**BEACON FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements**

 **(1) Basis of Presentation**

***Overview***

The Company is a bank holding company (within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended) and the parent of Beacon Bank & Trust, a Massachusetts-chartered trust company. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company's primary business is to provide commercial, business and retail banking services to its corporate, municipal and retail customers through the Bank and its non-bank subsidiaries. The Company is also the parent of Clarendon Private. Clarendon Private is a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Through Clarendon Private and the Trust and Investments Division of the Bank, the Company offers a wide range of wealth management services to individuals, families, endowments and foundations to help these clients meet their long-term financial goals.

Beacon Bank & Trust operates 144 full-service banking offices in New England and New York with three additional lending offices. The Bank's activities include acceptance of commercial, municipal and retail deposits, origination of mortgage loans on commercial and residential real estate located principally in New England and New York, origination of commercial loans and leases, investment in debt and equity securities, and the offering of cash management and wealth, trust and investment advisory services. The Company also provides specialty equipment financing through its subsidiary Eastern Funding and provides small business lending through its subsidiary 44 Business Capital, both of which operate as national business lines.

The Company and the Bank are supervised, examined and regulated by the FRB. As a Massachusetts-chartered trust company, the Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Massachusetts Division of Banks. Clarendon Private is also subject to regulation by the SEC.

The FDIC offers insurance coverage on all deposits up to $250,000 per depositor. As FDIC-insured depository institutions, the Bank is also subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the FDIC.

*Completion of Merger of Equals*

On September 1, 2025, the Company completed its merger of equals with Brookline Bancorp, Inc. ("Legacy Brookline"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2024, by and among the Company, Commerce Acquisition Sub, Inc. and Legacy Brookline (the "Merger Agreement"). On September 1, 2025, Commerce Acquisition Sub, Inc. merged with and into Legacy Brookline (the "Merger"), immediately followed by the merger of Legacy Brookline with and into the Company (the "Holdco Merger"), with the Company as the resulting corporation. The Company also changed its name from Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. to Beacon Financial Corporation and changed the New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol for its common stock from "BHLB" to "BBT."

Immediately following the Holdco Merger, Berkshire Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Bank Rhode Island, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Brookline, and PCSB Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Brookline, each merged with and into Brookline Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Brookline, with Brookline Bank as the surviving bank (the "Bank Mergers" and, together with the Merger and the Holdco Merger, the "Transaction"). In connection with the Bank Mergers, Brookline Bank changed its name to Beacon Bank & Trust.

The Transaction was treated as a business combination under ASC 805 and was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting. Therefore, Legacy Brookline was deemed the acquirer for financial reporting purposes even though Legacy Berkshire was the legal acquirer. As such, the historical financial statements of Legacy Brookline became the historical financial statements of the combined company.

***Basis of Financial Statement Presentation***

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**BEACON FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon changing conditions, including economic conditions and future events. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term include the determination of the ACL and the determination of fair market values of assets and liabilities.

The judgments used by management in applying these critical accounting policies may be affected by a further and prolonged deterioration in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results. For example, subsequent evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses in future periods, and the inability to collect outstanding principal may result in increased loan and lease losses.

***Reclassification***

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

***Segment Reporting***

An operating segment is defined as a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate performance.

The Company is a bank holding company operating through a single business segment, which derives interest income on loan and lease products the Company offers to customers. Substantially all of the Company's total revenues, pre-tax income, and assets is driven by the banking business.

The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company acts as the Company's CODM. The CODM regularly reviews comprehensive financial information with the reported measures focused on net interest income and net income. This financial information reviewed is consistent with the information presented within the Company's financial statements.

The CODM uses the reported measures of net interest income and net income to assess performance by comparing to and monitoring against budget and prior year results. This information is used to manage resources to drive business and net earnings growth, including investment in key strategic priorities, as well as determine the Company's ability to return capital to shareholders.

**(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans" ("ASU 2025-08"). This ASU aligns the initial recognition of the allowance for loan losses on purchased loans between PCD and non-PCD assets by applying the gross-up approach previously required only for PCD loans. The Company elected to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025, and applied it to the Transaction completed in the third quarter of 2025, as permitted under the guidance.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense". This ASU updates the disclosure and presentation requirements for certain expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

---

As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of all investment securities available-for-sale was $1.7 billion, with net unrealized losses of $42.7 million, compared to a fair value of $1.7 billion and net unrealized losses of $27.5 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, $1.0 billion, or 59.5% of the portfolio, had gross unrealized losses of $51.0 million, compared to $552.9 million, or 32.7% of the portfolio, with gross unrealized losses of $44.7 million as of December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not classify any securities as held to maturity; all securities were held as available-for-sale.

***Investment Securities as Collateral***

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion of investment securities were pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements; municipal deposits; treasury, tax and loan deposits; swap agreements; FRB borrowings; and FHLB borrowings. The Bank had no outstanding FRB borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

***Allowance for Credit Losses-Available-for-Sale Securities***

For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether (i) the Company intends to sell the security, or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, any previously recognized allowances are charged-off and the security's amortized cost is written down to fair value through income. If neither criterion is met, the security is evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.

**BEACON FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an allowance for credit loss is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through the ACL is recognized in OCI. Adjustments to the allowance are reported as a component of credit loss expense. Available-for-sale securities are charged-off against the allowance or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through income when deemed uncollectible or when either of the aforementioned criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Company has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities from the estimate of credit losses. Accrued interest receivables associated with debt securities available-for-sale totaled $8.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2025.

A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a debt security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. There were no debt securities on nonaccrual status and therefore there was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

***Assessment for Available for Sale Securities for Impairment***

Investment securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months or twelve months or longer are as follows:

The Company performs regular analyses of the investment securities available-for-sale portfolio to determine whether a decline in fair value indicates that an investment security is impaired. In making these impairment determinations, management considers, among other factors, projected future cash flows; credit subordination and the creditworthiness; capital adequacy and near-term prospects of the issuers.

Management also considers the Company's capital adequacy, interest-rate risk, liquidity and business plans in assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will sell or be required to sell the investment securities before recovery. If the Company determines that a security investment is impaired and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not sell or be required to sell the investment security before recovery of its amortized cost, the credit portion of the impairment loss is recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of income and the noncredit portion is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The credit portion of the impairment represents the difference between the amortized cost and the present value of the expected future cash flows of the investment security. If the Company determines that a security is impaired and it is more likely than not that it will sell or be required to sell the investment security before recovery of its amortized cost, the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the security will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of income.

***Investment Securities Available-For-Sale Impairment Analysis***

The following discussion summarizes, by investment security type, the basis for evaluating if the applicable investment securities within the Company's available-for-sale portfolio were impaired as of March 31, 2026. The Company has determined it is more likely than not that the Company will not sell or be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of its amortized cost. The Company's ability and intent to hold these investment securities until recovery is supported by the Company's strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover. If market conditions for investment securities worsen or the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers deteriorates, it is possible that the Company may recognize additional impairment in future periods.

In the following discussion, purchase activity excludes the impact of the Transaction.

*U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises*

The Company invests in securities issued by GSEs, including GSE debentures, MBSs, and CMOs.

Actual maturities of debt securities will differ from those presented above since certain obligations amortize and may also provide the issuer the right to call or prepay the obligation prior to scheduled maturity without penalty. MBSs and CMOs are included above based on their final stated maturities; the actual maturities, however, may occur earlier due to anticipated prepayments and stated amortization of cash flows.

As of March 31, 2026, issuers of debt securities with an estimated fair value of $951.5 million had the right to call or prepay the obligations. Of the $951.5 million, approximately $103.9 million matures in less then 1 year, $386.8 million matures in 1-5 years, $201.2 million matures in 6-10 years, and $259.6 million matures after ten years. As of December 31, 2025, issuers of debt securities with an estimated fair value of approximately $965.2 million had the right to call or prepay the obligations. Of the $965.2 million, approximately $12.4 million matures in less then 1 year, $111.4 million matures in 1-5 years, $157.1 million matures in 6-10 years, and $684.3 million matures after ten years.

***Security Sales***

***Allowance for Credit Losses Methodology***

Management has established a methodology to determine the adequacy of the ACL that assesses the risks and losses expected on the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded commitments. Additions to the ACL are made by charges to the provision for credit losses. Losses on loans and leases are charged off against the allowance when all or a portion of a loan or lease is considered uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries on loans previously charged off, if any, are credited to the allowance when realized.

For periods in 2025, the Company continued to use the two legacy banks' ACL processes to calculate the expected losses over the remaining life of the portfolio. During the first quarter of 2026, as part of the February core conversion, the ACL process was updated to have a single integrated process that applies to all loans in the Company's portfolio. The Company continues to use models developed by a third party to calculate the allowance for loans collectively evaluated. As part of reviewing the applicability of these models to the combined Beacon Bank footprint, the models were calibrated to the combined Company's footprint and peer bank loss experience.

The Bank's ACL process uses CRE, C&I, and retail lifetime loss rate models to calculate the expected losses over the life of the loan based on exposure at default, loan attributes, and reasonable, supportable economic forecasts. The exposure at default considers the current unpaid balance and expected utilization assumptions. Key assumptions used in the models include portfolio segmentation, prepayments, and the expected utilization of unfunded commitments, among others. The portfolios are segmented by loan level attributes such as loan type, loan size, date of origination, and delinquency status to create homogenous loan pools. Pool level metrics are calculated and loss rates are subsequently applied to the pools based on loans that have like characteristics. Prepayment assumptions are embedded within the models and are based on the same data used for model development.

Model development data and developmental time periods vary by model, but all use at least ten years of historical data and capture at least one recessionary period. Expected utilization is based on current utilization and a LEQ factor. LEQ varies by current utilization and provides a reasonable estimate of expected draws and borrower behavior. Assumptions and model inputs are reviewed in accordance with model monitoring practices and as new information becomes available.

The ACL estimate incorporates reasonable and supportable forecasts of various macro-economic variables over the remaining life of loans and leases. The development of the reasonable and supportable forecast assumes each macro-economic variable will revert to long-term expectations, with reversion characteristics unique to specific economic indicators and forecasts. Reversion towards long-term expectations generally begins two to three years from the forecast start date and largely completes within the first five years. Management elected to use multiple economic forecasts in determining the reserve to account for economic uncertainty. The forecasts include various projections of gross domestic product, interest rates, property

price indices, and employment measures. Scenario weighting and model parameters are updated to reflect facts and circumstances as of the financial statement date.

As of March 31, 2026, management continued to apply qualitative adjustments to the Company's models. These adjustments are designed to address model limitations and are generally targeted to specific risks within the certain portfolios or certain risk factors (e.g., office, refi-risk, and specialty vehicle) based on recent collateral valuations and performance trends. Additionally, portfolio level metrics such as delinquency, population of adversely graded loans, non-accruals, etc. are used to inform management's evaluation of the credit risk in the portfolio and adjustments are made as appropriate. These adjustments included both positive and negative adjustments with a total impact to the ACL estimate of $35.0 million at March 31, 2026. Management reviews these factors on a quarterly basis as market conditions and segment performance evolve.

Specific reserves are established for loans individually evaluated for impairment when amortized cost basis is greater than the discounted present value of expected future cash flows or, in the case of collateral-dependent loans, when there is an excess of a loan's amortized cost basis over the fair value of its underlying collateral. When loans and leases do not share risk characteristics with other financial assets they are evaluated individually. Individually evaluated loans are reviewed quarterly with adjustments made to the calculated reserve as necessary.

The general allowance for loan and lease losses was $165.6 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $173.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

The specific allowance for loan and lease losses was $78.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $79.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, management believes the methodology for calculating the allowance is sound and the allowance provides a reasonable basis for determining and reporting on expected losses over the lifetime of the Company's loan portfolios.

***Credit Quality Assessment***

At the time of loan origination, a rating is assigned based on the capacity to pay and general financial strength of the borrower, the value of assets pledged as collateral, and the evaluation of third party support such as a guarantor. The Company continually monitors the credit quality of the loan portfolio using all available information. The officer responsible for handling each loan is required to initiate changes to risk ratings when changes in facts and circumstances occur that warrant an upgrade or downgrade in a loan rating. Based on this information, loans demonstrating certain payment issues or other weaknesses may be categorized as delinquent, adversely risk-rated, nonperforming and/or put on nonaccrual status. Additionally, in the course of resolving such loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans to match the borrower's ability to repay the loan based on their current financial condition. If a restructured loan meets certain criteria, it may be categorized as a modified loan.

The Company reviews numerous credit quality indicators when assessing the risk in its loan portfolio. For all loans, the Company utilizes an eight-grade loan rating system, which assigns a risk rating to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a loan transaction. Factors considered include industry and market conditions; position within the industry; earnings trends; operating cash flow; asset/liability values; debt capacity; guarantor strength; management and controls; financial reporting; collateral; and other considerations. In addition, the Company's independent loan review group evaluates the credit quality and related risk ratings in all loan portfolios. The results of these reviews are reported to the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors on a periodic basis and annually to the Board of Directors. For the consumer loans, the Company heavily relies on payment status for calibrating credit risk.

The ratings categories used for assessing credit risk in the commercial real estate, multi-family mortgage, construction, commercial, equipment financing, condominium association and other consumer loan and lease classes are defined as follows:

*1 -4 Rating—Pass*

Loan rating grades "1" through "4" are classified as "Pass," which indicates borrowers are performing in accordance with the terms of the loan and are less likely to result in loss due to the capacity of the borrower to pay and the adequacy of the value of assets pledged as collateral.

*5 Rating—OAEM*

Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management's attention. If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Company's asset and position. While potentially weak, currently these borrowers are marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned.

*6 Rating—Substandard*

Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. Substandard loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy. Although no immediate loss of principal is envisioned, there is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Collateral coverage may be inadequate to cover the principal obligation.

*7 Rating—Doubtful*

Borrowers exhibit well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection of the debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely.

*8 Rating—Definite Loss*

Borrowers deemed incapable of repayment. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuation as active assets of the Company is not warranted.

Assets rated as "OAEM," "substandard" or "doubtful" based on criteria established under banking regulations are collectively referred to as "criticized" assets.

As of March 31, 2026, there were no loans categorized as definite loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company fully risk rated our consumer portfolio, whereby the current risk rating provides an accurate indicator of credit quality. As such we updated the above table to include risk rating for the Consumer portfolio vs FICO in prior periods. Prior periods remain unchanged.

The following tables present the recorded investment in loans in each class as of December 31, 2025, by credit quality indicator.

***Individually Evaluated Loans and Leases***

Loans and leases which do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are individually evaluated for credit losses. A loan is individually evaluated when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (both interest and principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The loans and leases risk-rated "substandard" or worse are individually evaluated. Specific reserves are established for loans and leases with deterioration in the present value of expected future cash flows or, in the case of collateral-dependent loans and leases, any increase in the loan or lease amortized cost basis over the fair value of the underlying collateral discounted for estimated selling costs. In contrast, the loans and leases which share similar risk characteristics and are not included in the individually evaluated population are collectively evaluated for credit losses.

The following tables present information regarding individually evaluated and collectively evaluated allowance for loan and lease losses for credit losses on loans and leases at the dates indicated.

**(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities**

The Company executes loan level derivative products such as interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers to aid them in managing their interest rate risk. The interest rate swap contracts allow the commercial banking customers to convert floating rate loan payments to fixed rate loan payments. The Company concurrently enters into offsetting swaps with a third party financial institution, effectively minimizing its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The third party financial institution exchanges the customer's fixed rate loan payments for floating rate loan payments. As the interest rate swap agreements associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value are recognized directly in earnings. Based on the Company's intended use for the loan level derivatives at inception, the Company designates the derivative as either an economic hedge of an asset or liability, or a hedging instrument subject to the hedge accounting provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging".

The Company believes using interest rate derivatives adds stability to interest income and expense and allows the Company to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company enters into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. The Company enters into interest rate swaps as hedging instruments against the interest rate risk associated with the Company's FHLB borrowings and loan portfolio. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gains or losses is reported as a component of OCI, and is reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The following table reflects the Company's derivative positions as of the date indicated below for interest rate derivatives which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company utilizes risk participation agreements with other banks participating in commercial loan arrangements. Participating banks guarantee the performance on borrower-related interest rate swap contracts. Risk participation agreements are derivative financial instruments and are recorded at fair value. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recorded directly through earnings in other non-interest income at each reporting period. Under a risk participation-out agreement, a derivative asset, the Company participates out a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position executed with the commercial borrower, for a fee paid to the participating bank.

The Company offers foreign exchange contracts to commercial borrowers to accommodate their business needs. These foreign exchange contracts do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. To mitigate the market and liquidity risk associated with these foreign exchange contracts, the Company enters into similar offsetting positions.

Asset derivatives and liability derivatives are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present the Company's customer related derivative positions for the periods indicated below for those derivatives not designated as hedging.

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain credit-risk-related contingent provisions. These provisions provide the counterparty with the right to terminate its derivative positions and require the Company to settle its obligations under the agreements if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness or if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution.

---

The guidance in ASU 2017-12 requires that amounts in accumulated OCI that are included in the assessment of effectiveness should be reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings. A portion of the balance reported in accumulated OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company's interest rate swaps. The Company monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.

**(9) Stock Based Compensation**

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had one active equity plan: the 2025 Plan. The 2025 Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at the May 2025 special meeting of stockholders of Beacon Financial Corporation, formally known as Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc., in anticipation of the pending Transaction. The 2021 Plan was discontinued on August 31, 2025 as a result of the finalization of the Transaction. No further shares will be granted as awards under the 2021 Plan and all previously outstanding and invested awards under the 2021 Plan vested as a result of the finalization of the Transaction.

All of the shares that have been awarded under the 2025 Plan are time-based shares awarded to employees vest ratably over two years with one-half of such shares vesting on the first and second anniversary dates of the awards.

If a participant leaves the Company prior to the anniversary date of an award, any unvested shares are forfeited. Dividends declared with respect to shares awarded will be held by the Company and paid to the participant only when the shares vest.

Under the 2025 Plan, shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance as restricted stock awards to officers, employees, and non-employee directors of the Company. Shares issued upon vesting may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury shares. Any shares not issued because vesting requirements are not met will be retired back to treasury and be made available again for issuance under the Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, no shares were issued, respectively, upon satisfaction of required conditions of the Plan.

Total expense for the Plans was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

*Investment Securities Available-for-Sale and Equity Securities*

The fair value of investment securities is based principally on market prices and dealer quotes received from third-party and nationally-recognized pricing services for identical investment securities such as U.S. Treasury and agency securities. These prices are validated by comparing the primary pricing source with an alternative pricing source when available. When quoted market prices for identical securities are unavailable, the Company uses market prices provided by independent pricing services based on recent trading activity and other observable information, including but not limited to market interest-rate curves, referenced credit spreads and estimated prepayment speeds, where applicable. These investments include GSE debentures, GSE mortgage-related securities, SBA commercial loan asset backed securities, corporate debt securities, municipal obligations and U.S. Treasury bonds, all of which are included in Level 2. As of March 31, 2026, certain corporate debt securities and municipal obligations were valued using pricing models included in Level 3.

Additionally, management reviews changes in fair value from period to period and performs testing to ensure that prices received from the third parties are consistent with management's expectation of the market. Changes in the prices obtained from the pricing service are analyzed from month to month, taking into consideration changes in market conditions including changes in mortgage spreads, changes in U.S. Treasury security yields and changes in generic pricing of 15-year and 30-year securities. Additional analysis may include a review of prices provided by other independent parties, a yield analysis, a review of average life changes using Bloomberg analytics and a review of historical pricing for a particular security.

*Derivatives and Hedging Instruments*

The fair value of interest rate derivatives designated as hedging instruments, loan level derivatives, risk participation agreements (RPA in/out), and foreign exchange contracts represent a Level 2 valuation and are based on settlement values adjusted for credit risks associated with the counterparties and the Company and observable market interest rate curves and foreign exchange rates where applicable. Credit risk adjustments consider factors such as the likelihood of default by the

*Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans and Leases*

For nonperforming loans and leases where the credit quality of the borrower has deteriorated significantly, fair values of the underlying collateral were estimated using purchase and sales agreements (Level 2), or comparable sales or recent appraisals (Level 3), adjusted for selling costs and other expenses.

*Repossessed Assets*

Repossessed assets are carried at estimated fair value less costs to sell based on auction pricing (Level 2).

The table below presents quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at the dates indicated.

| Other real estate owned |  |  | Appraisal of collateral <sup>(1)</sup> |

---

________________________________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral. The Company may also use another available source of collateral assessment to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the collateral. Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of the unobservable inputs used may vary but is generally 0% - 10% on the discount for costs to sell and 0% - 15% on appraisal adjustments.

***Summary of Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments***

The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial instruments at the dates indicated. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial assets for which the fair value approximates carrying value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted equity securities, and accrued interest receivable. Financial liabilities for which the fair value approximates carrying value include non-maturity deposits, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

*Loans and Leases*

The fair values of performing loans and leases was estimated by segregating the portfolio into its primary loan and lease categories — commercial real estate mortgage, multi-family mortgage, construction, commercial, equipment financing, condominium association, residential mortgage, home equity and other consumer. These categories were further disaggregated based upon significant financial characteristics such as type of interest rate (fixed / variable) and payment status (current / past-due). Using the exit price valuation method, the Company discounts the contractual cash flows for each loan category using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar quality and incorporates estimates of future loan prepayments.

*Deposits*

The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (demand, NOW, savings and money market savings accounts) are equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit represents contractual cash flows discounted using interest rates currently offered on deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. The fair value estimates for deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the Company's core deposit relationships (deposit-based intangibles).

*Borrowed Funds*

The fair value of federal funds purchased is equal to the amount borrowed. The fair value of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements represents contractual repayments discounted using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. The fair values reported for retail repurchase agreements are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. The fair values reported for subordinated deferrable interest debentures are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on instruments with similar terms and maturities.

**(12) Commitments and Contingencies**

***Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments***

The Company is party to off-balance sheet financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit, and loan level derivatives. According to GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements until they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.

The contract amounts reflect the extent of the involvement the Company has in particular classes of these instruments. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is represented by the fair value of the instruments. The Company uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at the dates indicated follow:

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 the payment of a fee by the customer. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.

**Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. These standby and commercial letters of credit are primarily issued to support the financing needs of the Company's commercial customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

From time to time, the Company enters into loan level derivatives, risk participation agreements or foreign exchange contracts with commercial customers and third-party financial institutions. These derivatives allow the Company to offer long-term fixed-rate commercial loans while mitigating the interest-rate or foreign exchange risk of holding those loans. In a loan level derivative transaction, the Company lends to a commercial customer on a floating-rate basis and then enters into a loan level derivative with that customer. Concurrently, the Company enters into offsetting swaps with a third-party financial institution, effectively minimizing its net interest-rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The fair value of these derivatives are presented in Note 8.

***Lease Commitments***

The Company leases certain office space under various noncancellable operating leases as well as other assets. These leases have terms ranging from 1 year to over 18 years. Certain leases contain renewal options and escalation clauses which can increase rental expenses based principally on the consumer price index and fair market rental value provisions. All of the Company's current outstanding leases are classified as operating leases.

The Company considered the following criteria when determining whether a contract contains a lease, the existence of an identifiable asset and the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period. The Company uses the FHLB classic advance rates available as of the lease's start dates as the discount rate to determine the net present value of the remaining lease payments.

**(13) Tax Equity Investments**

The Company typically accounts for tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, if certain criteria are met. The election to account for tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method is done so on a tax credit program-by-tax credit program basis. Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment, which is inclusive of any delayed equity contributions, that are unconditional and legally binding or for equity contributions that are contingent on a future event, when that event becomes probable, in proportion to the income tax credits that are allocated to the Company over the period of the investment.

Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment, inclusive of delayed equity contributions, in proportion to the income tax credits that are allocated to the Company over the period of the investment. The net benefits of these investments, which are comprised of income tax credits and operating loss income tax benefits, net of investment amortization, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the carrying value of all tax equity investments was $66.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively, and were included in other assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying value of the investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method ("PAM") on March 31, 2026 included $12.5 million of delayed equity contributions described in the chart below.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's delayed equity contributions were estimated to be paid as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Year Ending December 31, | **Delayed Equity Contributions** |
|  | **(In Thousands)** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2026 | $7759 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2027 | 4277 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2028 | 245 |
| Thereafter | 237 |
| Total delayed equity contributions | $12518 |

**Introduction**

Beacon Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is the holding company for Beacon Bank & Trust and its subsidiaries and Clarendon Private.

The Company offers a wide range of commercial, business and retail banking services, including a full complement of cash management products, foreign exchange services, on-line and mobile banking services, consumer and residential loans and investment advisory services. Clarendon Private is a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Through Clarendon Private, the Company offers a wide range of wealth management services to individuals, families, endowments and foundations to help these clients meet their long-term financial goals.

As a full-service financial institution with 144 banking offices throughout New England and New York, the Bank and its subsidiaries focus their efforts on developing and deepening long-term banking relationships with qualified customers through a full complement of products, excellent customer service, and strong risk management.

The competition for loans and leases and deposits remains strong, with growth and pricing influenced by the Federal Reserve's interest rate-setting actions. Management's scenario analysis of deposit sensitivity to the current competitive rate environment suggests further deposit mix migration and increased sensitivity to interest rates.

As the interest rate environment resets to a more normal, upward-sloping yield curve with shorter-term interest rates lower than longer term interest rates, management expects the net interest margin to increase modestly. This is due to deposit and wholesale funding costs repricing at lower rates, while loans do not reprice at the same magnitude, as well as the accretions from the purchase accounting marks. If both short- and long-term interest rates fall, net interest income models, using a projected flat balance sheet with stable deposit balances, forecast that a parallel decrease in rates will have a negative impact on

the Company's net interest income, net interest spread, and net interest margin. While the Company's current deposit sensitivity rate is approximately 40%, shifting to a more asset sensitive balance sheet could have additional pressure on interest margins.

As discussed above, changes in interest rates could also precipitate a change in the mix and volume of the Company's deposits and loans. The future operating results of the Company will depend on its ability to maintain or increase the current net interest income, manage credit risk, increase sources of non-interest income, while managing non-interest expenses.

The Company and the Bank are supervised, examined and regulated by the FRB. As a Massachusetts-chartered trust company, Beacon Bank & Trust is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Massachusetts Division of Banks. The FDIC insures the Bank's deposits up to $250,000 per depositor.

The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BBT."

**Executive Overview**

***Balance Sheet***

Total assets decreased $1.0 billion, or 17.1% on an annualized basis, to $22.2 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $23.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in cash balances due to timing fluctuations in customer payroll deposits. Cash, cash equivalents and available for sale investment securities decreased $0.9 billion, or 96.4% on an annualized basis, to $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. This decreased the Company's on balance sheet liquidity from 16.1% of total assets as of December 31, 2025 to 12.7% of total assets as of March 31, 2026.

Total loans and leases decreased $105.4 million, or 2.3% on an annualized basis, to $17.9 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $18.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. The Company's commercial loan portfolios, which are composed of commercial real estate loans and commercial loans and leases, represented 77.9% of total loans and leases as of March 31, 2026 and represented 77.4% of total loans and leases as of December 31, 2025.

Total investment securities increased $29.9 million, or 7.1% on an annualized basis, to $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2025.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.9 billion, or 182.0% on an annualized basis, to $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the fluctuation within payroll deposits.

Total deposits decreased $1.2 billion, or 25.1% on an annualized basis, to $18.3 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $19.5 billion as of December 31, 2025, consisting of a $276.0 million decrease in customer deposits, a $664.9 million decrease in payroll deposits, and a $281.5 million decrease in brokered deposits. The decline in customer deposits was driven largely by seasonal first quarter factors such as tax payments, with additional movement concentrated in a small number of rate-sensitive, higher-cost accounts. Core consumer and relationship-based deposits remain stable. Core deposits, which include demand checking, NOW, non-payroll money market and savings accounts, totaled $12.9 billion, or 70.3% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.2 billion from $13.1 billion, or 67.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. Payroll deposits totaled $1.2 billion, or 6.6% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $664.9 million, or 141.6% on an annualized basis, from $1.9 billion, or 9.6% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025. Certificate of deposit balances totaled $4.1 billion, or 22.3% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 6.8% on an annualized basis, from $4.2 billion, or 21.3% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025. Brokered deposits totaled $128.8 million, or 0.7% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $281.5 million, or 274.4% on an annualized basis, from $410.4 million, or 2.1% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025.

Total borrowed funds increased $284.1 million, or 144.2% on an annualized basis, to $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2025.

***Asset Quality***

Nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2026 totaled $151.2 million, or 0.68% of total assets, compared to $116.7 million, or 0.50% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $13.6 million, or 0.30% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to $7.6 million, or 0.31% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.36% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 1.40% as of December 31, 2025.

The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans and leases was 164.44% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 221.49% as of December 31, 2025.

***Capital Strength***

The Company is a "well-capitalized" bank holding company as defined in the FRB's Regulation Y. The Company's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.24% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 10.95% as of December 31, 2025. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.59% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 9.25% as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.40%, compared to 11.12% as of December 31, 2025. The Company's Total risk-based capital ratio was 13.27% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 13.01% as of December 31, 2025.

The Company's ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.27% and 10.75% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company's ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 9.07% and 8.62% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

***Net Income***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported a net income of $46.2 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $27.1 million, or 142.0%, from net income of $19.1 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase in net income is primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $104.9 million and an increase in non-interest income of $18.3 million, partially offset by an increase of $80.8 million in non-interest expense, an increase in the provision for income taxes of $13.4 million, and an increase in provision for credit losses on loans of $1.9 million. Refer to "*Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP"* for operating earnings measures. Refer to*"Results of Operations"* below for further discussion.

The annualized return on average assets was 0.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 0.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The annualized return on average stockholders' equity was 7.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The net interest margin was 3.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from 3.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the net interest margin was a result of a decrease of 61 basis points in the Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of 3 basis points to 5.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company's net interest margin and net interest income are sensitive to the structure and level of interest rates as well as competitive pricing in all loan and deposit categories.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those involving significant judgments and difficult or complex assumptions by management, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain or variable, which have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or net income. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, management has identified the determination of the ACL as the Company's most critical accounting policy.

As a result of the Transaction, business combinations became a critical accounting policy.

Business combinations are generally accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value may involve the use of internal or third-party valuation specialists to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities at the acquisition date, including loans and leases, core deposit intangibles and time deposits. The excess of the cost of acquisition over these fair values is recognized as goodwill. A description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed can be found in Note 2 "Business Combinations" within the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

***Recent Accounting Developments***

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans" ("ASU 2025-08"). This ASU aligns the initial recognition of the allowance for loan losses on purchased loans between PCD and non-PCD assets by applying the gross-up approach previously required only for PCD loans. The Company elected to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025, and applied it to the Transaction completed in the third quarter of 2025, as permitted under the guidance.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ie0647e69ff3b42a592f89c6d026b6c92_10)</u>

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense". This ASU updates the disclosure and presentation requirements for certain expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP**

In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating earnings metrics, the return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible equity, the tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share, and dividend payout ratio. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense control, while the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share are used to analyze the relative strength of the Company's capital position.

The following table reconciles the Company's operating earnings, operating return on average assets and operating return on average stockholders' equity for the periods indicated:

The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of first mortgage loans secured by commercial, multi-family and residential real estate properties located in the Company's primary lending area, loans to business entities, including commercial lines of credit, loans to condominium associations and loans and leases used to finance equipment used by small businesses. The Company also provides financing for construction and development projects, home equity and other consumer loans.

The Company employs seasoned commercial lenders and retail bankers who rely on community and business contacts as well as referrals from customers, attorneys and other professionals to generate loans and deposits. Existing borrowers are also an important source of business since many of them have more than one loan outstanding with the Company. The Company's ability to originate loans depends on the strength of the economy, trends in interest rates, and levels of customer demand and market competition.

The Company's current policy is that a total credit exposure to one obligor relationship may not exceed $90.0 million unless approved by the Company's Credit Committee. As of March 31, 2026, there were zero borrowers with loans and commitments over $90.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's maximum credit exposure was $90.0 million and there was one borrower with loans and commitments over $90.0 million. The total of those loans and commitments was $94.9 million, or 0.8% of total loans and commitments, as of December 31, 2025.

The Company has written underwriting policies to control the inherent risks in loan origination. The policies address approval limits, loan-to-value ratios, appraisal requirements, debt service coverage ratios, loan concentration limits and other matters relevant to loan underwriting.

*Commercial Real Estate Loans*

The commercial real estate portfolio is composed of commercial real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, and construction loans and is the largest component of the Company's overall loan portfolio, representing 55.6% of total loans and leases outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

Typically, commercial real estate loans are larger in size and involve a greater degree of risk than owner-occupied residential mortgage loans. Loan repayment is usually dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties and the value of the properties securing the loans. Economic conditions can greatly affect cash flows and property values.

A number of factors are considered in originating commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans. The qualifications and financial condition of the borrower (including credit history), as well as the potential income generation and the value and condition of the underlying property, are evaluated. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, the Company considers the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower's experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower's payment history with the Company and other financial institutions. Factors considered in evaluating the underlying property include the net operating income of the mortgaged premises before debt service and depreciation, the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of cash flow before debt service to debt service), the use of conservative capitalization rates, and the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value. Generally, personal guarantees are obtained from commercial real estate loan borrowers.

Commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans are typically originated for terms of five to fifteen years with amortization periods of 20 to 30 years. Many of the loans are priced at inception on a fixed-rate basis generally for periods ranging from two to five years with repricing periods for longer-term loans. When possible, prepayment penalties are included in loan covenants on these loans. For commercial customers who are interested in loans with terms longer than five years, the Company offers loan level derivatives to accommodate customer need.

The Company's urban and suburban market area is characterized by a large number of apartment buildings, condominiums and office buildings. As a result, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage lending has been a significant part of the Company's activities for many years. These types of loans typically generate higher yields, but also involve greater credit risk. Many of the Company's borrowers have more than one multi-family or commercial real estate loan outstanding with the Company.

The Company's commercial real estate portfolio is composed primarily of loans secured by apartment buildings $2.8 billion), retail stores ($2.0 billion), industrial properties ($1.6 billion), office buildings ($1.2 billion), and lodging services ($556.8 million) as of March 31, 2026.

The following table presents the percentage of the Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio by borrower type that is owner and non-owner occupied as of March 31, 2026.

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate and thus has lower concentration limits than do other commercial credit classes. Risk of loss on a construction loan is largely dependent upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of construction costs, the estimated time to sell or rent the completed property at an adequate price or rate of occupancy, and market conditions. If the estimates and projections prove to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted with a project which, upon completion, has a value that is insufficient to assure full loan repayment.

Criteria applied in underwriting construction loans for which the primary source of repayment is the sale of the property are different from the criteria applied in underwriting construction loans for which the primary source of repayment is the stabilized cash flow from the completed project. For those loans where the primary source of repayment is from resale of the property, in addition to the normal credit analysis performed for other loans, the Company also analyzes project costs, the attractiveness of the property in relation to the market in which it is located and demand within the market area. For those construction loans where the source of repayment is the stabilized cash flow from the completed project, the Company analyzes not only project costs but also how long it might take to achieve satisfactory occupancy and the reasonableness of projected rental rates in relation to market rental rates.

*Commercial Loans*

The Company's commercial loan and lease portfolio is composed of commercial loans & equipment financing loans and leases, which represented 22.4% of total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

The Company's commercial loan and lease portfolio is composed primarily of loans and leases to small to medium sized businesses ($1.4 billion), retail ($434.1 million), recreation services ($362.4 million), manufacturing ($321.0 million), rental and leasing services ($220.3 million), food services ($184.9 million), and transportation services ($132.7 million) as of March 31, 2026.

The Company provides commercial banking services to companies in its market areas. Product offerings include lines of credit, term loans, letters of credit, deposit services and cash management. These types of credit facilities have as their primary source of repayment cash flows from the operations of businesses. Interest rates offered are available on a floating basis tied to the prime rate or a similar index or on a fixed-rate basis referenced on the FHLB indices.

Credit extensions are made to established businesses on the basis of loan purpose and assessment of capacity to repay as determined by an analysis of their financial statements, the nature of collateral to secure the credit extension and, in most instances, the personal guarantee of the owner of the business as well as industry and general economic conditions.

The Company's equipment financing divisions focus on market niches in which its lenders have deep experience and industry contacts, and on making loans to customers with business experience. An important part of the Company's equipment financing loan origination volume comes from equipment manufacturers, distributors, and owner-operated start-ups as well as existing customers that are expanding their operations. The equipment financing portfolio is composed primarily of loans to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ie0647e69ff3b42a592f89c6d026b6c92_10)</u>

finance vended-laundry, and to a lesser degree larger industrial laundries, tow trucks, fitness, and convenience/grocery stores. Typically, the loans are priced at a fixed rate of interest and require monthly payments over their 5- to 10-year life. The yields earned on equipment financing loans are higher than those earned on the commercial loans made by the Bank because they involve a higher degree of credit risk. Equipment financing customers are typically small-business owners who operate with limited financial resources and who face greater risks when the economy weakens or unforeseen adverse events arise. Because of these characteristics, personal guarantees of borrowers are usually obtained along with liens on available assets. The size of loan is determined by an analysis of cash flow and other characteristics pertaining to the business and the equipment to be financed, based on detailed revenue and profitability data of similar operations.

*Consumer Loans*

The consumer loan portfolio, which is composed of residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and other consumer loans, represented 22.0% of total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The Company focuses its mortgage and home equity lending on existing and new customers within its branch networks.

The Company originates adjustable- and fixed-rate residential mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences. Each residential mortgage loan granted is subject to a satisfactorily completed application, employment verification, credit history and a demonstrated ability to repay the debt. Generally, loans are not made when the loan-to-value ratio exceeds 80% unless private mortgage insurance is obtained and/or there is a financially strong guarantor. Appraisals are performed by outside independent fee appraisers.

Underwriting guidelines for home equity loans and lines of credit are similar to those for residential mortgage loans. Home equity loans and lines of credit are limited to no more than 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan including the amount of any existing first mortgage liens.

Other consumer loans have historically been a modest part of the Company's loan originations. As of March 31, 2026, other consumer loans equaled $131.0 million, or 0.7% of total loans outstanding.

**Asset Quality**

***Criticized and Classified Assets***

The Company's management rates certain loans and leases as OAEM, "substandard" or "doubtful" based on criteria established under banking regulations. These loans and leases are collectively referred to as "criticized" assets. Loans and leases rated OAEM have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects of the loan or lease at some future date. Loans and leases rated as substandard are inadequately protected by the payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans and leases have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if existing deficiencies are not corrected. Loans and leases rated as doubtful have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt and partial loss of principal is likely. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $797.6 million of total assets that were designated as criticized. This compares to $683.7 million of assets designated as criticized as of December 31, 2025. The increase of $113.9 million in criticized assets was primarily driven by downgrades in four loans in our commercial real estate portfolio.

***Nonperforming Assets***

"Nonperforming assets" consist of nonaccrual loans and leases, OREO and other repossessed assets. Under certain circumstances, the Company may restructure the terms of a loan or lease as a concession to a borrower, except for acquired loans and leases which are individually evaluated against expected performance on the date of acquisition. These restructured loans and leases are generally considered "nonperforming loans and leases" until a history of collection of at least six months on the restructured terms of the loan or lease has been established. OREO consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings and real estate acquired through acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other repossessed assets consist of assets that have been acquired through foreclosure that are not real estate and are included in other assets on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Accrual of interest on loans generally is discontinued when contractual payment of principal or interest becomes past due 90 days or, if in management's judgment, reasonable doubt exists as to the full timely collection of interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accruals cease and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current interest income. Interest payments on nonaccrual loans are generally applied to principal. If collection of the principal is reasonably assured, interest payments are recognized as income on the cash basis. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured and a consistent record of at least six months of performance has been achieved.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ie0647e69ff3b42a592f89c6d026b6c92_10)</u>

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes or reasonably expects to make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a modified loan. In determining whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers, among other factors, if the debtor is in payment default or is likely to be in payment default in the foreseeable future without the modification, the debtor declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy, there is substantial doubt that the debtor will continue as a going concern, the debtor's entity-specific projected cash flows will not be sufficient to service its debt, or the debtor cannot obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditors at market terms for debt with similar risk characteristics.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had nonperforming assets of $151.2 million, representing 0.68% of total assets, compared to nonperforming assets of $116.7 million, or 0.50% of total assets as of December 31, 2025. The increase of $34.5 million in nonperforming assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by increases in nonperforming commercial real estate and multi-family loans, partially offset by a decline in equipment financing nonperforming balances.

The Company evaluates the underlying collateral of each nonaccrual loan and lease and continues to pursue the collection of interest and principal. Management believes that the current level of nonperforming assets remains manageable relative to the size of the Company's loan and lease portfolio. If economic conditions were to worsen or if the marketplace were to experience prolonged economic stress, it is likely that the level of nonperforming assets would increase, as would the level of charged-off loans.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Past Due and Accruing***

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $5.8 million loans and leases greater than 90 days past due and accruing, compared to $37.8 million loans as of December 31, 2025.

**Allowance for Credit Losses**

The ACL consists of general and specific allowances and reflects management's estimate of expected loan and lease losses over the life of the loan or lease. Management uses a consistent and systematic process and methodology to evaluate the adequacy of the ACL on a quarterly basis. Management continuously evaluates and challenges inputs and assumptions in the ACL.

While management evaluates currently available information in establishing the ACL, future adjustments to the allowance for loan and lease losses may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. Management performs a comprehensive review of the ACL on a quarterly basis. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review a financial institution's ACL and carrying amounts of OREO. Such agencies may require the financial institution to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company's allowance methodology provides a quantification of estimated losses in the portfolio. Under the current methodology, management estimates losses over the life of the loan using reasonable and supportable forecasts. Forecasts, loan data, and model documentation are extensively analyzed and reviewed throughout the quarter to ensure estimated losses are appropriate at quarter end. Qualitative adjustments are applied to account for risk factors not captured by the model. These

------

**Investment Securities**

The investment portfolio exists primarily for liquidity purposes, and secondarily as a source of interest and dividend income, interest-rate risk management and tax planning as a counterbalance to loan and deposit flows. Investment securities are utilized as part of the Company's asset/liability management and may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, factors such as changes in market conditions and interest rates, security prepayment rates, deposit outflows, liquidity concentrations and regulatory capital requirements.

The investment policy of the Company, which is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis, specifies the types of investments that are acceptable, required investment ratings by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, concentration limits and duration guidelines. Compliance with the investment policy is monitored on a regular basis. In general, the Company seeks to maintain a high degree of liquidity and targets cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale balances between 10% and 14% of total assets.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities decreased $0.9 billion to $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities were 12.7% of total assets as of March 31, 2026, compared to 16.1% of total assets at December 31, 2025.

The fair value of investment securities is based principally on market prices and dealer quotes received from third-party, nationally-recognized pricing services for identical investment securities such as U.S. Treasury and agency securities. The Company's marketable equity securities are priced this way and are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" Topic of the FASB, or ASC 820. These prices are validated by comparing the primary pricing source with an alternative pricing source when available. When quoted market prices for identical securities are unavailable, the Company uses market prices provided by independent pricing services based on recent trading activity and other observable information, including but not limited to market interest-rate curves, referenced credit spreads and estimated prepayment speeds where applicable. These investments include certain U.S. and government agency debt securities, municipal and corporate debt securities, GSE residential MBSs and CMOs, all of which are included in Level 2. Certain fair values are estimated using pricing models and are included in Level 3.

Additionally, management reviews changes in fair value from period to period and performs testing to ensure that prices received from the third parties are consistent with their expectation of the market. Changes in the prices obtained from the pricing service are analyzed from month to month, taking into consideration changes in market conditions including changes in mortgage spreads, changes in U.S. Treasury security yields and changes in generic pricing of 15-year and 30-year securities. Additional analysis may include a review of prices provided by other independent parties, a yield analysis, a review of average life changes using Bloomberg analytics and a review of historical pricing for the particular security.

Maturities, calls and principal repayments for investment securities available-for-sale totaled $89.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $27.2 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 , the Company did not sell any investment securities available-for-sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company purchased $129.1 million of investment securities available-for-sale, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of all investment securities available-for-sale was $1.7 billion with $42.7 million of net unrealized losses, compared to a fair value of $1.7 billion and net unrealized losses of $27.5 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, $1.0 billion, or 59.5%, of the portfolio, had gross unrealized losses of $51.0 million. This compares to $552.9 million, or 32.7%, of the portfolio with gross unrealized losses of $44.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company's unrealized loss position increased in 2026 primarily driven by a increase in current market rates.

The maximum amount that the FHLB will advance to member institutions, including the Company, fluctuates from time to time in accordance with the policies of the FHLB.

FHLB borrowings increased $266.3 million to $822.1 million as of March 31, 2026 with a total capacity of $4.6 billion. As of December 31, 2025, FHLB borrowings stood at $555.8 million.

**Stockholders' Equity and Dividends**

The Company's total stockholders' equity was $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2026 representing an $8.7 million increase compared to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by net income of $46.2 million, offset by dividends paid by the Company of $27.0 million, and unrealized loss on securities available for sale of $11.3 million.

Stockholders' equity represented 11.27% of total assets as of March 31, 2026 and 10.75% of total assets as of December 31, 2025. Tangible stockholders' equity (total stockholders' equity less goodwill and identified intangible assets, net) represented 9.07% of tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and identified intangible assets, net) as of March 31, 2026 and 8.62% as of December 31, 2025.

The dividend payout ratio was 58.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 62.98% for the same period in 2025.

**Results of Operations**

The primary drivers of the Company's net income are net interest income, which is strongly affected by the net yield on and growth of interest-earning assets and liabilities, the quality of the Company's assets, its levels of non-interest income and non-interest expense, and its tax provision.

The Company's net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on its investments, loans and leases, and its cost of funds. Interest income is dependent on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the yield earned thereon. Cost of funds is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the year and the interest rates paid thereon. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Net interest spread is the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increases or decreases, as applicable, in the components of interest income and interest expense, expressed in terms of fluctuation in average volume and rate, are summarized under *"Rate/Volume Analysis"* below. Information as to the components of interest income, interest expense and average rates is provided under *"Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Interest-Rate Spread and Net Interest Margin"* below.

Because the Company's assets and liabilities are not identical in duration and in repricing dates, the differential between the two is vulnerable to changes in market interest rates as well as the overall shape of the yield curve. These vulnerabilities are inherent to the business of banking and are commonly referred to as "interest-rate risk." How interest-rate risk is measured and, once measured, how much interest-rate risk is taken on, are based on numerous assumptions and other subjective judgments. See the discussion in *"Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk"* below.

The quality of the Company's assets also influences its earnings. Loans and leases that are not paid on a timely basis and exhibit other weaknesses can result in the loss of principal and/or interest income. Additionally, the Company must make timely provisions to the allowance for loan and lease losses based on estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. These additions, which are charged against earnings, are necessarily greater when greater probable losses are expected. Further, the Company incurs expenses as a result of resolving troubled assets. These variables reflect the "credit risk" that the Company takes on in the ordinary course of business and are further discussed under *"Financial Condition—Asset Quality"* above.

***Net Interest Income***

Net interest income increased $104.9 million to $190.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $85.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase reflects a $123.6 million increase in interest income on loans and leases, along with a $15.0 million increase in interest income in investment securities, partially offset by a $33.7 million increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increases year over year are primarily a result of the Transaction. Refer to *"Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 — Interest Income"* and *"Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 — Interest Expense -Deposit and Borrowed Funds"* below for more details.

Net interest margin increased 56 basis points to 3.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's weighted average interest rate on loans increased to 5.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The yield on interest-earning assets increased to 5.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $0.6 million in prepayment penalties and late charges, which contributed 1 basis point to yields on interest-earning assets, compared to $0.6 million, or 2 basis points, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 61 basis points to 2.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to *"Financial Condition - Borrowed Funds"* above for more details.

Management aims to position the balance sheet to be neutral to changes in interest rates. With the market's expectation for no additional FRB rate cuts in 2026 and with the Treasury yield curve becoming steeper since the prior quarter end, management anticipates that the net interest margin will be stable in the near term.

If the FRB cuts rates in the coming quarters, the net interest income and the net interest margin will be highly dependent on the Company's ability and timing to reduce deposit pricing as well as the overall mix of funding.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Liquidity***

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company further defines liquidity as the ability to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers, as well as to earnings enhancement opportunities, in a changing marketplace. Liquidity management is monitored by the Company's ALCO, consisting of members of management, which is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets as well as strategies and tactics to meet these targets. The primary source of funds for the payment of dividends and expenses by the Company is dividends paid to it by the Bank. The primary sources of liquidity for the Bank consists of deposit inflows, loan repayments, borrowed funds, and maturing investment securities.

In the first quarter, the Company operated with decreased liquidity. Due to the Transaction, the Company shifted its balance sheet asset mix to include additional cash and available for sale securities. Management will continue to monitor the economic markets and evaluate changes to the Company's liquidity position.

The Company held lower levels of on balance sheet liquidity in the form of cash and available for sale securities in the first quarter. Cash and equivalents at the end of the quarter were $1.1 billion, or 5.0% of the balance sheet, compared to $2.0 billion, or 8.8% of the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2025. In general, in a normal operating environment, the Company seeks to maintain liquidity levels of cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale of between 10% and 14% of total assets. As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale totaled $2.8 billion, or 12.7% of total assets. This compares to $3.7 billion, or 16.1% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025.

Deposits, which are considered the most stable source of liquidity, totaled $18.3 billion as of March 31, 2026 and represented 94.4% of total funding (the sum of total deposits and total borrowings), compared to deposits of $19.5 billion, or 96.1% of total funding, as of December 31, 2025. Core deposits totaled $12.9 billion as of March 31, 2026 and represented 70.3% of total deposits, compared to Core deposits of $13.1 billion, or 67.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company had $128.8 million of brokered deposits as of March 31, 2026, which represented 0.7% of total deposits, compared to $410.4 million or 2.1% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. The Company offers attractive interest rates based on market conditions to increase deposits balances, while managing the cost of funds.

Borrowings are used to diversify the Company's funding mix and to support asset growth. When profitable lending and investment opportunities exist, access to borrowings provides a means to grow the balance sheet. Borrowings totaled $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, representing 5.5% of total funding, compared to $0.8 billion, or 3.9% of total funding, as of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ie0647e69ff3b42a592f89c6d026b6c92_10)</u>

December 31, 2025. The growth in the balance sheet is driven by the Transaction, management will continue to monitor economic conditions and make adjustments to the balance sheet mix as appropriate.

As members of the FHLB, the Bank has access to both short- and long-term borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's total borrowing limit from the FHLB for advances and repurchase agreements was $4.6 billion, compared to $4.6 billion as of December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Bank also has access to funding through certain uncommitted lines via AFX as well as other large financial institution specific lines. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings on outstanding uncommitted lines of credit.

The Company has access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window to supplement its liquidity. The Company had $607.2 million of borrowing capacity at the FRB as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings with the FRB.

Additionally, the Bank has access to liquidity through repurchase agreements and additional untapped brokered deposits.

While management believes the Company has adequate liquidity to meet its commitments and to fund the Bank's lending and investment activities, the availabilities of these funding sources are subject to broad economic conditions and could be restricted in the future. Such restrictions would impact the Company's immediate liquidity and/or additional liquidity needs.

***Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments***

The Company is party to off-balance-sheet financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit and interest-rate swaps. According to GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements until they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. See Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies", to the consolidated financial statements for a description of off-balance-sheet financial instruments.

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

***Market Risk***

Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of the Company's assets, liabilities, and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that the Company's net income will be significantly reduced by interest-rate changes.

***Interest-Rate Risk***

The principal market risk facing the Company is interest-rate risk, which can occur in a variety of forms, including repricing risk, yield-curve risk, basis risk, and prepayment risk. Repricing risk occurs when the change in the average yield of either interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities is more sensitive than the other to changes in market interest rates. Such a change in sensitivity could reflect a number of possible mismatches in the repricing opportunities of the Company's assets and liabilities. Yield-curve risk reflects the possibility that changes in the shape of the yield curve could have different effects on the Company's assets and liabilities. Basis risk occurs when different parts of the balance sheet are subject to varying base rates reflecting the possibility that the spread from those base rates will deviate. Prepayment risk is associated with financial instruments with an option to prepay before the stated maturity, often a disadvantage to person selling the option; this risk is most often associated with the prepayment of loans, callable investments, and callable borrowings.

***Asset/Liability Management***

Market risk and interest-rate risk management is governed by the Company's ALCO. The ALCO establishes exposure limits that define the Company's tolerance for interest-rate risk. The ALCO and the Company's Treasury Group measure and manage the composition of the balance sheet over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The ALCO monitors current exposures versus limits and reports those results to the Board of Directors. The policy limits and guidelines serve as benchmarks for measuring interest-rate risk and for providing a framework for evaluation and interest-rate risk-management decision-making. The Company measures its interest-rate risk by using an asset/liability simulation model. The model considers several factors to determine the Company's potential exposure to interest-rate risk, including measurement of repricing gaps, duration, convexity, value-at-risk, market value of portfolio equity under assumed changes in the level of interest rates, the shape of yield curves, and general market volatility.

Management controls the Company's interest-rate exposure using several strategies, which include adjusting the maturities of securities in the Company's investment portfolio, limiting or expanding the terms of loans originated, limiting fixed-rate customer deposits with terms of more than five years, and adjusting maturities of wholesale funding. The Company limits this risk by restricting the types of MBSs it invests into those with limited average life changes under certain interest-rate-shock scenarios, or securities with embedded prepayment penalties. The Company also places limits on holdings of fixed-rate mortgage loans with maturities greater than five years. The Company enters into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments.

***Measuring Interest-Rate Risk***

As noted above, interest-rate risk can be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest-rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate-sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

The Company's interest-rate risk position is measured using both income simulation and interest-rate sensitivity "gap" analysis. Income simulation is the primary tool for measuring the interest-rate risk inherent in the Company's balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income, over a twelve-month period, of a variety of interest-rate shocks. These simulations take into account repricing, maturity, and prepayment characteristics of individual products. The ALCO reviews simulation results to determine whether exposure resulting from changes in market interest rates remains within established tolerance levels over a one-year and two-year horizon, and develops appropriate strategies to manage this exposure. The Company's interest-rate risk analysis remains modestly asset-sensitive as of March 31, 2026.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ie0647e69ff3b42a592f89c6d026b6c92_10)</u>

The assumptions used in the Company's interest-rate sensitivity simulation discussed above are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulations cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates.

As of March 31, 2026, net interest income simulation indicated that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates was within tolerance. The ALCO reviews the methodology utilized for calculating interest-rate risk exposure and may periodically adopt modifications to this methodology. The following table presents the estimated impact of interest-rate changes on the Company's estimated net interest income over the twelve-month periods indicated while maintaining a flat balance sheet:

| Down 400 basis points shock | (50456) | (6.3)% | (58232) | (7.0)% |

Asset sensitivity increased at March 31, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025 as a result of funding and asset mix changes. The estimated impact of a 400 basis point instantaneous increase in market interest rates on the Company's estimated net interest income over a twelve-month horizon was 12.1% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 9.4% as of December 31, 2025. The estimated impact of a 400 basis point instantaneous decrease in market interest rates on the Company's estimated net interest income over a twelve-month horizon was (6.3)% as of March 31, 2026, compared to (7.0)% as of December 31, 2025.

The Company also utilizes interest-rate sensitivity "gap" analysis to provide a broader overview of its interest-rate risk profile. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's one-year cumulative gap was a positive $981.0 million, or 4.77% of total interest-earning assets, compared to a positive $0.5 billion, or 2.14% of total interest-earning assets, as of December 31, 2025.

The assumptions used in the Company's interest-rate sensitivity simulation discussed above are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulations cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates. For additional discussion on interest-rate risk see Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The EVE at Risk Simulation is conducted in tandem with net interest income simulations to ascertain a longer term view of the Company's interest-rate risk position by capturing longer-term repricing risk and options risk embedded in the balance sheet. It measures the sensitivity of the economic value of equity to changes in interest rates. The EVE at Risk Simulation values only the current balance sheet and does not incorporate growth assumptions. As with the net interest income simulation, this simulation captures product characteristics such as loan resets, repricing terms, maturity dates, and rate caps and floors. Key assumptions include loan prepayment speeds, deposit pricing elasticity, and non-maturity deposit attrition rates. These assumptions can have significant impacts on valuation results as the assumptions remain in effect for the entire life of each asset and liability. The Company conducts non-maturity deposit behavior studies on a periodic basis to support deposit assumptions used in the valuation process. All key assumptions are subject to a periodic review.

EVE at Risk is calculated by estimating the net present value of all future cash flows from existing assets and liabilities using current interest rates as well as parallel shocks to the current interest-rate environment. The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in the Company's EVE at Risk, assuming various shifts in interest rates.

The Company's EVE-at-risk is modestly more asset sensitive from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 driven by changes to the funding and asset mix.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Controls and Procedures**

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer considered that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a -15(f). The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to its management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed a core banking system conversion as a result of the Transaction which resulted in material changes to certain key financial reporting processes and the corresponding internal controls over financial reporting. Management has designed and implemented new controls and updated existing controls to reflect these changes.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as of December 31, 2025 and the related Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm thereon appear on pages F-1 and F-2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

## Exhibit 32.1

**Exhibit 32.1** 

**STATEMENT FURNISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT**

**OF 2002, 18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350**
