**SIERRA BANCORP**

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
**September 30, 2025**

(Unaudited)

#### Note 1 – The Business of Sierra Bancorp
Sierra Bancorp (the "Company") is a California corporation headquartered in Porterville, California, and is a registered bank holding company under federal banking laws. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company for Bank of the Sierra (the "Bank") and has been the Company's sole shareholder since August 2001. The Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of the Bank and of such other subsidiaries it may acquire or establish. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's only other subsidiaries were Sierra Statutory Trust II, Sierra Capital Trust III, and Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II, which were formed solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities ("TRUPS"). Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standard on the consolidation of variable interest entities, these trusts are not reflected on a consolidated basis in the Company's financial statements. References herein to the "Company" include Sierra Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiary, the Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Bank of the Sierra, a California state-chartered bank headquartered in Porterville, California, offers a wide range of retail and commercial banking services via branch offices located throughout California's South San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, Ventura County, the Sacramento area, and neighboring communities. The Bank was incorporated in September 1977 and opened for business in January 1978 as a one-branch bank with $1.5 million in capital. The Company's growth in the ensuing years has largely been organic in nature but includes four whole-bank acquisitions: Sierra National Bank in 2000, Santa Clara Valley Bank in 2014, Coast National Bank in 2016, and Ojai Community Bank in October 2017. As of the filing date of this report the Bank operates 35 full-service branches and an online branch and maintains ATMs at all but one branch location as well as at seven non-branch locations. Moreover, the Bank has specialized lending units which focus on commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and mortgage warehouse borrowers. To support organic growth in the commercial lending sectors the Bank opened a loan production office in Templeton, CA in April 2022. The Company had total assets of $3.7 billion at September 30, 2025. The Company's deposit accounts, which totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to maximum insurable amounts.

#### Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as allowed under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Therefore, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete, audited financial statements as presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Such adjustments can generally be considered as normal and recurring unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, Management has taken subsequent events into consideration, through October 31, 2025, and recognized them where appropriate. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter, or for the full year. Certain amounts reported for 2024 have been reclassified to be consistent with the reporting for 2025, none of which impacted net income or shareholders' equity. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Segment information

An operating segment is generally defined as a component of business for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. As a community-oriented financial institution, substantially all of the Company's operations involve the delivery of loan and deposit products to customers.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of the Company's community banking activities (loan and deposit products), which constitutes the Company's only operating segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company's single segment is managed on a consolidated basis by the chief operating decision maker, which is the Executive Committee, consisting of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief risk officer, chief credit officer, chief operating officer, and chief banking officer. The accounting policies of the community banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated expense information to manage the operations of the segment. The consolidated expense information is the same as is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the community banking segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for whole bank or branch acquisitions or to pay dividends.

Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company's peer banking competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing Management's compensation.

The Company does not have intra-entity revenues or transfers.

#### Note 3 – Current Accounting Developments
On October 9, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, "*Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification of Initiative."* ASU 2023-06 amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification"). The ASU was issued in response to the SEC's August 2018 final rule that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were "redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded." The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. ASU 2023-06 applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the amended subtopics. Note that some of the amendments introduced by the ASU are technical corrections or clarifications of the FASB's current disclosure or presentation requirements. The effective date for each amendment of ASU 2023-06 will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2023-06 prospectively after the effective dates. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." ASU 2023-07 expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities to require disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2024, and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold, among other things. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help investors (a) better understand the entity's performance, (b) better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. The effective date of Update 2024-03 was amended by ASU 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. Public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of Update 2024-03 is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

#### Note 4 – Share Based Compensation
On March 17, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2023 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2023 Plan"), which became effective May 24, 2023, the date approved by the Company's shareholders. The 2023 Plan replaced the Company's 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). Options to purchase 157,400 shares granted under the 2017 Plan and options to purchase 52,000 shares that were granted under the 2007 Plan were still outstanding as of September 30, 2025, and remain unaffected by that plan's expiration. The 2023 Plan provides for the issuance of various types of equity awards, including options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted share units, performance share awards, dividend equivalents, or any combination thereof. Such awards may be granted to officers and employees as well as non-employee directors, which may be granted on such terms and conditions as are established by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee in its discretion. The total number of shares of the Company's authorized but unissued stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2023 Plan was initially 360,000 shares, and the number remaining available for grant as of September 30, 2025 was 269,857. Any unexercised, unvested, or undistributed portion of any expired, cancelled, terminated, or forfeited awards under the Company's 2017 Plan are added to the number of shares available to grant under the 2023 Plan. There were 28,920 unvested Restricted Stock Awards issued under the 2017 Plan and 137,904 unvested Restricted Stock Awards issued under the 2023 Equity Compensation Plan at September 30, 2025, and are included in shares outstanding. The potential dilutive impact of unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock is discussed below in Note 5, Earnings per Share.

Pursuant to FASB's standards on stock compensation, the value of each stock option and restricted stock award is reflected in the income statement as employee compensation or directors' expense by amortizing its grant date fair value over the vesting period of the option or award. The Company utilized a Black-Scholes model to determine grant date fair values for options, while the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Forfeitures are reflected in compensation costs as they occur for both types of awards. A pre-tax charge of $0.4 million was reflected in the Company's income statement during the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, as expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards. For the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, the charges totaled $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

#### Restricted Stock Grants
The Company's Restricted Stock Awards are awards of either time-vested or performance-based shares. The Restricted Stock Awards are non-transferable shares of common stock and are available to be granted to the Company's employees and directors. The vesting period of Restricted Stock Awards is determined at the time the awards are issued, and different awards may have different vesting terms or performance measures, provided, however, that no installment of any Restricted Stock Award shall become vested less than one year from the grant date. Restricted Stock Awards are valued utilizing the fair value of the Company's stock at the grant date. These awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and consider the probability of meeting the performance criteria. There were 62,692 shares granted to employees of the Company during the first nine months of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, there was $2.3 million of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the 2017 and 2023 plans. That cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

#### Stock Option Grants
The Company has issued equity instruments in the form of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options to certain officers and directors. No options have been granted since 2020, but the Company could elect to issue under the 2023 Plan. The exercise price of each stock option is determined at the time of the grant and may be no less than 100% of the fair market value of such stock at the time the option is granted.

The Company's stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 are summarized below (dollars in thousands, except per share data, unaudited):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The aggregate intrinsic value of stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on the last day of the period. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company's stock.

#### Note 5 – Earnings per Share
The computation of earnings per share, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. There were 13,361,594 weighted average shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2025 and 14,188,051 during the third quarter of 2024, while there were 13,582,194 weighted average shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2025 and 14,331,032 during the first nine months of 2024.

Diluted earnings per share calculations include the effect of the potential issuance of common shares, which for the Company is limited to shares that would be issued on the exercise of "in-the-money" stock options, and unvested restricted stock awards. For the third quarter of 2025, calculations under the treasury stock method resulted in the equivalent of 109,064 shares being added to basic weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, while 83 shares were excluded from the calculation due to being underwater and thus anti-dilutive. For the third quarter of 2024 the equivalent of 147,655 shares were added in calculating diluted earnings per share, while zero shares were excluded from the calculation due to being underwater and thus anti-dilutive. Likewise, for the first nine months of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

2025 the equivalent of 92,740 shares were added to basic weighted average shares outstanding in calculating diluted earnings per share and a weighted average of no options that were anti-dilutive for the period, compared to the addition of the equivalent of 106,754 shares and non-inclusion of 255,414 anti-dilutive options in calculating diluted earnings per share for first nine months of 2024.

#### Note 6 – Comprehensive Income
As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. The Company's only source of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses derived from available-for-sale investment securities, including those securities that were transferred to held-to-maturity. See Note 9 for additional details. Investment gains or losses that were realized and reflected in net income of the current period, which had previously been included in other comprehensive income as unrealized holding gains or losses in the period in which they arose, are considered to be reclassification adjustments that are excluded from other comprehensive income in the current period.

#### Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. Those financial instruments currently consist of unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for originating loans included on the consolidated balance sheet. The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Commitments to extend credit | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;637544 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;636447 |
| Standby letters of credit | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4280 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5046 |

---

Commitments to extend credit consist primarily of the unused or unfunded portions of the following: mortgage warehouse lines; home equity lines of credit; commercial real estate construction loans, where disbursements are made over the course of construction; commercial revolving lines of credit; unsecured personal lines of credit; and formalized (disclosed) deposit account overdraft lines. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the unused portions of committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party, and the credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines which are in the form of repo lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $308.8 million at September 30, 2025, and $311.6 million at December 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) on unfunded commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents Management's estimate of the amount of the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical data. The ACL on unfunded loan commitments is located within liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet while any related provision (benefit) expense is recorded as a provision (benefit) for credit losses.

At September 30, 2025, the Company was also utilizing a letter of credit in the amount of $127.9 million issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") on the Company's behalf as security for certain deposits and to facilitate certain credit arrangements with the Company's customers. That letter of credit is backed by loans which are pledged to the FHLB by the Company.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company is subject to loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, which are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

#### Note 8 – Fair Value Disclosures and Reporting and Fair Value Measurements
FASB's standards on financial instruments, and on fair value measurements and disclosures, require public business entities to disclose in their financial statement footnotes the estimated fair values of financial instruments. In addition to disclosure requirements, FASB's standard on investments requires that debt securities classified as available-for-sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values be measured and reported at fair value in the statement of financial position. Certain collateral-dependent, individually-evaluated loans are also reported at fair value, as explained in greater detail below, and foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. FASB's standard on financial instruments permits companies to report certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value, but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any of those financial instruments.

Fair value measurement and disclosure standards also establish a framework for measuring fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Further, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and limit the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair values. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

● Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

● Level 2 : Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

● Level 3 : Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the factors that market participants would likely consider in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. Fair value disclosures for deposits include demand deposits, which are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value calculations for loans reflect exit pricing and incorporate Management's assumptions with regard to the impact of prepayments on future cash flows and credit quality adjustments based on risk characteristics of various financial instruments, among other things. Since the estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment they cannot be determined with precision, and changes in assumptions could significantly alter the fair values presented.

For financial asset categories carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions:

● Investment securities : Fair values are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities by relying on their relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are estimated using broker expertise and other market indicators (Level 3). For bonds that are hand priced, actual recent trades for the exact bond are used in determining the price, adjusted for changes in market conditions since the time of the observable trade. For bonds, where no recent observable trades have occurred, our brokers consider recent trades made for similar bonds, issued by banks with similar financial position or credit and adjusted for changes in conditions since the time of the observable trades. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of the Company's corporate bonds included risk profile and market conditions, and are not quantifiable inputs. Differing unobservable input assumptions, for example a change in market conditions, may have resulted in reduced or increased fair value.

The table below presents a reconciliation of all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024:

Corporate bonds with a fair value of $54.5 million as of December 31, 2024 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 in the third quarter of 2025 because observable market data became available for the securities.

For financial asset categories carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and measured on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions:

● Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans : Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans are measured based on the fair value of collateral when foreclosure is probable, or repayment is expected through the sale or operation of collateral and borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan's collateral is determined by third party appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third-party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 10% of the appraised value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower's financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on Management's historical knowledge, changes in

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

market conditions from the time of the valuation, and Management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral-dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted in accordance with the allowance for credit losses policy

The table above includes collateral dependent loan balances for which a specific reserve has been established. Information on the Company's total collateral dependent loan balances and specific loss reserves associated with those balances is included in Note 10 below.

The unobservable inputs are based on Management's best estimates of appropriate discounts in arriving at fair market value. Adjusting any of those inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

#### Note 9 – Investments

#### Investment Securities
Pursuant to FASB's guidance on accounting for debt securities, available-for-sale securities are carried on the Company's financial statements at their estimated fair market values, with monthly tax-effected "mark-to-market" adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried on the Company's financial statements at their amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is adjusted to the fair value of the security upon transfer to held-to-maturity.

An unrealized loss of $24.7 million and $26.3 million on securities transferred from the available-for-sale to held-to-maturity categorization, remains as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The remaining unrealized loss on the securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity will be accreted over the remaining term of the securities, with the amortized-cost basis of these securities and accumulated comprehensive income (loss) each increasing over time.

The Company elected the practical expedient available under the current expected credit losses ("CECL") accounting standard to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of all categorizations of investment securities, and resultingly did not estimate reserves on accrued interest receivable balances, as any past due interest income is reversed on a timely basis. Accrued interest receivable is included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and as of September 30, 2025, measured at $5.8 million and $1.6 million for available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, respectively. Accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2024, on these same classes of investment securities measured at $7.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively. During the three-and-nine month periods ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, no interest receivable on available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities was reversed against interest income and the Company did not have any held-to-maturity debt securities past due.

A discounted cash-flow reserve calculation is performed on securities designated as held-to-maturity on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, an allowance for credit losses of $15 thousand had been established on the Company's held-to-maturity portfolio. Because of the implicit and explicit guarantees of the U.S. government on the agency and mortgage-backed securities there is no expectation of future losses and no allowance for credit losses has been established for these securities.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost of held-to-maturity municipal bonds aggregated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSRO") credit rating:

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which Management has an intent to sell the security or considers it more likely-than-not that the security in question will be sold prior to a recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security will be written down to fair value through a direct charge to income. For the remainder of available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, which do not meet the previously outlined criteria, Management evaluates whether the decline in fair value is a reflection of credit deterioration or other factors. In performing this evaluation, Management considers the extent to which fair value has fallen below amortized cost, changes in ratings by rating agencies, and other information indicating a deterioration in repayment capacity of either the underlying issuer or the borrowers providing repayment capacity in a securitization. If Management's evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, then a present value of the expected cash flows is calculated and compared to the amortized cost basis of the security in question and to the degree that the amortized cost basis exceeds the present value an ACL is established, with the caveat that the maximum amount of the reserve on any individual security is the difference between the fair value and amortized cost balance of the security in question. Any unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

The following table summarizes available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an ACL has not been recorded:

#### Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") Fund Investments
The Company has the ability to invest in limited partnerships which own housing projects that qualify for federal and/or California state tax credits by mandating a specified percentage of low-income tenants for each project. The primary

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

investment return comes from tax credits that flow through to investors. Because rent levels are lower than standard market rents and the projects are generally highly leveraged, each project also typically generates tax-deductible operating losses allocated to the limited partners for tax purposes.

The Company currently has investments in eight different LIHTC fund limited partnerships made in 2014, 2015, two in 2022, one in 2023, and three in 2024, all of which were California-focused funds that help the Company meet its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act. The Company utilized the cost method of accounting for LIHTC fund investments, which were initially recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as an asset representing the total cash expected to be invested over the life of the partnership. Any commitments or contingent commitments for future investment are reflected as a liability. The income statement reflects tax credits and any other tax benefits from these investments "below the line" within income tax provision, while the initial book value of the investment is amortized on the proportional amortization method as a "below the line" expense, over the time period in which the tax credits and tax benefits are expected to be received.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company's total LIHTC investment book balance was $23.2 million, which is included in "Other Assets" on the consolidated balance sheet. This investment is offset by $11.8 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions, which is included in "Other Liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet. There were approximately $2.2 million in tax credits derived from the Company's LIHTC investments that were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and "below the line" amortization expense of $2.2 million associated with those investments was recorded for the same time period. LIHTC investments are evaluated annually for potential impairment, and the Company concluded the carrying value of the investments is stated fairly and is not impaired.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company's total LIHTC investment book balance was $25.4 million, which includes $20.5 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions. There were $1.8 million in tax credits derived from LIHTC investments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024; "below the line" amortization expense of $1.9 million associated with those investments was netted against pre-tax noninterest income for the same time period.

The Company's investments in qualified affordable housing projects and small business investment companies meet the definition of a variable interest entity, as the entities are structured such that the limited partner investors lack substantive voting rights. Pursuant to the FASB standard on the consolidation of variable interest entities, these investments are not reflected on a consolidated basis in the Company's financial statements.

#### Note 10 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL on the loan portfolio is a valuation allowance deducted from the recorded balance in loans. Under CECL, the ACL represents principal which is not expected to be collected over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments. The ACL is increased by a provision for credit losses charged to expense and by principal recovered on charged-off balances. It is reduced by principal charge-offs. The amount of the allowance is based on Management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, using information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments are also made for changes in risk profile, credit concentrations, historical trends, and other economic conditions.

The Company elected the practical expedient available under CECL to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of all categorizations of loans and, as a result, did not estimate reserves on accrued interest receivable balances, as any past due interest income is reversed on a timely basis. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $7.7 million and $6.1 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively is included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

The majority of the disclosures in this footnote are prepared at the class level, which is equivalent to the call report or call code classification. The final table in this section separates a roll forward of the ACL at the portfolio segment level. Unless specifically noted otherwise, the disclosures in this footnote are prepared on an amortized cost basis.

The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status when Management has determined full repayment of principal and collection of contractually agreed upon interest is unlikely or the loan in question has become delinquent more than 90 days. The Company may decide it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest on certain loans more than 90 days delinquent if they are well-secured by collateral and collection is in process. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest for the loan is reversed out of interest income in the period in which the loan's status changed. For loans with an interest reserve (i.e., loan proceeds are advanced to the borrower to make interest payments) all interest recognized from the inception of the loan is reversed when the loan is placed on nonaccrual. Once a loan is on nonaccrual status, subsequent payments received from the customer are applied to principal, and no further interest income is recognized until the principal has been paid in full or until circumstances have changed such that payments are again consistently received as contractually required. Generally, loans are not restored to accrual status until the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

The Company did not recognize any interest on nonaccrual loans during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, and would have recognized an additional $0.9 million and $0.1 million in interest income on nonaccrual loans during the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, had those loans not been designated as nonaccrual. For the year-to-date periods of 2025 and 2024, the Company would have recognized an additional $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in interest income on nonaccrual loans had those loans not been designated as nonaccrual. Due to loans being placed on nonaccrual status, during the third quarter of 2025, $0.1 million of interest receivable on loans was reversed against interest income, as compared to an immaterial amount during the third quarter of 2024. During the first nine months of 2025, and 2024, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest receivable on loans was reversed against interest income.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

#### Loan Modifications
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, rate reduction, payment deferral, or term extension. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses.

In certain cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on a single loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. For the loans included in the "combination" columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The combination is at least two of the following: principal forgiveness, rate reduction, payment deferral, and/or term extension.

There was an immaterial amount of term extensions for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and none for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans at September 30, 2025, and 2024, that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

There were no payment defaults on loans previously modified in the preceding 12 months for either of the periods ending September 30, 2025, and 2024. For the purpose of this disclosure, the Company defines a payment default as 90 days past due. The Company had $0.1 million in additional funds committed on loans which have been modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of September 30, 2025, and none as of September 30, 2024.

The Company monitors the credit quality of loans on a continuous basis using the regulatory and accounting classifications of pass, special mention, and substandard to characterize and qualify the associated credit risk. Loans classified as "loss" are immediately charged off. The Company uses the following definitions of risk classifications:

● Pass: Includes larger, non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

● Special Mention: Includes loans with 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 Company's credit position at some future date.

● Substandard: Includes loans with clear and well-defined weaknesses, such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial operating results and/or trends, uncertain repayment sources, or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize ultimate recoverability of the debt.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans are loans acquired or purchased, which as of acquisition, had evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no loans categorized as PCD.

The model used for calculating the Company's ACL is reviewed and revised periodically, most recently a full review with modifications in the third quarter of 2024, with a partial review and minimal modifications completed in the third quarter of 2025. In the most recent full review, the Company changed to a Multi-Factor Regression Model from a Single-Factor Regression Model used in previous periods. Additionally, legacy peer groups were expanded to include California banks with an asset size between $1.5 billion to $10 billion. The Company's ACL is calculated quarterly, with any difference in the calculated ACL and the recorded ACL adjusted through an entry to the provision (benefit) for credit losses. For purposes of estimating the Company's ACL, Management generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by call code in order to group loans with similar risk characteristics together; however, Management has grouped loans in selected call codes together in determining portfolio segments, due to similar risk characteristics and reserve methodologies used for certain call code classifications.

Management calculates the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves for all loan categories, with the exception of Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans, using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodology. For Farmland, Agricultural Production, and Consumer categories, a Remaining Life methodology is utilized.

The DCF quantitative reserve methodology incorporates the consideration of probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") estimates to estimate periodic losses. The PD estimates are derived through the application of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to call code specific regression models, derived from the consideration of historical bank-specific and peer loss-rate data. The loss-rate data has been regressed against benchmark economic indicators, for which reasonable and supportable forecasts exist, in the development of the call-code specific regression models. Regression models are updated periodically, in order to pull in more recent loss-rate data. Reasonable and supportable forecasts of the selected economic metric are then input into the regression model to calculate an expected default rate. The expected default rates are then applied to expected monthly loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The Company utilizes a four-quarter forecast period, after which the expected default rates revert to the historical average for each call code, over a four-quarter reversion period, on a straight-line basis. The prepayment assumptions applied to expected cash flow over the contractual life of the loans are estimated based on historical, bank-specific experience, peer data and the consideration of current and expected conditions and circumstances including the level of interest rates. Management may update prepayment assumptions when changing conditions impact Management's estimate or additional historical data indicates a reevaluation is warranted. LGD utilized in the DCF is derived from the application of the Frye-Jacobs theory, which relates LGD to PD based on historical peer data, as calculated by a third-party. Economic forecasts are considered over a four-quarter forecast period, with reversion to mean occurring on a straight-line basis over four quarters. The call code multiple factor regression models utilized as of September 30, 2025, for Residential Real Estate loans relied upon reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate and House Price Index (HPI). The call code multiple factor regression models utilized as of September 30, 2025, for Commercial Real Estate and Other Construction loans relied upon reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Management selected the National Unemployment Rate, HPI, and GDP as the drivers of quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves on loan classes reliant upon the DCF methodology, primarily as a result of high correlation coefficients identified in regression modeling, the availability of forecasts including the quarterly Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) forecast and given the widespread familiarity of stakeholders with these economic metrics.

The quantitative reserves for Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans are calculated using a Remaining Life methodology where the Company's average historical loss-rates are applied to expected loan balances over an estimated remaining life of loans in calculation of the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated loans in these classes. The estimated remaining life is calculated using historical peer data. For the Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer classes of loans, reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate, real GDP and the housing price index are considered through estimation of qualitative reserves.

Management recognizes there are additional factors impacting risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond what is captured in the quantitative portion of reserves on collectively evaluated loans. As current and expected conditions may vary compared

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

with conditions over the historical lookback period, which is utilized in the calculation of quantitative reserves, Management considers whether additional or reduced reserve levels on collectively evaluated loans may be warranted given the consideration of a variety of qualitative factors. Several of the following qualitative factors ("Q-factors") considered by Management reflects the legacy regulatory guidance on Q-factors, whereas several others represent factors unique to the Company or unique to the current time period.

● Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices

● Changes in international, regional, and local economic and business conditions, and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, as reflected in forecasts of the Housing Price Index, Real GDP, and the National Unemployment Rate (Farmland & Agricultural Production and Consumer segments only)

● Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio

● Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending Management and other relevant staff

● Changes in the volume and severity of past due, nonaccruals loans, and adversely classified loans, as reflected in changes of the relative level of loans classified as substandard and special mention

● Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review processes

● Changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans not identified as collateral-dependent

● Changes in loan categorization concentrations

● Other external factors, which include, the influence of peer data on estimated quantitative reserves, residual COVID-19 related risk, expected impact of current and expected inflationary environment, reliance on the National Unemployment rate as opposed to the California unemployment rate in the calculation of quantitative reserves, the expected impact of current and expected geo-political conditions

The qualitative portion of the Company's reserves on collectively evaluated loans are calculated using a combination of numeric frameworks and Management judgment to determine risk categorizations in each of the Q-factors presented above. The amount of qualitative reserves is also contingent upon the historical peer, life-of-loan-equivalent, loss-rate ranges, and the relative weighting of Q-factors according to Management's judgment.

Although collectively evaluated reserves are generally calculated separately at the call code or loan class level, Management has grouped loan classes with similar risk characteristics into the following portfolio segments:

● Residential Real Estate

● Commercial Real Estate

● Farmland & Agricultural Production

● Commercial & Industrial

● Mortgage Warehouse

● Consumer

Loans secured by Residential Real Estate have a different profile from those secured by Commercial Real Estate. Generally, the borrowers for Residential Real Estate loans are consumers, whereas borrowers for Commercial Real Estate are often businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated how these different categories of real estate loans were subject to different risks, which was exacerbated by the widespread work-from-home model adopted by many companies during and since the pandemic. Farmland and Agricultural Production loans are included in a single segment as these loans are oftentimes to the same borrowers, facing the same risks relating to commodity prices, water supply and drought conditions, in addition to other environmental concerns. Commercial & Industrial loans are separated into a separate segment given the uniqueness of these loans, which are often revolving and secured by business assets other than real estate. Mortgage Warehouse loans warrant presentation as an individual portfolio segment given the specific nature of these constantly

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

revolving lines to mortgage originators and due to a very limited loss history, even after consideration of peer data. Finally, Consumer loans are split out as a result of the small balance, homogeneous terms that characterize these loans.

Management individually evaluates loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans when estimating reserves. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the only loans Management considered to have different risk characteristics from other loans sharing the same call report code were loans designated as nonaccrual.

#### Note 11 – Goodwill
The balance of goodwill at the three-and-nine months beginning and ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was $27.4 million. There was no acquired goodwill for the three-and-nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests annually, or more often if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The annual assessment date was changed to October 1 in 2023 to allow more time for evaluation of impairment.

The Company performed its annual Step 1 goodwill impairment assessment subsequent to the September 30, 2025 period end, effective as of October 1, 2025, using a market approach. Based on the results of the Company's goodwill impairment assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting unit, which was at the consolidated level, exceeded the carrying value. Management continues to evaluate whether or not a triggering event occurs, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount before the next annual test in 2025 and has concluded no such events have occurred. Therefore, goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2025, and there were no impairment charges related to the Company's goodwill recorded during the three-and-nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.

#### Note 12 – Borrowings and Other Arrangements
**Repurchase Agreements –** Repurchase agreements represent "sweep accounts," where commercial deposit balances above a specified threshold are transferred at the close of each business day into separate non-deposit accounts. Customers use balances of the non-deposit accounts to purchase government bonds from the Company daily, subject to an agreement from the Company to repurchase such securities the next business day. Repurchase agreements totaled $125.7 million at September 30, 2025, relative to a balance of $108.9 million at December 31, 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Long-Term Debt** – The Company has long-term debt in the form of fixed to floating rate subordinated debentures with a fixed rate of 3.25% until September 30, 2026, then floating rate at 253.5 basis points over 3-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") until maturity on October 1, 2031. The balance of the Company's long-term debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, was $49.5 million at September 30, 2025, and $49.4 million at December 31, 2024.

**Subordinated Debentures** – Sierra Statutory Trust II ("Trust II"), Sierra Capital Trust III ("Trust III"), and Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II ("Trust IV"), (collectively, the "Trusts") exist solely for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are not consolidated, and the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Subordinated Debentures") held by the Trusts and issued and guaranteed by the Company are reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 810. Trust preferred securities are variable rate instruments which were benchmarked against the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread until LIBOR was phased out on June 30, 2023. These instruments are benchmarked against the SOFR, effective June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company's trust preferred securities totaled $36.0 million and $35.8 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company's other borrowings as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

The Company has established secured and unsecured lines of credit under which it may borrow funds from time to time on a term or overnight basis from the FHLB, FRB, and other correspondent banks.

**Federal Funds Purchased** – The Company had lines of credit with its correspondent banks which, in the aggregate, amounted to $485.8 million unsecured and $25.0 million secured at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, at fixed interest rates which vary with market conditions. There was $25.0 million in outstanding overnight balances under these lines of credit at September 30, 2025, and none at December 31, 2024.

**Secured FHLB Borrowings** – At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had secured available lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $623.8 million and $629.1 million, respectively, based on eligible collateral of certain loans and investment securities.

**Federal Reserve Line of Credit** – The Company has an available line of credit with the FRB of San Francisco secured by certain loans and investments. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had borrowing capacity under this line totaling $266.4 million and $298.3 million, respectively. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

#### Note 13 – Revenue Recognition
The Company utilizes the guidance found in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), when accounting for certain noninterest income. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Sufficient information should be provided to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company's revenue streams that are within the scope of and accounted for under Topic 606 include service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange fees, and fees levied for other services the Company provides its customers. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

loans and investments, and other noninterest income such as loan servicing fees and earnings on bank-owned life insurance, which are accounted for on an accrual basis under other provisions of GAAP.

All of the Company's revenue from contracts within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized as noninterest income. Due to the short-term nature of the Company's contracts with customers, an insignificant amount of receivables related to such revenue was recorded at September 30, 2025, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The following table presents the Company's sources of noninterest income. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such (dollars in thousands, unaudited).

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Not within scope of ASC 606. Revenue streams are not related to contracts with customers and are accounted for under other provisions of GAAP.

With regard to noninterest income associated with customer contracts, the Company has determined that transaction prices are fixed, and performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered, thus there is little or no judgment involved in the timing of revenue recognition under contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606.

#### PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

#### ITEM 2

#### MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND

#### ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

#### AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

#### FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as amended. Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance as long as important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results are identified with meaningful cautionary statements. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "projects," "intends," and "estimates" or variations of such words and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs preceded by "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may" are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain underlying assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, as they could be impacted by several potential risks and developments that cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.

These statements are based on Management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, regulatory, and other environmental issues that may affect earnings in future periods. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, forecast in, or implied by such forward-looking statements.

A variety of factors could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations and should be considered when evaluating the Company's potential future financial performance. They include, but are not limited to:

● risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, including the impact on other comprehensive income, the ability for customers to repay on floating or adjustable rates loans, and the impact on costs and demand of deposits and funding, the impact on interest income on earning assets, the impact on valuations of collateral on loans, and the impact on fair value of longer-term assets;

● risks associated with inflation (including efforts by the FOMC of the FRB to control the same);

● the risk of unfavorable economic conditions in the Company's market areas, or the impact on the Company's market areas of national or international economic conditions or changes to economic policies, including tariffs and trade agreements;

● risks associated with a U.S. Government shutdown, including delays in regulatory reviews, approvals, or rulemaking from federal agencies, reduced access to government economic data and reports which could affect our ability to assess risk and make informed investment or risk management decisions, heightened volatility or reduced liquidity in financial markets, credit and counterparty risk exposure in connection with clients or counterparties that rely on government funding or contracts, and diminished investor and consumer confidence which could reduce demand for financial products;

● liquidity risks, including the ability to effectively manage the potential loss of deposits, the ability to maintain funding lines of credit, and the loss of value of unencumbered investment securities;

● increases in nonperforming assets and credit losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or rising interest rates;

● the impact of adverse developments at other banks, including bank failures, which impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● risks associated with the multitude of, or changes to, current and prospective banking laws and regulations, and related interpretations, to which the Company is and will be subject;

● operational risks including the ability to detect and prevent financial reporting errors, operations errors, and fraud;

● the Company's ability to diversify and grow its loan portfolio;

● the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled employees;

● the Company's ability to successfully deploy new technology and manage cyber security risks;

#### CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLIC Y AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial information and disclosures contained within those statements are significantly impacted by Management's estimates and judgments, which are based on historical experience and incorporate various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates under divergent conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments which have the greatest potential impact on the Company's stated results of operations. In Management's opinion, the Company's has identified one critical accounting policy:

● the establishment of the allowance for credit losses, including the valuation of individually evaluated loans, as explained in detail in Notes 8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements and in the "Provision for Credit Losses" and "Allowance for Credit Losses" sections of this discussion and analysis

Critical accounting areas are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the Company's financial statements incorporate its most recent expectations regarding those areas.

#### OVERVIEW OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

#### AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

#### RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY

#### Third Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2024
Third quarter 2025 net income was $9.7 million, and $0.72 per diluted share as compared to $10.6 million, and $0.74 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024. The Company's annualized return on average equity was 10.81% and annualized return on average assets was 1.04% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 11.95% and 1.14%,

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

respectively, for the same quarter in 2024. The primary drivers behind the variance in third quarter net income are as follows:

● Net income for the third quarter of 2025 decreased $0.9 million, or 9%, to $9.7 million. Net interest income improved $1.2 million, or 4%, and noninterest income increased $0.3 million. These favorable changes were offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $2.3 million, and an increase in noninterest expense of $0.8 million, or 4%.

● The $1.2 million increase in net interest income was due to a 12 basis point increase in net interest margin driven by a 27 basis point decrease in the cost of funds.

● The provision for credit losses was $3.7 million for the quarter, an increase of $2.3 million, primarily due to an increase in individual reserves during the third quarter of 2025, due to a single agricultural production property.

● Noninterest expense was $0.8 million higher in the third quarter over the same quarter last year due to an increase in salaries and benefits, and occupancy costs.

● Included in the line-item changes from the third quarter of 2024 was the increase of $0.3 million in income from corporate owned life insurance income invested to offset the $0.3 million increase in deferred compensation costs.

**First Nine Months of 2025 Compared to First Nine Months of 2024**

● Net income decreased $0.8 million, or 3%. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase of $4.6 million in provision for credit losses. This decline was partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million in net interest income, due mostly to a 25 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. A favorable decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits of 29 basis points and decreases in the average balances of those deposits had the biggest impact on the increase in net interest income. While the Company experienced lower yields and balances on investments, this was mostly offset by increases in yields and balances on loans. Noninterest income decreased by $0.8 million and noninterest expense decreased by $0.2 million.

● The provision for credit losses was $7.0 million, an increase of $4.6 million, primarily for the reasons stated above.

● Noninterest income decreased by $0.8 million, or 3%, driven by the net $0.6 million gain from the balance sheet restructuring at the beginning of 2024, with no similar transaction in 2025, and a $0.6 million decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances was a $0.8 million gain on life insurance during the first nine months of 2025.

● Noninterest expense decreased $0.2 million, due mostly to decreases in professional services and lower sundry losses, partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits and occupancy costs.

● Included in the line-item changes from the same period in 2024 was the decrease of $0.5 million in income from corporate owned life insurance income invested to offset the $0.5 million decrease in deferred compensation costs.

#### FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY

#### September 30, 2025 Relative to December 31, 2024
The Company's assets totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $95.1 million, or 3.0% from December 31, 2024. The following provides a summary of key balance sheet changes during the first nine months of 2025:

● Investment securities decreased $70.0 million, or 7.0%, to $891.4 million primarily due to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), continuing to aggressively payoff due to tightening spreads and the ability of the issuers to reissue with a lower spread. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds have partially offset

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

the run-off of CLOs. Corporate bonds have preferential yields over other types of securities, and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities fit the Company's asset neutrality position.

● Gross loans increased $160.4 million, due mostly to a $126.3 million increase in mortgage warehouse line utilization, as well as $46.9 million of growth in commercial real estate loans, a $7.9 million increase in other construction loans, and a $7.6 million increase in other commercial loans. This favorable growth was partially offset by an $18.2 million decline in residential real estate loans, a $9.7 million decrease in farmland, and a $0.4 million reduction in consumer loans.

● Deposits totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025, representing a year-to-date increase of $41.1 million, or 1%. The growth in deposits came mostly from a $65.7 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $60.6 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits. The increases were partially offset by decreases in customer time deposits and brokered deposits of $57.3 million and $40.0 million, respectively.

● Overnight borrowings increased $55.0 million and customer repurchase agreements increased $16.9 million.

● Total capital of $360.1 million at September 30, 2025, reflects an increase of $2.8 million, relative to year-end 2024. The increase in equity during the first nine months of 2025 was due to the addition of $29.4 million in net income, a $6.1 million favorable swing in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss due principally to changes in investment securities' fair value, partially offset by $24.3 million in share repurchases and $10.3 million in dividends paid. The remaining difference is related to the impact of equity compensation.

#### EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on deposits and other borrowed money. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of customer service charges and fees but also comes from non-customer sources such as BOLI, equity investments, and investment gains. The majority of the Company's noninterest expense is comprised of operating costs that facilitate offering a full range of banking services to its customers.

#### NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income was $32.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, a $1.2 million increase, or 4% over the third quarter of 2024, and increased $3.1 million, or 3%, to $92.7 million for the first nine months of 2025 relative to the same period in 2024.

For the third quarter of 2025, there was a 35 basis point decrease in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities combined with a $17.9 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Although the balance of average interest-earning assets was $7.2 million higher, the yield was 13 basis points lower as compared to the same period in 2024, which partially offset the favorable variances on the liability side.

Net interest income for the comparative year-to-date periods increased $3.1 million, or 3%, due primarily to a decrease of 25 basis points in the cost of funds of average interest-bearing liabilities combined with an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $43.5 million. There was a $193.8 million, or 9%, increase in average loan balances yielding 19 basis points higher for the same period, while average investment balances decreased $150.3 million, yielding 78 basis points lower for the same period. The decline in average investment balances was mostly due to calls of collateralized loan obligations in 2025. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $4.9 million, mostly in higher cost customer time deposits and brokered deposits, offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits and borrowed funds. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 25 basis points lower for the comparative periods. The favorable net impact of the mix and rate change was a 7 basis point increase in our net interest margin for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Interest expense was $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $2.0 million, relative to the third quarter of 2024. For the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, interest expense decreased $4.2 million to

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

$35.4 million. The decrease in interest expense for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was attributable to a decrease in higher cost customer time deposits and brokered deposits, along with a net overall interest rate decrease in customer deposit account balances. These decreases were partially offset by increases in other borrowed funds. For the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, the average balance of higher cost customer time deposits and brokered deposits decreased $78.6 million, while low to no cost transaction account balances increased $93.6 million and borrowed funds increased $16.3 million.

The Company had $1.8 billion in adjustable and variable rate loans and $268.0 million in floating rate bonds, as compared to $245.0 million in floating rate CDs and $36.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities at September 30, 2025. The adjustable-rate loans have repricing frequencies ranging from 30-days to 10-years. Of the $1.8 billion in adjustable and variable rate loans, $779.9 million reprice or mature in the next twelve months. In addition, there were $642.8 million of fixed-term deposits that reprice or mature within twelve months. Based on current rates, of the $779.9 million in adjustable and variable rate loans that reprice or mature over the next twelve months, $117.1 million, or 15%, have a pricing index rate higher than the current index, while $146.1 million, or 19%, have a pricing index rate lower than the current index. The remaining balance of $516.7 million are priced at the current index rate or are expected to mature.

Net interest margin was 3.78% for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to 3.66% for the third quarter of 2024, and 3.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 3.66% for the same period last year. The main reason for the improvement of net interest margin for both the quarter and year-to-date comparisons was a significant decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities. For the quarterly comparison there was a 35 basis point favorable decline in cost of interest-bearing liabilities complemented by a decrease of $17.9 million in the average balance of the same accounts. While the yield of interest-earning assets decreased 13 basis points during the same comparative period, the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $7.2 million.

The level of net interest income recognized in any given period depends on a combination of factors including the average volume and yield for interest-earning assets, the average volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company's earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables show average balances for significant balance sheet categories and the amount of interest income or interest expense associated with each category for the noted periods. The tables also display calculated yields on each major component of the Company's investment and loan portfolios, average rates paid on each key segment of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, and net interest margin for the noted periods.

The Volume and Rate Variances table below sets forth the dollar difference for the comparative periods in interest earned or paid for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of such change attributable to fluctuations in average balances (volume) or differences in average interest rates. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balances multiplied by prior period rates, and rate variances are equal to the change in rates multiplied by prior period average balances. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes, calculated by multiplying the change in rates by the change in average balances, have been allocated to the mix variance.

The volume variance calculated for the third quarter of 2025 relative to the third quarter of 2024 was a favorable $1.1 million; this is primarily from the net impact of a favorable loan volume variance of $2.8 million offset by an unfavorable volume reduction in investment securities of $2.2 million. This was augmented by a favorable net volume reduction in interest-bearing liabilities. There was an unfavorable rate variance on investment securities, which was mostly to the variable rate investments, in the form of CLOs, substantially offsetting the favorable rate variances in loans and interest-bearing liabilities.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The net interest income variance calculated for the first nine months of 2025 relative to the first nine months of 2024 reflects a favorable volume variance of $4.2 million, an unfavorable rate variance of $1.0 million, and an unfavorable mix variance of $0.1 million. There were increases in loan balances for a favorable volume variance of $10.4 million which more than offset a $6.3 million volume decrease in investments, due to calls and pay-offs of CLOs. There was a $1.1 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in borrowed funds. There was an unfavorable rate variance on interest earning assets of $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2025 partially offset by a favorable $4.2 million rate decrease in interest earning liabilities.

Average interest earning cash balances for the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons have decreased and have a positive impact on the net interest margin since cash balances have been earning approximately 4.34% and have been deployed into mortgage warehouse line advances yielding 7.08%. Average interest-earning cash and due from banks was $31.7 million, a decrease of $56.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period last year.

Overall average investment securities decreased by $101.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, as paydowns and maturities exceeded purchases, with the excess used to partially offset brokered deposit maturities. The overall investment portfolio had a tax-equivalent yield of 4.73% at September 30, 2025, with an average life of 6.01 years and average effective duration of 2.42 years for available-for-sale securities. Approximately $230.1 million of investment securities reprice every 90 days and $80.2 million are subordinated debt with an initial fixed rate period of 5 years and floating thereafter.

Variances in interest expense were the result of changes discussed under the "Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin" heading.

#### PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS
Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company sets aside an allowance for credit losses on loans, a contra-asset account, through periodic charges to earnings, which are reflected in the income statement as the provision for credit losses on loans. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable loan losses are immediately charged off against the allowance, with subsequent recoveries reflected as an increase to the allowance. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The year-to-date provision for credit losses on loans was $6.9 million in 2025, as compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $2.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses on loans in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the third quarter of 2024, and the $4.6 million year-to-date increase in the provision for credit losses on loans, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the addition of $3.5 million in individual reserves mostly related to a single agricultural production loan, in the third quarter of 2025. At September 30, 2025, such agricultural production loan had a remaining book balance of $3.5 million with an associated individual reserve of $3.5 million fully offsetting such loan. See "Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans" for additional information on this credit.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is at a level that, in Management's judgment, is adequate to absorb probable credit losses on loans related to individually identified loans as well as probable credit losses in the remaining loan portfolio.

The Company's policies for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, determining loan balances that should be charged off, and other detailed information with regard to changes in the allowance are discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, and below, under "Allowance for Credit Losses." The process utilized to establish an appropriate credit allowance for losses on loans can result in a high degree of variability in the Company's credit loss provision, and consequently in net earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Annualized

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

*Noninterest Income:*

Total noninterest income increased $0.3 million, or 3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same quarter in 2024, and decreased $0.8 million, or 3%, for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The year-to-date decline was impacted by a decrease in service charge income on deposit accounts, unfavorable fluctuations in income on Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) with underlying investments mapped directly to the Company's deferred compensation plan and a net gain on the balance sheet restructure in early 2024 with no similar transaction in 2025. Offsetting these unfavorable variances was an increase in other income which was related to life insurance proceeds received in 2025 with no like proceeds in 2024.

Service charges and fees on customer deposit accounts declined by $0.1 million, or 2%, to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, and declined by $0.6 million, or 3% for the year-to-date comparison. Lower analysis fees, returned check charges, and interchange on debit cards were the primary drivers of the unfavorable variance in both the quarterly and year-to-date variances.

In the "other" category of noninterest income there was no change in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, and a $1.0 million increase for the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. Life insurance proceeds received in 2025 accounted for most of the favorable variance for the year-to-date comparison.

*Noninterest Expense:*

Total noninterest expense increased by $0.8 million, or 4%, in the third quarter of 2025, relative to the third quarter of 2024, and decreased by $0.2 million for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Salaries and Benefits were $0.5 million, or 4%, higher in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, and $0.8 million higher for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The Company implemented a strategic reorganization at the end of the third quarter of 2025 which resulted in a reduction in force, accompanied by $0.2 million in severance payments. The remaining increase for both the quarter and year-over-year periods was mostly due to a change in composition in the workforce. There were 476 full-time equivalent employees at September 30, 2025, as compared to 485 at December 31, 2024.

Occupancy expenses increased by $0.2 million for the third quarter, and the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases in both comparisons were primarily due to increased property taxes related to the updated assessed values of the properties involved in the sale/leaseback transaction in early 2024.

Other noninterest expense was relatively unchanged for the third quarter 2024, as compared to the third quarter in 2024, and decreased $1.2 million, or 5%, for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the year-over-year comparison the decrease was primarily driven by decreases in directors' deferred compensation expense and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

legal and accounting services of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The remaining decrease was related to lower data processing costs and reduced debit card losses.

#### PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company sets aside a provision for income taxes on a monthly basis. The amount of that provision is determined by first applying the Company's statutory income tax rates to estimated taxable income, which is pre-tax book income adjusted for permanent differences, and then subtracting available tax credits. Permanent differences include, but are not limited to, tax-exempt interest income, BOLI income, and certain book expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions. Tax credits consist primarily of those generated by investments in low-income housing tax credit funds. The Company's provision for income taxes was 23.6% of pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2025, relative to 26.4% in the third quarter of 2024, and 24.9% of pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2025 relative to 26.8% for the same period in 2024.

The decrease in effective tax rate for both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons was due to the tax credits and tax-exempt income representing a larger percentage of total taxable income.

#### BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

#### EARNING ASSETS
The Company's interest-earning assets are comprised of loans and investments, including overnight investments and surplus balances held in interest-earning accounts in its FRB account. The composition, growth characteristics, and credit quality of both of those components are significant determinants of the Company's financial condition. Investments are analyzed in the section immediately below, while the loan portfolio and other factors affecting earning assets are discussed in the sections following investments.

#### INVESTMENTS
The Company's investments may at any given time consist of debt securities and marketable equity securities (together, the "investment portfolio"), investments in the time deposits of other banks, surplus interest-earning balances in its FRB account, and overnight fed funds sold. The Company's investments can serve several purposes, including the following: 1) they can provide liquidity for potential funding needs; 2) they provide a source of pledged assets for securing public deposits, bankruptcy deposits and certain borrowed funds which require collateral; 3) they constitute a large base of assets with structural characteristics that can be changed more readily than loan or deposit portfolios, as might be required for interest rate risk management purposes; 4) they are another interest-earning option for the placement of surplus funds when loan demand is light; and 5) they can provide partially tax exempt income.

The investment portfolio is reflected on the balance sheet as investment securities and totaled $891.4 million, or 24% of total assets at September 30, 2025, and $961.5 million, or 27% of total assets at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to maturities and paydowns, partially used to offset brokered deposit maturities.

The Company carries "available-for-sale" investments at their fair market values and "held-to-maturity" investments at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. The Company currently has the intent and ability to hold investment securities to maturity, but the securities are all marketable. The expected effective duration was 2.4 years for available-for-sale investments and 5.9 years for held-to-maturity investments at September 30, 2025, as compared to 1.5 years for available-for-sale investments and 6.0 years for held-to-maturity investments at December 31, 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The following table sets forth the carrying amount for available-for-sale securities, at fair value, and held-to-maturity securities, at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses of the Company's investment portfolio by investment type as of the dates noted:

Investment securities pledged as collateral for borrowings and/or potential borrowings from the FHLB and the FRB, customer repurchase agreements, and other purposes as required or permitted by law totaled $403.7 million at September 30, 2025, and $403.4 million at December 31, 2024, leaving $487.7 million in unpledged debt securities at September 30, 2025, and $558.1 million at December 31, 2024. Securities pledged in excess of actual pledging needs and thus available for liquidity purposes, if needed, totaled $230.6 million at September 30, 2025, and $242.2 million at December 31, 2024.

*ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – AFS INVESTMENT SECURITIES*

The allowance for credit losses on AFS investment securities, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on AFS investment securities. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses across the classes of major investment security types related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit value. The Company maintains it has intent and ability to hold these securities until the amortized cost basis of each security is recovered and likewise concluded as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 following bullets outline additional support for Management's conclusion that no amount of the unrealized loss of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was attributable to credit deterioration and a risk of loss, requiring an allowance for credit losses.

● U.S. government agencies are supported by the full faith and creditworthiness of the U.S. federal government and Management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

● Mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") carry an implicit guarantee by the U.S. federal government, as the GSEs can draw funds from the U.S. federal government up to a limit, with an implied ability to draw funds beyond the limit. Management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

● Management routinely monitors third party credit grades of the municipal issuers in the Company's state and political subdivisions portfolio. On a quarterly basis Management receives financial information from a third-party service in order to monitor the underlying issuer's financial stability. In addition, Management performs annual reviews of the underlying municipal issuers financial statements in order to evaluate stability and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

repayment capacity and has noted no concerns with any of the bonds in the Company's state and local portfolio. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 Management concluded that no allowance for credit losses was warranted on any of the Company's municipal securities and the unrealized loss position of each of the securities reflected fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, since the time of purchase.

● The Company has invested in corporate debt issuances of other financial institutions. Various financial metrics, including credit quality, reserve adequacy, profitability and capital, of each of the issuing financial institutions are reviewed by Management quarterly. Following review of the financial metrics available for each of the underlying institutions as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Management concluded the unrealized loss position of these securities were related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rates, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the issuing financial institution. These bonds were subject to a credit review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews.

● The Company has invested exclusively in AA and AAA tranches of various collateralized loan obligations, which are securitizations of commercial loans. Each purchase is subject to a credit, concentration, and structure review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews. Management monitors the credit rating, in addition to various performance metrics available through a third-party informational service, of these investments on a quarterly basis. Following review of financial metrics as of both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Management concluded that the unrealized loss position of these securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rate spreads due to changes in supply or demand, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the tranches comprising the Company's investments.

#### LOAN PORTFOLIO
A distribution of the Company's loans showing the balance and percentage of loans by type is presented for the noted periods in the table below. The balances in the table are after deferred or unamortized loan origination, extension, or commitment fees, and deferred origination costs. While not reflected in the loan totals and not currently comprising a material segment of lending activities, the Company also occasionally originates and sells, or participates out portions of loans to non-affiliated investors.

Gross loans held at amortized cost totaled $2.5 billion, an increase of $160.4 million, or 7%, during the first nine months of 2025. Organic loan growth contributed to increases of $46.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $7.9 million in construction loan balances, and $7.6 million in other commercial loans. Mortgage warehouse line utilization increased $126.3 million, or 39%. Consumer loans had a modest decline, while residential real estate loans decreased $18.2 million, and farmland loans decreased $9.7 million.

As indicated in the loan rollforward table below, new credit extended for the third quarter of 2025, remained flat on a linked-quarter basis, decreased $13.2 million over the same period in 2024, and increased $26.1 million for the year-to-date comparisons. The Company had $121.5 million in loan paydowns and maturities; however, mortgage warehouse utilization of $126.3 million had a positive impact in the first nine months of 2025.

At September 30, 2025, the total regulatory CRE concentration ratio of total CRE over Tier 1 Capital plus allowance was 242.7% as compared to 236.3% at December 31, 2024. The overall level of construction and land development lending was 2.9% of regulatory capital plus allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, non-owner occupied commercial real estate includes $306.8 million of retail; $143.5 million of warehouse/industrial; $157.5 million of office; and $231.3 million of hospitality. Approximately $34.6 million, or 22% of the office real estate matures or reprices in less than two years.

Unused commitments, excluding mortgage warehouse and overdraft lines, were $263.1 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $256.9 million at December 31, 2024. Total line utilization, excluding mortgage warehouse and overdraft lines, was 57.9% at September 30, 2025, and 57.0% at December 31, 2024. Mortgage warehouse utilization increased to 59.4% at September 30, 2025, as compared to 51.2% at December 31, 2024.

The mortgage warehouse lines are structured as repurchase agreement lines. The repurchase agreement structure provides stronger credit protection to the Company, as well as more favorable regulatory capital treatment, as these repurchase lines are not considered off-balance sheet commitments for regulatory capital purposes as they are unconditionally cancellable.

Total nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets, improved with a favorable decline of $3.8 million to $15.8 million for the first nine months of 2025. The Company's ratio of nonperforming loans to gross loans decreased to 0.56% at September 30, 2025, from 0.84% at December 31, 2024. This favorable year-to-date decline resulted from a decrease in non-accrual loan balances, due mostly to the partial charge-off of one agricultural production loan in the second quarter of 2025. All the Company's nonperforming assets are individually evaluated for credit loss quarterly and Management believes the established allowance for credit loss on such loans is appropriate.

Foreclosed assets had a carrying value of $1.8 million at September 30, 2025 comprised of one property classified as Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). There were no foreclosed assets at December 31, 2024. All foreclosed assets are periodically evaluated and written down to their fair value less expected disposition costs, if lower than the then-current carrying value.

An action plan is in place for each non-accruing loan, and they are all being actively managed. Collection efforts are continuously pursued for all nonperforming loans, but the Company cannot provide assurance that they will be resolved in a timely manner or that nonperforming balances will not increase.

The Company had $0.2 million in loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing at September 30, 2025. This was a decrease of $1.2 million over the balance at December 31, 2024. All of these past due loans are under Management supervision and every effort is being taken to assist the borrowers and manage credit risk in this regard.

#### ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – LOANS
The allowance for credit losses on loans, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on loans. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses on individually identified loans, as well as expected losses inherent in the remaining loan portfolio. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance; recoveries are generally recorded only when sufficient cash payments are received subsequent to the charge-off.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company's allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was $25.2 million at September 30, 2025, as compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase resulted from a $3.5 million increase in specific individual reserves on impaired loans on a single agricultural production loan in the third quarter of 2025, offset by a $5.3 million partial charge-off on the same loan in the second quarter of 2025, which had a $3.0 million specific individual reserve at December 31, 2024. Such agricultural production loan was in the wine grape industry and had a remaining book balance of $3.5 million at September 30, 2025, with a full individual reserve of $3.5 million offsetting the remaining balance. In addition to this loan, the Bank had $19.2 million in outstanding agricultural production loans in the winery and grape industry at September 30, 2025, of which $1.7 million were grapes. None of the remaining $19.2 million in wine and grape production loans were classified as special mention or substandard.

The allowance as a percentage of gross loans was 1.01% and 1.07%, at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Management's detailed analysis indicates that the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans should be sufficient to cover credit losses for the life of the loans outstanding as of September 30, 2025, but no assurance can be given that the Company will not experience substantial future losses relative to the size of the credit loss allowance for loans. The total allowance for credit losses on loans of $25.2 million at September 30, 2025, included $0.5 million of allowance related to $452.7 million of mortgage warehouse lines. A separate allowance of $0.8 million for potential credit losses inherent in unused commitments is included in other liabilities at September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.1 million, from December 31, 2024.

#### OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company maintains commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business, as long as there are no violations of conditions established in the outstanding contractual arrangements. It is unlikely that all unused commitments will ultimately be drawn down. Unused commitments to extend credit, which included standby letters of credit, totaled $641.8 million at September 30, 2025, and $641.5 million at December 31, 2024, representing approximately 26% of gross loans outstanding at September 30, 2025, and 28% at December 31, 2024. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines, which are mostly in the form of repurchase lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $308.8 million at September 30, 2025, and $311.6 million at December 31, 2024, while mortgage warehouse utilization was 59% and 51%, respectively.

The increase in mortgage warehouse utilization during the first nine months of 2025 was due to new customers added in the mortgage warehouse product that ramped up their utilization. Unused commitments, exclusive of mortgage warehouse lines and overdraft lines of credit, increased to 58% at September 30, 2025 from 57% at December 31, 2024. Total mortgage warehouse commitments increased by $25.0 million and $123.5 million for the three-and-nine-month periods ending September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Company also had undrawn letters of credit issued to customers totaling $4.3 million at September 30, 2025, and $5.0 million at December 31, 2024. The effect on the Company's revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will ever be used. However, the "Liquidity" section in this Form 10-Q outlines resources available to draw upon should the Company be required to fund a significant portion of unused commitments.

In addition to unused commitments to provide credit, the Company is utilizing a $125 million letter of credit issued by the FHLB on the Company's behalf as security for certain local agency deposits which totaled $85.3 million at September 30, 2025. That letter of credit is backed by loans pledged to the FHLB by the Company. For more information on the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements located elsewhere herein.

#### OTHER ASSETS
Interest-earning cash balances were discussed above in the "Investments" section, but the Company also maintains a certain level of cash on hand in the normal course of business, as well as non-earning deposits at other financial institutions. The Company's balance of cash and due from banks depends on the timing of collection of outstanding cash items (checks), the amount of cash held in the branches, and the reserve requirement among other things, and it is subject to significant fluctuations in the normal course of business. While cash flows are normally predictable within limits, those limits are fairly broad and the Company manages its short-term cash position through the utilization of overnight loans to, and borrowings from, correspondent banks, including the FRB and the FHLB. Should a large "short" overnight position persist for any length of time, the Company typically raises money through focused retail deposit gathering efforts or by adding brokered time deposits. If a "long" position is prevalent, the Company could let brokered deposits or other wholesale borrowings roll off as they mature, or invest excess liquidity into investments or loans, subject to the Company's risk tolerances. The Company's balance of non-earning cash and due from banks was $81.8 million at September 30, 2025, relative to $79.6 million at December 31, 2024.

Foreclosed assets are discussed above in the section titled "Nonperforming Assets."

Net premises and equipment decreased by $0.4 million during the first nine months of 2025, to $15.1 million. This decline was mostly a result of depreciation in the first nine months of 2025.

Goodwill was $27.4 million at September 30, 2025, unchanged during the first nine months of 2025. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, unless events and circumstances exist which indicate that an impairment test should be performed. The annual goodwill impairment test was last performed on October 1, 2025, and it was determined that no impairment existed. Management continues to evaluate whether or not a triggering event occurs, or circumstances change

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount before the next annual test in 2025.

Bank-owned life insurance, with a balance of $68.7 million at September 30, 2025, increased $15.6 million during the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the purchase of additional life insurance policies. Additional details are discussed above in the "Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense" section.

The remainder of other assets consists primarily of right-of-use assets tied to operating leases, accrued interest receivable, deferred taxes, investments in bank stocks, prepaid assets, investments in low-income housing credits, investments in SBA loan funds, and other miscellaneous assets. Bank stocks include Pacific Coast Bankers Bank (PCBB) stock (marked to market value annually) and restricted stock related to the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB SF) stock held in conjunction with our FHLB borrowings. Both the PCBB and FHLB SF stock are not deemed to be marketable or liquid. Our net deferred tax asset is evaluated as of every reporting date pursuant to FASB guidance, and we have determined that no impairment exists.

#### DEPOSITS AND INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

#### DEPOSITS
Deposits represent a key balance sheet category impacting the Company's profitability metrics. Deposits provide liquidity to fund growth in earning assets, and the Company's net interest margin is improved to the extent that growth in deposits is concentrated in less volatile and typically less costly non-maturity accounts, such as demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market demand accounts. Information concerning average balances and rates paid by deposit type is included in the Average Balances and Rates tables appearing above, in the section titled "Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin." A distribution of the Company's deposits by type, showing the period-end balance and percentage of total deposits, is presented as of the dates indicated in the following table.

Deposit balances reflect growth of $41.1 million, or 1%, during the first nine months of 2025. Core non-maturity deposits increased by $138.4 million, or 7%, while customer time deposits decreased by $57.3 million, or 11%. Wholesale brokered deposits decreased by $40.0 million, or 15%. Overall noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits at September 30, 2025, increased to 36.6%, as compared to 34.8% at December 31, 2024.

Overall uninsured deposits are estimated to be $748.1 million, or 26% of total deposit balances, excluding public agency deposits that are subject to collateralization through a letter of credit issued by the FHLB. In addition, uninsured deposits of the bank's customers are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance if the customer opens an IntraFi Insured Cash Sweep account or a reciprocal time deposit through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System (CDARS). IntraFi allows for up to $285 million of combined pass-through FDIC insurance which would more than cover each of the Bank's deposit customers if a customer desired to have such pass-through insurance. The Bank maintains a diversified deposit base with no significant customer concentrations and does not bank any cryptocurrency companies. At September 30, 2025, the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Company had approximately 117,000 accounts, and the 25 largest deposit balance customers had balances of approximately 11% of overall deposits*.*

#### OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
Customer repurchase agreements were $125.7 million at September 30, 2025, as compared to $108.9 million at December 31, 2024. Customer repurchase agreements allow customers to sweep excess deposit balances over the FDIC insurance limit each day into a separate repurchase agreement account. Monies in that account are used daily by the customer to purchase specific government debt securities from the Company under an agreement from the Company to repurchase the same securities from the customer on the next business day. These accounts are not deposits and are not FDIC insured. However, the repurchase agreement provides a customer with a larger account balance to have their account effectively secured with US government securities.

At September 30, 2025 the Company had $55.0 million in overnight borrowings, and $80.0 million of term FHLB borrowings, as compared to $80.0 million of term FHLB borrowings on December 31, 2024.

Long-term debt at September 30, 2025, consisted of $49.5 million of subordinated debt. This remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2024. Subordinated debentures related to $36.0 million of trust preferred securities at September 30, 2025, was $0.1 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The small increase resulted from the amortization of the discount on junior subordinated debentures that were part of the Company's acquisition of Coast Bancorp in 2016. Trust preferred securities are variable rate instruments benchmarked against the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

#### OTHER NONINTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
Other liabilities are principally comprised of operating lease right-of-use liabilities, accrued interest payable, other accrued but unpaid expenses, and certain clearing amounts. The Company's balance of other liabilities was $69.6 million at September 30, 2025, as compared to $90.5 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $20.9 million or 23%. The decrease was primarily driven by investment security purchases in process that settled, ICS transactions in process that settled, funds advanced on low-income housing tax credit investments, and a decrease in accrued interest on time deposits.

#### LIQUIDITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

#### LIQUIDITY
The Company continues to have substantial liquidity through unencumbered assets and available borrowings. In addition, the Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 85% at September 30, 2025, and 81% at December 31, 2024, compared to an internal policy guideline of less than 90%.

Liquidity management refers to the Company's ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet other obligations and commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. Detailed cash flow projections are reviewed by Management on a monthly basis, with various stress scenarios applied to assess the Company's ability to meet liquidity needs under unusual or adverse conditions. Liquidity ratios are also calculated and reviewed on a regular basis. While those ratios are merely indicators and are not measures of actual liquidity, they are closely monitored, the Company is committed to maintaining adequate liquidity resources to draw upon should unexpected needs arise.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company, on occasion, experiences cash needs as the result of loan growth, deposit outflows, asset purchases or liability repayments. To meet these short-term needs, the Company can borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions, draw advances via FHLB lines of credit, or solicit brokered deposits if customer deposits are not immediately obtainable from local sources.

At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had the following sources of primary and secondary liquidity (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Primary and secondary liquidity sources** | **9/30/2025** | **12/31/2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $95501 | $100664 |
| Unpledged investment securities | 487710 | 552098 |
| Excess pledged securities | 230581 | 242519 |
| FHLB borrowing availability | 623774 | 629134 |
| Unsecured lines of credit | 460785 | 479785 |
| Secured lines of credit | 25000 | 25000 |
| Funds available through fed discount window | 266419 | 298296 |
| **Totals** | $**2189770** | $**2327496** |

---

Available funding sources, detailed above, of $2.2 billion represented 75% of total deposits and 293% of estimated uninsured and/or uncollateralized deposits as of September 30, 2025. Unpledged investment securities include $71.9 million of CLOs. As CLO rates reset every 90 days to current rates, the volatility of pricing of these securities is limited and the Company could sell such securities for liquidity at a significantly lower loss than selling lower-rate fixed term securities such as US government bonds or municipal bonds.

The Company performs regular stress tests on its liquidity, and at this time, Management believes it has sufficient primary and secondary liquidity sources for operations.

The Company has a higher level of actual balance sheet liquidity than might otherwise be the case since the Company utilizes a letter of credit from the FHLB rather than investment securities for certain pledging requirements. That letter of credit, which is backed by loans pledged to the FHLB by the Company, totaled $125 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Other sources of liquidity include the brokered deposit market, deposit listing services, Intrafi, and the ability to offer local time-deposit campaigns. Management is of the opinion that available investments and other potentially liquid assets, along with standby funding sources it has arranged, are more than sufficient to meet the Company's current and anticipated short-term liquidity needs.

The Company's primary liquidity ratio was 18% at September 30, 2025, as compared to an internal policy guideline of "greater than 15%" Ratios and sub-limits for the various components comprising wholesale funding, which were all well within policy guidelines at September 30, 2025, are also periodically reviewed by Management and the Board. The Company has been able to maintain a robust liquidity position in recent periods, but no assurance can be provided that the liquidity position will continue at current strong levels.

The holding company's primary uses of funds include operating expenses incurred in the normal course of business, interest on trust preferred securities and subordinated debt, shareholder dividends, and share repurchases. Its primary source of funds is dividends from the Bank since the holding company does not conduct regular banking operations. As of September 30, 2025, the holding company maintained a cash balance of $8.4 million. Management anticipates that the holding company has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. Both the holding company and the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations on dividend payments, as outlined in Item 5(c) Dividends in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC.

*INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT*

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does it have exposure to currency exchange rates. The Company's market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk and has established policies and procedures to monitor and limit earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The principal objective of interest rate risk management

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

is to manage the financial components of the Company's balance sheet in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital under a variety of interest rate scenarios.

To identify areas of potential exposure to interest rate changes, the Company utilizes a third-party that uses commercially-available modeling software to perform monthly earnings simulations using a dynamic balance sheet and calculate the Company's market value of portfolio equity under varying interest rate scenarios. The model imports relevant information for the Company's financial instruments and incorporates Management's assumptions on pricing, duration, and optionality for anticipated new volumes. Assumptions regarding deposit betas in the up cycles can range from 25% to 100% and from 0% to 75% in the down cycles, depending on the deposit type. Deposit decay rate assumptions range from 5% to 26% and are based on the Company's own historical averages. Prepayment speeds are based on actual three-year historical averages. Various rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are then applied in order to calculate the expected effect of a given interest rate change on interest income, interest expense, and the value of the Company's financial instruments. The rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and parallel change in all base rates, up or down), ramped (an incremental increase or decrease in rates over a specified time period), economic (based on current trends and econometric models) or stable (unchanged from current actual levels).

In addition to a stable rate scenario, which presumes that there are no changes in interest rates, the Company typically uses at least eight other interest rate scenarios in conducting rolling 12-month net interest income simulations: upward shocks of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points, and downward shocks of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. Those scenarios may be supplemented, reduced in number, or otherwise adjusted as determined by Management to provide the most meaningful simulations considering economic conditions and expectations at the time. The Company's guideline is to limit any projected decline in net interest income relative to the stable rate scenario to no more than 10% for a 100 basis point interest rate shock, 15% for a 200 basis point shock, 20% for a 300 basis point shock, and 25% for a 400 basis point shock.

The Company had the following estimated net interest income sensitivity profiles over one year, without factoring in any potential negative impact on spreads resulting from competitive pressures or credit quality deterioration (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** | **September 30, 2024** |
| **Immediate change in Interest Rates (basis points)** | % Change in Net Interest Income | $ Change in Net Interest Income | % Change in Net Interest Income | $ Change in Net Interest Income |
| +400 | 4.0% | $5530 | 9.0% | $12006 |
| +300 | 3.2% | $4440 | 6.9% | $9153 |
| +200 | 2.3% | $3179 | 4.7% | $6295 |
| +100 | 1.3% | $1776 | 2.5% | $3385 |
| Base |  |  |  |  |
| -100 | (4.8)% | $(6675) | (5.2)% | $(6954) |
| -200 | (10.0)% | $(13817) | (10.4)% | $(13795) |
| -300 | (15.0)% | $(20825) | (15.4)% | $(20469) |
| -400 | (17.3)% | $(23992) | (18.4)% | $(24467) |

---

The above table is for parallel interest rate shocks for all rate curves and represents an extreme scenario. Management utilizes this as a starting point for determining its overall interest rate risk strategy. Based on the interest rate shocks, for the period ending September 30, 2025, Management believes that the Company is asset sensitive and is slightly less asset sensitive than the same period a year ago.

The incremental changes in net interest income are similar between the up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios. If there were an immediate and sustained upward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, all else being equal, net interest income over the next 12 months is projected to increase by $1.8 million, or 1.3%, relative to a stable interest rate scenario, with the favorable variance increasing as interest rates rise higher.

If there was an immediate downward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates for all rate curves, net interest income would drop $6.7 million, or a negative variance of 4.8% over 12 months. The change in net interest income in the down 200 basis point scenario is a decrease of $13.8 million or 10.0%. As a significant portion of the Company's deposits remain in noninterest-bearing accounts or low-cost deposit accounts, in a downrate scenario, these rates would not change or only change slightly. However, floating rate earning assets (loans and deposits) would reprice downward more than the decline in floating rate liabilities. All interest rate shock scenarios are within internal policy guidelines.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Management also models other interest rate scenarios that do not assume a simultaneous and parallel shock of all points on the yield curve including short-term and long-term rates. One of these alternate rate change scenarios uses rate forecasts, from a known economist over the next twelve months, which reflect overnight rates moving differently than longer-term treasury rates. Using this forecast of interest rates, net interest income models close to the base case scenario, indicating that based on a most-likely interest rate forecast the Company's net interest income is expected to be close to the same level modeled in an unchanged rate environment. This use of a most-likely interest rate forecast suggests we are less sensitive to interest rate changes, when compared to use of an interest rate shock.

As the Company utilizes a dynamic balance sheet for its interest rate modeling, the Company also uses a static, or no-growth, balance sheet to assess the reasonableness of the interest rate sensitivity in the dynamic balance sheet model; no significant changes in interest rate risk outside of the base case were noted. In addition, the Company runs stress scenarios for stresses to average deposits, higher deposit betas than the base case, deposit migration from low-cost to high-cost deposits, and both higher and slower prepayment speeds. The most significant impact to net interest income in the net interest income simulations is the reduction or migration of low-cost deposits.

#### CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had total shareholders' equity of $360.1 million at September 30, 2025, comprised of $104.0 million in common stock, $5.1 million in additional paid-in capital, $276.2 million in retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $25.2 million. At the end of 2024, total shareholders' equity was $357.3 million.

The $2.8 million, or 1%, increase in equity during the first nine months of 2025 was due to the addition of $29.4 million in net income, a $6.1 million favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, due principally to changes in investment securities' fair value, partially offset by $24.3 million in share repurchases, and $10.3 million in dividends paid. The remaining difference is related to the impact of equity compensation.

At September 30, 2025, the Company had a 2024 Share Repurchase Plan authorizing 1,000,000 shares of common stock, with an expiration date of October 31, 2025. At September 30, 2025, there were no shares of common stock remaining available for repurchase under the 2024 Share Repurchase plan.

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate its capital adequacy, including the leverage ratio which is calculated separately for the Company and the Bank. Management reviews these capital measurements on a quarterly basis and takes appropriate action to help ensure that they meet or surpass established internal and external guidelines. As permitted by the regulators for financial institutions that are not deemed to be "advanced approaches" institutions, the Company has elected to opt out of the Basel III requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Company's regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

**Regulatory Capital Ratios**

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | <br>**September 30,**<br>**2025**  | <br>**December 31,**<br>**2024** | **Minimum**<br>**Requirement**<br>**to be**<br>**Well Capitalized** | **Minimum**<br>**Required**<br>**Community Bank** <br>**Leverage Ratio** <sup>(1)</sup> |
| **Bank of the Sierra** |  |  |  |  |
| Tier 1 Capital to Adjusted Average Assets ("Leverage Ratio") <sup>(2)</sup> | 11.73% | 11.80% | 9.00% | 9.00% |
| **Sierra Bancorp** |  |  |  |  |
| Tier 1 Capital to Adjusted Average Assets ("Leverage Ratio") <sup>(2)</sup> | 10.65% | 10.93% | 9.00% | N/A |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If the subsidiary bank's leverage ratio exceeds the minimum ratio under the community bank leverage ratio framework, it is deemed to be "well capitalized" under all other regulatory capital requirements. The Company may revert back to the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action if the subsidiary bank's leverage ratio falls below the minimum under the community bank leverage ratio framework.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Company has elected to phase in the impact of implementing CECL on regulatory capital over a three-year period, which ended December 31, 2024.

The federal banking agencies provide a simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations by allowing such banking organizations to opt into the community bank leverage ratio framework. The Company's subsidiary has opted into the community bank leverage ratio framework. This means that if the Company's

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

subsidiary maintains a leverage ratio greater than 9%, it will be considered to have met the minimum capital requirements, the capital ratio requirements for the well capitalized category under the Prompt Corrective Action framework, and any other capital or leverage requirements to which the qualifying banking organization is subject. A qualifying community banking organization with a leverage ratio of greater than 9% may opt into the community bank leverage ratio framework if has average consolidated total assets of less than $10 billion, has off-balance-sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and has total trading assets and trading liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets. Further, the bank must not be an advanced approaches banking organization.
