PCB Bancorp Q3 2026 net income rises to $12.2M
PCB Bancorp said it had not met any threshold to exercise its conditional Series C preferred-stock repurchase option as of September 30, 2026.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

10-Q
PCB Bancorp reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $12.208 million, compared with $11.412 million a year earlier; diluted earnings per share were $0.85 versus $0.78.

Other comprehensive loss was $5.894 million, compared with $1.119 million of income a year earlier.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
Positive
- Moderate pointThird-quarter net income rose to $12.208 million from $11.412 million.
Negative
- None.
Filing Explained
PCB Bancorp has a conditional option to repurchase its Series C preferred stock, but it says it currently meets none of the required thresholds, so the repurchase is not presently exercisable; the filing’s purchase-price figures are hypothetical.

CECL financial
"current expected credit losses (“CECL”) framework"
An accounting standard that requires banks and other lenders to estimate and record expected credit losses for loans and similar financial assets up front, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. It matters to investors because it changes how much a firm must set aside as a loss reserve, which directly affects reported profits, capital levels and perceived financial strength—think of it as stocking a reserve for future bad loans before the rain starts.
capital conservation buffer regulatory
"hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% above the minimum"
A capital conservation buffer is an extra layer of a bank's own money held above minimum capital rules so the bank can absorb losses and keep lending during tough times. Think of it like an emergency savings account for a bank: it lowers the chance of sudden dividend cuts, forced stock sales, or government support, and therefore affects investor views of a bank’s safety, earnings stability and valuation.
nonaccrual loans financial
"The following table presents the loans on nonaccrual status"
Nonaccrual loans are loans a lender has stopped counting toward interest income because the borrower is overdue or unlikely to pay; the lender only records cash payments received and may set aside extra funds to cover potential losses. For investors, a rising number or amount of nonaccrual loans signals weaker credit quality, lower future interest revenue and larger potential write-downs — similar to pausing expected subscription income when many customers stop paying.
collateral dependent loans financial
"Loans that have been classified as collateral dependent"
Deep Impact Lending regulatory
"qualify as “Deep Impact Lending” over any 16 consecutive quarters"

Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements reflect current views of PCB Bancorp (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” and “annualized” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including those factors identified in “Risk Factors” or “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or the following:
•business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas, including inflationary pressures and governmental and societal responses thereto and the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East;
•our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for credit loss;
•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers and the success of construction projects that we finance;
•governmental monetary and fiscal policies, and changes in market interest rates;
•the current inflationary environment and government and regulatory responses thereto;
•adverse developments at other banks, including bank failures, that impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks and may affect our customers’ behavior and our stock price;
•a significant portion of our loan portfolio that is comprised of real estate loans;
•our ability to attract and retain Korean-American customers;
•our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks, fraud and systems errors;
•our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth;
•changes in our senior management team and our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel;
•cyber-attacks, ransomware attacks, computer viruses or other malware that may breach the security of our websites or other systems to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage our systems;
•liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary;
•costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company;
•effects of competition from a wide variety of local, regional, national and other providers of financial, investment and insurance services;
•the effects of severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, health epidemics or pandemics (or expectations about them) and other external events on our business;
•the effects of sanctions, tariffs and other trade policies of the United States (“U.S.”) and its global trading partners and trade tensions related to the same;
•the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation;
3
•our ability to satisfy the lending and other conditions necessary to repurchase our Series C Preferred Stock under our Option Agreement with the U.S. Treasury and to qualify to pay a lower rate of dividends on such preferred stock; and
•changes in federal tax laws or policies.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements and the risks described under “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in “Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward looking statements in this report. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not rely on any forward looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is initially made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

PCB Bancorp is a bank holding company whose subsidiary is PCB Bank (the “Bank”), which is a single operating segment. As of September 30, 2026, the Bank operated nine full-service branches in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California, three full-service branches on the East Coast (Bayside, New York; and Englewood Cliffs and Palisades Park, New Jersey), two full-service branches in Texas (Carrollton and Dallas), and one full-service branch in Georgia (Suwanee). The Bank also has loan originators of primarily SBA loans based in the State of Washington. The Bank offers a broad range of loans, deposits, and other products and services predominantly to small and middle market businesses and individuals.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X and other SEC rules and regulations for reporting on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed by the Company with the SEC. The December 31, 2025 balance sheet presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. Other than as disclosed below, the Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subject to change and such change could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no significant accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company that were adopted or became effective.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The following recently issued accounting pronouncement applicable to the Company has not yet been adopted:
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. This ASU requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. This ASU can be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” This ASU expands the scope of the “gross-up” method, formerly applicable only to purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) assets, to include acquired non-PCD loans that meet certain criteria, now referred to as purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”). Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan’s amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit-loss expense previously required for non-PCD assets. PSLs are defined as non-PCD loans acquired either (i) through a business combination, or (ii) purchased more than 90 days after origination when the acquirer was not involved in origination. This ASU will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.” This ASU clarifies and enhances guidance under ASC 270 on interim financial reporting by (i) clarifying the scope of ASC 270 such that it now explicitly applies only to entities that issue complete interim financial statements and related notes under U.S. GAAP, (ii) establishing clear guidance on the form of interim statements and notes, incorporating a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures drawn from across the ASC, and (iii) introducing a requirement to disclose material events and changes occurring after the end of the last annual period that could impact interim results. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. Aside from complying with the new disclosure requirements, this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:
•Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
•Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Fair value is measured on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate certain assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company records securities available-for-sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held-for-sale, loans individually evaluated, servicing assets and other real estate owned (“OREO”) are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Investment securities: The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation techniques and assumptions used by the provider and determines that the provider uses widely accepted valuation techniques based on observable market inputs appropriate for the type of security being measured. Securities held-to-maturity are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Loans held-for-sale: The Company records SBA loans held-for-sale, residential property loans held-for-sale and certain non-residential real estate loans held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis. The Company obtains fair values from a third party independent valuation service provider. Loans held-for-sale accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost, on an aggregate basis, and are classified as Level 2.
Loans individually evaluated: Certain collateral-dependent loans individually evaluated are recognized at fair value when they reflect partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral. In some cases, the properties for which market quotes or appraised values have been obtained are located in areas where comparable sales data is limited, outdated, or unavailable. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent loans individually evaluated are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants, and are classified as Level 3.
Other real estate owned: The Company initially records OREO at fair value at the time of foreclosure. Thereafter, OREO is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value based on their subsequent changes in fair value. The fair value of OREO is generally based on recent real estate appraisals adjusted for estimated selling costs. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification due to the unobservable inputs used for determining fair value. Only OREO with a valuation allowance are considered to be carried at fair value.
Servicing Assets: Servicing assets represent the value associated with servicing loans that have been sold. The fair value for servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management estimation and judgment. The fair market valuation is performed on a quarterly basis for servicing assets. Servicing assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value and considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost and are classified as Level 3. See Note 5 for additional information relating to the Company’s servicing assets.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 95.2 % and 95.5 %, respectively, of the Company’s securities available-for-sale at amortized cost basis were issued by U.S. government agency and U.S. GSEs. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company determined that these securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Municipal and corporate bonds had an investment grade rating upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and various rating agencies have reaffirmed their long-term investment grade status as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates fluctuated. Additionally, the Company continues to receive contractual principal and interest payments in a timely manner. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company therefore determined that the investment securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded no

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company classifies loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans in regards to credit risk. This analysis typically includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial property and commercial and industrial loans, and is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass - Loans classified as pass include non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk ratings defined below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.
Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Collateral Dependent Loans
Loans that have been classified as collateral dependent are loans where substantially all repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of or eventual liquidation of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually for purposes of determining the ACL, which is determined based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Estimates for costs to sell are included in the determination of the ACL when liquidation of the collateral is anticipated. In cases where the loan is well secured and the estimated value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost of the loan, no ACL is recorded.

Loan Modification
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, interest rate reduction or combination of at above mentioned modifications. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the ACL. These loans are placed on nonaccrual status at the time of such modification.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have a significant amount of loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Such modifications were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. When a determination is made at the time of commitment to originate as held-for-investment, it is the Company’s intent to hold these loans to maturity or for the “foreseeable future,” subject to periodic reviews under the Company’s management evaluation processes, including asset/liability management and credit risk management. When the Company subsequently changes its intent to hold certain loans, the loans are transferred to held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value. Certain loans are transferred to held-for-sale with write-downs to ACL on loans.

Note 8 - Shareholders’ Equity
Series C, Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock
On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 69,141 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share for the capital investment of $69.1 million from the U.S. Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). The ECIP investment qualifies as tier 1 capital for the purposes of the bank regulatory capital requirements.
The Series C Preferred Stock accrued no dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate is adjusted based on the qualified lending growth criteria listed in the terms of the ECIP investment with the annual dividend rate up to 2 %. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.
Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ECIP was created to encourage low- and moderate-income community financial institutions and minority depository institutions to provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, especially low-income and underserved communities, including persistent poverty counties, that may be disproportionately impacted by the economic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing direct and indirect capital investments in low- and moderate-income community financial institutions.
The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after the fifth anniversary of issuance (or earlier in the event of loss of regulatory capital treatment), subject to the approval of the appropriate federal banking regulator and in accordance with the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital regulations.
33
On January 16, 2025, the Company entered into an ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the U.S. Treasury, which grants the Company the conditional option to repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock during the first 15 years following the Company’s issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Option Agreement provides that if the Company meets certain conditions, the Company or the Company’s qualifying designee may repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock, potentially at a substantial discount (the “Repurchase Option”). The purchase price for the Preferred Stock under the Option Agreement is based on a formula equal to the present value of the Preferred Stock, calculated as set forth in the Option Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and could represent a discount from the Series C Preferred Stock’s liquidation amount.
The purchase option may not be exercised during the first 10 years following the Company’s sale of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “ECIP Period”) unless and until the Company meets at least one of the following three conditions (the “Threshold Conditions”): (1) an average of at least 60 % of the Company’s loan originations qualify as “Deep Impact Lending” over any 16 consecutive quarters, (2) an average of at least 85 % of the Company’s total originations qualify as “Qualified Lending” over any 24 quarters or (3) the Series C Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of no more than 0.5 % at each of six consecutive “Reset Dates,” in each case as defined in the Option Agreement and the terms of the Series C Preferred. In addition to satisfying a Threshold Condition, the Option Agreement requires that the Company meet certain other eligibility conditions in order to exercise the purchase option in the future, including compliance with the terms of the original ECIP purchase agreement and the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, maintaining qualification as either a certified community development financial institution or a minority depository institution and satisfying other legal and regulatory criteria.
The earliest possible date by which a Threshold Condition may be met was June 30, 2026. However, the Company does not currently meet any of the Threshold Conditions necessary to exercise the purchase option, and there can be no assurance whether and when the Threshold Conditions will be met.
The following table presents the estimated purchase price based on the formula set forth in the Option Agreement as if the Company met all Threshold Conditions as of September 30, 2026:

The Company began paying quarterly dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock at 2 % beginning in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the dividend rate decreased to 0.50 % from the three months ended March 31, 2025. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled $86 thousand and $86 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled $259 thousand and $213 thousand, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 358,251 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $19.82 per share under a stock repurchase program first approved by the Board of Directors on August 2, 2023 authorizing the repurchase of up to 720,000 shares.

Note 9 - Share-Based Compensation
On May 25, 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Equity Based Compensation Plan (“2023 EBC Plan”) approved by its shareholders to replace the 2013 Equity Based Stock Compensation Plan. The 2023 EBC Plan provides 700,000 shares of common stock for share-based compensation awards including incentive and non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock awards. As of September 30, 2026, there were 370,250 shares available for future grants.

Note 12 - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures, Commitments and Other Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit, and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk as of the dates indicated:
September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ($ in thousands) | Fixed Rate | Variable Rate | Fixed Rate | Variable Rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unused lines of credit | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unfunded loan commitments | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Standby letters of credit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commercial letters of credit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Unfunded loan commitments are generally made for periods of 90 days or less, except for SBA loans that are generally made for periods of 180 days or less.
The Company applies an expected credit loss estimation methodology applied to each respective loan segment for determining the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The loss estimation process includes assumptions for utilization at default. These assumptions are based on the Company’s own historical internal loan data. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company maintained an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.5 million and $1.5 million in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending matters of litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
38
Note 13 - Regulatory Matters
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Under the final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks, the Company and Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% above the minimum adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios to avoid restrictions on dividends, stock repurchase, discretionary bonuses and other payments. Management believes as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The Company and the Bank’s capital conservation buffers were 7.48 % and 7.20 %, respectively, as of September 30, 2026, and 6.96 % and 6.72 %, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale is not included in computing regulatory capital. The following table presents the regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated:

The California Financial Code provides that a bank generally may not make a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the bank’s undivided profits or the bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made to the bank’s shareholders during the same period. This law limits the distributions the Bank is permitted to make to the Company. As a California corporation, the Company is subject to the limitations of the California Corporations Code, which allows a corporation to distribute cash or property to shareholders, including a dividend or repurchase or redemption of shares, if the corporation meets either a retained earnings test or a balance sheet test. Under the retained earnings test, the Company may make a distribution from retained earnings to the extent that its retained earnings exceed the sum of (a) the amount of the distribution plus (b) the amount, if any, of dividends in arrears on shares with preferential dividend rights. Under the balance sheet test, the Company may also make a distribution if, immediately after the distribution, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution. Indebtedness is not considered a liability if the terms of such indebtedness provide that payment of principal and interest thereon are to be made only if, and to the extent that, a distribution to shareholders could be made under the balance sheet test.
The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation periodically examine the Company, the Bank and their businesses, including for compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a banking agency were to determine that the Company’s or the Bank’s financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of their operations had become unsatisfactory, or that the Company or the Bank was in violation of any law or regulation, they may take a number of different remedial actions as they deem appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in the Company’s or the Bank’s capital, to restrict growth, to assess civil money penalties, to fine or remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate the Bank’s deposit insurance and place the Bank into receivership or conservatorship.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes (unaudited) thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. Within these financial statements, certain financial information contains approximate measurements of financial effects of transactions and impacts at the consolidated statements of financial condition dates and the Company’s results of operations for the reporting periods. As certain accounting policies require significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the Company has established critical accounting policies to facilitate making the judgment necessary to prepare financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements and in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company accounts for credit losses on loans, off-balance sheet credit exposures and securities available-for-sale in accordance with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” Measuring credit losses under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) framework requires a significant amount of judgment, including the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts about future conditions that may ultimately impact the level of credit losses the Company may recognize. Under the CECL framework, current expected credit losses are recorded on financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 at the time of their origination or acquisition.
Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company’s discounted cash flow methodology incorporates a probability of default and loss given default model, as well as expectations of future economic conditions, using reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The use of reasonable and supportable forecasts requires significant judgment, such as selecting forecast scenarios, as well as determining the appropriate length of the forecast horizon. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform and provide its reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Although no one economic variable can fully demonstrate the sensitivity of the ACL estimate to changes in economic variables used in the ACL model, the Company utilized changes in U.S. unemployment rate and year-over-year change in real gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth rate as its key economic variables. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts may also be considered by management when developing the forecast metrics. The Company’s ACL model reverts to long-term average loss rates for purposes of estimating expected cash flows beyond a period deemed reasonable and supportable. The Company forecasts economic conditions and expected credit losses over a one-year time horizon. Beyond the one-year forecast time horizon, the Company’s ACL model reverts to historical long-term average loss rates over a one-year period.
Within the various economic scenarios considered as of September 30, 2026, the quantitative estimate of the ACL would increase by approximately $20.2 million under sole consideration of a more adverse downside scenario. The quoted sensitivity calculation reflects the sensitivity of the modeled ACL estimate to macroeconomic forecast data, but does not necessarily reflect the nature and extent of future changes in the ACL for reasons including increases or decreases in qualitative adjustments, changes in the risk profile and size of the portfolio, changes in the severity of the macroeconomic scenario and the range of scenarios under management consideration.
A portion of the collectively evaluated ACL on loans also includes qualitative adjustments for risk factors not reflected or captured by the quantitative modeled ACL but are relevant in estimating future expected credit losses. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but are not limited to factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization-specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of ACL model data inputs.
42
Although management uses the best information reasonably available to derive estimates and assumptions necessary to measure an appropriate level of the ACL, these estimates and assumptions are subject to change in future periods, which may have a material impact on the level of the ACL and the Company’s results of operations.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated, and presented in accordance with GAAP. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies.
The following tables present a reconciliation of average tangible common equity, annualized return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratios to their most comparable GAAP measures as of the dates or for the periods indicated. These non-GAAP measures, which are presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are used by management in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
A principal component of the Company’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest earning assets less the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in the yields earned on interest earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income increased primarily due to a 4.5% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets and a 33 basis point decrease in average cost, partially offset by a 5.0% increase in average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 15 basis point decrease in average yield.
Interest and fees on loans increased primarily due to a 4.3% increase in average balance, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in average yield. The decrease in average yield was primarily due to a decrease in market rates, partially offset by increases in net accretion of discount on loans and net amortization of deferred loan fees.
Interest on investment securities increased primarily due to a 28.4% increase in average balance and a 36 basis point increase in average yield. The increase in average yield was primarily due to a higher yield on newly purchased investment securities. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the average yield on total investment securities was 4.21% and 3.85%, respectively.
Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to a 46 basis point decrease in average yield and a 5.0% decrease in average balance. The decrease in interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank was offset by an increase in dividends received on FHLB stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the average yield on total other interest-earning assets was 4.15% and 4.61%, respectively.
49
Interest expense on deposits decreased primarily due to a 32 basis point decrease in average cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a 5.1% increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in average cost was primarily due to a decrease in market rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, average cost on total interest-bearing deposits was 3.77% and 4.09%, respectively, and average cost on total deposits were 3.07% and 3.32%, respectively.
Interest expense on other borrowings decreased primarily due to a 2.6% decrease in average balance and a 60 basis point decrease in average cost.

Net interest income increased primarily due to a 5.9% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets and a 38 basis point decrease in average cost, partially offset by a 6.7% increase in average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 21 basis point decrease in average yield.
Interest and fees on loans increased primarily due to a 5.0% increase in average balance, partially offset by a 19 basis point decrease in average yield. The decrease in average yield was primarily due to decreases in market rates and net accretion of discount on loans, partially offset by an increase in net amortization of deferred loan fees.
Interest on investment securities increased primarily due to a 19.0% increase in average balance and a 21 basis point increase in average yield. The increase in average yield was primarily due to a higher yield on newly purchased investment securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the average yield on total investment securities was 4.08% and 3.87%, respectively.
Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to a 47 basis point decrease in average yield, partially offset by an 8.0% increase in average balance. The decrease in interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank was offset by an increase in dividends received on FHLB stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the average yield on total other interest-earning assets was 4.21% and 4.68%, respectively.
Interest expense on deposits decreased primarily due to a 38 basis point decrease in average cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a 6.0% increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in average cost was primarily due to a decrease in market rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, average cost on total interest-bearing deposits was 3.78% and 4.16%, respectively, and average cost on total deposits were 3.07% and 3.36%, respectively.
Interest expense on other borrowings increased primarily due to a 46.7% increase in average balance, partially offset by a 63 basis point decrease in average cost.

The fair value of total investment securities available-for-sale were $190.2 million at September 30, 2026, an increase of $30.2 million, or 18.9%, from $160.0 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to purchases of $66.9 million, partially offset by principal paydowns of $26.5 million, net premium amortization of $114 thousand, and a decrease in fair value of securities available-for-sale of $10.0 million.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 95.2% and 95.5%, respectively, of the Company's securities available-for-sale at amortized cost basis were issued by U.S. government agency and U.S. GSEs. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company determined that these securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Municipal and corporate bonds had an investment grade rating upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and various rating agencies have reaffirmed their long-term investment grade status as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates fluctuated. Additionally, the Company continues to receive contractual principal and interest payments in a timely manner. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company therefore determined that the investment securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded no ACL on securities available-for-sale.

Loans Held-For-Sale
Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. When a determination is made at the time of commitment to originate as held-for-investment, it is the Company’s intent to hold these loans to maturity or for the foreseeable future, subject to periodic reviews under the Company’s management evaluation processes, including asset/liability management and credit risk management. When the Company subsequently changes its intent to hold certain loans, the loans are transferred to held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value. Certain loans are transferred to held-for-sale with write-downs to the allowance for credit losses on loans.
Loans held-for-sale were $2.3 million at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 80.8%, from $12.1 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to sales of $63.0 million and pay-offs and pay-downs of $310 thousand, partially offset by new funding of $52.5 million and a nonaccrual loan transferred from loans held-for-investment of $1.1 million.

The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to a decrease in loans held-for-investment, partially offset by an increase in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in loans held-for-investment, as well as the increase in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment.
Qualitative adjustment factors increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to updates to risk status ratings that reflected changes in credit quality across loan segments. More specifically, the increases in nonaccrual and classified loans within the commercial property and business property loan segments were the primary contributors to the increase in the overall qualitative reserve.
Quantitatively measured expected credit loss reserve decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to improvement in the forecasted national unemployment rate. The Company utilizes the year-over-year percentage change in real GDP and the national unemployment rate based on forward-looking year-end projections published by the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”). Using these forecasted year-end rates as anchors, the Company extrapolates quarterly rates for application in its loss model, which determines probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) rates. The forecasted 2026 year-end national unemployment rate improved to 4.1% in the September 2026 FOMC meeting from 4.3% and 4.4% in the June 2026 and December 2025 FOMC meetings, respectively. The forecasted 2026 year-end year-over-year percentage change in real GDP increased to 2.3% in the September 2026 FOMC meeting from 2.2% in the June 2026 FOMC meeting, but maintained at 2.3% in the December 2025 FOMC meeting. As a result, lower PD and LGD rates were applied across most loan segments, leading to a lower overall expected loss measurement. Management believes that the projections used are reasonable and align with the Company’s expectations regarding the economic environment over the next four quarters.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $29.2 million and $53.2 million, respectively, and related reserve totaled $446 thousand and $226 thousand, respectively, at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

| ACL on loans to nonaccrual loans held-for-investment | 278.26 | % | 422.01 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The increase in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment was primarily due to a loan placed on nonaccrual status of $6.3 million, partially offset by paydowns and a loan transferred to loans held-for-sale of $1.1 million, payoffs of $703 thousand and charge-offs of $130 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower experiences changes to their financial condition, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where management believes the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. Additional income of approximately $241 thousand and $604 thousand would have been recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, had these loans been paid in accordance with their original terms throughout the periods indicated.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital
Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends paid on common stock and preferred stock, sales and redemptions of common stock and preferred stock, and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on securities available-for-sale.
Shareholders’ equity was $402.1 million at September 30, 2026, an increase of $12.1 million, or 3.1%, from $390.0 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to net income of $33.4 million, proceeds from stock option exercises of $654 thousand and share-based compensation expense of $694 thousand, partially offset by dividends declared on common stock of $9.3 million, repurchases of common stock of $5.8 million, preferred stock dividends of $259 thousand, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.2 million.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The following table presents a summary of the minimum capital adequacy requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank and the minimum capital requirements for the Bank to be considered “well-capitalized” from a regulatory perspective as of the dates indicated:

Tier 1 capital (to average assets) | 11.89 | % | 11.55 | % | 4.0 | % | 5.0 | % | ||||||||||||||||||
To avoid restrictions on dividends, share repurchases and discretionary compensation payments to executives, the federal banking agencies require a banking organization to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% in common tier 1 capital, in addition to the minimum capital ratios adequacy requirements. The capital conservation buffer increases the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7%, the minimum Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets) to 10.5% for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on dividends, share repurchases and discretionary compensation payments to executives. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital conservation buffers were 7.48% and 7.20%, respectively, as of September 30, 2026, and 6.96% and 6.72%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

Emergency Capital Investment Program
On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 69,141 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share for the capital investment of $69.1 million from the U.S. Treasury under the ECIP. The ECIP investment qualifies as tier 1 capital for the purposes of the bank regulatory capital requirements.

Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled $86 thousand and $86 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled $259 thousand and $213 thousand, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 358,251 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $19.82 per share under a stock repurchase program first approved by the Board of Directors on August 2, 2023 authorizing the repurchase of up to 720,000 shares. On July 23, 2025, the Company announced that the term of the stock repurchase program would be extended to July 31, 2026.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased and retired 219,526 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $26.51 per share. This stock repurchase program had been completed as of July 23, 2026. On September 28, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 700,000 shares of common stock through September 22, 2027. As of September 30, 2026, the Company is authorized to purchase 700,000 shares under this new stock repurchase program.

Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the measure of ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting operating cash flow and capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. The Company continuously monitors its liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of the Company’s shareholders.
The Company’s liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, federal funds sold, and unpledged securities available-for-sale. Liquid liabilities may include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market non-core deposits, additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances and Federal Reserve Discount Window, and the issuance of debt securities and preferred or common securities.
The Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in loan and investment securities portfolios, increases in debt financing and other borrowings, and increases in customer deposits.
Integral to the Company’s liquidity management is the administration of borrowings. To the extent the Company is unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, the Company seeks to meet its liquidity needs through wholesale funding or other borrowings on either a short or long-term basis.
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s liquidity position as of the dates indicated:

The Company also maintains relationships in the capital markets with brokers and dealers to issue time deposits and money market accounts.
PCB Bancorp, on a stand-alone holding company basis, must provide for its own liquidity and its main source of funding is dividends from the Bank. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short- and long-term cash obligations.

Off-Balance Credit Exposures and Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company has limited off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, commercial and similar letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company’s exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on these financial commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. The following table presents outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk as of the dates indicated:

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. Market risk occurs in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads.
Overview
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (repricing risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (basis risk).
The Company’s Board Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. Board ALCO establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the Board of Directors’ policies. In general, the Company seeks to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Board ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with the Board of Directors’ approved risk limits. The Company also has a Management ALCO, which is comprised of the senior management team and the Chief Executive Officer, to proactively monitor interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.
An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, thus expanding net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on interest-earning assets, thus compressing net interest margin.
Measurement
Interest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools, which include a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analyses under multiple interest rate scenarios. Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the Board ALCO at least quarterly. The information reported includes period-end results and identifies any policy limits exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.
The Company uses two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”), and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives. The Company uses a static balance sheet to perform these analyses. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE simulation reflects the effect of interest rate shifts on the value of the Company. In contrast to NII simulation, EVE simulation identifies risks arising from repricing or maturity gaps over the life of the balance sheet. The EVE approach provides a comparatively broader scope than the NII at Risk approach since it captures all anticipated cash flows.
Simulation results are highly dependent on input assumptions. To the extent the actual behavior is different from the assumption used in the models, there could be material changes in results. The assumptions applied in the model are documented, supported, and periodically back-tested to assess the reasonableness and effectiveness. The Company makes appropriate changes to the model as needed and these changes are reviewed by Board and Management ALCOs. The Company also continuously validates the model, methodology and results. Scenario results do not reflect strategies that the management could employ to limit the impact of changing interest rate expectations.
The model incorporates deposit repricing assumptions impacting both consumer and wholesale deposits, deposit behavior assumption related to its non-maturity deposits, and prepayment assumptions related to its loan portfolio. The model modifications incorporated observed pricing and customer behavior in both rising and falling interest rate environments. The model is updated annually and was last evaluated during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

The following table presents the projected changes in NII at Risk and EVE that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on independent analysis as of the dates indicated, but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract changes:

On September 16, 2026, the FOMC raised the Fed Funds Target Rate to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%. The vote to raise the target rate was unanimous. In the accompanying release, the Committee noted economic activity is expanding at a solid pace despite elevated uncertainty owing in part to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient. Productivity growth is strong and capital investment is robust. Job gains have kept pace with the workforce, and unemployment rate has changed little. They noted that inflation remains elevated.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s net interest income sensitivity results exhibit an asset sensitive profile. Net interest income is expected to decrease when interest rates decline, as the Company has a large proportion of variable rate loans in its loan portfolio, primarily linked to Prime Rate indices, that are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. The Company’s deposit portfolio is also sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates, even though a large portion of its deposit mix is composed of non-maturity deposits that are not directly tied to short-term interest rate indices. The modeled results are highly sensitive to reinvestment yield and deposit beta assumptions. Actual results in net interest income during a period of rising interest rates may vary from the Company’s net interest income sensitivity results, as the actual result reflects earnings asset growth and deposit mix changes based on customer preferences relative to the interest rate environment.
The Company’s EVE sensitivity reflects a slight liability sensitive profile due to the deposit mix shift away from non-maturity deposits to time deposits. The model result is highly sensitive to deposit behaviors as well as loan prepayment assumptions. Due to the uncertainty of the current economic forecast, and timing and direction of future interest rate movements, actual results may vary from the Company’s EVE sensitivity results.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2026 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) 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 have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal claims. Management has reviewed all legal claims against the Company with counsel and have taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the potential outcome of the claims in determining the accrued loss contingency. The Company had accrued loss contingencies for legal claims of $525 thousand at September 30, 2026. It is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses in addition to the amounts currently accrued. However, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate the range of additional losses that are reasonably possible because of a number of factors, including the fact that certain of these litigation matters are still in their early stages and involve claims for which, at this point, the Company believes have little to no merit. Management has considered these and other possible loss contingencies and does not expect the amounts to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A - Risk Factors
Management is not aware of any material changes to the risk factors that appeared under “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. You should carefully consider such risks and the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. The risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management or that management presently believes not to be material may also result in material and adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
