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.
Unless we state otherwise or the context 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 Sales
On May 1, 2026, Mechanics Bank completed the previously announced sale of its DUS business line to Fifth Third and on September 16, 2026, completed the sale of the substantial majority of its remaining performing indirect auto loans. Refer to discussions in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-DUS Business Line Sale and -Auto Loans Sale."
In addition, in July 2026, as discussed in Note 3, "Debt Securities," the Company completed a balance sheet restructuring by selling low-yielding AFS securities and reinvesting in MBS at then current market rates.
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 nine months ended September 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
Third Quarter of 2026 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2026
General: Our net income and income before taxes were $46.0 million and $62.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $57.7 million and $79.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. The $16.8 million decrease in income before taxes compared to the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income due to losses on the sales of auto loans and AFS securities during the quarter. In addition, the third quarter included a reversal of provision for credit losses of $15.2 million, which was primarily driven by decreases in expected losses on our multifamily and CRE investor loans, corresponding decreases in qualitative factors and the auto loan portfolio sale.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2026 was 26.4% as compared to 27.2% in the second 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 tax benefits related to stock awards that vested in the third 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 all deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.33% and 1.25% for the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively.
Net interest income in the third quarter of 2026 was $2.3 million lower than the second quarter of 2026 primarily as a result of higher deposit costs and a $133.1 million decrease in average interest earning assets. Mechanics' net interest margin decreased from 3.62% to 3.55% primarily due to higher deposit costs, partially offset by higher investment securities interest income from the partial quarter benefit of the AFS securities restructuring. Dividends and interest income from FHLB stock and other investments in the third quarter of 2026 was also $1.2 million lower than the second quarter of 2026, which also contributed to the reduction in net interest margin.
Provision for Credit Losses: The reversal of provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2026, which consists of the provision for loans and unfunded commitments, was $15.2 million, compared to a reversal of provision of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2026. The reversal of provision for the third quarter was primarily driven by decreases in expected losses on our multifamily and CRE investor loans, corresponding decreases in qualitative factors and the auto loan portfolio sale.

Noninterest income (loss) in the third quarter of 2026 decreased $37.2 million from the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to the losses on the sales of auto loans and AFS securities during the quarter, partially offset by the increase in other noninterest income from a gain on other equity investments. In addition, noninterest income decreased in the third quarter of 2026 relative to the second quarter of 2026 due to the gain on sale of the Fannie Mae DUS business line in other noninterest income and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment in net gain (loss) on sales of loans in the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense decreased $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower acquisition and integration related costs and lower salaries and employee benefits expense due to headcount reductions as a result of continued integration following the Merger.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
General: Our net income and income before taxes were $147.8 million and $203.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to net income and net income before taxes of $154.6 million and $184.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $19.3 million increase in income before taxes compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income from the Merger and a decrease in provision for credit losses driven primarily by the auto portfolio sale, lower qualitative adjustments, lower balances and lower unfunded commitments reserves. The increase in income before taxes was partially offset by decreases in noninterest income due to losses on the sales of auto loans and AFS securities during 2026 and the bargain purchase gain from the Merger recognized in 2025 and increases in noninterest expense from the Merger.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 27.4% as compared to 16.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of a non-taxable $90.4 million bargain purchase gain from the Merger in 2025 and a $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets in 2026.
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.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $128.4 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase of $3.9 billion in average interest-earning assets, as well as an increase in net interest margin from 3.40% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.59% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as a result of the Merger.
Provision for Credit Losses: The reversal of provision for credit losses was $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a provision of $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was driven primarily by the auto portfolio sale, lower qualitative adjustments, lower balances and lower unfunded commitments reserves.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased $113.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to the losses on the sales of auto loans and AFS securities during 2026 and the bargain purchase gain from the Merger recognized in 2025. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income that resulted from a gain on other equity investments and gain on sale of the DUS business line in other noninterest income and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment in net gain (loss) on sales of loans in 2026.

Noninterest expense increased $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy costs, equipment expense, and amortization of intangibles, partially offset by lower acquisition and integration related costs from the Merger.
Financial Condition September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total assets decreased $1.4 billion, total liabilities decreased $1.1 billion and shareholders' equity decreased $294.9 million.
Investment Securities
Trading securities totaled $46.1 million and $49.5 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Securities available-for-sale increased by $298.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $4.3 billion at September 30, 2026, primarily due to purchases of agency MBS, partially offset by sales, paydowns and declines in fair values. During the third quarter of 2026, the Company performed a restructuring of the balance sheet through the sale of low-yielding AFS securities and reinvestment in MBS at then current market rates. Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $77.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, due to paydowns, and totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2026.
Loans
Total loans at September 30, 2026 were $13.0 billion, a decrease of $1.2 billion from $14.2 billion at December 31, 2025, due primarily to the sale of auto loans and loan repayments, partially offset by originations and advances.
Deposits
Total deposits decreased by $1.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $18.0 billion at September 30, 2026, due primarily to runoff of certificates of deposit, as well as a decrease in core deposits.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $6.3 billion and represented 35% of total deposits at September 30, 2026, compared to $6.7 billion, or 35% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025.
Insured deposits of $10.4 billion represented 58% of total deposits at September 30, 2026, compared to insured deposits of $12.2 billion, or 64% of total deposits at December 31, 2025.
Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
There were no outstanding borrowings at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Total long-term debt was $132.0 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $192.0 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was due to the redemption of the $65.0 million Senior Notes on March 1, 2026.
Equity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total shareholders' equity decreased by $294.9 million to $2.6 billion and tangible common equity (1) decreased by $173.3 million to $1.6 billion. The decrease in total shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings from net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in fair value of securities available-for-sale from higher interest rates. 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 September 30, 2026, book value per common share decreased to $11.59, compared to $12.93 at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, tangible book value per common share (1) decreased to $7.05, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. 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."

As of September 30, 2026, the expected loss rates increased when compared to December 31, 2025 due to higher forecasted product risk metrics in certain geographically concentrated areas, offset by sale of the auto loan portfolio and runoff of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction and land development portfolios.

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 September 30, 2026, Mechanics had available borrowing capacity of $5.8 billion from the FHLB, $4.2 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $427.5 million compared to an increase of $442.9 million during the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash of $93.4 million was provided by operating activities from ongoing bank operations, compared to $79.7 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Cash flows from investing activities
Mechanics' investing activities are primarily related to investment securities and LHFI. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash of $861.7 million was provided by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security sales, maturities and calls, proceeds from sales of loans, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash of $1.6 billion was provided by investing activities primarily from AFS investment security sales, maturities and calls and net loan originations and principal collections, and cash acquired in the Merger, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash of $1.4 billion was used by financing activities, due to a decrease in deposits, repayment of Senior Notes and dividends paid. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash of $1.2 billion was used by financing activities, due to repayment of FHLB advances acquired in the Merger and a decrease 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:

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 September 30, 2026, the capital conservation buffers for Mechanics Bancorp and Mechanics Bank were 8.73% and 8.96%, respectively.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.25 per share for Class A shareholders and $2.50 per share for Class B shareholders in the third quarter of 2026 and paid cash dividends of $1.35 per share for Class A shareholders and $13.50 per share for Class B shareholders for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2026.
