**BANKFINANCIAL CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

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

***Basis of Presentation***: BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, National Association (the "Bank"). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BFIN Asset Recovery Company, LLC (collectively, the "Company"), and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the *three* and *nine*-month periods ended *September 30, 2025* are *not* necessarily indicative of the results of operations that *may* be expected for the year ending *December 31, 2025* or for any other period.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

On *August 11, 2025,* the Company and First Financial Bancorp. ("First Financial"), the parent company of First Financial Bank, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, BankFinancial would merge with and into First Financial (the "Merger"), with First Financial continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, First Financial will cause BankFinancial NA to merge with and into First Financial Bank (the "Bank Merger"), with First Financial Bank continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of First Financial and BankFinancial. The closing of the Merger remains subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and approval of BankFinancial's stockholders.

***Use of Estimates***: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual information and actual results could differ from those estimates.

***Interest-Bearing Time Deposits in other Financial Institutions:*** Interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions include investments in certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than *90* days. These certificates of deposit are placed with insured institutions for varying maturities and amounts that are fully

insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

***Factored Receivables:*** The Company purchases invoices from its factoring customers in schedules or batches. These receivables are included in loans receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and as commercial loans and leases in Note *4* - Loans Receivable. The face value of the invoices purchased or amount advanced is recorded by the Company as factored receivables, and the unadvanced portions of the invoices purchased, less fees, are considered customer reserves. The customer reserves are held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls. Customer reserves *may* be used to pay customers' obligations to various *third* parties as directed by the customer. Customer reserves are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as noninterest-bearing deposits in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The unpaid principal balances of these receivables were $4.2 million and $6.7 million at *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively, and are included in commercial loans and leases. The customer reserves associated with the factored receivables were $836,000 and $1.5 million at *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively.

Factoring fees are recognized in interest income as incurred by the customer and deducted from the customer's reserve balances. Other factoring-related fees, which include wire transfer fees, broker fees, and other similar fees, are reported by the Company as loan servicing fees in noninterest income.

***Reclassifications***: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period's financial statements to conform them to the current period's presentation with *no* impact on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity. Activity for the *nine* months ended *September 30, 2024* for interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions has been reclassified in the statement of cashflows to conform with current period's presentation. There is *no* impact on net income or stockholders' equity.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form *10*-K for the year ended *December 31, 2024*, as filed with the SEC.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards *Not* Yet Adopted***

In *December 2023,* the FASB issued ASU *2023-09* "Income Taxes (Topic *740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires more detailed disclosures of income taxes paid net of refunds received, income from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense from continuing operations. This standard is to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted, and will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on *January 1, 2025.* We do *not* expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In *November 2024,* the FASB issued ASU *2024*-*03,* "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic *220*-*40*): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". This ASU requires public companies to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. Specifically, public companies will be required to disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. Within the same tabular disclosure, an entity must disclose certain expense, gain, or loss amounts that are already required under current U.S. GAAP. Further, an entity must disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are *not* separately disaggregated quantitatively. In addition, an entity must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2027.* Early adoption is permitted. We do *not* expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

**NOTE *1* - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continuted)

***Recent Developments***

On *July 4, 2025,* the President signed H.R. *1,* the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in *2025,* including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, reinstatement of *100%* bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense. We do *not* expect this to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

**NOTE *2* - EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Amounts reported in earnings per share reflect earnings available to common stockholders for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes, U.S. government-sponsored agency securities and certain other available-for-sale securities reflected in the above table that the Company holds in its investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position at *September 30, 2025*, but the unrealized loss was *not* recognized into income because the U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States and the other issuers were high credit quality, it is *not* likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery occurs and the decline in fair value was due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair values of these securities are expected to recover as maturity dates of these securities approach.

We reviewed the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position within the guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") *326* and determined that *no* credit loss is required to be recognized.

There were no sales of securities during the *three* or *nine* months ended *September 30, 2025* and *2024.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Collateral Dependent Loans**

Management's evaluation as to the ultimate collectability of loans includes estimates regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and personal, pledged as collateral. These estimates are affected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers. Collateral dependent loans are loans in which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral and there are *no* other available and reliable sources of repayment. Loans are written down to the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. The Company had $914,000 and $3.0 million of collateral dependent loans secured by real estate or business assets as of *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively.

**NOTE *4* - LOANS RECEIVABLE** (continued)

The Company's reserve for uncollected loan interest was $1.7 million and $2.4 million at *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. When a loan is on nonaccrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal of a loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on nonaccrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported.

**NOTE *4* - LOANS RECEIVABLE** (continued)

At *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, the Company had no loan modifications that meet the definition described in ASC *326* "*Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments*" for additional reporting.

**Credit Quality Indicators**

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

**Pass.** This category includes loans that are all considered acceptable credits, ranging from investment or near investment grade, to loans made to borrowers who exhibit credit fundamentals that meet or exceed industry standards.

**Special Mention.** A "Special Mention" asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses *may* result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are *not* adversely classified and do *not* expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

**Substandard.** Loans categorized as "Substandard" continue to accrue interest, but exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that *may* jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The loans continue to accrue interest because they are well secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does *not* have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan's loss potential does *not* have to be distinct for the loan to be rated Substandard.

**Nonaccrual.** An asset classified "Nonaccrual" has all the weaknesses inherent in *one* classified 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.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk categories of loans by class of loans are as follows:

**NOTE *5* - FORECLOSED ASSETS**

Real estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for credit losses.

Assets are classified as foreclosed when physical possession of the collateral is taken regardless of whether foreclosure proceedings have taken place. Other foreclosed assets received in satisfaction of borrowers' debts are initially recorded at fair value of the asset less estimated costs to sell.

In *2021,* the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold and issued $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due *May 15, 2031 (*the "Notes"). The Company incurred $441,000 of issuance costs associated with the Notes. These issuance costs are being amortized over the 10-year life of the Notes. At *September 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, there were $226,000 and $264,000, respectively, in remaining unamortized issuance costs and they are presented in the Company's financial statements as a reduction of the principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.75%, from and including the date of issuance to *May 14, 2026,* payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including *May 15, 2026,* but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, as applicable, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined in the Notes) plus 299 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Under the conditions specified in the Notes, the interest rate accruing during the applicable floating rate period *may* be determined based on a rate other than Three-Month Term SOFR. The Notes have a stated maturity date of *May 15, 2031* and are redeemable, in whole or in part, on *May 15, 2026,* on any interest payment date thereafter, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events.

Principal and interest payments due on the Notes are subject to acceleration only in limited circumstances in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events with respect to the Company. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and generally rank junior in right of payment to the Company's current and future senior indebtedness. The Notes qualify as Tier *2* capital for regulatory capital purposes.

In *March 2025,* we repurchased $500,000 of the Notes and recorded a $42,000 gain on repurchase. In *March 2024,* we repurchased $1.0 million of the Notes and recorded a $107,000 gain on repurchase.

In *2020,* the Company established a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank. Interest is payable at a rate of Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal minus 0.50%, with a minimum rate of 2.40%. The line of credit has *not* been renewed. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at *December 31, 2024*.

**NOTE *7* - FAIR VALUE**

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. There are *three* levels of inputs that *may* be used to measure fair values:

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

• Level *2* – Significant other observable inputs other than Level *1* prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are *not* active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level *3* – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

***Securities***: The fair value for investment securities is determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level *1*). The fair values of debt securities are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level *2*).

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

**NOTE *7* - FAIR VALUE** (continued)

***Loans Individually Evaluated:*** The Company does *not* record portfolio loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is individually evaluated and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. If the collateral value is *not* sufficient, a specific reserve is recorded. Collateral values are estimated using a combination of observable inputs, including recent appraisals, and unobservable inputs based on customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of individually evaluated collateral dependent loans have

been classified as Level *3.*

***Foreclosed assets:*** Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated *no* less frequently than annually. These appraisals *may* utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Foreclosed assets are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets that were accounted for at fair value and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

<sup>(*1*)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Not* within the scope of ASC *606*

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC *606* follows:

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

***Interchange income:*** The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange income is included in deposit service charges and fees. Interchange income was $301,000 and $308,000 for the *three* months ended *September 30, 2025* and *2024*, respectively. Interchange income was $895,000 and $934,000 for the *nine* months ended *September 30, 2025* and *2024*, respectively.

***Trust and insurance commissions and annuities income:*** The Company earns trust, insurance commissions and annuities income from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at month-end. Fees that are transaction-based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed, *i.e*., the trade date. Other related services provided include fees the Company earns, which are based on a fixed fee schedule and are recognized when the services are rendered.

***Gains/losses on sales of foreclosed assets and other assets:*** The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of foreclosed assets and other assets when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of foreclosed assets to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the foreclosed asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. Other foreclosed assets sales for the *nine* months ended *September 30, 2025* and *2024* were *not* financed by the Company. The Company financed the sale of a multi-family residential OREO property in *June 2025.* The loan was at market value and *no* gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information**

**Forward Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other periodic and current reports, press releases and other public stockholder communications of BankFinancial Corporation may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, expenses, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "continue," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "anticipate," "preliminary," "project," "plan," or similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date made. They are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize, and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. We intend all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for the purpose of invoking these safe harbor provisions.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or future prospects include, but are not limited to: (i) the impact of re-pricing and competitors' pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (ii) interest rate movements and their impact on the economy, customer behavior, the market value of securities and our net interest margin; (iii) changes in U.S. Government or State government budgets, appropriations or funding allocation policies or practices affecting our credit exposures to U.S. Government or State governments, agencies or related entities, or borrowers' dependent on the receipt of Federal or State appropriations, including but not limited to, defense, healthcare, transportation, education and law enforcement programs; (iv) less than anticipated loan and lease growth; (v) for any significant credit exposure, borrower-specific adverse developments with respect to the adequacy of cash flows, liquidity or collateral; (vi) the inherent credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs; (vii) adverse economic conditions in general, or specific events such as a pandemic or national or international war, act of conflict or terrorism, and in the markets in which we lend that could result in increased delinquencies in our loan portfolio or a decline in the value of our investment securities and the collateral for our loans; (viii) declines in real estate values that adversely impact the value of our loan collateral, other real estate owned ("OREO"), asset dispositions and the level of borrower equity in their investments; (ix) results of supervisory monitoring or examinations by regulatory authorities, including the possibility that a regulatory authority could, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for credit losses or adversely change our loan classifications, write-down assets, reduce credit concentrations or maintain specific capital levels; (x) changes, disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (xi) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (xii) factors affecting our ability to retain or access deposits or cost-effective funding, including changes in public confidence, withdrawals of deposits not insured by the FDIC or the availability of other borrowing sources for any reason; (xiii) legislative or regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xiv) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xv) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xvi) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (xvii) the effects of any federal government shutdown or failure to enact legislation related to the maximum permitted amount of U.S. Government debt obligations; (xviii) privacy and cybersecurity risks, including the risks of business interruption and the compromise of confidential customer information resulting from intrusions; (xix) the effects of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies and any retaliatory responses; and (xx) the effects of the current federal government shutdown.

These risks and uncertainties, together with the Risk Factors and other information set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as well as Part II, Items 1A of our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings we make with the SEC, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operations depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC.

**Overview**

On August 11, 2025, the Company and First Financial Bancorp. ("First Financial"), the parent company of First Financial Bank, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, BankFinancial would merge with and into First Financial, with First Financial continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, First Financial will cause BankFinancial NA to merge with and into First Financial Bank (the "Bank Merger"), with First Financial Bank continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of First Financial and BankFinancial. The closing of the Merger remains subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and approval of BankFinancial's stockholders.

We reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.19 per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total assets of $1.455 billion, total loans of $759.8 million, total deposits of $1.242 billion and stockholders' equity of $157.4 million.

In the third quarter of 2025, net interest income increased by $375,000 due primarily to an increase in average securities of $100.7 million, or 24.8%, as well as a 16 basis point increase in the tax-equivalent yield on average securities. Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis increased to 3.45%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 23

------

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

Noninterest income decreased by $256,000 due to decreases in trust department income and a $417,000 bank-owned life insurance death benefit recorded in the second quarter. In the third quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded interest income of $228,000 related to the $1.4 million Employee Retention Tax Credit ("ERTC") received from the government.

Noninterest expense decreased by $1.1 million due to receipt of a $1.4 million Employee Retention Tax Credit ("ERTC") recorded in the third quarter. This was partially offset by a $405,000 increase in professional fees, primarily related to the proposed Merger.

*Cash & Cash-Equivalent Assets*

Cash and cash-equivalent assets represented 6% of total assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

*Investment Securities Portfolio*

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total investment securities and investments in certificates of deposit increased by $92.1 million. The investment securities portfolio had a weighted-average 0.2 year term to maturity as of September 30, 2025, with an after-tax unrealized gain of $73,000.

*Loan Portfolio*

Our loan portfolio declined by $36.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to scheduled repayments within all portfolios, partially offset by modest loan originations of multi-family residential loans and corporate equipment lease transactions.

*Asset Quality*

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 0.79% at September 30, 2025, inclusive of one U.S. Government equipment finance transaction with a gross exposure of $8.4 million as of September 30, 2025. Excluding the U.S. Government equipment finance transaction, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets would have been 0.21%. Nonperforming asset resolution activity continued during the third quarter of 2025, including the sale of two foreclosed assets, with additional write-downs of $528,000.

With respect to the remaining U.S. Government equipment finance exposure of $8.4 million, in May, 2025 we received a response and settlement offer for our Contract Disputes Act claim filed in August, 2024. We deemed the settlement offer inadequate based on the merits of the claim. Accordingly, in September, 2025, we submitted a complaint to be filed in the Court of Federal Claims to the prime contractor for its review. Pursuant to ASC 310, we recorded a $2.1 million specific reserve in the second quarter of 2025 to reflect the expected time and costs for the litigation process.

Our allowance for credit losses increased to 1.15% of total loans as of September 30, 2025, compared to 0.85% at December 31, 2024.

*Deposit Portfolio*

Total deposits increased by $26.4 million due to increases in the balances of noninterest-bearing commercial deposit balances, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts, and certificate of deposit accounts. The cost of total retail and commercial deposits increased to 1.87% during the third quarter of 2025 from 1.84% at June 30, 2025. Core deposits represented 79% of total deposits, with noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts representing 19% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025. Total commercial deposits were 22% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025, compared to 20% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025. FDIC-insured deposits were 83% of total deposits and collateralized public funds deposits represented 1% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025.

*Capital Adequacy*

The Company's capital position remained strong, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.70% at September 30, 2025. The book value of the Company's common shares increased to $12.63 at September 30, 2025 compared to $12.52 at June 30, 2025.

**Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024**

Total assets increased $19.7 million, or 1.4%, to $1.455 billion at September 30, 2025, from $1.435 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in securities, partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing time deposits we hold in other financial institutions and loans receivable. Securities increased $177.0 million to $537.5 million at September 30, 2025, while interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions decreased 65.3% to $11.8million and loans receivable decreased $127.8 million to $759.8 million.

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of investment and business loans (multi-family residential real estate, nonresidential real estate, and commercial loans and leases), which together totaled 98.1% of gross loans at September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, commercial loans and leases decreased by $79.3 million, or 31.9%, and multi-family residential real estate loans decreased by $35.9 million, or 6.9%. The decrease in commercial loans and leases was primarily due to decreases in government and corporate leases of $30.9 million and $18.7 million, respectively, due to scheduled payments and payoffs. The decrease in multi-family residential real estate loans was due to $42.5 million of payments and payoffs in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Our primary lending area for regulatory purposes consists of the counties in the State of Illinois where our branch offices are located, and contiguous counties. We currently derive the most significant portion of our revenues from these geographic areas. We also engage in multi-family residential real estate lending activities in carefully selected metropolitan areas outside our primary lending area, and we engage in certain types of commercial lending and commercial equipment finance activities on a nationwide basis. At September 30, 2025, $291.5 million, or 60.1%, of our multi-family residential real estate loans were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Chicago, Illinois; $63.6 million, or 13.1%, were in Texas; $64.7 million, or 13.3%, were in Florida; and $30.0 million, or 6.2%, were in North Carolina. This information reflects the location of the collateral for the loan and does not necessarily reflect the location of the borrowers. At September 30, 2025, our concentrations within the nonresidential real estate portfolio were retail neighborhood shopping malls of $46.1 million, or 46.7%; community office buildings of $13.1 million, or 13.3%; mixed use buildings of $13.0 million, or 13.1%; and industrial buildings of $5.8 million, or 5.9%.

Total liabilities increased $18.7 million, or 1.5%, to $1.297 billion at September 30, 2025, from $1.278 billion at December 31, 2024, due to an increase in total deposits, partially offset by $10.0 million of maturing borrowings and a $500,000 repurchase of our Notes. Total deposits increased $24.5 million, or 2.0%, to $1.242 billion at September 30, 2025, from $1.218 billion at December 31, 2024. Retail certificates of deposit increased $26.9 million, or 11.4%, to $261.9 million at September 30, 2025, from $235.0 million at December 31, 2024, interest-bearing NOW accounts increased $1.4 million, or 0.5%, to $278.4 million at September 30, 2025, from $277.1 million at December 31, 2024, and money market accounts also increased $635,000, or 0.2%, to $306.2 million at September 30, 2025, from $305.5 million at December 31, 2024. These increases were offset by decreases recorded in savings accounts of $2.9 million, or 1.8%, to $158.2 million at September 30, 2025, from $161.1 million at December 31, 2024 and noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $1.4 million, or 0.6% to $237.4 million at September 30, 2025, from $238.8 million at December 31, 2024, Core deposits (which consists of savings, money market, noninterest-bearing demand and NOW accounts) represented 78.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2025 and 80.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2024.

Total stockholders' equity was $157.4 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $156.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in total stockholders' equity was primarily due to net income of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and a $635,000 change, net of tax, of accumulated other comprehensive income on our securities portfolio, partially offset by our declaration and payment of cash dividends totaling $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024**

***Net Income.*** Net income was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock was $0.19 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock of $0.16 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

***Net Interest Income**.* Net interest income of $11.6 million remained stable for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Total average interest-earning assets increased $29.8 million, or 2.2%, to $1.390 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.360 billion for the same period in 2024. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 17 basis points to 4.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 4.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased ten basis points to 1.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 2.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $15.8 million, or 1.5%, to $1.036 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.020 billion for the same period in 2024. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities is partially attributable to a $26.2 million increase in average deposits. Our net interest rate spread decreased by seven basis points to 2.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 2.90% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. Our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased two basis points to 3.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 3.47% for the same period in 2024.

**Average Balance Sheets**

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and expenses and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense; however, the Company believes that the effect of these inclusions is not material. The net interest margin is reported on a tax equivalent basis ("TEB"). A tax equivalent adjustment is added to reflect interest earned on certain securities that are exempt from federal and state income tax.

**Allowance and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses**

The ACL is a significant estimate in our unaudited consolidated financial statements, affecting both earnings and capital. The ACL is recorded in accordance with US GAAP to provide an adequate reserve for expected credit losses that is reflective of management's best estimate of what is expected to be collected. The methodology adopted influences, and is influenced by, the Bank's overall credit risk management processes. All estimates of credit losses should be based on careful consideration of all significant factors affecting the collectability as of the evaluation date. The ACL is established through the provision for credit loss expense charged to income.

The recovery for credit losses – loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $210,000 compared to a provision of credit losses – loans of $472,000 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for, or recovery of, credit losses – loans varies based on, among other things, forecasted unemployment rates, loan growth, net charge-offs, collateral values associated with collateral dependent loans and qualitative factors.

There was no specific reserve established for loans individually evaluated for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Net charge-offs were $92,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $715,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 76.74% at September 30, 2025, compared to 79.65% at June 30, 2025.

Noninterest income increased $221,000, or 14.9%, to $1.7 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2024, due in part to increases in deposit service charges and fees and other noninterest income. Deposit services charges and fees increased $85,000, or 9.3%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $915,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded interest income of $228,000 related to the $1.4 million Employee Retention Tax Credit ("ERTC") received from the U.S. government.

Noninterest expense increased $694,000, or 6.9%, to $10.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased office occupancy and equipment, advertising expenses, professional fees and other expenses, partially offset by decreases in expenses for compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $1.1 million, or 19.3%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5.4 million in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the receipt of $1.4 million ERTC. Professional fees increased $876,000, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $299,000 for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increases in legal and consulting fees of $893,000 related to the proposed Merger. Other expenses increased by $363,000, or 28.2%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.3 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a $528,000 write-down of foreclosed assets recorded in the third quarter, offset by a decrease in nonperforming loan expenses of $205,000.

**Income Taxes**

We recorded income tax expense of $471,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $581,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our combined state and federal effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 16.6%, compared to 22.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The tax rates are the result of a favorable impact of the state tax benefit of interest earned on U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes and U.S. government-sponsored agency securities.

**Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024**

***Net Income.*** Net income was $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.33 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.47 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

***Net Interest Income**.* Net interest income was $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $2.4 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in interest income.

The decrease in interest income was due in substantial part to decreases in weighted average interest-earning assets and the yield on interest-earning assets. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $21.0 million, or 1.5%, to $1.370 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.391 billion for the same period in 2024. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 18 basis points to 4.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 4.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased three basis points to 1.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 1.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $6.7 million, or 0.6%, to $1.027 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.034 billion for the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest-bearing liabilities is partially attributable to a $9.2 million decrease in average borrowings as FHLB advances mature. Our net interest rate spread decreased by 15 basis points to 2.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 3.03% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a significant decrease in total average interest-earning assets. Our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 12 basis points to 3.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 3.58% for the same period in 2024.

**Allowance and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses**

The ACL is a significant estimate in our unaudited consolidated financial statements, affecting both earnings and capital. The ACL is recorded in accordance with US GAAP to provide an adequate reserve for expected credit losses that is reflective of management's best estimate of what is expected to be collected. The methodology adopted influences, and is influenced by, the Bank's overall credit risk management processes. All estimates of credit losses should be based on careful consideration of all significant factors affecting the collectability as of the evaluation date. The ACL is established through the provision for credit loss expense charged to income.

The provision for credit losses – loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.8 million, inclusive of a $2.1 million specific reserve established for a $8.4 million U.S. Government equipment finance transaction compared to a provision for credit losses – loans of $435,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for, or recovery of, credit losses – loans varies based on, among other things, forecasted unemployment rates, loan growth, net charge-offs, collateral values associated with collateral dependent loans and qualitative factors.

There was a $2.1 million specific reserve established for loans individually evaluated at September 30, 2025, compared to no reserves established at December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs were $547,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $881,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $2.1 million specific reserve related to our discounted cash flow valuation of our remaining $8.4 million U.S. Government equipment finance exposure, inclusive of the expected time for litigation and costs related to the litigation process.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 76.74% at September 30, 2025, compared to 44.71% at December 31, 2024.

Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 25.5%, to $5.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2024, due in part to increases in deposit service charges and fees, earnings on bank-owned life insurance, a bank-owned life insurance death benefit and other noninterest income. Deposit services charges and fees increased $298,000, or 11.6%, to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded income from a death benefit on a bank-owned life insurance policy in the amount of $417,000 as a result of the death of a former Bank officer. In March 2025, we repurchased $500,000 of our Notes and recorded a $42,000 gain on repurchase, compared to a $1.0 million repurchase of our Notes in the first quarter of 2024 at a gain of $107,000. In 2025, the Bank recorded interest income of $242,000 related to the $1.5 million ERTC received from the U.S. government.

Noninterest expense increased $553,000, or 1.7%, to $33.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $33.0 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increases in professional fees, and other expenses, partially offset by decreases in expenses for compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $1.8 million, or 10.2%, to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $17.4 million in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the receipt of $1.5 million in ERTC funds received in May and September of 2025. Professional fees increased $1.2 million, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.1 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increases in audit, legal, and consulting fees of $1.3 million related to the proposed Merger. Other expenses increased by $761,000, or 18.5%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $4.1 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to $1.2 million write-downs of foreclosed assets recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Income Taxes**

We recorded income tax expense of $386,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our combined state and federal effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 8.6%, compared to 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The tax rates are the result of a favorable impact of the state tax benefit of interest earned on U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes and U.S. government-sponsored agency securities.

**Criticized and Classified Assets**

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants. The following table sets forth the criticized and classified loans:

**Nonperforming Loans and Assets**

We review loans on a regular basis and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six consecutive months of contractual payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At September 30, 2025, we have three loans in this category.

The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets:

**Nonperforming Assets**

Nonperforming assets decreased $652,000 during the third quarter, to $11.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $12.2 million at June 30, 2025, and compared to $18.3 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the other foreclosed assets write-downs and sales of $696,000 in the third quarter of 2025. The Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.79% as of September 30, 2025 compared to 0.85% as of June 30, 2025, and compared to 1.28% as of December 31, 2024.

On January 3, 2025, the U.S. Government offered to settle a $10.5 million U.S. Government Contract Disputes Act claim submitted in February 2024. Following negotiations with the U.S. Government during the month of January 2025, we agreed to settle the claim for $5.6 million in cash. The $5.6 million payment was received in the second quarter of 2025.

With respect to the remaining U.S. Government equipment finance exposure of $8.4 million, we submitted a claim pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act to the prime contractor for certification and submission to the U.S. Government. On May 29, 2025, we received a response from the U.S. Government on the claim, including a settlement offer, which we deemed inadequate based on the merits of the claim. Accordingly, in September, 2025, we submitted a complaint to be filed in the Court of Federal Claims to the prime contractor for its review. Pursuant to ASC 310, we recorded a $2.1 million specific reserve associated with this claim in the second quarter of 2025 reflecting our discounted cash flow valuation of the claim, inclusive of the expected time for litigation and the costs related to the litigation process.

A multi-family residential real estate exposure with a total recorded investment of $1.1 million was transferred to OREO in the second quarter of 2025 and then immediately thereafter sold. Machinery and commercial vehicles with recorded balances of $91,000 were transferred to foreclosed assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Liquidity.*** The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, the sales of loans and securities and lease payments. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit and maturing certificates of deposit that are not renewed or extended. We generally remain fully invested and utilize FHLB advances as an additional source of funds. We had $10.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2025 and $20.0 million at December 31, 2024.

The Company is a separate legal entity from BankFinancial, NA. The Company must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its stockholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company is subject to regulatory limitations. The Company completed the issuance of $20.0 million of subordinated notes in 2021, at a rate of 3.75% maturing on May 15, 2031. In March 2025, the Company repurchased $500,000 of these subordinated notes and recorded a gain of $42,000 and in March 2024, the Company repurchased $1.0 million of these subordinated notes and recorded a gain of $107,000. At September 30, 2025, the Company (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $8.4 million. In 2020, the Company obtained a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank to provide a secondary source of liquidity. Interest was payable at a rate of Prime rate minus 0.50%. The line of credit was not renewed in 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. As of September 30, 2025, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

***Capital Management - Bank.*** The overall objectives of our capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain sufficient capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. We seek to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulation, involve the quantitative measurement of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. The failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in regulatory actions. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.

The federal banking agencies have developed a "Community Bank Leverage Ratio" (the ratio of a bank's tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A "qualifying community bank" that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered "well capitalized" under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution's risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%. Beginning January 1, 2022, banking organizations that had a leverage ratio of 9% or greater and met certain other criteria could elect to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition, and opt-out of this new definition, at any time. As a qualifying community bank, we elected to be subject to this definition beginning in the second quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank's Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 11.36%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

The Company and the Bank have each adopted Regulatory Capital Policies that target a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 7.5% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.5% at the Bank. The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Regulatory Capital Policies will be increased and other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary. In accordance with the Regulatory Capital Policies, the Bank will not pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the targeted minimum capital levels or the capital levels required for capital adequacy plus the capital conservation buffer ("CCB"). The minimum CCB is 2.5%. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank was well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank's prompt corrective action capitalization category.

The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval, and to regulatory notification requirements for dividends that do not require prior regulatory approval.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank were:

***Quarterly Cash Dividends.*** The Company declared cash dividends of $0.30 per share for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK**

***Qualitative Analysis.*** A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts (*i.e.,* forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and "yield curve risk" arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors then reviews the ALCO's activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.

We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family residential real estate loans, and commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, and usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.

We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank's exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value ("NPV") over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.

Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.

Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.

***Quantitative Analysis.*** The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2025, the estimated changes in the Bank's NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The table set forth above indicates that at September 30, 2025, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 5.28% decrease in NPV and a $4.8 million decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 0.12% increase in NPV and a $4.0 million increase in net interest income. This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on NPV and net interest income, if any.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The NPV and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Because of the shortcomings mentioned above, management considers many additional factors such as projected changes in loan and deposit balances and various projected forward interest rate scenarios when evaluating strategies for managing interest rate risk. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
