NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Organization

Five Star Bank (the “Bank”) was chartered on October 26, 1999 and began operations on December 20, 1999. Five Star Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 16, 2002 and subsequently obtained approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) to become a bank holding company in connection with its acquisition of the Bank. The Company became the sole shareholder of the Bank on June 2, 2003 in a statutory merger, pursuant to which each outstanding share of the Bank’s common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company.

The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of banking products and services to customers who are predominately small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and individuals residing in the Northern California region. The Company’s primary loan products are commercial real estate loans, land development loans, construction loans, and operating lines of credit, and its primary deposit products are checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and term certificate accounts. The Bank currently has nine branch offices in Roseville, Natomas, Rancho Cordova, Redding, Elk Grove, Chico, Yuba City, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek.

(b) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as contained within the Federal Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), including Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Regulation S-X. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2026.

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and to general practices within the banking industry.

The Company has one reportable operating segment: banking. The banking segment derives its revenues through the Bank, which provides a broad range of banking products and services to customers who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses, professionals, and individuals primarily in the Northern California region. The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM assesses performance for the operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow, loan and deposit pricing, and the allocation of budget for non-interest expenses. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. Discrete financial information is not available other than on a Company-wide basis.

(d) Emerging Growth Company

The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and, as such, may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and deferred adoption dates for accounting standards, and is relieved of other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to other public companies. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering (“IPO”) date of May 5, 2021, unless one of the following occurs: (i) total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the Company issues more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iii) the Company becomes a large accelerated filer with a public float of more than $0.7 billion, as measured at June 30 annually.

(e) Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 1, Basis of Presentation in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(f) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following information reflects recent accounting standards that have been adopted or are pending adoption by the Company. The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company and, as such, has elected not to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and is not subject to the new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies during the extended transition period. However, we may early adopt certain accounting standards, as the JOBS Act does not preclude an emerging growth company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies to the extent early adoption is permitted. Our early adoption of ASU 2023-09 was voluntary and does not represent an irrevocable election to opt out of the extended transition period for all standards. The accounting standards discussed below indicate effective dates for the Company as an emerging growth company using the extended transition period.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2026

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. Entities are also required to disclose income/(loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense/(benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign operations, as well as income tax expense/(benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign operations. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for emerging growth companies that have elected not to opt out of the extended transition period. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s early adoption of ASU 2023-09 was voluntary and does not represent an irrevocable election to opt out of the extended transition period for all standards. The Company has updated its income tax disclosures in accordance with ASU 2023-09, which primarily enhances transparency regarding income tax expense and related items.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”), amending disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB’s ASC. ASU 2023-06 was issued in response to the SEC’s initiative to update and simplify disclosure requirements. The SEC identified 27 disclosure requirements that were incremental to those in the ASC and referred them to the FASB for potential incorporation into GAAP. To avoid duplication, the SEC intended to eliminate those disclosure requirements from existing SEC regulations as the FASB incorporated them into the relevant ASC subtopics. ASU 2023-06 adds 14 of the 27 identified disclosure or presentation requirements to the ASC. ASU 2023-06 is to be applied prospectively, and early adoption is prohibited. For reporting entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective dates of ASU 2023-06 will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the ASC and will not become effective for any entities. ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the ASC that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. FASB Concepts Statements are nonauthoritative. Removing all references to Concepts Statements in the guidance is intended to simplify the ASC and draw a distinction between authoritative and nonauthoritative literature. ASU 2024-02 is effective January 1, 2026 for emerging growth companies electing not to opt out of the extended transition period and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“Subtopic 220-40”): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025 the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date. This standard responds to investor input by requiring public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This standard is effective for all entities that are subject to Subtopic 220-40, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, but early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(g) Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in previous consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported amounts of net income, total assets, or total shareholders’ equity.

Note 2: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Hierarchy and Fair Value Measurement

Accounting standards require the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Table 2.1 summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.


Table 2.1: Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Measurement Categories: Changes in Fair Value Recorded In1

Assets:
Securities available-for-sale:
U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds	$	91,715	$	—	$	91,715	$	—	OCI




December 31, 2025
Assets:

1Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or net income (“NI”).

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) are used to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities. If quoted market prices are not available, management obtains pricing information from a reputable third-party service provider, who may utilize valuation techniques that use current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as bid/ask prices, dealer-quoted prices, interest rates, benchmark yield curves, prepayment speeds, probability of default, loss severity, and credit spreads (Level 2 inputs). Level 2 securities include U.S. agencies’ or government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, government agency-issued bonds, privately issued collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds. Level 3 securities are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. In addition, values use discounted cash flow models and may include significant management judgment and estimation. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no Level 1 available-for-sale securities and no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 classifications for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis was immaterial to the Company.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Table 2.2 is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The carrying amounts in Table 2.2 are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets under the indicated captions. Further, management has not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements, such as BOLI.

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits in banks: The carrying amount is estimated to be fair value due to the liquid nature of the assets and their short-term maturities.

Investment securities: See discussion above for the methods and assumptions used by the Company to estimate the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities. The fair value of held-to-maturity securities is estimated by calculating the net present value of future cash flows based on observable market data, such as interest rates and yield curves (observable at commonly quoted intervals) as provided by an independent third party.

Loans held for investment, net of allowance for credit losses: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, which use interest rates being offered at each reporting date for loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable creditworthiness without considering widening credit spreads due to market illiquidity, which approximates the exit price notion. The allowance for credit losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of loan discount for credit quality concerns.

Commitments to extend credit: These are primarily for adjustable rate loans, and there are no differences between the committed amounts and their fair values. Commitments to fund fixed rate loans are at rates which approximate fair value at each reporting date.

Time deposits: The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that uses interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated notes: The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flow using the current three-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Company’s subordinated notes are not registered securities and were issued through private placements, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Other borrowings: The carrying amount is estimated to be fair value.

Note 3: Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio includes obligations of states and political subdivisions, securities issued by U.S. federal government agencies, such as the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), and securities issued by U.S. Government Sponsored Entities (“GSEs”), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (the “FNMA”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the “FHLMC”), and the FHLB. The Company also invests in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations issued or guaranteed by GSEs, and corporate bonds, as reflected in Tables 3.1 and 3.2.

A summary of the amortized cost and fair value related to securities held-to-maturity as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is presented in Table 3.1. Securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost, had a $20.0 thousand allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Total held-to-maturity	$	2,190	$	—	$	(195)	$	1,995

For securities issued by states and political subdivisions, for purposes of evaluating whether to recognize credit loss expense, management considers: (i) issuer and/or guarantor credit ratings; (ii) historical probability of default and loss given default rates for given bond ratings and remaining maturity; (iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities; (iv) internal credit review of the financial information; and (v) whether or not such securities have credit enhancements such as guarantees, contain a defeasance clause, or are pre-refunded by the issuers.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities, at amortized cost, was $20.0 thousand. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities, at fair value, as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

A summary of the amortized cost and fair value related to securities available-for-sale as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is presented in Table 3.2. Securities available-for-sale did not have an allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

There were 145 and 147 available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the investment portfolio included 141 investment securities that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more and four investment securities that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months.

There was one held-to-maturity security in a continuous unrealized loss position at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which at December 31, 2025 had been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months.

Obligations issued or guaranteed by government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (the “GNMA”) and the SBA, or GSEs under conservatorship such as the FNMA and the FHLMC, are guaranteed or sponsored by agencies of the U.S. government and have strong credit profiles. The Company therefore expects to receive all contractual interest payments on time and believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is remote.

The Company’s investment in obligations of states and political subdivisions is deemed credit worthy after management’s comprehensive analysis of the issuers’ latest financial information, credit ratings by major credit agencies, and/or credit enhancements.

Non-Marketable Securities

FHLB capital stock: As a member of the FHLB, the Company is required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB capital stock determined by the board of directors of the FHLB. The minimum investment requirements can increase in the event the Company increases its total asset size or borrowings with the FHLB. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLB and its members at the $100 per share par value. The Company held $15.0 million of FHLB stock at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The carrying amounts of these investments are reasonable estimates of fair value because the securities are restricted to member banks and do not have a readily determinable market value. Based on management’s analysis of the FHLB’s financial condition and certain qualitative factors, management determined that the FHLB stock was not impaired at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Equity investments: The Company is a limited partner and has committed to and is invested in a limited number of venture-backed capital funds and accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting, as its ownership is greater than 3% of each fund. The Company held $13.1 million and $12.1 million of equity investments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, included in “Interest receivable and other assets” in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of loss from these investments was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company recorded no share of earnings or losses from these investments for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s share of earnings and losses from these investments is included in “Other non-interest income” in the consolidated statements of income. No individual investment is material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Based on management’s analysis of each fund’s financial condition and certain qualitative factors, management determined that the equity investments were not impaired at March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Note 4: Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s loan portfolio is its largest class of earning assets and typically provides higher yields than other types of earning assets. Associated with the higher yields is an inherent amount of credit risk which the Company attempts to mitigate through strong underwriting practices. Table 4.1 presents the balance of each major product type within the Company’s portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Underwriting

Real estate loans: Real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to those for commercial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected than other loans by conditions in the real estate market or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria.

Construction loans: With respect to construction loans that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction loans may be underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the ultimate success of the project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored using on-site inspections and are generally considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

Residential real estate loans: Residential real estate loans are underwritten based upon the borrower’s income, credit history, and collateral. To monitor and manage residential loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified,

as needed. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. Underwriting standards for home loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time, and documentation requirements.

Farmland loans: Farmland loans are generally made to producers and processors of crops and livestock. Repayment is primarily from the sale of an agricultural product or service. Farmland loans are secured by real property and are susceptible to changes in market demand for specific commodities. This may be exacerbated by, among other things, industry changes, changes in the individual financial capacity of the business owner, general economic conditions, changes in business cycles, and adverse weather conditions.

Commercial loans: Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. Once it is determined that the borrower’s management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, the Company’s management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay its obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Consumer loans: The Company purchased consumer loans underwritten utilizing credit scoring analysis to supplement the underwriting process. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time, and documentation requirements.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company has established a loan risk rating system to measure and monitor the quality of the loan portfolio. All loans are assigned a risk rating from the inception of the loan until the loan is paid off. The primary loan grades are as follows:

Loans rated pass: These are loans to borrowers with satisfactory financial support, repayment capacity, and credit strength. Borrowers in this category demonstrate fundamentally sound financial positions, repayment capacity, credit history, and management expertise. Loans in this category must have an identifiable and stable source of repayment and meet the Company’s policy regarding debt service coverage ratios. These borrowers are capable of sustaining normal economic, market, or operational setbacks without significant financial impacts and their financial ratios and trends are acceptable. Negative external industry factors are generally not present. The loan may be secured, unsecured, or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine and/or marketability is more uncertain.

Loans rated watch: These are loans which have deficient loan quality and potentially significant issues, but losses do not appear to be imminent, and the issues may be temporary in nature. The significant issues are typically: (i) a history of losses or events that threaten the borrower’s viability; (ii) a property with significant depreciation and/or marketability concerns; or (iii) poor or deteriorating credit, occasional late payments, and/or limited reserves but the loan is generally kept current. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Loans rated substandard: These are loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged (if any). Loans so classified exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans rated doubtful: These are loans for which the collection or liquidation of the entire debt is highly questionable or improbable. Typically, the possibility of loss is extremely high. The losses on these loans are deferred until all pending factors have been addressed.

Table 4.2 presents the amortized cost basis of the Company’s loans by origination year, where origination is defined as the later of origination or renewal date, and credit quality indicator as of the periods indicated.

Management regularly reviews the Company’s loans for accuracy of risk grades whenever new information is received. Borrowers are generally required to submit financial information at regular intervals. Typically, commercial borrowers with lines of credit are required to submit financial information with reporting intervals generally ranging from monthly to annually depending on credit size, risk, and complexity. All commercial borrowers with loans exceeding a certain dollar threshold are usually required to submit financials annually for review, which includes business financial statements, rent rolls, property income statements, and tax returns. Management monitors construction loans monthly and reviews consumer loans based on delinquency. Management also reviews loans graded “watch” or worse, regardless of loan type, no less than quarterly.

Total deposits include deposits offered through the IntraFi Network that are comprised of Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (“CDARS”) balances included in time deposits and Insured Cash Sweep® (“ICS”) balances included in money market and interest-bearing transaction deposits. Through this network, the Company offers customers access to FDIC-insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When funds are deposited through CDARS and ICS on behalf of a customer, the Company has the option of receiving matching deposits through the network’s reciprocal deposit program or placing deposits “one-way,” for which the Company receives no matching deposits. The Company considers the reciprocal deposits to be in-market deposits, as distinguished from traditional out-of-market brokered deposits. There were no one-way deposits at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The composition of network deposits as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is shown in Table 5.3.

Note 6: Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

Subordinated notes: On August 17, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of $75.0 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes to certain qualified investors, of which $19.3 million was purchased by existing or former members of the board of directors and their affiliates. The notes will be used for capital management and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the redemption of existing subordinated notes. The subordinated notes have a maturity date of September 1, 2032 and bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 6.00% per annum until September 1, 2027. On that date, the interest rate will be adjusted to float at a rate equal to the three-month Term SOFR plus 329.0 basis points (6.97% as of March 31, 2026) until maturity. The notes include a right of prepayment, on or after August 17, 2027 or, in certain limited circumstances, before that date. The indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated notes, including principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right to payment to general and secured creditors and depositors of the Company.

The subordinated notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company for regulatory capital purposes. Eligible amounts will be phased out by 20% per year beginning five years before the maturity date of the notes. Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the notes were $1.5 million, of which $0.5 million has been amortized as of March 31, 2026. The Company reflects debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face of the note. The debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense through the maturity period. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s subordinated notes outstanding was $74.1 million and $74.0 million, respectively.

Other borrowings: The Company entered into an agreement with the FHLB which granted the FHLB a blanket lien on certain loans receivable as collateral for a borrowing line. The Company’s total financing availability is based on the dollar volume of qualifying loan collateral. The Company’s total financing availability with the FHLB is decreased by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (“LCs”) issued on behalf of the Company, as shown in Table 6.1.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The borrowings were available at an interest rate of 3.75% as of March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the borrowing capacity under this arrangement was $1.0 billion and $957.4 million, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The borrowing line is secured by certain liens on the Company’s loans and certain available-for-sale securities.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had five unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $185.0 million with five of its correspondent banks. The borrowings were available at interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 4.95% as of March 31, 2026. There were no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Note 7: Shareholders’ Equity

(a) Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less average unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares related to unvested RSAs using the treasury stock method. The Company has two forms of outstanding common stock: common stock and unvested RSAs. Holders of unvested RSAs receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings, and therefore the RSAs are considered participating securities. However, under the two-class method, the difference in EPS is not significant for these participating securities.

Diluted EPS	$	0.87	$	0.62

The Company did not have any anti-dilutive shares at March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025.

(b) Dividends

The board of directors declared on January 15, 2026, and the Company subsequently paid, a cash dividend of $0.25 per share, totaling $5.3 million.

The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of RSAs granted under its historical stock-based incentive arrangement (the “Historical Incentive Plan”) and RSAs and performance-based restricted stock awards (“PSUs”) issued under the Five Star Bancorp 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).

The Historical Incentive Plan consisted of RSAs for certain executive officers of the Company. The arrangement provided that these executive officers would receive shares of restricted common stock of the Company that vested over three years, with the number of shares granted based upon achieving certain performance objectives. These objectives included, but were not limited to, net income adjusted for the provision for credit losses, deposit growth, efficiency ratio, net interest margin, and asset quality. Compensation expense for RSAs granted under the Historical Incentive Plan is recognized over the service period, which is equal to the vesting period of the shares based on the fair value of the shares at issue date.

In connection with its IPO in May 2021, the Company granted RSAs under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees, officers, executives, and non-employee directors. Shares granted to non-employee directors vested immediately upon grant, while shares granted to certain employees, officers, and executives vest ratably over three, five, or seven years (as defined in the respective agreements). Since the completion of the IPO, the Company has granted RSAs under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain executives, which vest ratably over three or five years (as defined in the respective agreements), and to directors, which vest over one year. All RSAs were granted at the fair value of common stock at the time of the award. The RSAs are considered fixed awards, as the number of shares and fair value are known at the date of grant and the fair value at the grant date is amortized over the service period.

Beginning in 2025, the Company has granted PSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain executives. Performance is measured over a three-year period and such PSUs cliff vest. Based on the achievement of certain pre-established goals, actual payouts can range from 0% to 150% of the target award. All PSUs were granted at the fair value of common stock at the time of the award. As such, the PSUs are considered variable awards, as the number of shares and fair value are not known at the date of grant. An estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. This estimate is re-evaluated quarterly, and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period. The estimate of the number of shares expected to vest is also used to accrue for dividends to be paid at the end of the vesting period.

The Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $2.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the 116,103 unvested RSAs. The holders of unvested RSAs are entitled to dividends at the same per-share ratio as holders of common stock. Tax benefits for dividends paid on unvested RSAs are recorded as tax benefits in the consolidated statements of income with a corresponding decrease to current taxes payable. Such tax benefits and related expense are expected to be recognized over the weighted average term remaining on the unvested RSAs of 1.47 years as of March 31, 2026. The impact of tax benefits for dividends paid on unvested RSAs on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was immaterial.

Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Substantially all of these commitments are at variable interest rates, based on an index, and have fixed expiration dates.

Off-balance sheet risk to loan loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to originate loans and lines of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. The contractual amounts of unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit not reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets at the dates indicated are presented in Table 8.1.


Table 8.1: Unfunded Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit

Commercial lines of credit	$	322,365	$	287,988
Undisbursed commercial real estate loans	121,692		94,559

Other	1,726		1,627
Total commitments and standby letters of credit	$	578,276	$	503,265

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments at the consolidated balance sheet date based on estimates of the probability that these commitments will be drawn upon according to historical utilization experience of the different types of commitments and historical loss rates determined for pooled funded loans. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $0.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2025, which is recorded in “Interest payable and other liabilities” in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Concentrations of credit risk: The Company grants real estate mortgage, real estate construction, commercial, and consumer loans to customers primarily in Northern California. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion is secured by commercial and residential real estate.

In management’s judgment, a concentration of loans exists in real estate related loans, which represented approximately 86.69% of the Company’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2026 and 86.07% of the Company’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2025. Although management believes such concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a substantial decline in the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on the collectability of these loans. Personal and business incomes represent the primary source of repayment for the majority of these loans.

Deposit concentrations: At March 31, 2026, the Company had 137 deposit relationships that exceeded $5.0 million each, totaling $2.7 billion, or approximately 60.67% of total deposits. The Company’s largest single deposit relationship at March 31, 2026 totaled $290.0 million, or approximately 6.49% of total deposits. Management maintains the Company’s liquidity position and lines of credit with correspondent banks to mitigate the risk of large withdrawals by this group of large depositors.

Contingencies: The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially adversely affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Correspondent banking agreements: The Company maintains funds on deposit with other FDIC-insured financial institutions under correspondent banking agreements. Uninsured deposits through these agreements totaled approximately $41.6 million and $27.4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Equity investments: The Company is a limited partner and has committed to and is invested in a limited number of venture-backed capital funds. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance of these investments totaled approximately $13.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated remaining commitment for these funds totaled $11.8 million and $13.7 million, respectively.

Litigation Matters

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially adversely affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Note 9: Subsequent Events

On April 16, 2026, the board of directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, which the Company expects to pay on May 11, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 4, 2026.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion presents management’s perspective on our results of operations and financial condition on a consolidated basis.

Company Overview

Headquartered in the greater Sacramento metropolitan area of California, Five Star Bancorp is a bank holding company that operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Five Star Bank, a California state-chartered non-member bank. We provide a broad range of banking products and services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and individuals primarily in Northern California through nine branch offices. Our mission is to strive to become the top business bank in all markets we serve through exceptional service, deep connectivity, and customer empathy. We are dedicated to serving real estate, agricultural, faith-based, and small to medium-sized enterprises. We aim to consistently deliver value that meets or exceeds the expectations of our shareholders, customers, employees, business partners, and community. We refer to our mission as “purpose-driven and integrity-centered banking.” At March 31, 2026, we had total assets of $5.0 billion, total loans held for investment of $4.2 billion, and total deposits of $4.5 billion.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes as would be necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP as contained within the FASB’s ASC and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Regulation S-X. However, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements as filed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto.

Our most significant accounting policies and our critical accounting estimates are described in greater detail in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in our audited consolidated financial statements and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have identified accounting policies and estimates that, due to the difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and assumptions inherent in those policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of our unaudited consolidated financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements are reasonable and appropriate, based on the information available at the time they were made. However, actual results may differ from those estimates, and these differences may be material. With the exception of the changes to the allowance for credit losses described below, there have been no significant changes concerning our critical accounting estimates as described in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pursuant to the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for adopting any new or revised accounting standards. We have elected not to opt out of the extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and private companies, we may adopt the standard on the application date for private companies. However, we may early adopt certain accounting standards, as the JOBS Act does not preclude an emerging growth company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies to the extent early adoption is permitted.

We have elected to take advantage of the scaled disclosures and other relief under the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us under the JOBS Act, so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents the estimated expected credit losses in our loan and investment portfolios and is estimated as of March 31, 2026 using Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”). The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to operations. Loans and investments are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off amounts, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management in consideration of optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic current conditions, and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions specifically impacting each loan type by purpose and by geography, and concentrations within the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A significant amount of the allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis by loan and investment security type when similar risk characteristics exist. Pools are determined based primarily on regulatory reporting codes as the loans and investment securities within each pool share similar risk characteristics and there is sufficient historical peer loss data from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) to provide statistically meaningful support in the models developed. Reserves for credit losses identified on a pooled basis are then adjusted for qualitative factors to reflect current conditions. The most significant components of the qualitative factors used to estimate the allowance for credit losses are adjustments relating to prevailing economic conditions, concentrations within the loan portfolio, and external factors. These qualitative factors are subject to significant judgment and carry a higher degree of uncertainty. The prevailing economic conditions factor is estimated based on a range of potential economic conditions and is applied at both the portfolio and individual concentration level based on various factors. The factor concerning concentrations within the loan portfolio is estimated based on concentrations at the loan pool level. The external factor is estimated based on current external factors, such as environmental factors, which could impact the loan portfolio.

Executive Summary

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $18.6 million, as compared to net income of $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The following are highlights of our operating and financial performance, and financial condition for the dates and periods presented:

•Deposits. Total deposits increased by $268.3 million, or 6.39%, from $4.2 billion at December 31, 2025 to $4.5 billion at March 31, 2026. Non-wholesale deposits increased by $350.2 million in the first three months of 2026 to $4.1 billion at March 31, 2026. Wholesale deposits, which the Company defines as brokered deposits and California Time Deposit Program deposits, decreased by $81.9 million in the first three months of 2026 to $383.1 million. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $148.2 million in the first three months of 2026 to $1.2 billion, and represented 27.58% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, as compared to 25.82% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. Our loan to deposit ratio was 94.27% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 97.00% at December 31, 2025.

•Assets. Total assets were $5.0 billion at March 31, 2026, representing a $276.9 million, or 5.82%, increase compared to $4.8 billion at December 31, 2025.

•Loans. Total loans held for investment were $4.2 billion at March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.1 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $138.5 million, or 3.40%. The increase was a result of $389.0 million in loan originations and advances, partially offset by $67.9 million and $182.6 million in loan payoffs and paydowns, respectively.

•Credit Quality. Credit quality remains strong, with non-accrual loans representing $2.8 million, or 0.07% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2026, as compared to $3.1 million, or 0.08% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2025. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment was 1.10% at March 31, 2026 and 1.09% at December 31, 2025.

•Net Interest Margin. Net interest margin was 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 3.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to an increase in interest income related to loan growth and an improvement in the average yield on loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense driven by deposit growth.

•Efficiency Ratio. Efficiency ratio was 38.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, down from 42.58% for the corresponding period of 2025, mainly due to a $9.5 million, or 27.90%, increase in net interest income during the same period.

•Capital Ratios. All capital ratios were above well-capitalized regulatory thresholds as of March 31, 2026. The total risk-based capital ratio for the Company was 13.17% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 13.33% at December 31, 2025. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.56% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 9.70% at December 31, 2025. For additional information about the regulatory capital requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank, see the section entitled “—Financial Condition Summary—Capital Adequacy” below.

•Dividends. The board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on January 15, 2026.

1Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is defined as total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets at the end of each of the periods indicated.

2Tangible book value per share is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Tangible book value per share is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of common shares at the end of the period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share at the end of each of the periods indicated.

3Total cost of funds reflects the average cost of all funding sources, including both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

4Cash dividend payout ratio on common stock is calculated as dividends on common shares divided by basic earnings per common share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the most significant contributor to our net income. Net interest income represents interest income from interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits, subordinated notes, and other borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. In evaluating our net interest income, we measure and monitor yields/rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as trends in our net interest margin. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets for the same period. We manage our earning assets and funding sources in order to maximize this margin while limiting credit risk and interest rate sensitivity to our established risk appetite levels. Changes in market interest rates and competition in our market typically have the largest impact on periodic changes in our net interest margin.

Net interest income increased by $9.5 million, or 27.90%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and our net interest margin increased by 25 basis points during the same period. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income driven by loan growth and an improvement in the average yield on loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense driven by deposit growth. Additional detail relating to net interest margin in each period is provided below.

Table 3 presents average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense, and the corresponding average yield earned or rate paid for each period reported. The average balances are daily averages and include both performing and nonperforming loans.

2Yields on available-for-sale securities are calculated based on fair value. Investment security interest is earned monthly on a 30/360 day basis. Yields are not calculated on a tax-equivalent basis.

3Non-accrual loans are included in total loan balances. No adjustment has been made for these loans in the yield calculations. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs. Allowance for credit losses is not included in total loan balances.

4Allowance for credit losses is included in interest receivable and other assets, net.

5Net interest spread represents the average yield earned on interest-earning assets minus the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

6Net interest margin is computed by calculating the difference between interest income and interest expense, divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets, then annualized based on the number of days in the given period.

Analysis of changes in interest income and expenses. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average yields/rates. Table 4 shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned from our interest-earning assets and interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the current period’s average yield/rate. The effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/rate by the previous period’s volume. Changes not solely attributable to volume or yields/rates have been allocated in proportion to the respective volume and yield/rate components.

Changes in net interest income/margin	$	7,106	$	2,374	$	9,480

As compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $9.5 million, or 27.90%, to $43.5 million from $34.0 million. Net interest margin totaled 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 25 basis points compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to an additional $10.3 million in interest income, mainly due to a $582.5 million, or 16.32%, increase in the average balance of loans and a five basis point improvement in the average yield on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in interest expense due to a $734.4 million, or 20.48%, increase in the average balance of deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The average cost of deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 2.13%, a decrease of 35 basis points compared to the same quarter of the prior year, which helped to moderate the increase in interest expense related to deposits. In addition, the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $211.1 million, or 23.17%, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is based on management’s assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. Factors impacting the provision include inherent risk characteristics in our loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, both current and historic, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of the change in collateral values, and the funding probability on unfunded lending commitments. The provision for credit losses is charged against earnings in order to maintain our allowance for credit losses, which reflects management’s best estimate of expected life of loan losses in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.

We recorded a $2.7 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a $1.9 million provision for credit losses for the same period of 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 is mainly due to increases in loan growth and an overall increase in loss rates in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income is a secondary contributor to our net income, following interest income. Non-interest income consists of service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sale of loans, loan-related fees, FHLB stock dividends, earnings on BOLI, and other income.

Table 5 details the components of non-interest income for the periods indicated.

	For the three months ended

Gain on sale of loans	—		125		(125)		(100.00)	%
Loan-related fees	1,265		448		817		182.37	%

Total non-interest income	$	1,643	$	1,359	$	284	20.90	%

Gain on sale of loans. The decrease related to an overall decline in the volume of SBA loans sold due to a strategic, intentional reduction in originations of loans held for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no SBA loans were sold, as compared to approximately $1.7 million of SBA loans sold with an effective yield of 7.24% during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Loan-related fees. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $0.8 million in fees from swap referrals during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

FHLB stock dividends. The increase related primarily to a $0.4 million special cash dividend from the FHLB during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Other income. The decrease related primarily to an overall loss in earnings related to investments in venture-backed funds during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and software, FDIC insurance, professional services, advertising and promotional, loan-related expenses, and other operating expenses. In evaluating our level of non-interest expense, we closely monitor the Company’s efficiency ratio, which is calculated as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. We constantly seek to identify ways to streamline our business and operate more efficiently in order to reduce our non-interest expense over time as a percentage of our revenue, while continuing to achieve growth in total loans and assets.

Over the past several years, we have continued to invest significant resources in personnel, technology, and infrastructure. As we execute initiatives based on growth, we expect non-interest expense to continue to grow. Non-interest expense has increased throughout the periods presented below; however, we expect our efficiency ratio will continue to improve going forward due, in part, to our past investment in infrastructure.

Table 6 details the components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated.


Table 6: Non-interest Expense
	For the three months ended
(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2026		March 31, 2025		$ Change		% Change

Total non-interest expense	$	17,394	$	15,045	$	2,349	15.61	%

Salaries and employee benefits. The increase related primarily to: (i) a $2.3 million increase in salaries, benefits, and bonus expense, mainly related to a 17.48% increase in headcount between March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026; and (ii) a $0.5 million increase in commissions paid. This increase was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in deferred loan origination costs due to higher loan production period-over-period.

Occupancy and equipment. The increase was primarily due to expenses for the Walnut Creek branch office and Newport Beach non-depository office during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which did not exist for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Advertising and promotional. The increase related primarily to additional expenses incurred to support the expansion of the Bank’s business development teams, including $0.1 million related to business development expenses and $0.1 million related to donation, sponsorship, and advertising expenses.

Other operating expenses. The decrease related primarily to the release of a $1.0 million loss contingency on an SBA loan during the three months ended March 31, 2026. No such release occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by individually immaterial increases in expenses related to operations, including administration, courier service, and travel.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a $1.1 million increase from the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in taxable income, partially offset by a $0.2 million benefit recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the purchase of transferable tax credits that did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rates were 25.61% and 28.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY

The following discussion compares our financial condition as of March 31, 2026 to our financial condition as of December 31, 2025. Table 7 summarizes selected components of our unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.


Table 7: Selected Components of Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited)
(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Total assets	$	5,031,751	$	4,754,861
Cash and cash equivalents	644,359		506,851
Total investments	93,850		96,889
Loans held for investment	4,213,393		4,074,929
Total deposits	4,469,353		4,201,084
Subordinated notes, net	74,077		74,041
Total shareholders’ equity	458,519		445,832

Total Assets

At March 31, 2026, total assets were $5.0 billion, an increase of $276.9 million from $4.8 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily comprised of a $138.5 million increase in total loans held for investment and a $137.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. The $138.5 million increase in total loans held for investment between December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 was a result of $389.0 million in loan originations and advances, partially offset by $67.9 million and $182.6 million in loan payoffs and paydowns, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents were $644.4 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $137.5 million from $506.9 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the net increase in cash inflows from growth in total deposits of $268.3 million and cash outflows from growth in total loans held for investment of $138.5 million.

Investment Portfolio

Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, which are high-quality liquid investments. We manage our investment portfolio according to written investment policies approved by our board of directors. Our investment strategy is designed to maximize earnings while maintaining liquidity in securities with minimal credit risk and interest rate risk that is reflective of the yields obtained on those securities. Most of our securities are classified as available-for-sale, although we have one long-term, fixed rate municipal security classified as held-to-maturity.

Our total securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity amounted to $93.9 million at March 31, 2026 and $96.9 million at December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $3.0 million during the same period. The decrease to available-for-sale securities was primarily due to maturities, prepayments, and calls of $1.7 million, and an unrealized loss on securities of $1.2 million, with the remainder of the change due to amortization of premiums. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other comprehensive loss was $1.0 million, primarily due to market conditions on securities during that period.

Weighted average yield for securities available-for-sale is the projected yield to maturity given current cash flow projections for U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations. For callable municipal securities and corporate bonds, weighted average yield is a yield to worst. Weighted average yield for securities held-to-maturity is the stated coupon of the bond. Yields on tax-exempt securities are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis.

Loan Portfolio

Our loan portfolio is our largest class of interest-earning assets and typically provides higher yields than other types of interest-earning assets. Associated with the higher yields is an inherent amount of credit risk, which we attempt to mitigate with strong underwriting standards. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our total loans amounted to $4.2 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. Table 10 presents the balance and associated percentage of each major product type within our portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Commercial real estate loans consist of term loans secured by a mortgage lien on the real property, such as office and industrial buildings, manufactured home communities, self-storage facilities, hospitality properties, faith-based properties, retail shopping centers, and apartment buildings, as well as commercial real estate construction loans that are offered to builders and developers.

Commercial land and development and commercial construction loans consist of loans made to fund commercial land acquisition and development and commercial construction, respectively. The real estate purchased with these loans is generally located in or near our market.

Residential real estate and construction real estate loans consist of loans secured by single-family and multifamily residential properties, which are both owner-occupied and investor-owned.

Farmland loans consist of loans used to purchase, refinance, or improve farmland secured by farming properties themselves. The farmland is generally located in or near our market.

Commercial loans consist of financing for commercial purposes in various lines of business, including manufacturing, service industry, and professional service areas. Commercial loans can be secured or unsecured but are generally secured with the assets of the company and/or the personal guaranty of the business owner(s).

Consumer and other loans consist primarily of loans purchased in a loan purchase program with a non-bank lender, generally made to professionals for the purpose of large personal or household purchases. The loans are unsecured, fixed rate loans. Consumer and other loans also include loans purchased or originated through financing partnerships which are no longer active.

Table 11 presents the commercial real estate loan balance, associated percentage of commercial real estate concentrations, estimated real estate collateral values, and related loan-to-value (“LTV”) ranges by collateral type as of the dates indicated. Revolving lines of credit with zero balance and 0.00% LTV are excluded from this table. Collateral values are determined at origination using third-party real estate appraisals or evaluations. Updated appraisals, which are included in Table 11, may be obtained for loans that are downgraded to watch or substandard. Loans over $2.0 million are reviewed annually, at which time an internal assessment of collateral values is completed.

2Minimum LTV and maximum LTV not shown for aggregated totals, as such values are meaningful only when presented by specific category.

Over the past several years, we have experienced significant growth in our loan portfolio, although the relative composition of the portfolio has not changed materially. Our primary focus remains commercial real estate lending (including commercial, commercial land and development, and commercial construction), which constitutes 83.80% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2026. Commercial secured lending represents 5.77% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2026. We sell the guaranteed portion of all SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market and will continue to do so as long as market conditions continue to be favorable.

We recognize that our commercial real estate loan concentration is significant within our balance sheet. Commercial real estate loan balances as a percentage of risk-based capital were 599.40% and 594.17% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We have established internal concentration limits in the loan portfolio for commercial real estate loans by sector (e.g., manufactured home communities, self-storage, hospitality, etc.). All loan sectors were within our established limits as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, our loans are geographically concentrated with borrowers and collateralized properties primarily in California.

We believe that our past success is attributable to focusing on products and markets where we have significant expertise. Given our concentrations, we have established strong risk management practices, including risk-based lending standards, self-established product and geographical limits, annual evaluations of income property loans, and semi-annual top-down and bottom-up stress testing. We expect to continue growing our loan portfolio. We do not expect our product or geographic concentrations to materially change.

Asset Quality

We manage the quality of our loans based upon trends at the overall loan portfolio level, as well as within each product type. We measure and monitor key factors that include the level and trend of classified, delinquent, non-accrual, and nonperforming assets, collateral coverage, credit scores, and debt service coverage, where applicable. These metrics directly impact our evaluation of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses.

Our primary objective is to maintain a high level of asset quality in our loan portfolio. We believe our underwriting policies and practices, executed by experienced professionals, appropriately govern the risk profile for our loan portfolio. These policies are continually evaluated and updated as necessary. All loans are assessed and assigned a risk classification at origination based on underlying characteristics of the transaction, such as collateral cash flow, collateral coverage, and borrower strength. We believe that we have a comprehensive methodology to proactively monitor our credit quality after the origination process. Particular emphasis is placed on our commercial portfolio, where risk assessments are reevaluated as a result of reviewing commercial property operating statements and borrower financials. On an ongoing basis, we also monitor payment performance, delinquencies, and tax and property insurance compliance. We design our practices to facilitate the early detection and remediation of problems within our loan portfolio. Assigned risk classifications are an integral part of management’s assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. We periodically employ the use of an independent consulting firm to evaluate our underwriting and risk assessment process. Like other financial institutions, we are subject to the risk that our loan portfolio will be exposed to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions and rising interest rates.

Nonperforming Assets

Our nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate, if any. Nonperforming loans consist of non-accrual loans and loans contractually past due by 90 days or more and still accruing. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of interest or principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued, but not collected, is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

SBA Loans

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not sell any SBA 7(a) loans.

The ratio of nonperforming loans to loans held for investment was 0.07% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.08% at December 31, 2025.

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end nonperforming loans increased from 1,434.40% as of December 31, 2025 to 1,649.11% as of March 31, 2026. This increase was due to a $2.0 million, or 4.57%, increase in the allowance for credit losses, while nonperforming loans decreased by $0.3 million, or 9.04%, due to the payoff of one nonperforming loan and the sale of another.

Potential Problem Loans

We utilize a risk grading system for our loans to aid us in evaluating the overall credit quality of our real estate loan portfolio and assessing the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. All loans are grouped into a risk category at the time of origination. Commercial real estate loans over $2.0 million are reevaluated at least annually for proper classification in conjunction with our review of property and borrower financial information. All loans are reevaluated for proper risk grading as new information such as payment patterns, collateral condition, and other relevant information comes to our attention.

Loans designated as “watch” are internal bank designations and are not considered adversely classified. However, loans designated as “substandard” or “doubtful” are considered adversely classified. Table 14 shows loans by credit quality risk rating as of the periods indicated.

Loans designated as watch and substandard increased to $166.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $124.2 million at December 31, 2025. There were no loans with doubtful risk grades at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to operations. Provisions are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off amounts, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. Historical loss rates within the commercial secured pool are also evaluated by management on a regular basis to estimate the allowance for credit losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

At March 31, 2026, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $46.4 million, as compared to $44.4 million at December 31, 2025. The $2.0 million increase in the allowance is due to a $2.6 million provision for credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by net charge-offs of $0.6 million, primarily attributable to commercial and industrial loans, during the same period.

While the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb losses from any and all loans, Table 15 represents management’s allocation of our allowance for credit losses by loan category, the allocation of our allowance for credit losses as a percent of the total allowance for credit losses, and the balance of loans in each category as a percentage of total loans, for the periods indicated.

Liabilities

During the first three months of 2026, total liabilities increased by $264.2 million from $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2025 to $4.6 billion as of March 31, 2026. This increase was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $268.3 million. The increase in deposits was largely due to increases in money market and non-interest-bearing deposits of $212.6 million and $148.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a $100.3 million decrease in time deposits, mainly attributed to an $81.9 million decline in wholesale deposits.

Deposits

Representing 97.73% of our total liabilities as of March 31, 2026, deposits are our primary source of funding for our business operations.

Total deposits increased by $268.3 million, or 6.39%, to $4.5 billion at March 31, 2026 from $4.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits was largely due to increases in money market and non-interest-bearing deposits of $212.6 million and $148.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a $100.3 million decrease in time deposits, mainly attributed to an $81.9 million decline in wholesale deposits. The Company defines wholesale deposits as brokered deposits and California Time Deposit Program deposits. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $148.2 million from December 31, 2025 to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2026, representing 27.58% of total deposits at that date, as compared to 25.82% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. Our loan to deposit ratio was 94.27% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 97.00% at December 31, 2025. We closely monitor the loan to deposit ratio for purposes of both operational objectives and regulatory capital compliance. We intend to continue to operate our business with close monitoring of the loan to deposit ratio.

Net uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaled approximately $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, our 62 largest deposit relationships, each accounting for more than $10.0 million, totaled $2.2 billion, or 48.62% of our total deposits. The average age on deposit relationships of more than $5.0 million was approximately 7.98 years as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, our 53 largest deposit relationships, each accounting for more than $10.0 million, totaled $2.0 billion, or 47.82% of our total deposits. Overall, our large deposit relationships have been relatively consistent over time and have helped to continue to grow our deposit base.

Table 18 shows the entity types making up our large deposit relationships at the dates indicated.

Our largest single deposit relationship at March 31, 2026 related to a government agency. The balance for this customer was $290.0 million, or approximately 6.49% of total deposits as of that date. At December 31, 2025, our largest single deposit relationship related to a government agency and had a balance of $290.0 million, or 6.90% of total deposits as of that date. As our demand deposits fluctuate, we have purchased brokered deposits as needed to supplement liquidity. We do not consider brokered deposits as core deposits, but as another deposit funding source for our loan growth.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings

From time to time, we utilize short-term collateralized FHLB borrowings to maintain adequate liquidity. There were no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

In 2022, we issued subordinated notes of $75.0 million. This debt was issued to investors in private placement transactions. See Note 6, Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings, in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these subordinated notes. The proceeds of the notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the regulatory capital rules of the federal banking agencies.

Table 20 is a summary of our outstanding subordinated notes as of March 31, 2026.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $458.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $445.8 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily a result of $18.6 million recognized as net income, partially offset by $5.3 million in cash dividends paid during the period and a $1.0 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

We manage liquidity based upon factors that include the level of diversification of our funding sources, the composition of our deposit types, the availability of unused funding sources, our off-balance sheet obligations, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, and the availability of assets to be readily converted into cash without undue loss. As the primary federal regulator of the Bank, the FDIC evaluates our liquidity on a stand-alone basis pursuant to applicable guidance and policies.

Liquidity refers to our capacity to meet our cash obligations at a reasonable cost. Our cash obligations require us to have cash flow that is adequate to fund loan growth and maintain on-balance sheet liquidity while meeting present and future obligations of deposit withdrawals, borrowing maturities, and other contractual cash obligations. In managing our cash flows, management regularly confronts situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk. These include funding mismatches, market constraints in accessing sources of funds, and the ability to convert assets into cash. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to borrower credit quality, capital markets, and operational, legal, or reputational risks could also affect the Bank’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in the assessment of liquidity management.

The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, must provide for its own liquidity, including liquidity required to meet its debt service requirements on its subordinated notes. The Company’s main source of cash flow is dividends declared and paid to it by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company, including various legal and regulatory provisions that limit the amount of dividends the Bank can pay to the Company without regulatory approval. Under the California Financial Code, payment of a dividend from the Bank to the Company without advance regulatory approval is restricted to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or the amount of the Bank’s net income from the previous three fiscal years less the amount of dividends paid during that period. We believe that these limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations. For contingency purposes, the Company maintains a minimum level of cash to fund one year’s projected operating cash flow needs plus two years’ subordinated notes debt service. We continually monitor our liquidity position in order to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term, long-term, and strategic liquidity demands. Management has established a comprehensive process for identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is fully integrated into our risk management

processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include effective corporate governance, consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; appropriate strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and monitoring systems, including stress tests, that are commensurate with the complexity of our business activities; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; an appropriately diverse mix of existing and potential future funding sources; adequate levels of highly liquid marketable securities free of legal, regulatory, or operational impediments that can be used to meet liquidity needs in stress situations; comprehensive contingency funding plans that sufficiently address potential adverse liquidity events and emergency cash flow requirements; and internal controls and internal audit processes sufficient to determine the adequacy of the Bank’s liquidity risk management process.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of our liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquidity requirements are met primarily through our deposits, Federal Reserve Discount Window advances, FHLB advances, and the principal and interest payments we receive on loans and investment securities. Cash on hand, cash at third-party banks, investments available-for-sale, and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios are our most liquid assets. Other sources of liquidity that are routinely available to us include funds from retail and wholesale deposits, advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and proceeds from the sale of loans. Less commonly used sources of funding include borrowings from established federal funds lines from unaffiliated commercial banks, and the issuance of debt or equity securities. We believe we have ample liquidity resources to fund future growth and meet other cash needs as necessary.

As of March 31, 2026, we had a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC registering the offer and sale by us of up to $300.0 million of any combination of equity or debt securities, depository shares, warrants, purchase contracts, purchase units, subscription rights, and units in one or more offerings. Specific information on the terms of any securities being offered, including the expected use of proceeds from the sale of such securities, are provided at the time of the offering.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our executive officers and board of directors review our sources and potential uses of cash in connection with our annual budgeting process. Generally speaking, our principal funding source is cash from deposits, and our principal uses of cash include funding of loans, operating expenses, income taxes, and dividend payments, as described below. As of March 31, 2026, management believes the above-mentioned sources will provide adequate liquidity during the next twelve months for the Bank to meet its operating needs.

Loans

Loans are a significant use of cash in daily operations, and a source of cash as customers make payments on their loans or as loans are sold to other financial institutions. Cash flows from loans are affected by the timing and amount of customer payments and prepayments, changes in interest rates, the general economic environment, competition, and the political environment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had cash outflows of $139.2 million in loan originations and advances, net of principal collected, and no loans originated for sale.

Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments to extend credit, such as commitments to fund new loans and undisbursed construction funds. While these commitments represent contractual cash requirements, a portion of these commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2026, off-balance sheet commitments totaled $578.3 million. We expect to fund these commitments to the extent utilized primarily through the repayment of existing loans, deposit growth, and liquid assets.

Deposits

Deposits are our primary source of funding for our business operations, and the cost of deposits has a significant impact on our net interest income and net interest margin.

Our deposits are primarily made up of money market, interest-bearing transaction, time, and non-interest-bearing demand deposits. Aside from commercial and business clients, a significant portion of our deposits are from municipalities and

non-profit organizations. Cash flows from deposits are impacted by the timing and amount of customer deposits, changes in market rates, and collateral availability.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had cash inflows of $268.3 million related to an increase in deposits.

During the twelve months following March 31, 2026, approximately $453.6 million of time deposits are expected to mature, which includes $93.1 million of brokered deposits. After the twelve months following March 31, 2026, we expect $0.7 million of time deposits to mature through 2030. These deposits may or may not renew due to general competition. We expect the outflow will not be significant and can be replenished through our organic growth in deposits. We believe our emphasis on local deposits and our San Francisco Bay Area expansion provide a stable funding base.

At March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents represented 14.42% of total deposits.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities totaled $93.9 million at March 31, 2026. Mortgage-backed securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions comprised 49.76% and 40.59% of our investment portfolio, respectively. Cash proceeds from mortgage-backed securities result from payments of principal and interest by borrowers. Cash proceeds from obligations of states and political subdivisions occur when these securities are called or mature. Assuming the current prepayment speed and interest rate environment, we expect to receive approximately $9.9 million from our securities over the twelve months following March 31, 2026. In future periods, we expect to maintain approximately the same level of cash flows from our securities. Depending on market yield and our liquidity, we may purchase securities as a use of cash in our interest-earning asset portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had cash proceeds from sales, maturities, calls, and prepayments of securities of $1.7 million. Additionally, at March 31, 2026, securities available-for-sale totaled $91.7 million, of which $86.8 million has been pledged as collateral for borrowings and other commitments.

FHLB Financing

The Bank is a shareholder of the FHLB, which enables the Bank to have access to lower-cost FHLB financing when necessary. At March 31, 2026, the Bank had no outstanding FHLB financing borrowings and a total financing availability of $313.2 million, net of letters of credit issued of $1.1 billion.

Federal Reserve Discount Window

The Company has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window when necessary. At March 31, 2026, the Bank had no outstanding Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowings and a total financing availability of $1.0 billion.

Correspondent Bank Lines of Credit

At March 31, 2026, the unused and available amount for borrowing from correspondent bank lines of credit was $185.0 million.

Total Liquidity

Total liquidity (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and unused and immediately available borrowing capacity as set forth in Table 21) was approximately $2.2 billion as of March 31, 2026.


Table 21: Total Liquidity
	March 31, 2026
(dollars in thousands)	Line of Credit		Letters of Credit Issued		Borrowings		Available
FHLB advances	$	1,425,706	$	1,112,500	$	—	$	313,206

Cash and cash equivalents	—		—		—		644,359
Total	$	2,627,339	$	1,112,500	$	—	$	2,159,198

Future Contractual Obligations

Our estimated future contractual obligations as of March 31, 2026 include both current and long-term obligations. Under our operating leases, we have an operating lease liability of $11.5 million. We have a current obligation of $453.6 million and a long-term obligation of $0.7 million related to time deposits, as discussed in Note 5, Interest-Bearing Deposits. We have net subordinated notes of $74.1 million, all of which are long-term obligations. We also have contractual obligations on unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit totaling $578.3 million.

Dividends

A use of liquidity for the Company is shareholder dividends. The Company paid dividends to its shareholders totaling $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

We expect to continue our current practice of paying quarterly cash dividends with respect to our common stock, subject to our board of directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. We believe our quarterly dividend rate per share, as approved by our board of directors, enables us to balance our multiple objectives of managing our business and returning a portion of our earnings to our shareholders. Assuming continued payment during the rest of 2026 at a rate of $0.25 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $5.3 million based on the number of currently outstanding shares if there are no increases or decreases in the number of shares, and given that unvested RSAs share equally in dividends with outstanding common stock.

Impact of Inflation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods or services.

Historical Information

Table 22 summarizes our consolidated cash flow activities.


Table 22: Consolidated Cash Flow Activities
	Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2026		2025		$ Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	18,929	$	15,472	$	3,457
Net cash used in investing activities	(144,346)		(89,338)		55,008
Net cash provided by financing activities	262,925		174,094		88,831

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher net income and no loans originated for sale in the quarter. These sources of cash were partially offset by lower changes in interest payable and other liabilities, purchases of transferable tax credits, and no gross proceeds from sale of loans. Cash provided by operating activities is subject to variability period-over-period as a result of timing differences, including with respect to the collection of receivables and payments of interest expense, accounts payable, and bonuses.

For additional information about our operating results, see “Results of Operations” above.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $55.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher originations of loans held for investment, net of repayments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $88.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in deposits.

Capital Adequacy

We manage our capital by tracking our level and quality of capital with consideration given to our overall financial condition, our asset quality, our level of allowance for credit losses, our geographic and industry concentrations, and other risk factors on our balance sheet, including interest rate sensitivity.

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements as set forth in Tables 23 and 24 can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Under federal regulations implementing the Basel III framework, the Bank is subject to minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements. The Bank is also subject to regulatory thresholds that must be met for an insured depository institution to be classified as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, 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. Capital amounts for Bancorp and the Bank, and the Bank’s prompt corrective action classification, are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings, and other factors. As of March 31, 2026, both Bancorp and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank qualified as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework.

Management reviews capital ratios on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs. For all periods presented, the Bank’s ratios exceed the regulatory

definition of “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, and Bancorp’s ratios exceed the minimum ratios required for it to be considered a well-capitalized bank holding company.

The capital adequacy ratios as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 for Bancorp and the Bank are presented in Tables 23 and 24. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Bancorp’s Tier 2 capital included subordinated notes, which were not included at the Bank level. Eligible amounts of subordinated notes included in Tier 2 capital will be phased out by 20% per year beginning five years before the maturity date of the notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures discussed herein are non-GAAP financial measures. In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes

amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of shareholders’ equity, or statements of cash flows.

Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is defined as total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. Management believes that tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the Company’s financial health based on tangible capital. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets at the end of each of the periods indicated.

Tangible book value per share is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of common shares at the end of the period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. Management believes that tangible book value per share is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the Company’s value and use of equity. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share at the end of each of the periods indicated.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those we use for the non-GAAP financial measures we disclose, but may calculate them differently. You should understand how we and other companies each calculate our non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons.

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments

On March 19, 2026, the federal banking agencies issued several proposals to revise the U.S. regulatory capital framework. The proposals would, among other things, modify aspects of the standardized approach to risk-based capital that applies to the Company, including to make the risk weights for certain residential mortgage exposures more risk-sensitive and decrease the risk weights of corporate exposures, which could affect certain aspects of the Company’s regulatory capital calculations. The Company is continuing to evaluate these proposals and their potential impact on its regulatory capital position.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. As a financial institution, the Company experiences market risk arising primarily from interest rate risk inherent in lending and deposit-taking activities. Because the interest rates on the Company’s assets and liabilities do not necessarily change at the same speed or rate as market interest rates, sudden and/or substantial changes in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings. In particular, the Company’s financial results are sensitive to significant changes in the treasury yield curve, the federal funds rate, and the Wall Street Prime Index.

The Company’s total interest income was $67.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $248.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our total interest expense was $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $97.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Overall, our net interest income was $43.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $151.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Economic value of equity (“EVE”) measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time for a given set of market rate assumptions. An increase in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates an improvement in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet, assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, the Company carried a slightly higher balance of assets than liabilities that will reprice within the next twelve months in the event that interest rates fall.

Our policies and procedures provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. This is overseen and adjusted as needed by our Management Asset Liability Committee on a monthly basis and our Director Asset Liability Committee on a quarterly basis. We have historically managed our sensitivity position within our established guidelines. With the intent of stabilizing or increasing net interest income, management typically deploys the Company’s excess liquidity and seeks to migrate certain earning assets into higher-yielding categories (from investment securities into loans, for example). However, in situations where deposit balances contract, management relies upon various borrowing facilities and/or the use of brokered deposits. The Company monitors the impact of interest rate risk on EVE by reviewing and managing assets and liabilities with varying interest rate risks, such as cash and time deposits. Assets and liabilities are subject to fluctuations at each measurement date based on the composition of the balance sheet at each measurement date. EVE results are compared to previous periods and established policies on a quarterly basis.

As of March 31, 2026, the overnight federal funds rate (the rate used in the interest rate shock scenarios listed below) was 3.64%, remaining constant from December 31, 2025. The scenarios presented assume that interest rates change instantaneously (“shock”) and that there are no significant changes in the structure of the Company’s balance sheet over the twelve months being measured.

Table 25 summarizes the estimated effect on net interest income and EVE from changing interest rates as measured against a flat rate (no interest rate change) instantaneous parallel shock scenario over a twelve-month period utilizing an interest sensitivity (GAP) analysis based on the Company’s specific mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

-300 (shock)	7.08	%	(2.28)	%	9.44	%	8.79	%

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions, which are based upon our experience and published industry experience including, but not limited to, assumptions relating to expected maturities, hypothetical changes in interest rates, decay rates, and deposit betas. Such assumptions may not necessarily reflect the manner or timing in which our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities respond to changes in market rates. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2026. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating and implementing its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.
