| CEO COMMENTARY: |
| Western Alliance achieved solid first quarter results featuring robust deposit growth, net interest margin expansion, and core earnings momentum, while taking decisive action to resolve two fraud-related credits, partially offset by gains from a series of well-executed security sales," said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Continued business strength drove quarterly loan and deposit growth of $465 million and $5.6 billion, respectively, and generated adjusted earnings per share<sup>1</sup> of $2.22, excluding $0.57 of notable items. Net interest margin of 3.54% expanded 3 basis points as the cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 21 basis points, which sustained net interest income despite two fewer days in the quarter. Core asset quality remained stable and steady as the total classified assets ratio declined 9 basis points to 1.08% and net loan charge-offs to average loans<sup>1</sup> were 0.39%, excluding fraud-related charge-offs. Overall, tangible book value per share<sup>1</sup> climbed 13.0% year-over-year to $61.14 with a stable CET1 ratio of 11.0%, while we completed opportunistic quarterly share repurchases of $50.0 million." |

**Income Statement**

The Company's first quarter 2026 financial results reflect the impact to provision for credit losses, arising from the charge-off of the remaining $126.4 million balance of the LAM loan. This impact was partially offset by $50.5 million in gains from security sales for the quarter. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of these actions, refer to the reconciliations starting on page 18.

Net interest income totaled $766.3 million in the first quarter 2026, which was relatively flat from $766.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025, but represented an increase of $115.7 million, or 17.8%, compared to the first quarter 2025. The slight increase in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to lower deposit and borrowing costs and an increase in average interest bearing assets, which were largely offset by declining yields on interest earning assets. The increase in net interest income from the first quarter 2025 was driven by an increase in average interest earning asset balances and lower rates on interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities balances and declining yields on interest earning assets.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $213.2 million in the first quarter 2026, an increase of $140.2 million from $73.0 million in the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase of $182.0 million from $31.2 million in the first quarter 2025. The provision for credit losses during the first quarter 2026 was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs totaling $208.5 million, which included a charge-off of $126.4 million for the remaining balance of the LAM loan and a $26.1 million charge-off from the specific reserve previously established on the Cantor loan.

The Company's net interest margin was 3.54% in the first quarter 2026, an increase from 3.51% in the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase from 3.47% in the first quarter 2025. Net interest margin increased from the fourth quarter 2025 due to lower rates on deposits and short-term borrowings, partially offset by declining yields on interest earning assets. The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by a reduction in interest bearing liability costs resulting from a lower rate environment, partially offset by declining yields on interest earning assets.

Non-interest income was $252.6 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $214.7 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $127.4 million for the first quarter 2025. The increase in non-interest income of $37.9 million from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to increases in gain on sales of investment securities of $43.1 million and service charges and fees of $14.9 million, partially offset by a lower net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities of $18.4 million. The increase in non-interest income of $125.2 million from the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by increases in gain on sales of investment securities, service charges and fees, net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities, and income from equity investments. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net loan servicing revenue.

Net revenue totaled $1.0 billion for the first quarter 2026, an increase of $38.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to $980.9 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase of $240.9 million, or 31.0%, compared to $778.0 million for the first quarter 2025.

Non-interest expense was $574.4 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $552.2 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $500.4 million for the first quarter 2025. The increase in non-interest expense of $22.2 million from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to an increase of $21.2 million in other non-interest expense and $7.0 million in insurance costs. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily driven by costs associated with Juris banking, which had comparable growth in service charges and fees within non-interest income, as well as OREO-related charges. Insurance costs increased primarily due to a reduction in the FDIC special assessment recognized in the fourth quarter 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $7.9 million reduction in deposit costs. The increase in non-interest expense of $74.0 million from the first quarter 2025 was primarily attributable to increased deposit costs of $26.5 million, increased salaries and employee benefits of $23.1 million, and a $19.4 million increase in other non-interest expense largely related to Juris banking. These increases were partially offset by decreased insurance costs of $13.2 million. The Company's efficiency ratio was 55.8% for the first quarter 2026, compared to 55.7% for the fourth quarter 2025, and 63.5% for the first quarter 2025. The Company's efficiency ratio, adjusted for deposit costs<sup>1</sup>, was 47.5% for the first quarter 2026, compared to 46.5% in the fourth quarter 2025, and 55.8% for the first quarter 2025.

Income tax expense was $42.1 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $62.5 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $47.3 million for the first quarter 2025. The decrease in income tax expense from the fourth quarter 2025 and the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by lower pre-tax income.

Net income was $189.2 million (or $251.3 million, as adjusted<sup>1</sup>) for the first quarter 2026, a decrease of $104.0 million from $293.2 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and a decrease of $9.9 million from $199.1 million for the first quarter 2025. Earnings per share totaled $1.65 (or $2.22, as adjusted<sup>1</sup>) for the first quarter 2026, compared to $2.59 for the fourth quarter 2025, and $1.79 for the first quarter 2025.

The Company believes its pre-provision net revenue<sup>1</sup> ("PPNR") is a key metric for assessing the Company's earnings power, which it defines as net revenue less non-interest expense. For the first quarter 2026, the Company's PPNR<sup>1</sup> was $444.5 million, up $15.8 million from $428.7 million in the fourth quarter 2025, and up $166.9 million from $277.6 million in the first quarter 2025.

**Balance Sheet**

HFI loans, net of deferred fees, totaled $59.1 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $58.7 billion at December 31, 2025, and $54.8 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in HFI loans of $465 million from the prior quarter was primarily driven by increases of $295 million and $113 million in commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate loans, respectively. The increase in HFI loans of $4.4 billion from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $4.1 billion, $490 million, and $304 million in commercial and industrial, residential real estate, and commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $424 million in construction and land development loans. HFS loans totaled $3.9 billion at March 31, 2026, $3.5 billion at December 31, 2025, and $3.2 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in HFS loans of $438 million from December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $345 million and $113 million in government-insured or guaranteed and agency-conforming mortgage loans, respectively. The increase in HFS loans of $698 million from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $689 million and $110 million in government-insured or guaranteed and non-agency mortgage loans, respectively, partially offset by a $167 million decrease in agency-conforming mortgage loans.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.78% at both at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and 0.71% , and March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.87% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and 0.77% at March 31, 2025. The Company is a party to credit linked note transactions which effectively transfer a portion of the risk of losses on reference pools of loans to the purchasers of the notes. The Company is protected from first credit losses on reference pools of loans totaling $7.9 billion, $8.1 billion, and $8.5 billion as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively, under these transactions. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios include an allowance related to these pools of loans of $11.2 million as of March 31, 2026, $11.8 million as of December 31, 2025, and $11.9 million as of March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans ratio, adjusted to reduce the HFI loan balance by the amount of loans in covered reference pools, was 1.00% at March 31, 2026, 1.01% at December 31, 2025, and 0.92% at March 31, 2025.

Deposits totaled $82.7 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $5.6 billion from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $13.4 billion from $69.3 billion at March 31, 2025. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to increases of $3.7 billion, $969 million, and $828 million from non-interest bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market accounts, respectively. From March 31, 2025, non-interest bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, and savings and money market accounts increased $6.1 billion, $3.9 billion, and $3.7 billion, respectively. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $28.1 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $24.4 billion at December 31, 2025, and $22.0 billion at March 31, 2025.

The table below shows the Company's deposit types as a percentage of total deposits:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Mar 31, 2026** | **Dec 31, 2025** | **Mar 31, 2025** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certificates of deposit | 11.9 | 12.7 | 14.5 |

The Company's ratio of HFI loans to deposits was 71.5% at March 31, 2026, compared to 76.0% at December 31, 2025, and 79.0% at March 31, 2025.

Borrowings totaled $5.6 billion at March 31, 2026, $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025, and $4.2 billion at March 31, 2025. Borrowings increased $370 million from December 31, 2025 driven by a $676 million increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $307 million decrease in long-term borrowings. Borrowings increased $1.5 billion from March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase in short-term borrowings of $2.0 billion, partially offset by a $529 million decrease in long-term borrowings.

Qualifying debt totaled $1.1 billion at March 31, 2026, consistent with the balance at December 31, 2025, and up from $898 million at March 31, 2025. The increase in qualifying debt from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the issuance of $400 million of subordinated debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by the repayment of $225 million of subordinated debt during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Total equity was $7.9 billion at March 31, 2026, relatively flat from December 31, 2025, and up from $7.2 billion at March 31, 2025. Total equity was flat from the prior quarter, primarily due to net income of $189.2 million, partially offset by changes in accumulated other comprehensive income of $112 million and cash dividends paid during the first quarter, comprised of $46.1 million, or $0.42 per common share, $3.2 million or $0.27 per depositary share, and $7.1 million on preferred stock of the Company's REIT subsidiary. In addition, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares for $50.0 million during the first quarter of 2026 under the Company's $300 million share repurchase program. The increase in equity from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by net income, partially offset by dividends to stockholders and share repurchases.

The Company's common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 11.0% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to 11.1% at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, tangible common equity, net of tax<sup>1</sup>, was 6.8% of tangible assets<sup>1</sup> and total capital was 14.4% of risk-weighted assets. The Company's tangible book value per share<sup>1</sup> was $61.14 at March 31, 2026, relatively flat from $61.29 at December 31, 2025, and an increase of 13.0% from $54.10 at March 31, 2025. The increase in tangible book value per share from March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to net income.

Total assets increased $6.1 billion, or 6.6%, to $98.9 billion at March 31, 2026 from $92.8 billion at December 31, 2025, and increased 19.0% from $83.0 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increased cash as well as HFI and HFS loans. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increased cash, investment securities, and HFI and HFS loans.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $56 million at March 31, 2026, $66 million at December 31, 2025, and $44 million at March 31, 2025 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $288 million, $290 million, and $275 million, respectively).

The ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses<sup>2</sup>, a common regulatory measure of asset quality, was 13.0% at March 31, 2026, compared to 13.3% at December 31, 2025, and 15.9% at March 31, 2025.

11 Interest Rate Sensitivity Q1 2026 Highlights • A Ramp Scenario assumes a dynamic balance sheet and reflects an asset sensitive position on NII and a relatively neutral position on EaR – WAL estimates a -100 bps ramp to reduce NII by 2.4% • EaR is liability sensitive, with +1.7% impact to earnings2 from a -100 bps ramp – The reduction in asset sensitivity from NII to EaR is driven by the estimated decrease in ECR-related deposit costs and increase in Mortgage Banking Revenue • Of total earning assets, 67% are variable with 50% repricing to SOFR • Variable liabilities, represent 86% of total earning assets and are primarily modeled to changes in Fed Funds – Non-Maturity Deposit rates, including ECRs, are estimated to have a 62% beta over the next 12 months (2.4)% 3.6% Down 100 Up 100 1.7% 0.9% Down 100 Up 100 1) Projected using a simulation model that calculates the difference between a baseline forecast using forward yield curves, compared to forecasted results from a gradual, parallel change in rates over a 12-month period ("Ramp"). 2) Earnings defined as pre-tax net interest income adjusted for rate-sensitive non-interest income and expense accounts.
