Diluted earnings per share was $0.42 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.48 for the first quarter of 2026 and $0.36 for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was $0.57 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.59 for the first quarter of 2026 and $0.53 for the second quarter of 2025. This is the first full quarter of financial results subsequent to the acquisition of Olympic Bancorp, Inc. (the "Merger") which closed on January 31, 2026. The Company recognized merger-related expenses of $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. After the systems conversion in the third quarter 2026, the Company will recognize additional cost savings. Bryan McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are pleased with the continued improvement in our net interest margin and our strong credit quality metrics. Although loan growth was muted by higher prepayments in the second quarter, we saw strong loan origination and continue to maintain a solid loan pipeline. As our fixed rate loans reprice to higher yields, we expect that our net interest margin will continue to improve. The increase in net interest margin, as well as the expected cost savings from the acquisition, provides optimism for enhanced future earnings." (1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure.

The Company sold $38.1 million of investment securities at a pre-tax loss of $217,000 during the quarter. In addition, there were investment maturities and repayments of $35.8 million and a $6.4 million increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities during the second quarter of 2026.

Loan prepayments were higher at $102.5 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $72.5 million during the first quarter of 2026. Loan payoffs were slightly higher at $49.9 million, compared to $46.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $8.2 million, or 0.8%, during the second quarter of 2026, due primarily to pay downs on outstanding balances, partially offset by new loan production of $34.5 million. Owner-occupied commercial real estate ("CRE") loans increased $14.1 million, or 1.2%, during the second quarter, due primarily to new loan production of $41.8 million, offset by pay downs on outstanding balances.

Non-maturity deposits decreased by $138.4 million, or 2.3%, from March 31, 2026 due primarily to a decline in customer balances in noninterest bearing demand accounts as is typical in the second quarter of each year due to tax payments. Noninterest demand deposits declined mostly due a single deposit relationship which had approximately $67.0 million in funds which were deposited on a short-term basis in the first quarter of 2026 and withdrawn in the second quarter of 2026. Certificates of deposit declined $71.4 million during the second quarter of 2026 due mostly to the maturity of brokered certificates of deposit of $48.5 million.

All outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2026 were with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and mature in the third quarter of 2026. **Stockholders' Equity** Total stockholders' equity decreased $6.0 million, or 0.5%, to $1.11 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.12 billion at March 31, 2026. This decrease was partially due to the repurchase of 372,343 shares of the Company's common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million, under the Company's current share repurchase plan. The following table summarizes changes in stockholders' equity for the Company for the period indicated: **Quarter Ended** **June 30,** **2026** **(In thousands)** Balance, beginning of period $ 1,115,691 Net income 17,546 Cash dividends declared on common stock (10,002) Common stock repurchased (10,112) Other comprehensive loss (5,000) Other 1,569 Balance, end of period $ 1,109,692 The Company and Bank continued to maintain capital levels in excess of the applicable regulatory requirements to be categorized as "well-capitalized" at June 30, 2026.

(2) Current quarter ratios are estimates pending completion and filing of the Company's regulatory reports. **Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses** The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.03% at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.06% at March 31, 2026. The decrease in the ACL as a percentage of loans was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average life of loans in the real estate construction and land development segment and an incremental change in the mix of loans from loans which have a higher ACL percentage to those which have a lower ACL percentage. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a $844,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on loans, compared to an $820,000 reversal of provision during the first quarter of 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a $77,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, compared to a $210,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the first quarter of 2026. The following table provides detail on the changes in the ACL on loans and the ACL on unfunded commitments ("ACL on Unfunded"), and the related (reversal of) provision for credit losses for the periods indicated: **As of or for the Quarter Ended** **June 30, 2026** **March 31, 2026** **June 30, 2025** **ACL on Loans** **ACL on Unfunded** **Total** **ACL on Loans** **ACL on Unfunded** **Total** **ACL on Loans** **ACL on Unfunded** **Total** **(Dollars in thousands)** Balance, beginning of period $ 60,551 $ 1,185 $ 61,736 $ 52,584 $ 1,047 $ 53,631 $ 52,160 $ 647 $ 52,807 Initial ACL recorded for the Merger — — $ — 9,339 348 $ 9,687 — — $ — (Reversal of) provision for credit losses (844) (77) (921) (820) (210) (1,030) 863 93 956 (Net charge-offs) / recoveries (234) — (234) (552) — (552) (494) — (494) Balance, end of period $ 59,473 $ 1,108 $ 60,581 $ 60,551 $ 1,185 $ 61,736 $ 52,529 $ 740 $ 53,269 **Credit Quality** Classified loans (loans rated substandard or worse) decreased $15.9 million from the prior quarter due primarily to loan payoffs during the quarter. The percentage of classified loans to loans receivable decreased to 1.8% at June 30, 2026, compared to 2.1% at March 31, 2026.

Two commercial and industrial loan relationships totaling $5.0 million were migrated to nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2026, and both were paid off prior to the end of the quarter.

This included on- and off-balance sheet liquidity. The Company has access to FHLB advances and the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") Discount Window. The Company's available liquidity sources at June 30, 2026 represented a coverage ratio of 46.5% of total deposits and 118.9% of estimated uninsured deposits. The following table summarizes the Company's available liquidity as of the dates indicated: **Quarter Ended** **June 30,** **2026** **March 31,** **2026** **(Dollars in thousands)** On-balance sheet liquidity Cash and cash equivalents $ 204,375 $ 268,143 Unencumbered investment securities available for sale (1) 949,021 978,332 Total on-balance sheet liquidity $ 1,153,396 $ 1,246,475 Off-balance sheet liquidity FRB borrowing availability $ 339,029 $ 341,449 FHLB borrowing availability (2) 1,635,593 1,469,277 Fed funds line borrowing availability with correspondent banks 145,000 145,000 Total off-balance sheet liquidity $ 2,119,622 $ 1,955,726 Total available liquidity $ 3,273,018 $ 3,202,201 (1) Investment securities available for sale at fair value. (2) Includes FHLB total borrowing availability of $1.80 billion at June 30, 2026 based on pledged assets, however, maximum credit capacity was 45% of the Bank's total assets one quarter in arrears or $3.82 billion. **Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin** Net interest income increased $5.6 million, or 8.1%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to a $7.0 million increase in total interest income, offset partially by an increase in interest expense of $1.4 million. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to one additional month of income attributable to the assets and liabilities obtained in the Merger which was completed on January 31, 2026. Net interest margin increased three basis points to 3.99% during the second quarter of 2026, from 3.96% during the first quarter of 2026. The increase in net interest margin was due primarily to the increase in yield on investments and decreases in the cost of interest bearing deposits. The yield on interest earning assets increased two basis points to 5.21% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 5.19% for the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase in yield on investments of 12 basis points to 3.55% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.43% for the first quarter of 2026. The yield on loans receivable decreased one basis point to 5.72% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 5.73% during the first quarter of 2026. The decrease was due primarily to recovery of interest income on nonaccrual loans recognized in the first quarter of 2026 which contributed six basis points to loan yield for the first quarter of 2026 and had no impact in the second quarter of 2026. Loan yield also benefited from the incremental accretion on purchased loans in both the first and second quarter of 2026. The following table presents the net interest margin and loan yield and the effect of the incremental accretion on purchased loans on these ratios for the periods indicated: **Quarter Ended** **June 30,** **2026** **March 31,** **2026** **June 30,** **2025** **Net Interest Margin, excluding incremental accretion on purchased loans, annualized:** Net interest margin 3.99 % 3.96 % 3.51 % Exclude impact from incremental accretion on purchased loans(2) (0.09) % (0.09) % (0.01) % Net interest margin, excluding incremental accretion on purchased loans(1) 3.90 % 3.87 % 3.50 % **Loan yield, excluding incremental accretion on purchased loans, annualized:** Loan yield 5.72 % 5.73 % 5.50 % Exclude impact from incremental accretion on purchased loans(2) (0.12) (0.12) (0.01) Loan yield, excluding incremental accretion on purchased loans(1) 5.60 % 5.61 % 5.49 % Incremental accretion on purchased loans(1) $ 1,772 $ 1,623 $ 76 (1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure. (2) Represents the amount of interest income recorded on purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes due to incremental accretion of purchased discount or premium. Purchased discount or premium is the difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value of acquired loans at the acquisition date. The purchased discount is accreted into income over the remaining life of the loan. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases. The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased four basis points to 1.67% for the second quarter of 2026, from 1.71% for the first quarter of 2026. This decrease was primarily due to one additional month of interest expense on deposits acquired from Olympic, which had a lower cost of deposits.

The increase was due primarily to increases in service charges and other fees, card revenue and BOLI income due to an additional month of income from the deposit portfolio and bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") acquired from Olympic. Noninterest income increased $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2026 from the same period in 2025 due primarily to a $6.9 million loss recognized in the second quarter of 2025 resulting from the sale of investment securities as part of the strategic repositioning of the Company's balance sheet, and due to increases in service charges and other fees, card revenue, and BOLI income due to income from the deposit portfolio and BOLI acquired from Olympic.

The increase was primarily due to one additional month of expense related to the Merger, including increases related to compensation and employee benefits from increased headcount, occupancy and equipment expense primarily due to additional rent expense, and additional data processing expense due to an increase in transactional accounts and balances. Merger related expenses, which consisted of severance expense, professional fees, core conversion costs, and contract termination costs incurred in the second quarter of 2026 were $7.5 million compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Noninterest expense increased $23.2 million, or 56.6%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to an increase in expenses related to the Merger and the addition of Olympic operations.
