Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K") filed with the SEC. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." There are a number of important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, and should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results or future events.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based on management's expectations at the time such statements are made and speak only as of the date made.

All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and factors that we currently deem immaterial may become material, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.
Overview
Mechanics Bancorp is a financial holding company and primarily operates through 121-year-old Mechanics Bank, a full-service community bank with 166 branches throughout California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. Following the strategic Merger of HomeStreet Bank with and into Mechanics Bank on September 2, 2025, with Mechanics Bank surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the assets, liabilities and operations of HomeStreet Bank became the assets, liabilities and operations of Mechanics Bank. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Mechanics Bank provides a wide range of products and services in consumer and business banking, commercial lending, cash management services, private banking, and comprehensive wealth management and trust services.
General
The Company's management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition ("MD&A") is intended to assist the reader in understanding and assessing significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Developments
Presentation of Results - HomeStreet Bank Merger
On September 2, 2025, we completed the Merger of HomeStreet Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as "HomeStreet, Inc.") with and into Mechanics Bank, with Mechanics Bank as the surviving bank. Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer ("legal acquiree"), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp is the legal acquirer. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our financial results for all periods ended prior to September 2, 2025 reflect Mechanics Bank's results on a standalone basis until the closing of the Merger on September 2, 2025 and results of the combined company beginning September 2, 2025. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Mechanics Bancorp have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger as of September 2, 2025 at their acquisition date fair values. The estimates of fair value were recorded based on initial valuations at the Merger date. These estimates are considered preliminary as of June 30, 2026, are subject to change for up to one year after the Merger date, and any changes could be material.
Unless we state otherwise or the content otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "Mechanics," "we," "our," "us" or the "Company" refer collectively to Mechanics Bancorp, Mechanics Bank (the "Bank") and other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Mechanics Bancorp, following completion of the Merger. In some instances, we refer to Mechanics Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy Mechanics Bank," HomeStreet Bank prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet Bank," and HomeStreet, Inc. prior to the effective time of the Merger as "legacy HomeStreet, Inc."
Asset Sale
As discussed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Asset Sale," on May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its DUS business line to Fifth Third.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and accounting practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies because they require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could materially affect the value of those assets, such as economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets. Those estimates and assumptions are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our estimates or assumptions were based, these changes could have a material adverse effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and on our results of operations. As a result of the Merger, the Company updated critical accounting estimates. Management believes the ACL policy and estimate, the
valuation of single family MSRs and business combinations estimates are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and requires difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and, therefore, management considers them to be critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes in the methodology of these estimates during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management's Overview of Financial Performance
Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2026
General: Our net income and income before taxes were $57.7 million and $79.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $44.1 million and $61.9 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026. The $17.4 million increase in income before taxes compared to the first quarter of 2026 was due to a reversal of provision in the second quarter, which was primarily driven by the elimination of economic qualitative adjustments now that the Middle East conflict and corresponding economic impact are embedded in expected loss rate modeling, and a reduction in residential construction and HELOC unfunded commitments, offset by an increase in modeled loss rates for multifamily loans.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2026 was 27.2% as compared to 28.7% in the first quarter of 2026 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate decreased compared to the prior quarter as a result of a $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the first quarter.
Net Interest Income: The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. The average yields and rates are based on annualized interest income or expense for the periods presented.

(3)Cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.25% and 1.28% for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.9 million lower than the first quarter of 2026 primarily as a result of a decrease in average interest earning assets of $468.4 million, partially offset by lower interest expense on certificates of deposit. Mechanics' net interest margin increased from 3.61% to 3.62% primarily due to runoff of higher cost certificates of deposit.
Provision for Credit Losses: The reversal of provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026, which consists of the reversal of provision for loans and unfunded commitments, was $2.8 million, compared to a provision of $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. The reversal of provision for the second quarter was primarily driven by the elimination of economic qualitative adjustments now that the Middle East conflict and corresponding economic impact are embedded in expected loss rate modeling, and a reduction in residential construction and HELOC unfunded commitments, offset by an increase in modeled loss rates for multifamily loans.
Noninterest Income: The following table presents the components of noninterest income:

(3)Comprised of net gains on derivatives used as economic hedges of single family MSRs, and net gains on U.S. Treasury notes trading securities used for hedging purposes.
Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.8 million from the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher other noninterest income from the gain on sale of the Fannie Mae DUS business line and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment.
Noninterest Expense: The following table presents the components of noninterest expense:

Acquisition and integration costs 5,923 4,794
Other 10,426 10,086
Total noninterest expense $ 124,473 $ 130,427
Noninterest expense decreased $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expense from a decrease in headcount as a result of integration following the Merger.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
General: Our net income and income before taxes were $101.8 million and $141.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $86.3 million and $120.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $20.6 million increase in income before taxes compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income from the Merger. The increases were partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and increases in noninterest expense from the Merger.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 27.9% as compared to 28.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate decreased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of a lower state tax rate due to more taxable income being apportioned to states with lower tax rates and an increase in tax exempt investments and loans, both a result of the Merger. These were partially offset by the $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the current year.
Net Interest Income: The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. The average yields and rates are based on annualized interest income or expense for the periods presented.

(3)Cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.27% and 1.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $97.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase of $4.7 billion in average interest-earning assets, as well as an increase in net interest margin from 3.44% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 3.61% in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of the Merger.
Provision for Credit Losses: The provision for credit losses was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a reversal of provision of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in provision for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by an increase in modeled loss rates for multifamily loans during 2026, offset slightly by downward qualitative adjustments and lower balances. The increase in provision was partially offset by a reduction in the unfunded commitments reserve.
Noninterest Income: The following table presents the components of noninterest income:
Six Months Ended June 30,

(3)Comprised of net gains on derivatives used as economic hedges of single family MSRs, and net gains on U.S. Treasury notes trading securities used for hedging purposes.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $10.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher loan servicing income, ATM network fee income and other noninterest income, which were all driven by the Merger. In addition, the increase in other noninterest income resulted from the gain on sale of the DUS business line and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment. The increases in noninterest income were partially offset by lower gain on sales and calls of investment securities.
Noninterest Expense consisted of the following:
Six Months Ended June 30,

Acquisition and integration costs 10,717 5,989
Other 20,512 12,562
Total noninterest expense $ 254,900 $ 176,718
Noninterest expense increased $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy costs, equipment expense, amortization of intangibles and acquisition and integration related costs from the Merger.
Financial Condition June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, total assets decreased $1.1 billion, total liabilities decreased $948.2 million and shareholders' equity decreased $172.4 million.
Investment Securities
Trading securities totaled $46.6 million and $49.5 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Securities available-for-sale increased by $125.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 to $4.1 billion at June 30, 2026, primarily due to purchases of agency MBS, partially offset by paydowns and declines in fair values. Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $49.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, due to paydowns, and totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026.
Loans
Total loans at June 30, 2026 were $13.6 billion, a decrease of $600.7 million from $14.2 billion at December 31, 2025, due primarily to loan repayments, partially offset by originations.
Deposits
Total deposits decreased by $935.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 to $18.1 billion at June 30, 2026, due primarily to certificates of deposit runoff, as well as seasonal outflows in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $6.4 billion and represented 35% of total deposits at June 30, 2026, compared to $6.7 billion, or 35% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025.
Insured deposits of $10.3 billion represented 57% of total deposits at June 30, 2026, compared to insured deposits of $12.2 billion, or 64% of total deposits at December 31, 2025.
Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
Total borrowings were $80.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to zero at December 31, 2025. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was due to short-term Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowings during the second quarter.
Total long-term debt was $130.4 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $192.0 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was due to the redemption of the $65.0 million Senior Notes on March 1, 2026.
Equity
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, total shareholders' equity decreased by $172.4 million to $2.7 billion and tangible common equity (1) decreased by $57.9 million to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2026. The decrease in total shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2026 from net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of securities available-for-sale. Tangible common equity decreased less than total shareholders equity due to the reduction in intangibles from the sale of the DUS business line, which offset the decrease in total shareholders' equity.
At June 30, 2026, book value per common share decreased to $12.15, compared to $12.93 at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, tangible book value per common share (1) decreased to $7.56, compared to $7.81 at December 31, 2025. The decrease in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. For tangible book value per share, these decreases were partially offset by a reduction in intangibles.
(1) Tangible common equity and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure or the computation of the measure, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations."

At June 30, 2026, total delinquent loans were $95.4 million, compared to $93.1 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to two matured commercial real estate loans that became past due during the second quarter and were in process of refinance or extension as of June 30, 2026, partially offset by improvement in auto loan portfolio delinquencies. Total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.70% at June 30, 2026, as compared to 0.66% at December 31, 2025.
At June 30, 2026, nonperforming assets were $59.4 million, compared to $51.8 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to additional single family, home equity and commercial real estate nonperforming loans. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.28% at June 30, 2026, as compared to 0.23% at December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds
Liquidity risk management is primarily intended to ensure we are able to maintain sources of cash to adequately fund operations and meet our obligations, including demands from depositors, draws on lines of credit and paying any creditors, on a timely and cost-effective basis, in various market conditions. Our liquidity profile is influenced by changes in market conditions, the composition of the balance sheet and risk tolerance levels. Mechanics has established liquidity guidelines and operating plans that detail the sources and uses of cash and liquidity.
Mechanics' primary sources of liquidity include deposits, loan repayments and investment securities payments, both principal and interest, borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities. Borrowings may include advances from the FHLB, borrowings from the Federal Reserve, federal funds purchased and borrowings from other financial institutions. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and prepayments of loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Mechanics' contractual cash flow obligations include the maturity of certificates of deposit, short-term and long-term borrowings, interest on certificates of deposit and borrowings, operating leases and fees for information technology-related services and professional services. Obligations for certificates of deposit are typically satisfied through excess cash reserve balances, the renewal of these instruments or the generation of new deposits. Interest payments and obligations related to leases and services are typically met by cash generated from our operations.
At June 30, 2026, Mechanics had available borrowing capacity of $5.9 billion from the FHLB, $4.4 billion from the Federal Reserve and $5.0 billion under borrowing lines established with other financial institutions. We believe that our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. We are currently not aware of any other trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our liquidity needs during or beyond the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $476.1 million compared to an increase of $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As a banking institution, Mechanics has extensive access to liquidity. Mechanics manages its cash positions to conservative minimum cash buffer levels and does not attempt to maximize the level of cash and cash equivalents. The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows during these periods.
Cash flows from operating activities
Mechanics' operating assets and liabilities are used to support our lending activities, including the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash of $64.2 million was provided by operating activities from ongoing bank operations, compared to $63.7 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cash flows from investing activities
Mechanics' investing activities are primarily related to investment securities and LHFI. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash of $634.6 million was provided by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security maturities and calls, net loan originations and principal collections, and proceeds from the sale of the DUS business line, partially offset by AFS investment security purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash of $988.5 million was provided by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security sales, maturities and calls and net loan originations and principal collections, partially offset by AFS investment security purchases.
Cash flows from financing activities
Mechanics' financing activities are primarily related to deposits, net proceeds or repayments from borrowings and equity transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash of $1.2 billion was used by financing activities, due to a decrease in deposits, repayment of Senior Notes and dividends paid, partially offset by proceeds from short-term borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash of $27.1 million was provided by financing activities due to an increase in deposits.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments that carry off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments (which include commitments to originate loans and commitments to purchase loans) include potential credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of our customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, (3) diversify our funding sources and/or (4) optimize capital.
These commitments include the following:

Unused consumer portfolio lines $ 1,717,556 $ 1,423,770

Standby letters of credit $ 26,648 $ 17,257
(1)Within the commercial portfolio lines, undistributed construction loan proceeds, where the Company has an obligation to advance funds for construction progress payments were $307.9 million and $361.4 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Capital Resources
The capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding companies and federally insured depository institutions require Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank to meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, prompt corrective action regulations place a federally insured depository institution, such as Mechanics Bank, into one of five capital categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution's primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.
The following tables present the regulatory capital amounts and ratios (inclusive of the capital 2.5% conservation buffer, where applicable) for Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank as of the dates indicated:

As of the dates set forth in the above tables, Mechanics Bancorp exceeded the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and Mechanics Bank's capital ratios exceeded the minimums necessary to qualify as a well-capitalized depository institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. In addition to the minimum capital ratios, Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of 2.5% in addition to the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses. Mechanics maintained capital ratios necessary to satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements as of the dates indicated. At June 30, 2026, the capital conservation buffers for Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank were 8.39% and 8.74%, respectively.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.70 per share for Class A shareholders and $7.00 per share for Class B shareholders in the second quarter of 2026 and paid cash dividends of $1.10 per share for Class A shareholders and $11.00 per share for Class B shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The amount and declaration of future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and certain statutory requirements and regulatory restrictions. For additional information on the Company's dividends, refer to Note 16, "Shareholders' Equity and Dividends."
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2026.
