Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026

• In connection with the Branch Closures, we expect to incur aggregate pre-tax expenses in an estimated range of approximately $20 million to $23 million.
• We expect the Initiatives to reduce our noninterest expense over time and, as a result, positively impact our pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), although we may reinvest a portion of any resulting savings into strategic growth initiatives.
• We believe the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which we believe will assist investors and analysts in analyzing the adjusted financial measures of the Company and predicting future performance.
• We consider accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could…
• The allowance for credit losses is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of lifetime expected losses based on reasonable and supportable forecasts, quantitative factors, and other qualitative considerations.
• The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for expected credit losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.
• Accordingly, the methodology is based on our reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, historical loss experience and other qualitative adjustments.
• Key inputs to estimate terminal fair value of the Company include projected forecasts, noninterest expense savings and a pricing multiple based on a group of peer banks with similar characteristics.
• Management assesses the reasonableness of its effective tax rate quarterly based on its current estimate of net income and the applicable taxes expected for the full year.
• The level of provision to the allowance is based on management’s judgment, with consideration given to the composition, maturity and other qualitative characteristics of the portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, past due and nonperforming loans and historical net credit loss experience.
• Variances from the plan are reviewed monthly and, when required, management takes corrective action intended to ensure financial goals are met.
• We expect the cash flows from principal maturities of securities to provide flexibility to fund future loan growth or reduce wholesale funding.
