FS Bancorp (NASDAQ: FSBW) posts Q1 profit and plans $34.6M Pacific West acquisition
FS Bancorp, Inc. reported first‑quarter 2026 net income of $7.8 million, slightly below $8.0 million a year earlier, as higher credit costs offset stronger interest income. Net interest income rose to $32.5 million, supported by loan yields, while total assets were $3.20 billion and deposits $2.64 billion.
The provision for credit losses increased to $2.5 million, driven mainly by elevated net charge‑offs in indirect home improvement consumer loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans reached $32.4 million. Capital remained solid, with stockholders’ equity of $313.9 million.
On February 25, 2026, FS Bancorp announced a definitive agreement to acquire Pacific West Bancorp in a stock‑and‑cash transaction valued at approximately $34.6 million, subject to regulatory and Pacific West shareholder approvals, aiming to expand its community banking footprint.

Insights
Q1 shows stable earnings, higher credit costs, and a modest strategic acquisition.
FS Bancorp generated Q1 2026 net income of $7.8 million, with net interest income of $32.5 million as loan yields outpaced funding costs. Assets were $3.20 billion and deposits $2.64 billion, indicating a largely steady balance sheet with some deposit runoff offset by higher borrowings.
Credit quality remains generally manageable but under pressure in consumer lending. The provision for credit losses rose to $2.5 million from $1.6 million, and net charge‑offs of $2.1 million were concentrated in indirect home improvement loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $32.4 million.
The signed agreement to acquire Pacific West Bancorp in a stock and cash deal valued at about $34.6 million adds a strategic growth element. Completion depends on regulatory and Pacific West shareholder approvals, so integration timing and combined credit profiles will be clarified in subsequent disclosures and future 2026 filings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations – FS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in September 2011 as the holding company for 1st Security Bank of Washington (the “Bank” or “1st Security Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership which was completed on July 9, 2012. The Bank is a community-based savings bank with 27 full-service bank branches, a headquarters that also originates loans and accepts deposits, and loan production offices in suburban communities in the greater Puget Sound area, the Kennewick-Pasco-Richland metropolitan area of Washington, also known as the Tri-Cities, Goldendale, Vancouver, and White Salmon, Washington and Manzanita, Newport, Ontario, Tillamook, and Waldport, Oregon. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers who are predominantly small- and middle-market businesses and individuals. The Company and its subsidiary are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examination by these regulatory agencies.
Financial Statement Presentation – The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K which includes all the audited financial statements and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These matters did not have an impact on net income or earnings per share for the periods presented.
On February 25, 2026, FS Bancorp, Inc. announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement whereby the Company will acquire Pacific West Bancorp (“Pacific West”) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any other future period. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”).
Amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented to the nearest thousands of dollars except per share amounts. If the amounts are above $1.0 million, they are rounded one decimal point, and if they are above $1.0 billion, they are rounded two decimal points.
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FS Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1st Security Bank. All material intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Reporting – The Company operates in two business segments through the Bank: commercial and consumer banking and home lending. The Company’s business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, as well as the nature of the related business activities, and they reflect the way financial information is regularly reviewed for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance of the Company’s businesses. The results for these business segments are based on management’s accounting process, which assigns income statement items and assets to each responsible operating segment. This process is dynamic and is based on management’s view of the Company’s operations. See “Note 13 – Business Segments.”
Subsequent Events – The Company has evaluated events and transactions after March 31, 2026, for potential recognition or disclosure.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments incorporate into the Accounting Standards Codification certain disclosure and presentation requirements currently included in SEC regulations. Each amendment will become effective prospectively upon the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from its rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2025, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendment in this ASU amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting. The ASU intends to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The ASU is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities, with a one-year deferral for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2026
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands and clarifies acquisition‑date accounting for certain purchased loans under the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model, including the use of a gross‑up approach for specified acquired loans. Although the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, the Company early adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2026. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounting for acquired loans or related disclosures.

Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities on an individual basis. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. There were no changes in credit loss reserves during the period, as there were no changes to the credit loss model and securities balances remained relatively flat. Accrued interest receivable totaled $

The unrealized losses associated with our investment securities are believed to be caused by changing market conditions and considered to be temporary, and the Company does not intend and is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. Management monitors the published credit ratings of the issuers of the debt securities for material ratings or outlook changes. Substantially all the Company’s municipal bond portfolio is comprised of obligations of states and political subdivisions located within the Company’s geographic footprint that are monitored through quarterly or annual financial review utilizing published credit ratings. All the municipal bond securities are investment grade.
All of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities in an unrealized loss position are issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, and the available-for-sale corporate securities are all investment grade and monitored for rating or outlook changes. Based on the Company’s evaluation of these securities,
The contractual maturities of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at the dates indicated are listed below. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations; therefore, these securities are classified separately with no specific maturity date.

Most of the Company’s CRE and multi-family real estate, construction, residential, and commercial business lending activities are with customers located in Western Washington, the Oregon Coast, or near our loan production offices in Vancouver and the Tri-Cities, Washington. While the Company primarily originates real estate, consumer, and commercial business loans in these market areas, it also originates indirect home improvement loans, including solar-related home improvement loans, through a network of home improvement contractors and dealers located throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Massachusetts, Montana, and New Hampshire. Depending on underwriting guidelines, these indirect home improvement loans may be secured by collateral, with legal documentation that establishes the Company's rights to the collateral, where practicable. Local economic conditions may affect borrowers’ ability to meet the stated repayment terms.
At March 31, 2026, the Company held approximately $
The Company has defined its loan portfolio into four segments that reflect the structure of the lending function, the Company’s strategic plan and the way management monitors performance and credit quality. The four loan portfolio segments are: (a) CRE, (b) residential real estate, (c) consumer, and (d) commercial business. Each segment is further disaggregated into classes based on the risk characteristics of the borrower and/or the collateral securing the loan. The following is a summary of the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes:
CRE Loans
Multi-Family Lending. Apartment term lending (five or more units) and community reinvestment loans for low to moderate income borrowers in the Company’s footprint.
CRE Lending. Loans originated by the Company primarily secured by income-producing properties, including retail centers, warehouses, and office buildings located in our market areas.
Commercial and Speculative Construction and Development Lending. Loans originated for the construction of, and secured by, commercial real estate, one-to-four-family, and multi-family properties and tracts of land for development that are not pre-sold. Custom one-to-four-family construction loans to the intended occupant of the residence are included under residential custom construction lending described below.
Residential Real Estate Loans
One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Lending. One-to-four-family residential loans include both owner occupied properties (including second homes), and non-owner occupied properties with up to four units. These loans, which are originated by the Company or periodically purchased from other banks, are secured by first mortgages on one-to-four-family residences in our market areas and are intended to be held in the Company's portfolio (excludes loans held for sale).
Home Equity Lending. Loans originated by the Company secured by second mortgages on one-to-four-family residences, including home equity lines of credit within our market areas.
Residential Custom Construction Lending. Custom construction loans to intended occupants of one-to-four family residences.
Consumer Loans
Indirect Home Improvement. Fixture secured loans for home improvement are originated by the Company through its network of home improvement contractors and dealers. These loans are secured by the personal property installed in, on, or at the borrower’s real property, and may be perfected with a UCC‑2 financing statement filed in the county of the borrower’s residence. These indirect home improvement loans include replacement windows, siding, roofing, spas, and other home fixture installations, including solar related home improvement projects.
Marine. Loans originated by the Company, secured by boats, to borrowers primarily located in states where the Company originates consumer loans.
Other Consumer. Loans originated by the Company to consumers in our retail branch footprint, including automobiles, direct home improvement loans, loans on deposits, and other consumer loans, primarily consisting of personal lines of credit and credit cards.
Commercial Business Loans
C&I Lending. C&I loans originated by the Company to local small- and mid-sized businesses in our market area are secured primarily by accounts receivable, inventory, and personal property, plant and equipment. Some C&I loans purchased by the Company are outside of our market area. C&I loans are made based on the borrower’s ability to repay from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, C&I loans included Small Business Administration and United States Department of Agriculture guaranteed certificates of $
Warehouse Lending. Loans originated to non-depository financial institutions and secured by notes originated by the non-depository financial institution. The Company has two distinct warehouse lending divisions: commercial warehouse re-lending secured by notes on construction loans and mortgage warehouse re-lending secured by notes related to one-to-four-family loans. The Company’s commercial construction warehouse lines are secured by notes related to construction loans and typically guaranteed by principals with experience in construction lending. Mortgage warehouse lines are funded through third-party residential mortgage bankers. Under this program, the Company provides short-term funding to mortgage banking companies for the purpose of originating residential mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market.

The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable to elevated net charge-offs in the consumer loan portfolio, particularly within indirect home improvement loans.
Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company may modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty as a part of ongoing loss mitigation strategies. These modifications may result in an interest rate reduction, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a combination thereof. The Company typically does not offer principal forgiveness. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. The effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the ACL on loans because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, by class and by type of modification. The tables also present the percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty relative to the total amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable, as well as the financial effect of the modification.

Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the Company’s on-going monitoring of credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grading of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, and (v) the general economic conditions in the Company’s markets.
The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to its real estate and commercial business loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, with loans in risk grades 1 to 6 reported as “Pass” and loans in risk grades 7 to 10 reported as classified loans in the Company’s ACL analysis.
A description of the 10 risk grades is as follows:
| ● | Grades 1 and 2 - These grades include loans to very high-quality borrowers with excellent or desirable business credit. |
| ● | Grade 3 - This grade includes loans to borrowers of good business credit with moderate risk. |
| ● | Grades 4 and 5 - These grades include “Pass” grade loans to borrowers of average credit quality and risk. |
| ● | Grade 6 - This grade includes loans on management’s “Watch” list and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for “Pass” grade borrowers where frequent and thorough monitoring is required due to credit weaknesses and where significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. |
| ● | Grade 7 - This grade is for “Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”)” or “Special Mention” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines and includes borrowers where performance is poor or significantly less than expected. |
| ● | Grade 8 - This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines which represent an unacceptable business credit where a loss is possible if loan weakness is not corrected. |
| ● | Grade 9 - This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines where a loss is highly probable. |
| ● | Grade 10 - This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines for which total loss is expected and when identified are charged off. |
Homogeneous loans are risk rated based upon the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy. Loans classified under this policy at the Company are consumer loans which include indirect home improvement, solar, marine, other consumer, and one-to-four-family first and second liens. Under the Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy, loans that are current or less than 90 days past due are graded “Pass” and risk rated “4” or “5” internally. Loans that are past due more than 90 days are classified “Substandard” and risk graded “8” internally until the loan has demonstrated consistent performance, typically six months of contractual payments. Closed-end loans that are 120 days past due and open-end loans that are 180 days past due are charged off based on the value of the collateral less cost to sell. Management may choose to conservatively risk rate credits even if paying in accordance with the loan’s repayment terms.
CRE (owner occupied, non-owner occupied, commercial construction and development, and multi-family) and commercial business loans are evaluated individually for their risk classification and may be classified as “Substandard” even if current on their loan payment obligations. We regularly review our credits for accuracy of risk grades whenever we receive new information. Borrowers are generally required to submit financial information at regular intervals. Typically, commercial borrowers with lines of credit are required to submit financial information with reporting intervals ranging from monthly to annually depending on credit size, risk, and complexity. In addition, non-owner-occupied CRE borrowers with loans exceeding a certain dollar threshold are usually required to submit rent rolls or property income statements annually. We monitor construction loans monthly. We also review loans graded “Watch” or worse, regardless of loan type, no less than quarterly.
The following tables summarize risk rated loan balances and total current period gross charge-offs by category, as of the dates indicated. Term loans that were renewed or extended for periods longer than 90 days are presented as new originations in the year of the most recent renewal or extension.

Key economic assumptions of the current fair value for single family MSRs are presented in the table below.

| Decline in fair value from 20% adverse change (prepayment + discount rate) | $ | $ | ||||||
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution as the tables above demonstrate the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs which is extremely sensitive to changes in key assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on the fair value of MSRs. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effects of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may provide an incentive to refinance, however, this may also indicate a slowing economy and an increase in the unemployment rate, which reduces the number of borrowers who qualify for refinancing), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of the fair value of MSRs is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made at a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different time.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES
The Company is exposed to certain risk 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 predominant derivative and hedging activities involve interest rate swaps related to certain borrowings, brokered deposits, investment securities, forward sales contracts, and commitments to extend credit associated with mortgage banking activities. Generally, these instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as market-driven interest rates and prices or other economic factors.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
The Company regularly enters into commitments to originate and sell loans held for sale. The Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with written interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to originate one-to four-family loans that are intended to be sold and for closed one-to-four-family mortgage loans held for sale for which fair value accounting has been elected, that are awaiting sale and delivery into the secondary market. The Company economically hedges the risk of changing interest rates associated with these mortgage loan commitments by entering into forward sales contracts to sell one-to-four-family mortgage loans or into contracts to sell forward To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities. These commitments and contracts are considered derivatives but have not been designated as hedging instruments for reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP. Rather, they are accounted for as free-standing derivatives, or economic hedges, with changes in the fair value of the derivatives reported in noninterest income or noninterest expense. The Bank recognizes all derivative instruments as either “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value.
Customer Swaps Not Designated as Hedges
The Company also enters into derivative contracts, which consist of interest rate swaps, to facilitate the needs of clients desiring to manage interest rate risk. These swaps are not designated as accounting hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. To economically hedge the interest rate risk associated with offering this product, the Company simultaneously enters into derivative contracts with third parties to offset the customer contracts such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The derivative contracts are structured such that the notional amounts reduce over time to generally match the expected amortization of the underlying loans. These derivatives are not speculative and arise from a service provided to clients.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to variability in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in forecasted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based brokered deposits. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged item is the SOFR portion of a series of future adjustable-rate borrowings and deposits over the term of the interest rate swap. The Company tests for hedging effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The accumulated other comprehensive income is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. The Company has not recorded any hedge ineffectiveness since the inception of hedges.
The Company expects that approximately $
Fair Value Hedges
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its pools of prepayable fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, the SOFR. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.
The following amounts were recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative-basis adjustment for fair value hedges for the dates indicated:
| Line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the hedged item is included | Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets | ||||||

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments – The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s commitments at the dates indicated:
| COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT | March 31, | December 31, | ||||||

| Warehouse lending | ||||||||
| Total commercial business loans | ||||||||
| Total commitments to extend credit | $ | $ | ||||||
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the amount of the total commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness 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 party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements represent potential future extensions of credit to existing customers. These commitments generally do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The Company maintains an ACL – unfunded loan commitments for all arrangements that are not unconditionally cancellable, consistent with the Company's CECL methodology. The ACL on unfunded loan commitments is recorded within “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's ACL on unfunded loan commitments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $
A portion of the one-to-four-family commitments included in the table above are accounted for as fair value derivatives and do not carry an associated reserve. The Company's derivative positions are presented with the discussion in “Note 5 – Derivatives.”
The Company also sells one-to-four-family loans to the FHLB of Des Moines under agreements that require a limited level of recourse in the event of borrower default. Under the recourse structure, losses on defaulted loans are first absorbed by a first loss account (“FLA”) established by the FHLB of Des Moines, and thereafter by a credit enhancement (“CE”) obligation required of the Bank. The FLA and CE obligation function as sequential layers of credit protection for the FHLB of Des Moines on the sold loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding unpaid principal balance of loans sold to the FHLB of Des Moines was $
Contingent liabilities for loans held for sale – In the ordinary course of business, loans are sold with limited recourse against the Company and may have to subsequently be repurchased due to defects that occurred during the origination of the loan. The defects are categorized as documentation errors, underwriting errors, early payoff, early payment defaults, breach of representation or warranty, servicing errors, and/or fraud. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to its contractual terms, the investor will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred. If a defect is identified, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, the Company has no commitment to repurchase the loan. The Company has recorded a holdback reserve of $
The Company has entered into a severance agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The severance agreement, subject to certain requirements, generally includes a lump sum payment to the CEO equal to 24 months of base compensation in the event his employment is involuntarily terminated, other than for cause or the executive terminates his employment with good reason, as defined in the severance agreement.
The Company has entered into change of control agreements with its executives and select key personnel. The change of control agreements, subject to certain requirements, generally remain in effect until canceled by either party upon at least 24 months prior written notice. Under the change of control agreements, the executive generally will be entitled to a change of control payment from the Company if the executive is involuntarily terminated within six months preceding or 12 months after a change in control (as defined in the change of control agreements). In such an event, the executives would each be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to 12 months of their then current salary, subject to certain requirements in the change of control agreements.
As a result of the nature of our activities, the Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, subordination liens may create litigation which requires us to defend our lien rights. In the opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on our financial position. The Company had no material pending legal actions at March 31, 2026.
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company determines fair value based on the requirements established in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exit price, or the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions.
The following definitions describe the levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Securities – The fair value of securities available-for-sale are recorded on a recurring basis. The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities are provided by a third-party pricing service. These valuations are based on market data using pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available current trade, bid, and other market information, and for structured securities, cash flow, and loan performance data. The pricing processes utilize benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. Option adjusted spread models are also used to assess the impact of changes in interest rates and to develop prepayment scenarios (Level 2). Transfers between the fair value hierarchy are determined through the third-party service provider which, from time to time will transfer between levels based on market conditions per the related security. All models and processes used consider market convention.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – The fair value of loans held for sale reflects the value of commitments with investors and/or the relative price as delivered into a TBA mortgage-backed security (Level 2).
Loans Receivable – Certain residential mortgage loans were initially originated for sale with the fair value option elected; after origination, these loans were transferred to loans held for investment. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $
Derivative Instruments – Fair values for derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis. The primary use of derivative instruments is related to the mortgage banking activities of the Company. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-though rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. TBA mortgage-backed securities are fair valued on similar contracts in active markets (Level 2), while locks and forwards with customers and investors are fair valued using similar contracts in the market and changes in the market interest rates (Level 2 and 3). Derivative instruments not related to mortgage banking activities include interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair values of all interest rate swaps are determined from third-party pricing services without adjustment.
Collateral-Dependent Loans – Expected credit losses on collateral dependent loans are measured based on the fair value of collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Company will recognize an allowance as the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell (if applicable) at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan, any expected recovery added to the amortized cost basis is limited to the amount previously charged off. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses on collateral-dependent loans are included within the provision for credit losses, either as an additional provision or as a reduction of the provision that would otherwise be reported (Level 3).
Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value of MSRs is estimated using net present value of expected cash flows using a third-party model that incorporates assumptions used in the industry to value such rights, adjusted for factors such as weighted average prepayments speeds based on historical information where appropriate (Level 3).

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method for computing earnings per share that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Unvested share-based awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share at or for the dates indicated:

NOTE 11 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options and Restricted Stock
On May 17, 2018, the shareholders of FS Bancorp approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) that authorized
Total share-based compensation expense was $
Stock-based compensation awards are settled by issuing new shares from the Company's pool of authorized but unissued common stock, rather than previously repurchased treasury shares.
Stock Options
The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of stock option awards that may be designated as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock option awards generally vest over a one-year period for non-employee directors, and over a four-or five-year period for employees and officers with annual vesting in equal installments on the anniversary date of each grant date provided the award recipient remains in continuous service with the Company. Options become exercisable after vesting and remain exercisable for the remaining term of the original grant, subject to a maximum term of
The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes Option pricing model which incorporates the following assumptions. The dividend yield is based on the current quarterly dividend in effect at the time of the grant. The historical volatility of the Company's stock price over a specified period of time is used for the expected volatility. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the comparable U.S. Treasury rate for the discount rate associated with the stock in effect on the date of the grant. The Company elected to use Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, simplified expected term calculation for the “Share-Based Payments” method permitted by the SEC to calculate the expected term. This method uses the vesting term of an option along with the contractual term, setting the expected life at

Restricted Stock Awards
The RSA fair value is equal to the market price of FS Bancorp’s common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the restricted stock. Shares granted under the 2018 Plan generally vest over a four- or five-year period for employees and officers, beginning on the grant date, and over a one-year period for non-employee directors, with vesting occurring at the end of the one-year period. Any nonvested RSAs are forfeited upon the award recipient’s termination of service with the Company or the Bank.

NOTE 12 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines of the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Under capital adequacy guidelines of the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 total capital (as defined) and common equity Tier 1 (“CET 1”) capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined).
The Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage, and CET 1 capital ratios as set forth in the table below to be categorized as “well capitalized”. At March 31, 2026, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory requirements. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Management believes, at March 31, 2026, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements.
The following tables compare the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios to their minimum regulatory capital requirements and well capitalized regulatory capital at the dates indicated:

As a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve, the Company is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets must comply with the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations, which are generally the same as the capital regulations applicable to the Bank. The Federal Reserve has a policy requiring a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the holding company’s subsidiary bank and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.
Under Federal Reserve regulations, a bank holding company is considered a small bank holding company if its total consolidated assets are below $3.0 billion as of June 30 of a given year. The Company's total consolidated assets exceeded $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2025, and therefore, the Company did not qualify as a small bank holding company for regulatory purposes as of that reporting period. As a result, the Company is subject to all regulatory requirements applicable to larger bank holding companies, including enhanced reporting, capital, and governance standards.
NOTE 13 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is the designated chief operating decision maker, or CODM, based upon information provided about the Company's products and services offered, primarily distinguished between commercial and consumer banking and home lending. They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the CFO, who uses such information to review performance of various components of business for each branch and home lending office, which are aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and customers are similar. The CFO evaluates the financial performance of the Company's business components such as by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company's segments and in the determination of allocating resources. The CFO uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance of each segment to evaluate compensation of certain employees. Segment pretax profit or loss is used to assess the performance of the banking segment by monitoring the margin between interest revenue and interest expense. Segment pretax profit or loss is used to assess the performance of the home lending segment by monitoring the premium received on loans sales. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the commercial and consumer banking operations, and servicing fees and loan sales provide the revenues in home lending. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in commercial and consumer banking, and cost of loan sales and payroll provide the significant expenses in home lending. All operations are domestic and the Company has no major customers providing greater than 10% of total segment revenue. The Company does not have any material intra-entity sales or transfers, aside from certain allocations of interest expense and loan servicing cost from the commercial and consumer banking segment to the home lending segment.
The Company uses various management accounting methodologies to assign certain income statement items to the responsible operating segment, including:
| ● | a funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) system, which allocates interest income credits and funding charges between the segments, assigning to each segment a funding credit for its liabilities, such as deposits, and a charge to fund its assets; |
| ● | a cost per loan serviced allocation based on the number of loans being serviced on the balance sheet and the number of loans serviced for third parties; |
| ● | an allocation based upon the approximate square footage utilized by the home lending segment in Company owned locations; |
| ● | an allocation of charges for services rendered to the segments by centralized functions, such as corporate overhead, which are generally based on the number of full-time employees (“FTEs”) in each segment; and |
| ● | an allocation of the Company’s consolidated income taxes which are based on the effective tax rate applied to the segment’s pretax income or loss. |
Segment assets are primarily allocated based on loan origination channel. The home lending segment is limited to residential mortgage and home equity loans originated through the home lending platform. The home lending segment additionally includes related accrued interest receivable and the Company's MSR assets. The commercial and consumer banking segment includes the remainder of the loan portfolio, the assets of the retail branch network and administrative buildings, as well as the investment portfolio and other assets of the Bank. A description of the Company’s business segments and the products and services they provide is as follows:
Commercial and Consumer Banking Segment
The commercial and consumer banking segment provides diversified financial products and services to our commercial and consumer customers through Bank branches, online banking platforms, mobile banking apps, and telephone banking. These products and services include deposit products; residential, consumer, business and commercial real estate lending portfolios and cash management services. The Company originates consumer loans, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans for residential and multi-family construction, and commercial business loans. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s retail deposit branch network consisted of
Home Lending Segment
The home lending segment originates one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary markets as well as loans held for investment. A majority of these mortgage loans are sold to or securitized by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, or the FHLB of Des Moines, while the Company generally retains the right to service these loans. Loans originated under the guidelines of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), US Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), and United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) are generally sold servicing released to a correspondent bank or mortgage company. The Company has the option to sell loans on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis to securitizers and correspondent lenders. A small percentage of its loans are brokered to other lenders. On occasion, the Company may sell a portion of its MSRs portfolio and may sell small pools of loans initially originated to be held in the loan portfolio. The Company manages the loan funding and the interest rate risk associated with the secondary market loan sales and the retained one-to-four-family MSRs within this business segment. One-to-four-family loans originated for investment and held in this segment are allocated to the home lending segment with a corresponding provision expense and FTP for cost of funds. Noninterest expense includes allocated overhead expense from general corporate activities. Allocation is determined based on a combination of segment assets and FTEs.
Segment Financial Results
Accounting policies for segments are consistent with those described in “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment performance is evaluated using net income. Indirect expenses are allocated based on segment assets and full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”). Transactions among segments are made at fair value. Information reported internally for performance assessment by the CFO follows, inclusive of reconciliations of significant segment totals to the financial statements at or for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

As a diversified lender, the Company specializes in originating one-to-four-family residential loans, CRE mortgages, second mortgages, consumer loans, marine lending, and commercial business loans.
At March 31, 2026, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of the following major categories: CRE loans, residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans representing 37.2%, 28.8%, 21.9%, and 12.1% of the portfolio, respectively.
Indirect home improvement loans to finance window, gutter, siding replacement, solar panels, spas, and other improvement renovations represent a large segment of the consumer loan portfolio. These loans are sourced through a contractor/dealer network of 30 active fixture dealerships located throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Texas, Utah, Massachusetts, Montana, and New Hampshire. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company originated 1,181 indirect home improvement loans with an aggregate total of $26.6 million. Five contractor/dealers accounted for 71.7% of the dollar volume funded in this category, and four states – Washington, Oregon, California, and Utah – represented nearly three-quarters of total loan originations at 36.4%, 21.0%, 15.3%, and 4.7%, respectively.
The Company originates one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans through referrals from real estate agents, financial planners, builders, and existing customers with retail banking customers also serving as an important source of loan originations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company originated $204.9 million of one-to-four-family loans (including loans held for sale, loans held for investment, and fixed seconds). In addition, $3.1 million of loans were brokered to other institutions through the home lending segment. Of the loans originated, $154.7 million were sold to investors, of which $73.6 million were sold to the FNMA and FHLMC with servicing rights retained to further develop these customer relationships.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, one-to-four-family loan originations and refinancing activity increased compared to the prior period, driven by changes in interest rates and economic conditions. Residential construction and development lending, while less common than other origination options, remains an important element of the total loan portfolio. The Company continues to take a disciplined approach concentrating its efforts on loans to builders and developers in its known market areas. These short-term loans typically carry a maturity of six to 18 months, with disbursements not fully realized at origination, resulting in a short-term reduction in net loans receivable.
The Company is affected by prevailing economic conditions, as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, including brokered deposits, borrowings, payments on loans, and income provided from operations.
The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent upon net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on these loans and investments. Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on these deposits and borrowings.
The Company’s earnings are also affected by fee income from mortgage banking activities, the provision for (reversal of) credit losses, service charges and fees, gains from sales of assets, operating expenses and income taxes.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Assets. Total assets remained virtually unchanged at $3.20 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The most significant changes between these periods were a $17.7 million decrease in securities available-for-sale, a $12.6 million increase in loans held for sale, a $10.5 million increase in total cash and cash equivalents, and a $919,000 increase in loans receivable, net. Asset growth was primarily funded by brokered deposits.
Loans receivable, net, was $2.62 billion at both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
● Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans increased $17.4 million, primarily reflecting:
○ $6.2 million in CRE owner occupied loans,
○ $5.5 million in CRE non-owner occupied loans,
○ $4.5 million in commercial and speculative construction and development loans, and
○ $1.2 million in multi-family loans.
● Residential real estate loans increased $4.2 million, driven by:
○ $2.2 million in one-to-four-family loans (excluding loans held for sale),
○ $1.8 million in residential custom construction loans, and
○ $197,000 in home equity loans.
● Total undisbursed construction and development loan commitments decreased $16.9 million to $218.5 million at March 31, 2026, from $235.4 million at December 31, 2025.
● Commercial business loans decreased $6.7 million, reflecting a decrease of $10.0 million in warehouse lending, partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans.
● Consumer loans decreased $13.5 million, primarily due to declines of $12.4 million in indirect home improvement loans and $989,000 in marine loans.
Overall, loan growth was concentrated in CRE, including owner occupied, non-owner occupied, and construction and development loans, and to a lesser extent, multi-family and residential real estate segments. Consumer balances declined, driven primarily by a reduction in indirect home improvement loans, reflecting the impact of current economic conditions on consumer demand.
Loans held for sale, consisting of one-to-four-family loans, increased $12.6 million to $56.3 million at March 31, 2026, from $43.7 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting higher origination volume driven by increased refinance activity resulting from improved mortgage rates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, one-to-four-family loan originations and refinancing activity increased significantly compared to the prior period, driven by improved mortgage rates which resulted in a 175% increase in refinance volume. Purchase originations also increased $18.9 million. or 15.7%, reflecting continued demand in the Company's market areas.
Originations of one-to-four-family loans for the periods indicated were as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold $154.7 million of one-to-four-family loans, compared to $91.9 million for the same period one year ago. The increase in loan sales reflects improved mortgage rates which is also driving higher refinance activity. The Company remains focused on managing loan production capacity and maintaining a pipeline consistent with market demand. Gross margin on home loan sales was 3.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The compression in gross margin reflects competitive pricing pressures in the current mortgage market environment as the Company maintained production volume consistent with market demand. Gross margin is defined as the margin on loans sold without the impact of deferred loan costs.
Liabilities. Total liabilities were $2.89 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio was approximately 102.9% at March 31, 2026, compared to approximately 100.9% at December 31, 2025.
Total deposits decreased $36.1 million to $2.64 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.67 billion at December 31, 2025, reflecting decreases in all deposit categories other than escrow accounts. Transactional accounts (noninterest-bearing checking, interest-bearing checking and escrow accounts) decreased $13.7 million to $980.0 million at March 31, 2026, from $993.6 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases of $12.4 million in noninterest-bearing checking, and $9.2 million in interest-bearing checking, partially offset by an $8.0 million increase in escrow accounts related to mortgages serviced, reflecting higher customer balances and increased activity in mortgage servicing. Money market and savings accounts decreased $2.5 million to $547.1 million at March 31, 2026, from $549.7 million at December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting a decline in money market balances, partially offset by an increase in retail and business savings accounts.
CDs, which include both retail and non-retail CDs, decreased $19.8 million to $1.11 billion at March 31, 2026, from $1.13 billion at December 31, 2025. Retail CDs decreased $5.0 million to $916.7 million at March 31, 2026, from $921.7 million at December 31, 2025. Non-retail CDs, which include brokered CDs, online CDs and public funds CDs decreased $14.9 million to $193.8 million, compared to $208.7 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $15.3 million in brokered CDs. Non-retail CDs represented 17.5% and 18.5% of total CDs at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in non-retail CDs aligns with the Company's strategy to manage interest rate risk and liquidity by accessing larger and more diversified funding sources at competitive rates that were only slightly higher than local market rates, while reducing reliance on higher cost borrowings.

The Bank had uninsured deposits of approximately $704.2 million or 26.7% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $718.1 million or 26.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.
Borrowings increased $38.0 million to $167.3 million at March 31, 2026, from $129.3 million at December 31, 2025. The increase reflects competitive rates on borrowings, compared to brokered deposits, consistent with the Company's funding strategy. At March 31, 2026, borrowings were comprised of FHLB and FRB advances.
Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $6.2 million to $313.9 million at March 31, 2026, from $307.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects net income of $7.8 million. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) were largely offset by improvements in the fair value of interest rate swap cash flow hedges, resulting in a net improvement of $83,000, net of tax. Gains and losses in fair value reflect changes in market interest rates during the periods. The increase in shareholders’ equity was partially offset by cash dividends paid totaling $2.2 million, and share repurchases of $620,000.
Book value per common share was $42.42 at March 31, 2026, compared to $41.55 at December 31, 2025. The calculation of book value per share at March 31, 2026, was based on 7,398,571 common shares, derived by subtracting the 102,971 unvested restricted stock shares from the 7,501,542 reported common shares outstanding as of that date. Similarly, the book value per share at December 31, 2025, was calculated based on 7,404,548 common shares, after deducting 102,971 unvested restricted stock shares from the 7,507,519 reported common shares outstanding as of that date.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
General. Net income was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $937,000, or 58.9%, increase in provision for credit losses, a $627,000, or 43.5%, increase in provision for income taxes, and a $465,000, or 1.9%, increase in total noninterest expense, partially offset by a $1.6 million, or 5.0%, increase in net interest income, and a $275,000, or 5.4%, increase in total noninterest income.

| (4) | Includes income from fair value hedges of $164,000 and $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. |
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.6 million to $32.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $31.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $2.5 million, partially offset by an increase in total interest expense of $982,000. The increase in total interest income was primarily due to an increase of $2.7 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, driven primarily by a five-basis point increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable as new loans were originated at higher rates and variable-rate loans repriced higher, and a higher average balance of loans outstanding. The increase in total interest expense was primarily the result of a $1.7 million increase in deposit interest expense, reflecting significantly higher average balances in interest-bearing checking accounts, including brokered deposits, and a 108 basis point increase in the rate paid on those accounts. Additionally, the repricing of the Company's subordinated notes to a floating rate on February 15, 2026, contributed $206,000 of incremental interest expense. These increases were partially offset by an $879,000 decrease in borrowing costs, as the Company reduced average borrowings by $86.4 million in accordance with its funding and liquidity strategy.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) (annualized) decreased one basis point to 4.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 4.32% for the same period the prior year. The change in NIM primarily reflects the repricing of the Company's subordinated notes to a floating rate on February 15, 2026, which resulted in an estimated two-basis point decline in NIM for the quarter, and higher funding costs associated with growth in interest-bearing checking balances, including brokered deposits. These effects were largely offset by a five-basis point improvement in average loan yields and a modest decline in CD rates.
Interest Income. Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $2.5 million to $49.3 million, from $46.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, as a result of higher average loan balances and a five-basis point increase in average loan yields. Offsetting this growth were decreases in interest income on investment securities and FHLB stock, collectively totaling $190,000, reflecting yield compression on taxable investment securities from 4.34% to 3.99% and lower average FHLB stock balances.

Total interest expense increased $982,000 to $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $15.8 million for the comparable quarter in 2025, primarily due to an increase of interest expense on deposits of $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease of $879,000 of interest expense on borrowings. The higher deposit costs were the result of an increase in interest-bearing checking balances, including brokered deposits, combined with a 108-basis point increase in the rate paid on those accounts, partially offset by a $332,000 decrease in interest expense on CDs due to a 19-basis point decline in CD rates. Additionally, the repricing of the Company's subordinated notes to a floating rate on February 15, 2026, contributed $206,000 of incremental interest expense.
The average cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased three-basis points to 2.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting lower rates paid on certificates of deposit, which more than offset higher rates on interest-bearing checking accounts. The average balance of total interest-bearing deposits increased $243.6 million to $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.77 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven primarily by an increase in interest-bearing checking balances, including brokered deposits.
The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities similarly decreased four basis points to 3.11%, reflecting the benefit of lower borrowing costs as average borrowings declined $86.4 million. The average cost of funds, which includes noninterest-bearing checking, increased one basis point to 2.39%, primarily reflecting a lower proportion of noninterest-bearing deposits in the overall funding mix.
The following table details average balances of interest-bearing liabilities, associated rates, and resulting change in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Provision for Credit Losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for credit losses was $2.5 million, consisting of a $2.6 million provision for credit losses on loans and a $121,000 recovery of credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. This compares to a $1.6 million provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025. which consisted of a $1.5 million provision for credit losses on loans, a $21,000 provision for credit losses on held‑to‑maturity securities, and a $66,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans primarily reflects an increase in nonperforming loans and higher net charge‑offs.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $624,000 increase in indirect home improvement loan net charge-offs, partially offset by a $281,000 decrease in commercial business loan net charge-offs, with the remainder attributable to slightly higher net charge-offs in marine and consumer loans. The rise in indirect home improvement and consumer loan net charge-offs reflects continued credit stress in those portfolios amid a challenging economic environment that could result in a material increase in the ACL on loans and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $275,000 to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects a $684,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $246,000 decrease in other noninterest income, and a $171,000 decrease in service charges and fee income.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $465,000 to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $465,000 increase was primarily due to the following increases: $334,000 in loan costs, due to higher origination activity, $321,000 in salaries and benefits, primarily due to competitive wage adjustments; $295,000 in acquisition cost related to the previously announced merger with Pacific West Bancorp; and $159,000 in occupancy expense related to branch renovations. These increases were partially offset by a $451,000 decrease in data processing expenses attributable to executed contract negotiations with the Company's data processing vendors, and a $172,000 decrease in professional and board fees.
The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total net interest income and noninterest income, improved to 67.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 69.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to revenue growth outpacing noninterest expense.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective corporate income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were 20.9% and 15.2%, respectively. The increase in both the provision and effective tax rate was primarily attributable the absence of alternative energy tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which benefited the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Liquidity
Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit runoff that may occur in the normal course of business. The Company relies on several different sources to meet potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts, FHLB borrowings, purchases of federal funds, sale of securities available-for-sale, cash flows from loan payments, sales of one-to-four-family loans held for sale, and maturing securities. While the maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund its operations. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2026, the Bank’s total borrowing capacity was $737.7 million with the FHLB of Des Moines, with unused borrowing capacity of $588.1 million. The FHLB borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily real estate loans that qualify as collateral for FHLB borrowings. At March 31, 2026, the Bank held approximately $1.12 billion in loans that qualify as collateral for FHLB borrowings.
In addition to the availability of liquidity from the FHLB of Des Moines, the Bank maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with a limit of $273.3 million and a combined credit limit of $101.0 million in written federal funds lines of credit through correspondent banking relationships at March 31, 2026. The FRB borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily consumer loans that qualify as collateral for FRB line of credit. At March 31, 2026, the Bank held approximately $567.1 million in loans that qualify as collateral for the FRB line of credit. There were no outstanding borrowings with the FRB or correspondent banks as of both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.
The Bank’s Asset and Liability Management Policy permits management to utilize brokered deposits up to 20% of deposits or $529.4 million at March 31, 2026. Total brokered deposits at March 31, 2026 were $327.4 million. Management utilizes brokered deposits to mitigate interest rate risk and to enhance liquidity when appropriate.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer-term basis, a strategy is maintained of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and U.S. agency securities. The Company uses sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits, fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At March 31, 2026, outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit totaled $621.6 million. The Company purchased $6.2 million in securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company purchased $15.0 million in securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Proceeds from securities repayments, maturities and sales were $22.0 million and $6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Bank’s liquidity is also affected by the volume of loans sold and loan principal payments. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Bank sold $154.7 million and $91.9 million in loans, respectively.
Total deposits decreased $36.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially driven by a net decrease in brokered deposits of $35.1 million. CDs scheduled to mature in three months or less at March 31, 2026, totaled $487.1 million. It is management’s policy to offer deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this strategy, management believes that a majority of maturing relationship deposits will remain with the Bank.
For the remainder of 2026, we project that fixed commitments will include $2.0 million of operating lease payments. For information regarding our operating leases, see “Note 6 – Leases” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. FHLB borrowings of $90.8 million are scheduled to mature within the next twelve months.
As a separate legal entity from the Bank, FS Bancorp, Inc. must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses, FS Bancorp is responsible for paying for any stock repurchases, dividends declared to its stockholders, interest and principal on outstanding debt, and other general corporate expenses. Sources of capital and liquidity for FS Bancorp include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities, although there are regulatory restrictions that limit the Bank’s ability to make such distributions.
Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory notice and certain restrictions. Unrestricted cash held by FS Bancorp at the Bank on an unconsolidated basis totaled $9.2 million at March 31, 2026. The Company currently expects to continue paying quarterly cash dividends on common stock subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. The current quarterly common stock dividend rate is $0.29 per share, which we believe balances our objectives of managing and investing in the Bank and returning a substantial portion of cash to shareholders. Assuming continued payment during 2026 at this rate of $0.29 per share, our total dividends paid each quarter would be approximately $2.2 million based on the number of the current outstanding shares as of March 31, 2026.
Under FS Bancorp’s existing stock repurchase program, approximately $3.3 million remained available for future repurchases as of March 31, 2026. See “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” in Item 2, Part II of this Form 10-Q for additional information relating to stock repurchases.
Capital Resources
The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Based on its capital levels at March 31, 2026, the Bank exceeded these requirements as of that date. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain a well-capitalized status under the capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2026, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized”. At March 31, 2026, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tier 1 leverage-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.2%, 12.6%, 13.8%, and 12.6%, respectively.
As a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve, FS Bancorp is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in total assets are required to comply with the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations, which are generally consistent with the capital regulations applicable to the Bank. Under these regulations, the Federal Reserve expects the holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary bank and expects the subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under prompt corrective action regulations.
FS Bancorp is subject to these regulatory capital guidelines as of March 31, 2026, and has exceeded all applicable minimum capital requirements. The regulatory capital ratios calculated for FS Bancorp at March 31, 2026 were as follows: Tier 1 leverage-based capital ratio, 9.9%; Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, 11.2%; total risk-based capital ratio, 13.8%; and CET 1 capital ratio, 11.2%. For additional information regarding regulatory capital compliance and regulatory minimums, see “Note 12 – Regulatory Capital” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the market risk disclosures contained in FS Bancorp’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) of the Exchange Act was carried out as of March 31, 2026, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based upon the foregoing evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to FS Bancorp management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

____________________________
On October 27, 2025, the Company publicly announced a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of Company common stock, in addition to any amounts remaining under the prior program. Repurchases under this program may occur from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by withholding shares upon the exercise of equity awards, over a 12-month period ending October 27, 2026.
The actual timing, price, and number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.
