(38,013) $ (17,975) Increase/(decrease) in net interest income $ 39,917 $ (6,457) $ 33,460 Net Interest Income The following table discloses the components of net interest income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: For the Years Ended December 31, Change (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 $ % Interest income: Loans held for investment $ 384,944 $ 332,852 $ 52,092 15.7 % Loans held-for-sale 38,034 38,592 (558) (1.4) % Deposits with banks 28,601 54,953 (26,352) (48.0) % Interest on investment securities 61,723 71,493 (9,770) (13.7) % Interest and dividends on other earning assets 3,338 3,265 73 2.2 % Total interest income 516,640 501,155 15,485 3.1 % Interest expense: Deposits 243,403 259,779 (16,376) (6.3) % Subordinated debt, net 8,822 9,029 (207) (2.3) % Other borrowings 1,399 2,791 (1,392) (49.9) % Total interest expense 253,624 271,599 (17,975) (6.6) % Net interest income $ 263,016 $ 229,556 $ 33,460 14.6 %

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $263.0 million compared with $229.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $33.5 million, or 14.6%, primarily related to an increase in loan balances of $1.3 billion, a $13.4 million recognition of the acceleration of amortization of deferred fees related to loan sales or restructurings, and a decrease of 66 basis points in yields on deposit balances. Those increases were partially offset by lower balances of cash deposits with banks and investment securities, and an overall decrease in yields on earning assets.

Interest Income

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $516.6 million compared to $501.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $15.5 million, or 3.1%, primarily related to a net increase in loan balances and acceleration of amortization of deferred fees related to loan sales and restructurings, offset by a decrease in balances of investment securities and interest-bearing cash balances, and a decrease in yields on interest-earning assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $253.6 million compared to $271.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $18.0 million, or 6.6%, primarily related to a decrease in rates charged on deposit balances and a decrease in time deposit balances, offset by an increase in growth savings balances.

Provision for (recovery of) Credit Losses

The ACL represents an amount which we believe is adequate to absorb the lifetime expected credit losses that may be sustained on assets carried at amortized cost as of the balance sheet date. The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense charged to current earnings from an increase in the ACL. Conversely, a recovery of credit loss is recorded to earnings when the ACL is reduced. Our provisions for, or recoveries of, credit losses

arising from within the loan, unfunded loan commitments, investment securities, and financing receivables portfolios were as follows:

For the Years Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 $ Change % Change
Provision for/(recovery of) credit losses:
Provision for credit losses on loans $	23,493 $	1,348 $	22,145 1642.8	%
Recovery of credit losses on investment securities (51) (565) 514 (91.0)	%
Provision for/(recovery of) credit losses on financing receivables 34 (1) 35 N/M
Provision for/(recovery of) credit losses on unfunded commitments 535 (2,470) 3,005 N/M
Total provision for/(recovery of) credit losses $	24,011 $	(1,688) $	25,699 N/M

N/M - not meaningful

The provision for credit losses was $24.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses in 2025 reflects an increase of $10.7 million in the ACL – Loans, primarily due to loan growth and $12.8 million in net charge-offs related to consumer and commercial and industrial loans. The provision for credit losses in 2024 reflects a decrease of $32.5 million in the ACL – Loans and net charge-offs of $33.8 million primarily related to consumer and CRE loans. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses in 2024 includes a $9.3 million recovery of credit losses associated with the reclassification of forward flow loan portfolios to held-for-sale as well as other factors, including a reduction in the composition of consumer loans in the loan portfolio, improvement in portfolio credit quality, lower individually-assessed reserves, and an improved economic outlook. The provision for credit losses in 2024 includes $2.5 million of recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments which was driven by lower loss expectations on unfunded commitments.

Non-interest Income

The following table presents non-interest income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the change between periods, by major component:

For the Years Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 $ Change % Change
Investment advisory fees $	16,190 $	19,385 $	(3,195) (16.5)	%
Fee income on loans 8,367 9,031 (664) (7.4)	%
Gains/(losses) on sales of loans and investment securities, net 12,579 (11,563) 24,142 N/M
Unrealized gains on loans and financing receivables, net 6,574 3,012 3,562 118.3	%
Charge-offs on loans carried at fair value — (3,330) 3,330 (100.0)	%
Other non-interest income 27,066 6,578 20,488 311.5	%
Total non-interest income $	70,776 $	23,113 $	47,663 206.2	%

N/M - not meaningful

Total non-interest income was $70.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $47.7 million, or 206.2%, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the recognition of net gains on loan sales during 2025, compared to net losses during 2024, as well as an increase in net fees on FHA/HUD

originations and solar loan servicing and administration fees related to the solar servicing business acquired during the third quarter of 2025.

Investment advisory fees were $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 16.5%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to advisory loan pay-offs exceeding new distributions to advisory clients during 2024 and 2025, which resulted in a net reduction in total fee-generating assets held by advisory clients. In addition, the advisory fee rates charged on loans distributed in 2025 were generally lower than the advisory fee rates charged on loans distributed in earlier years, as the advisory fee amounts scale based on the interest rates of the loans being distributed and there were generally lower interest rates on the loans being distributed in 2025.

Fee income on loans was $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 7.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a reduction in non-recurring income related to the management of portfolio loans.

Gains/(losses) on sales of loans and investment securities, net increased $24.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to $11.7 million of gain on a loan extinguishment in exchange for equity during 2025, and a $9.2 million loss on the sale of forward flow loan portfolios and a $2.4 million loss related to a loan extinguishment in exchange for equity during 2024.

Unrealized gains on loans and financing receivables, net increased $3.6 million, or 118.3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the reversal of unrealized losses associated with loan sales and restructurings.

There were no charge-offs on loans carried at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.3 million of charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2024. The portfolio that incurred the charge-offs during 2024 was subsequently sold.

Other non-interest income was $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $20.5 million, or 311.5%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to solar loan servicing and administration fees related to the solar servicing business acquired during the third quarter of 2025, net fees earned on FHA/HUD originations, and a loss on OREO during 2024.
