Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• We will continue our strategy to allow the consumer mortgage portfolio to amortize, including those loans acquired through our acquisition of WFB.
• We perform a quarterly assessment to develop an estimate of expected credit losses on the investment portfolio, which considers the nature of the investments, credit ratings, current interest rate environment, the financial health of the issuer, ratings changes and outlook, explicit and implicit guarantees, and insurance programs, among other factors.
• We intend to hold these securities either until maturity or a forecasted recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.
• We expect to continue to develop new products that generate noninterest income, and enhance our existing products, in order to diversify our revenue sources.
• The reversal of credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to changes in the economic forecast, loan mix and the completion of our CECL allowance model recalibration.
• The decrease in the ACL to total loans compared to September 30, 2025 was primarily due to the completion of our CECL allowance model recalibration and changes in the economic forecast.
• As part of its asset and liability management, the Company utilizes pay-variable interest rate swaps to manage exposure against the variability in the expected future cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in the 1-month SOFR associated with certain variable-rate loans.
• The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is approximately 2.9 years.
• Accordingly, our ability to proactively structure the volume and mix of our assets and liabilities to address anticipated changes in interest rates, as well as to react quickly to such fluctuations, can significantly impact our financial results.
• For example, a rapid drop in interest rates might cause our loans to be repaid at a more rapid pace and certain mortgage-related investments to prepay more quickly than projected.
• This could mitigate some of the benefits of falling rates as are expected when we are in a negatively-gapped position.
• To minimize funding risks, we closely monitor our liquidity position through periodic reviews of maturity profiles, yield and rate behaviors, and loan and deposit forecasts.
