**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)**

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

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company owns 100% of Coastal States Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Coastal States Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company focused on originating and selling residential mortgages to investors and to retain in the portfolio. The "Company" or "our," as used herein, includes Coastal States Bank and Coastal States Mortgage, Inc.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") followed within the financial services industry for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or notes required for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on previously reported net income, shareholders' equity or cash flows.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form S-1.

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on Form S-1. There were no new accounting policies or changes to existing policies adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 which had a significant effect on the Company's results of operations or statement of financial condition. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same basic accounting policies and considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.

*<u>Operating Segments</u>*

The Company principally operates in one business segment, which is community banking.

Accounting standards require that information be reported about a company's operating segments using a "management approach." Reportable segments are identified in these standards as those revenue producing components for which separate financial information is produced internally and which are subject to evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.

The Company's CODM is the chief executive officer. The segment measure of profit or loss is consolidated net income according to the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the measure of segment assets is total assets of the consolidated company according to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the Consolidated Financial Statements within Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on Form S-1. The CODM monitors budgeted to actual results of net income to assess the company's performance, to make decisions on strategic initiatives, and to establish management's compensation. The segment's revenues are primarily derived from retail and commercial banking products, and investment income.

*<u>Contingencies</u>*

Due to the nature of their activities, the Company and its subsidiary are at times engaged in various legal proceedings that arise in the course of normal business, some of which were outstanding as of June 30, 2025. Although the ultimate outcome of all claims and lawsuits outstanding as of June 30, 2025 cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that these matters, when resolved, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

*<u>Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted</u>*

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. This ASU enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures for investors, lenders, creditors, and other allocators of capital (collectively, "investors"). These new enhancements are meant to better (1) understand an entity's exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to

increase future cash flows. For public business entities, these amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has further evaluated other Accounting Standards Updates issued during 2025 but does not expect Updates other than those summarized above to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following is a summary of maturities of available-for-sale ("AFS") securities as of June 30, 2025. The amortized cost and estimated fair values are based on the contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without penalty. Mortgaged-backed securities are not presented by maturity date because pay-downs are expected before contractual maturity dates.

AFS securities are recorded at fair market value. Of the 144 securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2025, 18 securities were in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months, and 126 securities were in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports, credit ratings and/or government guarantees, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered credit related required to be charged to the allowance.

Based on the results of management's review at June 30, 2025, none of the unrealized loss was attributable to credit impairment and all $22.3 million in unrealized loss was determined to be from factors other than credit. There can be no assurance that the Company will not conclude in future periods that conditions existing at that time indicate some or all of these securities may be sold or are credit related impaired, which would require a charge to earnings in such periods.

**NOTE 3 — LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES**

*<u>Composition of Loan Portfolio</u>*

The Company engages in a full complement of lending activities, including commercial real estate loans ("CRE"), construction loans, commercial and industrial loans ("C&I"), and consumer purpose loans. While risk of loss in the Company's portfolio is primarily tied to the credit quality of the various borrowers, risk of loss may increase due to factors beyond the Company's control, such as local, regional and/or national economic downturns. General conditions in the real estate market may also impact the relative risk in the real estate portfolio. The following is a brief description of the major loans receivable categories:

*<u>Commercial Loans</u>*

*Acquisition, Development, and Construction ("ADC")* – ADC loans include both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing, carrying, and developing land into residential subdivisions or various types of commercial developments, such as industrial, hospitality, warehouse, retail, office, and multi-family. This category also includes loans and credit lines for construction of residential developments, multi-family buildings, and commercial buildings. The Company generally engages in ADC lending primarily in local markets served by its branches, and through our homebuilder finance and government guaranteed lending lines of business. The Company recognizes that risks are inherent in the financing of commercial real estate development and construction. These risks include location, market conditions and price volatility, change in interest rates, demand for developed land, lots and buildings, desirability of features and styling of completed developments and buildings, competition from other developments and builders, traffic patterns, remote work patterns, governmental jurisdiction, tax structure, availability of utilities, roads, public transportation and schools,

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

availability of permanent financing for homebuyers, zoning, environmental restrictions, lawsuits, economic and business cycle, labor, and reputation of the builder or developer.

Each ADC loan is underwritten to address: (i) the desirability of the project, its market viability and projected absorption period; (ii) the creditworthiness of the borrower and the guarantor as to liquidity, cash flow and assets available to ensure performance of the loan; (iii) equity contribution to the project; (iv) the developer's experience and success with similar projects; and (v) the value of the collateral. ADC loans are inspected periodically to ensure that the project is on schedule and eligible for requested draws. Inspections may be performed by construction inspectors hired by the Company or by appropriate loan officers and are conducted periodically to monitor the progress of a particular project. These inspections may also include discussions with project managers and engineers. Rising interest rates and the potential for slowing economic conditions could negatively impact borrowers' and guarantors' ability to repay their debt which could make more of the Company's loans collateral-dependent.

*Income Producing CRE* – Income Producing CRE loans include loans to finance income-producing commercial and multi-family properties. Lending in this category is generally limited to properties located in the Company's market area with only limited exposure to properties located elsewhere but owned by in-market borrowers. Loans in this category include loans for neighborhood retail centers, medical and professional offices, single retail stores, warehouses and apartments leased generally to local businesses and residents. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the occupancy, rental rates, and local market demand as well as the financial health of the borrower. The primary risk associated with loans secured with income-producing property is the inability of that property to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment, significant increases to interest rates, generally weak economic conditions and/or an oversupply in the market may result in our customers having difficulty achieving adequate occupancy and/or rental rates. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties.

*Owner-Occupied CRE* – Owner-occupied loans include loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment and owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal guarantees, if applicable, are generally required for these loans. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, pandemics, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.

*Senior Housing* – Senior housing loans support senior adults facilities, generally restricted for adults over the age of 55 years old. These types of loans include senior apartments, independent living communities, assisted living and memory care communities, nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities, and continuing care retirement communities. The Company recognizes that risk from high resident turnover, pandemics, government regulation, operator risk, increases in acuity, availability and cost of qualified staffing resources, technology risk, and other risks such as liability, insurance, reimbursement and regulatory changes may impact repayment of these loans. Underwriting focuses primarily on operator quality and business operations rather than income producing CRE property quality metrics.

*Commercial and Industrial* – C&I loans are loans and lines of credit to finance business operations, equipment and other non-real estate collateral primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal and/or corporate guarantees are generally obtained where available and prudent. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, commodity prices, pandemics, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.

*<u>Retail loans</u>*

*Marine Vessels* – Marine vessel loans are a type of consumer loan used to finance the purchase of a boat or another marine craft. Functioning similarly to auto loans and personal loans, these installment loans come with a repayment term, fixed monthly payments and variable-or-fixed interest rates. These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's general loan policies and procedures and are generally secured with title or preferred ships' mortgage on the marine vessel. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, pandemics, government regulation, natural disasters, losses due to theft, or changes to customer's ability to meet the scheduled repayment of marine vessel. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $302 thousand and $405 thousand of repossessed marine assets, respectively. There were $104 thousand and $67 thousand of repossessed assets write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Residential Mortgages* – Residential mortgages are first or second-lien loans secured by a primary residence or second home. This category includes permanent mortgage financing, construction loans to individual consumers, and home equity lines of credit. The loans are generally secured by properties located within the local market area of the Bank's retail footprint which originates and services the loan. These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's general loan policies and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower's financial condition, satisfactory credit history, and property value. In addition to loans originated through the Company's branches, the Company originates and services residential mortgages sold in the secondary market which are underwritten and closed pursuant to investor and agency guidelines. At June 30, 2025, there were no residential mortgage loans in process of foreclosure, and at December 31, 2024, there were $164 thousand of residential mortgage loans in process of

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

foreclosure. Additionally, the Company held no foreclosed residential properties at June 30, 2025 and had $864 thousand foreclosed residential properties at December 31, 2024.

*Cash Value Life Insurance Line of Credit ("CVLI")* – Cash value life insurance encompasses multiple types of life insurance that contain a cash value account. This cash value component typically earns interest or other investment gains and grows tax-deferred. CVLI loans are generally lines of credit ("LOC") secured by cash value life insurance of the debtor and can be originated for personal or business purposes. Upon the delinquency of the loan or lapse of an insurance policy premium payment, the Company pursues liquidation of the policy cash value in order to satisfy the loan.

*Other Consumer* – Other consumer loans primarily includes unsecured student loans and other secured and unsecured consumer purpose loans. Certain loans are secured by recreational vehicles and other such tangible property. These types of loans may be impacted by negative macroeconomic conditions impacting individual consumers, such as increased unemployment, which can reduce a borrower's ability to repay the loan.

Loans held for sale ("LHFS") are comprised of loans acquired through mortgage warehouse lending activities and origination of mortgage loans. The Company serves as a warehouse lender by purchasing loans originated by third-party mortgage originators and selling these loans to other third-party investors. The Company also originates mortgage loans with customers through Coastal States Mortgage, Inc. ("CSM") and sells the majority of these loans to third-party investors.

Following is a summary of the composition of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company monitors the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio using internal credit risk ratings. These credit risk ratings are based upon established regulatory guidance and are assigned upon initial approval of credit to borrowers. Credit risk ratings are updated periodically after the initial assignment or whenever management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. The Company utilizes the following categories of credit grades to evaluate its commercial loan portfolio:

***Pass*** — Loans classified as pass are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories below.

***Special Mention*** — Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company's credit position at some future date.

***Substandard*** — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

***Doubtful*** — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the credit quality of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. The Company had no loans rated

Doubtful at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio based primarily on payment activity and credit scores. Payment activity is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonperforming. Retail loans are considered to be nonperforming if they are on nonaccrual status or if they are 90 days past due or greater.

*<u>Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans</u>*

A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in management's judgment, the collection of the interest income appears doubtful. Interest receivable that has been accrued and is subsequently determined to have doubtful collectability is charged to interest income. Interest on loans that are classified as nonaccrual is subsequently applied to principal until the loans are returned to accrual status. The Company's loan policy states that a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when (i) none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the Company expects repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest, or (ii) it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. Restoration to accrual status on any given loan must be supported by a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and the prospects for full repayment, approved by the Company's Chief Credit Officer. Past due loans are loans whose principal or interest is past due 30 days or more. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was $56 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively, of interest income reversed from income related to loans that were transferred to nonaccrual status.

*<u>Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty</u>*

The Company periodically provides modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications include either payment deferrals, term extensions, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness or combinations of modification types. The determination of whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of the modification. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of principal forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding reduction in the amortized cost basis of the loan.

*<u>Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans</u>*

The allowance for credit losses represents an allowance for expected losses over the remaining contractual life of the assets adjusted for prepayments. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications. The Company segregates the loan portfolio by type of loan and utilizes this segregation in evaluating exposure to risks within the portfolio.

**NOTE 4 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the Company's financial statements. These commitments and contingent liabilities include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments and contingent liabilities.

*<u>Credit Related Commitments</u>*

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments where contract amounts represent credit risk as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <u>(In thousands of dollars)</u> | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Commitments to extend credit | $480944 | $460840 |
| Letters of credit | 181 | 1223 |
| Total | $481125 | $462063 |

---

Commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit, are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities. Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment and income-producing commercial properties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

The Company maintains cash deposits with a financial institution that during the year are in excess of the insured limitation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the financial institution were not to honor its contractual liability, the Company could incur losses. Management is of the opinion that there is no material risk because of the financial strength of the institution.

*<u>Tax Credit Investments</u>*

The Company has invested capital in a limited partnership to obtain renewable energy tax credits generated by solar power projects. The following table summarizes the tax credit investment and equity investment as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

**NOTE 5 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

In 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved the CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. ("COSO") 2017 Incentive Plan ("2017 Plan") to attract, incentivize and retain the services of senior officers, and directors of the Bank. As of June 30, 2025, there were 884,750 stock options and 372,500 unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding under the 2017 Plan. In April 2025, the shareholders of the Company approved the COSO Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2025 Plan" and, together with the 2017 Plan, the "Plans") reserving 260,000 shares for future issuance, any or all of which may be granted as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, other stock-based awards, or any other right or interest relating to stock or cash. Following the adoption of the 2025 Plan, no new awards will be issued under the 2017 Plan.

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

In the event all or a portion of a stock award issued under the 2025 Plan is canceled, terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason, any unissued or forfeited shares subject to such award shares become available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan thus increasing the number of shares available for future issuance. However, shares of common stock deducted or withheld upon the exercise or vesting of an award to satisfy tax withholding obligations count against the number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan.

The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The determination of award recipients under the Plans, and the terms of those awards, are made by the Committee. The terms of each stock-based award are indicated in an award certificate. As of June 30, 2025, 260,000 shares authorized and available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.

Stock-based awards are recognized over the vesting period and reflected as salaries and employee benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which were $233 thousand and $351 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $479 thousand and $647 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*<u>Stock Options</u>*

The Company's stock options generally vest over four years of continuous service, with a majority vesting 25% on the anniversary of the grant date and a minority vesting 100% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The terms of all of the options are for ten years, expiring on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

The grant date fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Volatility is based on a peer group of similar community banks in the southeast United States. The risk-free rate is the treasury rate that most closely relates to the expected life on the grant date.

A summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented below:

**NOTE 6 — NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE**

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding in-the-money stock warrants and options, as well as restricted stock units. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted per share computation when inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 1,500 and 83,000 common shares that were not included in the potentially dilutive stock options, respectively.

Net income per common share was calculated as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

**NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

US GAAP provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value which requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, collateral-dependent loans).

Fair value is defined as the exchange in price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. US GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

*<u>Fair Value Hierarchy</u>*

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are:

**Level 1** Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

**Level 2** Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

**Level 3** Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

*Securities AFS* — Securities AFS are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

*Equity Securities* ***—*** Equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices. There were no equity securities held at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

*Loans Held for Sale* ***—*** Loans held for sale are comprised of loans originated for sale in the ordinary course of business and purchased with intent to sell through Mortgage Banker Finance ("MBF"). The fair value of loans originated for sale in the secondary market is based on purchase commitments or quoted prices for the same or similar loans and are classified as recurring Level 2. There were no loans held for sale requiring fair value adjustments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

*Collateral-Dependent Loans* — The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered collateral-dependent, evaluated individually for impairment, and an allowance for credit loss is established. Collateral-dependent loans are loans where repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment. If a loan is determined to be collateral-dependent, or if foreclosure is probable, the Company measures the net realizable value of the collateral (fair value less costs to sell) to determine the level of impairment for the loan. The valuation of collateral is supported by an appraisal, brokers price opinion, or other comparable market data. Otherwise, the Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis on the loan to determine the level of ACL needed. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all of the individually evaluated collateral-dependent loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. Collateral-dependent loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

*Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")* — Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charges to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. OREO presented as measured on a non-recurring basis includes only those properties that had changes in valuation. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral.

*Derivative Financial Instruments* — The Company's derivative financial instruments, which are interest rate contracts, are valued using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates current market interest rates.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $500 thousand. Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $5 thousand and $6 thousand, respectively. There were no changes in the value in either of those periods.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the valuation hierarchy (as described above) for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

*<u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u>*

The following tables include the estimated fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value.

---

*Cash and cash equivalents* **—** The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold approximate their fair values.

*Loans held for sale* **—** Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential real estate loans originated for sale to qualified third parties. Fair value is based upon the contractual price to be received from these third parties, which may be different than cost.

*Loans held for investment, net* **—** Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics if collateral-dependent. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect observable market information incorporating the credit, liquidity, yield and other risks inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based upon the Company's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of the current economic and lending conditions. Fair value for significant non-performing loans is generally based upon recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discounted rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

*Non-marketable equity securities* **—** Non-marketable equity securities are carried at original cost basis, as cost approximates fair value and there is no ready market for such investments.

*Deposits* **—** The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity date, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market and checking accounts, is based on the discounted value of estimated cash flows. The fair value of time deposits is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

*Other borrowings* **—** The fair value of the Company's Federal Home Bank of Atlanta ("FHLBA"), line of credit and subordinated debt advances are estimated based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The fair value of investment securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these borrowings. The discount rate is estimated using rates quoted for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

**NOTE 8 — REVENUE RECOGNITION**

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company's sources of revenue are generated from both interest and noninterest revenue streams. The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606. Revenue streams generated by fees and interest from financial instruments, investments, and transfers and servicing of these assets are excluded from this disclosure.

The Company has certain revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606 contained within noninterest income. The Company's contracts with customers generally do not contain terms that require significant judgment to determine the amount of revenue to recognize.

The tables below presents the revenue streams within the scope of the standard and is followed by a description of each noninterest income revenue stream for the periods presented:

---

*Gain on sale of government guaranteed loans* **—** The Company records a gain from the sale of government guaranteed loans to third parties at the time the transfer is complete. The gain on sale is recognized as a result of the recognition of mortgage servicing rights and premiums paid by the buyer for the purchase of the loan.

*Bank-owned life insurance* **—** The Company's income from bank-owned life insurance primarily represents changes in the cash surrender value of such life insurance policies held on certain key employees, for which the Company is the owner and beneficiary. Revenue is recognized in each period based on the change in cash surrender value during the period.

*Income from mortgage originations* **—** The Company earns mortgage production income which is comprised primarily of activity related to the sale of consumer mortgage loans as well as loan origination fees such as closing charges, document review fees, application fees, other loan origination fees, and loan processing fees.

*Interchange income and card fees* **—** The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through a payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are earned daily.

*Service charges on deposit accounts* **—** The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees and stop payment charges, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

*Losses on sale of available-for-sale securities* **—** The Company recognizes realized gains or losses from the sale of its available-for-sale securities at the trade date and recognizes periodic mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities resulting from changes in fair value.

*Other noninterest income* **—** Other noninterest income consists primarily of loan fees, which are out of the scope of ASC Topic 606. The items within scope of the standard primarily relate to contracts with third parties for miscellaneous referral or broker income.

*Contract assets and liabilities* **—** A contract asset balance typically occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer payment of consideration, creating a contract receivable, or before payment is due, creating a contract asset. In contrast, a contract liability balance is an entity's obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment of consideration from the customer. The Company's noninterest revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 are largely based on transactional activity which typically occurs at a point in time immediately after the performance obligations have been satisfied. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers. Therefore, the Company does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

**NOTE 9** — **LEASES**

The Company has entered into several operating leases for properties for branch banking and other banking operations. The leases have various initial terms and expire on various dates. The lease agreements generally provide that the Company is responsible for ongoing repairs and maintenance, insurance, and real estate taxes. The leases also provide for renewal options and certain scheduled increases in monthly lease payments. The Company does not consider exercise of any of these lease renewal options to be reasonably certain.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For these short-term leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental expense recorded under short-term leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $13 thousand. There were no rental expenses recorded under short-term leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no leases classified as finance leases.

**NOTE 10 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps agreements as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help mitigate its interest rate risk. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or a liability (in other assets or other liabilities, respectively) and measured at fair value.

The Company presents derivative position gross on the balance sheet. The following tables reflects the derivatives recorded on the balance sheet as of the dates indicated:

*<u>Cash Flow Hedges</u>* 

A cash flow hedge interest rate swap that matures on February 14, 2026 had a notional amount of $50.0 million as of June 30, 2025. The risk management objective with respect to hedge the risk of variability in its cash flows (i.e., future interest payments) attributable

------

**CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - *Continued***

to changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rate. The objective of the hedge is to offset the variability of cash flows due to the rollover of its fixed-rate advances from February 14, 2023 to February 14, 2026. The company designates the $50.0 million interest rate swap (the hedging instrument) as a cash flow hedge of the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark Federal Funds interest rate risk for the forecasted issuances of advances arising from a rollover strategy. The forecasted funding will be provided through FHLBA, brokered CD, or other fixed rate advances or a combination thereof. In addition, the funding can be wholly or partially from a term funding based on a contractually specified SOFR interest rate. The hedge was determined to be effective during the periods presented. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the swap.

A forward-starting cash flow hedge interest rate collar that matures on November 30, 2028 had a notional amount of $75.0 million as of June 30, 2025 with an effective date of November 30, 2025. The risk management objective with respect to this cash flow hedge is to hedge forecasted interest receipts indexed to the next $75.0 million of USD-SOFR CME variable rate loans from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2028. The Company designates the $75.0 million interest rate collar (the hedging instrument) as a cashflow hedge, hedging the risk of changes in its cashflows when the contractually specified interest rate, currently USD-SOFR CME, settles between 3.25% to 1.00% and between 5.25% to 6.55%. The Company's interest receipts are being hedged for changes in the USD-SOFR CME rate. The hedging instrument includes a sold 1.00% floor to offset the asset's embedded 1.00% floor. The offsetting higher 6.55% strike cap was included to ensure alignment with ASC 815-20-25-89(d) wherein the notional amount of the written option is not greater than the notional amount of the purchased component This hedge was determined to be effective during the periods presented. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the option.

A forward-starting cash flow hedge interest rate collar that matures on November 30, 2028 had a notional amount of $75.0 million as of June 30, 2025 with an effective date of November 30, 2025. The risk management objective with respect to this cash flow hedge is to hedge forecasted interest receipts indexed to the next $75.0 million of Prime rate assets from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2028. The Company designates the $75.0 million interest rate collar (the hedging instrument) as a cash flow hedge, hedging the risk of changes in its cashflows if the contractually specified interest rate, currently Prime, settles between 6.50% to 4.25% and between 8.50% to 9.80%. The Company's interest receipts are being hedged for changes in the Prime rate. The SOFR hedging instrument includes a sold 1.00% SOFR floor to offset the Prime asset's embedded 4.25% Prime floor. These strikes are arrived at by analysis showing a historically static spread of 325 basis points between SOFR and Prime indices and by which the interest rate derivatives market also uses in its construction of interest rate curves. The offsetting higher 6.55% SOFR strike cap (equivalent to a 9.80% Prime cap) was included to ensure alignment with 815-20-25-89(d) wherein the notional amount of the written option is not greater than the notional amount of the purchased component. This hedge was determined to be effective during the periods presented. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the option.

A cash flow hedge interest rate collar that matures on November 2, 2025 had a notional amount of $150.0 million as of June 30, 2025. The risk management objective with respect to this cash flow hedge is to hedge floating rate interest receipts based on the contractually specified SOFR rate. Initially, these receipts are made up of the interest payments received on the first of a previously unhedged $150.0 million pool of customer loans indexed to SOFR for interest payments received from November 2, 2022 through November 2, 2025. The company designates this interest rate collar (the hedging instrument) as a cash flow hedge, hedging the risk of changes in its cash flows between 4.00% and 1.00% attributable to changes in the contractually specified interest rate, currently the SOFR rate, on its customer floating rate loan pool. To reduce upfront premium expense, the company is capping any benefit on its customer floating rate loan pool by selling a 6.00% cap. The combination of the purchased option and the sold option created a collar costing $1.7 million. This hedge was determined to be effective during the periods presented. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the option.

A cash flow hedge interest rate swap that matures on October 21, 2030 had a notional amount of $25.0 million as of June 30, 2025. The risk management objective with respect to the cash flow hedge is to hedge the risk of variability in the Company's cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in the 3-month LIBOR rate pertaining to fluctuations in market interest rates on $25.0 million of FHLBA, brokered Certificate of Deposits or other fixed rate advances for that period. The objective of the hedge is to offset the variability of cash flows due to the rollover of its fixed-rate 3-month FHLBA or another fixed rate advance every quarter from October 31, 2022 to October 21, 2030. After June 30, 2023, both LIBOR hedge and hedged item converted to Overnight SOFR as hedged item utilizes a benchmark rate component. The hedge was determined to be effective during the periods presented. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the swap.

Gains and losses on interest rate swaps related to funding liabilities are recorded in interest income/expense. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives' fair value will not be included in current earnings but are reported as a component of OCI in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. These changes in fair value will be included in earnings of future periods when earnings are also affected by the changes in the hedged cash flows. To the extent these derivatives are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included in other income or expense.

*<u>Derivatives not Designated as Hedges</u>*

*Risk Participation Agreements* — The Company has one risk participation agreement with a financial institution counterparty for an interest rate swap related to a loan in which it is a participant. A risk participation agreement provides credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on their interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution. A risk participation agreement is a credit derivative not designated as a hedge. Credit derivatives are not speculative and are not used to manage interest rate risk in assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value in credit derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. The fee received, less the estimate of the loss for the credit exposure, was recognized in earnings at the time of the transaction.

The net gain (loss) related to changes in fair value from derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments during the periods indicated is summarized on the table below:

**NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Nonrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

On July 3, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 2,035,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $21.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company received proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $34.0 million in the offering. The shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 2, 2025, under the ticker symbol "COSO".

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued, and there were no other subsequent events requiring accrual or disclosure through August 11, 2025.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

The purpose of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, also referred to hereafter as this MD&A, is to aid in understanding significant changes in the financial condition of CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Coastal States Bank, from December 31, 2024 through June 30, 2025 and on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Form S-1 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2025, relating to the IPO (the "Registration Statement"), and information presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Item 1.

**Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "may," "might," "should," "could," "predict," "potential," "believe," "expect," "continue," "will," "anticipate," "seek," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "strive," "projection," "goal," "target," "outlook," "aim," "would," "annualized" and "outlook," or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the adequacy of our reserves (including ACL), including the appropriateness of our methodology for calculating such reserves;

Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. However, the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. For example, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

These statements are inherently uncertain, and we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. For a discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" and other

information contained in our Registration Statement and our other periodic filings, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, that we file from time to time with the SEC.

**Overview**

CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. We currently operate 11 retail banking branches in three primary markets, including the Lowcountry of South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and metro Atlanta, Georgia. CSB also operates four specialty lines of business each of which operates on a national platform, including Senior Housing, Marine Lending, Government Guaranteed Lending, and Mortgage Banker Finance. The deposits of CSB are insured by the FDIC. CSM, a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB, is a mortgage company focused on originating and selling residential mortgages to investors, some of which are retained in the portfolio.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in their analysis and understanding of our consolidated financial statements and summary historical financial information appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. This discussion and analysis presents our financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise specified.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Estimates, assumptions or judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon future events. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record the valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources.

Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions or judgments and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. We have identified the determination of our ACL, fair value measurements, stock-based compensation, and income taxes to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those judgments, estimates and assumptions (based on new or additional information, changes in the economic environment and/or market interest rates, etc.) could have a significant effect on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these policies, discussed below, to be critical accounting estimates and discuss them directly with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Our most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 included in our Registration Statement that was filed with the SEC. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other notes to the consolidated financial statements and in this MD&A, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, or the judgments affecting the application of these estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in the Registration Statement.

*<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u>*

The ACL represents management's current estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of financial instruments, with particular applicability on our balance sheet to loans held-for-investment and unfunded loan commitments. Estimating the amount of the ACL requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to historical experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the value of collateral on collateral-dependent loans. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on our consolidated balance sheet. Credit losses are charged against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.

There are many factors affecting the ACL; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and is susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes are worse than management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.

Additional information on the loan portfolio and ACL can be found in the sections of this MD&A titled "Loans," "Allowance for

------

Credit Losses on Loans," "Allowance for Credit Losses for Unfunded Commitments," and "Nonperforming Loans." Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 included our Registration Statement that was filed with the SEC includes additional information on accounting policies related to the ACL.

**Emerging Growth Company**

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), as an emerging growth company, we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for adopting any new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we may adopt the standard on the application date for private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the scaled disclosures and other relief under the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us under the JOBS Act, so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company.

*<u>Selected Financial Data</u>*

The following table sets forth unaudited selected financial data for the most recent five quarters and the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. This data should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 and the information contained in this Item 2.

<sup>(1)</sup> We calculate our adjusted net income as net income excluding items that are not part of core business operations, net of income taxes, which incorporate impacts to noninterest income and noninterest expense. This measure helps management and users of the financial statements to understand how core business operations are performing. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under the caption "Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations."

<sup>(2)</sup> This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under the caption "Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations."

<sup>(3)</sup> We calculate tangible book value per common share as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, excluding mortgage servicing rights, divided by the outstanding number of our shares of common stock at the end of the relevant period. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible book value per common share, the most comparable GAAP measure is book value per common share.

**Results of Operations — Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024**

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. We reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $6.0 million compared to net income of $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $78 thousand was primarily attributable to a lower effective tax rate albeit with a lower taxable income.

*<u>Net Interest Income</u>*

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information about: (i) weighted average balances, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. The income and yield from non-taxable investment securities was not adjusted for tax equivalency.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.1 million compared to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.4 million, or 8.6%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our total interest-earning assets coupled with a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in the average balance for the interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in average loans outstanding. The yield on total earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 31 and 49 basis points, respectively, during the same period.

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $31.8 million compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $623 thousand, or 2.0%. This increase was primarily due to growth in our loans portfolio albeit with lower yields.

Interest and fees on LHFI were $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $180 thousand, or 0.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average LHFI of $81.8 million, or 5.7%, albeit with a decrease in yield. The yield on gross LHFI decreased by 33 basis points compared to the same period in 2024. Interest and fees on LHFS were $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of LHFS outstanding although the yield decreased by 84 basis points compared to the same period in 2024.

Interest income on investment securities was $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that the yield on investment securities decreased by 30 basis points and the average balance decreased by $8.6 million during the period.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $13.7 million compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower average borrowings, specifically the payoff of a $70.0 million Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") that was outstanding during the second quarter of 2024, coupled with a 49 basis point decrease in the average cost of overall total interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in money market and time deposit accounts as the rates were adjusted to align with the market. Average borrowings outstanding decreased from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025 by $66.2 million, or 68.5%, primarily due to the aforementioned BTFP payoff, while the cost increased by 50 basis points during the same period.

Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 3.46% and 3.43%, respectively. Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes on both volume and mix and pricing decisions, and external factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. This increase in our net interest margin is primarily due to a combination of average total earning assets growth and a decrease in average total interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $134.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, principally due to growth of our loan portfolio. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $128.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by growth in average interest-bearing deposits.

*<u>Provision for Credit Losses</u>*

Provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $752 thousand compared to $173 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $579 thousand. This increase was primarily due to increased production of LHFI and unfunded commitments, changes in economic factors, and current period net charge-offs, offset by other changes in loss rates. Our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross LHFI at June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 1.15% and 1.11%, respectively.

------

*<u>Noninterest Income</u>*

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.8 million, an increase of $206 thousand or 13.0%, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to gain on sale of government guaranteed loans ("GGL"), offset by a net decrease in other categories of noninterest income.

The following table sets forth the various components of our noninterest income for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** |
| <u>(dollars in thousands)</u> | **2025** | **2024** | **Increase (decrease)** | **Increase (decrease)** |
| **Noninterest income:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Bank-owned life insurance | $449 | $491 | $(42) | (8.6)% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Gain on sale of government guaranteed loans | 265 | 35 | 230 | 657.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interchange and card fee income | 257 | 226 | 31 | 13.7 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Income from mortgage originations | 326 | 299 | 27 | 9.0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Service charges on deposit accounts | 215 | 198 | 17 | 8.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other noninterest income | 283 | 340 | (57) | (16.8) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total noninterest income | $1795 | $1589 | $206 | 13.0% |

Income from bank-owned life insurance policies ("BOLI") decreased by $42 thousand to $449 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $491 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower yield on BOLI during the current period.

Gain on sale of GGL increased by $230 thousand to $265 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $35 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company had more GGL that was able to be sold during the second quarter of 2025 than in the second quarter of 2024.

Interchange and card fee income increased by $31 thousand to $257 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $226 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was attributable to interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through a payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are earned on a daily basis.

Mortgage banking related income increased by $27 thousand to $326 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $299 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to slightly higher secondary market mortgage production which is comprised primarily of activity related to the sale of consumer mortgage loans as well as loan origination fees such as closing charges, document review fees, application fees, other loan origination fees, and loan processing fees.

Service charges on deposit accounts were $215 thousand and $198 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These service charges are mostly comprised of wire, NSF, and overdraft fees.

Other noninterest income decreased by $57 thousand to $283 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $340 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to lower miscellaneous income, offset by a net increase in other categories within other noninterest income.

*<u>Noninterest Expense</u>*

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $34.8 million compared to $32.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.8 million, or 8.6%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our total interest-earning assets while the yield decreased at a lower rate compared the decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities despite a similar growth in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in the average balance for the total interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in average loans outstanding. The yield on total earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 20 and 41 basis points, respectively, during the same period.

------

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $61.8 million compared to $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.1%. This increase was primarily due to growth in our average total earning assets by $111.1 million principally in the average loans portfolio, notwithstanding a decrease in yields by 20 basis points from the comparable period.

Interest and fees on LHFI were $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $46.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $565 thousand, or 1.2%. This decrease was primarily attributable to the yield decrease on gross LHFI by 29 basis points compared to the same period last year. Interest and fees on LHFS were $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of LHFS outstanding, notwithstanding a decrease in yields by 62 basis points.

Interest income on investment securities was $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $206 thousand, or 2.6%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance by $13.9 million despite the yield on investment securities increasing by 8 basis points.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $27.0 million compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 5.2%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 41 basis point decrease in the average yield on overall total interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in money markets and time deposits, due to rates adjustments. Average borrowings outstanding decreased from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025 by $69.4 million, or 71.2%, principally due to payoff of a $70.0 million Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") that was outstanding during the second half of 2024, while the yield increased by 76 basis points.

Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 3.42% and 3.32%, respectively. Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes on both volume and mix and pricing decisions, and external factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. This increase in our net interest margin was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets coupled with a decrease in yield on total earning assets at a lower pace as compared the decrease in yield for total interest-earning liabilities as discussed above.

*<u>Provision for Credit Losses</u>*

Provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.4 million compared to $336 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.0 million. This increase was primarily attributable to increased production of LHFI and unfunded commitments, changes in economic factors, and current period net charge-offs, and an increase in reserves of individually analyzed collateral-dependent loans, offset by other changes in loss rates. Our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross LHFI at June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 1.15% and 1.11%, respectively.

*<u>Noninterest Income</u>*

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.7 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 1,007.7%, compared to a loss of $405 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to the previously disclosed loss on sale of AFS securities of $3.5 million, pre-tax, due AFS portfolio strategic repositioning during the six months ended June 30, 2024 coupled with a net increase in other noninterest income categories, principally $438 thousand of income recognized from a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") partnership investment related to the sale of one of the fund's underlying investments.

The following table sets forth the various components of our noninterest income for the periods indicated:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total noninterest income (loss) | $3676 | $(405) | $4081 | 1007.7% |

---

BOLI income increased by $102 thousand to $889 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $787 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher yield on BOLI during the current period.

Gain on sale of GGL decreased by $90 thousand to $265 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $355 thousand for the same period during 2024. The Company's gain on the sale of GGL volume increases or decreases based on the attractiveness of market premiums and the amount of inventory of loans that are saleable.

------

Interchange and card fee income increased by $81 thousand to $523 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $442 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was attributable to an increase in interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through a payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are earned on a daily basis.

Mortgage banking related income increased by $10 thousand to $547 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $537 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue from mortgage production which is comprised primarily of activity related to the sale of consumer mortgage loans as well as loan origination fees such as closing charges, document review fees, application fees, other loan origination fees, and loan processing fees, albeit slightly lower secondary market volume.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $17 thousand to $426 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $409 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was attributable to higher number of NSF and overdraft fees charged during 2025.

There were no sales of AFS securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Losses on sale of AFS securities were $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The losses on sale of AFS securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were due to a previously disclosed nonrecurring AFS portfolio strategic repositioning in 2024.

Other noninterest income increased by $496 thousand to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $530 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the aforementioned income recognized from a SBIC partnership investment related to the sale of one of the fund's underlying investments. Apart from this SBIC partnership related income, the largest component of other non-interest income generally consists of SBA loan servicing fees. SBA loan servicing fees increased by $26 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

*<u>Noninterest Expense</u>* 

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $23.5 million compared to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.6 million, or 12.5%.

The decrease in effective tax rate compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to a higher recognition of solar tax credits during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We had a net deferred tax asset of $17.2 million and $18.6 million at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Financial Condition**

*<u>Total Assets</u>*

Total assets increased $122.5 million, or 5.8%, to $2.22 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $2.10 billion at December 31, 2024. The increasing trend in total assets was primarily attributable to growth of our loans held for investment portfolio.

*<u>Loans</u>* 

Loans represent the largest portion of our earning assets, substantially greater than the securities portfolio or any other of our asset category.

Average loans, including both LHFI and LHFS, were 78.9% and 77.7% of average earning assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Therefore, the quality and diversification of our loan portfolio is an important consideration when reviewing our financial condition. The Company has established systematic procedures for approving and monitoring loans that vary depending on the size and nature of the loan and applies these procedures in a disciplined manner. Total gross loans of $1.74 billion at June 30, 2025 represent an increase of $152.8 million or 9.7% as compared to December 31, 2024.

LHFS are comprised of loans acquired through mortgage warehouse lending activities and origination of mortgage loans. We act as a warehouse lender by purchasing loans originated by third-party mortgage originators and selling these loans to other third-party investors. We also originate mortgage loans with customers through CSM and sell these loans to third-party investors. LHFS at June 30, 2025 were $209.1 million compared to $174.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Gross LHFI increased $117.8 million, or 8.4%, to $1.53 billion as of June 30, 2025 compared to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2024. There was a higher market demand for our commercial and retail loan products during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 as the Company experienced strong loan demand and has been able to close many deals in the pipeline.

The Company engages in a full complement of lending activities, including CRE loans, construction loans, C&I, and consumer purpose loans. Our loan portfolio has concentrations of over 10% of LHFI in income producing CRE, senior housing, marine vessels loans, and residential mortgages with the remaining balance in other categories within commercial and retail loans categories.

The Company has established a policy for managing concentration limits in the loan portfolio for commercial real estate, senior housing, and marine lending, among other loan types. All loan types are within established limits. We use underwriting guidelines to assess the borrowers' historical cash flow to determine debt service, and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending agreements, when appropriate, to allow us to react to a borrower's deteriorating financial condition, should that occur.

The following tables presents the maturity distribution of our loans as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The tables show the distribution of such loans between those loans with predetermined (fixed) interest rates and those with variable (floating) interest rates:

The following is a discussion of the Company's segments and classes of LHFI:

*<u>Commercial Loans</u>*

As of June 30, 2025, our total commercial loans comprised of $932.0 million or 61.1%, of loans, compared to $864.4 million, or 61.3% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our total commercial loans balances increased by $67.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.

Following below are our principal commercial loans portfolio categories:

*Acquisition, Development, and Construction –* ADC loans include both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing, carrying, and developing land into residential subdivisions or various types of commercial developments, such as industrial, hospitality, warehouse, retail, office, and multi-family. This category also includes loans and credit lines for construction of residential developments, multi-family buildings, and commercial buildings. The Company generally engages in ADC lending primarily in local markets served by its branches, and through our homebuilder finance and government guaranteed lending lines of business. The Company recognizes that risks are inherent in the financing of commercial real estate development and construction. These risks include location, market conditions and price volatility, change in interest rates, demand for developed land, lots and buildings, desirability of features and styling of completed developments and buildings, competition from other developments and builders, traffic patterns, remote work patterns, governmental jurisdiction, tax structure, availability of utilities, roads, public transportation and schools, availability of permanent financing for homebuyers, zoning, environmental restrictions, lawsuits, economic and business cycle, labor, and reputation of the builder or developer.

Each ADC loan is underwritten to address: (i) the desirability of the project, its market viability and projected absorption period; (ii) the creditworthiness of the borrower and the guarantor as to liquidity, cash flow and assets available to ensure performance of the loan; (iii) equity contribution to the project; (iv) the developer's experience and success with similar projects; and (v) the value of the collateral. ADC loans are inspected periodically to ensure that the project is on schedule and eligible for requested draws. Inspections may be performed by construction inspectors hired by the Company or by appropriate loan officers and are conducted periodically to monitor the progress of a particular project. These inspections may also include discussions with project managers and engineers. Rising interest rates and the potential for slowing economic conditions could negatively impact borrowers' and guarantors' ability to repay their debt which could make more of the Company's loans collateral-dependent.

The following table presents the balance and associated percentage of each category in our ADC loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of June 30, 2025** | **As of June 30, 2025** | **As of December 31, 2024** | **As of December 31, 2024** |
| <u>(dollars in thousands)</u> | **Amount** | **% of Total** | **Amount** | **% of Total** |
| **ADC Loans by Type** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Residential Builder | 61210 | 60.9% | 57597 | 79.4% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other | 24674 | 24.5 | 12682 | 17.5 |

---

------

As of June 30, 2025, our ADC loans comprised of $100.5 million, or 6.6%, of loans, compared to $72.5 million, or 5.2% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our ADC loans balances increased $28.0 million or 38.6% since December 31, 2024 due to continued demand of the ADC loans in our markets.

*Income Producing CRE* – Income producing CRE loans include loans to finance income-producing commercial and multifamily properties. Lending in this category is generally limited to properties located in the Company's market area with only limited exposure to properties located elsewhere but owned by in-market borrowers. Loans in this category include loans for neighborhood retail centers, medical and professional offices, single retail stores, warehouses and apartments leased generally to local businesses and residents. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the occupancy, rental rates, and local market demand as well as the financial health of the borrower. The primary risk associated with loans secured with income producing property is the inability of that property to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment, significant increases to interest rates, generally weak economic conditions and/or an oversupply in the market may result in our customers having difficulty achieving adequate occupancy and/or rental rates. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. The Company's income producing CRE portfolio is diverse, with exposure spread across multiple real estate purposes.

The following table presents the balance and associated percentage of each category in our income producing CRE loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

As of June 30, 2025, our income producing CRE loans comprised of $372.1 million, or 24.4%, of loans, compared to $321.6 million, or 22.8% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. The weighted average original or renewal loan-to-value ("LTV") of income producing CRE loans with an outstanding balance of greater than $500 thousand, which makes up 95.8% of the CRE balances June 30, 2025, was 61.7% and 63.0% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our income producing CRE loans balances increased $50.6 million, or 15.7% since December 31, 2024 due to a steady demand in our markets coupled with fewer competitors actively pursuing income producing CRE loans and the reclassification of certain ADC loans to this category that completed construction during the period.

*Owner-Occupied CRE* – Owner-occupied CRE loans include loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment and owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal guarantees, if applicable, are generally required for these loans. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, pandemics, government regulation, supply chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel, or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.

The following table presents the balance and associated percentage of each category in our owner-occupied CRE loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of June 30, 2025** | **As of June 30, 2025** | **As of December 31, 2024** | **As of December 31, 2024** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total owner-occupied CRE loans | $91147 | 100.0% | $94573 | 100.0% |

---

As of June 30, 2025, our owner-occupied CRE loans comprised of $91.1 million, or 6.0%, of loans, compared to $94.6 million, or 6.7% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. The weighted average original or renewal LTV of owner-occupied CRE loans with an outstanding balance of greater than $500 thousand, which makes up 72.7% of the balances at June 30, 2025, was 77.4% and 76.1% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our owner-occupied CRE loans balances decreased $3.4 million or 3.6% since December 31, 2024 as competition remains fierce for this loan type.

------

*Senior Housing* – Senior housing loans support senior adults facilities, generally restricted for adults over the age of 55 years old. These types of loans include senior apartments, independent living communities, assisted living and memory care communities, nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities, and continuing care retirement communities. The Company recognizes that risk from high resident turnover, pandemics, government regulation, operator risk, increases in acuity, availability and cost of qualified staffing resources, technology risk, and other risks such as liability, insurance, reimbursement and regulatory changes may impact repayment of these loans. Underwriting focuses primarily on operator quality and business operations rather than income producing CRE property quality metrics.

As of June 30, 2025, our Senior housing loans comprised of $236.5 million or 15.5%, of loans, compared to $234.1 million, or 16.6% of loans as of December 31, 2024. The weighted average original or renewal LTV of Senior housing loans was 62.9% and 62.4% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our Senior housing loans balances increased $2.4 million or 1.0% since December 31, 2024 as the Company continues monitoring its concentration of Senior housing loans.

*Commercial and Industrial* – C&I loans are loans and lines of credit to finance business operations, equipment and other non-real estate collateral primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. These include both lines of credit and term loans which are amortized over the useful life of the assets financed. Personal and/or corporate guarantees are generally obtained where available and prudent. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, commodity prices, pandemics, government regulation, supply-chain disruptions, product innovations or obsolescence, operational errors, lawsuits, natural disasters, losses due to theft or embezzlement, health or loss of key personnel or competitive situations may adversely affect the scheduled repayment of business loans.

As of June 30, 2025, our C&I loans comprised of $131.7 million, or 8.6% of loans, compared to $141.6 million, or 10.0% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our C&I loans balances have decreased by $9.9 million or 7.0% since December 31, 2024 due to lower production.

*<u>Retail Loans</u>*

As of June 30, 2025, our total retail loans comprised of $595.2 million, or 38.9% of loans, compared to $545.1 million, or 38.7% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our total retail loans balances increased $50.1 million or 9.2% since December 31, 2024 due to a higher production and demand for our retail products, primarily marine vessels and residential mortgages loans.

Following below are our principal retail loans portfolio categories:

*Residential Mortgages* – Residential mortgages are first or second-lien loans secured by a primary residence or second home. This category includes permanent mortgage financing, construction loans to individual consumers, and home equity lines of credit. The loans are generally secured by properties located within the local market area of the Bank's retail footprint which originates and services the loan. These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's general loan policies and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower's financial condition, satisfactory credit history, and property value. In addition to loans originated through the Company's branches, the Company originates and services residential mortgages sold in the secondary market which are underwritten and closed pursuant to investor and agency guidelines. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral.

As of June 30, 2025, our residential mortgage loans comprised of $185.5 million, or 12.1% of loans, compared to $174.1 million, or 12.4% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our residential mortgage loans balances increased $11.4 million or 6.6% since December 31, 2024 due to continued demand for our residential mortgage products.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we originated $40.5 million and sold $21.0 million in home mortgage loans. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we originated $86.0 million and sold $49.5 million in home mortgage loans.

*Marine Vessels* – Marine vessel loans are a type of consumer loan used to finance the purchase of a boat or another marine craft. Functioning similarly to auto loans and personal loans, these installment loans come with a repayment term, fixed monthly payments and variable-or-fixed interest rates. These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's general loan policies and procedures and are generally secured with title or preferred ships' mortgage on the marine vessel. The Company recognizes that risk from economic cycles, pandemics, government regulation, natural disasters, losses due to theft, or changes to customer's ability to meet the scheduled repayment of marine vessel.

As of June 30, 2025, our marine vessels loans comprised of $301.3 million or 19.7%, of loans, compared to $263.7 million, or 18.6% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our marine vessels loans balances increased $37.7 million or 14.3% since December 31, 2024 due to higher demand for our marine vessels loans product.

*Cash Value Life Insurance Line of Credit* – Cash value life insurance ("CVLI") encompasses multiple types of life insurance that contain a cash value account. This cash value component typically earns interest or other investment gains and grows tax deferred. CVLI loans are generally lines of credit secured by cash value life insurance of the debtor and can be originated for personal or business purposes. Upon the delinquency of the loan or lapse of an insurance policy premium payment, the Company pursues liquidation of the policy cash value in order to satisfy the loan.

------

As of June 30, 2025, our CVLI loans comprised of $87.1 million, or 5.7% of loans, compared to $86.8 million, or 6.2% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our CVLI loans balances increased modestly by $291 thousand or 0.3% since December 31, 2024 as higher interest rates have softened demand for the product.

As of June 30, 2025, our other consumer loans comprised of $21.2 million, or 1.4% of loans, compared to $20.5 million, or 1.5% of loans, as of December 31, 2024. Our other consumer loans balances increased $718 thousand or 3.5% since December 31, 2024 as higher interest rates have softened demand for the product.

*<u>Internally Assigned Grades on LHFI</u>*

The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system for the Commercial portfolio that is updated to perpetually grade loans according to certain credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators include, but are not limited to, recent credit performance, delinquency, liquidity, cash flows, debt coverage ratios, collateral type and LTV ratio. The Company determines its risk rating classification of the Retail lending portfolio based on nonaccrual and delinquency status in accordance with the Uniform Retail Credit Classification guidance and industry norms. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

<sup>(1)</sup> Retail loans are not risk rated but are classified as performing or nonperforming. Performing loans are presented in the Pass category and nonperforming loans are in the Substandard category.

Pass rated loans were 97.6% of total LHFI at June 30, 2025 as compared to 96.0% at December 31, 2024. Special mention rated loans were 1.2% of total LHFI at June 30, 2025 as compared to 1.8% at December 31, 2024. Substandard loans were 1.2% of total LHFI at June 30, 2025 as compared to 2.2% at December 31, 2024. The primary cause of the decrease in special mention and substandard loans during the comparative periods is a combination of payoffs, paydowns, and improved business performance within the Senior Housing loan portfolio.

*<u>Nonperforming Loans</u>*

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when it becomes probable that interest is not fully collectable generally when the loan becomes 90 days past due. Once loans are placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from interest income, and the accrual of interest income is suspended. Future payments received are applied to the principal balance of the loan. If and when borrowers demonstrate the sustained ability to repay such loans in accordance with the loan's contractual terms, the loan may be returned to accrual status. Loans which

------

become 90 days past due are reviewed for collectability of principal. Principal amounts deemed uncollectible are charged off against the provision for credit losses on loans, unless such loans are in the process of modification, collection through repossession, or foreclosure. Certain consumer loans are not placed on nonaccrual but are monitored and charged-off at 120 days past due.

Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned until sold and is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, minus estimated costs to sell. Subsequent to foreclosure, losses resulting from the periodic revaluation of the property are charged to loss on OREO, net and a new carrying value is established. Any gains or losses realized at the time of disposal or subsequent write-downs are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenses to maintain such assets are included in net cost of operation of OREO.

Nonperforming loans include loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing and loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans in addition to OREO.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our nonperforming assets among our different asset categories as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

<sup>(1)</sup> Nonaccrual loans include balances of approximately $4.6 million and $4.8 million that are covered by government guarantees at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Nonperforming loans were $14.7 million and $15.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the sale of other real estate owned and payments collected on nonaccrual loans during the period.

*<u>Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans</u>*

The ACL on loans is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The ACL represents management's best estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the loan, adjusted for expected contractual payments and the impact of prepayment expectations. ACL is not required for LHFS and is only recorded for LHFI.

The Company estimates the ACL on loans based on the underlying loans' amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the financing receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, and charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. It is the Company's policy to write off uncollectible interest receivable of LHFI when it is considered uncollectible, which is generally when an asset is placed on nonaccrual and exclude it from the ACL.

Expected credit losses are reflected in the ACL through a charge to Provision for credit losses. When the Company deems all or a portion of a loan to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged off amounts, if any, are credited to the ACL when received. See *Note 1* of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding ACL policy.

It is management's policy to maintain the ACL at a level adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The Federal Reserve Bank and South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions also review the ACL as an integral part of their examination process. Based on the

------

information currently available, management believes that our ACL is adequate. However, the loan portfolio can be adversely affected if economic conditions or the real estate market in our market areas were to weaken. The effect of such events, although uncertain at this time, could result in an increase in the level of nonperforming loans and increased loan losses, which could adversely affect our future growth and profitability. No assurance of the ultimate level of credit losses can be given with any certainty.

The allowance for credit losses on loans was $17.5 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $17.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $379 thousand, or 2.2% primarily attributed to increased production of LHFI, changes in economic factors, and current period net charge-offs, offset by other changes in loss rates and a decrease in reserves on individually analyzed loans.

*Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans*. The following table provides an analysis of the ACL on loans and net charge-offs for the periods presented:

<sup>(1)</sup> Excludes allowance for credit losses for unfunded loans commitments.

At June 30, 2025, the ACL on loans totaled $17.5 million, or 1.15% of loans, compared to $17.1 million, or 1.21% of loans, at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the ACL on loans as a percentage of loans compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily attributed to changes in loan volume and mix and changes in economic factors offset by other changes in loss rates and a decrease in reserves on individually analyzed loans.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net charge-off ratio as a percentage of average loans, as annualized, was 0.03%, compared to 0.01% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Originating and maintaining high quality loans is a top priority for the management.

As of June 30, 2025, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.66%, compared to 0.76% as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to the sale of other real estate owned and payments collected on nonaccrual loans during the period.

*<u>Allowance for Credit Losses for Unfunded Commitments</u>*

The Company records an ACL for unfunded loan commitments, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for credit losses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The ACL for unfunded commitment exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur. The ACL for unfunded commitments is included in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

------

As of June 30, 2025, the ACL for unfunded commitments was $3.5 million compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in the ACL for unfunded commitments was primarily due to production of new loan commitments.

Net charge-offs were $223 thousand and $96 thousand as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

*<u>Deposits</u>*

Deposits represent our Bank's primary source of funds. We gather deposits primarily through our branch locations and targeting new deposits relationships by our bankers. We offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposits accounts, interest-bearing products, savings accounts, and certificate of deposits. We put continued effort into gathering noninterest demand deposits accounts through marketing to our existing and new loan customers, customer referrals, and expansion into new markets. As the Company wins new loan customers and targets new deposit relationships with competitive rates on interest bearing accounts, our bankers are focused on ensuring that we win the entire relationship, including operating accounts, so that we can preserve our attractive mix of deposits.

Total deposits increased $133.5 million, or 7.3%, to $1.97 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.83 billion at December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, 15.9% of total deposits were comprised of noninterest-bearing deposits accounts and 84.1% of interest-bearing deposit accounts compared to 16.5% and 83.5% as of December 31, 2024, respectively. These increases were due to a continued result of pursuing and winning new relationships as well as maintaining our existing relationships.

At June 30, 2025, we had total brokered deposits of $307.9 million, or 15.6% of total deposits, compared to $275.3 million, or 15.0% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. We use brokered deposits, subject to certain limitations and requirements, as a source of funding to support our asset growth and augment the deposits generated from our branch network, which are our principal source of funding. Our level of brokered deposits varies from time to time depending on competitive interest rate conditions and other factors and tends to increase as a percentage of total deposits when the brokered deposits are less costly than issuing internet certificates of deposit or borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

At June 30, 2025, our uninsured deposits were $713.7 million, or 36.3% of total deposits, compared to $667.4 million, or 36.4% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024.

*<u>Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights</u>*

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we serviced $114.6 million and $120.4 million, respectively, of SBA and United States Department of Agriculture loans for others. The size of this loan servicing portfolio has grown over the last few years as we consistently originated and sold portions of these loans that we originate while retaining loan servicing rights. Activity for commercial mortgage servicing rights was as follows:

Our commercial mortgage servicing rights are included in intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheets and are reported net of amortization and impairment, if any.

*<u>Other Borrowings</u>*

The Company utilizes FHLBA advances as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations. These FHLBA advances are collateralized by securities owned by the Company and held in safekeeping by the FHLBA, FHLBA stock owned by the Company, and certain qualifying loans secured by real estate, including residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLBA of $177.0 million and $162.8 million, respectively. We had no FHLBA advances outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and $15.0 million of FHLBA advances outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

The Company had no line of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and a $12.0 million line of credit outstanding, net of debt costs, as of December 31, 2024 with a maximum commitment availability of $24.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $14.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, of subordinated debt, net of debt costs outstanding.

*<u>Investment Portfolio</u>*

The securities portfolio is the second largest component of our interest earning assets. The portfolio serves the following purposes: (i) to optimize the Bank's income consistent with the investment portfolio's liquidity and risk objectives; (ii) to balance market and credit risks of other assets and the Bank's liability structure; (iii) to profitably deploy funds which are not needed to fulfill loan demand, deposit redemptions or other liquidity purposes; and (iv) provide collateral which the Bank is required to pledge against public funds.

We classify our securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Investment securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. All of the securities in our investment portfolio were classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Investment securities available-for-sale are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Monthly adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities.

------

Securities available-for-sale consist primarily of U.S. Treasuries, municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt securities. No issuer of the available-for-sale securities comprised more than ten percent of our shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, except Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA') and Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") within those periods.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At June 30, 2025, we evaluated securities available-for-sale which had an unrealized loss to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value with a charge to earnings. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding contractual maturities and the weighted average yields of our investment securities as of June 30, 2025. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Yields were computed using coupon interest, adding discount accretion or subtracting premium amortization, as appropriate, considering the expected life of each security. The weighted average yield for each maturity range was computed using the amortized cost of each security within the applicable maturity range. The yield on non-taxable investments was not adjusted for tax equivalency.

We utilize interest rate swaps agreements for some of our securities available-for-sale as part of our asset-liability management strategy to help mitigate its interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of our hedged securities available for sale related to cumulative basis adjustment for the fair value hedges was $23.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively.

*<u>Liquidity</u>*

The term liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet cash flow requirements of our depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operational, capital, and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities in order to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.

The Bank's Asset and Liability Committee, as well as the Credit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors are the primary groups responsible for monitoring the Bank's liquidity position. We have identified various liquidity metrics and ratios, including the volatile funds ratio, non-core funding dependency ratio and loan to deposit ratio that these committees use to monitor the Bank's liquidity position. Further, these groups are also responsible for reviewing and monitoring the stress testing of the Bank's overall liquidity under multiple liquidity stress scenarios. As of June 30, 2025 the Bank was in compliance with all internal policies and guidelines.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of our liquid assets and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in correspondent banks, federal funds sold, and fair value of unpledged investment securities.

------

Other available sources of liquidity include wholesale deposits, and additional borrowings from correspondent banks, FHLBA advances, and the Federal Reserve discount window.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, and new customer deposits. Other alternative sources of funds will supplement these primary sources to the extent necessary to meet additional liquidity requirements on either a short-term or long-term basis.

As part of our liquidity management strategy, we open federal funds lines with our correspondent banks. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $69.5 million of unsecured federal funds lines with no amounts advanced.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had access to the Federal Reserve's discount window in the amount of $29.4 million and $30.4 million, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for the Federal Reserve's discount window. We had pledged investment securities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaling $8.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, as collateral for federal funds purchased. In addition, we also had pledged investment securities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaling $31.0 million and $32.1 million, respectively, as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank.

At June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding advances from the FHLBA. At December 31, 2024, we had $15.0 million of outstanding advances from the FHLBA. Based on the values of collateral pledged, we had $169.0 million and $141.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of additional borrowing availability with the FHLBA. We had no pledged investment securities at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024 pledged as collateral for the FHLBA advances. We also maintain relationships in the capital markets with brokers to issue certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

*<u>Capital Requirements</u>*

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct adverse material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios. These include a CET1 risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, which includes CET1 and additional Tier 1 capital, and a total risk-based capital ratio, which includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. CET1 is primarily comprised of the sum of common stock instruments and related surplus net of treasury stock plus retained earnings less certain adjustments and deductions, including with respect to goodwill, intangible assets, mortgage servicing assets, and deferred tax assets subject to temporary timing differences. Additional Tier 1 capital is primarily comprised of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. Tier 2 capital consists of instruments disqualified from Tier 1 capital, including qualifying subordinated debt and a limited amount of loan loss reserves up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, subject to certain eligibility criteria. The capital rules also define the risk-weights assigned to assets and off-balance sheet items to determine the risk-weighted asset components of the risk-based capital rules, including, for example, certain "high volatility" commercial real estate, past due assets, structured securities, and equity holdings.

The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total assets, which is known as the Tier 1 leverage ratio. The leverage capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets net of goodwill, certain other intangible assets, and certain required deduction items require the Bank to maintain:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets, after certain adjustments, of 4.0%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a minimum ratio of total-capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%.

In addition, the capital rules require a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above each of the minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements (CET1, Tier 1, and total capital), comprised of CET1, which is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. These buffer requirements must be met for a bank or bank holding company to be able to pay dividends, engage in share buybacks, or make discretionary bonus payments to executive management without restriction. The capital conservation buffer in effect as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 4.04% and 4.97%, respectively.

*Prompt Corrective Action* — The Federal Banking agencies have broad powers with which to require companies to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. The law establishes five capital categories for this purpose:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) well-capitalized;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) adequately capitalized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) undercapitalized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) significantly undercapitalized; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (v) critically undercapitalized.

To be well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain at least the following capital ratios:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•6.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•8.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•10.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•5.0% Tier 1 leverage ratio.

The table below summarizes the capital requirements applicable to the Bank in order to be considered "well-capitalized" from a regulatory perspective, as well as the Bank's capital ratios as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Because the Company is a small bank holding company under the guidelines of the Federal Reserve and is not required to report consolidated capital ratios for regulatory purposes, capital ratios are presented for the Bank only.

The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered to be "well-capitalized" as of the dates reflected per the table below.

There have been no conditions or events since June 30, 2025 that management believes would change this classification.

The following table summarizes the capital amounts and ratios of CSB and the regulatory minimum requirements at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

---

<sup>(1)</sup> $27 million due within one year includes a gross revolving commercial line of credit of $12 million and an FHLB of Atlanta advance of $15 million outstanding; $15 million due after five years represents gross subordinated debt outstanding.

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. We expect to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

------

*<u>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements</u>*

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities. Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

See Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, for more information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations**

The measures entitled return on average tangible book value per share, adjusted nonperforming assets to total assets, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, efficiency ratio, as adjusted, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest income to total revenue, and tangible common equity to tangible assets are not measures recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are return on book value per share, total nonperforming assets to total assets, net income, basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, net income, return on average assets, return on average equity, the efficiency ratio, return on average equity, noninterest income to total revenue, total common equity to total assets, respectively.

Management believes that that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view the Company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company's past performance and prospects for future performance. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, this information should be considered as supplemental and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way the Company's financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, shareholders' equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible equity and total assets (on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets and calculates our tangible book value per share.

The efficiency ratio, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to adjusted revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio, adjusted, by dividing total noninterest expenses, as determined under GAAP but excluding merger related expenses, by the sum

------

of total net interest income and total noninterest income, each as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains or losses on the sale of securities and other nonrecurring income sources, if applicable, from this calculation, which we refer to below as adjusted revenue. We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

For the noninterest income to total revenue ratio, we calculate revenue as net interest income plus noninterest income but excluding net gains or losses on the sale of securities and other nonrecurring income sources, if applicable, from this calculation, which we refer to below as adjusted revenue. We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of core noninterest income relative to core total revenue.

The following table reconciles our efficiency ratio, as adjusted, and noninterest income to total revenue ratio for the periods set forth below.

Management will often make adjustments to our results of operations when completing analysis of our operations in order to exclude certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core banking operations. For the tables below, net income is adjusted to remove merger related expenses as well as gains or losses on sales of securities and other nonrecurring income sources, if applicable. While we acknowledge that these items are likely to recur in future periods, they are not considered to be indicative of our core banking operations, and therefore, management often excludes them from our analysis of our return on average assets and our return on average equity to better understand our core operating performance.

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

*<u>Market Risk</u>*

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. We are also exposed to market risk in our investing activities.

*<u>Interest Rate Risk Management</u>*

Net interest income is our most significant component of earnings and we consider interest rate risk to be our most significant market risk. Our net interest income results from the difference between the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investments, and the rates that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. When interest rates change, the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets and the rates we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities do not necessarily move in tandem with each other because of the difference between their maturities and repricing characteristics and which can negatively impact net interest income.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect the average duration of our loan portfolio, investment securities and other interest-earning assets.

Our goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may impact our earnings adversely because the interest rates of the underlying assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

One of the tools management uses to estimate and manage the sensitivity of net interest revenue to changes in interest rates is an asset/liability simulation model. Resulting estimates are based upon multiple assumptions for each scenario, including loan and deposit re-pricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments. The ALCO periodically reviews the assumptions for reasonableness based on historical data and future expectations; however, actual net interest revenue may differ from model results. The primary objective of the simulation model is to measure the potential change in net interest revenue over time using multiple interest rate scenarios. The base scenario assumes rates remain flat and is the scenario to which all others are compared, in order to measure the change in net interest revenue. Policy limits are based on immediate rate shock scenarios which are compared to the base scenario. Other scenarios analyzed may include ramped rate shocks, delayed rate shocks, yield curve steepening or flattening, or other variations in rate movements. While the primary policy scenarios focus on a 12-month time frame, longer time horizons are also modeled.

Our policy is based on the 12-month impact on net interest revenue of interest rate shocks. Our shock scenario assumes rates immediately change the full amount at the scenario onset. The following table presents our interest sensitivity position at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Net Interest Income<br>Sensitivity** | **Net Interest Income<br>Sensitivity** | **Net Interest Income<br>Sensitivity** | **Net Interest Income<br>Sensitivity** |
|  | **12 Month Projection** | **12 Month Projection** | **12 Month Projection** | **12 Month Projection** |
| **(Shock in basis points)** | **-200** | **-100** | **+100** | **+200** |
| June 30, 2025 | (6.79)% | (4.00)% | 4.31% | 7.39% |
| December 31, 2024 | (5.32)% | (2.88)% | 4.10% | 7.28% |

---

There has been no significant change in the Company's estimated net interest income sensitivity position from December 31, 2024. From a net interest income perspective, the Company generally has an asset sensitive rate position. With the current inverted interest rate yield curve, modeling of net interest income in changing rate environments presents particular challenges. A flat or inverted interest rate yield curve is an unfavorable interest rate environment for many financial institutions, including the Bank, as short-term interest rates generally drive our deposit pricing and longer-term interest rates generally drive loan pricing. When these rates converge or invert, the profit spread we realize between loan yields and deposit rates narrows, which pressures our NIM.

*<u>Economic Value of Equity</u>*

We also compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (economic value of equity or "EVE") would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance

------

sheet contract under the assumptions that the yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the yield curve at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity** | **Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity** | **Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity** | **Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity** |
| **(Shock in basis points)** | **-200** | **-100** | **+100** | **+200** |
| June 30, 2025 | (3.78)% | (1.26)% | 1.23% | (0.14)% |
| December 31, 2024 | (3.51)% | (1.13)% | (0.19)% | (2.22)% |

---

As previously noted, these assumptions are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from simulated results. The current interest rate path is less certain for 2025, and further rate decreases are contingent upon improving inflationary conditions. Further changes to interest rates and monetary policy are dependent upon the Federal Reserve's assessment of economic data as it becomes available. We would expect net interest income to decline somewhat in a decreasing interest rate environment and to increase in an increasing interest rate environment, as our model reflects that interest-earning assets reprice faster than interest-bearing deposits which is attributable to assumed deposit betas and repricing lags as there is continued strong market competition for core deposits.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>*

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

*<u>Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u>*

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

On July 30, 2025, the underwriters purchased an additional 300,000 shares from the selling shareholders, exercising their option to purchase up to 305,250 shares from the selling shareholders within 30 days following the offering. We received proceeds of $34.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.5 million. We expect the estimated offering expenses payable by us to be approximately $1.9 million. Piper Sandler & Co. acted as bookrunner for the IPO, and Stephens Inc. acted as lead manager for the offering. None of the expenses associated with the IPO were paid to directors, officers, affiliates, persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities, or to their associates, or to our affiliates.

All of the shares issued and sold in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287854), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 1, 2025. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO from those disclosed in our final prospectus dated July 1, 2025 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on July 2, 2025.
