Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026

• Allowance for Credit Losses ( “a llowance ” ) : The allowance is maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses identified and expected in the loan portfolio.
• Our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on historical credit loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, guidance from bank regulatory agencies, and assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the loan portfolio.
• The valuation model utilizes mortgage loan prepayment speeds, the remaining life of the mortgage loan pool, delinquency rates, our cost to service loans, and other factors to determine the cash flow that we will receive from servicing each grouping of loans.
• Our policy dictates recognition of an impairment loss equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and fair value if the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount.
• We employ a variety of means in determining fair value, including the use of discounted cash flow analysis, market comparisons and projected future revenue streams.
• Eastern Michigan Bank will operate alongside Mercantile Bank until the first quarter of 2027, at which time we plan to consolidate Eastern Michigan Bank into Mercantile Bank in conjunction with the completion of the conversion of our core operating system to a new provider.
• Our current pipeline reports indicate continued strong commercial loan funding opportunities in future periods, including $288 million in committed and accepted new lending commitments, a majority of which we expect to be accepted and funded over the next 12 to 18 months.
• We expect this loan portfolio segment to remain relatively stable in dollar amount but decline as a percentage of total loans in future periods as the commercial loan segment grows.
• We continue our collection efforts on charged-off loans and expect to record recoveries in future periods; however, given the nature of these efforts, it is not practical to forecast the dollar amount and timing of the recoveries.
• Although we believe the allowance is adequate to absorb loan losses in our loan portfolio as they arise, there can be no assurance that we will not sustain loan losses in any given period that could be substantial in relation to, or greater than, the size of the allowance.
• We expect any upcoming purchases to generally consist of U.S.
• We have regularly received quarterly cash dividends, and we expect a cash dividend will continue to be paid in future quarterly periods.
