net interest margin financial

"The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.48% for the first quarter of 2026"

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

allowance for credit losses financial

"At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses was $44.0 million."

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

nonperforming assets financial

"Total nonperforming assets ... as a percentage of total assets was 0.25% as of March 31, 2026"

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

operating pre-provision net revenue financial

"Operating pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) earnings"

efficiency ratio financial

"Efficiency ratio is the quotient of operating noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income"

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

KNOXVILLE, TN – April 20, 2026 - SmartFinancial, Inc. ("SmartFinancial" or the "Company"; NYSE: SMBK), today announced net income of $13.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $11.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025, and compared to prior quarter net income of $13.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share.

●

Net organic loan and lease growth of $155 million with 14% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase

Nashville expansion with Director of Private Banking and Wealth Management and additional commercial banker hires

Billy Carroll, President & CEO, stated: "As anticipated, 2026 began with strong momentum due to the robust business pipeline established prior to year end and the diligent work of our associates in securing new business. Quarterly net balance loan growth of $155 million while core deposits increased by $95 million, surpassing initial forecasts. Deposit growth was particularly notable, especially after accounting for a projected $68 million seasonal withdrawal from a significant client relationship. Operating earnings per share were solid at $0.81, supported by an expansion of over 10 basis points in net interest margin quarter-over-quarter and disciplined expense management. Additionally, we maintained our quarter-over-quarter earnings per share despite a higher provision associated with a change in our ACL model, which we expect to normalize next quarter. Overall, this represents an excellent start to the year, made possible by the dedicated efforts of our over 580 associates. Thank you all for your continued commitment and positivity!”

SmartFinancial's Chairman, Miller Welborn, concluded: “The Board is grateful to all our associates for delivering a strong start to 2026, which is a reflection of the team’s hard work and dedication. We appreciate the energy our teams are bringing, not only to our strategic initiatives, but also to the many operational and efficiency-enhancing projects underway. We truly value these contributions and are excited about the benefits these efforts will deliver for our Company and our stakeholders. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategic direction and focused on executing our priorities to build on this momentum through the remainder of 2026.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $45.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $45.1 million for the prior quarter. Average earning assets totaled $5.39 billion, an increase of $47.1 million from the prior quarter. The balances of average earnings assets increased quarter-over-quarter, primarily from an increase in average loans and leases of $138.7 million and average securities of $5.7 million, offset by a decrease in average federal funds sold and other earning assets of $97.3 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $66.9 million from the prior quarter, primarily attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $66.8 million.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.48% for the first quarter of 2026, up from 3.38% for the prior quarter. This increase is primarily related to declines in deposit costs, outpacing a modest decrease in asset yields. The yield on loans and leases, excluding loan fees, FTE was 5.93% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 6.00% for the prior quarter.

¹ Non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information and see the Non-GAAP Reconciliations.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.72% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 2.90% in the prior quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 2.60% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 2.79% for the prior quarter, a decrease of 19 basis points.

Balance Sheet Trends

Total assets at March 31, 2026, were $5.91 billion compared to $5.86 billion at December 31, 2025. The $46.9 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in loans and leases of $154.8 million, securities of $11.0 million, premises and equipment of $5.0 million, and bank owned life insurance of $913 thousand, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $118.3 million, loans held for sale of $3.6 million and an increase in provision of credit losses of $3.0 million.

Total liabilities were $5.35 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $5.31 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $37.2 million. Total deposits increased $43.4 million, which was driven primarily by increases in money market deposits of $182.3 million, other time deposits of $16.1 million, and interest-bearing demand deposits of $8.6 million, offset by a decline in noninterest demand deposits of $111.6 million and brokered deposits of $51.9 million. In addition, other liabilities decreased by $6.0 million.

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2026, totaled $562.1 million, an increase of $9.7 million, from December 31, 2025.

Tangible book value per common share¹ was $27.33 at March 31, 2026, compared to $26.85 at December 31, 2025.

Operating earnings, operating PPNR earnings, operating noninterest income and operating noninterest expense exclude non-operating related income and expense items from net income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively. Tangible common equity and average tangible common equity exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders' equity and average shareholders' equity, respectively. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets. Operating efficiency ratio is the quotient of operating noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income adjusted for taxable equivalent yields plus operating noninterest income. A detailed reconciliation of these items and the ratios derived therefrom is available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations.

Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management also believes these Non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors and Company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. SmartFinancial disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. DISCLOSURES 2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statements included in this presentation include measures not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered Non-GAAP financial measures (“Non-GAAP”) and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. SmartFinancial management uses several Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios derived therefrom in its analysis of SmartFinancial's performance, including: Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data contained in this presentation is as of 3/31/26 Operating earnings, operating revenue, operating PPNR earnings, operating noninterest income and operating noninterest expense exclude non-operating related income and expense items from net income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively. Operating efficiency ratio is the quotient of operating noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income adjusted for taxable equivalent yields plus operating noninterest income. Tangible common equity and average tangible common equity excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders' equity and average shareholders' equity, respectively. Tangible common equity (excluding AOCI) excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and accumulated other comprehensive income. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share (excluding AOCI) is tangible common equity (excluding AOCI) divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets. A detailed reconciliation of these items and the ratios derived therefrom is available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations. Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management also believes these Non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors and company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

These estimates of changes in SmartFinancial’s net interest income require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rate, deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Although our analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates and will differ from actual results $2.0 Billion Fixed Rate Loans $2.6 Billion Variable Rate Loans • $1.9 Billion Short-Term Variable Rate (Resetting within 1 - 3 Months) • $655 Million Long-Term Variable Rate (Resets > 3 Months) $ in Millions, unless otherwise indicated $ in Thousands, unless otherwise indicated
