OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) General . OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100 % of OptimumBank (the “Bank”), a Florida-chartered community bank. The Company’s only business is the operation of the Bank. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its three banking offices located in Broward County and Miami-Dade County, Florida. The Bank also markets its deposit and electronic funds transfer services on a national basis to merchant cash advance providers.

Basis of Presentation . In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2025, the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year of 2025.

Comprehensive Income . Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt securities are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, such items along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (Dollars in thousands):

Schedule of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

		September 30,				December 31,
		2025				2024
Unrealized loss on debt securities available for sale		$	( 6,354	)		$	( 7,473	)
Unamortized portion of unrealized loss related to debt securities available for sale transferred to securities held-to-maturity			( 10	)			( 10	)
Income tax benefit			1,611				1,913
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	( 4,753	)		$	( 5,570	)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” . The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to annual income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update are effective for our annual reporting period ended December 31, 2024, and are to be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its annual disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

FASB ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB ASC. The amendments in this ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unrealized losses on forty investment debt securities, respectively, were caused by interest-rate changes.

The Company performed an analysis that determined that the mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and U.S. government securities, have a zero expected credit loss as they have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Municipal bonds that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated at least quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 all municipal securities were rated as investment grade. All debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 continue to perform as scheduled and the Company does not believe that there is a credit loss or that credit loss expense is necessary. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, the Company considers our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. The Company does not currently intend to sell the investments within the portfolio, and it is not more-likely-than-not that a sale will be required.

Management continues to monitor all of our investments with a high degree of scrutiny. There can be no assurance that in a future period, conditions may exist at that time indicating that some or all of the Company’s securities may be sold that would require a charge to earnings as credit loss expense in such period.

(3) Loans, Continued.

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into six portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The Company identifies the portfolio segments as follows:

Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction. Residential real estate loans are underwritten based on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The Company offers first and second one-to-four family mortgage loans; the collateral for these loans is generally the clients’ owner-occupied residences. Although these types of loans present lower levels of risk than commercial real estate loans, risks do still exist because of possible fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrowers’ financial condition. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property. Underwriting standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Construction loans to borrowers finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sales information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyses the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

Commercial. Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies. Commercial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Primarily all of the Company’s commercial loans are secured loans, along with a small amount of unsecured loans. The Company’s underwriting analysis consists of a review of the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, which makes them of higher risk than residential loans and the collateral securing loans may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Company mitigates these risks through its underwriting standards.

Consumer. Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. Also offered are home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass — a Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.

OLEM — an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard — a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Included in this category are loans that are current on their payments, but the Bank is unable to document the source of repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — a loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company charges off the estimated loss on any loan classified as Doubtful.

Loss — a loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as loss.

(4) Earnings Per Share . Basic earnings per share have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 525,641 Series C Convertible Preferred shares outstanding, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred can be converted into one share of common stock under specific and limited circumstances at any time at the option of the holder. The conversion feature is considered to be diluted earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC 260. The dilutive effect is calculated using the if-converted method. On October 1, 2025, the Company amended the conversion rights of its Series B Convertible Preferred shares to allow conversion at the holder’s discretion. As a result of this amendment, diluted earnings per share amounts for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the impact of the amendment to the rights of the Series B Preferred shares, as described in Note 10. This amendment resulted in a change in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, applied retrospectively to ensure comparability.

(8) Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments . The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for off-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

Commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2025 follows (Dollars in thousands):

Schedule of Off-Balance Sheet Risks of Financial Instruments

Commitments to extend credit		$	33,997
Unused lines of credit		$	68,695
Standby letters of credit		$	3,779

(9) Regulatory Matters . The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the bank regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject to. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are presented in the table below (Dollars in thousands):

Schedule of Capital Amounts, Ratios and Regulatory Thresholds

		Actual								To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Regulations (CBLR Framework)
		Amount				%				Amount				%
As of September 30, 2025:
Tier 1 Capital to Total Assets		$	120,976				11.71	%		$	93,013				9.00	%
As of December 31, 2024:

(10) Series B and C Preferred Stock and ATM offering program .

Except in the event of liquidation, if the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the common stock, the Company shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the common stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend. As of September 30, 2025, the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 11,113,889 shares of common stock, at the option of the Company, subject to the prior fulfilment of the following conditions: (i) such conversion shall have been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company; and (ii) such conversion must not result in any holder of the Series B Preferred Stock and any persons with whom the holder may be acting in concert, becoming the beneficial owners of more than 9.9 % of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, unless the issuance, shall have been approved by all banking regulatory authorities whose approval is required for the acquisition of such shares. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is subject to adjustment based on the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred has preferential liquidation rights over common stockholders. The liquidation price is the greater of $ 25,000 per share of Series B Preferred or such amount per share of Series B Preferred that would have been payable had all shares of the Series B Preferred been converted into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock’s Certificate of Designation immediately prior to a liquidation. The Series B Preferred generally has no voting rights except as provided in the Certificate of Designation.

The Series B Preferred Stock are subdivided into three categories. The Company is authorized to issue 760 shares of Series B-1; 260 shares of Series B-2; and 500 shares of Series B-3. Each category of the Series B preferred stock has substantially the same rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations, except that the initial conversion price of the Series B-1 is $ 2.50 per share; the initial conversion price for Series B-2 is $ 4.00 per share, and the initial conversion price for Series B-3 is $ 4.50 per share. Two Company directors each independently own 380 shares of Series B-1, 130 shares of Series B-2, and 170 shares of Series B-3.

During the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 27, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of up to 11,113,889 shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B preferred stock previously issued by the Company.

On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to 4,000,000 of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock, at the option of the holder, provided that upon such conversion the holder, together with all affiliates of the holder, will not own or control in the aggregate more than 9.9 % of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2025, 525,641 shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

On August 9, 2024, the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement with Securities and Exchange Commission, registering for sale of up to an aggregate of $ 25 million in shares of common stock through an at-the-market offering (“ATM Program”). Under the ATM Program, the Company sold 1,958,661 shares during the year ended on December 31, 2024, generating net proceeds of $ 9,062,244 . During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold an additional 52,819 common stock shares under the ATM program, generating net proceeds of $ 217,000 . The ATM Program allows the Company to issue and sell to the public from time to time at prevailing market prices, at the Company’s discretion, newly issued shares of common stock. The ATM Program is expected to provide the Company with additional financing flexibility and intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program to facilitate growth.

On October 1, 2025, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the filing of an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for its Series B Preferred Stock (see Exhibit 3.3, 2025 Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock on Form 8-K (filed with the SEC on October 1, 2025)). The amendment, which was approved by the Board of Directors and the requisite holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, modifies certain terms and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock, including conversion rights which allow conversion at the holder’s discretion. The amendment became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of Florida. As a result of this amendment, diluted earnings per share has been updated for all periods presented to reflect this change in capital structure.

(12) Borrowings .

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The table below presents FHLB advances outstanding as follows (Dollars in thousands):

Schedule of Maturities and Interest Rates on Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Advances

		Maturity				Interest				September 30,				December 31,
At September 30, 2025:		Year Ending				Rate				2025				2024

At September 30, 2025, the Company had credit availability of $ 249.7 million. At September 30, 2025, the Company had loans pledged with a carrying value of $ 434.9 million as collateral for any FHLB advances.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including adverse changes in economic, political and market conditions, losses from the Company’s lending activities, increases in interest rates, the possible loss of key personnel, the impact of increasing competition, the impact of changes in government regulation, the possibility of liabilities arising from violations of federal and state securities laws and the impact of changes in technology in the banking industry. Although the Company believes that its forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding its business and future market conditions, there can be no assurances that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from any results expressed or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Strategic Plan

Our key strategic initiatives are designed to generate continued growth in earning assets, core transaction deposits, treasury management fee income, while operating with an efficient cost structure. Continued emphasis on expansion of our South Florida customer base and exploring additional niche lines of business are also part of our strategic plan.

We believe providing our clients with reasonable solutions that meet their business and personal needs fosters stability in our client base, builds full-service banking relationships, and allows for profitable growth that enhances shareholder returns. We intend to deliver the solutions to clients in a very personalized manner while investing in talent and leveraging modern technology to facilitate efficiency and decrease client pain points while enhancing our competitiveness.

We are focused on full-service banking relationships, continuing to identify deposit growth opportunities among our existing customer base and prospects throughout South Florida, Florida, and the United States. Improving our core funding capabilities is foundational to the ability to support our opportunity to capitalize on the strong business and real estate market in South Florida and with our niche skilled nursing facility and merchant cash advance markets. We will accomplish this through the addition of experienced and skilled bankers to our business development and retail banking teams, and we are modernizing and improving our products and digital services to better support our personalized business model. This includes upgrading our core banking system in 2025, including our online banking and mobile banking applications. We believe adding this talent and upgrading our core banking system and client facing applications will allow us to better service local area small businesses that will add granularity and diversification to our customer base and balance sheet, while improving the utilization of our local area branches.

Modernizing our technology and improving our products and services allows us to better support our personalized business model to our niche business owner-operator client base with less friction, a human touch, and we believe better convenience than the large banks. In coordination with our Treasury Cash Management capabilities this has allowed us to enter niche businesses including banking services to Skilled Nursing Facilities in the areas of CRE and Asset-Based Lending (ABL) while capturing the business operating accounts. In addition, we have built capabilities in Small Business Administration (SBA) lending, entering the space in late 2023 and being designated as a Preferred Lender under the SBA’s Preferred Lenders Program (PLP) in the first quarter of 2025. Under the program the Bank offers SBA-guaranteed 7A loans generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or real estate. Management has implemented initiatives that have enabled us to grow our loan portfolio primarily with South Florida and Florida generated relationships in the commercial real estate, owner-occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, and commercial and industrial sectors.

In treasury management services, our primary focus will remain on merchant cash advance providers and the related electronic funds transfer line of business. For this revenue source to increase further in a meaningful way, automation will be necessary to further improve efficiency. We are currently investing in the necessary technology and expect efficiencies to occur throughout 2025 and beyond.

(continued)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Our strategic plan emphasizes and builds upon initiatives focused on strengthening credit oversight and credit administrative processes and procedures. Moreover, management continues to identify loan growth opportunities that are designed to improve overall profitability without sacrificing credit quality and underwriting standards. This growth oriented strategic direction is expected to be facilitated by maintaining credit administration objectives including a risk-based and comprehensive credit culture and a credit administrative infrastructure that reinforces appropriate risk management practices.

Overview

The Company’s total assets increased by approximately $150.1 million to $1.08 billion at September 30, 2025, from $932.9 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents. Net loans increased by $7.8 million to $802.8 million at September 30, 2025, from $795.0 million at December 31, 2024. Deposits grew by approximately $187.3 million to $959.5 million at September 30, 2025, from $772.2 million at December 31, 2024. Total stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $13.7 million to $116.9 million at September 30, 2025, from $103.2 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to net earnings, proceeds from common stock sales, and unrealized gains on debt securities available for sale.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

The Company’s sources of funds include customer deposits, loan repayments, earnings, federal funds market, and access to various borrowing arrangements. These includes borrowing capacity with Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank, and five correspondent banks.

Our liquidity is derived primarily from our deposit base, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loans and debt securities, funds provided by operations, and capital. Additionally, as a commercial bank, we are expected to maintain an adequate liquidity position. The Company’s liquidity position may consist of cash on hand, cash on demand deposit with correspondent banks, federal funds sold, and unpledged marketable securities such as United States government treasury and agency securities, municipal securities, U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. Some of our securities are pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank to secure borrowing capacity. The market value of securities pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank was $1.7 million at September 30, 2025.

Deposits increased by approximately $187.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase in deposits provided funding for new loan originations and repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In addition to obtaining funds from depositors, the Company had borrowing capacity of $249.7 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Company’s borrowing facility is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements, as well as prior FHLB consent to each advance. As of September 30, 2025, first mortgage loans with a carrying value of $434.9 million were pledged to FHLB. At September 30, 2025, the Company also had available lines of credit amounting to $73.5 million with five correspondent banks, disbursements on the lines of credit are subject to the approval of the correspondent banks. The Company monitor its liquidity position on daily basis and believes its current funding sources, including deposits, borrowing capacity, unencumbered liquid assets, and access to the federal funds market, are adequate to meet its ongoing operating needs.

Comparison of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024

(Dollars in thousands, except per share		September 30,								(Decrease)

Net earnings per share - Basic		$	0.37			$	0.34
Net earnings per share - Diluted (1)		$	0.18			$	0.15

(1) On October 1, 2025, the Company amended the terms of the Series B preferred shares, as detailed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. This amendment affected the calculation of diluted earnings per share, and accordingly, all periods diluted EPS figures have been restated to reflect the new dilution structure. This ensures a consistent basis of comparison.

Net earnings . Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $4.3 million or $.37 per basic share and $.18 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $3.3 million or $.34 per basic share and $.15 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income.

Interest income . Interest income increased to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, the increase was primarily attributed to the increase in average balances of interest earning assets.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to reduction in deposit rates and repayment of borrowings, which lowered overall interest expense.

Credit loss expense. The Company recorded a credit loss expense of $0.76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a credit loss expense of $0.36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The expected credit loss expense is charged to earnings as losses are expected to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses expected. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.0 million or 1.23% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2025, compared to $8.7 million or 1.08% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2024. During the three-months ended September 30, 2025, the net recovery amounting to $41,000 resulted from consumer lending.

Noninterest income. Total noninterest income was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase reflects an increase in wire transfer and ACH fees during the third quarter of 2025.

Noninterest expenses . Total noninterest expenses increased to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to employee compensation and benefits, data processing, and other expenses.

The increase in net earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income.

Interest income . Interest income increased to $46.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is due primarily to the growth in the average balances of interest earning assets.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $2.3 million to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a reduction in deposit rates and changes in the composition of deposits.

Credit loss expense. The Company recorded a credit loss expense of $1.64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.61 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The expected credit loss expense is charged to earnings as losses are expected to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses expected.

Noninterest income. Total noninterest income increased to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to increased wire transfer and ACH fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Noninterest expenses . Total noninterest expenses increased to $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and other expenses.
