Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• Our policy limits in this regard are consistent with supervisory limits and range from 50% in the case of land to 85% in the case of one to four family residential construction projects.
• While we typically expect loans with interest reserves to be repaid in full according to the original contractual terms, some loans may require one or more extensions beyond the original maturity before full repayment.
• The Company generally expects loans to be paid off from the operating profits of the borrowers, through refinancing by another lender, or through the borrowers' sales of collateral.
• The federal banking regulatory agencies issued final guidance on December 6, 2006, regarding risk management practices for financial institutions with high or increasing concentrations of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans on their balance sheets.
• The regulatory guidance reiterates the need for sound internal risk management practices for those institutions that have experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, have notable exposure to specific types of CRE, or are approaching or exceeding the supervisory criteria used to evaluate the CRE concentration risk, but the guidance is not to be construed as a limit for CRE exposure.
• The ACL is also influenced by the macroeconomic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model.
• To illustrate the sensitivity of the allowance to changes in economic assumptions, management estimates that applying a 100% weighting to the downside scenario would have increased the ACL by approximately $105.6 million as of September 30, 2026.
• The Company will continue to monitor future FDIC communications and guidance regarding any additional assessments or offsets.
• The amount of future dividends, if any, will depend on our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors, and will be determined by our Board of Directors.
• Given the current competitive environment for certificates of deposit and the rising interest rate environment, management anticipates that certain maturing time deposits may reprice at higher rates.
• Management also anticipates that a portion of these deposits may run off at maturity due to competitive pressures in the market where the Bank operates.
• However, based on our historical runoff experience, we expect such outflows will not be significant and can be replenished through normal deposit growth.
