business and economic conditions, 3) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, 4) changes in lending management, 5) changes in volume and the severity of past due loans, 6) changes in the quality of the loan review system, 7) changes in the value of underlying collateral, 8) the existence and effect of concentrations of credit and 9) other factors such as the regulatory, legal and competitive environments and events such as natural disasters and pandemics. At June 30, 2025, the ACL on loans included a qualitative adjustment of approximately $40.6 million. Of this amount, approximately $19.6 million was allocated to sponsor finance loans due to their mostly unsecured nature.

Nonperforming loans were $105.8 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $42.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonperforming loans largely reflects two borrowing relationships sharing a common general partner where the entities filed bankruptcy as a result of a business dispute between partners. The loans are well secured with both collateral and strong guarantees, and as the Company expects to collect the balance of the loans, there are no individual reserves on these loans. The following tables present the recorded investment in nonperforming loans by category, excluding government guaranteed balances:

The allowance for credit losses on loans incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses on loans is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans.
An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. The effect of most modifications made to 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.
The most common concession the Company provides to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is a term extension. In limited circumstances, the Company may modify loans by providing principal forgiveness or an interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses on loans. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses on loans.
In some cases, the Company will modify a loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as an interest rate reduction or principal forgiveness, may be granted.
The following tables show the recorded investment at the end of the dates listed for loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by loan class and type of concession granted:

As of June 30, 2025, the Company allocated an immaterial amount in specific reserves to loans that have been restructured.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic factors among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
•Grades 1, 2, and 3 – Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry.
•Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
•Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
•Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating.
•Grade 7 – Special Mention credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.
•Grade 8 – Substandard credits include those borrowers characterized by significant losses and sustained downward trends in balance sheet condition, liquidity, and cash flow. Repayment reliance may have shifted to secondary sources. Collateral exposure may exist and additional reserves may be warranted.
•Grade 9 – Doubtful credits include borrowers that may show deteriorating trends that are unlikely to be corrected. Collateral values may appear insufficient for full recovery, therefore requiring a partial charge-off, or debt renegotiation with the borrower. The borrower may have declared bankruptcy or bankruptcy is likely in the near term. All doubtful rated credits will be on non-accrual.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company issues financial instruments in the normal course of its business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is not more than the contractual amount of these instruments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets.
The contractual amounts of significant off-balance-sheet financial instruments are as follows:

| Commitments to extend credit | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Letters of credit | |||||||||||

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may have significant usage restrictions, and may require payment of a fee. Of the total commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $160.2 million and $156.5 million, respectively, represent fixed rate loan commitments. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon or may be revoked, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash obligations. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and real estate. Other liabilities includes $6.5 million and $6.1 million for estimated losses attributable to the unadvanced commitments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. As of June 30, 2025, the approximate remaining terms of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years .
Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s loans and borrowings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
25
For hedges of the Company’s variable-rate loans, interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed amounts and the Company making variable rate payments. The Company has executed cash flow hedges to reduce a portion of variability in cash flows on the Company’s prime based loan portfolio. Select terms of the hedges are as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Notional | Fixed Rate | Effective Date | Maturity Date | |||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | January 25, 2023 | February 1, 2027 | |||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | December 20, 2022 | January 1, 2028 | |||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | April 1, 2025 | April 1, 2030 | |||||||||||||||||
The Company executed a prime based interest rate collar in the fourth quarter of 2022 with a notional amount of $100.0 million. The collar includes a cap of 8.14 % and a floor of 5.25 %. The collar matures on October 1, 2029. The Company also executed a 1-month SOFR based interest rate collar in the fourth quarter of 2024 with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The collar includes a cap of 4.21 % and a floor of 3.23 %. The collar matures on November 1, 2029. These transactions are commonly referred to as zero cost collars, which involves the Company selling an interest rate cap where payments will be made when the index exceeds the cap rate, and the purchase of a floor where payments will be received if the index falls below the floor.
For hedges of variable-rate liabilities, interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company has executed a series of cash flow hedges to fix the effective interest rate for payments due on $32.1 million of junior subordinated debentures to a weighted-average-fixed rate of 2.64 %.
Select terms of the hedges are as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | ||||||||||||||
| Notional | Fixed Rate | Maturity Date | ||||||||||||
| $ | % | March 15, 2026 | ||||||||||||
| $ | % | March 17, 2026 | ||||||||||||
The gain or loss on derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income or expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are paid on the Company’s variable-rate loans and debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates $0.4 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense and $0.6 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income.
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not considered speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings as a component of other noninterest income.

NOTE 11 - SUBORDINATED NOTES
NOTE 12 - OTHER BORROWINGS
Revolving Credit Line and Term Loan Option
The Company entered into a credit agreement with another bank that includes a senior unsecured revolving credit commitment (the “Revolving Commitment”) and an option for a single advance term loan draw (“Term Loan”), collectively the “Loan Agreement”. The Revolving Commitment has a one-year term that was renewed in the second quarter of 2025 and was effective as of February 22, 2025, maturing on February 21, 2026. The Revolving Commitment allows for borrowings up to $25 million, and has an interest rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 185 basis points until February 2026. The proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit line was not accessed in 2025 or 2024.
The Term Loan commitment allows the Company to take a $63.3 million unsecured draw through June 30, 2026 for the specific purpose of redeeming the 2030 Notes. If the Term Loan is advanced, it will be payable in 20 equal quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 with a final installment on the five year anniversary of the initial advance date. Upon advance, the interest rate will be one-month Term SOFR plus 250 basis points.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information and statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, and include, without limitation, statements about the Company’s plans, strategies, goals, objectives, expectations, or consequences of statements about the future performance, operations, products and services of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as statements about the Company’s expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, products and services, stockholder value creation and the impact of acquisitions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified with the use of terms such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “could,” “continue,” “intend,” and the negative and other variations of these terms and similar words and expressions, although some forward-looking statements may be expressed differently. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations, as well as credit risk, changes in the appraised valuation of real estate securing impaired loans, outcomes of litigation and other contingencies, exposure to general and local economic and market conditions, high unemployment rates, higher inflation and its impacts (including U.S. federal government measures to address higher inflation), impacts of trade and tariff policies, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, and any slowdown in global economic growth, risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates, our ability to attract and retain deposits and access to other sources of liquidity, consolidation in the banking industry, competition from banks and other financial institutions, the Company’s ability to attract and retain relationship officers and other key personnel, burdens imposed by federal and state regulation, changes in legislative or regulatory requirements, as well as current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including rules and regulations relating to bank products and financial services, changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, natural disasters (such as wildfires and earthquakes), terrorist activities, war and geopolitical matters (including the war in Israel and potential for a broader regional conflict and the war in Ukraine and the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls in connection therewith), or pandemics, and their effects on economic and business environments in which we operate, including the related disruption to the financial market and other economic activity; and other risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other reports filed with the SEC, all of which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Company’s results.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis and expectations only as of the date of such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to publicly revise or update forward-looking statements after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by federal securities law. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Readers should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the SEC which are available on the Company’s website at www.enterprisebank.com under “Investor Relations.”

Introduction
The following discussion describes the significant changes to the financial condition of the Company that have occurred during the first six months of 2025 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2024. In addition, this discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the linked first quarter of 2025 (“linked quarter”) and the results of operations, liquidity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 (“prior year-to-date period”). In light of the nature of the Company’s business, the Company’s management believes that the comparison to the linked quarter is the most relevant to understand the financial results from management’s perspective. For purposes of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is presenting a comparison to the corresponding prior year-to-date period. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s critical accounting policies are considered important to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected.
A full description of our critical accounting policies and the impact and any associated risks related to those policies on our business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with GAAP. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the valuation of loans, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, along with assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using loss experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statement in future periods. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
35
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains separate allowances for funded loans, unfunded loans, and held-to-maturity securities, collectively referred to as the ACL. The ACL is a valuation account to adjust the cost basis to the amount expected to be collected, based on management’s experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For purposes of determining the allowance for funded and unfunded loans, the portfolios are segregated into pools that share similar risk characteristics that are then further segregated by credit grades. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. The Company estimates the amount of the allowance based on loan loss experience, adjusted for current and forecasted economic conditions, including unemployment, changes in GDP, and commercial and residential real estate prices. The Company’s forecast of economic conditions uses internal and external information and considers a weighted average of a baseline, upside, and downside scenarios. Because economic conditions can change and are difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan defaults and losses, and therefore the adequacy of the allowance, could change significantly and have a direct impact on the Company’s credit costs. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $145.1 million at June 30, 2025 based on the weighting of the different economic scenarios. As a hypothetical example, if the Company had only used the upside scenario, the allowance would have decreased $28.2 million. Conversely, the allowance would have increased $43.0 million using only the downside scenario.

Financial results and other notable items include:
•PPNR1 - PPNR of $68.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $134.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.0 million and $13.6 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year-to-date periods was primarily due to an increase in net interest income from organic loan growth, continued investment in the securities portfolio and proactive management of the cost of deposits, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
•Net interest income and NIM - Net interest income of $152.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $300.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $5.2 million and $22.0 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. NIM was 4.21% for the second quarter of 2025 and 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 4.15% and 4.16% for the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. Compared to the linked and prior year-to-date periods, the increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher average loan and securities balances, as well as higher yields on the securities portfolio. Compared to the prior year-to-date period, net interest income also benefited from lower short-term interest rates that decreased deposit interest expense. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 100 basis points. In response, the Company has proactively adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.
•Noninterest income - Noninterest income of $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.1 million and $11.4 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase in noninterest income from the linked and prior year-to-date periods was primarily due to higher BOLI income and community development investment income. Compared to the prior year-to-date period, the increase was also due to a $5.1 million increase in tax credit income and a $1.6 million increase in gain on SBA loan sales.
•Noninterest expense - Noninterest expense of $105.7 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $205.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $5.9 million and $18.0 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year-to-date periods was primarily driven by higher employee compensation, variable deposit costs and higher loan and legal expenses related to loan workouts and OREO.
Balance sheet highlights:
•Loans – Total loans increased $188.5 million, or 2%, to $11.4 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $11.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Average loans totaled $11.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $10.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
•Deposits – Total deposits increased $170.9 million, to $13.3 billion at June 30, 2025 from $13.1 billion at December 31, 2024. Average deposits totaled $13.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $12.3 billion for the prior year-to-date period. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 32% of total deposits and the loan to deposit ratio was 86% at June 30, 2025, compared to 34% and 85%, respectively, at December 31, 2024.
1 PPNR is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.

•Asset quality – The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.27% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.23% at December 31, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.71% at June 30, 2025 compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2024. A provision for credit losses of $3.5 million and $8.7 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. This compares to $5.2 million and $10.6 million in the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively.
•Stockholders’ equity – Total stockholders’ equity was $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024, and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio2 was 9.42% at June 30, 2025 compared to 9.05% at December 31, 2024. The Company and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the “well-capitalized” levels at June 30, 2025.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock, payable on September 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2025. The Board also declared a cash dividend of $12.50 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (or $0.3125 per depositary share) representing a 5% per annum rate for the period commencing (and including) June 15, 2025 to (but excluding) September 15, 2025. The dividend will be payable on September 15, 2025 to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of August 29, 2025.
•Pending Branch Acquisition – On April 28, 2025, the Company announced its pending acquisition with First Interstate pursuant to which the Bank will acquire twelve branches from First Interstate, including certain deposits and loans, and the owned real estate and fixed and other assets associated with the Branches. The purchase and assumption agreement provides for the transfer by First Interstate to the Bank of the facilities and other associated assets of the Branches, approximately $705 million in deposits, and certain, mostly commercially-oriented loans with outstanding balances of approximately $300 million as of June 30, 2025. The balance of loans and deposits is subject to change until the date of acquisition. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, will expand the Company’s presence in Arizona and Kansas.

1 Change in volume multiplied by yield/rate of prior period.
2 Change in yield/rate multiplied by volume of prior period.
3 Nontaxable income is presented on a tax equivalent basis.
NOTE: The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $155.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and $305.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $5.5 million and increased $23.1 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year-to-date periods reflects organic loan growth and continued investment in the securities portfolio, partially offset by an increase in wholesale borrowings (FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposits). Net interest income for the current quarter also benefited by one additional day compared to the linked quarter. On June 1, 2025, $63.3 million of subordinated debt converted from a fixed 5.75% rate to a floating rate of three-month term SOFR plus a spread of 5.66%, resulting in higher rates incurred for one month. The subordinated debt has a quarterly call feature. The cost of interest-bearing deposits has declined due to lower short-term rates, partially offset by an increase in deposit balances. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 100 basis points. In response, the Company has proactively adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.
Compared to the linked quarter, tax equivalent interest income increased $7.5 million primarily due to an increase of $117.4 million in average loan balances and a seven basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average securities balance increased $218.1 million and the yield increased 11 basis points due to new purchases and the reinvestment of cash flows from the runoff of lower yielding investments. The average interest rate of new loan originations in the second quarter of 2025 was 7.26%, an increase of 14 basis points from the linked quarter. Investment purchases in the second quarter of 2025 had a weighted average, tax equivalent yield of 5.30%.
42
Tax equivalent interest income increased $12.5 million over the prior year-to-date period primarily due to a $354.6 million increase in average loan balances, a $642.0 million increase in average securities balances, and a 50 basis point increase in yield on securities. These increases were partially offset by a 31 basis point decline in the loan yield to 6.60%, from 6.91% in the prior year-to-date period.
Compared to the linked quarter, interest expense increased $1.9 million primarily due to higher organic growth in deposits, an increase in wholesale borrowings and the higher rate incurred on subordinated debt for one month in the quarter. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the average balance of customer repurchase agreements. The total cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, was 1.82% during the second quarter of 2025, compared to 1.83% in the linked quarter.
Interest expense decreased $10.6 million over the prior year-to-date period primarily due to a 43 basis point decline in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and a 56 basis point decline in the average cost of money market accounts, partially offset by organic growth in the deposit portfolio. The total cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, was 1.82% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.15% in the prior year-to-date period.
NIM, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.21% in the second quarter of 2025 and 4.18% for the first six months of 2025, an increase of six basis points and two basis points from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively.

Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $20.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million from the linked quarter primarily due to higher deposit service charges and other income. The increase in other income from the linked quarter was primarily driven by a $1.7 million increase in BOLI income, as well as a $0.7 million increase in community development investment income. The increase in BOLI income was primarily due to the purchase of additional policies in the first quarter 2025 and, to a lesser extent, the payout of a policy in the second quarter of 2025. Community development investment income is not a consistent source of income and fluctuates based on distributions from the underlying funds.
Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $39.1 million, an increase from the prior year-to-date period of $11.4 million. The increase was primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in tax credit income, which varies based on transaction volumes and fair value changes on credits carried at fair value, and a $5.9 million increase in other income. Other income increased compared to the prior year-to-date period primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in BOLI income and a $1.6 million increase in gain on SBA loan sales. On a periodic basis, the Company will opportunistically sell SBA guaranteed loans. The Company sold $55.7 million and $23.1 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. A gain on sale of $3.0 million and $1.4 million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Noninterest expense was $105.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $5.9 million from $99.8 million in the linked quarter. Employee compensation and benefits increased $2.0 million from the linked quarter primarily due to a full quarter of merit increases that were effective on March 1, 2025, an increase in variable compensation and the number of working days in the quarter. Deposit costs relate to certain businesses in the deposit verticals that receive an earnings credit allowance for deposit related expenses that are impacted by interest rates and average balances. Deposit costs increased $0.9 million from the linked quarter primarily due to an increase of $62.1 million in average deposit vertical balances from the linked quarter. Acquisition costs relate to the previously announced branch acquisition that is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2025. Loan and legal expenses, included in other expense, increased $1.1 million during the quarter due to loan workouts and the foreclosure of certain properties related to nonperforming loans.
Total noninterest expense of $205.5 million for the first six months of 2025 increased $18.0 million from the prior year-to-date period primarily due to an increase in the associate base, merit increases throughout 2024 and 2025, and a $6.6 million increase in deposit costs due to higher earnings credit allowances and deposit vertical average balances.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.0% for the second quarter of 2025 and 19.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This compares to the linked quarter and prior year-to-date effective tax rate of 18.1% and 20.4%, respectively. The Company continues to leverage tax credit opportunities as part of its overall tax planning strategy that contributes to a lower effective tax rate.

Loans by Type
The Company has a diversified loan portfolio, with no particular concentration of credit in any one economic sector; however, a substantial portion of the portfolio, including the C&I category, is secured by real estate. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to honor their contractual obligations is partially dependent upon the local economy and its effect on the real estate market.
The following table sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio by type of loans:
| ($ in thousands) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Increase (decrease) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total loans | $ | 11,408,840 | $ | 11,220,355 | $ | 188,485 | 2 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Loans totaled $11.4 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $11.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in C&I loans of $153.6 million and an increase of $99.3 million in CRE loans, partially offset by a decrease of $46.6 million in construction loans. Average revolving line draw utilization was 46% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 43% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table sets forth additional information on certain categories of loans that are included in total loans above at the periods indicated:

| Tax credits | 708,401 | 760,229 | (51,828) | (7) | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sponsor finance, life insurance premium financing, and tax credits lending consist primarily of C&I loans. Sponsor finance and life insurance premium financing loans are sourced through relationships developed with private equity funds and estate planning firms and are not bound geographically by our markets. These loan products offer opportunities to expand and diversify geographically by entering new markets. The Company continues to focus on originating high-quality C&I relationships, as they typically have variable interest rates and allow for cross selling opportunities involving other banking products. Life insurance premium financing and tax credits are typically lower risk products due to the high collateral value securing the loans.
SBA loans are also generated on a national basis, and primarily consist of loans collateralized by first lien, owner-occupied real estate properties. These loans predominantly have a 75% guarantee from the SBA. The Company may sell the guaranteed portion of the loan and retain servicing rights, and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the guaranteed portion of SBA loans totaling $24.4 million and $55.7 million, respectively, were sold.

The provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for losses on unfunded commitments, is a charge to earnings to maintain the ACL on loans at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company also records reversals of interest on nonaccrual loans and interest recoveries directly through the provision of credit losses.
A provision for credit losses of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $1.7 million and $1.9 million from the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to loan growth and changes in the economic forecast that influences projected future losses in the allowance calculation.

To the extent the Company does not recognize charge-offs and economic forecasts improve in future periods, the Company could recognize provision reversals. Conversely, if economic conditions and the Company’s forecast worsen and charge-offs increase, the Company could recognize elevated levels of provision for credit losses. The provision is also reflective of charge-offs (recoveries) in the period.

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025 increased $63.1 million, or 148%, when compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in nonperforming assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to seven commercial real estate loans to two commercial banking relationships in Southern California that share common managing general partners. Six loans totaling $41.7 million are personally guaranteed by one individual, and the seventh loan totaling $26.7 million is guaranteed by a separate party. Litigation resulting from a business dispute between the general/managing partner and certain limited partners has resulted in all seven of the borrowing entities filing bankruptcy, and the Company expects to collect the full balance of these loans. These commercial real estate investor-owned loans and residential real estate loans are well-secured by real estate properties with up-to-date appraisals. Loan-to-value ratios for the individual properties range from 39% to 79% based on March 2025 appraisals performed. Furthermore, all seven loans include substantial personal guarantees, and $48.6 million of the $68.4 million relationship remains on accrual despite being 90+ days past due.

Total deposits excluding brokered certificates of deposits were $12.6 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $97.0 million from December 31, 2024. Brokered certificates of deposit at June 30, 2025 increased $267.8 million from December 31, 2024 and continue to be used as a stable funding source. The Company has deposit verticals focusing on property management, community associations, and escrow industries. These deposits increased to $3.6 billion at June 30, 2025 from $3.4 billion at December 31, 2024 due to continued success at generating organic deposit growth.
To provide customers a deposit product with enhanced FDIC insurance, the Company participates in several programs through third parties that provide full FDIC insurance on deposit amounts by exchanging or reciprocating larger depository relationships with other member banks. Total reciprocal deposits were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company considers reciprocal accounts as customer-related deposits due to the customer relationship that generated the transaction.
The total cost of deposits was 1.82% for the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 1.83% and 2.15% for the linked and prior year-to-date periods, respectively.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $98.9 million from December 31, 2024. Significant activity during the first six months of 2025 was as follows:
•Increase from net income of $101.3 million,
•Increase in fair value of securities and cash flow hedges of $27.7 million,
•Decrease from dividends paid on common and preferred stock of $23.7 million, and
•Decrease from common stock repurchases of $10.6 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments as they become due. Typical demands on liquidity are changes in deposit levels, maturing time deposits which are not renewed, and fundings under credit commitments to customers. Funds are available from a number of sources, such as the core deposit base and loan and security repayments and maturities.
Liquidity is provided from lines of credit with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve, and correspondent banks; the ability to acquire large and brokered deposits, sales of the securities portfolio, and the ability to sell loans or loan participations to other banks. These alternatives are an important part of our liquidity plan and provide flexibility and efficient execution of the asset-liability management strategy.
The Company’s Asset-Liability Management Committee oversees our liquidity position, the parameters of which are approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Our liquidity position is monitored daily. Our liquidity management framework includes measurement of several key elements, such as the loan to deposit ratio, a liquidity ratio, and a dependency ratio. The Company’s liquidity framework also incorporates contingency planning to assess the nature and volatility of funding sources and to determine alternatives to these sources. While core deposits and loan and investment repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management and is achieved by strategically varying depositor types, terms, funding markets, and instruments.
52
Liquidity from assets is available primarily from cash balances and the investment portfolio. Cash and interest-bearing deposits with other banks totaled $491.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $764.2 million at December 31, 2024. Investment securities are another important tool in liquidity planning. Securities totaled $3.3 billion and $2.8 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and included $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, pledged as collateral for deposits of public institutions, loan notes and other requirements. The unpledged portion of the securities portfolio could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary.
Available on- and off-balance sheet liquidity sources include the following items:
| ($ in thousands) | June 30, 2025 | ||||
| Federal Reserve borrowing capacity | $ | 3,161,125 | |||
| FHLB borrowing capacity | 1,087,454 | ||||

| Cash and interest-bearing deposits | 491,520 | ||||
| Holding Company line of credit | 25,000 | ||||
| Total | $ | 6,558,966 | |||
The Company also has a portfolio of SBA guaranteed loans, a portion of which could be sold in the secondary market to generate earnings and liquidity. The guaranteed portion of SBA loans totaling $55.7 million and $23.1 million were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liability liquidity funding sources are available to increase financial flexibility. In addition to amounts borrowed at June 30, 2025, the Company could borrow an additional $1.1 billion from the FHLB of Des Moines under blanket loan pledges and has additional real estate loans that could be pledged. The Company also has $3.2 billion available from the Federal Reserve under a pledged loan agreement. The Company also has unsecured federal funds lines with eight correspondent banks totaling $160.0 million.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Company’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company’s liquidity. The Company has $2.9 billion in unused commitments to extend credit as of June 30, 2025. While this commitment level would exhaust the majority of the Company’s current liquidity resources, the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of funding them in the aggregate at any one time is low.
At the holding company level, our primary funding sources are dividends and payments from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises, stock offerings) and debt instruments. The main use of this liquidity is to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to stockholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, repurchase common stock and satisfy other operating requirements. The holding company maintains a revolving line of credit for an aggregate amount $25 million, all of which was available at June 30, 2025. The line of credit was renewed in the second quarter of 2025 and was effective as of February 22, 2025. The line of credit has a one-year term and the proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes.
Strong capital ratios, credit quality and core earnings are essential to retaining cost-effective access to the wholesale funding markets. Deterioration in any of these factors could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to access these funding sources and, as a result, these factors are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the liquidity management process. The Bank is subject to regulations and, among other things, may be limited in its ability to pay dividends or transfer funds to the parent company. Accordingly, consolidated cash flows as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows may not represent cash immediately available for the payment of cash dividends to the Company’s stockholders or for other cash needs.
53
Through the normal course of operations, the Company has entered into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Such obligations relate to funding operations through deposits or debt issuances, as well as leases for premises and equipment. As a financial services provider, the Company routinely enters into commitments to extend credit. While contractual obligations represent future cash requirements of the Company, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made by the Company. The Company also enters into derivative contracts under which the Company either receives cash from or pays cash to counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of these contracts changes daily as market interest rates change.
Capital Resources
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank affiliate must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banking affiliate’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1, and common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, banks must maintain minimum total risk-based (10%), Tier 1 risk-based (8%), common equity tier 1 risk-based (6.5%), and Tier 1 leverage ratios (5%). In addition, the Company must maintain an additional CCB above the regulatory minimum ratio requirements. The CCB is designed to insulate banks from periods of stress and impose constraints on dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments when capital levels fall below prescribed levels. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and exceeded the amounts required to be “well capitalized”.

The Company believes the tangible common equity ratio is an important measure of capital strength, even though it is considered a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation has been included in this section under the caption “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
54
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides additional financial measures, such as tangible common equity, adjusted ROAA, adjusted return on average common equity, ROATCE, adjusted ROATCE, ACL on loans to total loans adjusted for guaranteed loans, core efficiency ratio, PPNR, tangible book value per common share, return on average common equity and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, in this report that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company considers its tangible common equity, adjusted ROAA, adjusted return on average common equity, ROATCE, adjusted ROATCE, ACL on loans to total loans adjusted for guaranteed loans, core efficiency ratio, PPNR, tangible book value per common share, return on average common equity and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, collectively “core performance measures,” presented in this report and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures exclude certain other income and expense items, such as the FDIC special assessment, core conversion expenses, acquisition costs, the gain or loss on the sale of other real estate owned, and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, that the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to the GAAP measures. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company’s capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance and capital strength. The Company’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company’s operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the attached tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measures for the periods indicated.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements in the introduction to Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management practices are aimed at optimizing net interest income, while guarding against deterioration that could be caused by certain interest rate scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to maintain interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of both loans and investments, and interest-bearing liabilities, comprised primarily of deposits, maturing or repricing in similar time horizons in order to manage any impact from market interest rate changes according to our risk tolerances. The Company uses a simulation model to measure the sensitivity to changing rates on earnings.
58
The Company determines the sensitivity of its short-term future earnings to a hypothetical plus or minus 100 to 300 basis point parallel rate shock through the use of simulation modeling. The simulation includes the modeling of the balance sheet as an ongoing entity. Future business assumptions involving administered rate products, prepayments for future rate-sensitive balances, and the reinvestment of maturing assets and liabilities are included. These items are then modeled to project net interest income based on a hypothetical change in interest rates. The resulting net interest income for the next 12-month period is compared to the baseline amounts calculated using flat rates. The difference represents the Company’s sensitivity to a positive or negative 100 basis points parallel rate shock.
The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income at June 30, 2025:
| Rate Shock | Annual % change in net interest income | |||||||
| + 300 bp | 10.2% | |||||||
| + 200 bp | 6.9% | |||||||
| + 100 bp | 3.6% | |||||||
| - 100 bp | (3.3)% | |||||||
| - 200 bp | (6.5)% | |||||||
| - 300 bp | (9.2)% | |||||||
The Company occasionally uses interest rate derivative instruments as an asset/liability management tool to hedge mismatches in interest rate exposure indicated by the net interest income simulation described above. They are used to modify the Company’s exposures to interest rate fluctuations and provide more stable spreads between loan yields and the rate on their funding sources. At June 30, 2025, the Company had derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk, including $400.0 million in notional value on derivatives to hedge the cash flows on floating rate loans and $32.1 million in notional value on derivative on floating rate debt. Derivative financial instruments are also discussed in “Item 1. Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments.”
The Company had $6.8 billion in variable rate loans at June 30, 2025. Of these loans, $4.7 billion have an interest rate floor and nearly all of those loans were at or above the floor. Variable rate loans include $2.7 billion indexed to the prime rate, $3.3 billion indexed to SOFR, and $788.1 million indexed to other rates.
At June 30, 2025, the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $2.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. These portfolios consist primarily of fixed-rate securities that are subject to changes in market value due to changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2025, net unrealized losses were $131.1 million and $75.1 million on the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolios, respectively.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of June 30, 2025. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the objectives described above.
Changes to Internal Controls
There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, directly, indirectly, or in the aggregate that, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
For information regarding risk factors affecting the Company, please see the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements in the introduction to Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A of our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
