In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “We delivered quarterly net income of $24.2 million and $0.63 of earnings per diluted share. The quarter’s results were negatively impacted by elevated provision primarily resulting from a loan charge-off involving suspected fraud by the borrower. Removing the impact of the fraud-related charge-off and a payroll tax credit benefit included in the quarter, earnings per share would have exceeded analysts’ median estimate for the quarter. It’s noteworthy that we delivered a return on tangible assets of 1.1% even in light of the charge-off. Further, past dues and non-performing loan ratios improved during the quarter. With a solid net interest margin of 3.93%, we drove 3.4% growth in our fully taxable equivalent net interest income over the same period last year.” Mr. Laney added, “Our commitment to serve our clients, coupled with building a fortress balance sheet with strong capital, liquidity, and diversified sources of funding has led us to be recognized by Forbes as one of the best banks in the United States. Our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio totaled 13.6% and tangible book value per share grew $0.66 during the quarter to $25.94 per share. We have built our Bank to withstand uncertain and volatile times, and we continue to make meaningful investments in technology and drive shareholders returns.” First Quarter 2025 Results(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2024, except as noted) Net income totaled $24.2 million or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $28.2 million or $0.73 per diluted share. The first quarter’s results were impacted by $10.2 million of provision expense recorded primarily to cover a charge-off on one credit driven by suspected fraudulent activity by the borrower. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.09%, compared to 1.23%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 10.64%, compared to 12.31%. Net Interest IncomeFully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $88.6 million, compared to $92.0 million, decreasing $3.4 million due to two fewer business days in the first quarter and a decrease of $37.9 million in average earning assets. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin narrowed six basis points to 3.93%, driven by a 13 basis point decrease in earning asset yields, partially offset by an eight basis point improvement in the cost of funds. LoansLoans totaled $7.6 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $7.8 billion. We generated quarterly loan fundings of $255.7 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $160.2 million. The first quarter weighted average rate on new loans at the time of origination was 7.3%, compared to the quarter’s weighted average yield of 6.4% on our loan portfolio. Asset Quality and Provision for Credit LossesThe Company recorded $10.2 million of provision expense for credit losses during the first quarter, compared to $2.0 million. The current quarter’s provision expense was recorded primarily to cover the charge-off on one credit driven by suspected fraudulent activity by the borrower. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.80% of average total loans, compared to 0.11%. Non-performing loans decreased one basis point to 0.45% of total loans at March 31, 2025, and non-performing assets decreased one basis point to 0.46% of total loans and OREO at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.18% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2024. DepositsAverage total deposits decreased $111.6 million to $8.3 billion during the first quarter 2025, and average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) decreased $113.1 million to $7.2 billion. Transaction deposits on a spot basis grew $147.7 million to $7.4 billion at March 31, 2025. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 90.8% at March 31, 2025, compared to 94.1%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.4% at March 31, 2025, compared to 87.6%. Non-Interest IncomeNon-interest income totaled $15.4 million during the first quarter, compared to $11.1 million. Included in the prior quarter was $6.6 million of non-recurring loss on investment security sales. Mortgage banking income increased $1.0 million, compared to the prior quarter. Service charges and bank card fees decreased $0.7 million due to seasonality, and other non-interest income was $2.6 million lower due to lower SBA gains on sale and swap fee activity during the first quarter. Non-Interest ExpenseNon-interest expense decreased $2.5 million to $62.0 million during the first quarter. Salaries and benefits decreased $1.1 million primarily due to payroll tax credits realized in the first quarter. Data processing decreased $0.5 million, and professional services expense decreased $0.2 million driven by our continued disciplined expense management. Included within other non-interest expense in the prior quarter was $1.2 million of banking center consolidation-related expense. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio was 57.7% at March 31, 2025, compared to 57.0%, excluding other intangible assets amortization and the prior quarter’s non-recurring loss on investment security sales. Income tax expense decreased $0.9 million to $5.6 million, due to the first quarter’s lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 18.8% for the first quarter, consistent with the prior quarter. CapitalCapital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 10.89%, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio totaled 13.61% at March 31, 2025. Shareholders’ equity increased $24.2 million to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2025, primarily driven by $13.1 million of growth in retained earnings from net income after covering the quarter’s dividend, and a $10.0 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the interest rate environment. Common book value per share increased $0.61 to $34.90 at March 31, 2025. Tangible common book value per share increased $0.66 to $25.94 driven by the quarter’s earnings after covering the quarterly dividend, and a $0.26 improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Year-Over-Year Review (All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2024, except as noted) Net income totaled $24.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $31.4 million, or $0.82 per diluted share in the same period prior year. The decrease compared to the prior year was largely driven by higher provision expense of $10.2 million. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $1.4 million to $42.0 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.09%, compared to 1.39%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 10.64%, compared to 15.14%. Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $2.9 million to $88.6 million. Average earning assets increased $12.6 million, including average loan growth of $29.3 million and average investment securities growth of $22.6 million. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin widened 15 basis points to 3.93%, as an 18 basis point decrease in the cost of funds outpaced a three basis point decrease in earning asset yields. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $35.8 million due to higher average deposit balances, and the cost of funds totaled 2.07%, compared to 2.25% in the same period prior year. Loans outstanding totaled $7.6 billion as of March 31, 2025, increasing $77.2 million or 1.0%. New loan fundings over the trailing twelve months totaled $1.6 billion, led by commercial fundings of $1.1 billion. The Company recorded $10.2 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to no provision expense for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024. The current quarter’s provision expense was recorded primarily to cover the charge-off on one credit driven by suspected fraudulent activity by the borrower. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.80% of average total loans, compared to minimal net charge-offs in the same period prior year. Non-performing loans decreased two basis points to 0.45% of total loans at March 31, 2025, and non-performing assets decreased seven basis points to 0.46% of total loans and OREO at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.18% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.29% at March 31, 2024. Average total deposits increased $41.5 million or 0.5% to $8.3 billion, and average transaction deposits decreased $4.5 million. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.4% at March 31, 2025, compared to 88.3%. Non-interest income totaled $15.4 million, compared to $17.7 million, decreasing primarily due to $2.3 million lower other non-interest income driven by timing of SBA loan gain on sales and swap fee income activity, and a $0.6 million gain from the sale of a banking center building included in the first quarter of 2024. Non-interest expense decreased $0.8 million to $62.0 million. Salaries and benefits decreased $2.2 million primarily due to payroll tax credits realized during the first quarter 2025, which was partially offset by increases in data processing and occupancy and equipment, driven by investments in technology. Income tax expense totaled $5.6 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, driven by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 18.8%, compared to 19.3% in the first quarter of 2024.

About Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresCertain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “adjusted return on average assets,” “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “adjusted return on average equity,” “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “non-interest expense excluding other intangible assets amortization,” “non-interest income adjusted for the loss on security sales,” “efficiency ratio excluding other intangible assets amortization, adjusted for the loss on security sales,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share – diluted,” “net income excluding the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense, adjusted for the loss on security sales, after tax,” “net income adjusted for the loss on security sales, after tax,” “net income excluding the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense, after tax,” “adjusted return on average tangible assets,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue, adjusted for the loss on security sales,” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
