**PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION** 

**REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS** 

**Bedminster, N.J. – April 22, 2026 –** Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (**NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC**) (the "Company") announces its first quarter 2026 financial results.

***This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Q1 2026 Investor Update, a copy of which is available on our website at*** www.peapackprivate.com ***and via a Current Report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.*** 

The Company's results reflect continued execution of its private banking strategy and strategic expansion throughout the Metropolitan New York region. Investments in talent, geographic expansion, and client relationships continue to strengthen the Company's deposit franchise, enhance its balance sheet, and support durable long-term earnings growth.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO stated, "Our first quarter results reflect continued momentum and sustainability in delivering enhanced shareholder value. Core earnings increased for a sixth consecutive quarter, with net income reaching $14.2 million, up 16% over the previous quarter and 86% over the first quarter of 2025."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported net income of $14.2 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Mr. Kennedy added, "This performance continues to be driven by steady growth in both loans and deposits. Total loans increased by 12% over the last twelve months to $6.4 billion, while deposits grew 9% to $6.8 billion during the same period reflecting the strength of our client-focused approach and consistent execution across business lines."

During the first quarter the Company also announced a commitment by Strategic Value Bank Partners to purchase up to $50 million of preferred stock. Strategic Value Bank Partners is a well-known, long-term investor primarily focused on the banking sector. The commitment included an initial $30 million private placement of the preferred stock which closed during March 2026 with the ability to issue an additional $20 million through the end of 2027.

Mr. Kennedy noted, "We are very pleased to partner with Strategic Value Bank Partners whose long-term orientation aligns well with our current strategic initiatives. This capital raise provides the flexibility needed to continue to execute on our growth and expansion plan while maintaining capital levels consistent with our long-standing targets. More importantly, it reflects our disciplined approach to capital management with the ultimate goal of delivering top tier returns and value to our entire shareholder base."

**Earnings and Operating Leverage**

The Company had strong revenue growth of 28% year-over-year, with total revenue of $82.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $78.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $64.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. Revenue growth has been primarily attributable to the consistent improvement in net interest income over the last twelve months. The increase in revenue growth translated into higher earnings driving positive operating leverage and improved profitability.

Operating expenses increased at a more moderate pace increasing to $55.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $53.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $49.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase during the first quarter was primarily driven by increased health insurance costs and annual merit increases.

**Net Interest Income and Margin**

Net interest income totaled $59.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $3.4 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $14.4 million, or 32%, from the first quarter of 2025. Net interest margin expanded to 3.26% compared to 3.08% in the prior quarter and 2.68% in the prior-year period continuing the upward trend over the past several quarters. This improvement in net interest income and net interest margin was driven primarily by an increase in interest-earning assets coupled with lower costs on average interest-bearing liabilities and continued growth in core deposit relationships. This momentum reflects discipline in our loan pricing and continued improvement in our funding mix.

**Loans / Commercial Banking** 

Total loans increased $184.1 million, or 12% annualized, to $6.4 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $6.3 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily driven by commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial loan originations during the quarter. Commercial mortgage activity was bolstered by sponsor demand for stabilized assets

------

and refinancing activity. C&I growth was driven by business expansion and capital investment. Total C&I loans and leases at March 31, 2026 were $2.8 billion, or 43% of the total loan portfolio.

Mr. Kennedy noted, "Loan growth during the quarter was driven by our core C&I franchise, including equipment finance, where we continue to see strong demand from well-capitalized middle-market clients. We are scaling our C&I platform while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and reducing reliance on higher-risk segments, which we believe positions the loan portfolio for durable, risk-adjusted growth. Our Commercial Real Estate lending team also contributed to the growth in the period focusing on clients that bring a complete relationship to Peapack Private."

**Wealth Management**

John Babcock, President of the Bank's Wealth Management Division, stated, "Our Wealth Management business delivered another quarter of solid performance, with wealth management fee income totaling $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 driven by continued client inflows of $227 million, along with disciplined cost management and operating efficiency. We ended the quarter with assets under management and administration remaining stable at $13.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to prior quarter end, despite the market volatility late in the quarter."

**Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management**

Total deposits increased $237.8 million, or 14% annualized, to $6.8 billion at March 31, 2026, from $6.6 billion at December 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $115.8 million, which represented 49% of the deposit growth during the quarter and a meaningful portion of total funding, supporting both margin expansion and balance sheet stability.

The Company's liquidity profile remains strong with a loan-to-deposit ratio of 94%. At March 31, 2026, the Company's balance sheet liquidity totaled $991 million, or 13% of total assets. The Company maintains additional liquidity resources of approximately $4.0 billion through secured available borrowing facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve are secured by the Company's loan and investment portfolios. The Company's total on and off-balance sheet liquidity totaled $5.0 billion at March 31, 2026, which amounted to 240% of the total uninsured/uncollateralized deposits currently on the Company's balance sheet. The Company continues to maintain a well-balanced funding base with a high level of operating deposits and no reliance on brokered funding.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company used its strong liquidity to reposition a portion of the securities portfolio, exiting lower-yielding, longer-duration assets without impacting earnings, and redeploying them into higher-yielding bonds with better structure.

**Asset Quality / Provision for Credit Losses**

Asset quality continued to improve with nonperforming assets declining for the third consecutive quarter. In the first quarter of 2026, nonperforming assets decreased to $59.3 million, or 0.77% of total assets, compared to $68.2 million, or 0.91% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The decrease in nonperforming assets during the first quarter of 2026 was largely driven by the liquidation of one commercial loan with a balance of $9.6 million. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing increased to $47.1 million, or 0.73% of total loans, at March 31, 2026 compared to $26.6 million, or 0.42% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The increase in past due loans at March 31, 2026 was primarily due to one multifamily relationship with an outstanding balance of $36.2 million.

Mr. Kennedy noted, "Overall credit trends remain favorable and we continue to manage the portfolio proactively and conservatively. We have committed to work through asset quality issues in a deliberate manner with an ultimate goal of preserving capital and maintaining appropriate reserve coverage."

The provision for credit losses totaled $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $4.5 million for the March 31, 2025 quarter. The first quarter provision was attributable to loan growth of $184.1 million resulting in a provision of $1.3 million, in addition to changes in specific reserves which required a provision of $6.0 million.

------

At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $67.0 million (1.04% of total loans), compared to $71.0 million (1.14% of total loans) at December 31, 2025. Charge-offs of $11.3 million during the period were associated with the sale of one multifamily loan with a balance totaling $8.3 million and the liquidation of one commercial loan with a balance of $9.6 million. Specific reserves of $5.8 million, related to these charge-offs, had been established in prior periods.

**Capital**

The Company's capital position was strengthened during the first quarter of 2026. The Company redeemed $100.0 million of subordinated debt in the first quarter of 2026, which had become less efficient from a capital standpoint, and replaced a portion of it with the issuance of preferred equity. The Company successfully completed a private placement of $30.0 million of 6.00% Series B Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in March. The preferred equity enhances the quality of our capital base while maintaining an attractive overall cost and improving financial flexibility.

Tangible book value per share increased 14% to $37.02 per share at March 31, 2026 from $32.56 at March 31, 2025. See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation included in these tables. Book value per share increased 13% to $39.48 per share at March 31, 2026 compared to $35.08 at March 31, 2025.

The Company's and Bank's regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2026 remain strong. The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio at March 31, 2026 was 9.02% for the Bank and 9.24% for the Company, while the Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio was 10.77% for the Bank and 10.55% for the Company. Where applicable, such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

On March 26, 2026, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on May 21, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 7, 2026.

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION**

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders' equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding at period end. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios because our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
