**Shore Bancshares, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(Unaudited)**

**Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation**

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in these Notes as the "Company"), with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders' equity.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report").

**Nature of Operations**

The Company engages in the banking business through Shore United Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), a national banking association with locations in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from interest earned on commercial, residential mortgage and other loans, and fees charged in connection with lending and other banking services. The Company engages in financial service offerings through Wye Financial Partners, a division of the Bank, and offers corporate trustee services through Wye Trust, a division of the Bank.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgments, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

On January 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expanded the use of the gross-up method beyond purchased credit-deteriorated ("PCD") assets to include purchased seasoned loans ("PSLs"). Under the amended guidance, a non-PCD loan (excluding credit cards) is considered seasoned if it is acquired in a business combination, or if it is purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loan. Qualifying PSLs are recorded at acquisition at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses, with no corresponding provision for credit losses recognized at acquisition, thereby eliminating the Day 1 provision for credit losses previously required for non-PCD acquired loans. The early adoption of this guidance did not result in a material impact on the Bank's/Company's (consolidated) financial statements at the time of adoption; however, it is expected to reduce income statement volatility in future periods by eliminating Day 1 provisions for credit losses on qualifying acquired loans and improving comparability in acquisition accounting.

There were 134 AFS debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, with unrealized losses totaling $7.9 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its AFS securities portfolio as of March 31, 2026, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were primarily caused by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company's mortgage-backed securities are issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.

All HTM and AFS securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity for debt securities, the Company considers the unrealized losses to be temporary. There were 134 AFS and 167 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026. There were 122 AFS and 169 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025. Net unrealized losses with respect to the AFS securities totaled $7.3 million and $6.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The maturity dates for debt securities are determined using contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from amounts presented because certain issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

The Company has securities that have been pledged as collateral for obligations to federal, state and local government agencies, and other purposes as required or permitted by law, or sold under agreements to repurchase. At March 31, 2026, the aggregate carrying value of AFS and HTM pledged securities was $71.9 million and $220.6 million, respectively. The comparable amounts for December 31, 2025 were $69.4 million and $218.6 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities that have been pledged as collateral for obligations to federal, state and local government agencies, and other purposes as required or permitted by law, or sold under agreements to repurchase at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The overall quality of the Company's loan portfolio is primarily assessed using the Company's risk-grading scale. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators are adjusted based on management's judgment during the quarterly review process.

Consumer credit cards are monitored based on a borrower's payment history. Credit card loans are classified as performing and are typically charged-off no later than 180 days or when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. As of March 31, 2026, there were five credit cards that were evaluated based on economic conditions specific to the loans or borrowers, and were downgraded to substandard and nonperforming.

Loans subject to risk rating are graded on a scale of one to ten.

Ratings 1 through 6 – Pass – Ratings 1 through 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.

Rating 7 – Special Mention – These credits have potential weaknesses due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. Special mention loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 8 – Substandard – Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adversely classified loans on the Bank's watchlist. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category, the Company may estimate a specific reserve in the credit loss allowance analysis and/or place the loan on nonaccrual. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are nonperforming bankruptcies. Substandard loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 9 – Doubtful – Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of substandard assets, with the exception that the Company has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable. The amount of loss is not discernible due to factors such as merger, acquisition, or liquidation; a capital injection; a pledge of additional collateral; the sale of assets; or alternative refinancing plans. Credits receiving a doubtful classification are required to be on nonaccrual. Doubtful loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 10 – Loss – Loss assets are uncollectible or of little value.

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

Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reduction, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, term extensions and other combinations of actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

As of March 31, 2026, of the loans with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the preceding 12 months, $5.3 million and $164 thousand were classified as current accrual and current nonaccrual, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, of the loans with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the preceding 12 months, $5.3 million and $170 thousand were classified as current accrual and current nonaccrual, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no defaults on loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the preceding 12 months.

***<u>Foreclosure Proceedings</u>***

The Company had $124 thousand and $124 thousand of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company had $151 thousand and $95 thousand of commercial real estate loans collateralized by commercial real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

***<u>Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") and Repossessed Assets</u>***

OREO and repossessed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer from loans to foreclosed assets, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The Company had OREO and repossessed asset balances of $69 thousand and $3.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and $113 thousand and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2025, respectively.

***<u>Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")</u>***

Mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained and the MSRs are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Subsequently, the MSRs are amortized to the income statement in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. No impairments of MSRs were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. The Company recognized net servicing income of $139 thousand and a net servicing loss of $65 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the Company was servicing $334.0 million in loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association and $101.8 million in loans for Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

The following table presents activity in MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The fair value of MSRs were determined using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 9.0% at March 31, 2026 and 9.0% to 10.0% at December 31, 2025. The valuation on MSRs was not material at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Depending on the stratification of the specific mortgage servicing right, prepayment speeds ranged from 5.88% to 8.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The associated weighted-average default rate was 0.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**Note 5 – Leases**

Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor. Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.

The Company's long-term lease agreements for branches and offices are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The following tables present information about the Company's leases as of and for the periods presented.

**Note 8 – Derivatives**

The Company maintains and accounts for derivatives, in the form of interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company recognizes gains and losses through mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

IRLCs on mortgage loans that the Company intends to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. The Company is exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan is locked in until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment, closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days, however, this period may be longer for construction to permanent loans that are originated with the intent of selling in the secondary market upon permanent financing. For these IRLCs and closed inventory in loans held for sale, the Company attempts to protect itself from changes in interest rates through the use of to be announced ("TBA") securities, which are forward contracts, as well as, to a significantly lesser degree, loan level commitments in the form of best efforts and mandatory forward contracts. These assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

**Note 10 – Regulatory Capital Requirements**

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (leverage ratio). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of March 31, 2026, the most recent notification from the Bank's primary regulator categorized the Bank, as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for PCA. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change the Bank's classification. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum CET1, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, which are outlined in the table below.

The following table presents the capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(1)Applies to the Bank only.

(2)Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage) has no capital conservation buffer defined. The PCA well-capitalized threshold is defined as 5.00%.

As of March 31, 2026, both the Company and the Bank satisfied the capital conservation buffer requirements applicable to them. The lowest capital buffer ratio at the Company was the Tier 1 Capital to RWA, which was 5.60% above the minimum capital conservation buffer ratio requirement, and the lowest capital buffer ratio at the Bank was the Total Capital to RWA, which was 5.43% above the minimum capital conservation buffer ratio requirement.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common stockholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company's primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the OCC, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank could pay dividends to the Company to the extent of its current period earnings plus the earnings of the preceding two years, so long as it maintained required capital ratios.

**Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements**

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

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, along with other mortgage-related items identified in the recurring fair value table below. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral-dependent loans, repossessed assets and OREO (foreclosed assets). These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

**Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis**

<u>Available for Sale Securities</u>

Fair value measurement of AFS securities is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities as Level 2.

<u>Equity Securities</u>

Fair value measurement for equity securities is based on quoted market prices retrieved by the Company via online resources. Although these securities have readily available fair market values, the Company determined that they should be classified as Level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy due to not being considered traded in a highly active market.

<u>Loans Held for Sale</u>

Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is determined based on mark to trade for allocated/committed loans or mark to market analysis for unallocated/uncommitted loans based on third-party pricing models (Level 2).

<u>IRLCs</u>

The Company utilizes a third-party specialist model to estimate the fair value of IRLCs, which are valued based upon mortgage securities (TBA) prices less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower (Level 3).

<u>Forward Contracts</u> 

To manage interest rate risk, the Company hedges the open locked/closed position with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, the Company allocates disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of business, the Company enters into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time it makes an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives, and the Company measures and reports them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a Level 2 input. The Company has elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.

Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity's residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, closed loan inventory, TBA derivative trades, and mandatory forward contracts may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advanced notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.

**Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis**

<u>Individually Evaluated Collateral-Dependent Loans</u>

Loans for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, where applicable. Management utilizes various methods to estimate fair value of the collateral including appraisals, discounted cashflow and automated valuation methods. Accordingly, collateral-dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

<u>OREO (Foreclosed Assets)</u>

Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 is determined by independent market-based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

<u>Repossessed Assets</u>

All repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the estimated fair value of the properties, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the current appraised value of an asset. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to repossessed assets to be Level 3 inputs. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

<u>Other Assets Held for Sale</u>

Other assets held for sale are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. The fair value is determined based on the appraisal value, listing price of the property or collateral provided by independent appraisers, and is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, these assets are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The following tables set forth the Company's assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 that are valued at the lower of cost or market. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

**Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company's common stock, OREO, repossessed assets, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.

The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Fair values for March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were estimated using an exit price notion.

**Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies**

In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit and other commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to make loans are generally made for a period of 90 days or less.

The following table provides information on commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company had a reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.7 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The reserve was estimated based on current expected credit losses to be experienced by the Company. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the required funding of these exposures is uncollectible. While this evaluation is completed on a regular basis, it is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation arising from banking, financial and other activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the future liability, if any, arising out of current proceedings will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, operating results or liquidity.

**Note 14 – Earnings per Common Share**

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (stock-based awards). The following table provides information relating to the calculation of earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

There were zero and 6,515 anti-dilutive unvested restricted stock and performance stock unit awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**Note 15 – Revenue Recognition**

Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities.

**Service Charges on Deposit Accounts**

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company's performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.

Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers' accounts.

**Trust and Investment Fee Income**

Trust and investment fee income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company's performance obligation is generally satisfied over time, and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers' accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives.

Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company's performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

**Interchange Income**

Interchange fees is primarily fees earned on payment card transactions processed through card networks such as Visa, Mastercard, and other debit and credit card networks. These fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction value, plus a fixed fee per transaction, and are primarily paid by acquiring banks to issuing banks. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5dfe097473394675aa98d3b1a764ccd5_16)</u> 

**Other Noninterest Income**

Other noninterest income consists of fees, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Fees and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit income, automated teller machine ("ATM") fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a third-party ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier's checks, and other services.

The Company's performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The Company's most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements and in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans is a critical accounting policy. This policy is considered critical because it relates to an accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5dfe097473394675aa98d3b1a764ccd5_16)</u> 

**Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans**

The ACL represents management's best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management's assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using a cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an ACL to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the ACL on loans and the related provision for credit losses can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.

The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management seeks to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.

The Company's management reviews the adequacy of the ACL on loans on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report for additional details concerning the determination of the ACL on loans.

**PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW**

The Company's net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $17.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, compared to $15.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company had net income of $13.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025.

**First Quarter 2026 Highlights**

**• Net Income** – Net income for the first quarter of 2026 increased $1.2 million to a record $17.1 million from $15.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Net income increased primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $2.4 million and a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $2.7 million, partially offset by lower noninterest income of $1.7 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.6 million. The lower noninterest income was due to a one-time receipt of insurance proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2025.

• **Return on Average Assets ("ROAA")** – The Company reported ROAA of 1.12% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.02% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 0.91% for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted ROAA – non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")<sup>(1)</sup>, which excludes amortization of other intangible assets (net of tax), was 1.22% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.11% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 1.02% for the first quarter of 2025.

**• Net Interest Margin ("NIM")** – Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 increased $2.4 million to $52.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. NIM increased 21 basis points ("bps") to 3.64% during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. NIM excluding accretion<sup>(1)</sup> increased for the comparable periods from 3.24% to 3.35%. Excluding accretion interest, loan yields decreased 1 bp and funding costs decreased 13 bps for the comparable periods. Net interest income increased due to accelerated accretion due to loan payoffs coupled with a lower cost of deposits and lower long-term borrowing expenses. These favorable changes were partially offset by lower yields on interest-bearing deposits with other institutions.

**• Book Value per Share –** Book value per share increased to $18.02 at March 31, 2026 from $17.65 at December 31, 2025 and $16.55 at March 31, 2025.

**• Asset Quality** – Nonperforming assets were 1.10% of total assets at March 31, 2026, an increase from 0.69% at December 31, 2025 and 0.31% at March 31, 2025. Classified assets were 1.38% of total assets at March 31, 2026, an increase when compared to 0.96% at December 31, 2025 and 0.36% at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $58.5 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $58.8 million at December 31, 2025 and $58.0 million at March 31, 2025. The ACL as a percentage of loans increased to 1.21% at March 31, 2026 compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2025 and remained flat compared to March 31, 2025.

**• Operating Leverage** – The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2026 was 61.97%, compared to 60.06% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 63.64% for the first quarter of 2025. The adjusted efficiency ratio – non-GAAP<sup>(1)</sup>, which excludes amortization of intangibles, was 58.57% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 56.59% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 59.25% for the first quarter of 2025. Management anticipates ongoing expense management of professional services and technology investments will result in continued improvements in operating leverage over time.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025**

**Summary of Financial Results**

The Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $17.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, compared to $13.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Net Interest Income**

Taxable-equivalent NII is NII adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. As shown in the table below, taxable-equivalent NII was $52.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $46.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $3.8 million, an increase in interest and fees on loans of $3.3 million and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $391 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in interest on deposits with other banks of $951 thousand.

Fluctuations in NII can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The Company's NIM increased to 3.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's interest-earning asset yields increased to 5.44% from 5.32%, while the cost of funds repriced at a faster pace, which resulted in a decrease of 30 bps, to 1.90% from 2.20%, for the same periods.

**Provision for Credit Losses ("PCL") and ACL**

Refer to the discussion of the Bank's PCL and ACL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

**Noninterest Income**

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $7.2 million, an increase of $110 thousand from $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in trust and investment fee income of $314 thousand, an increase in mortgage banking revenue of $210 thousand driven by increased mortgage servicing activity, and a $121 thousand increase in interchange credits. These favorable changes were partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $617 thousand due to the absence of one-time bank-owned life insurance income recorded in the first quarter of 2025.

**Noninterest Expense**

Noninterest expense of $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $3.3 million when compared to the $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5dfe097473394675aa98d3b1a764ccd5_16)</u> 

$3.2 million and higher software and data processing costs of $449 thousand, partially offset by the decrease in the amortization of other intangible assets of $298 thousand.

**Income Taxes**

The Company reported income tax expense of $5.6 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 24.58% and 24.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION**

**Balance Sheet Summary**

Total assets were $6.21 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $52.8 million, or 0.8%, when compared to $6.26 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our loan portfolio of $52.3 million and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $14.7 million, which were partially offset by an increase in our investment securities portfolio of $22.5 million. The ratio of the ACL as a percentage of loans was 1.21% and 1.20% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $340.8 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $355.6 million at December 31, 2025. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and wholesale funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by seasonal run-off of the municipal deposits.

**Investment Securities**

The investment portfolio includes debt and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as either AFS or HTM. AFS investment securities are stated at estimated fair value based on market prices. They represent securities which may be sold as part of the asset/liability management strategy or in response to changing interest rates. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on these securities are reported net of related income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. Investment securities in the HTM category are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and the ACL. We have the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. At March 31, 2026, 40.15% of the portfolio of debt securities was classified as AFS and 59.85% was classified as HTM, compared to 34.69% and 65.31%, respectively, at December 31, 2025. See Note 2 – "Investment Securities" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the composition of the investment portfolio.

Investment securities, including restricted stock and equity securities, totaled $681.8 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $22.5 million, or 3.4%, compared to $659.4 million at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, AFS securities, carried at fair value, totaled $264.0 million compared to $220.4 million at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, AFS securities consisted of 87.37% mortgage-backed securities, 7.71% U.S. government agency securities and 4.92% corporate bonds, compared to 88.50%, 9.36% and 2.14%, respectively, at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the gross unrealized losses on AFS securities were all related to changes in interest rates and were $7.9 million, or less than 1% of total assets and 2% of total stockholders' equity. At March 31, 2026, the AOCI loss was $5.3 million, compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, HTM securities, carried at amortized cost, totaled $393.6 million, compared to $414.8 million at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, HTM securities consisted of 74.74% mortgage-backed securities, 23.49% U.S. government agency securities and 1.77% other debt securities, compared to 73.06%, 25.26% and 1.68%, respectively, at December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 96.98% and 98.18%, respectively, of the Bank's carrying value of its investment portfolio consisted of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored agencies.

*Credit Quality Information*

The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody's and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of the agencies, with the remainder being subordinated debt securities of other banks.

**Loans Held for Sale**

The Company originates residential mortgage loans for sale on the secondary market, which are recorded at fair value. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of loans held for sale amounted to $24.0 million and $32.5 million, respectively. The Bank makes certain representations to purchasers in the sale of mortgage loans related to loan ownership, loan compliance and legality, and accurate documentation. If a loan is found to be out of compliance with any of the representations subsequent to the date of purchase, the Bank may be required to repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank repurchased no loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Bank repurchased one loan with an aggregate value of $415 thousand.

**CRE Loan Portfolio**

The Company's loan portfolio has a CRE loan concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and CRE loans. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential CRE concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution's total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution's total risk-based capital and the institution's non-owner occupied CRE loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential CRE concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their CRE portfolios and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. Non-owner occupied CRE loans, including construction loans, totaled $2.14 billion and $2.15 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and as a percentage of the Bank's Tier 1 Capital plus ACL were 332.94% and 342.55%, respectively.

Management has extensive experience in CRE lending and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to the Bank's CRE portfolio. Monitoring practices are part of the Bank's credit and risk departments' annual test plans and are adjusted as needed on a quarterly basis if external or internal conditions merit changes. The Bank's CRE monitoring plans include stress testing analysis to evaluate changes in collateral values and changes in cash flow debt service coverage ratios as a result of increasing interest rates or declines in customer net operating revenues. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our CRE concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, either of which may adversely affect shareholder returns.

There were 17 office CRE loans with balances greater than $5.0 million, totaling $164.8 million at March 31, 2026, compared to 17 loans totaling $166.1 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in this portfolio segment was the result of normal amortization.

Of the office CRE loans, $28.7 million were classified as special mention or substandard at March 31, 2026. There were no charge-offs within the office CRE portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**Asset Quality**

**ACL and Provision for Credit Losses**

The ACL as a percentage of loans increased to 1.21% at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company's ACL decreased $355 thousand, to $58.5 million from $58.8 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the general allowance was primarily due to loan payoffs, partially offset by unfavorable economic conditions in 2026.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $85 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to loan growth and net charge-offs, which amounted to $847 thousand, or 0.02% of average loans, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $554 thousand, or 0.01% of average loans, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in charge-offs in 2026 was primarily due to the marine and CRE portfolio. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.07% and 0.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming loans to enable the Company to maintain overall credit quality.

The following table allocates the ACL by loan portfolio category as of the dates indicated. The allocation of the ACL to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the ACL to absorb losses in any category.

---

Total deposits decreased $72.2 million, to $5.46 billion at March 31, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025. The decrease in total deposits was primarily due to a decrease in interest-bearing checking deposits of $39.7 million, a decrease in noninterest-bearing accounts of $20.5 million and a decrease in money market and savings accounts of $19.3 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $7.3 million. The decrease was due to seasonal municipal deposit run offs.

Total estimated uninsured deposits were $933.0 million, or 17.1% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026 and $937.2 million, or 16.9% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026 there were $147.0 million included in uninsured deposits that the Bank secured using the market value of pledged collateral. The Bank's uninsured deposits at March 31, 2026, excluding the market value of pledged collateral, were $786.0 million, or 14.4%, of total deposits.

The Bank is required to monitor large deposit relationships and concentration risks in accordance with regulatory guidance. This includes monitoring deposit concentrations and maintaining fund management policies and strategies that take into account potentially volatile concentrations and significant deposits that mature simultaneously. Regulatory guidance defines a large depositor as a customer or entity that owns or controls 2% or more of the Bank's total deposits. At March 31, 2026, the Bank had two local municipal customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $334.9 million, which represented 6.10% of total deposits of $5.49 billion. At December 31, 2025, there were three customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $539.0 million, which represented 9.70% of total deposits of $5.56 billion. Deposit balances related to the cannabis business were $154.4 million and $159.4 million, or 2.83% and 2.88% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

**Wholesale Funding – Short-Term Borrowings**

The Company borrows from the FHLB on a short-term basis to meet liquidity needs. There were no short-term borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company's wholesale funding, which includes FHLB advances and brokered deposits, was $11.0 million and $10.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $11.0 million of brokered deposits and no FHLB advances or securities sold under agreements to repurchase or overnight borrowings from correspondent banks. At December 31, 2025, the Company had $10.9 million of brokered deposits and no FHLB advances or securities sold under agreements to repurchase or overnight borrowings from correspondent banks.

**Long-Term Debt**

The Company occasionally borrows from the FHLB to meet longer-term liquidity needs, specifically to fund loan growth when liquidity from deposit growth is not sufficient. The Company had no long-term borrowings with the FHLB as of March 31, 2026.

In November 2025, the Company issued $60 million in subordinated debt maturing in 2035, carrying a fixed interest rate of 6.25% through November 2030. The proceeds were used to fully redeem two existing subordinated debt issuances totaling $44.5 million.

As a result of the merger with Severn Bancorp, Inc., effective October 31, 2021, the Company assumed liability for Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due in 2035, which had an outstanding principal balance of $20.6 million. The debt balances of $19.0 million at March 31, 2026 and $19.0 million at December 31, 2025 were presented net of fair value adjustments of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Total stockholders' equity increased $12.8 million, or 2.2%, to $602.7 million at March 31, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to $17.1 million of net income, partially offset by dividends declared of $4.0 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $677 thousand.

**LIQUIDITY**

Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations, resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers, are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.

Shore Bancshares' principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent upon the Bank's operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank's lending and investment activities.

Based on management's going concern evaluation, management believes that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.

The Bank's principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank's principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.

Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core deposits and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.

The Company derives liquidity through increased customer deposits, cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net decrease of $70.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to a $51.7 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits and a $20.5 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits.

To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term funds markets. At March 31, 2026, the Bank had approximately $1.43 billion of available liquidity, including $340.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $328.0 million in unpledged securities, $14.7 million in secured borrowing capacity with the FRB and $777.6 million in secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta, partially offset by a letter of credit of $33.7 million. In addition, the Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks whereby it has $376.3 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available to meet any short-term needs that may not otherwise be funded by the Bank's portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. Through the FHLB, the Bank had available lendable collateral of approximately $777.6 million and $788.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank has pledged investment securities with the FRB under the FRB Discount Window program.

**CAPITAL RESOURCES**

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 12.50%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Bank was deemed "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2026.

The Company evaluates capital resources by the ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios. The Company and the Bank annually update its strategic plan, which includes a three-year capital plan. In developing its plan, the Company considers the impact to capital of asset growth, loan concentrations, income accretion, dividends, holding company liquidity, investment in markets and people and stress testing.

As of March 31, 2026, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank was classified as "well-capitalized" for purposes of the PCA regulations. The following tables present the applicable capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

Statements included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliation schedules that immediately follow.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the accompanying financial statement tables, contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. This financial information includes certain performance measures, which exclude intangible assets. These non-GAAP measures are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

**Return on Average Common Equity ("ROACE")**

ROACE is a financial ratio that measures the profitability of a company in relation to the average stockholders' equity. This financial metric is expressed in the form of a percentage which is equal to net income divided by the average stockholders' equity for a specific period of time.

**Return on Average Tangible Common Equity ("ROATCE")**

ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally-developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

**Adjusted Efficiency Ratio – Non-GAAP**

Adjusted efficiency ratio – non-GAAP is computed by dividing (i) noninterest expense less amortization of other intangible assets and credit card fraud losses by (ii) the sum of taxable-equivalent NII and noninterest income less the sale and the fair value of held for sale assets, as applicable. Adjusted efficiency ratio – non-GAAP may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

**Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

The Company's primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation, and management has procedures in place to evaluate and mitigate this risk. This risk and these procedures are discussed in Part II, Item 7A of the 2025 Annual Report under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." Management recognizes that recent changes in interest rates have had an impact on the Company's market risk. The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks remain unchanged, and we continue to monitor actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 2025.

The Company prepares a current base case and several alternative simulations at least quarterly. Current interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, 300 and 400 bps. In addition, the Company simulates additional rate curve scenarios. The Company may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment.

The Company's internal limits for parallel shock scenarios are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Shock in bps** | **Net Interest Income**  | **Economic Value of Equity**  |
| +/- 400 | - 25% | - 40% |
| +/- 300 | - 20% | - 30% |
| +/- 200 | - 15% | - 20% |
| +/- 100 | - 10% | - 10% |

---

It is management's goal to manage the Bank's portfolios so that NII at risk over 12 and 24-month periods and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not exceed any Board-approved limits for the percentage changes in NII or economic value of equity.

Measures of NII at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution's short-term performance in alternative rate environments.

The following schedule estimates the changes in NII over a 12-month period for parallel rate shocks for up 400, 300, 200 and 100 bps, and down 100, 200 and 300 bps scenarios.

---

| | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Change in Interest Rates:** | **+ 400 bps** | **+ 300 bps** | **+ 200 bps** | **+ 100 bps** | **- 100 bps** | **- 200 bps** | **- 300 bps** |
| **Policy limit** | **- 25%** | **- 20%** | **- 15%** | **-10%** | **- 10%** | **- 15%** | **- 20%** |
| **March 31, 2026** | **(11.8)%** | **(8.8)%** | **(5.8)%** | **(2.9)%** | **3.2%** | **5.1%** | **5.6%** |
| December 31, 2025 | (10.1)% | (7.5)% | (5.0)% | (2.5)% | 1.8% | 1.8% | 0.9% |

---

Measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of the Company by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of the Company's cash flows, and by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities.

The following schedule estimates the changes in the economic value of equity over a 12-month period for parallel shocks for up 400, 300, 200 and 100 bps, and down 100, 200 and 300 bps scenarios.

---

| | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Change in Interest Rates:** | **+ 400 bps** | **+ 300 bps** | **+ 200 bps** | **+ 100 bps** | **- 100 bps** | **- 200 bps** | **- 300 bps** |
| **Policy limit** | **- 40%** | **- 30%** | **- 20%** | **- 10%** | **- 10%** | **- 20%** | **- 30%** |
| **March 31, 2026** | **(15.5)%** | **(10.7)%** | **(6.6)%** | **(2.8)%** | **1.9%** | **0.3%** | **(3.3)%** |
| December 31, 2025 | (18.9)% | (13.3)% | (8.4)% | (3.8)% | 2.5% | 1.9% | 0.9% |

---

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. As of January 1, 2026, the Company adopted a new vendor and updated the model and related assumptions used to calculate NII and economic value of equity. The new model is more reflective of current economic conditions. Accordingly, the economic value of equity as of December 31, 2025 has been restated to conform to the new model and assumptions.
