•An investment in our common stocksecurities is not an insured deposit.
•Hurricanes or other adverse weather events could disrupt our operations.
Our SBA lending program is dependent upon the federal government. As an SBA Preferred Lender, we enable our clients to obtain SBA loans without being subject to the potentially lengthy SBA approval process necessary for lenders that are not SBA Preferred Lenders. The SBA periodically reviews the lending operations of participating lenders to assess, among other things, whether the lender exhibits prudent risk management. When weaknesses are identified, the SBA may request corrective actions or impose enforcement actions, including revocation of the lender’s Preferred Lender status. If we lose our status as a Preferred Lender, we may lose some or all of our customers to lenders who are SBA Preferred Lenders, and as a result we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial results.condition. Any changes to the SBA program, including changes to the level of guarantee provided by the federal government on SBA loans, may also have a material adverse effect on our business.
We currently anticipate that gains on the sale of loans will comprise a meaningful component of our revenue in 2025.2026. We sellhave historically sold the guaranteed portion of some of our SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market. These sales have resulted in premium income for us at the time of sale and created a stream of future servicing income. We may not be able to continue originating these loans or selling them in the secondary market. Furthermore, even if we are able to continue originating and selling SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market, we might not continue to realize premiums upon the sale of the guaranteed portion of these loans. When we sell the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans, we continue to have credit risk on the non-guaranteed portion of the loans, and if a customer defaults on a loan, we recognize a loss and/or recovery related to the non-guaranteed portion. However, if the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced by us, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Pandemics, natural disasters,disasters (including hurricanes), global climate change, acts of terrorismterrorism, social unrest, and global conflicts may have a negative impact on our business and operations.
Pandemics, natural disasters,disasters (including hurricanes), global climate change, acts of terrorism, social unrest, global conflicts or other similar events have in the past, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our business and operations. These events impact us negatively to the extent that they result in reduced capital markets activity, lower asset price levels, or disruptions in general economic activity in the United States or abroad, or in financial market settlement functions. In addition, these or similar events may impact economic growth negatively, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations and may have other adverse effects on us in ways that we are unable to predict.
The deployment and use of artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business.
We continually evaluate and selectively deploy emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (“AI”), sometimes referred to as AI, and machine learning for incorporation in our business. AI refers to a field of computer science that enables computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, problem-solving, decision-making, and understanding of language. Machine learning is a subset of AI that uses statistical and computational methods to train algorithms so they can learn patterns from data and improve their performance without explicit programming. Generative AI is a subset of AI that uses generative models to create novel content.
The failure to strategically embrace these technologies or to achieve the expected effectiveness, productivity, or cost-reduction from our adoption of these technologies may put us at a competitive disadvantage. If we cannot integrate these technologies into our business as effectively as our competitors, if our competitors develop more cost-effective solutions or other product offerings, or if our employees do not adopt such technologies expediently and prudently, we could experience a material adverse effect on our operating results, customer relationships, and growth opportunities. Our use and deployment of AI solutions may introduce operational and control risks, including the risk of potential errors in automated decision-making, challenges in oversight and accountability, increased vulnerability to system failures or cyber incidents, and the risk that these technologies may not perform as intended under complex or unforeseen circumstances, which could materially disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our financial condition and reputation.
Regulation of AI is rapidly evolving as legislatures and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging technologies. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and cybersecurity, consumer protection, competition, equal opportunity, and fair lending laws, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. AI is the subject of ongoing review by various U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, and various U.S. states are applying, or are considering applying, existing laws and regulations to AI or are considering general legal frameworks for AI. We may not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we may need to expend resources to adjust our operations or offerings in certain jurisdictions if the legal frameworks are inconsistent across jurisdictions.
In addition, the use and development of AI technologies by the us and our third-party vendors, clients, and counterparties may expose us to risks and potential liabilities. These risks may occur as a result of enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, confidentiality or other security risks, intellectual property concerns over data rights and protection, heightened susceptibility to cyberattacks, inaccurate or biased algorithms or underlying datasets, privacy concerns or compliance issues, as well as other factors that could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial results.
Additionally, we may not be able to control how third-party AI solutions that we choose to use are developed or maintained, including the source and quality of the data on which such models are trained or the frequency and nature of model updates. We may also be unable to govern or protect the integrity of the data we input into such tools, with respect to how such data is retained, reused, co-mingled with other data or disclosed.
Increased adoption of AI technologies also has the potential to alter competitive dynamics and demand in certain verticals that make up part of our small-business borrower base, including, for example, certified public accountants and investment advisory firms. If these technologies reduce demand for, or compress margins within, these or other verticals, affected borrowers may experience revenue volatility, fee compression, or client attrition, which could negatively affect their creditworthiness, increase our credit losses, and reduce the demand for our services.
We also rely on vendors and third parties to provide software and other services that are important to the operation of our next-generation banking platform. These services may include or utilize AI and related technologies. Our future strategy and success depend on our ability to access to these technology services and successfully implement them. If this technology is not successfully developed and implemented at our Bank, if we were to lose access to any of this technology, or if we were only able to access the technology on less favorable terms, we would not be able to offer our customers the next-generation banking platform services that we intend to offer, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Cloud technologies, including third-party cloud infrastructure, are also critical to the operation of our systems, and our reliance on cloud technologies continues to grow. Any failure, interruption or breach in security or operational integrity of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our online banking system, customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit and loan servicing and other systems. The security and integrity of our systems and the technology we use, including services and solutions provided by third-party vendors, could be threatened by a variety of interruptions orinterruptions, information security breaches,breaches and other threats, including those caused by computer hacking, cyber-attacks, electronic fraudulent activityactivity, errors or attempted theft of financial assets or information. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies, as well as the increase in remote work, can heighten these and other operational risks. We may fail to promptly identify or adequately address any such failures, interruptions orinterruptions, security breaches and other threats when they occur. While we have certain protective policies and procedures in place, the nature and sophistication of the threats continue to evolve. The increasing sophistication of cyber criminals and their evolving attempts to breach networks present increasing risk of a security breach and other data incidents. We may be required to expend significant additional resources in the future to modify and enhance our protective measures.
The nature of our business may make it an attractive target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions. The technology-based platform we use processes sensitive data from our borrowers, depositors and other customers. While we have taken steps to protect confidential and proprietary information that we have access to, our security measures and the security measures employed by the owners of the technology in the platforms and services that we use can be compromised. DataSecurity incidentsbreaches and other data incidents, including those involving phishing, hacking, misdirected communications and other inadvertent disclosures, and other incidents resultsresulting in unauthorized access to and/or acquisition of confidential and proprietary information, including personal information, can and do occur. Accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our systems can cause confidential customer, borrower, employee, vendor, partner or investor information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or other data incidents involving unauthorized access to confidential information can also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation, and negative publicity. When security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in the technology-based platform that we use are exposed and exploited, our relationships with customers, borrowers, employees, vendors, partners and investors could be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability.
Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we and our partners and collaborators may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.measures, including with respect to cyberthreats posed by emerging technologies, such as AI and quantum computing. In addition, federal regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require companies to notify individuals of data security breaches and other data incidents involving their personal information. Certain security breaches and other data incidents also require notice to regulators, the media, and/or other parties. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach and other data incidents are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause customers, borrowers, employees, vendors, partners or investors to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach or other data incident, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation and could cause us to lose customers, borrowers, employees, vendors, partners, or investors, and could adversely affect our business and operations.
Additionally, we face the risk of operational disruption, failure, termination or capacity constraints of any of the third parties that facilitate our business activities, including exchanges, clearing agents, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. Such parties could also be the source of an attack on, or breach of, our operational systems. Any failures, interruptions orinterruptions, security breaches, or other data incidents, including with respect to our information systems or our vendors’ information systems, or any perception that our security measures are inadequate, could negatively impact our operations, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, result in a violation of privacy or other laws, and expose us to civil litigation, enforcement actions by governmental agencies, regulatory fines or other damages or losses, including those not covered by insurance.
Our business is dependent on the successful and uninterrupted functioning of our information technology and telecommunications systems and third-party providers. The failure of these systems, or the termination of a third-party software license or service agreement on which any of these systems is based, could interrupt our operations. Because our information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third-party systems, we could experience service denials if demand for such services exceeds capacity or such third-party systems fail or experience interruptions. If significant, sustained or repeated, a system failure or service denial could compromise our ability to operate effectively, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, and/or subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny and possible financial liability, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the value of our common stock.securities.
We have identified a material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated appropriately or in a timely manner, could result in a loss of investor confidence and adversely impact the trading price of our securities.
As disclosed in Part II - Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, management has identified a material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024.2025. The Company is currently working to remediate the material weakness.weaknesses. However, there can be no assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful. In addition, these remediation efforts will place a burden on management and may result in additional expenses.
If we are unable to remediate thisthese material weakness,weaknesses, or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within required time periods, could be adversely affected, which could subject us to litigation or investigations requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, result in violations of applicable securities laws, result in an inability to meet NYSE listing requirements, negatively affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements, and adversely impact the trading price of our securities.
We face risks related to the restatement of our financial statements.
In November 2025, we determined to restate the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, in order to restate the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and related notes. As a result, we are subject to additional risks and uncertainties, which could affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may cause reputational harm to our business. We may face potential litigation or other disputes, which may include, among others, claims under federal and state securities laws. In addition, the processes undertaken to effect the restatement may not have been adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements. If one or more of these risks persist, our business, operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, the fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio was approximately $1.25$1.43 billion. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. These factors include, but are not limited to, rating agency actions in respect of the securities, defaults by the issuer or with respect to the underlying securities, monetary taperingpolicy actions by the Federal Reserve, and changes in market interest rates and potential instability in the capital markets. Any of these factors, among others, could cause impairments and realized or unrealized losses in future periods and declines in other comprehensive income, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, as well as the value of our common stock.securities. The process for determining whether a security is reported at the proper carrying amount usually requires complex, subjective judgments about the future financial performance and liquidity of the issuer and any collateral underlying the security in order to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments on the security. Our inability to accurately predict the future performance of an issuer or to efficiently respond to changing market conditions could result in a decline in the value of our investment securities portfolio, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, adjustments to the ACL on available-for-sale investment securities would negatively affect the Company’s earnings and regulatory capital ratios.
We maintain allowances for credit losses on loans, leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The ACL on loans and leases are contra-asset valuation accounts that are deducted from the amortized cost basis of these assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of off-balance-sheet credit exposures, such as committed, but as of yet unfunded loans, the ACL is a liability account reported as an other liability in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on these financial instruments considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As a result, the determination of the appropriate level of ACL inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates related to current and expected future credit risks and trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Continuing deteriorationDeterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers; new information regarding existing loans and loan commitments; and identification of additional problem loans, ratings down-grades and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowances for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our ACL and may require an increase in credit loss expense or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Furthermore, if any charge-offs related to loans or off-balance sheet credit exposures in future periods exceed our allowances for credit losses on loans or off-balance sheet credit exposures, we will need to recognize additional credit loss expense. Any increase in the ACL on loans and/or off-balance sheet credit exposures will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion related to our process for determining the appropriate level of the ACL.
Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities or at a reasonable cost could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could adversely affect our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn, failures of or interruptions to our next-generation banking platform, our lack of access to a traditional branch banking network designed to generate core deposits, and adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. Our access to borrowed funds could become limited in the future, and we may be required to pay above market rates for additional borrowed funds, if we are able to obtain them at all, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The amount of other real estate owned, or OREO, may increase significantly, resulting in additional losses, and costs and expenses that will negatively affect our operations.
In connection with our banking business, we take title to real estate collateral from time to time through foreclosure or otherwise in connection with efforts to collect debts previously contracted. Such real estate is referred to as other real estate owned (“OREO”). As the amount of OREO increases, our losses, and the costs and expenses to maintain the real estate, likewise increase. The amount of OREO we hold may increase due to various economic conditions or other factors. Any additional increase in losses and maintenance costs and other expenses due to OREO may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Such effects may be particularly pronounced in a market of reduced real estate values and excess inventory, which may make the disposition of OREO properties more difficult, increase maintenance costs and other expenses, and reduce our ultimate realization from any OREO sales. In addition, at the time of acquisition of the OREO we are required to reflect its fair market value in our financial statements. If the OREO declines in value subsequent to its acquisition, we are required to recognize a loss. As a result, declines in the value of our OREO will have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had threeeight OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value of $1.9$8.2 million.
Our investments in financial technology companies and initiatives, including our investment in Apiture,initiatives subject us to material financial, reputational and strategic risks.
Our investments in various financial technology companies have had a significant impact on our results of operations, and we anticipate they will continue to have a significant impact on our results of operations in the future. Investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence but not control over the operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For investments accounted for under the equity method, we increase or decrease our investment by our proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss. Those investments where we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the equity security accounting method, where changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes arising from orderly transactions are recognized in net income. We also periodically evaluate our investments for impairment. The results of this testing of our investments for potential impairment may be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including market conditions, general economic conditions and unfavorable changes in the businesses underlying the investments. Impairments or write-downs of these assets may result in charges that adversely affect our results of operations. See “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the subheading entitled “Investments” for more information.
As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of our investment in Apiture was $53.1 million. Apiture's future success will depend on its ability to develop, sell and deliver new or enhanced solutions to financial institution clients; however, these solutions and related services may not be attractive to existing or prospective clients. In addition, promoting, selling and delivering these new and enhanced solutions may require increasingly costly sales, marketing and implementation efforts. We also anticipate that Apiture will face challenges from its current competitors, which in many cases are more established and enjoy greater resources than it does, as well as by new entrants into the industry. If Apiture is not able to successfully execute its business plan, then the value of our investment in Apiture could decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Apiture’s digital banking solution requires sophisticated software and computing systems that may encounter development delays or software defects. Defects in Apiture’s software offerings or delays in the development of such software could result in unforeseen costs, diversion of technical and other resources, loss of credibility with existing and potential clients or reputational harm, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
OurWe subsidiaryinvest, Canapi Advisors was an investment advisor to Canapi Ventures, a series of funds focused on providing venture capital to newdirectly and emerging financial technology companies. Canapi Ventures investsindirectly, in early to growth-stage companies that may include companies that utilize advanced science, technology, engineering and/or mathematicsmathematics, including AI technologies, to innovate in the financial technology market. Investments in these companies involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. These companies may be unseasoned, unprofitable or have no established operating histories or earnings and may lack technical, marketing, financial and other resources. These companies often have the need for substantial additional capital to support expansion or to achieve or maintain a competitive position. Less established companies tend to have lower capitalization and fewer resources and, therefore, are often more vulnerable to financial failure. These companies may be dependent upon the success of one product or service, a unique distribution channel, or the effectiveness of a manager or management team. The failure of this one product, service or distribution channel, or the loss or ineffectiveness of a key executive or executives within the management team may have a materially adverse impact on such companies. Such companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, AI, manufacturing, marketing and service capabilitiescapabilities, and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel.
Many of the financial technology companies in which we invest directly present risks similar to those in which Canapi Ventures invests. The possibility that the companies in which we and Canapi Ventures invest will not be able to commercialize their technology or product concept presents significant risk to our business operations and financial results. These companies tend to lack management depth, to have limited or no history of operations and to not have attained profitability. Additionally, although some of these companies may already have a commercially successful product or product line at the time of investment, technology products and services often have a more limited market or life span than products in other industries. Thus, the ultimate success of these companies may depend on their ability to continually innovate in increasingly competitive markets. Most of the companies in which we and Canapi Ventures invest will require substantial additional equity financing to satisfy their continuing growth and working capital requirements. Each round of venture financing is typically intended to provide a company with enough capital to reach the next stage of development. The circumstances or market conditions under which such companies will seek additional capital is unpredictable. It is possible that one or more of such companies will not be able to raise additional financing or may be able to do so only at a price or on terms which are unfavorable.
The equity securities of the companies in which we and Canapi Ventures invest are at the time of acquisition unmarketable and illiquid, and there can be no assurance that a ready market for these securities will ever exist. Such securities generally cannot be sold publicly without prior agreement with the issuer to register the securities under the Securities Act or by selling such securities under Rule 144 or other provisions of the Securities Act which permit only limited sales under specified conditions. We generally will realize the value of such securities only if the issuer is able to make an initial public offering of its shares or enters into a business combination with another company which purchases our equity securities for cash or exchanges them for publicly traded securities of the acquirer. The feasibility of such transactions depends upon the company's financial results as well as general economic and equity market conditions. Furthermore, even if the equity securities owned become publicly traded, our ability to sell such securities may be limited by the lack of, or limited nature of, a trading market for such securities. There can be no assurance that the value at which we carry these assets will necessarily reflect the amount which could be realized upon a sale or other liquidity event.
As of January 31, 2025,2026, our directors and executive officers and their related entities own, in the aggregate, approximately 23.3%22.4% of our outstanding common stock. The significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. In addition, these shareholders will be able to exercise influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of the Company or its assets. This concentration of ownership could limit the ability of other shareholders to influence corporate matters and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, including a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change in control would benefit our other shareholders. For information regarding the ownership of our outstanding stocksecurities by our executive officers and directors and related entities, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters” in this Report.
Our financial condition and results of operations are affected by credit policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve. Actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve, could have an adverse effect on our deposit levels, loan demand, or business and earnings, as well as the value of our common stock.securities.
Although we comply with all current applicable capital requirements, we may be subject to more stringent regulatory capital requirements in the future, and we may need additional capital in order to meet those requirements. If we or the Bank fail to meet applicable minimum capital requirements or cease to be well capitalized, such failure would cause us and the Bank to be subject to regulatory restrictions and could adversely affect customer confidence, our ability to grow, our costs of funds and FDIC insurance costs, our ability to pay dividends on common or preferred stock and/or repurchase shares, our ability to make acquisitions, and our business, results of operations and financial condition, generally.
Various federal banking laws and regulations, including rules adopted by the Federal Reserve pursuant to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, impose additional requirements on bank holding companies with total assets of at least $10 billion. In addition, banks with total assets of at least $10 billion are primarily examined by the CFPB with respect to federal consumer protection laws and regulations.regulations, however, there is currently uncertainty surrounding the ongoing operations of the CFPB. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company and the Bank each first exceeded $10 billion in total assets. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the Company and the Bank had total assets of $12.94$15.13 billion and $12.86$15.06 billion, respectively. As a result, we are subject to additional requirements including, but not limited to, establishing a dedicated risk committee of our Board, calculating our FDIC deposit insurance assessment using the large bank pricing rule and more frequent regulatory examinations. We have incurred significant expenses in connection with these compliance obligations and expect to continue to incur expenses to address heightened regulatory requirements. These additional regulatory requirements and increased compliance expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition andcondition, results of operations.operations, and the value of our securities.
We are subject to significant anti-money laundering, “know your customer” and other regulations under applicable law, including the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act, and we could become subject in the future to additional regulatory requirements beyond those that are currently adopted, proposed or contemplated. We expect that federal and state bank regulators will continue to increase their oversight, inspection and investigatory role over our deposit operations and the financial services industry generally.operations. Furthermore, we intend to further increase our deposit product offerings and grow our customer deposit portfolio in the future and, as a result, we are, and will continue to be, subject to heightened compliance and operating costs that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, legal and regulatory proceedings and other contingencies will arise from time to time that may have an adverse effect on our business practices and results of operations.
Similarly, inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led in the past and may lead in the future to a decline in the fair value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Any sale of investment securities that are held in an unrealized loss position by financial institutions for liquidity or other purposes will cause actual losses to be realized. There can be no assurance that there will not be bank failures or issues such as liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry or in the U.S. financial system as a whole. Adverse financial market and economic conditions can exert downward pressure on stock prices, security prices, and credit availability for financial institutions without regard to their underlying financial strength.
Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the events described above, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition andcondition, results of operations.operations, and the value of our securities.

Although we have historically paid cash dividends,dividends to the holders of our common stock, there is no assurance that we will continue to pay such cash dividends. Future payment of cash dividends,dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, economic conditions, and such other factors as the board may deem relevant.
The Company’s common stock is subordinate to the Company’s existing and future preferred stock.
The Company has outstanding Series A preferred stock that is senior to the Company’s common stock and could adversely affect the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on common stock. Under the terms of the Series A preferred stock, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock unless all full dividends for the latest dividend period on all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock have been declared and paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those dividends has been set aside. Furthermore, if the Company experiences a material deterioration in its financial condition, liquidity, capital, results of operations or risk profile, the Company’s regulators may not permit it to make future payments on its Series A preferred stock, thereby preventing the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock.

The banking business is highly competitive, and we experience strong competition from many other financial institutions, including some of the largest commercial banks headquartered in the country, as well as other federally and state chartered financial institutions such as community banks and credit unions, finance and business development companies, commercial and consumer finance companies, peer-to-peer and marketplace lenders, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and mutual fundsfunds, fintech lenders, and other non-bank lenders.
We compete with these institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans, primarily on the basis of the interest rates we pay and yield on these products. We also compete with these institutions in our other business lines, including wealth management. Many of our competitors are well-established, much larger financial institutions. While we believe we can successfully compete with these other lenders in our industry verticals, we may face a competitive disadvantage as a result of our smaller size. Furthermore, nothing would prevent our competitors from developing or licensing a technology-based platform similar to the technology-based platform we currently use in our business. In addition, many of our non-bank competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. We expect competition to continue to intensify due to financial institution consolidation, legislative, regulatory and technological changes, including advances in AI and automation, and the emergence of alternative banking sources.

The Company generates revenue primarily from net interest income and secondarily through the origination and sale of government guaranteed loans. Income from the retention of loans consists principally of interest income. Income from the sale of loans consistsis comprised of loan servicing revenue and revaluation of related servicing assets along with net gains on sales of loans. Offsetting these revenues are the cost of funding sources, provision for credit losses, any costs related to foreclosed assets and other operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, travel, professional services, advertising and marketing and tax expense. The Company also has less routinely generated gains and losses arising from its financial technology investments.

The Company reported net income attributable to Livecommon Oak Bancshares, Inc.shareholders of $102.8 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for 2025 compared to $77.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for 2024 compared to $73.9 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, for 2023.2024.
•Increased net gains on sales of loans of $14.4$12.7 million, or 30.8%,25.4%, principally the result of higher loan sale volumes combined with improving premiums in 20242025;
•Increased equity method investments income of $28.3 million, largely comprised of a $24.1 million gain arising from the sale of the Company’s interest in Apiture, Inc.
•Increased other noninterest income of $14.0 million, largely related to the combination of a $2.4 million gain from the sale of a building in the third quarter of 2024, a $6.7 million gain arising from the sale of one of the Company’s aircraft in the second quarter of 2024 and a $5.7 million gain in the first quarter of 2024 arising from the increased fair value of a certain equity warrant asset.

For 2024,2025, net interest income increased $30.6$72.5 million, or 8.9%,19.3%, to $448.4 million compared to $375.9 million compared to $345.3 million for 2023.2024. This increase was principally due to the growth in the held for investment loan and lease portfolio outpacing growth in interest-bearing liabilities offset by an increase in average cost of funds which exceeded the increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.liabilities. Average interest-earning assets increased by $1.20$2.10 billion, or 11.6%,18.2%, to $13.59 billion for 2025, compared to $11.50 billion for 2024, compared to $10.30 billion for 2023, while the yield on average interest-earning assets increaseddecreased by 39 basis points to 7.07%.6.68%. The cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities for 20242025 increaseddecreased 52by 39 basis points to 4.11%,3.72%, and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $1.08$1.73 billion, or 11.3%,16.3%, over 2023. The increase in cost of funds was largely influenced by repricing of short-term certificates of deposit with the average cost of funds increasing from 3.31% in 2023 to 4.17% for in 2024.
The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was largely driven by funding for significant loan originations and growth as well as maintenance of the Company's target liquidity profile. As indicated in the rate/volume table below, the overall increase discussed above is reflected in increased interest income of $124.1$96.1 million outpacing growth in interest expense of $93.5$23.6 million for 20242025 compared to 2023.2024. The net interest margin decreasedslightly increased from 3.35% for 2023 to 3.27% for 2024.2024 to 3.30% for 2025.
In January 2025,2026, the Federal Reserve decided to maintain the federal funds upper target rate at 4.5%.3.75%. The Federal Reserve released its most current federal funds target rate midpoint projections at its previous meeting in December 20242025 which implied a decrease of approximately 5025 basis points to 3.9%3.4% by the end of 2025.2026 and a decrease of approximately 25 basis points to 3.1% by the end of 2027. There can be no assurance that any further decreases or increases in the Federal Funds rate will occur, and if they do, the amount and timing of actual adjustments are subject to change. See “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for information about the Company’s sensitivity to interest rates.
The provision for credit losses represents the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans and leases at a level that the Company believes is appropriate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the expense related to off-balance sheet credit exposures was also included in the provision for credit losses in response to growth in the amount of loans with applicable off-balance sheet credit risk. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report under the subheading Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures for additional information.
The provision for credit losses was $96.3 million in 2025, relatively flat compared to $96.2 million in 2024, with an increase of $91 thousand.
For 2024, the provision for credit losses was $96.2 million compared to $51.3 million in 2023, an increase of $44.9 million. The 2024 increase in provision was primarily the result of record loan growth combined with the impacts of the current macroeconomic environment, which adversely affected some borrowers’ performance.
Net charge-offs for loans and leases carried at historical cost were $46.7$68.8 million, or 0.52%0.63% of average loans and leases held for investment at amortized cost, excluding loans measured at fair value, for 2024,2025, compared to net charge-offs of $21.4$46.7 million, or 0.28%,0.52%, for 2023,2024, an increase of $25.3$22.1 million, or 118.5%.47.3%. The increase in net charge-offs for 2024 was primarily related to an increase in activity within five verticals, Search Fund Lending, General Lending, Government Contracting, Community Facilities and Wine & Craft Beverage. The increase2025 was largely dueconcentrated to theindividually highevaluated interestloans ratewith environmentspecific andreserves inflationaryrecorded pressures,in whichprior increased financial strain on borrowers.periods. Net charge-offs are a key element of historical experience in the Company's estimation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.
For 2024,2025, noninterest income increased by $12.0$16.8 million, or 10.8%,14.9%, compared to 2023.2024. The increase over the prior year is primarily a result of higher servicing revenue of $4.1$3.4 million, increased net gains on sales of loans of $14.4$12.7 million, a $5.9$28.3 million increasein inincreased equity method investments income, largely associated with the netearlier mentioned gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option and increased other noninterest income of $14.0 million. The increase in other noninterest income was largely related to the previously mentioned $2.4 million gainarising from the sale of athe buildingCompany’s interest in theApiture, thirdInc. quarter of 2024 combined withand a $6.7$5.2 million increase in equity security investments gains largely driven by a $9.0 million gain arising from the sale of one of the Company’s aircraft in the second quarter of 2024 and a $5.7portfolio million gain in the first quarter of 2024 arising from the increased fair value of a certain equity warrant asset.investment. Partially offsetting the increase in total noninterest income over the prior year-to-date period werewas highera losses of $17.0$3.9 million increase in loss related to the servicing asset revaluation,revaluation $4.9combined million in higher flow-through losses of equity method investments andwith a $5.7$7.7 million decrease in management fee income due to the restructuring of the Canapi Funds in the third quarter of 2024.2024 and a $20.2 million decrease in other noninterest income. The decrease in other noninterest income was largely due to fair value losses in equity warrant assets in 2025 of $5.5 million compared to 2024 higher income related to a $2.4 million gain from the sale of a building, a $6.7 million gain arising from an aircraft sale and a $5.7 million fair value gain in equity warrant assets.
Loan Servicing Asset Revaluation: The Company revalues its serviced loan portfolio at least quarterly. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as adequate compensation for servicing, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses, with prepayment speed and discount rate being the most sensitive assumptions. For 2024,2025, there was a net loss on loan servicing asset revaluation of $12.2$16.1 million compared to a net gainloss of $4.9$12.2 million for 2023,2024, resulting in a negative change of $17.0$3.9 million. The negative change in valuation of the servicing asset compared to 20232024 was principally the result of theprincipal thirdpaydowns quarteror ofrunoff 2023as changewell as less favorable market conditions in valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of servicing rights.2025.
The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed and discount rate assumptions typically have the most significant impacts on the fair value of servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates rise on variable rate loans, loan prepayments increase due to an increase in refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of servicing assets, however, weakening economic conditions or significant declines in interest rates can also increase loan prepayment activity. The discount rate used in the estimation process is tied to a benchmark risk-free rate with a risk premium added using a build-up method. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different time.
At December 31, 2024, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Company’s servicing rights included a weighted average prepayment speed equal to 15.6% and a weighted average discount rate equal to 13.5%. The table below reflects the sensitivity of the current fair value of servicing assets to immediate adverse changes in the above key assumptions with all other assumptions remaining static:
The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another.
See Note 5. Servicing Assets in the notes to consolidated financial statements for further details of the factors considered by the Company in estimating the fair value of servicing assets.
Net Gains on Sales of Loans: For 2024,2025, net gains on sales of loans increased $14.4$12.7 million, or 30.8%,25.4%, compared to 2023.2024. The volume of guaranteed loans sold increased $103.4$201.9 million, or 11.8%,20.6%, over 20232024 while the average net gain on loan sale premium increasedremained fromstable 105% toat 107% in 2023both 2024 and 2024,2025, respectively. The increase in net gains on sales of loans over 20232024 was principally related to a higher loan sale volume combined with improving premium.volume.
Net Gain (Loss) on Loans Accounted for Under the Fair Value Option: For 2024,2025, the Company had a net gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option of $2.4$1.2 million compared to a net lossgain of $3.5$2.4 million for 2023,2024, a positivenegative change of $5.9$1.2 million. The carrying amount of loans accounted for under the fair value option at December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 was $328.7$260.6 million (all classified as held for investment) and $388.0$328.7 million (all classified as held for investment), respectively, a decrease of $59.3$68.1 million, or 15.3%.20.7%.

Total noninterest expense for 20242025 decreasedincreased $8.6$35.6 million, or 2.7%,11.7%, compared to 2023.2024. The decreaseincrease in noninterest expense was predominately driven by the following items.
Renewable energy tax credit investment impairment: Renewable energy tax credit investment impairment decreased $14.1 million which was the result of a renewable energy tax credit investment in the fourth quarter of 2023 which resulted in $14.6 million in impairment charges during that year. Investments of this type generate a return primarily through the realization of income tax credits and other benefits; accordingly, impairment of the investment amount is recognized in conjunction with the realization of related tax benefits FDIC insurance: FDIC insurance decreased $5.8 million, or 35.0%, compared to 2023. This decrease is largely the product of favorable changes in the Company’s FDIC assessment rates in 2024.
OtherTechnology expense: OtherTechnology expense decreasedincreased $4.7$8.7 million, or 27.6%,25.6%, compared to 2023.the same period in 2024. This decreaseincrease was largelyprimarily related to reservesenhanced for unfunded commitments, historically being presented in other expense. Beginninginvestments in the secondCompany’s quartertechnology of 2024, this expense was classified in the provision for credit losses.resources.
FDIC insurance: FDIC insurance assessment expense increased $3.8 million, or 35.4%, compared to 2024. This increase is largely the product of the Company’s continued growth combined with increased FDIC assessment rates.
Other expense: Other expense increased $5.8 million, or 47.0%, compared to 2024. The increase was principally driven by a $1.5 million special charitable donation during the fourth quarter of 2025 made in connection with the earlier discussed Apiture gain combined with a $2.8 million loss arising from the early buyout of the Company's sole bioenergy lease in the second quarter of 2025.
Income tax expense and related effective tax rate in 20242025 was $37.2 million and 26.0% compared to $11.8 million and 13.2% compared to $8.9 million and 10.8% in 2023.2024. The higher level of income tax expense forin 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarilylargely the result of lowerincreased levelspretax income in 2025 and $10.6 million in tax credits related to the Company's fourth quarter of anticipated2023 renewable energy investment that became eligible for an extra 10% in tax credits in 2024 as compared to the priorfirst year.quarter of 2024.
Total assets at December 31, 20242025 were $12.94$15.13 billion, an increase of $1.67$2.19 billion, or 14.8%,16.9%, compared to total assets of $11.27$12.94 billion at December 31, 2023.2024. The growth in total assets was principally driven by the growth in total loans and leases held for investment and held for sale of $1.60$1.81 billion, or 18.5%,17.1%, in 2025, from $8.63$10.58 billion at December 31, 2023,2024 to $10.23$12.39 billion at December 31, 2024.2025. This growth was a result of strong origination activity during 2025 of $6.21 billion.
Borrowings increased to $112.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $23.4 million at December 31, 2023. This increase was principally due to entering into a new loan agreement in the first quarter of 2024 to strategically enhance Bank capital levels in order to accommodate future growth expectations. See Note 8. Borrowings in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of current sources of available debt capacity.

Regulatory Impact of Asset Growth
General. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company and the Bank each first exceeded $10 billion in total assets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank each had total assets of $12.94 billion and $12.86 billion. The Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations impose various additional requirements on bank holding companies and banks with $10 billion or more in total consolidated asset Consumer Financial Laws. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has near-exclusive supervision authority, including examination authority, to assess compliance with federal consumer financial laws for a bank and its affiliates if the bank has total assets of more than $10 billion. This provision becomes applicable to a bank following the fourth consecutive quarter where the total assets of the bank, as reported in its quarterly Call Report, exceed $10 billion and afterwards remains applicable to the bank unless the bank has reported total assets of $10 billion or less in its quarterly Call Report for four consecutive quarters. This provision became applicable to the Bank in the first quarter of 2024.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. Also under the Dodd-Frank Act, the DIF reserve ratio was increased from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent and the FDIC is required, in setting deposit insurance assessments, to offset the effect of the increase on institutions with assets of less than $10 billion, which results in institutions with assets greater than $10 billion paying higher assessments. In addition, following the fourth consecutive quarter where the total assets of a bank exceeds $10 billion, as reported in its quarterly Call Report, the FDIC utilizes a different method for determining deposit insurance assessments. This large bank method is based on a bank’s ability to withstand asset- and funding-related stress, its regulatory ratings, and potential losses to the FDIC in the event of the bank’s failure, subject to discretionary adjustments by the FDIC. The Bank became subject to the large bank method for determining its deposit insurance assessments in 2024.
Volcker Rule. Under provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act referred to as the “Volcker Rule,” certain limitations are placed on the ability of insured depository institutions and their affiliates to engage in sponsoring, investing in and transacting with certain investment funds, known as “covered funds” under the rule. There are a number of exclusions from the definition of “covered funds,” including for investments in Small Business Investment Companies, or SBICs, and certain qualifying venture capital funds. The Volcker Rule also places restrictions on proprietary trading, which could impact certain hedging activities.
Limits on Interchange Fees. The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act gave the Federal Reserve Board the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by a payment card issuer that, together with its affiliates, has assets of $10 billion or more, as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted rules under this provision that limit the swipe fees that a debit card issuer can charge a merchant for a transaction to the sum of 21 cents and five basis points times the value of the transaction, plus up to one cent for fraud prevention costs. The Bank exceeded $10 billion in assets at December 31, 2023. This triggered a reduction of annual pre-tax income from debit card interchange fees beginning July 1, 2024. Additional information regarding the Durbin Amendment is presented in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
At December 31, 2024,2025, $3.75$5.00 billion, or 36.6%,41.6%, of loans held for investment, including those at fair value, maturesmature in less than five years. Loans and leases maturing in greater than five years total $6.51$7.01 billion of the total $10.26$12.01 billion. The variable rate portion of the total held for investment loans and leases is 87.9%,90.8%, which reflects the Company’s strategy to minimize interest rate risk through the use of variable rate products.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, and December 31, 2023,2024, potential problem (also referred to as criticized) and classified loans and leases, excluding loans measured at fair value, totaled $1.04$1.39 billion and $785.2$1.04 million,billion, respectively. The following is a discussion of these loans and leases. Risk Grades 50 through 80 represent the spectrum of criticized and classified loans and leases. For a complete description of the risk grading system, see “Credit Quality Indicators” in Note 3 to the notes to consolidated financial statements.statements included in Item 8 of this Report. At December 31, 2024,2025, the portion of criticized and classified loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA totaled $669.8 million and total portfolio unguaranteed exposure risk was $719.9 million, or 8.6% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost. This compares to the December 31, 2024 portion of criticized and classified loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA which totaled $518.7 million and total portfolio unguaranteed exposure risk was $523.3 million, or 7.8% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost. This compares to the December 31, 2023 portion of criticized and classified loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA which totaled $344.8 million and total portfolio unguaranteed exposure risk was $440.3 million, or 8.3% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost.

Loans and leases that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are generally not individually evaluated for the purpose of estimating the allowance for credit losses. The Bank generally considers an “insignificant period of time” from payment delays to be a period of 90 days or less. The Bank would consider a modification for a customer experiencing what is expected to be a short-term event that has temporarily impacted cash flow. This could be due, among other reasons, to illness, weather, impact from a one-time expense, slower than expected start-up, construction issues or other short-term issues. Credit personnel will review the request to determine if the customer is experiencing financial stress and how the event has impacted the ability of the customer to repay the loan or lease long term. At December 31, 2024,2025, the Company had a total of $26.5$119.5 million in loans modified in 20242025 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, excluding loans measured at fair value,value. allOf ofthe which$119.5 million in loans modified, $116.2 million remained current and none of whichthe are$119.5 onmillion, principal$105.3 million were for an other-than-insignificant payment deferral.delay or term extension.
Management endeavors to be proactive in its approach to identify and resolve problem loans and leases and is focused on working with the borrowers and guarantors of these loans and leases to provide loan and lease modifications when warranted. Management implements a proactive approach to identifying and classifying loans and leases as special mention (also referred to as criticized), Risk Grade 50. At December 31, 2024,2025, and December 31, 2023,2024, Risk Grade 50 loans and leases, excluding loans measured at fair value, totaled $529.9$727.2 million and $599.2$529.9 million, respectively, for a year-over-year decreaseincrease of $69.3$197.3 million. Relative to total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost at December 31, 20232024 and 2024,2025, unguaranteed Risk Grade 50 loans and leases decreasedincreased from $364.4 million, or 6.9%, to $357.9 million, or 5.3%, to $465.7 million, or 5.5%, respectively. The increase in unguaranteed Risk Grade 50 loans and leases was primarily driven by idiosyncratic credit migration of several larger individual exposures into Risk Grade 50, reflecting borrower-specific performance considerations and credit actions, rather than a broad-based deterioration linked to the macroeconomic environment.
The decreasechange in Risk Grade 50 loans and leases, exclusive of loans measured at fair value, during 20242025 was principally confined to 13 verticals, as reflected above. The primary driver for the decline in Risk Grade 50 loans and leases was a migration to improvement within the Senior Housing portfolio coupled with two large Bioenergy relationships moving to classified status in the third quarter of 2024.

Management continues to actively monitor and work to improve asset quality. Management believes the ACL of $167.5$192.3 million at December 31, 20242025 is appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current and expected events that it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be valid. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the ACL, thus adversely affecting the Company’s operating results. Additional information on the ACL is presented in “Note 3. Loans and Leases Held for Investment and Credit Quality” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this report.

This increase was principally due to the growth in the held for investment loan and lease portfolio outpacing growth in interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets increased by $1.89 billion, or 14.5%, to $14.95 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $13.06 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, while the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 33 basis points to 6.42%.

The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was largely driven by funding for significant loan originations and growth as well as maintenance of the Company's target liquidity profile. As indicated in the rate/volume analysis below, the overall increase discussed above is reflected in increased interest income of $38.2 million outpacing growth in interest expense of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The increase in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026 was largely concentrated to individually evaluated loans with specific reserves recorded in prior periods. Net charge-offs are a key element of historical experience in the Company's estimation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.11.8%.
In addition, nonperforming loans and leases not guaranteed by the SBA or USDA, excluding $6.9$6.6 million and $9.9$8.9 million accounted for under the fair value option at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, totaled $116.8$124.3 million, which was 0.98%1.00% of the held for investment loan and lease portfolio carried at historical cost at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $99.9$59.6 million, or 0.96%0.56% of loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost at MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
Noninterest income is principally comprised of net gains from the sale of SBA and USDA-guaranteed loans along with loan servicing revenue and related revaluation of the servicing asset. Revenue from the sale of loans depends upon the volume, maturity structure and rates of underlying loans as well as the pricing and availability of funds in the secondary markets prevailing in the period between completed loan funding and closing of sale. In addition, the loan servicing revaluation is significantly impacted by changes in market rates and other underlying assumptions such as prepayment speeds and default rates. Net gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option is also significantly impacted by changes in market rates, prepayment speeds and inherent credit risk. Other less consistent elements of noninterest income include gains and losses on investments.
For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, noninterest income increased by $3.7$352 thousand and $4.1 million, or 16.6%,1.2% and 7.7% respectively, compared to the prior three monthsand endedsix Marchmonth 31,periods in 2025. PrincipalThis changesincrease whenfor comparedboth withperiods thewas first quarter of 2025 are a $1.2 million decrease in loss relateddue to the servicing asset revaluation combined with a $1.4 million decrease in equity method investment losses, principallylosses associated with cessation of flow-through losses from Apiture, Inc. which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2025. This transaction increased noninterest income in the second quarter and first half of 2026 by $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, when compared with the prior three and six month periods of 2025.
The following tables reflectsreflect loan and lease production, sales of guaranteed loans and the aggregate balance in guaranteed loans sold. These components are key drivers of the Company's noninterest income.
Change in Loan Servicing Asset Revaluation: The Company revalues its serviced loan portfolio at least quarterly. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as adequate compensation for servicing, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses, with prepayment speed and discount rate being the most sensitive assumptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was a net loss on loan servicing asset revaluation of $3.5 million, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The positive change in valuation of the servicing asset compared to the first quarter of 2025 was principally the result of improved market conditions in 2026.
Total noninterest expense for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, decreased $697 thousand, or 0.8%, and increased $4.5$3.8 million, or 5.6%,2.3%, compared to the same periodperiods in 2025. The changes within noninterest expense for the comparable three and six month periods was largely driven by components,components discussed below.
Salaries and employee benefits: Total personnel expense for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increased by $3.8$2.8 million, or 8.4%,6.0%, and $6.6 million, or 7.2%, compared to the same periodperiods in 2025.2025, respectively. The increase over theboth firstcomparative three monthsperiods of 2025 is principally related to investment in human resources to support strategic and growth initiatives. Salaries and employee benefits expense included $6.9$7.4 million and $14.2 million of stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, compared to $6.8$6.9 million and $13.7 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 30, 2025, respectively. Expenses related to the employee stock purchase program, stock grants, stock option compensation and restricted stock expense are all considered stock-based compensation.
Other loan originationAdvertising and maintenancemarketing expense: For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, other loan originationadvertising and maintenancemarketing expense increaseddecreased $1.3$1.7 million, or 29.1%,38.1%, and $2.3 million, or 28.4%, compared to the same periodperiods in 2025. ThisThe increasedecrease was primarilylargely related to maintenancelower levels of thepromotional Company's ongoing growth in the guaranteed loan portfolio.spending.
Other loan origination and maintenance expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, other loan origination and maintenance expense increased $674 thousand, or 16.1%, and $2.0 million, or 22.9%, compared to the same periods in 2025. This increase was primarily related to maintenance of the Company's ongoing growth in the guaranteed loan portfolio.
FDIC insurance: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, FDIC insurance increased $1.2 million, or 35.1%, and $2.1 million, or 29.5%, compared to the same periods in 2025. This increase is largely the product of the Company’s continued growth combined with increased FDIC assessment rates.
Other expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, other expense decreased $3.3 million, or 54.0%, and $3.2 million, or 36.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease over both comparative periods was principally driven by a $2.8 million loss arising from the early buyout of the Company's sole bioenergy lease in the second quarter of 2025.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, income tax expense was $10.1$9.1 million compared to income tax expense of $3.5$7.8 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2025, and the Company’s effective tax rates were 25.3%19.9% and 26.4%,25.0%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, income tax expense was $19.3 million compared to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the Company’s effective tax rates were 22.4% and 25.4%, respectively. The higher level of income tax expense forover theboth firstcomparative quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025periods was largely the result of heightened pretax income during the current period.year, partially offset by a $2.1 million benefit associated with tax credit purchases during the second quarter of 2026.
MarchJune 31,30, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025
Total assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were $15.30$16.04 billion, an increase of $165.3$903.4 million, or 1.1%,6.0%, compared to total assets of $15.13 billion at December 31, 2025. The growth in total assets was principally driven by total loans and leases held for investment and held for sale increasing by $199.9$749.0 million, or 1.6%,6.0%, in 2026, from $12.39 billion at December 31, 2025 to $12.59$13.14 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. This growth was a result of strong origination activity during the first quarterhalf of 2026 of $1.37$2.92 billion.
Total deposits were $13.84$14.55 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, an increase of $146.4$858.9 million, or 1.1%,6.3%, from $13.69 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in total deposits from the prior period was to support growth in the loan and lease portfolio as well as the Company's targeted liquidity levels. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Bank’s total uninsured deposits were approximately $2.38$2.44 billion, or 17.0%,16.6%, of total deposits.
Total shareholders' equity was $1.28$1.32 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, an increase of $27.7$62.8 million, or 2.2%,5.0%, from $1.25 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in total shareholders' equity from the prior period was largely due to net income of $29.9$66.7 million combined with net share-based compensation activity of $3.9 million, offset by other comprehensive loss of $2.7 million and cash dividends of $2.1 million and $1.4 million related to preferred and common stock shares, respectively.million.
Commercial real estate loans as indicated by the FDIC include loans secured by the following: construction, land development, multifamily property and nonfarm, nonresidential real property. The following table provides information with respect to commercial real estate loans as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Total nonperforming assets, including loans measured at fair value, at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were $519.0$542.5 million, which represented a $53.1$29.7 million, or 9.3%,5.2%, decrease from December 31, 2025. These nonperforming assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were comprised of $507.0$531.5 million in nonaccrual loans and leases and $12.0$11.0 million in foreclosed assets. Of the $519.0$542.5 million of nonperforming assets, $391.0$407.2 million carried a government guarantee, leaving an unguaranteed exposure of $128.0$135.3 million in total nonperforming assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. This represents an increase of $16.8$24.1 million, or 15.1%,21.6%, from an unguaranteed exposure of $111.2 million at December 31, 2025.
Nonperforming assets, excluding loans measured at fair value, at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were $456.2$481.8 million, which represented a $53.2$27.6 million, or 10.4%,5.4%, decrease from December 31, 2025. These nonperforming assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were comprised of $444.2$470.8 million in nonaccrual loans and leases and $12.0$11.0 million in foreclosed assets. Of the $456.2$481.8 million of nonperforming assets, $336.1$354.4 million carried a government guarantee, leaving an unguaranteed exposure of $120.1$127.4 million in total nonperforming assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. This represents an increase of $17.3$24.6 million, or 16.9%,23.9%, from an unguaranteed exposure of $102.8 million at December 31, 2025.
As a percentage of the Bank’s total capital, nonperforming loans and leases, excluding loans measured at fair value, represented 33.6%34.2% at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to 39.0% at December 31, 2025. Adjusting the ratio to include only the unguaranteed portion of nonperforming loans and leases at historical cost to reflect management’s belief that the greater magnitude of risk resides in this portion, the ratios at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 8.8%9.0% and 7.9%, respectively.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, potential problem (also referred to as criticized or Risk Grade 50) and classified loans and leases, excluding loans measured at fair value, totaled $1.33$1.23 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively. The following is a discussion of these loans and leases. Risk Grades 50 through 80 represent the spectrum of criticized and classified loans and leases. For a complete description of the risk grading system, see “Credit Quality Indicators” in Note 3 in the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the portion of criticized and classified loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA totaled $653.4$628.9 million and total portfolio unguaranteed exposure risk was $680.8$601.6 million, or 7.9%6.5% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost. This compares to the December 31, 2025 portion of criticized and classified loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA which totaled $669.8 million and total portfolio unguaranteed exposure risk was $719.9 million, or 8.6% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure carried at historical cost.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans and leases carried at historical cost within the following verticals comprise the largest portion of the total potential problem and classified loans and leases:
Of the above listed verticals, Senior Housing, Sponsor Finance, Bioenergy, ABL General, and Solar Energy are within the Company’s Commercial Banking division, the remainder of the above listed verticals are within the Small Business Banking division. The total $55.4$159.1 million decrease in potential problem and classified loans and leases in the first threesix months of 2026 was comprised of $15.5$82.8 million in increaseddecreased levels of Risk Grade 50 loans and leases, as discussed belowbelow, and $70.9$76.4 million in decreased levels of classified loans. The overall decrease in classified loans in the first quarterhalf of 2026 was primarilylargely driven by one $84.9 million Renewable Energy relationship that was moved out of loans resulting in no losses in the first quarter due to the combination of a sale and related government guarantee. The remainder of the changeoverall (increase)decrease is due to isolated borrower-specific credit migrations, including movement of several larger individual exposures and isolated industries into classified status based on performance trends identified through ongoing credit reviews. These changes largely reflect the effects of normal growth and isolated borrower performance migrations rather than any systemic credit deterioration. The Company believes that its underwriting and credit quality standards have remained high and continues to consider changing economic conditions as well as the current interest rate environment.
Loans and leases that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are generally not individually evaluated for the purpose of estimating the allowance for credit losses. The Bank generally considers an “insignificant period of time” from payment delaysdeferrals to be a period of 90 days or less. The Bank would consider a modification for a customer experiencing what is expected to be a short-term event that has temporarily impacted cash flow. This could be due, among other reasons, to illness, weather, impact from a one-time expense, slower than expected start-up, construction issues or other short-term issues. Credit personnel will review the request to determine if the customer is experiencing financial stress and how the event has impacted the ability of the customer to repay the loan or lease long term. These types of deferrals are generally granted 90 days at a time. Collection efforts are typically escalated if, after two or three deferral periods, the cash flow event has not been resolved. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had a total of $43.2$78.3 million in loans modified in 2026 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, excluding loans measured at fair value, $42.8$71.2 million of which remained current and $30.1$63.2 million of which are for an other-than-insignificant payment delay or term extension.
Management endeavors to be proactive in its approach to identify and resolve problem loans and leases and is focused on working with the borrowers and guarantors of these loans and leases to provide loan and lease modifications when warranted. Management implements a proactive approach to identifying and classifying loans and leases as special mention (also referred to as criticized), Risk Grade 50. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Risk Grade 50 loans and leases, excluding loans measured at fair value, totaled $742.7$644.5 million and $727.2 million, respectively, for ana increasedecrease of $15.5$82.8 million. Relative to total held for investment unguaranteed loan exposure carried at historical cost at December 31, 2025 and MarchJune 31,30, 2026, unguaranteed Risk Grade 50 loans and leases decreased from $465.7 million, or 5.5%, to $462.3$401.7 million, or 5.3%,4.3%, respectively.
The change in Risk Grade 50 loans and leases, exclusive of loans measured at fair value, during the first threesix months of 2026 was principally confined to 13 verticals, as reflected above. Of the above listed verticalsverticals, SponsorABL Finance,General, Venture Banking, Emerging Markets, Government Contractors,Contract, Senior HousingHousing, and HotelsSolar Energy are within the Company’s Commercial Banking division and the remainder of the above listed verticals are within the Small Business Banking division.
At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, approximately 99.6%97.3% of loans and leases classified as Risk Grade 50 are performing with no relationships having payments past due more than 30 days. While the level of nonperforming assets fluctuates in response to changing economic and market conditions, in light of the relative size and composition of the loan and lease portfolio and management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets, management believes that a proactive approach to early identification and intervention is critical to successfully managing a small business loan portfolio.
The ACL of $192.3 million at December 31, 2025, increased by $1.0$1.2 million, or 0.5%,0.6%, to $193.3$193.4 million at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The ACL as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment at historical cost amounted to 1.6% at both December 31, 2025 and MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The increase in the ACL during the first threesix months of 2026 was primarily the result of loan growthgrowth, andpartially chargeoffset offby impactsimproving amidcredit a challenging macroeconomic environment, where elevated interest rates and inflationary pressures have placed financial strain on some small business and commercial borrowers.migration. See also the above section captioned “Provision for Credit Losses” in “Results of Operations” for related information.
Actual past due held for investment loans and leases, inclusive of loans measured at fair value, have decreasedincreased by $40.2$2.3 million since December 31, 2025. Total loans and leases 90 or more days past due decreased $63.4$35.3 million, or 15.8%,8.8%, compared to December 31, 2025. This decrease was comprised of a $4.2$22.6 million increase in unguaranteed exposure combined with a $67.7$58.0 million decrease in the guaranteed portion of past due loans compared to December 31, 2025. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total held for investment unguaranteed loans and leases past due as a percentage of total held for investment unguaranteed loans and leases, inclusive of loans measured at fair value, was 1.1%1.3% and 0.9%, respectively.

Management continues to actively monitor and work to improve asset quality. Management believes the ACL of $193.3$193.4 million at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 is appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current and expected events that it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the ACL, thus adversely affecting the Company’s operating results. Additional information on the ACL is presented in Note 5. Loans and Leases Held for Investment and Credit Quality of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Liquidity management refers to the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements based primarily on activity in loan and deposit accounts of the Company’s customers. Liquidity is immediately available from four major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks; (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold; (c) the fair value of unpledged investment securities; and (d) availability under lines of credit, FHLB advances and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. A primary tool in the Company's liquidity management process is the utilization of an Outflow Coverage Ratio (“OCR”) model to stress outflows in various scenarios with targeted days of liquidity coverage. The OCR model output is then used by management to ensure adequate liquidity sources are available during those future periods. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the total amount of these four liquidity source items was $4.96$5.07 billion, or 32.4%31.6% of total assets, ana increasedecrease of 0.1%0.7% of total assets from $4.89 billion, or 32.3% of total assets, at December 31, 2025.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s unused borrowing capacity was $4.09$4.08 billion and $3.97 billion, respectively, based upon securities and loans identified as available for collateral. Unused borrowing capacity consists of access through the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window, available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and other correspondent banks, and access to a repurchase agreement. If additional collateral is available, the Company's aggregate borrowing capacity with all of the above sources is $7.77$7.75 billion and $7.54 billion as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, $540.0$508.4 million of the investment securities portfolio were pledged for unused borrowing capacity, leaving $894.5$959.5 million available to be pledged as collateral.
One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure the repricing differences, or interest rate gaps, between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, across various time periods. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the balance sheet’s total cumulative gap position was 6.7%,6.4%, meaning that over the entire life of the Company's assets and liabilities, more assets will reprice than liabilities. For further information, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The interest rate gap method, however, addresses only the magnitude of asset and liability repricing timing differences as of the report date and does not address earnings, market value, changes in account behaviors based on the interest rate environment, or growth. Therefore, management also uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of instantaneous parallel interest rate shocks applied to a static balance sheet and non-parallel interest rate shocks applied to a dynamic balance sheet to measure interest rate risk. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company’s interest rate risk profile under the instantaneous parallel interest rate shock scenarios applied to a static balance sheet is moderately asset-sensitive. For more information, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
