**THE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**No** **te 1. Organization and Nature of Operations** 

The Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company. Its primary, wholly owned subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, National Association (the "Bank"). The Bank is a nationally chartered commercial bank located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured institution. As a nationally chartered bank, its primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). The Bank has two primary lines of business consisting of its national specialty finance segment and its fintech segment.

In the national specialty finance segment, the Bank makes the following types of loans: securities-backed lines of credit ("SBLOCs"), cash value of insurance-backed lines of credit ("IBLOCs") and investment advisor financing; leases (direct lease financing); small business loans ("SBLs"), consisting primarily of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans; and non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans ("REBLs"). Consumer fintech lending is reflected in the fintech segment.

In its fintech segment, the Company provides payment and deposit services nationally, which include prepaid and debit card accounts, affinity group banking, deposit accounts to investment advisors' customers, card payments and other payment processing services. Fintech segment deposits fund the majority of the Company's loans and securities and may produce lower costs than other funding sources. Most of the fintech segment's revenues and deposits, and SBLOC and IBLOC loans, result from relationships with third parties which market such products. Concentrations of loans and deposits are based upon the cumulative account balances generated by those third parties. Similar concentrations result in revenues in prepaid, debit card and related fees. These concentrations may also be reflected in a lower cost of funds compared to other funding sources. The Company sweeps certain deposits off its balance sheet to other institutions through intermediaries. Such sweeps are utilized to optimize diversity within its funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits. The Company offers loans through credit sponsorship with third parties, in its fintech segment.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company's and the Bank's businesses are affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.

**Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies**

*Basis of Presentation*

The financial statements of the Company, as of September 30, 2025 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K, as amended"). The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

Certain reclassifications and updates have been made to the prior periods' financial statements and notes to conform to the current period's presentation.

There have been no significant changes as of September 30, 2025 from the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the 2024 Form 10-K, as amended.

*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements*

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued *Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. ASU 2023-09, effective January 1, 2025, adds annual disclosures for the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, shown separately for federal, state and foreign taxes. Total tax paid, net of refunds, for any jurisdictions which exceed 5% of total net taxes paid, will also be shown separately. The Company intends to incorporate these updates to its income tax disclosures in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to their financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Subsequently, in January 2025,

------

the FASB issued *ASU 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date,* making ASU 2024-03 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this update to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06***,*** *Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which clarifies the capitalization threshold on costs to develop software for internal use. This update removes the prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as "project stages") and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods on a prospective, modified transition, or a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this update to determine its impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

#### **Note 3. Stock-based Compensation** 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") in accordance with ASC 718 *Stock Compensation*. The fair value of the option or RSU is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is typically the stated vesting period. For option grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of such options on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Company's estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. At September 30, 2025, the Company had three active stock-based compensation plans.

As of September 30, 2025, there was a total of $25.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards under stock-based compensation plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years. Related compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $5.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Related compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $14.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

The total issuance date fair value of RSUs vested and options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $15.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of the options exercised and RSUs vested in those respective periods was $40.9 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

**Stock Options**

A summary of the Company's stock options is presented below.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  |  | Weighted average |  |
|  |  |  | remaining |  |
|  |  | Weighted average | contractual | Aggregate  |
|  | Options | exercise price | term (years)  | intrinsic value  |
| Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 668293  | $17.30  | 6.12  | $23613391  |
| Granted | 32624  | 60.25  | 9.37  |  |
| Exercised | (300000) | 6.87  |  | 17198700  |
| Expired |  |  |  |  |
| Forfeited  |  |  |  |  |
| Outstanding at September 30, 2025 | 400917  | $28.60  | 6.24  | $18561208  |
| Exercisable at September 30, 2025 | 280294  | $22.21  | 5.49  | $14765351  |

---

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 32,624 stock options with a vesting period of four years and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $30.65. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 45,616 stock options with a vesting period of four years and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $21.92.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of each stock option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | September 30, | September 30, |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.51% | 4.17% |
| Expected dividend yield |  |  |
| Expected volatility | 45.21% | 44.76% |
| Expected lives (years) | 6.3  | 6.3  |

---

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock and peer group comparisons over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") rate in effect at the time of the grant. The life of the option is based on historical factors which include the contractual term, vesting period, exercise behavior and employee terminations. In accordance with ASC 718, stock- based compensation expense for the period ended September 30, 2025 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. As only one individual has outstanding options, the Company estimates outstanding lives utilizing acceptable expedients in lieu of forfeiture history.

**Restricted Stock Units**

A summary of the Company's RSUs is presented below.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | Weighted average | Average remaining |
|  |  | grant date | contractual |
|  | RSUs | fair value | term (years)  |
| Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 794386  | $38.29  | 1.44  |
| Granted | 358348  | 59.60  | 2.23  |
| Vested | (390525) | 36.25  |  |
| Forfeited | (19963) | 51.16  |  |
| Outstanding at September 30, 2025 | 742246  | $49.30  | 1.48  |

---

The Company granted 358,348 RSUs in the first nine months of 2025, of which 330,839 have a vesting period of three years and 27,509 have a vesting period of one year. At issuance, the 358,348 RSUs granted in the first nine months of 2025 had a weighted average fair value of $59.60 per unit. The Company granted 390,305 RSUs in the first nine months of 2024, of which 355,965 have a vesting period of three years and 34,340 have a vesting period of one year. At issuance, the 390,305 RSUs granted in the first nine months of 2024 had a weighted average fair value of $42.87 per unit.

#### **Note 4 . Earnings Per Share** 
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, *Earnings Per Share*. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including stock options and RSUs or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Stock options are dilutive if their exercise prices are less than the current stock price. RSUs are dilutive because they represent grants over vesting periods which do not require employees to pay exercise prices. The dilution shown in the tables below includes the potential dilution from both stock options and RSUs.

The calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding during each respective period includes activity related to share repurchases made under the Company's share repurchase programs, as discussed further in "Note 11. Shareholders' Equity".

Stock options for 368,293 shares, exercisable at prices between $8.57 and $43.89 per share, were outstanding at September 30, 2025, and included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their exercise price per share was less than the average market price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Stock options for 622,677 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.87 and $35.17 per share, were outstanding at September 30, 2024, and included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their exercise price per share was less than the average market price for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Stock options for 565,104 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.87 and $30.32 per share, were outstanding at September 30, 2024, and included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their exercise price per share was less than the average market price for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

**Note 5. Investment Securities**

Fair values of available-for-sale securities are based on the fair market values supplied by a third-party market data provider, or where such third-party market data is not available, fair values are based on discounted cash flows. The third-party market data provider uses a pricing matrix which it creates daily, taking into consideration actual trade data, projected prepayments, and when relevant, projected credit defaults and losses.

<sup>(1)</sup> At December 31, 2024 there were 267 securities in a loss position.

The Company has evaluated the investment securities and has concluded that none of these securities required an allowance for credit loss ("ACL") as of September 30, 2025. The Company evaluates whether an ACL is required by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security's underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company's determination of the best estimate of expected future cash flows, which is used to determine the credit loss amount, is a quantitative and

------

qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company concluded that the securities that are in an unrealized loss position are in a loss position because of changes in market interest rates after the securities were purchased. The severity of the impact of fair value in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments is consistent with market developments. The Company's analysis of each investment is performed at the security level. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

**Note 6. Loans, net**

The Company's loans originate from several lending lines of business, including:

*SBL*s, or small business loans, are comprised primarily of Small Business Administration "SBA" loans.

*Direct lease financing* includes lease financing for commercial and government vehicle fleets and, to a lesser extent, provides lease financing for other equipment.

*SBLOCs,* or securities-backed lines of credit, are made to individuals, trusts and other entities and are secured by a pledge of marketable securities maintained in one or more accounts for which the Company obtains a securities account control agreement.

*IBLOCs,* or insurance policy cash value-backed lines of credit, are collateralized by the cash surrender value of eligible insurance policies.

*Advisor financing* are loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession.

*REBL,* or real estate bridge loans, are transitional commercial mortgage loans which are made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already have cash flow, and which are collateralized by those properties.

*Consumer fintech loans* consist of short-term extensions of credit including secured credit card loans made in conjunction with marketers and servicers.

*Other loans* include commercial and HELOC which the Company generally no longer offers.

In addition to loans recognized at amortized cost, the balance sheet also includes commercial loans at fair value. These loans were originated prior to 2020, were intended for sale into securitizations and at origination the Company elected fair value treatment. The Company continues to account for that population at fair value even though they are no longer intended for sale. See further discussion of these loans in "Note 9. Fair Value". The Company accounts for all its' current originations at amortized cost.

The Company analyzes credit risk prior to making loans on an individual loan basis. The Company considers relevant aspects of the borrowers' financial position and cash flow, past borrower performance, management's knowledge of market conditions, collateral and the ratio of loan amounts to estimated collateral value in making its credit determinations. For SBLOC, the Company relies on the market value of the underlying securities collateral as adjusted by margin requirements, generally 50% for equities and 80% for investment grade securities. For IBLOC, the Company relies on the cash value of insurance policy collateral. Of the total $785.0 million of consumer fintech loans at September 30, 2025, $416.0 million consisted of secured credit card loans, with the balance consisting of other short-term extensions of credit. Consumers do not pay interest on the majority of consumer fintech loan balances, including secured credit card loans. The majority of the income on those loans is reflected in non-interest income under "Consumer credit fintech fees" and originates with the marketers and servicers for those loans. The secured credit card balances were collateralized with deposits at the Bank, with related income statement impact reflected both in a lower cost of funds and fee income. The lower cost of funds results from deposits required to be maintained to collateralize related card use.

Major classifications of loans, excluding commercial loans at fair value, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

<sup>(1)</sup> SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, IBLOC loans amounted to $471.6 million and $548.1 million, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $1.8 million and $1.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the ACL and are immaterial. Includes warehouse financing related to loan sales to third party purchasers of real estate bridge loans of $122.5 million and $65.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Weighted average look through loan to values ("LTVs") based on our most recent appraisals for the related mortgaged properties were less than 60% as-is and less than 55% as-stabilized. 

The Company did not have loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at either September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, the Company purchased $23.1 million of SBLs, none of which were credit deteriorated. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2025, the Company participated in SBLs with other institutions in the amount of $15.4 million.

**Non-Accrual and Delinquency**

The loan review department recommends non-accrual status for loans to the surveillance committee, in those situations where interest income appears to be uncollectible or a protracted delay in collection becomes evident. The surveillance committee further vets and approves the non-accrual status.

A detail of the Company's delinquent loans by loan category is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Interest which would have been earned on loans classified as non-accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $2.2 million and $886,000, respectively. No income on non-accrual loans was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounts reversed from interest income included: $1.2 million of REBL, $119,000 of direct leasing, $499,000 of SBL commercial real estate, $185,000 of SBL non-real estate, and $2,000 of other loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounts reversed from interest income included: $1.0 million of REBL, $69,000 of direct leasing, $130,000 of SBL commercial real estate, and $33,000 of SBL non-real estate were reversed from interest income. The interest reversals represent interest receivable balance on loans at the time of transfer into non-accrual status.

**Loan Modifications**

Loans which are experiencing financial stress are reviewed by the loan review department, which is independent of the lending lines. The review includes an analysis for a potential specific reserve allocation in the ACL. For REBLs, updated appraisals are generally obtained in conjunction with modifications.

There were no loans modified for the three months ended September 30, 2025. During the three-month and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, loans modified and related information are as follows (dollars in thousands):

<sup>(1)</sup> Percentage represents the principal of loans deferred divided by the principal of the total loan portfolio.

There were no loans that received a term extension modification which had a payment default during the period and were modified in the twelve months before default.

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to loans classified as modified for the periods ended September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

There were no loans modified for the three months ended September 30, 2025. There were $56.2 million of total loans modified for the three months ended September 30, 2024 with no specific reserves.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were $7.1 million of total loans modified with specific reserves of $153,000, while there were $96.1 million of total loans modified for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 with specific reserves of $5,000.

**Allowance for Credit Loss**

Management estimates the ACL quarterly and for most loan categories uses relevant available internal and external historical loan performance information to determine the quantitative component of the reserve and current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and other factors to determine the qualitative component of the reserve. Reserves on specific credit-deteriorated loans comprise the third and final component of the reserve. Historical credit loss experience provides the quantitative basis for the estimation of expected credit losses over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The qualitative component of the ACL is designed to be responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and the impact of current and future economic conditions on loan performance, and is subjective. The review of the appropriateness of the ACL is performed by the Chief Credit Officer and presented to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors for review. With the exception of SBLOC, IBLOC, and consumer fintech loans, which utilize probability of default/loss given default, and the other loan category, which uses discounted cash flow to determine a reserve, the quantitative components for remaining categories are determined by establishing reserves on loan pools with similar risk characteristics based on a lifetime loss-rate model, or vintage analysis. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.

Expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. A loan is deemed to be a collateral-dependent loan when (i) foreclosure is believed to be probable; or (ii) foreclosure or repossession is not probable, but the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and we expect repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. For collateral-dependent loans, a reserve is established within the ACL based on the difference between loan principal and the estimated fair value of the collateral, adjusted for estimated disposition costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any significant changes to the extent to which collateral secures its collateral dependent loans due to general collateral deterioration or from other factors. Categories of loans that may be assessed as collateral dependent, and the underlying nature of the collateral, includes:

SBL non-real estate are collateralized by business assets, which may include certain real estate.

SBL commercial mortgage and construction are collateralized by real estate for small businesses.

Real estate bridge loans are primarily collateralized by apartment buildings, or other commercial real estate.

SBLOC are collateralized by marketable investment securities while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash value of life insurance.

Advisor financing are collateralized by investment advisors' business franchises.

Direct lease financing are collateralized primarily by vehicles or equipment.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the estimated remaining lives of loans. The estimate excludes possible extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation that a loan will be restructured, or the extension or renewal options are included in the borrower contract and are not unconditionally cancellable by us.

------

The Company does not measure an ACL on accrued interest receivable balances, because these balances are written off in a timely manner as a reduction to interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status.

A summary of the Company's primary portfolio pools and loans accordingly classified, by year of origination, and internal risk rating system used to identify problem loans are as follows (dollars in thousands):

<sup>(1)</sup> For the special mention and substandard real estate bridge loans, appraisals performed within the past twelve months reflect a respective weighted average "as is" LTV of 77% and a further estimated 68% "as stabilized" LTV. "As stabilized" LTVs represent additional potential collateral value as rehabilitation progresses, and units are re-leased at stabilized rental rates. The substandard real estate bridge loans shown in 2024 reflected loans to new borrowers with greater financial capacity, with their original financing in the 2021 and 2022 vintages.

------

<sup>(2)</sup> Included in Other loans are $7.2 million of SBA loans purchased for Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") purposes as of September 30, 2025. These loans are classified as SBL in the Company's loan table, which classifies loans by type, as opposed to risk characteristics.

In the above tables, the special mention classification indicates weaknesses that may, if not cured, threaten the borrower's future repayment ability. A substandard classification reflects an existing weakness indicating the possible inadequacy of net worth and other repayment sources. These classifications are used both by regulators and peers, as they have been correlated with an increased probability of credit losses.

The Company's estimate of credit loss for each portfolio segment includes consideration of different portfolio segments and qualitative factors, as follows.

*SBL.* Substantially all SBLs consist of SBA loans. The Bank participates in loan programs established by the SBA, including the 7(a) Loan Guarantee Program (the "7(a) Program"), and the 504 Fixed Asset Financing Program (the "504 Program"). The 7(a) Program is designed to help small business borrowers start or expand their businesses by providing partial guarantees of loans made by banks and non-bank lending institutions for specific business purposes, including long or short-term working capital; funds for the purchase of equipment, machinery, supplies and materials; funds for the purchase, construction or renovation of real estate; and funds to acquire, operate or expand an existing business or refinance existing debt, all under conditions established by the SBA. The 504 Program includes the financing of real estate and commercial mortgages. The Company segments the SBL portfolio into four pools: non-real estate, commercial mortgage and construction to capture the risk characteristics of each pool, and the PPP loans. The qualitative factors for SBL loans focus on pool loan performance, underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans and changes in economic conditions. Additionally, the construction segment adds a qualitative factor for general construction risk, such as construction delays resulting from labor shortages or availability/pricing of construction materials.

*Direct lease financing.* The Company provides lease financing for commercial and government vehicle fleets and, to a lesser extent, provides lease financing for other equipment. Leases are either open-end or closed-end. An open-end lease is one in which, at the end of the lease term, the lessee must pay the difference between the amount at which the Company sells the leased asset and the stated termination value. Termination value is a contractual value agreed to by the parties at the inception of a lease as to the value of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. A closed-end lease is one for which no such payment is due on lease termination. In a closed-end lease, the risk that the amount received on a sale of the leased asset will be less than the residual value is assumed by the Bank, as lessor. The qualitative factors for direct lease financing focus on underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

*SBLOC.* SBLOC loans are made to individuals, trusts and entities and are secured by a pledge of marketable securities maintained in one or more accounts for which the Company obtains a securities account control agreement. The securities pledged may be either debt or equity securities or a combination thereof, but all such securities must be listed for trading on a national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. SBLOCs are typically payable on demand. Maximum SBLOC line amounts are calculated by applying a standard "advance rate" calculation against the eligible security type depending on asset class: typically, up to 50% for equity securities and mutual fund securities and 80% for investment grade (Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or higher, or Moody's rating of Baa3 or higher) municipal or corporate debt securities. Substantially all SBLOCs have full recourse to the borrower. The underlying securities collateral for SBLOC loans is monitored on a daily basis to confirm the composition of the client portfolio and its daily market value. The primary qualitative factor in the SBLOC analysis is the ratio of loans outstanding to market value. This factor has been maintained at low levels, which has remained appropriate as losses have not materialized despite the historic declines in the equity markets during 2020, during which there were no losses. Significant losses have not been incurred since inception of this line of business. Additionally, the advance rates noted above were established to provide the Company with protection from declines in market conditions from the origination date of the lines of credit.

*IBLOC.* IBLOC loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of eligible insurance policies. Should a loan default, the primary risks for IBLOCs are if the insurance company issuing the policy were to become insolvent, or if that company would fail to recognize the Bank's assignment of policy proceeds. To mitigate these risks, insurance company ratings are periodically evaluated for compliance with Bank standards. Additionally, the Bank utilizes assignments of cash surrender value, which legal counsel has concluded are enforceable. Significant losses have not been incurred since inception of this line of business. The qualitative factors for IBLOC primarily focus on the concentration risk with insurance companies.

*Investment advisor financing.* The Bank originates loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan-to-value ratios of 70%, based on third-party business appraisals, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate. Loan repayment is highly dependent on fee streams from advisor clientele. Accordingly, loss of fee-based investment advisory clients or negative market performance may reduce fees and pose a risk to these credits. As credit losses have not been experienced, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. The qualitative factors for investment advisor financing focus on historical industry losses, changes in lending policies and procedures, portfolio performance and economic conditions.

------

*Real estate bridge loans.* Real estate bridge loans are transitional commercial mortgage loans which are made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already have cash flow, and which are collateralized by those properties. The Bank has minimal exposure to non-multifamily commercial real estate such as office buildings, and instead has a portfolio largely comprised of rehabilitation bridge loans for apartment buildings. These loans generally have three-year terms with two one-year extensions to allow for the rehabilitation work to be completed and rentals stabilized for an extended period, before being refinanced at lower rates through U.S. Government Sponsored Entities or other lenders. The rehabilitation real estate lending portfolio consists primarily of workforce housing, which the Company considers to be working class apartments at more affordable rental rates. As charge-offs have generally not been experienced for multifamily (apartment building loans) which comprise the REBL portfolio, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. Qualitative factors focus on historical industry losses, changes in classified loan balances, changes in economic conditions and underlying collateral and portfolio performance. In the third quarter of 2024, as a result of increased levels of loans classified as special mention or substandard, a new qualitative factor related to the level of such classified loans was added.

*Consumer fintech loans.* Consumer fintech loans consist of short-term extensions of credit including secured credit card loans made in conjunction with marketers and servicers. The majority of secured credit card balances are collateralized with deposits at the Bank, with related income statement impact reflected both in a lower cost of funds and fee income. At September 30, 2025 consumer fintech loans included $416.0 million of secured credit card accounts, which are backed dollar for dollar by cash collateral by each individual cardholder and are required to be repaid in-full monthly. The remaining consumer fintech loans consist of cashflow underwritten short-term liquidity products to individual borrowers ranging in maturities from 30 to 365 days. The Company has an agreement with a third party to originate and service consumer fintech loans, which includes a credit enhancement through which the third party guarantees of losses on such consumer fintech loans. The Company recognizes an estimate of loss on this portfolio through its allowance for credit loss on its fintech loans on its balance sheet, with provision for credit losses on consumer fintech loans recognized on the Statement of Operations. In addition, the Company recognizes a corresponding amount of credit enhancement asset on its' Balance sheet and non-interest income — consumer fintech loan credit enhancement on the Statement of Operations. The measurement of the expected loan losses and the related credit enhancement are based on the same estimate and are equal and correlate to like amounts in our income statement. The Company has recognized a credit enhancement asset of $29.3 million and $12.9 million on its balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively related to the estimated recovery of its realized losses on consumer fintech loans. All fintech loans are covered by credit enhancement agreements as of September 30, 2025.

*Other loans.* Other loans include commercial and home equity lines of credit which the Company generally no longer offers. Qualitative factors focus on changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

<sup>(1)</sup> Of the total residual value, $45.1 million is not guaranteed by the lessee or other guarantors.

**Off-Balance Sheet Exposure**

In addition to estimating credit loss for outstanding loans, the Company estimates expected credit losses over the entire period in which there is exposure to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The estimate of loss for unfunded loan commitments relates to our off-balance sheet credit exposure, and is adjusted through the provision for unfunded commitments. The estimate considers the likelihood that funding will occur over the estimated life of the commitment. The amount of the reserve on such exposures as of September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024 was $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is recognized within Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Note 7. Debt**

---

Assets pledged as collateral that are not available to pay the Company's general obligations as of September 30, 2025 consisted of $4.72 billion of loans held for investment at amortized cost. Those loans were pledged for the short-term-borrowing agreements. The Company had no securities pledged at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

*Short-term borrowings*

The Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and Federal Reserve Bank lines are periodically utilized to manage liquidity. The amount of loans pledged varies and the collateral may be unpledged at any time to the extent the collateral exceeds advances. As of September 30, 2025, based on the amount of loans pledged, as outlined above, total capacity was $2.98 billion, there was $200.0 million borrowed and $2.78 billion available capacity.

*Senior Debt*

On August 18, 2025, the Company completed the offering and sale of $200.0 million aggregate principal of 7.375% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes"). The notes mature on September 1, 2030, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 each year. The notes are redeemable in whole or in part beginning on or after the 30<sup>th</sup> day prior to the maturity date. The 2030 Senior Notes are the Company's direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank in equal priority with all of the

------

Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all the Company's existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

In August 2025, the Company used the proceeds of this issuance to repay at maturity the outstanding principal of the 4.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes"). The remainder of the net proceeds may be used to fund the Company's share repurchase program and for general corporate purposes.

N**ote 8. Transactions with Affiliates**

The Bank did not maintain any deposits for various affiliated companies as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Bank has entered into lending transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliates of such persons. All loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender. At September 30, 2025, these loans were current as to principal and interest payments and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability. Loans to these related parties amounted to $5.5 million at September 30, 2025 and $6.9 million at December 31, 2024.

Mr. Hersh Kozlov, a director of the Company, is a partner at Duane Morris LLP, an international law firm. The Company did not pay Duane Morris LLP for legal services for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company paid Duane Morris LLP $4,800 for legal services for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

**Note 9. Fair Value Measurements**

ASC 825, *Financial Instruments*, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity's assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Accordingly, estimated fair values are determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology it believes to be suitable for each category of financial instruments. Also, it is the Company's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity whether or not categorized as available-for-sale and not to engage in trading or sales activities although it has sold loans and securities in the past and may do so in the future. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company utilized certain value measurement criteria required in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures* ("ASC 820"), as discussed below. In addition, ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access at the measurement date. Level 2 valuation is based on other observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, default rates, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated through, observable market data by market-corroborated reports. Level 3 valuation is based on "unobservable inputs" which the Company believes is the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

**Recurring Measurements**

*Investment securities, available for sale, at fair value.* The estimated Level 2 fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated independently by a third-party pricing service based upon their matrix pricing technique. Level 3 investment security fair values are based on the present valuing of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity, or yield to call as appropriate, at the measurement date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between the three levels.

*Commercial loans, at fair value* are comprised primarily of commercial real estate bridge loans and SBA loans which had been originated for sale or securitization in the secondary market, and which are now being held on the balance sheet. Commercial real estate bridge loans and SBA loans are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon pricing for similar loans where market indications of

------

the sales price of such loans are not available. SBA loans are valued on a pooled basis and commercial real estate bridge loans are valued individually.

*Credit enhancement asset* has a carrying value that approximates fair value.

The valuations for each of the instruments above, as of the balance sheet date, are subject to judgments, assumptions and uncertainties, changes in which could have a significant impact on such valuations. Weighted averages were calculated by using the discount rate for each individual security or loan weighted by its market value, except for SBA loans. For SBA loans, the yield derived from market pricing indications for comparable pools determined by date of loan origination. For commercial loans recorded at fair value, changes in fair value are reflected in the income statement. Changes in the fair value of securities which are unrelated to credit are recorded through equity. Changes in the fair value of loans recorded at amortized cost which are unrelated to credit are a disclosure item, without impact on the financial statements. Further discussion of the September 30, 2025 measurements follows:

*Commercial – SBA* loans are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of SBA-insured loans. Their valuation is based upon the yield derived from dealer pricing indications for guaranteed pools, adjusted for seasoning and prepayments. A limited number of broker-dealers originate the pooled securities for which the loans are purchased and as a result, prices can fluctuate based on such limited market demand, although the government guarantee has resulted in consistent historical demand. Valuations are impacted by prepayment assumptions resulting from both voluntary payoffs and defaults. Such assumptions for these seasoned loans are based on a seasoning vector for constant prepayment rates from 3% to 30% over life.

*Non-SBA commercial real estate* loans are primarily bridge loans designed to provide property owners time and funding for property improvements. They are fair valued by a third party, based upon discounting at market rates for similar loans. Discount rates used in applying discounted cash flow analysis utilize input based upon loan terms, the general level of interest rates and the quality of the credit. Deterioration in loan performance or other credit weaknesses could result in fair value ranges which would be dependent upon potential buyers' tolerance for such weaknesses and are difficult to estimate.

Loans recorded at amortized cost that are in non-accrual status are treated as collateral dependent to the extent they have resulted from borrower financial difficulty (and not from administrative delays or other mitigating factors) and are not brought current.

At September 30, 2025, the Company's basis in the non-accrual loans, or the loan principal of $14.8 million was reduced by specific reserves of $5.1 million within the ACL as of that date, representing the deficiency between principal and estimated collateral values, which were reduced by estimated costs to sell. When the deficiency is deemed uncollectible, it is charged off by reducing the specific reserve and decreasing principal. Valuation techniques consistent with the market and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual loans being evaluated such as recent sales of similar collateral or observable market data for operational or carrying costs. In cases where such inputs were unobservable, the loan balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy.

For OREO, fair value is based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third-party appraisers, reduced by 7% to 10% for estimated selling costs. Such appraisals reflect estimates of amounts realizable upon property sales based on the sale of comparable properties and other factors. Actual sales prices may vary based upon the identification of potential purchasers, changing conditions in local real estate markets and the level of interest rates required to finance purchases.

**Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments**

The Company determines estimates of fair value for other financial instruments for disclosure purposes only, as follows:

Carrying value of certain instruments approximates fair value, due to the short-term or highly liquid nature of such instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, stock in Federal Reserve, FHLB and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank ("ACBB"), accrued interest receivable, demand and interest checking, savings and money market, and other liabilities - accrued interest payable.

Loans, net have an estimated fair value using the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk.

Other long-term borrowings resulting from sold loans which did not qualify for true sale accounting are presented in the amount of the principal of such loans.

**Note 10. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets**

In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60.0 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million that is being amortized over a ten-year period. Remaining amortization is $199,000 to be recognized over the next six months. The gross carrying amount of the customer list intangible is $3.4 million, and as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, the accumulated amortization expense was $3.2 million and $3.0 million.

------

In January 2020, the Company purchased McMahon Leasing and subsidiaries for approximately $8.7 million which resulted in $1.1 million of intangibles. The gross carrying value of $1.1 million of intangibles was comprised of a customer list intangible of $689,000, goodwill of $263,000 and a trade name valuation of $135,000. The customer list intangible is being amortized over a twelve-year period and accumulated amortization expense was $330,000 at September 30, 2025 and $287,000 at December 31, 2024. Amortization expense is $57,000 per year ($287,000 over the next five years). The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company's intangibles at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented below:

**Note 11. Shareholders' Equity** 

As a means of returning capital to shareholders, the Company implemented the stock repurchase programs described below. Under the repurchase programs, the Company intends to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The repurchase programs may be modified or terminated at any time.

The planned amounts of repurchases are generally determined in the fourth quarter of the preceding year by assessing the impact of budgetary earnings projections on regulatory capital requirements. The excess of projected earnings over amounts required to maintain capital requirements is the maximum available for capital return to shareholders, barring any need to retain capital for other purposes. A significant portion of such excess earnings has been utilized for stock repurchases in the amounts noted above, while cash dividends have not been paid. In determining whether capital is returned through stock repurchases or cash dividends, the Company calculates a maximum share repurchase price, based upon comparisons with what it concludes to be other exemplar peer share price valuations, with further consideration of internal growth projections. As these share prices, which are updated at least annually, have not been reached, capital return has consisted solely of stock repurchases. Exemplar share price comparisons are based upon multiples of earnings per share over time, with further consideration of returns on equity and assets. While repurchase amounts are planned in the fourth quarter of the preceding year, repurchases may be modified or terminated at any time, should capital need to be conserved.

*2024 Repurchase Program*

On October 26, 2023, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2024 fiscal year (the "2024 Repurchase Program"). Under the 2024 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased $250.0 million in value of the Company's common stock in 2024.

*2025 Repurchase Program* 

On October 23, 2024, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2025 fiscal year (the "2025 Repurchase Program"), which authorizes the Company to repurchase $37.5 million in value of the Company's common stock per fiscal quarter in 2025, for a maximum amount of $150.0 million. On July 7, 2025, the Board authorized the increase of the capacity of the Company's existing share repurchase program for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 to $300.0 million and $200.0 million for 2026 (the "Repurchase Plan"). This increase cumulatively represents up to $500.0 million in share repurchases through year-end 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 2,034,053 and 3,472,396 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2025 Repurchase Program at an average price of $73.74 per share and $64.80 per share, respectively.

**Note 12. Regulatory Matters**

##### It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization's expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that a financial holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company's ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries .
Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. Without the prior approval of the OCC, a dividend may not be paid if the total of all dividends declared by

------

a bank in any calendar year is in excess of the current year's net income combined with the retained net income of the two preceding years. Additionally, a dividend may not be paid in excess of a bank's retained earnings. Moreover, an insured depository institution may not pay a dividend if the payment would cause it to be less than "adequately capitalized" under the prompt corrective action framework as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or if the institution is in default in the payment of an assessment due to the FDIC. Similarly, a banking organization that fails to satisfy regulatory minimum capital conservation buffer requirements will be subject to certain limitations, which include restrictions on capital distributions.

In addition to these explicit limitations, federal and state regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or financial holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Moreover, capital requirements may be modified based upon regulatory rules or by regulatory discretion at any time reflecting a variety of factors including deterioration in asset quality.

The following table sets forth our regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Tier 1 capital | Tier 1 capital  | Total capital  | Common equity |
|  | to average  | to risk-weighted  | to risk-weighted  | Tier 1 to risk |
|  | assets ratio | assets ratio | assets ratio | weighted assets |
| <u>As of September 30, 2025</u> |  |  |  |  |
| The Bancorp, Inc. | 8.74% | 12.99% | 14.09% | 12.99% |
| The Bancorp Bank, National Association | 9.85% | 14.66% | 15.77% | 14.66% |
| "Well capitalized" institution (under federal regulations-Basel III) | 5.00% | 8.00% | 10.00% | 6.50% |

**Note 13. Legal**

***The Delaware FCRA Matter.*** On June 12, 2019, the Bank was served with a qui tam lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. The Delaware Department of Justice intervened in the litigation. The case is titled *The State of Delaware, Plaintiff, Ex rel. Russell S. Rogers, Plaintiff-Relator v. The Bancorp Bank, Interactive Communications International, Inc., and InComm Financial Services, Inc., Defendants*. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act by not paying balances on certain open-loop "Vanilla" prepaid cards to the State of Delaware as unclaimed property. The complaint seeks actual and treble damages, statutory penalties, and attorneys' fees. The Bank has filed an answer denying the allegations and continues to vigorously defend against the claims. The Bank and other defendants previously filed a motion to dismiss the action, but that motion to dismiss was denied and the parties were engaged in the first phase of discovery. On March 25, 2025, the State of Delaware filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice, purportedly due to a related administrative proceeding commenced by or on behalf of the State of Delaware Office of Unclaimed Property. Briefing on the State of Delaware's motion to dismiss without prejudice has been completed and the first phase of discovery is stayed pending a decision on that motion to dismiss. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of the matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operations.

***The Cachet Matter.*** On September 14, 2021, Cachet Financial Services ("Cachet") filed an adversary proceeding against the Bank in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, titled *Cachet Financial Services, Plaintiff v. The Bancorp Bank, et al., Defendants*. The case was filed within the context of Cachet's pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The Bank previously served as the Originating Depository Financial Institution ("ODFI") for ACH transactions in connection with Cachet's payroll services business. The matter arises from the Bank's termination of its Payroll Processing ODFI Agreement with Cachet on October 23, 2019, for safety and soundness reasons. The initial complaint alleged eight causes of action: (i) breach of contract; (ii) negligence; (iii) intentional interference with contract; (iv) conversion; (v) express indemnity; (vi) implied indemnity; (vii) accounting; and (viii) objection to the Bank's proof of claim in the bankruptcy case. On November 4, 2021, the Bank filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to withdraw the reference of the adversary proceeding to the bankruptcy court, which was denied in February 2023. On August 3, 2022, Cachet served the Bank with a first amended complaint wherein Cachet, among other things, withdrew its implied indemnity claim against the Bank and added several defendants unaffiliated with the Bank and causes of action related to those parties. On September 28, 2022, the Bank filed a partial motion to dismiss, seeking to dispose of the majority of Cachet's claims against the

------

Bank. On September 12, 2024, the Bank's partial motion to dismiss, seeking to dispose of the majority of Cachet's claims, was denied on procedural grounds and without reaching the issues the Bank raised in its partial motion to dismiss. On October 31, 2024, Cachet filed its second amended complaint, which as it relates to the Bank, is substantially similar to the first amended complaint; however, the second amended complaint seeks only "damages in amount to be proven at trial", whereas the first amended complaint sought "damages in amount to be proven but in no event less than $150 million." The Bank is vigorously defending against the second amended complaint. In furtherance of such a defense, on December 17, 2024, the Bank filed its partial motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, which was granted in part and denied in part on May 2, 2025. Specifically, Cachet's negligence claim, conversion claim, and accounting claim were dismissed with prejudice. On July 10, 2025, the Bank answered the second amended complaint. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operations.

***The CFPB CID Matter.*** On March 27, 2023, the Bank received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") seeking documents and information related to the Bank's escheatment practices in connection with certain accounts offered through one of the Bank's program partners. The Bank continues to cooperate with the CFPB, including by responding to the CID. While the Company remains confident in the Bank's escheatment practices, it cannot predict the timing or final outcome of the investigation. Future costs related to this matter may be material and could continue to be material at least through the completion of the investigation.

***The City Attorney of San Francisco Matter.*** On November 21, 2023, TBBK Card Services, Inc. ("TBBK Card"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was served with a complaint filed in the Superior Court of the State of California (the "California Superior Court") captioned *People of the State of California, acting by and through San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu, Plaintiff v. InComm Financial Services, Inc., TBBK Card Services, Inc., Sutton Bank, Pathward, N.A., and Does 1-10, Defendants*. The complaint principally alleges that the defendants engaged in unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business acts and practices related to the packaging of "Vanilla" prepaid cards and the refund process for unauthorized transactions that occurred due to card draining practices. On December 14, 2023, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. On March 26, 2024, the case was remanded to the California Superior Court. TBBK Card is vigorously defending against the claims. On May 6, 2024, TBBK Card filed a motion to quash service of the summons as to TBBK Card for lack of personal jurisdiction. On April 22, 2025, the California Superior Court issued an order denying TBBK Card's motion to quash service of the summons and also denying the other defendants' motions to quash service of the summons. On May 6, 2025, TBBK Card filed its petition for writ of mandate in the Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, Division One of the State of California (the "California First Appellate District") in order to appeal the California Superior Court's decision to deny the motion to quash the summons. On August 5, 2025, the California First Appellate District denied TBBK Card's petition for writ of mandate and the other defendants' writs of mandate were subsequently denied. On August 15, 2025, TBBK Card filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court regarding the California First Appellate District's denial of its writ of mandate. As of September 30, 2025, briefing on the petition for review had been completed and a decision remained pending. Unlike the petition for the writ of mandate, the petition for review does not stay the proceedings in the California Superior Court. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operations.

***The Oxygen Matter.*** On November 25, 2024, the Bank commenced arbitration through the American Arbitration Association seeking approximately $1.808 million from Oxygen, Inc. ("Oxygen") owed under the Private Label Account Program Agreement related to unpaid invoices and indemnification obligations owed by Oxygen. On January 13, 2025, Oxygen answered the Bank's arbitration demand, generally denying the allegations made by the Bank, and filed its Counterclaim against the Bank. The Counterclaim alleges (i) that the termination of the Private Label Account Program Agreement was pretextual, (ii) the Bank breached its notification obligations in terminating the Private Label Account Program Agreement, (iii) the Bank breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (iv) conversion of $1.2 million by the Bank. The *ad damnum* clause of the Counterclaim also seeks compensatory damages in an amount not less than $40 million. The Bank believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the Counterclaim. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operations.

***The Putative Securities Class Action Matter.*** On March 14, 2025, Nathan Linden filed a putative securities class action complaint captioned *Nathan Linden v. The Bancorp, Inc., et al.* in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and purports to assert a class action on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between January 25, 2024 and March 4, 2025. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false statements and omissions about the Company's business, prospects, and operations, with a focus on the Company's commercial real estate bridge loan portfolio and related provision for credit losses. The named plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, fees, interest, and costs. On September 29, 2025, the court appointed Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority as lead plaintiff; the case is now captioned *Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority v. The Bancorp, Inc.* The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations in the complaint. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of the matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operations.

------

***The OREO Escrow Dispute****.* As previously disclosed in prior filed current reports of Form 8-K, the majority of the Bank's "Other Real Estate Owned" property is comprised of an apartment complex. The underlying balance for this property is $43.0 million as of September 30, 2025. As previously disclosed, the property was under an agreement of sale. On June 24, 2025, the relevant Bank subsidiary, TBB Crescent Park Drive, LLC ("TBB Crescent"), terminated the agreement of sale for the property and demanded the escrow agent release to TBB Crescent all earnest money deposits received to date, totaling $3.0 million. On June 26, 2025, the purchaser objected to the release of the earnest money deposits. On July 11, 2025, TBB Crescent filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that it is the party entitled to the earnest money deposits. On September 5, 2025, the purchaser filed its answer and counterclaim against TBB Crescent seeking, among other things, specific performance of the agreement of sale along with alleged actual, consequential, and exemplary damages. On September 30, 2025, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, whereby TBB Crescent would receive approximately $2.3 million of the earnest money deposits. TBB Crescent subsequently received the approximately $2.3 million of the earnest money deposits and the case was dismissed with prejudice on October 20, 2025.

In addition, we are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.

**Note 14. Segment Financials**

The Company's operations can be classified under three segments: fintech, specialty finance (three sub-segments) and corporate. The chief operating decision maker for these segments is the Chief Executive Officer. The fintech segment includes the deposit balances and non-interest income generated by prepaid, debit and other card accessed accounts, ACH processing and other payments-related processing. It also includes loan balances and interest and non-interest income from credit products generated through payment relationships. Specialty finance includes: (i) REBL comprised primarily of apartment building rehabilitation loans (ii) institutional banking comprised primarily of security-backed lines of credit, cash value insurance policy-backed lines of credit and advisor financing and (iii) commercial loans comprised primarily of SBA loans and direct lease financing. It also includes deposits generated by those business lines. Corporate includes the Company's investment securities, corporate overhead and expenses which have not been allocated to segments. Expenses not allocated include certain management, board oversight, administrative, legal, IT and technology infrastructure, human resources, audit, regulatory and CRA, finance and accounting, marketing and other corporate expenses.

In the segment reporting below, a non-GAAP subtotal is shown, captioned "Income before non-interest expense allocation". That subtotal presents an income subtotal before consideration of allocated corporate expenses which might be fixed, semi-fixed or otherwise resist changes without regard to a particular line of business. It also reflects a market-based allocation of interest expense to financing segments which utilizes funding from deposits generated by the fintech segment, which earns offsetting interest income. That allocation is shown in the "Interest allocation" line item. The rate utilized for the allocation corresponds to an estimated average of the three year FHLB rate. The fintech segment interest expense line item consists of interest expense actually incurred to generate its deposits, which is the Company's actual cost of funds. That actual cost is allocated to the corporate segment which requires funding for the Company's investment securities portfolio.

The more significant non-interest expense categories correspond to the Company's consolidated statements of operations and include salaries and employee benefits, data processing and software expenses that are incurred directly by those segments. Expenses incurred by departments which provide support services to the segments also include those categories of expense and others which are allocated to segments based on estimated usage. Those support department allocations are reflected in the "Risk, financial crimes and compliance" and "Information technology and operations" line items. Other expenses not shown separately are monitored for purposes of expense management, but, unless atypically high, are ordinarily of lesser significance than the categories noted above.

For the fintech segment, deposit growth and the cost thereof and non-interest income growth, are factors in the decision-making process and are respectively reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For specialty finance, loan growth and related yields are factors in decision making. Comparative loan balance information measuring loan growth is presented in "Note 6. Loans." In addition to consideration of the above profitability and growth aspects of its operations, decision making is focused on the management of current and future potential risks. Such risks include, but are not limited to, credit, interest rate, liquidity, regulatory, and reputation. The loan committee provides support and oversight for credit risk, while the asset liability committee provides support and oversight over pricing, duration and liquidity. The risk committee provides further oversight over those areas in addition to regulatory, reputation and other risks.

**Overview**

The Bancorp's balance sheet has a risk profile enhanced by the special nature of the collateral supporting its loan niches, and related underwriting. Those loan niches have contributed to increased earnings levels, even during periods in which markets have experienced various economic stresses. Real estate bridge lending is comprised of workforce housing which we consider to be working class apartments at more affordable rental rates, in selected states. We believe that underwriting requirements provide significant protection against loss, as supported by LTV ratios based on third-party appraisals. SBLOC and IBLOC loans are collateralized by marketable securities and the cash value of life insurance, respectively, while SBA loans are either SBA 7(a) loans that come with significant government-related guarantees, or SBA 504 loans that are made at 50-60% LTVs. Additional detail with respect to these loan portfolios is included in the related tables in "Financial Condition." Also enhancing our risk profile is the substantial earnings impact of its payment businesses.

*Nature of Operations*

We are a Delaware financial holding company and our primary, wholly owned subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, National Association. The vast majority of our revenue and income is currently generated through the Bank. In our continuing operations, we have four primary lines of specialty lending in our national specialty finance segment:

SBLOC, IBLOC, and investment advisor financing;

leasing (direct lease financing);

SBLs, consisting primarily of SBA loans; and

non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans.

SBLOCs and IBLOCs are loans that are generated through affinity groups and are respectively collateralized by marketable securities and the cash value of insurance policies. SBLOCs are typically offered in conjunction with brokerage accounts and are offered nationally. IBLOC loans are typically viewed as an alternative to standard policy loans from insurance companies and are utilized by our existing advisor base as well as insurance agents throughout the country. Investment advisor financing are loans made to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another investment firm or internal succession. Vehicle fleet and, to a lesser extent, other equipment leases are generated in a number of Atlantic Coast and other states and are collateralized primarily by vehicles. SBA loans are generated nationally and are collateralized by commercial properties and other types of collateral. Our non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans, at fair value, are primarily collateralized by multifamily properties (apartment buildings), and to a lesser extent, by hotel and retail properties. These loans were originally generated for sale through securitizations. In 2020, we decided to retain these loans on our balance sheet as interest-earning assets and resumed originating such loans in the third quarter of 2021. These new originations are identified as real estate bridge loans, consist of apartment building loans, and are held for investment in the loan portfolio. Prior originations originally intended for securitizations continue to be accounted for at fair value, and are included on the balance sheet in "Commercial loans, at fair value."

In our fintech segment we make consumer fintech loans which consist of short-term extensions of credit including secured credit card loans made in conjunction with marketers and servicers.

The majority of our deposits and non-interest income are generated in our fintech segment, which consists of consumer transaction accounts accessed by Bank-issued prepaid or debit cards and payment companies that process their clients' corporate and consumer payments, automated clearing house ("ACH") accounts, the collection of card payments on behalf of merchants and other payments through our Bank. The card-accessed deposit accounts are comprised of debit and prepaid card accounts that are generated by companies

------

that market directly to end users. Our card-accessed deposit account types are diverse and include: consumer and business debit, general purpose reloadable prepaid, pre-tax medical spending benefit, payroll, gift, government, corporate incentive, reward, business payment accounts and others. Our ACH accounts facilitate bill payments, and our acquiring accounts provide clearing and settlement services for payments made to merchants which must be settled through associations such as Visa or Mastercard. Consumer transaction account banking services are provided to organizations with a pre-existing customer base tailored to support or complement the services provided by these organizations to their customers, which we refer to as "affinity or private label banking." These services include loan and deposit accounts for investment advisory companies through our Institutional Banking department. We typically provide these services under the name and through the facilities of each organization with whom we develop a relationship.

**Executive Summary**

On August 18, 2025, we completed an offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Notes due 2030. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were utilized to repay all $100.0 million principal amount of the 4.75% note due August 2025, and the remaining proceeds may be utilized to fund our share repurchase program and for general corporate purposes.

On October 23, 2024, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2025 fiscal year which authorizes the Company to repurchase $37.5 million in value of our common stock per fiscal quarter in 2025, for a maximum amount of $150.0 million. On July 7, 2025, the Board authorized the increase of the capacity of the existing share repurchase program for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 to $300.0 million and $200.0 million for 2026. This increase cumulatively represents up to $500.0 million in share repurchases through year-end 2026.

We repurchased 2,034,053 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $73.74 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and our share repurchases for the nine months of 2025 were 3,472,396 shares at an average price of $64.80. As a result of share repurchases, outstanding shares, net of treasury shares, at September 30, 2025 amounted to 44.5 million, compared to 47.3 million shares at December 31, 2024, or a reduction of 6%.

We remain focused on growing our fintech revenues through new partnerships, products and services. Consumer fintech loans of $785.0 million as of September 30, 2025 increased 15% compared to a $680.5 million balance at June 30, 2025 and increased 180% compared to the September 30, 2024 balance of $280.1 million. Certain loan fees on consumer fintech loans are recorded as non-interest income, and totaled $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In addition, as part of our strategies we will reallocate or reduce resources where appropriate. As part of those efforts, in the fourth quarter of 2025 we plan to restructure our institutional banking business to de-emphasize growth and reallocate space on our balance sheet. We expect this action will result in a $1.3 million restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $8.0 million in run-rate expense reductions in 2026.

*Key Performance Indicators*

We use a number of key performance indicators ("KPIs") to measure our overall financial performance and believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our underlying operational performance and trends. Those indicators include:

*Return on assets and return on equity*. Two KPIs commonly used within the banking industry to measure overall financial performance are return on assets and return on equity. Return on assets measures the amount of earnings compared to the level of assets utilized to generate those earnings and is derived by dividing net income by average assets. Return on equity measures the amount of earnings compared to the equity utilized to generate those earnings and is derived by dividing net income by average shareholders' equity.

*Ratio of equity to assets*. Ratio of equity to assets is another KPI frequently utilized within the banking industry and is derived by dividing period-end shareholders' equity by period-end total assets.

*Net interest margin and credit losses*. Net interest margin is a KPI associated with net interest income, which is the largest component of our earnings and is the difference between the interest earned on our interest-earning assets consisting of loans and investments, less the interest on our funding, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest margin is derived by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Higher levels of earnings and net interest income on lower levels of assets, equity and interest-earning assets are generally desirable. However, these indicators must be considered in light of regulatory capital requirements, which impact equity, and credit risk inherent in loans. Accordingly, the magnitude of credit losses is an additional KPI.

*Other KPIs*. Other KPIs we use from time to time include growth in average loans and leases, non-interest income growth, the level of non-interest expense and various capital measures including equity to assets.

---

At September 30, 2025, the ratio of equity to assets was 9.05%, compared to 10.07% at September 30, 2024, primarily driven by reductions in equity from share repurchases partially offset by an increase in equity capital from retained earnings.

Net interest margin was 4.45% in the third quarter of 2025, versus 4.78% in the third quarter of 2024 reflecting the impact of Federal Reserve rate decreases beginning in September 2024.

Non-interest income—fintech fees increased to $35.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, up 19.3% from $29.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 and up 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the comparable prior year, which reflected continued organic volume growth with existing partners and products and the impact of new products launched within the past year.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We view critical accounting estimates as those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies and estimates as of September 30, 2025, remain unchanged from those presented in the 2024 Form 10-K, as amended, under Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

**Results of Operations**

***Comparison of third quarter of 2025 to third quarter of 2024***

*Net Income*

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $54.9 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to $51.5 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Income before income taxes was $73.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of 2024.

*Net Interest Income*

Our net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 increased $465,000, or 0.5%, to $94.2 million from $93.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Our interest income for the third quarter of 2025 decreased to $136.4 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 2.4%, from $139.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease reflected lower investment securities income, driven by lower securities balances. While our average loans and leases increased to $6.69 billion for the third quarter of 2025 from $6.02 billion for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $666.2 million, or 11.1%, lower rates resulted in decreased interest income. Related interest income decreased $1.5 million on a tax equivalent basis, reflecting the impact of the aforementioned Federal Reserve rate decreases. Additionally, fees on the majority of consumer fintech loan balances are recorded as non-interest income, which impacts both net interest income and net interest margin. The fees are included in non-interest income as most of the Bank's current fintech loans do not charge interest to the consumer. The Bank generally earns fees on such loans based on transaction activity and volume; those fees are recorded as non-interest income. Of the total $1.5 million decrease in loan interest income on a tax equivalent basis, the largest decreases were $3.7 million for all real estate bridge loans, $2.0 million for IBLOC, and $545,000 for leasing partially offset by increases in small business lending, fintech, investment advisor financing, and SBLOC of $2.5 million, $1.0 million, $959,000, and $831,000 respectively.

Our average investment securities of $1.43 billion for the third quarter of 2025 decreased $151.6 million from $1.58 billion for the third quarter of 2024. Related tax equivalent interest income decreased $2.3 million, reflecting lower securities balances.

Our net interest margin (calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets) for the third quarter of 2025 was 4.45% compared to 4.78% for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 33 basis points. While the yield on interest-earning assets decreased 68 basis points, the cost of deposits and interest-bearing liabilities decreased 39 basis points, or a net change of 29 basis points. Average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank increased $107.6 million, or 43.5%, to $355.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $247.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, the average yield on our loans decreased to 6.87% from 7.73% for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 86 basis points. The yield on taxable investment securities in the third quarter of 2025 was 4.90% compared to 5.02% for the third quarter of 2024.

For the third quarter of 2025, average interest-earning assets increased to $8.47 billion, an increase of $622.3 million, or 7.9%, from $7.85 billion in the third quarter of 2024. The increase reflected increased average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $107.6 million, increased average balances of loans and leases of $666.2 million, or 11.1%, offset by decreased average investment securities of $151.6 million, or 9.6%. For those respective periods, average demand and interest checking deposits increased $618.7 million, or 8.9%. The interest expense shown for demand and interest checking is primarily comprised of interest paid to our affinity groups.

*Provision for Credit Losses on Loans*

Our provision for credit losses was $45.1 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to a provision of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $41.5 million. The increase in provision is primarily attributable to a provision for consumer fintech loans of $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to no related provision in the same quarter of 2024. We recognized a related $39.8 million non-interest income amount in the third quarter of 2025 related to a credit enhancement provided contractually by a third party. Accordingly, there have been no related net losses. See further discussion of this program in "Financial Condition—Portfolio Performance" in MD&A.

In addition, the provision for credit losses on non-consumer fintech loans was $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by $3.1 million higher provision for the direct lease financing portfolio. The higher provision for the lease portfolio reflects the impact of elevated charge-offs in the third quarter of 2025.

For more information about our provision, allowance and credit loss experience, see "Financial Condition—Portfolio Performance" below and "Note 6. Loans" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

*Non-Interest Income*

Non-interest income was $80.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $32.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The $48.3 million, or 150.5%, increase between those respective periods is primarily driven by $39.8 million of consumer fintech loan credit enhancement income. Consumer fintech loan credit enhancement income correlates to a like amount for provision for credit losses on consumer fintech loans. See further discussion above under "Provision for Credit Losses on Loans."

Prepaid, debit card and related fees increased $1.6 million, or 6.7%, to $25.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase reflected higher transaction volume from new clients and organic growth from existing clients. ACH, card and other payment processing fees increased $1.2 million, or 30.4%, to $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting an increase in rapid funds transfer volume.

Consumer credit fintech fees increased $2.9 million to $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting increased loan volume.

Other non-interest income increased $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to the third quarter of 2024, which reflected $2.3 million from the forfeiture of an earnest money deposit for a terminated OREO sale agreement.

*Non-Interest Expense*

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total non-interest expense | $56404  | $53255  | $3149  | 5.9% |

---

------

Total non-interest expense was $56.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.1 million, or 5.9%, compared to $53.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase reflected a $3.5 million increase in salaries and benefits expense. Primary drivers of changes in non-interest expense were as follows:

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $3.5 million, reflecting higher stock and other incentive compensation, and employee insurance expense. The increase also reflected higher IT and cybersecurity, and higher financial crimes and risk management expense.

Data processing expense decreased $149,000, reflecting the impact of newly effective contract terms.

Audit expense increased $214,000, reflecting higher expense for regulatory filings.

Legal expense increased $428,000, reflecting the impact of fintech payments related matters and higher expense for regulatory filings.

Software expense increased $479,000, reflecting higher expenditures for information technology infrastructure including leasing, institutional banking, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk.

Other non-interest expense decreased $1.3 million, reflecting a one-time loss in the third quarter of 2024 from a transaction processing delay.

*Income Taxes*

Income tax expense was $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $17.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. A 24.9% effective tax rate in 2025 and a 25.4% effective tax rate in 2024, based on a 21% federal tax rate and the impact of various state income taxes.

Net income for the first nine months of 2025 was $171.9 million, or $3.64 per diluted share, compared to $161.6 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2024. Income before income taxes was $228.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $215.8 million in the first nine months of 2024.

*Net Interest Income*

Our net interest income for the first nine months of 2025 increased $1.5 million, or 0.5%, to $283.4 million from $281.9 million in the first nine months of 2024. Our interest income for the first nine months of 2025 increased to $419.3 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 1.6%, from $412.8 million for the first nine months of 2024. The increase in interest income reflected the impact of higher investment securities balances and $3.0 million of interest footnoted in the following "Average Daily Balances Table". While our average loans and leases increased to $6.55 billion for the first nine months of 2025 from $5.83 billion for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $715.5 million, or 12.3%, lower rates resulted in decreased interest income. Related interest income decreased $9.6 million on a tax equivalent basis. Additionally, fees on the majority of consumer fintech loan balances are recorded as non-interest income, which impacts both net interest income and net interest margin. The fees are included in non-interest income as most of the Bank's current fintech loans do not charge interest to the consumer. The Bank generally earns fees on such loans based on transaction activity and volume; those fees are recorded as non-interest income. Of the total $9.6 million decrease in loan interest income on a tax equivalent basis, the largest decreases were $11.9 million for all real estate bridge loans and $7.1 million for SBLOC and IBLOC, while small business lending, investment advisor financing, fintech, and leasing increased $6.1 million, $2.7 million, $1.8 million, and $696,000, respectively.

Our average investment securities of $1.46 billion for the first nine months of 2025 increased $205.6 million from $1.26 billion for the first nine months of 2024. Related tax equivalent interest income increased $11.2 million, reflecting an increase in balances and $3.0 million of prior period interest on CRE-2, which was repaid in the second quarter of 2025 as a result of the sale of underlying collateral. That security was the only remaining security from our prior securitizations.

Our net interest margin (calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets) for the first nine months of 2025 was 4.32% compared to 4.96% for the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of 64 basis points. While the yield on interest-earning assets decreased 87 basis points, the cost of deposits and interest-bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points, or a net change of 58 basis points. Average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank increased $259.6 million, or 53.3%, to $746.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 from $486.9 million in the first nine months of 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, the average yield on our loans decreased to 6.84% from 7.90% for the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of 106 basis points. The yield on taxable investment securities in the first nine months of 2025 was 5.30% compared to 4.98% for the first nine months of 2024, also reflecting the aforementioned $3.0 million of prior period interest on CRE-2.

<sup>(3)</sup> The nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $3.0 million of interest income from a security that was known as "CRE-2" and which was related to our discontinued commercial real estate securitization business. The CRE-2 interest was repaid in the second quarter as a result of the final sale of underlying collateral related to that security. CRE-2 was the last security remaining related to the discontinued commercial real estate securitization business. The $3.0 million of prior period interest income was excluded from change due to rate.

For the first nine months of 2025, average interest-earning assets increased to $8.76 billion, an increase of $1.18 billion, or 15.6%, from $7.58 billion in the first nine months of 2024. The increase reflected increased average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $259.6 million, increased average balances of loans and leases of $715.5 million, or 12.3%, and increased average investment

------

securities of $205.6 million, or 16.3%. For those respective periods, average demand and interest checking deposits increased $1.22 billion, or 18.3%. The interest expense shown for demand and interest checking is primarily comprised of interest paid to our affinity groups.

*Provision for Credit Losses on Loans*

Our provision for credit losses was $136.3 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to a provision of $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $129.3 million. The increase is primarily attributable to a provision for consumer fintech loans of $128.9 million in the nine months of 2025, compared to no related provision in the same period of 2024. We recognized a related $128.9 million non-interest income amount in the nine months of 2025 related to a credit enhancement provided contractually by a third party. Accordingly, there have been no related net losses. See further discussion of this program in "Financial Condition—Portfolio Performance" in MD&A.

*Non-Interest Income*

Non-interest income was $247.8 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $92.2 million in the first nine months of 2024. The $155.6 million, or 168.7%, increase between those respective periods reflected $128.9 million of consumer fintech loan credit enhancement income which correlated to a like amount for provision for credit losses on consumer fintech loans, and an increase in prepaid, debit card and related fees. The increase also reflected increased ACH, card and other payment processing fees. Prepaid, debit card and related fees increased $4.4 million, or 6.0%, to $77.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $72.9 million in the first nine months of 2024. The increase reflected higher transaction volume from new clients and organic growth from existing clients. ACH, card and other payment processing fees increased $5.9 million, or 60.0%, to $15.8 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $9.9 million in the first nine months of 2024, reflecting an increase in rapid funds transfer volume.

Consumer credit fintech fees amounted to $12.1 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $1.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The impact of such lending may also be reflected in a lower cost of deposits, as a result of deposits required for secured credit card loans.

Net realized and unrealized gains on commercial loans, at fair value, decreased $495,000, or 22.4%, to $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2025 from $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2024, as related loan balances continue to paydown.

Leasing related income increased $2.6 million, or 90.4%, to $5.5 million for the first nine months of 2025 from $2.9 million for the first nine months of 2024.

Other non-interest income increased $4.0 million, or 153.5%, to $6.5 million for the first nine months of 2025 from $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 which reflected increased payoff fees on REBL loans and $2.3 million from the forfeiture of an earnest money deposit for a terminated OREO sale agreement.

*Non-Interest Expense*

The following table presents the principal categories of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total non-interest expense | $166921  | $151413  | $15508  | 10.2% |

---

------

Total non-interest expense was $166.9 million for the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $15.5 million, or 10.2%, compared to $151.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. Of the $15.5 million increase, $10.2 million resulted from an increase in salaries and benefits expense. Primary drivers of changes in non-interest expense were as follows:

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $10.2 million, reflecting higher stock and other incentive compensation, and employee insurance expense. The increase also reflected higher IT and cybersecurity, and higher financial crimes and risk management expense.

Data processing expense decreased $561,000, reflecting the impact of newly effective contract terms.

Audit expense increased $735,000, reflecting higher expense for regulatory filings.

Legal expense increased $2.8 million, reflecting payments related matters and higher expense for regulatory filings.

FDIC insurance expense increased $542,000, reflecting an increase in the assessment rate in the second quarter of 2025.

Software expense increased $1.5 million, reflecting higher expenditures for information technology infrastructure including leasing, institutional banking, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk.

*Income Taxes*

Income tax expense was $56.1 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $54.1 million in the first nine months of 2024. A 24.6% effective tax rate in 2025 and a 25.1% effective tax rate in 2024 based on a 21% federal tax rate and the impact of various state income taxes.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity defines our ability to generate funds at a reasonable cost to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, satisfy borrowing needs and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the institution's ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flows without adversely affecting daily operations or financial condition. The Company's liquidity management policy requirements include sustaining defined liquidity minimums, concentration monitoring and management, stress testing, contingency planning and related oversight. Based on our sources of funding and liquidity discussed below, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources available for our needs in the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. We invest the funds we do not need for daily operations primarily in overnight federal funds or in our interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve. We actively monitor our positions and contingent funding sources daily.

Our primary source of funding has been deposits. Average total deposits increased by $618.2 million, or 8.8%, to $7.63 billion for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. Federal Reserve average balances increased to $355.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $247.3 million in the third quarter of 2024.

One source of contingent liquidity is available-for-sale securities, which amounted to $1.38 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.50 billion at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, outstanding loans amounted to $6.67 billion, compared to $6.11 billion at the prior year end, an increase of $559.0 million representing a use of funds. Commercial loans, at fair value, decreased to $142.7 million from $223.1 million between those respective dates, a decrease of $80.5 million, which provided funding as that portfolio is in runoff.

Historically we have originated loans for securitization and sale, but in recent years we are retaining substantially all loans on our balance sheet. Our liquidity planning has not previously placed undue reliance on securitizations, and while our future planning excludes the impact of securitizations, other liquidity sources, primarily deposits, are determined to be adequate.

While we do not have a traditional branch system, we believe that our core deposits, which include our demand, interest checking, savings and money market accounts, have similar characteristics to those of a bank with a branch system. The majority of our deposit accounts are obtained with the assistance of third-parties and as a result have historically been classified as brokered by the FDIC. Prior to December 2020, FDIC guidance for classification of deposit accounts as brokered was relatively broad, and generally included accounts which were referred to or "placed" with the institution by other companies. If the Bank ceases to be categorized as "well capitalized" under banking regulations, it will be prohibited from accepting, renewing or rolling over any of its deposits classified as brokered without the consent of the FDIC. In such a case, the FDIC's refusal to grant consent to our accepting, renewing or rolling over brokered deposits could effectively restrict or eliminate the ability of the Bank to operate its business lines as presently conducted. In December 2020, the FDIC issued a new regulation which, in the third quarter of 2021, resulted in the majority of our deposits being reclassified from brokered to non-brokered. On July 30, 2024, the FDIC proposed a regulation eliminating certain automatic exceptions which resulted in the reclassification of significant amounts of our deposits from brokered to non-brokered as a result of the December 2020 rules changes, while retaining the ability of financial institutions to reapply. If the proposed regulation were to be adopted, significant amounts of our deposits could be reclassified as brokered, which could also result in an increase in our federal deposit insurance rate and expense. On January 21, 2025, the FDIC announced that the proposed regulation would not be adopted. Of our total deposits of $7.33 billion as of September 30, 2025, $509.3 million were classified as brokered and an estimated $623.4 million were not insured by FDIC insurance, which requires identification of the depositor and is limited to $250,000 per identified depositor. Uninsured accounts may represent a greater liquidity risk than FDIC-insured accounts should large depositors withdraw funds as a result of negative financial developments either at the Bank or in the economy. Significant amounts of our uninsured deposits are comprised of small

------

balances, such as anonymous gift cards and corporate incentive cards for which there is no identified depositor. We do not believe that such uninsured accounts present a significant liquidity risk.

Certain components of our deposits experience seasonality, creating greater excess liquidity at certain times. The largest deposit inflows occur in the first quarter of the year when certain of our accounts are credited with tax refund payments from the U.S. Treasury.

While consumer deposit accounts, including prepaid and debit card accounts, comprise the vast majority of our funding needs, we maintain secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve that are collateralized by pledged loans. As of September 30, 2025, we had $200.0 million borrowed under these facilities, and $2.78 billion of additional available capacity which we can access anytime. We expect to continue to maintain our facilities with the FHLB and Federal Reserve.

As a holding company conducting substantially all our business through our subsidiaries, our near-term need for liquidity consists principally of cash for required interest payments on our subordinated debentures, consisting of 2038 Debentures, and senior debt, consisting of $200.0 million senior notes with an interest rate of 7.375% and maturing in September 2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes"). Semi-annual interest payments on the 2030 Senior Notes are approximately $7.4 million, and quarterly interest payments on the 2038 Debentures are approximately $300,000. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash reserves of approximately $96.0 million at the holding company. We expect that a significant portion of that cash will fund share repurchases. Stock repurchases have historically been funded by dividends from the Bank, as have been interest payments on the above debt instruments. Stock repurchases may be terminated at any time. The holding company's sources of liquidity are primarily comprised of dividends paid by the Bank to the Company, and the issuance of debt.

Included in our cash and cash-equivalents at September 30, 2025 were $74.5 million of interest-earning deposits which primarily consisted of deposits with the Federal Reserve.

In 2025, $117.1 million of securities purchases were exceeded by $272.0 million of securities redemptions. We had outstanding commitments to fund loans, including unused lines of credit, of $1.95 billion and $1.98 billion as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The majority of our commitments are variable rate and originate with SBLOC. The recorded amount of such commitments has, for many accounts, been based on the full amount of collateral in a customer's investment account. The funding requirements for such commitments occur on a measured basis over time and would be funded by normal deposit growth. Additionally, these loans are "demand" loans and as such, represent a contingent source of funding.

**Capital Resources and Requirements**

We must comply with capital adequacy guidelines issued by our regulators. A bank must, in general, have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% and a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk weighted assets of 6.5% to be considered "well capitalized." The Tier I leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets for the quarter. "Tier I capital" includes common shareholders' equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles. At September 30, 2025, the Bank was "well capitalized" under banking regulations.

The following table sets forth our regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the periods indicated:

**Asset and Liability Management**

The management of rate sensitive assets and liabilities is essential to controlling interest rate risk and optimizing interest margins. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market rates. Interest rate sensitivity measures the relative volatility of an institution's interest margin resulting from changes in market interest rates. While it is difficult to predict the impact of inflation and responsive Federal Reserve rate changes on our net interest income, the Federal Reserve has historically utilized increases in the overnight federal funds rate as one tool in fighting inflation. As a result of high rates of inflation, the Federal Reserve raised rates in 2022 and in 2023. In the third quarter of 2024 the

------

Federal Reserve began lowering rates and has held rates steady in the first two quarters of 2025. In the third quarter of 2025 the Federal Reserve began lowering rates. Our largest funding source, prepaid and debit card deposit accounts, contractually adjusts to only a portion of increases or decreases in rates which are largely determined by such Federal Reserve actions. That pricing has generally supported the maintenance of a balance sheet for which net interest income tends to increase with increases in rates. While deposits reprice to only a portion of Federal Reserve rate changes, such changes are immediate. Interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and securities, tend to adjust more fully to rate increases at lagged contractual pricing intervals. The majority of our loans and securities are variable rate and generally reprice monthly or quarterly, although some reprice over several years. Additionally, the impact of loan interest rate floors which must be exceeded before rates on certain loans increase, may result in decreases in net interest income with lesser increases in rates. Cumulative 2022 Federal Reserve interest rate increases resulted in contractual rates on loans generally exceeding rate floors beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

We have adopted policies designed to manage net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. To effectively administer the policies and to monitor our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we maintain an asset/liability committee, consisting of the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer and others. This committee meets quarterly to review our financial results, develop strategies to optimize margins and to respond to market conditions. The primary goal of our policies is to optimize margins and manage interest rate risk, subject to overall policy constraints for prudent management of interest rate risk.

We monitor, manage and control interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including the use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as "gap analysis") and an interest rate risk management model. With the interest rate risk management model, we project future net interest income and then estimate the effect of various changes in interest rates on that projected net interest income. We also use the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios. Traditional gap analysis involves arranging our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or "interest rate sensitivity gap") between the assets and liabilities that we estimate will reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.

Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates. Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will re-price, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.

The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing structure of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 2025. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The majority of transaction and savings balances are assumed to be "core" deposits, or deposits that will generally remain with us regardless of market interest rates. We estimate the repricing characteristics of these deposits based on historical performance, past experience, judgmental predictions and other deposit behavior assumptions. However, we may choose not to reprice liabilities proportionally to changes in market interest rates for competitive or other reasons. Additionally, although non-interest-bearing transaction accounts are not paid interest, we estimate certain of the balances will reprice as a result of the contractual fees that are paid to the affinity groups which are based upon a rate index, and therefore are included in interest expense. We have adjusted the transaction account balances in the table downward, to better reflect the impact of their partial adjustment to changes in rates. Loans and security balances, which adjust more fully to market rate changes, are based upon actual balances. The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans, mortgage and asset backed securities are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow, including prepayments based on historical data and current market trends. The table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on our net interest income because the repricing and related behavior of certain categories of assets and liabilities (for example, prepayments of loans and withdrawal of deposits) is beyond our control. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at different times and at different rate levels.

<sup>(1)</sup> Transaction accounts are comprised primarily of demand deposits. While demand deposits are non-interest-bearing, related fees paid to affinity groups may reprice according to specified indices.

The methods used to analyze interest rate sensitivity in this table have a number of limitations. Certain assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in interest rates even though they reprice or mature in the same or similar time periods. The interest rates on certain assets and liabilities may change at different times than market interest rates, with some changing in advance of changes in market rates and some lagging behind changes in market rates. Additionally, the actual prepayments and withdrawals we experience when interest rates change may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the data shown in the table. Accordingly, actual results can and often do differ from projections.

We believe that the assumptions utilized in evaluating our estimated net interest income are reasonable; however, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on estimated net interest income, could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from presumed behavior of various deposit and loan categories. The following table shows the effects of interest rate shocks on our net portfolio value described as Market Value of Portfolio Equity ("MVPE") and net interest income. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately and sustain parallel shifts. For interest rate increases or decreases of 100 and 200 basis points, our policy includes a guideline that our MVPE ratio should not decrease more than 10% and 15%, respectively, and that net interest income should not decrease more than 10% and 15%, respectively. As illustrated in the following table, we complied with our asset/liability policy guidelines at September 30, 2025. While our modeling suggests that rate increases of 100 and 200 basis points will have a positive impact on net interest income (as shown in the table below), the actual amount of such increase cannot be determined, and there can be no assurance any increase will be realized. Because the Company has emphasized variable rate instruments in its loan and investment portfolios, it tends to benefit from higher interest rate environments. Future Federal Reserve rate reductions may result in a return to lower net interest income levels. In April 2024, the Company purchased approximately $900.0 million of fixed rate commercial and residential mortgage securities of varying maturities to reduce its exposure to lower levels of net interest income, in anticipation of Federal Reserve rate reductions. In September 2024, the Federal Reserve began to lower rates. Such purchases would also reduce the additional net interest income which would result should the Federal Reserve increase rates. At the time of purchase, those securities had respective estimated weighted average yields and lives of approximately 5.11% and eight years, respectively.

*Interest-earning Deposits* 

At September 30, 2025, we had a total of $74.5 million of interest-earning deposits compared to $564.1 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $489.5 million. These deposits were comprised primarily of balances at the Federal Reserve.

*Investment Portfolio*

Total investment securities decreased to $1.38 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $118.6 million, or 7.9%, from December 31, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized no credit-related losses on our investment securities.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 no investment securities were encumbered, as lines of credit established for borrowings were collateralized by loans.

The following table shows the contractual maturity distribution and the weighted average yield of our investment securities as of September 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands). The weighted average yield was calculated by dividing the amount of individual securities to total securities in each category, multiplying by the yield of the individual security and adding the results of those individual computations.

<sup>(1)</sup> SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC, are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, IBLOC loans amounted to $471.6 million and $548.1 million, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> At September 30, 2025 consumer fintech loans consisted of $416.0 million of secured credit card loans, with the balance comprised of other short-term extensions of credit.

<sup>(3)</sup> Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $1.8 million and $1.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the ACL and are immaterial. Includes warehouse financing related to loan sales to third party purchasers of $122.5 million and $65.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Weighted average look through loan to values ("LTVs") based on our most recent appraisals for the related mortgaged properties were less than 60% as-is and less than 55% as-stabilized.

The majority of our loan portfolio is loans recorded at amortized cost, which are recognized net of an allowance for credit loss. Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs increased to $6.67 billion at September 30, 2025 from $6.11 billion at December 31, 2024. This $555.9 million increase primarily reflected growth in our consumer fintech of $330.7 million, of which $214.8 million is secured credit card loans and $86.7 million is unsecured short-term extensions of credit that are covered by a third-party credit enhancement agreement. The $53.2 million increase in other loans includes $56.9 million of warehouse financing related to real estate bridge loan sales to third-party purchasers.

Commercial loans, at fair value are comprised of non-SBA commercial real estate loans and SBA loans which had been originated for sale or securitization through the first quarter of 2020, and which are now being held for investment on the balance sheet. These loans continue to be recognized at fair value, and this portfolio declined $80.5 million from December 31, 2024, as this portfolio continues to runoff. All originations are now being recognized at amortized cost.

The sections that follow contain detailed discussion of portfolio concentrations, estimated maturities, portfolio performance and allowance for credit loss.

**Institutional Banking**

The following table summarizes our institutional banking portfolio by type as of September 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Type | Principal | % of total |
| SBLOC | $1137423  | 60% |
| IBLOC | 471624  | 25% |
| Advisor financing | 285531  | 15% |
| Total | $1894578  | 100% |

---

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While the value of equities has fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less. This is because many collateral accounts are "balanced" and accordingly, have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Further, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to the market value of collateral.

The following table summarizes our ten largest SBLOC loans as of September 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Principal amount | % Principal to collateral |
|  | $23734  | 10% |

|  | 6096  | 37% |
| Total and weighted average | $93003  | 28% |

---

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We generally lend up to 95% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, ten insurance companies have been approved and, as of October 28, 2025, all were rated A- or better by AM Best.

Loans are considered to be non-performing if they are on a non-accrual basis or they are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. A loan which is past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest remains on accrual status only when it is both adequately secured as to principal and interest and is in the process of collection.

The following table summarizes our non-performing assets, with discussion of significant changes between periods to follow (dollars in thousands):

Non-accrual loans increased $41.5 million, driven primarily by a $26.9 million REBL loan (discussed below), $42.4 million of other additions, partially offset by $17.2 million of payments, $4.1 million transferred to OREO, $5.1 million of charge-offs, and $1.4 million transferred to repossessed vehicle inventory.

The increase in non-accrual REBL loans includes a $26.9 million loan balance which was transferred to non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2025. The loan is secured by an apartment building with an "as is" LTV of 75% and an "as stabilized" LTV of 65%, based on a December 2024 appraisal. In November 2025, we entered into a new loan agreement for this property with a borrower with greater financial capacity.

Loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest amounted to $20.5 million at September 30, 2025 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2024. The $14.7 million increase includes a $17.9 million REBL loan and $3.4 million of other additions, partially offset by $6.5 million of loan payments received.

Other real estate owned includes a REBL apartment building rehabilitation property with a balance of $43.0 million and $41.1 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Third-party appraisals on the property as of June 30, 2025, for "as stabilized" and "as is" values are of $59.1 million and $51.4 million, respectively, or LTVs of 73% and 83%.

Total non-performing assets presented on the table above exclude Commercial loans, at fair value for all periods presented. Loans at fair value on our Balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, and December 30, 2024, include a delinquent loan of $11.2 million which is collateralized by a vacant retail property. Based upon an August 2025 appraisal, the "as is" LTV is 86% and the "as stabilized" LTV is 62%. The borrower is attempting to sell the property as the source of repayment for the loan. However, there can be no assurance that any such sale will be consummated.

We evaluate loans under an internal loan risk rating system as a means of identifying problem loans. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, classified loans were segregated by year of origination and are shown in "Note 6. Loans" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein*.* At September 30, 2025, there were $268.7 million of loans classified as special mention and substandard in total, which included $185.3 million REBL loans. Through November 2025, $84.1 million of the $185.3 million in REBL loans as of September 30, 2025 were refinanced with borrowers with greater financial capacity (including the $26.9 million loan discussed above).

---

The ratio of the ACL to total loans increased to 0.96% as of September 30, 2025 from 0.52% at September 30, 2024 as the ACL increased proportionately more than total loans. The $33.1 million increase in the ACL between those dates is primarily driven by a $29.3 million reserve on consumer fintech loans at September 30, 2025, compared to no reserve at September 30, 2024 and $12.9 million at December 30, 2024. As with the $112.5 million of net charge-offs described under "Net Charge-offs" below, the $29.3 million correlated with a like amount of consumer fintech loan credit enhancement asset, reflecting our expected recovery under that guarantee. Accordingly, there was no impact on net income. See further discussion under "Consumer Fintech Programs*"* below.

The ratio of the ACL to non-performing loans decreased to 71.33% at September 30, 2025, from 101.70% at September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the increase in non-performing loans which proportionately exceeded the increase in the ACL. As a result, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased to 1.35% at September 30, 2025 from 0.52% at September 30, 2024. The increase in non-performing loans also was reflected in the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets which increased to 1.77% at September 30, 2025 from 1.28% at September 30, 2024. See further discussion of the increases in our non-performing loans under "Portfolio Performance."

The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 1.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 0.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net charge-offs reflected consumer fintech net charge-offs, which were correlated to a like amount of consumer fintech loan credit enhancement income, with no impact on net income.

*Allowance for Credit Losses* 

We review the adequacy of our ACL on at least a quarterly basis to determine a provision for credit losses to maintain our ACL at a level we believe is appropriate to recognize current expected credit losses. Our Chief Credit Officer oversees the loan review department, which measures the adequacy of the ACL independently of loan production officers. For detailed information on the ACL methodology, see "Note 6. Loans" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

At September 30, 2025, the ACL increased $19.3 million, primarily reflecting a $16.4 million increase in reserves on consumer fintech loans, which are $29.3 million and $12.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in the allowance related to consumer fintech loans correlates to the recorded credit enhancement asset on the balance sheet.

*Consumer Fintech Programs*

Our fintech programs include consumer transaction accounts and consumer fintech loans.

Consumer transaction accounts consist primarily of Bank-issued stored value prepaid or debit cards. For this program, we recognize a deposit liability for the current balance of the cards and recognize fee-based revenue in Non-interest income—Prepaid, debit card and related fees; we do not have any receivables or allowance risk related to the payment programs.

Consumer fintech loans consist of short-term loans originated by our Bank, with the marketing and servicing assistance of third-party relationships. Loans receivable originated under these consumer fintech agreements are governed by an agreement with the borrower and may include: secured credit cards and unsecured short-term extensions of credit. For the secured credit card program, we recognize a loan receivable and a deposit liability for the cash collateral that secures those accounts. Unsecured fintech loans include payroll advance and other short term-extensions of credit; those accounts are typically repaid within a year of origination.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, all fintech loans, both secured and unsecured, are covered by credit enhancement agreements. The third-party agreements governing the fintech loans include provisions for credit enhancements, through which the third party guarantees losses on such consumer fintech loans (either in whole or in part). When a fintech loan meets a defined delinquency level, we recognize a charge-off of the receivable, and the incurred losses are covered by the third party. Any subsequent recoveries from the charged-off loan are credited to the third party.

The third-party relationship agreements governing fintech loans include requirements for pledging cash reserve accounts at the Bank as collateral for loss exposure, through which we can collect when losses occur. The reserve accounts are then replenished by the counterparties based on contractually required thresholds. In addition to the reserve accounts, the agreements also provide for the right to offset any cashflows we owe to the third parties (such as for monthly revenues) against any net realized loan losses. While we continually monitor the risk of these counterparties, establish the reserve thresholds at levels we consider appropriate to cover loss exposure on these short-term loan receivables, and we have additional protection from our rights to net realized loan losses against cashflows owed to the third party, if the third-party defaults under their agreement and/or is unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to replenish the reserve account and cover losses, we may be exposed to loan losses in excess of our net reserve position.

The loan receivable agreement with the borrower and the third-party credit enhancement agreements are required to be accounted for separately as freestanding contracts in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As such, we recognize the separate units of account as follows:

Consumer fintech loans receivable from the borrower are recognized on the Balance sheet, along with an estimate of credit loss for fintech loans through the allowance. Provision for credit losses on consumer fintech loans is recognized on the Statement of operations.

A credit enhancement asset is recognized on the Balance sheet for the estimated recovery under the third-party credit enhancement agreement, and the Company recognizes Non-interest income—Consumer fintech loan credit enhancement on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Deposit liability on our Balance sheet includes amounts for reserve account collateral held to fund losses under the credit enhancement agreements.

------

The measurement of the estimated credit losses and the expected recovery from the credit enhancement are based on the same estimate and correlate to like amounts in our financial statements. We recognized credit enhancement assets of $29.3 million and $12.9 million on the Balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

*Loan review and Allowance estimate*

A description of loan review coverage targets is set forth below.

On a quarterly basis a sampling of the largest SBLOC and IBLOC loans are reviewed. A minimum of 20 loans will be reviewed each quarter. The coverage percentage is on a cumulative basis, as loans are generally reviewed one time unless classified as either special mention or substandard.

*SBLOC* – The targeted review threshold was 40% comprised of a sample of large balance SBLOCs by commitment. At September 30, 2025, approximately 53% of the SBLOC portfolio had been reviewed.

*IBLOC* – The targeted review threshold was 40% comprised of a sample of large balance IBLOCs by commitment. At September 30, 2025, approximately 67% of the IBLOC portfolio had been reviewed.

The following loan review percentages are performed annually for the portfolios listed below. At September 30, 2025, in excess of 50% of the total loan portfolio was reviewed by the loan review department or, for SBLs, rated internally by that department. In addition to the review of all loans classified as either special mention or substandard, the targeted coverages and scope of the reviews are risk-based and vary according to each portfolio as follows:

*Advisor Financing* – The targeted review threshold was 65%. At September 30, 2025, approximately 72% of the investment advisor financing portfolio had been reviewed. The loan balance review threshold was $1.0 million.

*SBLs* – The targeted review threshold was 65%. The loan balance review threshold was $1.5 million. At September 30, 2025, 67% of the non-government guaranteed SBL loan portfolio had been reviewed.

*Direct Lease Financing* – The targeted review threshold was 55%. The loan balance review threshold was $1.5 million. At September 30, 2025, approximately 64% of the leasing portfolio had been reviewed.

*Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans, at fair value and Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans, at amortized cost (floating and fixed rate, excluding SBA, which are included in SBLs above)* – The targeted review threshold was 75%. At September 30, 2025, approximately 97% of the floating and fixed rate, non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans had been reviewed.

Other minor loan categories are reviewed at the discretion of the loan review department.

Although we consider our ACL to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the ACL may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, our ongoing loss experience and that of our peers, changes in management's assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses, deterioration of specific credits and management's intent with regard to the disposition of loans and leases.

Management estimates the ACL quarterly and for most loan categories uses relevant available internal and external historical loan performance information to determine the quantitative component of the reserve, and current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts and other factors to determine the qualitative component of the reserve. Reserves on specific credit-deteriorated loans comprise the third and final component of the reserve. Historical credit loss experience provides the quantitative basis for the estimation of expected credit losses over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The qualitative component of the ACL is designed to be responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and the impact of current and future economic conditions on loan performance and is subjective. The review of the appropriateness of the ACL is performed by the Chief Credit Officer and presented to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors for review. The Company uses the vintage analysis to determine the allowance for the SBL, leasing and REBL portfolios, the probability of default/loss given default for the SBLOC, IBLOC and Consumer Fintech loan portfolios and discounted cash flow for the other loan portfolio. For the vintage analysis the loans are segregated by product type, to recognize differing risk characteristics within portfolio segments, and an average historical loss rate is calculated for each product type. Loss rates are computed by classifying net charge-offs by year of loan origination and dividing into total originations for that specific year. The average loss rate is then projected over the estimated remaining loan lives unique to each loan pool, to determine estimated lifetime losses. For the probability of default/loss given default the Company calculates the likelihood a borrower will default and then the expected loss after the default occurs. The discounted cash flow method estimates expected credit losses by projecting the cash flows of a financial asset over its lifetime, discounting those flows back to their present value, and comparing the result to the asset's amortized cost basis. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. If foreclosure is believed to be probable or

------

repayment is expected from the sale of collateral, a reserve for deficiency is established within the ACL. Those reserves are estimated based on the difference between loan principal and the estimated fair value of the collateral, adjusted for estimated disposition costs.

The Company also considers the need for an additional ACL based upon qualitative factors such as current loan performance statistics by pool, and economic conditions. These qualitative factors are intended to account for forward looking expectations over a twelve-to-eighteen-month period not reflected in historical loss rates and otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. Accordingly, such factors may increase or decrease the allowance compared to historical loss rates as the Company's forward-looking expectations change. The qualitative factor percentages are applied against the pool balances as of the end of the period. Aside from the qualitative adjustments to account for forward looking expectations of loss over a twelve-to-eighteen-month projection period, the balance of the ACL reverts to the Company's quantitative analysis derived from its historical loss rates. The qualitative and quantitative historical loss rate components, together with the allowances on specific credit-deteriorated loans, comprise the total ACL.

The Company ranks its qualitative factors in five levels: minimal, low, moderate, moderate-high, and high-risk. The individual qualitative factors for each portfolio segment have their own scale based on an analysis of that segment. A high-risk ranking results in the largest increase in the ACL calculation with each level below having a lesser impact on a sliding scale. The qualitative factors used for each portfolio are described below in the description of each portfolio segment.

A similar process is employed to calculate an ACL assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, which are comprised of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. That ACL for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities. Even though portions of the ACL may be allocated to loans that have been individually measured for credit deterioration, the entire ACL is available for any credit that, in management's judgment, should be charged off.

At September 30, 2025, the ACL amounted to $64.2 million of which $13.9 million of allowances resulted from the Company's historical charge-off ratios, $29.3 million from consumer fintech loans, and $5.1 million from reserves on specific loans, with the balance comprised of the qualitative components. The $13.9 million resulted primarily from SBA non-real estate lending and leasing charge-offs. For non-fintech loans, the proportion of qualitative reserves compared to charge-off history related reserves reflects the general absence of charge-offs in the Company's largest loan portfolios consisting of SBLOC and IBLOC and real estate bridge lending which results, at least in part, from the nature of related collateral. Such collateral respectively consists of marketable securities, the cash value of life insurance and workforce apartment buildings. As charge-offs are nonetheless possible, significant subjectivity is required to consider qualitative factors to derive the related components of the allowance. For consumer fintech loans, net charge offs correlate to like amounts of credit enhancement income with no impact on net income.

The Company had not, prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, increased the economic factor for multifamily real estate bridge lending. While Federal Reserve rate increases directly increase real estate bridge loan floating-rate borrowing costs, those borrowers are required to purchase interest rate caps that will partially limit the increase in borrowing costs during the term of the loan. Additionally, there continues to be several additional mitigating factors within the multifamily sector that should continue to fuel demand. Higher interest rates are increasing the cost to purchase a home, which in turn is increasing the number of renters and subsequent demand for multifamily. The softening demand for new homes should continue to exacerbate the current housing shortage, and therefore continue to fuel demand for multifamily apartment homes. Additionally, higher rents in the multifamily sector are causing renters to be more price sensitive, which is driving demand for most of the apartment buildings within the Company's loan portfolio which management considers "workforce" housing. At September 30, 2025, real estate bridge loans classified as special mention and substandard respectively amounted to $55.1 million and $130.2 million compared to $84.4 million and $134.4 million at December 31, 2024. Each classified loan was evaluated for a potential increase in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on the basis of the aforementioned third-party appraisals of apartment building collateral. On the basis of "as is" and "as stabilized" LTVs, increases to the allowance were not required. The current allowance for credit losses for REBL, is primarily based upon historical industry losses for multi-family loans, in the absence of significant charge-offs within the Company's REBL portfolio. As a result of increasing amounts of loans classified as special mention and substandard, the Company evaluated potential related sensitivity for REBL in the third quarter of 2024. Such evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to change as more information becomes available. As a result, the Company added a new qualitative factor to its ACL analysis.

The economic qualitative factor is based on the estimated impact of economic conditions on the loan pools, as distinguished from the economic factors themselves, for the following reasons. The Company has experienced limited multifamily (apartment building) loan charge-offs, despite stressed economic conditions. Accordingly, the ACL for this pool was derived from a qualitative factor based on industry loss information for multifamily housing. The Company's charge-offs have been miniscule for SBLOC and IBLOC notwithstanding stressed economic periods, and their ACL is accordingly also determined by a qualitative factor. Investment advisor loans were first offered in 2020 with limited performance history, during which charge-offs have not been experienced. For investment advisor loans, the nature of the underlying ultimate repayment source was considered, namely the fee-based advisory income streams resulting from investment portfolios under management, and the impact changes in economic conditions would have on those payment streams. The qualitative factors used for this and the other portfolios are described below in the description of each portfolio segment. Additionally, the Company's charge-off histories for SBLs, primarily SBA, and leases have not correlated with economic conditions, including trends in unemployment. While specific economic factors did not correlate with actual historical losses, multiple economic

------

factors are considered in the economic qualitative factor. For the non-guaranteed portion of SBA loans, leases, real estate bridge lending and investment advisor financing, the Company's loss forecasting analysis included a review of industry statistics. However, the Company's own charge-off history and average life estimates, for categories in which the Company has experienced charge-offs, was the primary quantitatively derived element in the forecasts. The qualitative component results from management's qualitative assessments which consider internal and external inputs.

Net charge-offs were $117.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $114.0 million from net charge-offs of $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the nine months ended 2025, the Company, based on contractual agreements, recorded $112.5 million of net charge-offs related to consumer fintech loans, and correlated amounts in the provision for credit losses and in non-interest income with no impact to net income.

We review charge-offs at least quarterly in loan surveillance meetings which include the chief credit officer, the loan review department and other senior credit officers in a process which includes identifying any trends or other factors impacting portfolio management. In recent periods charge-offs have been primarily comprised of the non-guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans and leases. The charge-offs have resulted from individual borrower or business circumstances as opposed to overall trends or other factors.

*Premises and Equipment, Net* 

Premises and equipment amounted to $25.9 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $27.6 million at December 31, 2024.

*Other assets* 

Other assets amounted to $182.0 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $182.7 million at December 31, 2024.

*Deposits*

Our primary source of funding is deposit acquisition. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms, including demand, checking and money market accounts, through and with the assistance of affinity groups. The majority of our deposits are generated through prepaid card and debit and other payments related deposit accounts. At September 30, 2025, we had total deposits of $7.33 billion compared to $7.75 billion at December 31, 2024, which reflected a decrease of $415.2 million, or 5.4%. Daily deposit balances are subject to variability, and deposits averaged $7.63 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Savings and money market balances are a modest percentage of our funding and we have swept such deposits off our balance sheet to other institutions. Such sweeps are utilized to optimize diversity within our funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits. A diversified group of prepaid and debit card accounts, which have an established history of stability and lower cost than certain other types of funding, comprise the majority of our deposits.

Our product mix includes prepaid card accounts for salary, medical spending, commercial, general purpose reloadable, corporate and other incentive, gift, government payments and transaction accounts accessed by debit cards. Balances are subject to daily fluctuations, which may comprise a significant component of variances between dates. Our funding is comprised primarily of millions of small transaction-based consumer balances, the vast majority of which are FDIC-insured. We have multi-year, contractual relationships with affinity groups which sponsor such accounts and with whom we have had long-term relationships (see Item 1. "Business—Our

------

Strategies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2024). Those long-term relationships comprise the majority of our deposits while we continue to grow and add new client relationships. Of our deposits at September 30, 2025, the top three affinity groups accounted for approximately $3.91 billion, the next three largest $1.28 billion, and the four subsequent largest $709.9 million. Of our deposits at year-end 2024, the top three affinity groups accounted for approximately $3.79 billion, the next three largest accounted for $1.64 billion, and the four subsequent largest accounted for $756.9 million. While certain of these relationships may have changed their ranking in the top ten, the affinity groups themselves were generally identical at both dates, with some movement in the tenth and eleventh largest relationships.

We believe that payroll, debit, and government-based accounts such as child support are comparable to traditional consumer checking accounts. Such balances in the top ten relationships at September 30, 2025 totaled $3.24 billion while balances related to consumer and business payment companies, including companies sponsoring incentive payments, amounted to $2.66 billion. Such balances in the top ten relationships at year-end 2024 totaled $3.81 billion while balances related to consumer and business payment companies, including companies sponsoring incentive and gift card payments, amounted to $2.38 billion.

We pay interest directly to consumer account holders for an immaterial amount of deposit balances, while the vast majority of interest expense results from fees paid to affinity groups. While affinity groups may decide to pay interest or other remuneration to account holders, they do not currently do so for the vast majority of balances. The vast majority of payments to affinity groups are variable rate and equate to varying contractual percentages tied to the effective federal funds rate, which results from Federal Reserve rate hikes and reductions. The effective federal funds rate also reflects a market rate which might be required to replace lower cost deposits, or fund loan growth in excess of deposit growth, at least in the short-term. Because underlying balances have generally exhibited stability, so too have trends in the cost of funds. The more consequential impact to cost of funds are market changes and the effective federal funds rate, specifically the impact of Federal Reserve rate hikes and reductions. We model significant fee-based relationships in our net interest income sensitivity modeling (see "Item 2 – Asset and Liability Management" above). The following discussion is applicable to our transaction accounts, comprising the majority of our deposits, in the 100 and 200 basis point rate increase and decrease scenarios as presented in the applicable table in that Asset and Liability Management section, above. The impact of the Federal Reserve rate hikes or reductions, which respectively increase or decrease interest expense, has approximated the ratio of our cost of funds divided by the effective federal funds rate, all else equal. However, there can be no assurance that such ratios could not change significantly given the other variables discussed in the Asset and Liability Management section.

In third quarter of 2025, our demand and interest checking balances averaged $7.56 billion, compared to $6.94 billion in third quarter of 2024. The growth primarily reflected increases in payment company balances. Average savings and money market balances decreased to $64.5 million the third quarter of 2025, compared to $65.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. We sweep deposits off our balance sheet to other institutions to optimize diversity within our funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits.

In 2024 and the first nine months of 2025, we did not use short-term time deposits. Short-term time deposits are generated through established intermediaries such as banks and other financial companies. These deposits generally originate with investment or trust companies or banks, which offer those deposits at market rates to FDIC-insured institutions, such that the balances are fully FDIC-insured. These deposits are generally classified as brokered.

The following table presents the average balance and rates paid on deposits for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | For the nine months ended | For the nine months ended | For the nine months ended | For the nine months ended |
|  | September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | September 30, 2024 |
|  | Average | Average | Average | Average |
|  | balance | rate | balance | rate |
| Demand and interest checking<sup>(1)</sup> | $7906597  | 2.14% | $6684671  | 2.40% |
| Savings and money market  | 88687  | 3.69% | 58777  | 3.30% |
| Total deposits | $7995284  | 2.15% | $6743448  | 2.41% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Of the amounts shown for 2025 and 2024, $134.8 million and $149.1 million, respectively, represented balances on which the Bank paid interest. The remaining balance for each period reflects amounts subject to fees paid to third parties, which are based upon contractual percentages applied to a rate index, generally the effective federal funds rate, and therefore classified as interest expense.

*Short-term Borrowings* 

Short-term borrowings consist of amounts borrowed on our lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank or FHLB. There were $200.0 million of borrowings with FHLB at September 30, 2025. There were no borrowings on either line at December 31, 2024. We generally utilize overnight borrowings to manage our daily reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve. Period-end and year-to-date information for the dates shown is as follows.

*Senior Debt* 

On August 18, 2025, we issued $200.0 million of the 2030 Senior Notes, with a maturity date of September 1, 2030, and a 7.375% interest rate, with interest paid semi-annually on March 1 and September 1, commencing on March 1, 2026. The 2030 Senior Notes are the Company's direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in priority with all our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In lieu of repayment of debt from dividends paid by the Bank to the Company, industry practice includes the issuance of new debt to repay maturing debt.

In addition, in August 2025, we repaid all issued and outstanding Senior notes due 2025.

*Other long-term borrowings* 

At September 30, 2025, we had other long-term borrowings of $13.8 million compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2024. The borrowings consisted of sold loans which were accounted for as a secured borrowing because they did not qualify for true sale accounting. We do not have any policy prohibiting us from incurring debt.

The 2038 Debentures, which total $13.4 million, mature in March 2038 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.51%, are grandfathered to qualify as Tier 1 capital at the Bank.

*Other Liabilities* 

Other liabilities amounted to $67.2 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $68.0 million at December 31, 2024.

*Shareholders' Equity* 

As a means of returning capital to shareholders, we implemented the stock repurchase programs described below. Under the repurchase programs, we intend to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The repurchase programs may be modified or terminated at any time.

On October 23, 2024, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2025 fiscal year (the "2025 Repurchase Program"), which authorizes the Company to repurchase $37.5 million in value of the Company's common stock per fiscal quarter in 2025, for a maximum amount of $150.0 million. On July 7, 2025, the Board of the Company authorized the increase of the capacity of the Company's existing share repurchase program for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 to $300.0 million and $200.0 million for 2026 (the "Repurchase Plan"). This increase cumulatively represents up to $500.0 million in share repurchases through year-end 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 2,034,053 and 3,472,396 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2025 Repurchase Program at an average price of $73.74 per share and $64.80 per share, respectively.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

------

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk for us primarily consist of our unused commitments to extend credit which were approximately $1.95 billion and $1.97 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The vast majority of commitments reflect SBLOC commitments, which are variable rate, and connected to lines of credit collateralized by marketable securities. The amount of those lines is generally based upon the value of the collateral, and not expected usage. The majority of those available lines have not been drawn upon, and SBLOC loans are "demand" loans and can be called at any time.

In addition, we have standby letters of credit of $85,000 and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Information about market risk for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 is included under "Asset and Liability Management" in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except for such information, there has been no material change to our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk as discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K, as amended.

As noted under "Asset and Liability Management" in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed through the use of guidelines which limit interest rate exposure to higher interest rates. Because the Company has emphasized variable rate instruments in its loan and investment portfolios, it tends to benefit from higher interest rate environments. As a result of the Federal Reserve rate increases in 2022 and 2023, net interest income has increased and exceeded prior period levels. While future Federal Reserve rate reductions may result in lower net interest income, such exposure to lower rates was significantly reduced in the third quarter of 2024 with the purchase of fixed rate securities. In addition to the aforementioned guidelines which the Company uses to manage interest rate risk, the Company utilizes an asset liability committee to provide oversight by multiple departments and senior officers.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting that were previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our 2024 Form 10-K, as amended. The material weaknesses identified exist in the design of two controls related to (i) the completion of all closing procedures prior to the filing of a required periodic report with the SEC, and (ii) the evaluation of the accounting and financial reporting associated with the credit enhancement contained within a third-party agreement and the impact on the allowance for credit losses for consumer fintech loans.

*Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses* 

In response to the identified material weaknesses with respect to the two controls noted above, management instituted a remediation plan to enhance its internal control over financial reporting to: (i) require receipts of approval and documentation of the same prior to the filing of any required periodic report with the SEC; and (ii) refine the evaluation of the accounting and financial reporting associated with the credit enhancement contained within a third-party agreement and the impact on the allowance for credit losses for consumer fintech loans. The actions that we have taken are subject to continued testing and ongoing management review. Management will not be able to conclude whether the steps we have taken will fully remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our testing and evaluation of the enhanced controls for effectiveness. Management may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional actions to be taken.

------

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

Other than the material weaknesses and remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

<sup>(1)</sup> During the third quarter of 2025, all shares of common stock were repurchased pursuant to the 2025 Repurchase Program, which was approved by the Board on October 23, 2024 and publicly announced on October 23, 2024. Under the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock totaling up to $37.5 million per quarter, for a maximum amount of $150.0 million in 2025. As announced on July 7, 2025, the Board authorized the increase of the capacity of the existing share repurchase program for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 to $300.0 million. The Company may repurchase shares through open market purchases, including through written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.

<sup>(2)</sup> The 2025 Repurchase Program may be suspended, amended or discontinued at any time and has an expiration date of December 31, 2025. With respect to further repurchases, the Company cannot predict if, or when, it will repurchase any shares of common stock, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

**It** **em 5. Other Information**

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of the Company's directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
