Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We had no significant changes in what constituted our accounting policies since the filing of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these to be critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest derived from assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by changes to market interest rates, the demand for loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.
The following table shows the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity; the amount of interest income, and interest expense; the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and the net interest spread and the net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances.

Securities average yield is calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net interest income was $63.2 million and $55.1 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $8.1 million, or 14.7%. This increase was primarily due to a $6.0 million effect from a decrease in interest rates and a $2.1 million effect from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, net of the effect of an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest expense decreased $5.2 million, or 11.8%, to $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease primarily resulted from $3.4 million of lower interest expense on money market and savings accounts and $1.3 million of lower interest expense on borrowings. Interest and dividend income increased $2.9 million, or 2.9%, to $102.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $99.3 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to $1.7 million and $1.3 million of higher interest income on commercial and industrial loans and residential loans, respectively, due to higher average loan balances, as well as a special dividend received on FHLB stock of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest spread and net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, were 2.23% and 3.38%, respectively, compared to 1.70% and 3.02%, respectively, for the same period in 2025.
The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $160.3 million, or 2.2%, to $7.54 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7.38 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by growth in average loans, which increased $244.8 million, or 4.0%, partially offset by a decrease of $80.4 million, or 8.0%, in the average balance of securities. The decline in the average balance of securities was due to maturities exceeding purchases between the first quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, which aided the growth in loans and the decline in borrowings.
The average yield on interest-earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased three basis points to 5.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 5.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average yield on FHLB stock increased by 11.64% to 20.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 8.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily
due to a $0.5 million special dividend received on FHLB stock. The average yield on securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased to 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 2.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average yield on loans decreased to 5.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 5.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $88.5 million, or 1.9%, to $4.86 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $4.77 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balances of time deposits and money market and savings accounts increased by $177.2 million and $26.0 million, respectively, offset partially by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $110.1 million and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposit accounts of $4.4 million.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 50 basis points to 3.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decline of 49 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, which was 3.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 3.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Within interest-bearing deposits, the average cost of money market and savings accounts and time deposits decreased by 70 basis points and 37 basis points, respectively, due to a decline in market rates. The average cost of borrowings decreased by 63 basis points to 3.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with 4.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Credit Loss Expense
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded $2.9 million of credit loss expense, comprising a $3.2 million provision for loan losses and a $0.3 million recovery for off-balance sheet items. For the same period in 2025, the Company recorded $2.7 million of credit loss expense, comprising a $2.4 million provision for loan losses and a $0.3 million provision for off-balance sheet items. The $0.8 million increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to higher net charge-offs, which were $0.7 million higher in the three months ended March 31, 2026 than in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
See also "Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Off-Balance Sheet Items" for further details.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, noninterest income was $8.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared with noninterest income of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due primarily to higher gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans, which increased by $0.3 million due to a higher volume of loans sold, and higher bank-owned life insurance income, which increased $0.3 million due to death benefit claims.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company sold $31.7 million of residential loans, recognizing a net gain of $0.5 million, and sold $32.5 million of SBA loans, recognizing a net gain of $2.1 million. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company sold $10.0 million of residential loans, recognizing a net gain of $0.2 million, and sold $32.2 million of SBA loans, recognizing a net gain of $2.0 million. Trade premiums on SBA loan sales were 7.88% and 7.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Trade premiums on residential mortgage loan sales remained consistent at 2.50% for the first three months of both 2026 and 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, noninterest expense was $38.4 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 9.7%, compared with $35.0 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly attributed to a $1.3 million increase in professional fees, a $1.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $0.7 million increase in all other operating expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in data processing, partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in other-real-estate-owned expense (income).
The $1.3 million increase in professional fees was due primarily to a $0.8 million increase in legal fees related to business activities and a $0.5 million increase in consulting and advisory fees for various corporate initiatives. The $1.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to merit increases and higher headcount. The $0.7 million increase in all other operating expenses was related to several administrative matters. The $0.6 million increase in data processing was due to higher software license and maintenance expenses and higher transaction processing fees. The $0.4 million decrease in other-real-estate-owned expense (income) was due primarily to a $0.9 million gain on the sales of two properties, partially offset by $0.3 million in property taxes paid for one of those properties at the time of sale during the first quarter of 2026.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $7.9 million and $7.4 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 26.0% and 29.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects the tax benefit arising from the first-quarter vesting of performance stock units, as well as a favorable change in the State of California's apportionment calculation.
Financial Condition
Securities
As of March 31, 2026, our securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities, tax-exempt municipal bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. Most of these securities carry fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, there were no securities of any one issuer exceeding 10% of stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Securities decreased $44.9 million to $835.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $880.6 million at December 31, 2025, mainly attributed to $76.8 million in payments and maturities as well as a $3.2 million decline in market value , partially offset by $35.7 million in purchases.

Special mention loans were $93.7 million and $71.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The $22.6 million increase in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the downgrade of a $21.2 million commercial real estate loan in the retail industry.
Classified loans were $22.7 million and $25.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The $3.2 million decrease in classified loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulted from $12.8 million of reductions and $9.6 million of additions. Included in reductions is a $9.7 million payment on a commercial real estate office loan that had a balance of $10.2 million at December 31, 2025. Included in additions is a $5.0 million commercial and industrial loan in the hospitality industry, which was modified during the first quarter of 2026 to allow for temporary interest-only payments.
Nonperforming Assets
Loans 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were $13.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared with $19.9 million at December 31, 2025. There were no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan's delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected, which generally occurs after sustained payment of six months. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means.
Except for nonaccrual loans, management is not aware of any other loans as of March 31, 2026 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would result in a loan being designated as nonperforming at some future date.

Nonperforming loans were $12.4 million and $18.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of $5.7 million, or 31.5%. The decrease was primarily due to the previously mentioned $9.7 million payment received on a commercial real estate office loan, originally designated as nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by the downgrades of several smaller loans during the first quarter of 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 1.2% and 1.3% of equipment financing agreements were on nonaccrual status, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.
The $12.4 million of nonperforming loans as of March 31, 2026 had specific allowances of $3.2 million, compared to $18.1 million of nonperforming loans with specific allowances of $3.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
Nonperforming assets were $12.4 million at March 31, 2026, or 0.16% of total assets, compared to $20.1 million, or 0.26%, at December 31, 2025. Additionally, not included in nonperforming assets was repossessed personal property associated with equipment finance agreements of $0.3 million and $0.6 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Individually Evaluated Loans
The Company reviews loans on an individual basis when the loan does not share similar risk characteristics with loan pools. Individually evaluated loans are measured for expected credit losses based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair value of collateral.
Individually evaluated loans were $12.4 million and $18.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of $5.7 million, or 31.5%. Specific allowances associated with individually evaluated loans decreased $0.2 million to $3.2 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $3.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
A borrower is experiencing financial difficulties when there is a probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Company may modify loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing principal forgiveness, a term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or an interest rate reduction.
The following table presents loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification, with related amortized cost balances, respective percentage shares of the total class of loans, and the related financial effect, as of the period indicated:

No loans were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The modified loan above was current at March 31, 2026. The Company has not committed to lend any additional amounts to the borrower included in the table above as of March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no payment defaults on loans modified within the preceding 12 months.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Off-Balance Sheet Items
The Company's estimate of the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 reflected losses expected over the remaining contractual life of assets based on historical, current, and forward-looking information. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications.
Our allowance for credit losses incorporate a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, that management believes is appropriate to absorb lifetime credit losses at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include the general economic forecast in our markets, risk ratings, delinquency trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming, criticized and classified loans, and other factors.
We use qualitative factors to adjust the allowance calculation for risks not considered by the quantitative calculations. Qualitative factors considered in our methodologies include concentrations of credit, changes in lending management and staff, and quality of the loan review system.
The Company reviews baseline and alternative economic scenarios from Moody's (previously known as Moody's Analytics, a subsidiary of Moody's Corporation) for consideration in the quantitative portion of our analysis of the allowance for credit losses. Moody's publishes a baseline forecast that represents the estimate of the most likely path for the United States economy through the current business cycle (50% probability that economic conditions will be worse and 50% probability that economic conditions will be better) as well as alternative scenarios to examine how different types of shocks will affect the future performance of the United States economy.
The Company utilizes a midpoint approach of multiple forward-looking scenarios to incorporate losses from a baseline, upside (stronger near-term growth) and downside (slower near-term growth) economy. As a result, the upside and downside scenarios each receive a weight of 30%, and the baseline receives a weight of 40%.
Certain quantitative and qualitative factors used to estimate credit losses and establish an allowance for credit losses are subject to uncertainty. The adequacy of our allowance for credit losses is sensitive to changes in current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to make contractual payments as well as the value of the collateral securing such payments.
Although management believes it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary and the Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.
In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted without uncertainty, the existing allowance for credit losses may not be adequate or increases may be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed. Any material increase in the allowance for credit losses would adversely impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
The following table reflects our allocation of the allowance for credit losses by loan category as well as the amount of loans in each loan category, including related percentages, as of the periods indicated:

The allowance for credit losses was $70.5 million and $69.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The allowance attributed to individually evaluated loans was $3.2 million and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The allowance attributed to collectively evaluated loans was $67.3 million and $66.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items, primarily unfunded loan commitments, was $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Bank closely monitors each borrower's repayment capabilities while funding existing commitments to ensure losses are minimized. Based on management's evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality, prevailing economic conditions and economic forecasts, we believe these allowances were adequate for current expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure as of March 31, 2026.

Total deposits were $6.80 billion and $6.68 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing an increase of $123.0 million, or 1.8%. While all deposit types increased, deposit growth was primarily driven by a $72.0 million increase in time deposits, a $31.9 million increase in money market and savings deposits, and a $15.5 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. At March 31, 2026, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 96.2% compared to 98.3% at December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits (deposits in amounts greater than $250,000, which is the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance) was $3.0 billion. The aggregate amount of uninsured time deposits was $809.2 million. Other uninsured deposits, such as demand and money market and savings deposits were $2.19 billion. At March 31, 2026, $1.44 billion of total uninsured deposits were in accounts with balances of $5.0 million or more. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $2.92 billion. The aggregate amount of uninsured time deposits was $750.8 million. Other uninsured deposits, such as demand, money market and savings deposits, were $2.17 billion. At December 31, 2025, $1.34 billion of total uninsured deposits were in accounts with balances of $5.0 million or more.
The Bank's wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances, brokered deposits as well as State of California time deposits. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had no outstanding FHLB advances. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank had $150.0 million of FHLB advances. The Bank had $88.5 million of brokered deposits at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Bank also had had $150.0 million of State of California time deposits as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures
Borrowings mostly take the form of FHLB advances. At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding FHLB advances. At December 31, 2025, FHLB advances were $150.0 million, all of which were term advances. Funds from deposit growth not used to fund loan production were used to pay off borrowings. The weighted-average interest rate of all FHLB advances at December 31, 2025 was 4.02%. The FHLB maximum amount outstanding at any month end during each of the year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $90.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. There were no contractual maturities of FHLB advances greater than twelve months at December 31, 2025.
Subordinated debentures were $131.4 million and $131.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Subordinated debentures are comprised of fixed-to-floating subordinated notes of $108.8 million and $108.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of $22.6 million and $22.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See "Note 8 - Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures" to the consolidated financial statements for more details.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity was $802.8 million and $796.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The $6.4 million increase included net income of $22.6 million and share-based compensation of $0.7 million, partially offset by $8.6 million of dividends paid, $4.8 million in share repurchases, a $2.3 million increase in unrealized after-tax losses on securities available for sale, a $0.1 million decrease in unrealized after-tax gains on cash flow hedges due to changes in interest rates, and $1.1 million of shares that were purchased to satisfy employees' tax liabilities for the vesting of stock compensation. The Company repurchased 185,707 shares of common stock during the period at an average share price of $25.89. At March 31, 2026, 2,151,495 shares remain under the Company's share repurchase program.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.
The Company performs simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below) as of March 31, 2026. The Company compares this stress simulation to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over 1- to 12-month and 13- to 24- month horizons, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions, including the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
The key assumptions, based upon loans, securities and deposits, are as follows:

While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources
Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate capital levels, the Board regularly assesses projected sources and uses of capital, expected loan growth, anticipated strategic actions (such as stock repurchases and dividends), and projected capital thresholds under adverse and severely adverse economic conditions. In addition, the Board considers the Company's access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional debt and securities, including common stock or notes, to meet its capital needs.
The Company's ability to pay dividends to stockholders depends in part upon dividends it receives from the Bank. California law restricts the amount available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank's retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to stockholders made during such period). Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the prior approval of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ("DFPI"), in an amount not exceeding the greater of: (1) retained earnings of the Bank; (2) net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year. The Company paid dividends of $8.4 million ($0.28 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $32.6 million ($1.08 per share) for the year 2025. As of April 1, 2026, the Bank had the ability to pay dividends of approximately $68.4 million, after giving effect to the $0.28 dividend declared on April 23, 2026, for the second quarter of 2026, without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI.
At March 31, 2026, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio of 14.45%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.37%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.37% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.74% placed the Bank in the "well capitalized" category pursuant to capital rules, which is defined as institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00%.
At March 31, 2026, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.22%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.52%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.20% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.93%.
