**Introductory Note**

<u>Presentation of Results - HomeStreet Bank Merger</u>

On September 2, 2025, we completed the Merger of HomeStreet Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as "HomeStreet, Inc.") with and into Mechanics Bank, with Mechanics Bank as the surviving bank. Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer ("legal acquiree"), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp is the legal acquirer. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our financial results for all periods ended prior to September 2, 2025 reflect Mechanics Bank's results on a standalone basis. In addition, our reported financial results reflect Mechanics Bank's financial results on a standalone basis until the closing of the Merger on September 2, 2025 and results of the combined company beginning September 2, 2025. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Mechanics Bancorp have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger as of September 2, 2025 at their acquisition date fair values. The estimates of fair value were recorded based on initial valuations at the Merger date. These estimates are considered preliminary as of March 31, 2026, are subject to change for up to one year after the Merger date, and any changes could be material.

Unless we state otherwise or the content otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "Mechanics," "we," "our," "us" or the "Company" refer collectively to Mechanics Bancorp, Mechanics Bank (the "Bank") and other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Mechanics Bancorp, following completion of the Merger. In some instances, we refer to Mechanics Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy Mechanics Bank," HomeStreet Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet Bank," and HomeStreet, Inc. prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet, Inc."

**Mechanics Bancorp and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**NOTE 1–SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**<u>Nature of Operations</u>**: Mechanics Bancorp, a Washington corporation (the "Company"), is a financial holding company and primarily operates through 121-year-old Mechanics Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Mechanics Bank is a full-service community bank with 166 branches throughout California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. Following the strategic Merger of HomeStreet Bank with and into Mechanics Bank on September 2, 2025, with Mechanics Bank surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the assets, liabilities and operations of HomeStreet Bank became the assets, liabilities and operations of Mechanics Bank. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Mechanics Bank provides a wide range of products and services in consumer and business banking, commercial lending, cash management services, private banking, and comprehensive wealth management and trust services.

Prior to merging with and into Mechanics Bank on September 2, 2025, HomeStreet Bank was principally engaged in commercial banking, consumer banking, and real estate lending, including construction and permanent loans on commercial real estate and single-family residences. It also sold insurance products for consumer clients. It provided these financial products and services to its customers through bank branches, loan production offices and ATMs, and through online, mobile and telephone banking channels.

The Company's business is conducted primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mechanics Bank and HomeStreet Statutory Trusts (I, II, III and IV), as well as Mechanics Bank's subsidiaries: MacDonald Auxiliary Corporation, Mechanics Real Estate Holdings Inc., 3190 Klose Way, LLC, Hydrox Properties XXVI, LLC, Continental Escrow Company, HS Properties Inc., HS Evergreen Corporate Center LLC, Union Street Holdings LLC, and 16389 Redmond Way LLC.

Ceasing the origination of auto loans in February 2023, Mechanics Bank continued to service its existing auto loan portfolio until May 1, 2025, when it entered into a servicing agreement with a third-party servicer to oversee and manage Mechanics Bank's active portfolio of auto loans. The portfolio consisted of new and pre-owned retail automobile sales contracts purchased from both franchised and independent automobile dealerships in the United States.

**<u>Basis of Presentation</u>**: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the financial services industry.

The Merger is considered a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40, "Business Combinations-Reverse Acquisitions." Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer ("legal acquiree"), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp, formerly HomeStreet, Inc., is the legal acquirer. Mechanics Bancorp's financial results for all periods ended prior to September 2, 2025 reflect legacy Mechanics Bank's results only on a standalone basis. In addition, Mechanics Bancorp's reported financial results reflect legacy Mechanics Bank's financial results only on a standalone basis until the closing of the Merger on September 2, 2025 and results of the combined company beginning September 2, 2025. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Mechanics Bancorp have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger as of September 2, 2025 at their acquisition date fair values. Refer to Note 2, "Business Combination," for additional information on the transaction.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's prior year net income or shareholders' equity.

These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in these accompanying notes to the financial statements. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in the interim financial statements, as permitted under GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction

------

with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**<u>Use of Estimates</u>**: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Other significant estimates that may be subject to change include fair value determinations and disclosures, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustments may be significant.

**<u>Business Combinations</u>**: Purchase accounting requires that the assets purchased, the liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests all be reported on the acquirer's financial statements at their fair value, with any excess of purchase consideration over the net assets being reported as goodwill. A bargain purchase gain is realized when the excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is greater than the consideration paid and it is recognized in earnings on the acquisition date.

**<u>Merger with HomeStreet</u>**: On September 2, 2025, Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as "HomeStreet, Inc."), consummated the Merger by and among the Company, HomeStreet Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Mechanics Bank. In connection with the Merger, HomeStreet Bank merged with and into Mechanics Bank, with Mechanics Bank surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company's business became primarily the business conducted by Mechanics Bank. Immediately following the Merger, (1) legacy Mechanics Bank shareholders owned approximately 91.7% of the Company on an economic basis and 91.3% of the voting power of the Company and (2) legacy Company shareholders owned approximately 8.3% of the Company on an economic basis and 8.7% of the voting power of the Company. See Note 16, "Shareholders' Equity and Dividend Limitations" for details of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, including further information on the economic rights of the Class B shares.

The Merger is considered a reverse acquisition. Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer ("legal acquiree"), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp is the legal acquirer. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger at their acquisition date fair values. These estimates are considered preliminary as of March 31, 2026, are subject to change for up to one year after the Merger date, and any changes could be material.

Asset Sale: As discussed in Note 17, "Subsequent Events—Asset Sale," on May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its Fannie Mae Multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS®") business line to Fifth Third for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $126 million.

**<u>Adoption of Purchased Seasoned Loans Accounting Standard</u>:** The Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-08, "Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans," during the fourth quarter of 2025. This new standard, which the Company elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2025, requires acquired loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition (purchased seasoned loans) to be recognized at their purchase price plus the amount of the allowance for expected credit losses (gross-up approach). As a result, for purchased seasoned loans acquired in the Merger, the Company established an allowance for credit losses of $20.3 million at the date of acquisition for these loans and reversed the provision for credit losses recorded in the third quarter of 2025, and recorded it as part of the acquired loans initial amortized cost basis. Required disclosures regarding the impact of the adoption were presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, third quarter 2025 results will be retrospectively adjusted when the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

**<u>Recent Accounting Developments</u>**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 is

------

effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. In January 2025, the FASB also issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures-Clarifying the Effective Date," which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The enhanced income statement expense disclosure requirements apply on a prospective basis. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as it impacts disclosures only. We are assessing the impact on our disclosures.

**NOTE 2-BUSINESS COMBINATION**

As discussed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," on September 2, 2025, the Merger by and among Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as HomeStreet, Inc.), HomeStreet Bank and Mechanics Bank was consummated. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger as of September 2, 2025, at their acquisition date fair values.

In connection with the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $50 per share, of Mechanics Bank voting common stock issued and outstanding was converted into 3,301.0920 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, no par value, and existing shares of the Company common stock held by legacy Company shareholders were redesignated as the Company's Class A common stock. In addition, each share of common stock, par value $50 per share, of Mechanics Bank non-voting common stock was converted into 330.1092 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, no par value. Class A common stock, which was previously known as Company common stock and was previously listed on Nasdaq and traded under the symbol "HMST" through the close of business on August 29, 2025, commenced trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "MCHB" on September 2, 2025.

Immediately following the Merger, (1) legacy Mechanics Bank shareholders owned approximately 91.7% of the Company on an economic basis and 91.3% of the voting power of the Company and (2) legacy Company shareholders owned approximately 8.3% of the Company on an economic basis and 8.7% of the voting power of the Company.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with the purchase price determined based on the number of equity interests the legal acquiree would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal acquirer the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition.

The following table provides the preliminary purchase price allocation and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the Merger date, resulting in a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $145.5 million. The estimates of fair value were recorded based on initial valuations at the Merger date and these estimates are considered preliminary as of March 31, 2026, and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the Merger date, and any changes could be material. In many cases, the determination of fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. Additional information may be obtained during the measurement period that could result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts, and that could result in adjustments to the valuation amounts presented herein. The Company's taxes are provisional along with the DUS valuation and review of certain contracts assumed in the Merger. The measurement period ends on the earlier of one year after the Merger date or the date the Company concludes that all necessary information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Merger date have been obtained.

In addition to the reported fair values of the debt securities reflected above, the Company is entitled to receive accrued interest and dividends from its securities. Included in interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $19.1 million and $20.2 million, respectively, of interest and dividends receivable from the Company's debt securities. Accrued interest receivable from securities available-for-sale totaled $16.7 million and $17.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Accrued interest receivable from securities held-to-maturity totaled $2.1 million and $2.2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Substantially all the mortgage-backed securities represent securities issued or guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises and government entities. Municipal bonds are comprised of general obligation bonds (i.e., backed by the general credit of the issuer) and revenue bonds (i.e., backed by either collateral or revenues from the specific project being financed) issued by various municipal and corporate entities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all securities held, including municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, and collateralized loan obligations were rated investment grade based upon nationally recognized statistical rating organizations where available.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held $49.5 million of trading securities, consisting of U.S. Treasury notes used as economic hedges of our single family mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at fair value and reported as trading securities on the consolidated balance sheets. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net losses of $533 thousand on trading securities were recorded in loan servicing income. There were no net gains or losses on trading securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The trading securities were acquired in the Merger.

The following table presents proceeds, gross realized gains and gross realized losses from sales and calls of available-for-sale investments:

The Company reassessed classification of certain investments and effective January 1, 2022, transferred $1.7 billion in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity securities. The transfer occurred at fair value. The related net unrealized loss of $23.5 million, or $16.7 million net of deferred taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income remained in accumulated other comprehensive income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $605 thousand and $627 thousand, respectively, of the unrealized loss was accreted to interest income as a yield adjustment through earnings and will be accreted over the remaining term of the securities. No gain or loss was recorded at the time of transfer.

The following table summarizes available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position:

The Company did not record an ACL on the debt securities portfolio at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of both dates, the Company considers any unrealized or unrecognized loss across the classes of major security-type to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit quality. The Company maintains that it has the intent and ability to hold these securities until the amortized cost basis of each security is recovered, which may be at maturity, and likewise concluded as of March 31, 2026, that it was not more likely than not that any of the securities in an unrealized loss position would be required to be sold. The factors that were considered in determining that an ACL was not required at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are discussed below.

**<u>Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions are primarily due to changes in interest rates and not due to credit losses. Management monitors these securities on an ongoing basis and performs an internal analysis which takes into account the impact from market rates movements, severity and duration of the unrealized loss position, viability of the issuer, recent downgrades in

------

ratings, and external credit rating assessments. As a result, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

**<u>Mortgage-Backed Securities - Residential and Commercial</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in residential and commercial MBS are primarily due to changes in interest rates. These securities are either implicitly or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. As a result, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

**<u>Collateralized Loan Obligations</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's collateralized loan obligations are primarily due to slightly wider spreads. Management conducts ongoing monitoring of these securities including analysis of credit enhancement and performance of the underlying collateral. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

**<u>Corporate Bonds</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in corporate bonds are due to slight discount margin variances related to changes in market rates and not due to credit losses. Management monitors these securities on an ongoing basis and performs an internal analysis which includes a review of credit quality, changes in ratings, assessment of regulatory and financial ratios, and general standing versus peer group. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

**<u>U.S. Treasury Securities</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury securities are primarily due to changes in interest rates. These securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. As a result, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

**<u>Agency Debentures</u>**: The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in agency debentures are primarily due to changes in interest rates. These securities are either implicitly or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. As a result, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

At March 31, 2026, investment securities with a carrying value of $3.3 billion were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and investment securities with a carrying value of $1.6 billion were pledged to secure the Company's obligations to collateralize certain public, trust and bankruptcy deposits as required by law.

As of March 31, 2026, there were no past due or nonaccrual available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.

The fair value of available-for-sale securities and the amortized cost and fair value of held-to-maturity debt securities are shown by contractual maturity in the following tables. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Contractual maturities of securities as of March 31, 2026, were as follows:

In addition to the ACL for LHFI, the Company maintains a separate allowance for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents changes in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Quarter Ended March 31,** | **Quarter Ended March 31,** |
| **(in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beginning balance | $7115 | $4366 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provision (reversal of provision) for credit losses | 174 | 94 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ending balance | $7289 | $4460 |

---

Management considers the level of ACL to be appropriate to cover credit losses expected over the life of the loans for the LHFI portfolio. The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Company's quantitative and qualitative expected losses for current and forecasted periods.

As of March 31, 2026, the quantitative rates increased when compared to December 31, 2025 due to higher forecasted product risk metrics in certain geographically concentrated areas, partially offset by runoff of the auto, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction and land development portfolios. During 2026, the qualitative factors increased

------

due to economic uncertainty and the potential impact of higher energy prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

There were no material changes to the methodologies for estimating credit losses for the periods presented.

Disclosures related to the amortized cost of loans excludes accrued interest receivable. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the evaluation of the allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on loans held for investment was $51.7 million and $53.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

**Credit Quality**

Nonaccrual loans include both individually evaluated loans and smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated. Loans whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans' Affairs or Ginnie Mae, are maintained on accrual status even if 90 days or more past due.

The following table presents the amortized cost of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by class of loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

There were no loans that had a payment default and were past due for quarter ended March 31, 2025 and that were modified in the last 12 months.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

**Credit Quality Indicators:**

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, current economic trends and other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all loans regardless of balances. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

**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 deterioration of the 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 so classified 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 liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass rated loans.

**NOTE 8–DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES**

To reduce the risk of significant interest rate fluctuations on the value of certain assets and liabilities, such as single family mortgage LHFS and MSRs, the Company utilizes derivatives as economic hedges.

As a part of its mortgage origination process, the Company enters into contracts that qualify as derivatives, including forward sale commitments and interest rate lock commitments. It is the Company's practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into to economically hedge the effect of changes in the interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps with loan customers. The specific terms of the interest rate swap agreements are tied to the terms of the underlying loan agreements. To avoid increasing internal interest rate risk as a result of these business activities, the Company enters into offsetting swap agreements. The Company enters into interest rate swaps executed with commercial banking customers and broker dealer counterparties. The Company's customer-related interest rate swaps provide an economic hedge but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Cooperative Rabobank, U.A. and a subsidiary of Rabobank International Holding B.V.'s parent also provided various interest rate swap services to the Company. The applicable Rabobank International Holding B.V. counterparties deposited $3.2 million and $3.7 million in cash collateral with the Company to secure underlying derivative contracts as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. B&F Capital Markets, LLC (a Stifel Company) has provided interest rate swap services to the Company since 2023.

Receivables related to cash collateral that has been paid to counterparties are included in interest receivable and other assets. Payables related to cash collateral that has been received from counterparties are included in interest payable and other liabilities. Interest is owed on amounts received from counterparties and we earn interest on cash paid to counterparties. Any securities pledged to counterparties as collateral remain on the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had liabilities of $5.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in cash collateral received from counterparties and receivables of $322 thousand and $122 thousand, respectively, in cash collateral paid to counterparties.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the initial fair value of capitalized single family MSRs were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Quarter Ended March 31,** | **Quarter Ended March 31,** |
| **(rates per annum)** <sup>(1)</sup> | **2026** | **2025** |

(2)Represents an expected lifetime average CPR used in the model.

(3)Based on market observations.

For the fair value of single family MSRs as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we use a discounted cash flow valuation technique which utilizes CPRs and discount rates as significant unobservable inputs as noted in the table below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

**NOTE 10–GUARANTEES AND MORTGAGE REPURCHASE LIABILITY**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has sold loans through the DUS program that are subject to a credit loss sharing arrangement. The Company has serviced the loans for Fannie Mae and shared in the risk of loss with Fannie Mae under the terms of the DUS contracts. Under the DUS program, the Company and Fannie Mae shared losses on a pro rata basis, where the Company was responsible for losses incurred up to one-third of the principal balance on each loan with two-thirds of the loss covered by Fannie Mae. For loans that have been sold through this program, a liability is recorded for this loss sharing arrangement under the accounting guidance for guarantees. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total unpaid principal balance of loans sold under this program was $1.8 billion. The Company's reserve liability related to this arrangement totaled $557 thousand and $554 thousand at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There was a provision of $3 thousand and no actual losses were incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Balances and activity from the DUS program are reported beginning on the Merger date of September 2, 2025. Therefore, there were no balances or activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. On May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its DUS business line. See Note 17, "Subsequent Events—Asset Sale" for further details.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells residential mortgage loans to government sponsored enterprises and other entities. Under the terms of these sales agreements, the Company has made representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements. The Company may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify loan purchasers due to defects in the origination process of the loan, such as documentation errors, underwriting errors and judgments, early payment defaults and fraud. The total unpaid principal balance of loans sold on a servicing-retained basis that were subject to the terms and conditions of these representations and warranties totaled $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

------

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had recorded a mortgage repurchase liability for loans sold on a servicing-retained and servicing-released basis, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of $674 thousand and $708 thousand, respectively. There was a net reversal of provision of $32 thousand and $2 thousand actual losses were incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Balances from loans sold on a servicing retained basis and the mortgage repurchase liability are reported beginning on the Merger date of September 2, 2025. Therefore, there were no balances or activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

**NOTE 11–CONTINGENCIES**

<u>Legal Contingencies</u>

In the normal course of business, the Company may have various legal claims and other similar contingent matters outstanding for which a loss may be realized. For these claims, the Company establishes a liability for contingent losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. For claims determined to be reasonably possible but not probable of resulting in a loss, there may be a range of possible losses in excess of the established liability. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an accrued contingent liability of $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

***McClain Feed Yard Litigation.*** Mechanics Bank is currently a defendant in (i) actions filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, captioned AgTexas Farm Credit Services, et al. v. Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, et al. and 2B Farms, et al. v. Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, et al., which were consolidated in the bankruptcy case captioned In re McClain Feed Yard, Inc., et al. (jointly administered with In re 2B Farms), (ii) a related adversary proceeding filed by a court-appointed Chapter 7 Trustee captioned Kent Ries, et al. v. Community Financial Services Bank et al. (In re McClain Feed Yard, Inc.), and (iii) a Kentucky putative class action captioned Tindal and Rogers v. Community Financial Services Bank, et al., brought on behalf of investors in that state. These cases allege that the defendants knowingly or negligently aided and abetted a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Kentucky farmer Brian McClain, who was accused of defrauding investors of millions of dollars through a fictitious "ghost" cattle scheme. On May 30, 2025, Mechanics Bank filed a motion to dismiss the Chapter 7 Trustee's complaint. On March 27, 2026, the bankruptcy court issued an order dismissing all of the Chapter 7 Trustee's claims against Mechanics Bank with prejudice, with the exception of the alleged fraudulent and preferential transfer claims (which the court will address by separate order). We analyze loss contingencies in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 450, "Contingencies." Although we do not consider the potential for an insurance recovery in making the determination of the reasonably estimable amount of loss, we do maintain insurance, with significant policy limits, that could provide coverage for the liabilities that may arise from this matter. Additionally, we believe that Rabo AgriFinance LLC and certain third parties are contractually obligated to indemnify us in these cases. We intend to vigorously defend these cases and pursue our indemnification rights. However, based on the information currently available and uncertainty around these pending unresolved issues, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential exposures at this time. Therefore, we have not recorded an accrual for these cases under ASC 450-20. However, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these cases could result in future charges that may be material in our results of operations. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the status of these cases each quarter to determine the need for additional disclosure pursuant to ASC 450.

**NOTE 12–FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

The term "fair value" is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The Company's approach is to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

<u>Fair Value Hierarchy</u>

A three-level valuation hierarchy has been established under ASC 820 for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels are defined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company's assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company's policy regarding transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is that all transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

<u>Estimation of Fair Value</u>

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where a quoted price for an asset or liability is not available, the Company uses valuation models to estimate fair value. These models incorporate inputs such as forward yield curves, loan prepayment assumptions, expected loss assumptions, market volatilities and pricing spreads utilizing market-based inputs where readily available. The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those that would be used by other market participants. However, imprecision in estimating unobservable inputs and other factors may result in these fair value measurements not reflecting the amount realized in an actual sale or transfer of the asset or liability in a current market exchange.

The following table summarizes the fair value measurement methodologies, including significant inputs and assumptions and classification of the Company's assets and liabilities valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

<u>Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements</u>

The Company's Level 3 recurring fair value measurements consist of investment securities AFS, single family MSRs, and interest rate lock commitments, which are accounted for as derivatives. For information regarding fair value changes and activity for single family MSRs for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, see Note 9, "Mortgage Banking Operations."

The fair value of IRLCs considers several factors, including the fair value in the secondary market of the underlying loan resulting from the exercise of the commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan (referred to as the value of servicing) and the probability that the commitment will not be converted into a funded loan (referred to as a fall-out factor). The fair value of IRLCs on LHFS, while based on interest rates observable in the market, is highly dependent on the ultimate closing of the loans. The significance of the fall-out factor to the fair value measurement of an individual IRLC is generally highest at the time that the rate lock is initiated and declines as closing procedures are performed and the underlying loan gets closer to funding. The fall-out factor applied is based on historical experience. The value of servicing is impacted by a variety of factors, including prepayment assumptions, discount rates, delinquency rates, contractually specified servicing fees, servicing costs and underlying portfolio characteristics. Because these inputs are not observable in market trades, the fall-out factor and value of servicing are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The fair value of IRLCs decreases in value upon an increase in the fall-out factor and increases in value upon an increase in the value of servicing. Changes in the fall-out factor and value of servicing do not increase or decrease based on movements in other significant unobservable inputs.

The Company recognizes unrealized gains and losses from the time that an IRLC is initiated until the gain or loss is realized at the time the loan closes, which generally occurs within 30-90 days. For IRLCs that fall out, any unrealized gain or loss is reversed, which generally occurs at the end of the commitment period. The gains and losses recognized on IRLC

------

derivatives generally correlates to volume of single family interest rate lock commitments made during the reporting period (after adjusting for estimated fallout) while the amount of unrealized gains and losses realized at settlement generally correlates to the volume of single family closed loans during the reporting period.

The following information presents significant Level 3 unobservable inputs used to measure fair value of certain assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Balances and activity from these Level 3 assets are reported beginning on the Merger date of September 2, 2025. Therefore, there were no balances or activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

**Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis**

**Collateral Dependent Loan Receivables:** The fair value of collateral dependent loan receivables with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses based on collateral values is generally based on recent appraisals or evaluations. 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 are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Loss exposure for collateral dependent loans is typically determined by the "practical expedient" which allows these loans to be assessed using the fair value of collateral method, which compares the net realizable value of the collateral (fair value less costs of sale) to the amortized cost basis of the loan (carrying value).

The following tables present collateral dependent loans that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, and still held on the consolidated balance sheets, as well as the valuation methodology and unobservable inputs, and the net gains or losses resulting from those fair value adjustments for the periods indicated.

**Other real estate owned:** Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property or internal evaluations based on comparable sales, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Appraisal Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less cost to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Management also considers inputs regarding market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs.

Other real estate owned assets fall under a Level 3 fair value measurement methodology. The following tables present other real estate owned that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held on the consolidated balance sheets, as well as the valuation methodology, unobservable inputs and losses resulting from those fair value adjustments for the periods indicated.

<u>Fair Value Option</u>

Single family loans held for sale accounted under the fair value option are measured initially at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Gains and losses from such changes in fair value are recognized in net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities within other noninterest income. The change in fair value of loans held for sale is primarily driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in fair value of the related servicing asset, resulting in revaluation adjustments to the recorded fair value. The use of the fair value option allows the change in the fair value of loans to more effectively offset the change in fair value of derivative instruments that are used as economic hedges of loans held for sale.

The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

**NOTE 13 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS**

All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within noninterest income in the consolidated income statements. A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 are as follows:

**Service Charges on Deposit Accounts and Other Deposit Service Fees:** The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance. Other deposit service fees are recognized at the point in time that the transaction occurs or the services provided.

**Trust Fees:** The Company earns trust fees from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment services. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management at month-end. Other related services provided, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered.

**Merchant Processing Services, ATM processing and Debit Card Fees:** ATM processing fees are recognized at the point in time that the transaction occurs or the services provided. The Company earns interchange fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

The following is a summary of the revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 that is recognized within noninterest income:

**NOTE 14–EARNINGS PER SHARE**

The Company has two classes of common stock and, as such applies the "two-class method" of computing earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." Earnings are allocated in the same manner as dividends would be distributed. The Company's common shareholders are entitled to equally share in all dividends and distributions based on such shareholders' pro rata ownership interest in the Company, except that each share of Class B common stock is treated as if such share had been converted into ten Class A Shares for purposes of calculating the economic rights of the Class B Shares, including upon liquidation of the Company or the declaration of dividends or distributions by the Company.

The following table summarizes the calculation of earnings per share under the two-class method:

**NOTE 15–SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS**

The 2025 Equity Plan, adopted by shareholders in August 2025, provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, PSUs, dividend equivalent awards and other awards. All share-based awards granted after the Merger date were issued under the 2025 Equity Plan. As of March 31, 2026, only RSUs and PSUs have been granted under the 2025 Equity Plan. Shares available for grant under the 2025 Equity Plan were 6,799,632 shares as of March 31, 2026.

In connection with Mechanics Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which is publicly traded, and the stock of Mechanics Bank being exchanged for shares of Class A common stock of the Company as a result of the Merger, the Company has elected to settle share-based compensation awards in Class A common stock of the Company that were outstanding following the Merger that historically were settled in cash by Mechanics Bank. Accordingly, during 2025, the Company modified the classification of these outstanding awards from liability to equity (RSU awards). These outstanding awards also were remeasured at the modification date fair value of the Company's stock, and the previously recognized liability was reclassified to common stock within the consolidated balance sheets. Upon modification, $13.6 million of previously recognized liability-classified awards was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Compensation expense on the accompanying consolidated income statements was $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated income statements related to this expense was $259 thousand and $733 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to all RSUs and PSUs as of March 31, 2026 totaled $14.2 million. Such expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.61 years.

RSUs generally vest over a period of three to four years and PSUs vest over a period of three years with the fair market value of the awards determined at the grant date based on the Company's stock price. The vesting date fair value of RSUs vested in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $2.3 million and zero, respectively.

**NOTE 16-SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS**

On September 2, 2025, HomeStreet Bank merged with and into Mechanics Bank, and Mechanics Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as HomeStreet, Inc.).

In connection with the Merger, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Company common stock from 160,000,000 to 1,900,000,000 and Company preferred stock from 100,000 to 120,000 and authorize the issuance of two (2) classes of Company common stock, 1,897,500,000 shares of which are designated Class A common stock and 2,500,000 shares of which are designated Class B common stock.

Legacy Mechanics Bank's number of shares issued and outstanding have been retrospectively restated for periods prior to the Merger to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In all prior periods, the fixed exchange ratio of 3,301.0920 was applied to shares of outstanding Mechanics Bank voting common stock, which were converted to Class A common stock, and the fixed exchange ratio of 330.1092 was applied to shares of outstanding Mechanics Bank non-voting common stock, which were converted to Class B common stock.

***Class A common stock:*** Our Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "MCHB" and there were 220,286,142 shares outstanding at March 31, 2026, and 220,190,561 shares outstanding at December 31, 2025.

------

***Class B common stock:*** Our Class B common stock is not listed or traded on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, and there currently is no established trading market for such stock. There were 1,114,448 shares outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Each holder of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share of combined company common stock on matters submitted to the vote of holders of combined company common stock. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of combined company shareholders, except as may otherwise be required by law or certain adverse amendments to the rights of Class B common stock. The Company's common shareholders are entitled to equally share in all dividends and distributions based on such shareholders' pro rata ownership interest in the Company, except that each share of Class B common stock is treated as if such share had been converted into ten Class A shares for purposes of calculating the economic rights of the Class B shares, including upon liquidation of the Company or the declaration of dividends or distributions by the Company.

Mechanics is a separate legal entity from Mechanics Bank, which is the primary source of funds available to Mechanics to service its debt, fund its operations, pay dividends to shareholders, repurchase shares and otherwise satisfy its obligations. The availability of dividends from Mechanics Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations, capital rules regarding requirements to maintain a "well capitalized" position at Mechanics Bank, as well as by our policy of retaining a significant portion of our earnings to support Mechanics Bank's operations. Under California law, Mechanics Bank, or any majority owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bank, generally may not declare a cash dividend on its capital stock in an amount that exceeds the lesser of the retained earnings of Mechanics Bank or the net income of Mechanics Bank in the last three fiscal years, less the amount of any distributions made by Mechanics Bank or any majority owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bank to shareholders of Mechanics Bank, unless approved by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

**NOTE 17–SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

<u>Legal Contingencies</u>

***McClain Feed Yard Litigation*.** On April 10, 2026, in the consolidated actions pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to which Mechanics Bank is a party, as described in Note 11, "Contingencies—Legal Contingencies," the bankruptcy court issued an order dismissing the Chapter 7 Trustee's only remaining claims against Mechanics Bank (for actual and constructive fraudulent transfers and preferential transfers). The court ordered the constructive fraudulent transfer claims be dismissed with prejudice to refiling. The court ordered the claims for preferential and actual fraudulent transfers be dismissed without prejudice to refiling. This follows an earlier bankruptcy court order dismissing all of the Chapter 7 Trustee's *common law* claims against Mechanics Bank with prejudice, as described in Note 11.

<u>Asset Sale</u>

On May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its Fannie Mae DUS business line to Fifth Third for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $126 million. Under the terms of the completed transaction, Fifth Third acquired Mechanics Bank's approximately $1.8 billion DUS servicing portfolio, including associated escrow amounts, and hired Mechanics Bank employees who operate the DUS business line.

**Overview**

Mechanics Bancorp is a financial holding company and primarily operates through 121-year-old Mechanics Bank, a full-service community bank with 166 branches throughout California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. Following the strategic Merger of HomeStreet Bank with and into Mechanics Bank on September 2, 2025, with Mechanics Bank surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the assets, liabilities and operations of HomeStreet Bank became the assets, liabilities and operations of Mechanics Bank. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Mechanics Bank provides a wide range of products and services in consumer and business banking, commercial lending, cash management services, private banking, and comprehensive wealth management and trust services.

**General**

The Company's management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition ("MD&A") is intended to assist the reader in understanding and assessing significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Recent Developments**

<u>Presentation of Results - HomeStreet Bank Merger</u>

On September 2, 2025, we completed the Merger of HomeStreet Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as "HomeStreet, Inc.") with and into Mechanics Bank, with Mechanics Bank as the surviving bank. Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer ("legal acquiree"), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp is the legal acquirer. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our financial results for all periods ended prior to September 2, 2025 reflect Mechanics Bank's results on a standalone basis. In addition, our reported financial results reflect Mechanics Bank's financial results on a standalone basis until the closing of the Merger on September 2, 2025 and results of the combined company beginning September 2, 2025. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Mechanics Bancorp have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger as of September 2, 2025 at their acquisition date fair values. The estimates of fair value were recorded based on initial valuations at the Merger date. These estimates are considered preliminary as of March 31, 2026, are subject to change for up to one year after the Merger date, and any changes could be material.

Unless we state otherwise or the content otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "Mechanics," "we," "our," "us" or the "Company" refer collectively to Mechanics Bancorp, Mechanics Bank (the "Bank") and other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Mechanics Bancorp, following completion of the Merger. In some instances, we refer to Mechanics Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy Mechanics Bank," HomeStreet Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet Bank," and HomeStreet, Inc. prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet, Inc."

*<u>Asset Sale</u>*

As discussed in Note 17, "Subsequent Events—Asset Sale," on May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its DUS business line to Fifth Third.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and accounting practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies because they require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could materially affect the value of those assets, such as economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets. Those estimates and assumptions are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our estimates or assumptions were based, these changes could have a material adverse effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and on our results of operations. As a result of the

------

Merger, the Company updated critical accounting estimates. Management believes the ACL policy and estimate, the valuation of single family MSRs and business combinations estimates are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and requires difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and, therefore, management considers them to be critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes in the methodology of these estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Management's Overview of Financial Performance**

*First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2025*

*General*: Our net income and income before taxes were $44.1 million and $61.9 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $111.2 million and $135.2 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025. The $73.3 million decrease in income before taxes compared to fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income due to the preliminary bargain purchase gain of $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the Merger. The decrease in income before taxes was also due to an increase in provision for credit losses driven primarily by an increase in provision of $6.5 million related to economic uncertainty and the potential impact of higher energy prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

------

*Income Taxes:* Our effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2026 was 28.7% as compared to 17.8% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate increased compared to the prior quarter as a result of a $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets. In addition, the bargain purchase gain from the Merger, which is an after-tax item, was $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and was the primary reason for the low effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2025.

*Net Interest Income:* The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. The average yields and rates are based on annualized interest income or expense for the periods presented.

(3)Prior period comparative disclosures for the fourth quarter of 2025 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-08.

(4)Cost of deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.28% and 1.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.9 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of a decrease in average interest earning assets of $622.1 million, partially offset by lower interest expense on certificates of deposit. Mechanics' net interest margin increased from 3.50% to 3.61% primarily due to lower cost of deposits from Federal Reserve rate cuts and runoff of higher cost certificates of deposit. In the first quarter of 2026, there was a 21 basis point reduction in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease on interest-earning asset yields. The decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily driven by the decrease in rates paid on

deposits after the Federal Reserve cut federal funds rates in 2025, and runoff of higher cost certificates of deposit. The slight decrease in earning asset yields was primarily driven by lower yields on loans, partially offset by higher yields on investment securities.

*Provision for Credit Losses:* The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026, which consists of the provision for credit losses on loans and provision for unfunded commitments, was $7.8 million, compared to a reversal of provision of $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Although net charge-offs were favorable and credit metrics remained strong, the provision in the first quarter of 2026 was driven primarily by an increase in provision of $6.5 million related to economic uncertainty and the potential impact of higher energy prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. The reversal of provision in the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to lower loan balances due to repayments during the quarter.

(2)Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates.

(3)Comprised of net gains on derivatives used as economic hedges of single family MSRs, and net gains on U.S. Treasury notes trading securities used for hedging purposes.

Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2026 decreased from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to the preliminary bargain purchase gain from the Merger of $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

---

Noninterest expense increased $917 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to a slight increase in non-recurring acquisition and integration related costs from the Merger, which were $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

*First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025*

*General*: Our net income and income before taxes were $44.1 million and $61.9 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $43.8 million and $61.5 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2025. The $416 thousand increase in income before taxes compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income from the Merger. The increases were partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and increases in noninterest expense from the Merger.

*Income Taxes*: Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 was 28.7% and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The current quarter tax provision included a $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets.

---

(1)Ratios are annualized.

(2)Includes loans held for sale.

(3)Cost of deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.28% and 1.32% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 increased $50.6 million as compared to the first quarter of 2025 due primarily to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $5.0 billion and an increase in net interest margin from 3.45% in the first quarter of 2025 to 3.61% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily as a result of the Merger. The increase in net interest margin is primarily due to a 9 basis point reduction in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a 22 basis point increase on interest-earning asset yields. The decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily driven by the decrease in rates paid on deposits after the Federal Reserve cut federal funds rates in 2025, partially offset by higher borrowing costs on debt assumed in the Merger. The increase in earning asset yields was primarily driven by loans acquired in the Merger, as well as higher yields on investment securities purchased in 2025.

*Provision for Credit Losses:* The provision for credit losses for loans and unfunded commitments was $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a $3.7 million reversal of provision in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in provision for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by economic uncertainty and the potential impact of higher energy prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

(2)Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates.

(3)Comprised of net gains on derivatives used as economic hedges of single family MSRs, and net gains on U.S. Treasury notes trading securities used for hedging purposes.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 increased from the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher loan servicing income and higher other noninterest income, both of which were driven by the Merger.

---

Noninterest expense increased $44.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in noninterest expense was mainly driven by higher salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy costs, amortization of intangibles and acquisition and integration related costs from the Merger.

**Financial Condition March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025**

During the first quarter of 2026, total assets decreased $962.5 million, total liabilities decreased $891.5 million and shareholders' equity decreased $71.0 million.

***Investment Securities***

Trading securities totaled $49.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Securities available-for-sale decreased by $59.7 million during the first quarter of 2026 to $3.9 billion at March 31, 2026, primarily due to paydowns and declines in fair values. Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, due to paydowns, and totaled $1.3 billion at March 31, 2026.

***Loans***

Total loans at March 31, 2026 were $13.9 billion, a decrease of $324.7 million from $14.2 billion at December 31, 2025, due primarily to loan repayments during the quarter.

***Deposits***

Total deposits decreased by $782.2 million during the first quarter of 2026 to $18.2 billion at March 31, 2026, due primarily to maturities of certificates of deposits acquired in the Merger, as well as seasonal outflows in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $6.5 billion and represented 36% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to $6.7 billion, or 35% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025.

Insured deposits of $10.8 billion represented 59% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to insured deposits of $12.2 billion, or 64% of total deposits at December 31, 2025.

***Borrowings***

Total borrowings were $128.8 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $192.0 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the first quarter of 2026 was due to the redemption of the $65.0 million Senior Notes on March 1, 2026.

------

***Equity***

During the first quarter of 2026, total shareholders' equity decreased by $71.0 million to $2.8 billion and tangible common equity <sup>(1)</sup> decreased by $63.8 million to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2026. The decrease in total shareholders' equity for the first quarter of 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings in the first quarter of 2026 from net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of securities available-for-sale.

At March 31, 2026, book value per common share decreased to $12.61, compared to $12.93 at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, tangible book value per common share <sup>(1)</sup> decreased to $7.53, compared to $7.81 at December 31, 2025. The decrease in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share for the first quarter of 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings in the first quarter of 2026 from net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of securities available-for-sale.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tangible common equity and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure or the computation of the measure, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations."

At March 31, 2026, total delinquent loans were $77.0 million, compared to $93.1 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to improvement in auto loan portfolio delinquencies. Total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans declined to 0.56% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.66% at December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, nonperforming assets were $53.1 million, compared to $51.8 million at December 31, 2025. The slight increase was primarily due to a commercial real estate loan that was modified and was placed on nonaccrual status. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.25% at March 31, 2026 as compared to 0.23% at December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the expected loss rates increased when compared to December 31, 2025 due to higher forecasted product risk metrics in certain geographically concentrated areas, partially offset by runoff of the auto, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction and land development portfolios. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the qualitative factors primarily increased due to economic uncertainty and the potential impact of higher energy prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

**Liquidity and Sources of Funds**

Liquidity risk management is primarily intended to ensure we are able to maintain sources of cash to adequately fund operations and meet our obligations, including demands from depositors, draws on lines of credit and paying any creditors, on a timely and cost-effective basis, in various market conditions. Our liquidity profile is influenced by changes in market conditions, the composition of the balance sheet and risk tolerance levels. Mechanics has established liquidity guidelines and operating plans that detail the sources and uses of cash and liquidity.

Mechanics' primary sources of liquidity include deposits, loan repayments and investment securities payments, both principal and interest, borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities. Borrowings may include advances from the FHLB, borrowings from the Federal Reserve, federal funds purchased and borrowings from other financial institutions. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and prepayments of loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Mechanics' contractual cash flow obligations include the maturity of certificates of deposit, short-term and long-term borrowings, interest on certificates of deposit and borrowings, operating leases and fees for information technology-related services and professional services. Obligations for certificates of deposit are typically satisfied through excess cash reserve balances, the renewal of these instruments or the generation of new deposits. Interest payments and obligations related to leases and services are typically met by cash generated from our operations.

At March 31, 2026, Mechanics had available borrowing capacity of $6.1 billion from the FHLB, $4.2 billion from the Federal Reserve and $5.1 billion under borrowing lines established with other financial institutions. We believe that our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. We are currently not aware of any other trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our liquidity needs during or beyond the next 12 months.

***Cash Flows***

For the first quarter of 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $546.5 million compared to a decrease of $201.4 million during the first quarter of 2025. As a banking institution, Mechanics has extensive access to liquidity. Mechanics manages its cash positions to conservative minimum cash buffer levels and does not attempt to maximize the level of cash and cash equivalents. The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows during these periods.

*Cash flows from operating activities*

Mechanics' operating assets and liabilities are used to support our lending activities, including the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For the first quarter of 2026, net cash of $11.4 million was provided by operating activities from ongoing bank operations, compared to $1.4 million used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2025.

*Cash flows from investing activities*

Mechanics' investing activities are primarily related to investment securities and LHFI. For the first quarter of 2026, net cash of $381.8 million was provided by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security maturities and calls, net loan originations and principal collections, partially offset by AFS investment security purchases. For the first quarter of 2025, net cash of $244.4 million was used by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security purchases, partially offset by net loan originations and principal collections.

*Cash flows from financing activities*

Mechanics' financing activities are primarily related to deposits, net proceeds or repayments from borrowings and equity transactions. For the first quarter of 2026, net cash of $939.7 million was used by financing activities, due to a decrease in deposits, repayment of Senior Notes and dividends paid. For the first quarter of 2025, net cash of $44.4 million was provided by financing activities due to an increase in deposits.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments that carry off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments (which include commitments to originate loans and commitments to purchase loans) include potential credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of our customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, (3) diversify our funding sources and/or (4) optimize capital.

These commitments include the following:

| Unused consumer portfolio lines | $832068 | $835480 |

(1)Within the commercial portfolio lines, undistributed construction loan proceeds, where the Company has an obligation to advance funds for construction progress payments were $308.4 million and $361.4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

**Capital Resources** 

The capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding companies and federally insured depository institutions require Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank to meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, prompt corrective action regulations place a federally insured depository institution, such as Mechanics Bank, into one of five capital categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution's primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following tables present the regulatory capital amounts and ratios (inclusive of the capital 2.5% conservation buffer, where applicable) for Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank as of the dates indicated:

As of the dates set forth in the above tables, Mechanics Bancorp exceeded the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and Mechanics Bank's capital ratios exceeded the minimums necessary to qualify as a well-capitalized depository institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. In addition to the minimum capital ratios, Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of 2.5% in addition to the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses. Mechanics maintained capital ratios necessary to satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements as of the dates indicated. At March 31, 2026, the capital conservation buffers for Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank were 7.92% and 8.21%, respectively.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations**

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures of our financial performance, including return on average tangible equity, efficiency ratio (excluding the impact of intangibles amortization), tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets. However, these financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, its GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures Mechanics presents may differ from similarly captioned measures presented by other companies.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK** 

**Market Risk Management**

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income, fair value measurements and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are price and interest rate risks. Price risk is defined as the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from changes in the value of either assets or liabilities that are entered into as part of distributing or managing risk. Interest rate risk is defined as risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates. This forward-looking information provides an indicator of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

Mechanics is engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings in interest earning loans and investments, and our primary component of market risk is sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Consequently, our earnings depend to a significant extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and our interest expense on deposits and borrowings. To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-bearing assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income.

For the Company, price and interest rate risks arise from the financial instruments and positions we hold. This includes loans, MSRs, investment securities, deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments. Due to the nature of our current operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Our real estate loan portfolio is subject to risks associated with the local economies of our various markets, in particular, the regional economy of the western United States, including Hawaii.

The spread between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative dollar amounts of these assets and liabilities are the principal items affecting net interest income. Changes in net interest rates (interest rate risk) are influenced to a significant degree by the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities (repricing risk), the relationship between various rates (basis risk), customer options (optionality risk) and changes in the shape of the yield curve (yield curve risk). We manage the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio while maintaining a balance between risk and return. The Company's funding strategy is to grow core deposits while we efficiently supplement using wholesale borrowings.

We estimate the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates using an interest rate simulation model that includes assumptions related to the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments for multiple interest rate change scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity depends on certain repricing characteristics in our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during the periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective interest rate risk management seeks to ensure both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable timeframe, minimizing the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and capital. Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities, at a point in time, which are subject to repricing at various time horizons, known as interest rate sensitivity gaps.

The following table presents sensitivity gaps for these different intervals:

(1)Based on contractual maturities, repricing dates and forecasted principal payments assuming normal amortization and, where applicable, prepayments.

(2)Interest-bearing deposits with a rate less than 25 basis points are included in the More than 5 to 15 Years category.

(3)Non-interest bearing demand accounts are included in the More than 5 to 15 Years category based on the projected weighted average life of those deposits.

(4)Based on repricing dates.

The negative interest sensitivity gap for durations less than 12 months in the interest rate analysis indicates that net interest income would decline if short-term rates increase. Because of the inherent limitations in the interest rate gap analysis, Mechanics employs multiple interest rate risk measurement approaches. Mechanics runs interest rate simulations to the existing repricing conditions to rising and falling interest rates in increments and decrements of 100 basis points to determine the effect on net interest income changes for the next twelve months. In addition, Mechanics also measures the effects that changes in interest rates on the economic value of equity by discounting future cash flows. We believe that the simulation analysis presents a more accurate picture than the gap analysis. Our simulation analysis recognizes that deposit products may not react to changes in interest rates as quickly or with the same magnitude as earning assets contractually tied to a market rate index. The sensitivity to changes in market rates varies across deposit products.

The estimated impact on our net interest income over a time horizon of one year and the change in net portfolio value as of March 31, 2026 are provided in the table below. For the scenarios shown, the interest rate simulation assumes an instantaneous and parallel shift in market interest rates and no change in the composition or size of the balance sheet.

------

| | **At March 31, 2026** | **At March 31, 2026** |
| **Change in Interest Rates<br>(basis points)** | **Percentage Change** | **Percentage Change** |
| **Change in Interest Rates<br>(basis points)** | **Net Interest** <br>**Income** <sup>(1)</sup> | **Net Portfolio** <br>**Value** <sup>(2)</sup> |

| -200 | 0.3% | 0.5% |
| -100 | 0.4% | 1.6% |
| +100 | (1.1)% | (4.9)% |

(1)This percentage change represents the impact to net interest income for a one-year period, assuming there is no change in the structure of the balance sheet.

(2)This percentage change represents the impact to the net present value of equity, assuming contractual runoff of the balance sheet.

The projected changes in the table above were in compliance with established internal policy guidelines and are based on numerous assumptions. The timing and magnitude of future interest rate movements, along with changes to the balance sheet composition, may impact projected changes in net interest income, but may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual cash flows, yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. We continue to evaluate the interest rate risk position and may reposition the banking segment's balance sheet in the future to better align with management's target rate risk position. The impact of rate movements will change with the shape of the yield curve, including any changes in steepness or flatness and inversions at any points on the yield curve. Since the assumptions used relative to changes in interest rates are uncertain, the simulation analysis may not be indicative of actual results, particularly in times of stress and uncertainty. In addition, this analysis does not consider actions that management might employ in the future in response to changes in interest rates, as well as changes in earning asset and interest bearing liability balances.

**Current Banking Environment**

Market conditions and external factors may unpredictably impact the competitive landscape for deposits in the banking industry. Additionally, the higher interest rate environment has increased competition for liquidity and the premium at which liquidity is available to meet funding needs. Reliance on secondary funding sources could increase the Company's overall cost of funding and reduce net interest income. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had available liquidity of $16.3 billion which is equal to 89% of its total deposits and the level of uninsured deposits was 41% of total deposits. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current needs.

**ITEM 4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Merger, which was completed on September 2, 2025, has had a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the combined company from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2026. The business combination also resulted in material changes in the combined company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is in the process of designing and integrating policies, processes, operations, technology, and other components of internal control over financial reporting of the combined company. Management will monitor the implementation of new controls and test the operating effectiveness when instances are available in future periods.

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

Because the nature of our business involves the collection of numerous accounts, the validity of liens and compliance with various state and federal lending laws, we are subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business related to foreclosures, bankruptcies, condemnation and quiet title actions and alleged statutory and regulatory violations. We are also subject to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no matters that, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, or for which there would be a reasonable possibility of such a loss based on information known at this time. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome in any matter could be material to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period of occurrence. Refer to Note 11, "Contingencies—Legal Contingencies" in Item 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information about such estimates.

**ITEM 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS**

Refer to Item 1A of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
