"Our performance throughout 2024 reflects a year of remarkable growth and significantly improved performance," said David Becker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Full year net income and earnings per share increased substantially from 2023, driven by growth in net interest income and greater gain on sale revenue from our small business lending business. Strong commercial loan growth, particularly in construction, investor commercial real estate and small business lending, enhanced our interest rate risk profile and drove loan yields higher. As a result, total revenue growth for the year far outpaced expense growth, driving significant operating leverage.

"Several of these key operating trends continued through the fourth quarter, providing a high level of momentum as we enter the new year. Our liquidity and capital positions are solid, and measures of asset quality remain sound. We anticipate continued net interest margin expansion. We are excited about the outlook for 2025 as the combination of our core businesses, a more favorable interest rate environment, and emerging opportunities leave us well-positioned to deliver continued earnings growth and increased profitability."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $23.6 million, compared to $21.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, and $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $24.7 million, compared to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, and $21.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Total interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $77.8 million, an increase of 3.7% compared to the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of 17.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. On a fully taxable equivalent basis, total interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $78.9 million, an increase of 3.7% compared to the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of 16.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased to 5.52% from 5.58% for the third quarter of 2024 due to a 54 basis point ("bp") decrease in the yield earned on other earning assets and a 3 bp decrease in the yield earned on securities, partially offset by a 3 bp increase in the yield earned on loans. Compared to the linked quarter, average loan balances, including loans held-for-sale, increased $99.8 million, or 2.5%, the average balance of securities increased $49.3 million, or 6.2%, and the average balance of other earning assets increased $110.0 million, or 20.9%.

Interest income earned on commercial loans was higher due primarily to increased average balances within the investor commercial real estate, construction and small business lending portfolios. This was partially offset by lower average balances in the healthcare and franchise finance portfolios. The continued shift in the loan mix reflects the Company's focus on higher-yielding variable rate and shorter-duration products, in part, to help improve the interest rate risk profile of the balance sheet.

In the consumer loan portfolio, interest income was up due to the combination of higher average balances and continued strong new origination yields in the trailers and RV portfolios, partially offset by lower average balances in the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios.

The yield on funded portfolio loan originations was 7.26% in the fourth quarter of 2024, down from 8.85% in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting 100 bps of Fed rate cuts since late in the third quarter of 2024, as well as the larger volume of originations in fixed-rate portfolios which are priced at lower spreads over US treasuries, but are still significantly higher than historical yields in these portfolios.

Interest income earned on securities during the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $0.4 million, or 5.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to the increase in average balances, partially offset by a slight decrease in the yield earned on the portfolio. The yield on the securities portfolio decreased 3 bps to 3.98%, driven primarily by variable rate securities repricing lower following the Fed rate cuts and the maturity of an interest rate swap tied to the securities portfolio. Interest earned on other earning asset balances increased $0.6 million, or 8.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter, due primarily to higher average cash balances, partially offset by the decrease in yields earned on those balances due to the Fed rate cuts.

Total interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $54.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1.9%, compared to the linked quarter, due to a 7.8% increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances throughout the quarter, partially offset by lower costs on those deposits and a decline in the average balance of FHLB advances. Interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits increased $1.7 million, or 3.6%, driven primarily by higher average balances, partially offset by a decline of 17 bps in the cost of funds to 4.13%.

The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by CDs as average balances increased $185.9 million, or 9.7%, compared to the linked quarter, driven by strong consumer demand, partially offset by a 4 bp decrease in the cost of funds. The decrease in the cost of funds for CDs is the second consecutive quarter of declining costs, reflecting the favorable repricing gap between new production and maturities. The weighted-average cost of new CDs during the fourth quarter of 2024 was 4.23%, or 78 bps lower than the cost of maturing CDs. Although medium-to-longer term treasury rates increased during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company held CD pricing constant through most of the quarter and further lowered CD rates in December following the Fed's rate cut that month. Additionally, the average balance of fintech - brokered deposits increased $55.5 million, or 36.3%, due to higher payments volume, partially offset by a 34 bp decrease in the cost of funds. Furthermore, the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $63.1 million, or 12.3%, which was almost completely offset by a decline of 23 bps in the cost of funds. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Bank submitted a notice of reliance on the primary purpose exemption with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation related to fintech deposits that had been classified as brokered, and as of December 31, 2024, reclassified these deposits to interest-bearing demand deposits.

These increases were partially offset by a decline in interest expense related to money market accounts and brokered deposits. While the average balance of money market accounts increased slightly, the cost of funds decreased 26 bps. Similarly, the average balance of brokered deposits increased during the fourth quarter, which was more than offset by a decline of 30 bps in the cost of funds. The decline in the cost of money market accounts and brokered deposits was driven primarily by the Fed rate cuts in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Additionally, the Company paid down higher- cost brokered CD issuances during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Interest expense also benefitted from a lower average balance of FHLB advances as the Company deployed liquidity to pay down $220.0 million of advances during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net interest margin ("NIM") was 1.67% for the fourth quarter of 2024, up from 1.62% for the third quarter of 2024, and up from 1.58% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Fully taxable equivalent NIM ("FTE NIM") was 1.75% for the fourth quarter of 2024, up from 1.70% for the third quarter of 2024, and up from 1.68% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increases in NIM and FTE NIM compared to the linked quarter were due to the decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets following the Fed rate cuts that began in late September of 2024.



Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $15.9 million, up from $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, and up from $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $4.7 million of prepayment and terminated interest rate swap gains related to the paydown of FHLB advances. Excluding these gains, adjusted noninterest income for the quarter was $11.2 million, down 6.9% from the third quarter of 2024. Gain on sale of loans totaled $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, down $1.4 million, or 13.7%, from the linked quarter. Gain on sale revenue consisted almost entirely of sales of U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") 7(a) guaranteed loans during the fourth quarter of 2024. SBA loan sale volume during the fourth quarter of 2024 was down 18.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024, while net premiums increased 30 bps. The decline in loan sale volume was due mainly to a timing issue as a significant portion of originations during the quarter closed late in December and will not be sold in the secondary market until January of 2025. The decline in gain-on-sale revenue was partially offset by higher net loan servicing revenue, which increased $0.7 million, due primarily to growth in the servicing portfolio and a lower fair value adjustment to the loan servicing asset.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $22.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, and $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing increases of 5.1% and 19.5%, respectively. The increase of $1.2 million compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to higher salaries and employee benefits, other noninterest expense and deposit insurance premium. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was driven by staff additions in small business lending, risk management and information technology as the Company continues to invest in key areas. The increase in other noninterest expense was due to seasonal expenses while the increase in deposit insurance premium was due mainly to year-over-year asset growth.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million and an effective tax rate of 12.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $0.6 million and an effective tax rate of 8.1% for the third quarter of 2024, and an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects higher pre-tax income compared to prior quarters.

Loans and Credit Quality
Total loans as of December 31, 2024, were $4.2 billion, an increase of $134.8 million, or 3.3%, compared to September 30, 2024, and an increase of $330.4 million, or 8.6%, compared to December 31, 2023. Total commercial loan balances were $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $139.1 million, or 4.3%, compared to September 30, 2024, and an increase of $336.7 million, or 11.2%, compared to December 31, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company experienced strong growth across most of its commercial lines of business with notable contributions from construction, small business lending, public finance and single tenant lease financing.

Total consumer loan balances were $801.4 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 0.2%, compared to September 30, 2024, and an increase of $4.5 million, or 0.6%, compared to December 31, 2023. The decrease compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to lower balances in the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios, partially offset by a higher balance in the trailers portfolio.

Total delinquencies 30 days or more past due, excluding nonperforming loans, were 0.63% of total performing loans as of December 31, 2024, compared to 0.36% at September 30, 2024 and 0.11% as of December 31, 2023. The increase compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to an increase in


delinquencies in the small business lending and franchise finance portfolios, some of which was due to the timing of principal and interest payments. Subsequent to quarter end, payments were received from certain borrowers and as of the date of this release, delinquencies 30 days or more past due declined to 0.44% of total performing loans.

Nonperforming loans were 0.68% of total loans as of December 31, 2024, compared to 0.56% as of September 30, 2024, and 0.26% as of December 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans totaled $28.4 million at December 31, 2024, up from $22.5 million at September 30, 2024, and up from $10.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming loans during the fourth quarter of 2024 was due primarily to franchise finance and small business lending loans that were placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. At quarter end, there were $8.2 million of specific reserves held against the balance of nonperforming loans.

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 1.13% as of September 30, 2024, and 1.01% as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the ACL compared to the linked quarter reflects the decline in specific reserves and the elevated net charge-off activity discussed below, partially offset by qualitative adjustments to the small business lending ACL and overall loan growth.

Net charge-offs of $9.4 million were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 0.91%, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.15%, for the third quarter of 2024 and $1.2 million, or 0.12%, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2024 were elevated as the Company took action to resolve problem small business lending loans and de-risk the portfolio. Approximately $3.4 million of net charge-offs recognized during the quarter were related to small business lending loans with existing specific reserves.

The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $7.2 million, compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, and $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The provision for the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by the elevated net charge-offs, qualitative adjustments to the small business lending ACL and overall loan growth, partially offset by the decline in specific reserves and adjustments to qualitative factors on other portfolios.

Capital
As of December 31, 2024, total shareholders' equity was $384.1 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 0.3%, compared to September 30, 2024, and an increase of $21.3 million, or 5.9%, compared to December 31, 2023. The modest decrease in shareholders' equity during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by higher intermediate and long-term interest rates at quarter end, partially offset by the net income earned during the quarter. Book value per common share was $44.31 as of December 31, 2024, down from $44.43 as of September 30, 2024, and up from $41.97 as of December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share was $43.77, down from $43.89 as of September 30, 2024, and up from $41.43 as of December 31, 2023.
