FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In addition, First US Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), through its senior management, from time to time makes forward-looking statements concerning its expected future operations, performance and other developments. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “continues” and similar expressions are indicative of forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based on current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements and cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements are identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and forward-looking statements contained herein or in other public statements of the Company or its senior management should be considered in light of those factors. Such factors may include adverse developments in the financial services industry; loan losses may be greater than anticipated; our ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy current and future financial obligations; the increased lending risks associated with commercial real estate lending; potential weakness in the residential real estate market; liquidity risks; the impact of national and local market conditions on the Company’s business and operations; the rate of growth (or lack thereof) in the economy generally and in the Company’s service areas; the effects of significant changes to the structure and operations of the federal government; strong competition in the banking industry; the impact of changes in interest rates and monetary policy on the Company’s performance and financial condition; the effects of fiscal challenges facing the U.S. government or any potential government shutdown; effects of changes in the policies of monetary authorities and other government action; the impact of technological changes in the banking and financial service industries and potential information system failures; cybersecurity and data privacy threats; the risks and challenges presented by the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”); risks of dependence on outside third parties for the processing and handling of our records and data; the costs of complying with extensive governmental regulation; the risk that internal controls and procedures might fail or be circumvented; the impact of changing accounting standards and tax laws on the Company’s financial results; the potential impact of climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives; the possibility that acquisitions may not produce anticipated results and result in unforeseen integration difficulties; the volatility of our stock price and our dependence on the soundness of other financial institutions; and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s public filings, including, but not limited to, the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Relative to the Company’s dividend policy, the payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be determined in light of then-current conditions, including the Company’s earnings, leverage, operations, financial conditions, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. In the future, the Board of Directors may change the Company’s dividend policy, including the frequency or amount of any dividend, in light of then-existing conditions.

FIRST US BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
First US Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), is a bank holding company formed in 1983 registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancshares operates one wholly owned banking subsidiary, First US Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (the “Bank”). Bancshares and the Bank are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Bank provides a wide range of commercial banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. The Bank also performs indirect lending through third-party retailers and currently conducts this lending in
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Company's 2025 Form 10-K").
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and the notes to the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or net cash flow.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Certain significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding ("basic shares"). Included in basic shares are stock equivalent shares that have been accrued as of the balance sheet date as deferred compensation for members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors under the Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (as defined below and discussed further in Note 9). Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period ("dilutive shares"). The dilutive shares consist of unexercised nonqualified stock options granted to employees and members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors pursuant to the Company's Incentive Plan (as defined below and discussed further in Note 10).

The following table reflects the weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income, as well as unrealized holding gains and losses that arise during the period associated with the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio and the effective portion of cash flow hedge derivatives. In the calculation of comprehensive income, reclassification adjustments are made for gains or losses realized in the statement of operations associated with the sale of available-for-sale securities or settlement of derivative contracts.

ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements |
This ASU amends certain hedge accounting guidance to improve operability and better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments include revisions to the similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, which may allow entities to broaden the scope of forecasted transactions designated in a hedge relationship, and clarify certain documentation and application requirements. |
Quarterly financial statements as of and for the quarter ending March 31, 2026. Annual financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. |
The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact. |

|
|
ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans |
This ASU expands the use of the gross‑up method to certain acquired non‑purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans classified as purchased seasoned loans. The amendment eliminates Day 1 credit loss expense for these loans by requiring recognition of an initial allowance with a corresponding gross‑up of amortized cost. It also clarifies the criteria for identifying purchased seasoned loans, including special treatment for loans acquired in a business combination. Guidance for PCD assets remains unchanged, and the amendments narrow subsequent measurement differences between purchased seasoned loans and PCD assets. The ASU is applied prospectively. |

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities generally mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

Available-for-Sale Credit Considerations
For any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position as of the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more-likely-than-not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income.
As of March 31, 2026,
Held-to-Maturity Credit Considerations
Each quarter, management evaluates the held-to-maturity investment portfolio on a collective basis by major security type to determine whether an ACL is needed. Qualitative factors are used in the Company’s credit loss assessments, including current and forecasted economic conditions, the characteristics of the debt issuer, and the historic ability of the issuer to make contractual principal and interest payments. Specifically, with regard to mortgage-backed securities or obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies thereof, it is expected that the securities will not be settled at prices less than the amortized cost bases of the securities as such securities are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or the agency. With regard to obligations of states and political subdivisions, management considers issuer bond ratings, historical loss rates for given bond ratings, and whether the issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under contractual terms of the securities. Based on these evaluations,

Portfolio Segments
The Company has divided the loan portfolio into the following portfolio segments based on risk characteristics:
Construction, land development and other land loans – Commercial construction, land and land development loans include loans for the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property, loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land and loans primarily for agricultural production that are secured by farmland. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.
Secured by 1-4 family residential properties – These loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home or investment property. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home.
Secured by multi-family residential properties – This portfolio segment includes mortgage loans secured by apartment buildings.
Secured by non-residential commercial real estate – This portfolio segment includes real estate loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers or other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.
14
Commercial and industrial loans and leases – This portfolio segment includes loans and leases to commercial customers for use in the normal course of business. These credits may be loans, lines of credit and leases to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment or receivables, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.
Direct consumer – This portfolio segment includes a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including automobile loans, loans for household and personal purposes and all other direct consumer installment loans.
Indirect consumer – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral purchased by consumers at retail stores with whom the Company has an established relationship to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met. The collateral securing these loans primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles/campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers.

Related Party Loans
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers and directors of the Company, including companies with which they are associated. These loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. Management believes that such loans do not represent more than a normal risk of collectability, nor do they present other unfavorable features. The aggregate balances of such related party loans and commitments were $
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases
The Company records the ACL on loans and leases as a contra-asset valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans and leases held for investment. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Recoveries of previously charged off loans are also recorded to the ACL when collected. As of each quarter-end date, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the ACL on loans and leases and adjusts the ACL through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.

Determining the appropriateness of the ACL on loans and leases is complex and requires judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The level of the ACL is influenced by loan and lease volumes and mix, historical credit loss experience, estimated remaining life of portfolio segments, asset quality characteristics, delinquency status, and other conditions including reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions and qualitative adjustment factors based on management’s understanding of various attributes that could impact life-of-loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The methodology to estimate losses includes two basic components: (1) an asset-specific component for individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated on an individual basis. The process for determining whether a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis begins with a determination of credit rating. All loans graded by management as substandard or worse with a total commitment of $
For estimating the component of the ACL that shares similar risk characteristics, loans are segregated into pooled loan categories that share risk characteristics. Loans are designated into pooled categories based on product types, business lines, collateral, and other risk characteristics. For all pooled loan categories, the Company uses a loss-rate methodology to calculate estimated life-of-loan and lease credit losses. This methodology focuses on historical credit loss rates applied over the estimated weighted average remaining life of each loan pool, adjusted by qualitative factors, to estimate life-of-loan losses for each pool. The qualitative factors utilized include, among others, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic data, including inflation, unemployment levels, and interest rates.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Lending Commitments
The Company records an ACL on unfunded lending commitments in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Unconditional lending commitments generally include unfunded term loan agreements, home equity lines of credit, lines of credit, and demand deposit account overdraft protection.
As of each quarter-end date, the Company estimates expected credit losses on unfunded lending commitments over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on unfunded lending commitments is recorded in other liabilities, and adjustments to the ACL are recorded through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.
Summary of Allowances for Credit Losses
The following tables present changes in the ACL on loans and leases, as well as unfunded lending commitments, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company utilizes a credit grading system that provides a uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio. Under this system, construction, land, multi-family real estate, other commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans are graded based on pre-determined risk metrics and categorized into one of nine risk grades. These risk grades can be summarized into categories described as pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as described in further detail below.
Because residential real estate and consumer loans are more uniform in nature, each loan is categorized into one of two risk grades, depending on whether the loan is considered to be performing or nonperforming. Performing loans are loans that are paying principal and interest in accordance with a contractual agreement. Nonperforming loans are loans that have demonstrated characteristics that indicate a probability of loss.

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
From time to time, the Company may modify the terms of loan agreements with borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulties. Modification of the terms of such loans typically include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and there were no payment defaults on loans that were modified in the previous twelve months.

FHLB Advances
The Company may use FHLB advances with original maturities of more than one year as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than one year are classified as long-term. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did

Supplemental Retirement Benefits
The Company has entered into supplemental retirement compensation benefits agreements with certain non-employee directors and former executive officers. These agreements are structured as nonqualified retirement plans for federal income tax purposes.

Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan
Non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or any portion of their director fees under Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash and/or shares of Bancshares’ common stock, as applicable. Neither Bancshares nor the Bank makes any contribution to participants’ accounts under the Deferral Plan. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of
In 2013, Bancshares’ shareholders authorized the Company to provide share-based compensation awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. Available award types included stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and performance share awards. The 2013 Incentive Plan, as amended in 2019, expired in March 2023. In April 2023, Bancshares’ shareholders approved the 2023 Incentive Plan, which authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant substantially the same types of share-based awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants. Collectively, the 2013 Incentive Plan and the 2023 Incentive Plan are herein referred to as the Company’s “Incentive Plan.” In accordance with the Incentive Plan, shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the grants may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. Since the origination of the Incentive Plan, through March 31, 2026, only stock options and restricted stock have been granted. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards totaled $

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposures to 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 amounts, sources, and duration of assets and liabilities. The
29
Company uses interest rate derivative instruments to minimize unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy generally involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to mitigate negative impacts on net interest margin and/or cash flow. Interest rate derivative instruments utilized by the Company generally include interest rate swap contracts or option contracts, such as caps and floors. The fair values of derivative instruments are carried in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes and generally enters into transactions that have a qualifying hedge relationship. When hedge accounting is used, derivatives are classified as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges in order to mitigate economic risks or risks associated with volatility in connection with customer derivative transactions. The Company’s existing credit derivatives are associated with loan participation arrangements, and are not used by the Company to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities.
Like other financial instruments, derivatives contain an element of credit risk. This risk is measured as the expected replacement value of the contracts. Management enters into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that provide for the net settlement of all contracts with the same counterparty. Additionally, management monitors counterparty credit risk exposure on each contract to determine appropriate limits on the Company's total credit exposure across all product types.

Credit
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and others, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount that it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit or standby performance letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the lives of the standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the potential amounts of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under its standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit, which represent the Bank’s total credit risk in these categories, are included in the table above.
32
A commitment to extend credit is an agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
At each quarter end date, the Company calculates an allowance for unfunded lending commitments, including those described in the table above. The Company's allowance for unfunded commitments totaled $
Self-Insurance
The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of employee health benefits. However, the Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit the Company’s individual claim and total exposure related to self-insurance. The Company estimates a liability for the ultimate costs to settle known claims, as well as claims incurred but not yet reported, as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s recorded estimated liability for self-insurance is based on the insurance companies' incurred loss estimates and management’s judgment, including assumptions and evaluation of factors related to the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims development history and the Company’s claims settlement practices. The assessment of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of self-insurance accruals. Self-insurance accruals totaled $
Litigation
The Company is party to certain ordinary course litigation, and intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
33
The Company follows a uniform framework for estimating and classifying the fair value of financial instruments. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. The following disclosures should not be considered a representation of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather represent a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
The Company rarely transfers assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Trading account assets and securities available-for-sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the best method of pricing for an individual security. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occurred at the beginning of a reporting period. There were
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available-for-Sale
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities. Level 2 securities include government sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. Level 2 fair values are obtained from quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. In certain cases, where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
Derivative Agreements
Derivative agreements include those used by the Company to mitigate risk associated with changes in interest rates, as well as credit derivatives associated with risk participation agreements in certain loans. The fair value of these agreements is based on information obtained from third-party financial institutions. This information is periodically evaluated by the Company and, as necessary, corroborated against other third-party valuations. The Company classifies these derivative assets within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-recurring Basis
Collateral Dependent Loans
Loans are considered collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These loans are evaluated separately in accordance with the Company’s policies for calculating the ACL on loans and leases. The fair value of collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the ACL on loans and leases is typically based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation
35
approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Appraised values are discounted by management for estimated costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s knowledge of the collateral, changes in market conditions since the most recent appraisal and/or management’s knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge of the borrower’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted accordingly.
OREO and Other Assets Held-for-Sale
OREO consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is recorded at net realizable value, less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, included within OREO were certain assets that were formerly included as premises and equipment but have been removed from service, and as of the balance sheet date, were designated as assets to be disposed of by sale. These include assets associated with branches of the Company that have been closed. When an asset is designated as held-for-sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset, and the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically unobservable inputs for determining fair value.
The following table presents the balances of collateral dependent loans, OREO and other assets held-for-sale measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Collateral Dependent Loans
Collateral dependent loans are valued based on multiple data points indicating the fair value for each loan. The primary data point is the appraisal value of the underlying collateral, to which a discount is applied. Management establishes this discount or comparability adjustment
37
based on recent sales of similar property types. As liquidity in the market increases or decreases, the comparability adjustment and the resulting asset valuation are impacted.
OREO
OREO under a binding contract for sale is valued based on contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the consolidated balance sheet.
Other Assets Held-for-Sale
Assets designated as held-for-sale that are under a binding contract are valued based on the contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the consolidated balance sheet.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements: Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements all contain maturities of
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Based on the redemption provision of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.
Investment securities: Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on market prices of comparable instruments.
Derivative instruments: The fair value of derivative instruments is based on information obtained from a third-party financial institution. This information is periodically evaluated by the Company and, as necessary, corroborated against other third-party information.
Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.
Loans, net: The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flow, prepayment discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premiums.
Demand and savings deposits: The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts.
Time deposits: The fair values of relatively short-term time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Discounted cash flows are used to value long-term time deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term.
Short-term borrowings: These borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the floating rate borrowings from the FHLB account. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, fair values approximate carrying values.
Long-term debt: The fair value of this debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the determination date.
Off-balance sheet instruments: The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on fees currently charged to enter into such agreements.
38
The estimated net fair value and related carrying or notional amounts, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
First US Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), is a bank holding company formed in 1983 registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancshares operates one wholly owned banking subsidiary, First US Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (the “Bank”). Bancshares and the Bank are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Bank conducts a general commercial banking business and offers banking services such as demand, savings, individual retirement account and time deposits, personal and commercial loans, safe deposit box services and remote deposit capture. The Bank operates and serves its customers through 15 full-service banking offices located in Birmingham, Butler, Calera, Centreville, Gilbertown, Grove Hill, Harpersville, Jackson, Thomasville, Tuscaloosa and Woodstock, Alabama; Knoxville and Powell, Tennessee; and Rose Hill, Virginia; as well as loan production offices in Mobile, Alabama and the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. The Bank provides a wide range of commercial banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. The Bank also performs indirect lending through third-party retailers and currently conducts this lending in 17 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Bank is the Company’s only reportable operating segment upon which management makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Delivery of the best possible financial services to customers remains an overall operational focus of the Company. The Company recognizes that attention to detail and responsiveness to customers’ desires are critical to customer satisfaction. The Company continues to upgrade technology, both in its financial services and in the training of its 153 full-time equivalent employees (as of March 31, 2026), to ensure customer satisfaction and convenience.
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments associated with critical accounting estimates. These estimates are necessary to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and general banking practices. A description of the Company's critical accounting estimates, which significantly affect the determination of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, is set forth in Part II, Item 7 - Critical Accounting Estimates in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K.
The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2026 to December 31, 2025, while comparing income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are recorded and presented on the accrual basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis, unless otherwise indicated.
This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K. As used in the following discussion, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Bancshares and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
RECENT MARKET CONDITIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the banking industry continued to operate in an environment characterized by economic uncertainty, influenced by moderating, but still resilient, U.S. economic growth, inflation levels remaining above the Federal Reserve’s long-term objective, and a labor market that has shown signs of gradual softening. While U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth moderated from levels experienced during the middle of 2025, economic activity remained positive entering 2026, supported by consumer spending and business investment, though at a slower pace.
During the first quarter of 2026, financial markets were significantly impacted by the onset of military conflict involving Iran beginning in late February 2026. The conflict, including disruptions to energy markets and shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, contributed to increased volatility across global financial markets and renewed upward pressure on inflation expectations. Oil prices increased sharply during the quarter, and global supply chain disruptions intensified, contributing to heightened economic uncertainty and raising concerns regarding the potential for slower economic growth or recessionary conditions should the conflict persist.
Market interest rates, including U.S. Treasury yields, exhibited increased volatility during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. While Treasury yields generally declined during the latter part of 2025 as markets anticipated monetary policy easing, yields moved higher during portions of the first quarter of 2026 in response to rising inflation expectations and geopolitical uncertainty associated with the Iran conflict. For example, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased meaningfully following the onset of the conflict, reaching levels above those observed at year-end 2025, before experiencing periods of fluctuation as market sentiment shifted. The combination of moderating economic growth, inflation above target levels, geopolitical instability, and evolving expectations for monetary policy continues to create a challenging environment in which to predict future interest rate movements.
41
Uncertainty remains elevated with respect to U.S. fiscal and trade policy, including the ongoing and potential impacts of tariffs implemented by the Trump administration and the possibility of additional policy changes. Geopolitical risks, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran as well as continued unrest in the Middle East and Ukraine, persist and contribute to broader global economic uncertainty. These factors may continue to impact business sentiment, energy markets, supply chains, and overall economic activity.
In the Company’s local markets, competitive pressures for both loans and deposits have remained elevated during the first quarter of 2026. Competition for deposits continues to constrain the Company’s ability to significantly reduce funding costs despite the decline in market interest rates relative to peak levels in 2025. Commercial lending activity has remained measured as business customers continue to evaluate the potential impact of interest rate movements, geopolitical developments, and broader economic uncertainty on their operations. Consumer spending trends have remained mixed on a macroeconomic basis; however, the Company has continued to experience growth in consumer indirect lending, primarily within higher credit quality segments.
The competitive environment, combined with ongoing economic, geopolitical, and policy uncertainty, continues to present a challenging operating environment for maintaining and improving the Company’s net interest margin. Management continues to closely monitor these conditions and believes the Company remains well positioned to respond to a range of economic outcomes; however, adverse changes in economic conditions, credit quality, competitive dynamics, geopolitical developments, or interest rate movements could negatively impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Company earned net income of $1.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Comparing the two periods, the increase in net income resulted primarily from increased interest income associated with growth in earning assets, as well as from a decrease in the Company’s provision for credit losses on loans and leases.
Summarized condensed consolidated statements of operations are included below for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The discussion that follows summarizes the most significant activity that drove changes in the Company’s operating results during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income increased by $0.3 million, or 3.6%, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted from growth in average interest-earning asset balances comparing the two periods. Average interest-earning assets increased by $86.3 million, or 8.4%, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the corresponding period of 2025. Earning asset growth was reflected in total loans, investment securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions. The increase in interest income was partially offset by both volume and rate-related increases in interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities. While the increase in earning assets was favorable to the Company’s net interest income, net interest margin decreased as the average yield on interest-earnings assets declined at a faster pace than the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin was 3.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
42
Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in provisioning comparing the two periods was primarily associated with a reduction in loan growth during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, including the impact of the Company’s reserve for unfunded lending commitments. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans was 1.25%.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income remained relatively consistent, totaling $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase comparing the 2026 period to the 2025 period resulted from increases in a number of expense categories, primarily fees for professional services, occupancy, and salaries and benefits expense.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s assets totaled $1,165.2 million, compared to $1,154.8 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 0.9%.
Loans
Total loans decreased by $9.3 million, or 1.1%, as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, as growth in the multi-family residential real estate and indirect categories was offset by decreases primarily in the construction, non-residential commercial real estate and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) categories. The decrease in construction is consistent with the ebb and flow of projects in the Company's service territories. Construction loans are generally short-to-medium term loans that are expected to pay off or transfer to another loan category upon project completion. The decrease in non-residential commercial real estate was related to completed construction projects that moved into a permanent category, but were subsequently refinanced into the permanent market. The growth in the indirect category accelerated in the latter part of the first quarter of 2026, consistent with typical seasonal trends. The indirect lending platform focuses on consumer lending at the higher end of the credit spectrum. Collateral financed in the indirect portfolio primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles, campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers. The weighted average credit score of new indirect loans financed during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 797, while the weighted average credit score for the entire portfolio was 783. While total loans decreased during the first quarter of 2026, average loan balances remained higher comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025, increasing by $26.7 million, or 3.2%.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, including loans in non-accrual status and other real estate owned, totaled $1.8 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase from $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets increased to 0.16% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 0.14% as of December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans totaled 0.23% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 0.13% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net charge-offs comparing the two periods was due primarily to an increase in charge-offs associated with the indirect consumer portfolio.
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $10.9 million, or 1.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, due primarily to an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $28.4 million, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $12.8 million decrease in time deposits. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more and all wholesale brokered deposits, totaled $853.8 million, or 82.2% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $838.3 million, or 81.6% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. The average rate on deposits totaled 2.18% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.07% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In the current environment, significant competitive pressure remains to acquire and maintain deposit balances.
43
Cash and Investment Securities
As of March 31, 2026, the Company held cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements totaling $85.4 million, or 7.3% of total assets, compared to $78.4 million, or 6.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. Investment securities, including both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios, totaled $181.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $168.5 million as of December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company purchased $20.5 million of investment securities at market rates in existence at the time of purchase. These purchases, combined with the maturity and paydown of investment securities at lower rates, led to continued improvement in yield on the portfolio. The yield on investment securities, including both available-for-sale and held to maturity securities, totaled 3.89% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.44% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.8 years compared to 3.7 years as of December 31, 2025.
Shareholders’ Equity
As of March 31, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $104.6 million, or 9.0% of total assets, compared to $105.6 million, or 9.1% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. While earnings, net of dividends paid, increased shareholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the increase was fully offset by share repurchases, combined with an increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the increasing interest rate environment during the period.
Cash Dividends
During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.07 per share on its common stock.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the repurchase of 146,500 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.03 per share. The repurchases were completed under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program, which was expanded during the fourth quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, 1,638,313 shares remained available for repurchase under the program.
Regulatory Capital
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable banking regulations. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 10.85%. Its total capital ratio was 11.99%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.85%.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company continued to maintain funding capacity sufficient to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong core deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines with other banking institutions, FHLB advances, the FRB's discount window, and brokered deposits.
Banking Center Growth
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company neared completion on renovation of a banking center office in Daphne, Alabama that was purchased from another financial institution. This location will serve as the Bank’s initial deposit gathering facility in the Daphne/Mobile area, and is expected to open to the public during the second quarter of 2026.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is calculated as the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net interest income. The Company’s earning assets consist of loans, investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, federal funds sold by the Bank, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and interest-bearing deposits in banks. Interest-bearing liabilities consist of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and time deposits, as well as short- and long-term borrowings.

The following tables show the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, the tables provide an analysis of interest revenue or expense associated with each category, along with the accompanying yield or rate percentage. Net interest margin is calculated for each period presented as net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Interest income increased by $0.9 million, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest income resulted from a $1.0 increase attributable to growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease attributable to lower average yields on interest-earning assets. With the exception of investment securities, yields in all earning asset categories declined comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025 as short-term interest rates generally declined comparing the two periods.
Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from increases in both the average balance and rates paid on money market and time deposits. These increases were partially offset by reductions in both average balances and rates associated with demand deposits and borrowings.
The Company’s net interest income and net interest margin during the three months ended March 31, 2026 continued to be impacted by variability in the interest rate environment. Notably, between September and December 2025, the federal funds rate was reduced by 75 basis points, and generally, the Company’s interest-earning assets have repriced downward more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, reducing the Company’s net interest margin to 3.37% during the three months ended March 31 2026, compared to 3.53% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. While management is continuing efforts to improve net interest margin, the results of these efforts cannot be fully predicted. Should market interest rates increase or decrease at significant levels, particularly over a short period of time, the Company’s net interest margin and net interest income could be negatively impacted.

Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in provisioning comparing the two periods was primarily associated with a reduction in loan growth during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, including the impact of the Company’s reserve for unfunded lending commitments. Net charge-offs totaled $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases was 1.25%. While we believe that the methodologies and calculations that have been used in the determination of the ACL are adequate, the determination of the appropriateness of the ACL is complex and requires judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Factors beyond our control, such as changes in economic forecasts related to the national economy, changes in consumer behavior, or economic deterioration in service areas in which the Company operates, may negatively and materially affect asset quality and the adequacy of the ACL, as well as the resulting provision for credit losses.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income represents fees and income derived from sources other than interest-earning assets. The following table presents the major components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

The Company’s non-interest income remained relatively consistent, totaling $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management continues to evaluate opportunities to add non-interest revenue streams and grow existing streams; however, significant variation in non-interest income is not expected in the near term.

Non-interest expense totaled $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase comparing the 2026 period to the 2025 period resulted from increases in a number of expense categories, primarily fees for professional services, occupancy, and salaries and benefits expense.
47
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.9% and 23.8%, respectively, for the same periods.
The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as changes in tax-exempt interest income earned from bank-qualified municipal bonds and loans and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Management makes decisions about whether to invest in tax-exempt instruments on a case-by-case basis after considering a number of factors, including investment return, credit quality and the consistency of such investments with the Company’s overall strategy. The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate commensurate with the level of these investments as compared to total pre-tax income.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio is used by management to provide liquidity, to generate interest income and for use as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding. Risk and return can be adjusted by altering the duration, composition and/or balance of the portfolio. The expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.8 years and 3.7 years as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2026, available-for-sale securities totaled $181.1 million, or 99.8% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $168.1 million, or 99.7% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2025. Available-for-sale securities consisted of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, and obligations of state and political subdivisions.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and represent securities that the Company both intends and has the ability to hold to maturity. As of March 31, 2026, held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.4 million, or 0.2% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $0.5 million, or 0.3% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2025. Held-to-maturity securities consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, and obligations of state and political subdivisions.
Net unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio totaled $2.1 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in unrealized losses in the portfolio resulted from changes in the interest rate environment, in particular, increases in market rates, particularly in the mid- to long-term part of the Treasury curve between December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026. Net unrealized losses within the available-for-sale portfolio were recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company evaluated both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios for credit losses and concluded that no credit losses were included in either portfolio and that the unrealized losses in both portfolios resulted from the prevailing interest rate environment.
48
Loans and Leases
The Company’s total loan portfolio decreased by $9.3 million, or 1.1%, as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The tables below summarize loan balances by portfolio category, as well as the ACL, as of the end of each of the most recent five quarters as of March 31, 2026:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Lending Commitments
The Company records an ACL on unfunded lending commitments in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable. Unconditional lending commitments generally include unfunded term loan agreements, home equity lines of credit, lines of credit, and demand deposit account overdraft protection. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments, which is recorded in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.3 million, compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans in the three prior full years were as follows: 0.14% (2024), 0.14% (2023), 0.16% (2022).
Deposits
Total deposits increased to $1,038.8 million as of March 31, 2026, from $1,028.0 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 1.1%. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $28.4 million, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $12.8 million decrease in time deposits. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more and all brokered deposits, provide a relatively stable funding source that supports earning assets. Core deposits totaled $853.8 million, or 82.2% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $838.3 million, or 81.6% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025.
Core deposits have historically been the Company’s primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to successfully meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that core deposits will continue to be the Company’s primary source of funding in the future. Management will continue to monitor deposit levels closely to help ensure an adequate level of funding for the Company’s activities. However, various economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source in the future, including increased competition from other financial institutions in deposit gathering, national and local economic conditions and interest rate policies adopted by the FRB and other central banks.

Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities
Other interest-bearing liabilities that are used by the Company as an alternative source of funds consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and subordinated debt. As of March 31, 2026, other interest-bearing liabilities totaled 3.5% of total interest-bearing liabilities, compared to 2.5% as of December 31, 2025.
Shareholders’ Equity
As of March 31, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $104.6 million, or 9.0% of total assets, compared to $105.6 million, or 9.1% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. While earnings, net of dividends paid, increased shareholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the increase was fully offset by share repurchases, combined with an increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the increasing interest rate environment during the period. During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.07 per share on its common stock.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the repurchase of 146,500 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.03 per share. The repurchases were completed under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, 1,638,313 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 40,000 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $13.38 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily from the following sources: (1) excess cash and interest-bearing deposits in banks, (2) federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, (3) principal payments and maturities of loans and (4) principal payments and maturities from the investment portfolio. Loans maturing or repricing in one year or less amounted to $277.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and $274.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice in one year or less were estimated to be $28.5 million and $27.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Although some securities in the investment portfolio have final maturities exceeding 10 years, a substantial percentage of the portfolio provides monthly principal and interest payments and consists of securities that are readily marketable and easily convertible into cash on short notice. The investment securities portfolio had an estimated average life of 3.8 years and 3.7 years as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. However, management does not rely solely upon the investment portfolio to generate cash flows to fund loans, capital expenditures, dividends, debt repayment and other cash requirements. These activities are also funded by cash flows from loan payments, as well as increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, which represent the Company’s primary sources of funds. In addition, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term and long-term borrowings are additional sources of available liquidity. Liquidity management involves the continual monitoring of the sources and uses of funds to maintain an acceptable cash position. Long-term liquidity management focuses on considerations related to the total balance sheet structure. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance.
The Company had no outstanding borrowings under FHLB advances as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company's use of FHLB advances varies depending on fluctuations in deposits and other funding sources, as well as their use in interest rate hedging strategies. The Company had up to $326.5 million and $324.1 million in remaining unused credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral, which may include eligible investment securities and loans) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company also has access to the FRB’s discount window. The discount window allows borrowing on pledged collateral that includes eligible investment securities and loans. The Company maintains pledges of its consumer indirect loan portfolio and selected investment securities with the FRB as collateral to provide immediate access to funding through the discount window. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the Company had $212.1 and $210.9 million, respectively, in unused borrowing capacity with the FRB’s discount window. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank had no outstanding federal funds purchased from the FRB's discount window.
In addition to collateralized funding sources through the FHLB and FRB, the Company had $48.0 million in unused established unsecured lines of credit with banks as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
On October 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that will mature on October 1, 2031. Net of unamortized debt issuance costs, the subordinated notes were recorded as long-term borrowings totaling $11.0 million and $10.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The table calculates readily available liquidity by combining cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and unencumbered investment security values on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with off-balance sheet liquidity that is readily available through unused collateral pledged to the FHLB and FRB, as well as unsecured lines of credit with other banks. Liquidity from pledgable investment securities and total readily available liquidity are non-GAAP measures used by management and regulators to analyze a portion of the Company's liquidity. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's liquidity position.
Pledgable investment securities are considered by management as a readily available source of liquidity since the Company has the ability to pledge the securities with the FHLB or FRB to obtain immediate funding. Both available-for-sale and held-for-maturity securities may be pledged at fair value with the FHLB and through the FRB discount window. The amounts shown as liquidity from pledgable investment securities represent total investment securities as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, less reductions for securities already pledged and discounts expected to be taken by the lender to determine collateral value. The unused lendable collateral value at the FHLB presented in the table represents only the amount immediately available to the Company from loans already pledged by the Company to the FHLB as of each consolidated balance sheet date presented.
Excluding wholesale brokered deposits, as of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately 27 thousand deposit accounts with an average balance of approximately $33 thousand per account. Estimated uninsured deposits (calculated as deposit amounts per deposit holder in excess of $250 thousand, the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance, and excluding deposits secured by pledged assets) totaled $231.0 million, or 22.1% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, estimated uninsured deposits totaled $216.8 million, or 22.2% of total deposits. Management believes the Company’s on-balance sheet and other readily available liquidity sources as presented in the table above provide strong indicators of the Company’s ability to fund obligations in a stressed liquidity environment, particularly when considered relative to the Company’ uninsured deposit levels. Furthermore, in addition to the liquidity sources noted in the table above, the Company has access to additional sources of liquidity that generally could be obtained over a period of time. For example, the Company has access to unsecured brokered deposits through the wholesale funding markets.
Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to cover its contractual obligations and commitments over the next twelve months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary purpose of managing interest rate risk is to invest capital effectively and preserve the value created by the Company’s core banking business. This is accomplished through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize net interest income performance under varying interest rate environments, subject to liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines. Effective interest rate sensitivity management ensures that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable timeframe, thereby minimizing the effect of such interest rate movements on short- and long-term net interest margin and net interest income.
Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by the Asset/Liability Committee of the Bank’s board of directors to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of scenarios, management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact on net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. In these simulations, assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of the Company’s balance sheet resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior. Simulation models also incorporate management’s assumptions regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates paid on deposits and charged on loans. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.
Assessing Short-Term Interest Rate Risk – Net Interest Margin Simulation
On a quarterly basis, management simulates how changes in short- and long-term interest rates will impact future profitability, as reflected by changes in the Bank’s net interest margin and net interest income. The tables below depict how, as of March 31, 2026, pre-tax net interest margin and net interest income are forecasted to change over timeframes of one year and two years under the six listed interest rate scenarios. The interest rate scenarios contemplate immediate and parallel shifts in short- and long-term interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Bancshares maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Bancshares’ management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Bancshares’ management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, Bancshares’ management concluded, as of March 31, 2026, that Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
