Mineer Chief Executive Officer/President First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. Dear Shareholders, In the third quarter of 2025, First Guaranty Bank faced significant challenges but remained committed to our strategic plan focused on strengthening our financial foundation, improving asset quality, and preserving capital. A key event this quarter was the bankruptcy of an auto parts manufacturer, which impacted our commercial lease portfolio. We recorded a $47.9 million provision for credit losses, with $39.8 million tied to this single credit exposure. In addition, we recognized a non- cash goodwill impairment charge of $12.9 million. These two items were the primary drivers of our net loss of $45.0 million for the quarter. Also, our allowance for credit losses increased to $85.7 million, or 3.76% of total loans, compared to 1.29% at year-end 2024. Despite these setbacks, we continued to make progress in other areas. Our risk-weighted capital ratio improved to 12.34% on September 30, 2025, up from 11.66% a year ago. This reflects our proactive approach to capital management and the strategic shift we initiated in July 2024. Operationally, we remain focused on cost containment. Noninterest expense, excluding goodwill impairment, was stable at $17.3 million, consistent with our second quarter results. Our full-time employee count declined to 339, down from 404 a year ago, as part of our ongoing efficiency initiatives. We continue to reduce concentration risk in commercial real estate, with total loans declining to $2.3 billion, down $414 million from year- end 2024. Our largest OREO property ($7.4 million land development loan) is under contract and expected to close in Q4 2025. While the third quarter results were disappointing, we believe our decisive actions position First Guaranty Bank to weather current challenges and return to profitability. We remain focused on enhancing asset quality, building capital, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.
