Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ### Note 1 Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (“First Commonwealth” or the “Company”) conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual realized amounts could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of First Commonwealth’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity as of and for the periods presented. Certain information and Note disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank deposits. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of 2026. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with First Commonwealth’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. ### Note 2 Acquisition On April 30, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of CenterGroup Financial, Inc. (“Center”) and its banking subsidiary, CenterBank, for consideration of 3,016,009 shares of the Company's common stock. Through the acquisition, the Company obtained three full-service banking offices, a loan production office and a mortgage office, all located in the Cincinnati, Ohio market. ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The table below summarizes the net assets acquired (at fair value) and consideration transferred in connection with the Center acquisition (dollars in thousands): | Consideration paid | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Cash paid to shareholders - fractional shares | $1 | | | | Shares issued to shareholders (3,016,009 shares) | 46,205 | | | | Total consideration paid | | $ | $46,206 | | Fair value of assets acquired | | | | | Cash and due from banks | 4,672 | | | | Investment securities | 21,396 | | | | FHLB stock | 3,144 | | | | Loans, including loans held for sale | 291,852 | | | | Premises and equipment | 4,276 | | | | Core deposit intangible | 5,355 | | | | Bank owned life insurance | 430 | | | | Other assets | 5,039 | | | | Total assets acquired | | 336,164 | | | Fair value of liabilities assumed | | | | | Deposits | 277,980 | | | | Borrowings | 22,785 | | | | Other liabilities | 3,692 | | | | Total liabilities assumed | | 304,457 | | | Total fair value of identifiable net assets | | $ | $31,707 | | Goodwill | | $ | $14,499 | The Company determined that this acquisition constitutes a business combination and therefore was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, as of the date of the acquisition, the Company recorded the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration paid at fair value. The $14.5 million excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is not amortizable or deductible for tax purposes. The amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company with Center. The fair value of the 3,016,009 common shares issued was determined based on the $15.32 closing market price of the Company's common shares on the acquisition date, April 30, 2025. The valuation of acquired assets and liabilities was completed in the third quarter of 2025. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company used an independent valuation specialist to assist with the determination of fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Cash and due from banks - The estimated fair value was determined to approximate the carrying amount of these assets. Investment securities - The estimated fair value of the investment portfolio was based on quoted market prices. Loans - The estimated fair value of loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology applied on a pooled basis for non- purchased credit-deteriorated ("non-PCD") loans and on an individual basis for purchased credit-deteriorated ("PCD") loans. The valuation considered underlying characteristics including loan type, term, rate, payment schedule and credit rating. Other factors included assumptions related to prepayments, the probability of default and loss given default. The discount rates applied were based on a build-up approach considering the funding mix, servicing costs, liquidity premium and factors related to performance risk. 11 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Acquired loans are classified into two categories: PCD loans and non-PCD loans. PCD loans are defined as a loan or group of loans that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Non-PCD loans will have an allowance established on acquisition date, which is recognized as an expense through provision for credit losses. For PCD loans, an allowance is recognized on day 1 by adding it to the fair value of the loan, which is the “Day 1 amortized cost”. There is no provision for credit loss expense recognized on PCD loans because the initial allowance is established by grossing-up the amortized cost of the PCD loan. A day 1 allowance for credit losses of $3.4 million related to non-PCD loans and $0.4 million related to the off-balance sheet commitment liability was recorded through the provision for credit losses within the Consolidated Statements of Income. At the date of acquisition, of the $303.7 million of portfolio loans acquired from Center, $29.2 million, or 9.6%, of Center's loan portfolio, was accounted for as PCD loans as of May 1, 2025. Premise and equipment - The estimated fair value of land and buildings were determined by independent market-based appraisals. Core deposit intangible - The core deposit intangible was valued utilizing the cost savings method approach, which recognizes the cost savings represented by the expense of maintaining the core deposit base versus the cost of an alternative funding source. The valuation incorporates assumptions related to account retention, discount rates, deposit interest rates, deposit maintenance costs and alternative funding rates. Time deposits - The estimated fair value of time deposits was determined using a discounted cash flow approach incorporating a discount rate equal to current market interest rates offered on time deposits with similar terms and maturities. Borrowings - The estimated fair value of short-term borrowings was determined to approximate stated value. Long-term debt with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati was valued using the prepayment penalty for payoff on April 30, 2025. The following table provides details related to the fair value of acquired PCD loans as of April 30, 2025. _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | Unpaid Principal Balance | PCD Allowance for Credit Loss at Acquisition | (Discount) Premium on Acquired Loans | Fair Value of PCD Loans at Acquisition | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Commercial, financial, agricultural and other | $13,302 | $(1,616) | $(487) | $11,199 | | Time and demand | 13,302 | (1,616) | (487) | 11,199 | | Real estate construction | 2,442 | (810) | (54) | 1,578 | | Construction other | 557 | (182) | (17) | 358 | | Construction residential | 1,885 | (628) | (37) | 1,220 | | Residential real estate | 3,845 | (45) | (138) | 3,662 | | Residential first lien | 3,372 | (38) | (137) | 3,197 | | Residential junior lien/home equity | 473 | (7) | (1) | 465 | | Commercial real estate | 9,604 | (1,087) | (330) | 8,187 | | Multifamily | 1,210 | (120) | (78) | 1,012 | | Non-owner occupied | 5,330 | (943) | (184) | 4,203 | | Owner occupied | 3,064 | (24) | (68) | 2,972 | | Loans to individuals | 30 | (2) | — | 28 | | Automobile and recreational vehicles | 14 | (1) | — | 13 | | Consumer other | 16 | (1) | — | 15 | | Total loans and leases | $29,223 | $(3,560) | $(1,009) | $24,654 | 12 ITEM 1.

The contract or notional amount of these instruments reflects the maximum amount of future payments that First Commonwealth could be required to pay under the guarantees if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. In addition, many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The following table identifies the notional amount of those instruments at the date shown below: _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | | --- | --- | --- | | Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: | | | | Commitments to extend credit | $2,355,525 | $2,425,873 | | Financial standby letters of credit | 13,882 | 14,371 | | Performance standby letters of credit | 13,834 | 16,620 | | Commercial letters of credit | 459 | 569 | 16 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The notional amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2026 include amounts issued in 2026 of $0.9 million in performance standby letters of credit. There were no financial standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit issued in 2026. A liability of $0.3 million has been recorded as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which represents the estimated fair value of letters of credit issued. The fair value of letters of credit is estimated based on the unrecognized portion of fees received at the time the commitment was issued. Unused commitments and letters of credit provide exposure to future credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower or guaranteed parties. Management’s evaluation of the credit risk related to these commitments resulted in the recording of a liability of $6.6 million and $8.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This liability is reflected in "Other liabilities" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The credit risk evaluation incorporates the expected loss percentage calculated for comparable loan categories as part of the allowance for credit losses for loans as well as estimated utilization for each loan category. Legal Proceedings First Commonwealth and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of June 30, 2026, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against First Commonwealth or its subsidiaries will be material to First Commonwealth’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis, First Commonwealth assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that First Commonwealth will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, First Commonwealth records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. Although not considered probable, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters in the aggregate, beyond the existing recorded liability (if any), is between $0 and $1 million. Although First Commonwealth does not believe that the outcome of pending litigation will be material to First Commonwealth’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for a particular reporting period in the future. 17 ITEM 1.

These obligations have contractual maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately 41 years, with lower anticipated lives to maturity due to prepayments. All mortgage-backed securities contain a certain amount of risk related to the uncertainty of prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Interest rate changes have a direct impact upon prepayment speeds; therefore, First Commonwealth uses computer simulation models to test the average life and yield volatility of all mortgage-backed securities under various interest rate scenarios to monitor the potential impact on earnings and interest rate risk positions. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Other fixed income securities within the portfolio also contain prepayment risk. 18 ITEM 1.

Additionally, $21.4 million in proceeds from sales are a result of the sale of investments acquired as part of the Center acquisition. All of the acquired investments were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and subsequently sold at the same value. Securities available for sale with an estimated fair value of $591.1 million and $624.0 million were pledged as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law. Equity Securities During the second quarter of 2024, Visa commenced an exchange offer for any and all outstanding shares of its Class B-1 common stock for a combination of Visa's Class B-2 common stock, Class C common stock and, where applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares. As part of this exchange, each share of Class B-1 common stock would be exchanged for one half share of the newly issued Class B-2 common stock and Class C common stock would be issued in an amount equivalent to one half of a share of Class B-1 common stock. The Company opted to participate in this exchange offer prior to its expiration and received 19 ITEM 1.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Other Investments As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), First Commonwealth is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements. The level of stock required to be held is dependent on the amount of First Commonwealth's mortgage-related assets and outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. This stock is restricted in that it can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par. As a result of these restrictions, FHLB stock is unlike other investment securities insofar as there is no trading market for FHLB stock and the transfer price is determined by FHLB membership rules and not by market participants. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our FHLB stock totaled $29.2 million and $32.6 million, respectively, and is included in “Other investments” on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. First Commonwealth evaluates impairment quarterly and has concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded on these securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, "Other investments" also includes $5.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, in equity securities. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value and are carried at cost. During the six-months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no gains or losses recognized through earnings on these equity securities. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates equity securities by reviewing the severity and duration of any decline in estimated fair value, research reports, analysts’ recommendations, credit rating changes, news stories, annual reports, regulatory filings, the impact of interest rate changes and other relevant information. Impairment of Investment Securities We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. For available for sale securities, the review includes analyzing the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and whether we are more likely than not to sell the security. We evaluate whether we are more likely than not to sell debt securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy, tax position and interest rate risk position. Held-to-maturity securities are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis using historical probability of default and loss given default information specific to the investment category. If this evaluation determines that credit losses exist, an allowance for credit loss is recorded and included in earnings as a component of credit loss expense. First Commonwealth utilizes the specific identification method to determine the net gain or loss on debt securities and the average cost method to determine the net gain or loss on equity securities. The following table presents the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair values at June 30, 2026, for available for sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded and held to maturity securities by investment category and time frame for which securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Less Than 12 Months | | | | 12 Months or More | | | | Total | | | | | | EstimatedFair Value | | GrossUnrealizedLosses | | EstimatedFair Value | | GrossUnrealizedLosses | | EstimatedFair Value | | GrossUnrealizedLosses | | | | (dollars in thousands) | | | | | | | | | | | | | Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mortgage-Backed Securities – Residential | $ | — | $ | — | $ | $2,654 | $ | $(327) | $ | $2,654 | $ | $(327) | | Mortgage-Backed Securities – Commercial | 379,147 | | (4,380) | | 236,676 | | (56,334) | | 615,823 | | (60,714) | | | Obligations of U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mortgage-Backed Securities – Residential | 220,112 | | (2,160) | | 409,615 | | (77,302) | | 629,727 | | (79,462) | | | Other Government-Sponsored Enterprises | — | | — | | 21,477 | | (2,888) | | 21,477 | | (2,888) | | | Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions | 1,345 | | (4) | | 24,661 | | (1,884) | | 26,006 | | (1,888) | | | Debt Securities Issued by Foreign Governments | — | | — | | 198 | | (2) | | 198 | | (2) | | | Corporate Securities | 2,469 | | (31) | | 22,845 | | (983) | | 25,314 | | (1,014) | | | Total Securities | $ | $603,073 | $ | $(6,575) | $ | $718,126 | $ | $(139,720) | $ | $1,321,199 | $ | $(146,295) | 21 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) At June 30, 2026, fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government and U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises comprised 96% of the estimated fair value for the total portfolio and 98% of total unrealized losses. All unrealized losses are the result of changes in market interest rates. At June 30, 2026, there are 234 debt securities in the portfolio, with 168 debt securities in an unrealized loss position.

As of December 31, 2025, our corporate securities had an amortized cost and estimated fair value of $47.0 million and $46.5 million, respectively. Corporate securities are comprised of debt issued by large regional banks. There were 6 corporate securities out of a total of 11 that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2026 and 7 corporate securities out of a total of 12 that were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025. When unrealized losses exist, management reviews each of the issuer’s asset quality, earnings trends and capital position to determine whether the unrealized loss position is a result of credit losses. All interest payments on the corporate securities are being made as contractually required. There was no expected credit related impairment recognized on investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 22 ITEM 1.

When calculating the allowance for credit losses these categories are classified into fourteen portfolio segments. The composition of loans by portfolio segment includes: #### Commercial, financial, agricultural and other Time & Demand - Consists primarily of commercial and industrial loans. This category consists of loans that are typically cash flow dependent and therefore have different risk and loss characteristics than other commercial loans. Loans in this category include revolving and term structures with fixed and variable interest rates. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of business bankruptcies and economic conditions measured by GDP. Commercial Credit Cards - Consists of unsecured credit cards for commercial customers. These commercial credit cards have separate characteristics outside of normal commercial non-real estate loans, as they tend to have shorter overall duration. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of business bankruptcies and economic conditions measured by GDP. Equipment Finance - Consists of loans and leases to finance the purchase of equipment for commercial customers. The risk and loss characteristics are unique for this group due to the type of collateral. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of business bankruptcies and economic conditions measured by GDP. Time & Demand Other - Consists primarily of loans to state and political subdivisions and other commercial loans that have different characteristics than loans in the Time and Demand category. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of household obligations ratio and economic conditions measured by GDP. 23 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) ### Real estate construction Construction Other - Consists of construction loans to commercial builders and developers and are secured by the properties under development. Construction Residential - Consists of loans to finance the construction of residential properties during the construction period. Borrowers are typically individuals who will occupy the completed single family property. The risk and loss characteristics of these two construction categories are different than other real estate secured categories due to the collateral being at various stages of completion. The nature of the project and type of borrower of the two construction categories provides for unique risk and loss characteristics for each category. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for construction loans include forecasts of national unemployment and measures of completed construction projects. ### Residential real estate Residential first lien - Consists of loans with collateral of 1-4 family residencies with a senior lien position. The risk and loss characteristics are unique for this group because the collateral for these loans are the borrower’s primary residence. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and residential property values. Residential Junior Lien/Home Equity - Consists of loans with collateral of 1-4 family residencies with an open end line of credit or junior lien position. The junior lien position for the majority of these loans provides a higher risk of loss than other residential real estate loans. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and residential property values. ### Commercial real estate Multifamily - Consists of loans secured by commercial multifamily properties. Real estate related to rentals to consumers provide unique risk and loss characteristics. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of completed multifamily construction projects and national unemployment. Non-owner Occupied - Consists of loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate and provides different loss characteristics than other real estate categories. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and changes in the price of commercial real estate. Owner Occupied - Consists of loans secured by commercial real estate owner occupied properties. The risk and loss characteristics of this category were considered different than other real estate categories because it is owner occupied and would impact the ability to conduct business. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions as measured by GDP. ### Loans to individuals Automobile and Recreational Vehicles - Consists of both direct and indirect loans with automobiles and recreational vehicles held as collateral. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of automobile retention value and business bankruptcies, which are better correlated with defaults in this category at this point in the economic cycle. Consumer Credit Cards – Consists of unsecured consumer credit cards. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of consumer sentiment and median family income. Other Consumer - Consists of lines of credit, student loans and other consumer loans, not secured by real estate or autos. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of consumer confidence and retail sales. Calculation of the Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is calculated by pooling loans with similar credit risk characteristics and applying a discounted cash flow methodology after incorporating probability of default and loss given default estimates. Probability of default represents an estimate of the likelihood of default, and loss given default measures the expected loss upon default. Inputs impacting the expected losses include a forecast of macroeconomic factors, using a weighted forecast from a nationally recognized firm. Our model incorporates a one-year forecast of macroeconomic factors, after which the factors revert back to 24 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) the historical mean over a one-year period. The most significant macroeconomic factor used in estimating credit losses is the national unemployment rate. The forecasted value for national unemployment at the beginning of the forecast period was 4.23%, and during the one-year forecast period it was projected to average 5.13%, with a peak of 5.46%. Credit Quality Information As part of the on-going monitoring of credit quality within the loan portfolio, the following credit worthiness categories are used in grading our loans: Pass Acceptable levels of risk exist in the relationship. Includes all loans not classified as OAEM, substandard or doubtful. Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) Potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. The potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or weaken the Company’s credit position at some future date. The credit risk may be relatively minor, yet constitute an undesirable risk in light of the circumstances surrounding the specific credit. No loss of principal or interest is expected. Substandard Well-defined weakness or a weakness that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt. A loan may be classified as substandard as a result of deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition and repayment capacity. Loans for which repayment plans have not been met or collateral equity margins do not protect the Company may also be classified as substandard. Doubtful Loans with the characteristics of substandard loans with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of presently existing facts and conditions, is highly improbable. The Company’s internal creditworthiness grading system provides a measurement of credit risk based primarily on an evaluation of the borrower’s cash flow and collateral. Category ratings are reviewed each quarter, at which time management analyzes the results, as well as other external statistics and factors related to loan performance. The following tables represent our credit risk profile by creditworthiness category. In the table for the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance of the doubtful category had been fully provided for in the allowance for credit losses and was subsequently charged-off in the first quarter of 2026 25 ITEM 1.

The Company generally places loans on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain, when part of the principal balance has been charged off and no restructuring has occurred, or the loans reach a certain number of days past due. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, except for most consumer loans, which are placed on nonaccrual status at 150 days past due. Consumer loans related to automobile and recreational vehicles are either charged off or repossessed at no later than 90 days past due unless the borrower is in the process of collection through bankruptcy proceedings. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, the accrued unpaid interest receivable is reversed against interest income and all future payments received are applied as a reduction to the loan principal. Generally, the loan is returned to accrual status when (a) all delinquent interest and principal becomes current under the terms of the loan agreement or (b) the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no longer in doubt. Nonaccrual loans in the above tables include loans with government guarantees of $23.3 million at June 30, 2026 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2025. Nonperforming Loans Management considers loans to be nonperforming when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract, including scheduled interest payments. When management identifies a loan as nonperforming, the credit loss is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole source for repayment of the loan is the operation or liquidation of collateral. When the loan is collateral dependent, the appraised value less estimated cost to sell is 32 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) utilized. If management determines that the value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a credit loss is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of a nonperforming loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of a nonperforming loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no nonperforming loans held for sale. During both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no gains recognized on the sale of nonperforming loans. The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balance for nonperforming loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Also presented are the average recorded investment in nonperforming loans and the related amount of interest recognized while the loan was considered nonperforming. Average balances are calculated using month-end balances of the loans for the period reported and are included in the table below based on their period-end allowance position. 33 ITEM 1.

The impact of this standard primarily relates to operating leases of certain real estate properties, including certain branch and ATM locations and office space. First Commonwealth has no material leasing arrangements for which it is the lessor of property or equipment. 44 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following table represents the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Condition classification of the Company’s right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities, lease costs and other lease information. | Balance sheet: | June 30, 2026 / (dollars in thousands) | December 31, 2025 / (dollars in thousands) | | --- | --- | --- | | Operating lease asset classified as premises and equipment | $36,176 | $38,170 | | Operating lease liability classified as other liabilities | 40,582 | 42,627 | | | For the Six Months Ended | | | | June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2025 | | Income statement: | (dollars in thousands) | | | Operating lease cost classified as occupancy and equipment expense | $2,729 | $2,878 | | Weighted average lease term, in years | 11.33 | 12.66 | | Weighted average discount rate | 4.15% | 3.87% | | Operating cash flows | $2,779 | $2,891 | The ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. First Commonwealth's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion. If we consider the renewal option to be reasonably certain, we include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. First Commonwealth uses incremental borrowing rates when calculating the lease liability because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate used by First Commonwealth is an amortizing loan rate obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh. This rate is consistent with a collateralized borrowing rate and is available for terms similar to the lease payment schedules. Future minimum payments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of June 30, 2026 were as follows (dollars in thousands): | For the twelve months ended: | | | | --- | --- | --- | | June 30, 2027 | $ | $5,439 | | June 30, 2028 | 4,998 | | | June 30, 2029 | 4,891 | | | June 30, 2030 | 4,580 | | | June 30, 2031 | 4,258 | | | Thereafter | 27,139 | | | Total future minimum lease payments | 51,305 | | | Less remaining imputed interest | 10,723 | | | Operating lease liability | $ | $40,582 | ### Note 10 Income Taxes In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, First Commonwealth had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. If applicable, First Commonwealth will record interest and penalties as a component of noninterest expense. First Commonwealth is subject to routine audits of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as well as all states in which we conduct business. Generally, tax years prior to the year ended December 31, 2022 are no longer open to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. 45 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) ### Note 11 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("Topic 820"), requires disclosures for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). All non-financial assets are included either as a separate line item on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition or in the “Other assets” category of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Currently, First Commonwealth does not have any non-financial liabilities to disclose. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” ("Topic 825"), permits entities to irrevocably elect to measure select financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses are required to be included in earnings each reporting period for the items that fair value measurement is elected. First Commonwealth has elected not to measure any existing financial instruments at fair value under Topic 825; however, in the future we may elect to adopt this guidance for select financial instruments. In accordance with Topic 820, First Commonwealth groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the principal markets in which the assets and liabilities are transacted and the observability of the data points used to determine fair value. These levels are: - Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained for observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities from alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Level 2 includes Obligations of U.S. Government securities issued by Agencies and Sponsored Enterprises, Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions, corporate securities, loans held for sale, interest rate derivatives (including interest rate caps, interest rate collars, interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements), certain other real estate owned and certain nonperforming loans. Level 2 investment securities are valued by a recognized third party pricing service using observable inputs. The model used by the pricing service varies by asset class and incorporates available market, trade and bid information as well as cash flow information when applicable. Because many fixed-income investment securities do not trade on a daily basis, the model uses available information such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like investment securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. The model will also use processes such as an option-adjusted spread to assess the impact of interest rates and to develop prepayment estimates. Market inputs normally used in the pricing model include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Management validates the market values provided by the third party service by having another source price 100% of the securities on a monthly basis, monthly monitoring of variances from prior period pricing and, on a monthly basis, evaluating pricing changes compared to expectations based on changes in the financial markets. Loans held for sale include residential mortgage loans originated for sale in the secondary mortgage market. The estimated fair value for these loans was determined on the basis of rates obtained in the respective secondary market. Loans held for sale could also include the Small Business Administration guaranteed portion of small business loans. The estimated fair value of these loans is based on the contract with the third party investor. When loans held for sale include other commercial loans, fair value is determined using an executed trade or market bid obtained from potential buyers. There were no held for sale loans in a nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Interest rate derivatives are reported at an estimated fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs and are included in other assets and other liabilities, and consist of interest rate swaps where there is no significant deterioration in the counterparties' and/or loan customers' credit risk since origination of the interest rate swap, as well as interest rate caps, interest rate collars and risk participation agreements. First Commonwealth values its interest rate swap and cap positions using a yield curve by taking market prices/rates for an appropriate set of instruments. The set of instruments used to determine the U.S. Dollar yield curve includes Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rates from overnight to one year, Eurodollar futures contracts and SOFR swap rates from one year to thirty years. These yield curves determine the valuations of interest rate swaps. Interest rate derivatives are further described in Note 12, “Derivatives.” 46 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, First Commonwealth evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as our own credit risk. Accordingly, we have considered factors such as the likelihood of default, expected loss given default, net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any estimated fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. We review our counterparty exposure quarterly, and when necessary, appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the exposure. We also utilize this approach to estimate our own credit risk on derivative liability positions. In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we have not realized any losses due to a counterparty's inability to pay any net uncollateralized position. Interest rate derivatives also include interest rate forwards entered to hedge residential mortgage loans held for sale and the related interest-rate lock commitments. This includes forward commitments to sell mortgage loans. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments are based on derivative market data inputs as of the valuation date and the underlying value of mortgage loans for rate lock commitments. - Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. If the inputs used to provide the valuation are unobservable and/or there is very little, if any, market activity for the security or similar securities, the securities would be considered Level 3 securities. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. The assets included in Level 3 are certain nonperforming loans. There are no Level 3 fair value measurements that require quantitative inputs and assumptions.

There were no gains or losses included in earnings for the periods presented that are attributable to the change in realized gains (losses) relating to assets held at June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following (losses) gains were realized on the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis: _(dollars in thousands)_ | Loans held for sale | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 / $ | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 / — | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 / $ | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 / — | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 / $ | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 / — | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 / $ | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 / — | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Nonperforming loans | (4,459) | | (5,284) | | (11,277) | | (12,734) | | | Other real estate owned | — | | (32) | | (36) | | (32) | | | Total losses | $ | $(4,459) | $ | $(5,316) | $ | $(11,313) | $ | $(12,766) | Nonperforming loans over $250 thousand are individually reviewed to determine the amount of each loan considered to be at risk of non-collection. The fair value for nonperforming loans that are collateral-based is determined by reviewing real property appraisals, equipment valuations, accounts receivable listings and other financial information. A discounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine fair value for nonperforming loans when an observable market price or a current appraisal is not available. For real estate secured loans, First Commonwealth’s loan policy requires updated appraisals be obtained at least every twelve months on all nonperforming loans with balances of $250 thousand and over. For real estate secured loans with balances under $250 thousand, we rely on broker price opinions. For non-real estate secured assets, the Company normally relies on third party valuations specific to the collateral type. The fair value for other real estate owned that is determined by either an independent market-based appraisal less estimated costs to sell or an executed sales agreement is classified as Level 2. The fair value for other real estate owned that is determined using an internal valuation is classified as Level 3. Other real estate owned has a current carrying value of $2.3 million as of June 30, 2026, and primarily includes commercial and residential real estate properties in Pennsylvania. We review whether events and circumstances subsequent to a transfer to other real estate owned have occurred that indicate the balance of those assets may not be recoverable. If events and circumstances indicate further impairment, we will record a charge to the extent that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair values, less estimated cost to sell, as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstances. Certain other assets and liabilities, including goodwill, core deposit intangibles and customer list intangibles, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. Additional information related to goodwill is provided in Note 13, “Goodwill.” There were no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2026. FASB ASC Topic 825-10, “Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1” and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are as discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below. Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing bank deposits: The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks and interest-bearing bank deposits approximate the estimated fair values of such assets. Securities: Fair values for securities available for sale and held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying value of other investments, which includes FHLB stock and other equity investments, is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. Loans held for sale: The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based on market bids obtained from potential buyers. Loans: The fair values of all loans are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality adjusted for past due and nonperforming loans. 49 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Off-balance sheet instruments: Many of First Commonwealth’s off-balance sheet instruments, primarily loan commitments and standby letters of credit, are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. FASB ASC Topic 460, “Guarantees” clarified that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The carrying amount and estimated fair value for standby letters of credit was $0.3 million at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 6, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” for additional information. Deposit liabilities: The estimated fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date because of the customers’ ability to withdraw funds immediately. The fair value of fixed rate time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregated expected maturities. Short-term borrowings: The fair values of borrowings from the FHLB were estimated based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar type borrowings. The carrying amounts of other short-term borrowings, such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, were used to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the borrowings. Subordinated debt and long-term debt: The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using First Commonwealth’s estimate of the current market rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. 50 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following table presents carrying amounts and fair values of First Commonwealth’s financial instruments: _June 30, 2026 · (dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | Carrying Amount | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Total | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 1 | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 2 | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 3 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Financial assets | | | | | | | Cash and due from banks | $110,327 | $110,327 | $110,327 | — | — | | Interest-bearing deposits | 69,308 | 69,308 | 69,308 | — | — | | Securities available for sale | 1,092,201 | 1,092,201 | — | 1,092,201 | — | | Securities held to maturity | 574,542 | 521,253 | — | 521,253 | — | | Other investments | 34,372 | 34,372 | — | 29,190 | 5,182 | | Loans held for sale | 44,764 | 44,941 | — | 44,941 | — | | Loans and leases | 9,467,229 | 9,486,192 | — | 42,730 | 9,443,462 | | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | Deposits | 10,260,061 | 10,252,398 | — | 10,252,398 | — | | Short-term borrowings | 137,946 | 136,787 | — | 136,787 | — | | Subordinated debt | 121,683 | 116,636 | — | — | 116,636 | | Long-term debt | — | — | — | — | — | | Capital lease obligation | 3,401 | 3,401 | — | 3,401 | — | _December 31, 2025 · (dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | Carrying Amount | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Total | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 1 | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 2 | Fair Value Measurements Using: / Level 3 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Financial assets | | | | | | | Cash and due from banks | $103,280 | $103,280 | $103,280 | — | — | | Interest-bearing deposits | 77,082 | 77,082 | 77,082 | — | — | | Securities available for sale | 1,014,194 | 1,014,194 | — | 1,014,194 | — | | Securities held to maturity | 519,422 | 470,665 | — | 470,665 | — | | Other investments | 38,295 | 38,295 | — | 32,563 | 5,732 | | Loans held for sale | 271,452 | 271,452 | — | 271,452 | — | | Loans and leases | 9,508,039 | 9,657,464 | — | 40,617 | 9,616,847 | | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | Deposits | 10,250,969 | 10,248,485 | — | 10,248,485 | — | | Short-term borrowings | 147,966 | 147,926 | — | 147,926 | — | | Subordinated debt | 128,466 | 121,747 | — | — | 121,747 | | Long-term debt | 129,555 | 130,108 | — | 130,108 | — | | Capital lease obligation | 3,721 | 3,721 | — | 3,721 | — | ### Note 12 Derivatives #### Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments First Commonwealth is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivatives relate to interest rate swaps that First Commonwealth enters into with customers to allow customers to convert variable rate loans to a fixed rate. First Commonwealth pays interest to the customer at a floating rate on the notional amount and receives interest from the customer at a fixed rate for the same notional amount. At the same time the interest rate swap is entered into with the customer, an offsetting interest rate swap is entered into with another financial institution. First Commonwealth pays the other financial institution interest at the same fixed rate on the same notional amount as the swap entered into with the customer, and receives interest from the financial institution for the same floating rate on the same notional amount. 51 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties. We have 20 risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution. We have 16 risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are the lead bank. The risk participation agreement provides credit protection to us should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with us. First Commonwealth is also party to interest rate caps and collars that are not designated as hedging instruments. The interest rate caps relate to contracts that First Commonwealth enters into with loan customers that provide a maximum interest rate on their variable rate loan. At the same time the interest rate cap is entered into with the customer, First Commonwealth enters into an offsetting interest rate cap with another financial institution. The notional amount and maximum interest rate on both interest cap contracts are identical. The interest rate collars relate to contracts that First Commonwealth enters into with loan customers that provide both a maximum and minimum interest rate on their variable rate loan. At the same time the interest rate collar is entered into with the customer, First Commonwealth enters into an offsetting interest rate collar with another financial institution. The notional amount and the maximum and minimum interest rates on both interest collar contracts are identical. The fee received for such derivatives, less the estimate of the loss for the credit exposure, is recognized in earnings at the time of the transaction. The Company also enters into interest rate lock commitments in conjunction with its mortgage origination business. These are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Company locks in the rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Loans under mandatory rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in "Noninterest income" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The impact to noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was an increase of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. We determine the fair value of rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates and takes into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close or will be funded. At June 30, 2026, the underlying funded mortgage loan commitments had a carrying value of $16.1 million and a fair value of $18.1 million, while the underlying unfunded mortgage loan commitments had a notional amount of $69.7 million. At December 31, 2025, the underlying funded mortgage loan commitments had a carrying value of $19.5 million and a fair value of $21.5 million, while the underlying unfunded mortgage loan commitments had a notional amount of $48.1 million. The interest rate lock commitments increased other noninterest income by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and decreased it by $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments In August 2019, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. One of the contracts, with a notional amount of $30.0 million, matured on August 15, 2024 and the other contract, with a notional amount of $40.0 million, matures on August 15, 2026. The Company's risk management objective for these hedges is to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments made on subordinated debentures. Initially, these swaps were benchmarked to the 3-month LIBOR rate; however, as a result of the discontinuance of the LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023, both of the swap contracts were amended to hedge exposure to the variability of the 3-month Daily Simple SOFR, compounded in arrears. This change is in agreement with amendments made to the interest rate on the subordinated debentures as a result of the discontinuance of LIBOR. Therefore, the interest rate swaps convert the interest rate benchmark on the first $40.0 million of 3-month SOFR based subordinated debentures to a fixed rate. During 2021, the Company entered into eight interest rate swap contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges, $75.0 million of which matured during 2024, $150.0 million which matured in May 2025, $25 million which matured in August 52 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2025 and $150.0 million which matured in May of 2026. The remaining interest rate swap has a notional amount of $25.0 million with an original term of five years and maturity date of October 15, 2026. The Company's risk management objective for these hedges was to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments on commercial loans. Initially these swaps were benchmarked to the 1-month LIBOR rate; however, as a result of the discontinuance of the LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023, these swaps were amended to hedge exposure to the variability of the 1-month Daily Simple SOFR rate compounded in arrears. Therefore, the interest rate swaps convert the interest payments on the first $25.0 million of 1-month Daily Simple SOFR based commercial loans into fixed rate payments. The periodic net settlement of these interest rate swaps are recorded as an adjustment to "Interest on subordinated debentures" or "Interest and fees on loans" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there was a negative impact on net interest income of $0.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and $1.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 as a result of these interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are reported on the balance sheet and in OCI. When the cash flows associated with the hedged item are realized, the gain or loss included in OCI is recognized in "Interest on subordinated debentures," or "Interest and fees on loans", the same line items in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income as the income on the hedged items. The cash flow hedges were highly effective at June 30, 2026, and changes in the fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness were not material. The following table depicts the credit value and fair value adjustments recorded related to the notional amount of derivatives outstanding as well as the notional amount of risk participation agreements participated to other banks: _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | | --- | --- | --- | | Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments | | | | Interest rate derivatives: | | | | Credit value adjustment | $(96) | $(185) | | Notional amount: | | | | Interest rate derivatives | 956,044 | 1,000,541 | | Interest rate caps | 27,664 | 50,525 | | Interest rate collars | 11,010 | 2,022 | | Risk participation agreements | 143,972 | 158,646 | | Sold credit protection on risk participation agreements | (150,686) | (151,858) | | Interest rate options | 69,661 | 48,143 | | Interest rate forwards: | | | | Fair value adjustment | (59) | (133) | | Notional amount | 72,000 | 49,000 | | Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments | | | | Interest rate swaps: | | | | Fair value adjustment | 514 | (766) | | Notional amount | 65,000 | 215,000 | 53 ITEM 1.

Goodwill is also required to be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. When circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value, a triggering event has occurred and a quantitative impairment test would be performed. We consider First Commonwealth to be one reporting unit (see Note 16 - "Segment Reporting"). The carrying amount of goodwill at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $378.2 million. No impairment charges on goodwill or other intangible assets were incurred in 2026 or 2025. We test goodwill for impairment as of November 30th each year and again at any quarter-end if any material events occur during a quarter that may affect goodwill. As of June 30, 2026, no indicators of impairment were identified; however, changing economic conditions that may adversely affect our performance, the fair value of our assets and liabilities, or our stock price could result in impairment, which could adversely affect earnings in future periods. Management will continue to monitor events that could impact this conclusion in the future. ### Note 14 Subordinated Debentures Subordinated debentures outstanding are as follows: | Line item | Due | Rate | June 30, 2026 / Amount | Amount | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | (dollars in thousands) | | | Owed to: | | | | | | First Commonwealth Bank | 2033 | 5.50% until June 1, 2028, then 3-Month CME Term SOFR + 0.26161% + 2.37% | $49,516 | $49,480 | | First Commonwealth Financial Corp | 2031 | Prime + 1.00% | — | 6,819 | | First Commonwealth Capital Trust II | 2034 | 3-Month CME Term SOFR + 0.26161% + 2.85% | 30,929 | 30,929 | | First Commonwealth Capital Trust III | 2034 | 3-Month CME Term SOFR + 0.26161% + 2.85% | 41,238 | 41,238 | | Total | | | $121,683 | $128,466 | With the acquisition of Centric in January 2023, First Commonwealth acquired a ten-year subordinated note with a principal balance of $6.0 million. The rate was fixed at 4.50% until March 29, 2026, then converted to a quarterly adjustable rate of 54 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Prime + 1.00%. The carrying value of this note included a fair value premium from acquisition of $0.8 million. The Company obtained the necessary regulatory approval and redeemed the note at par on June 23, 2026, recognizing an $0.8 million gain on the early redemption of the debt. On May 21, 2018, First Commonwealth issued fifteen-year subordinated notes with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and a fixed-to-floating rate of 5.50%. The rate remains fixed until June 1, 2028, then adjusts on a quarterly basis to three-month CME Term SOFR+ 0.26161% + 2.37%. The Bank may redeem the notes, subject to regulatory approval, beginning with the interest payment due on June 1, 2028, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $1.1 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes. First Commonwealth currently has two trusts, First Commonwealth Capital Trust II and First Commonwealth Capital Trust III, of which 100% of the common equity is owned by First Commonwealth. The trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities (“subordinated debentures”) of First Commonwealth. The subordinated debentures held by each trust are the sole assets of the trust. Interest on the debentures issued to First Commonwealth Capital Trust II is paid quarterly at a floating rate of three-month CME Term SOFR + 0.26161% + 2.85%, which is reset quarterly. Subject to regulatory approval, First Commonwealth may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, at its option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $0.5 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the securities. Interest on the debentures issued to First Commonwealth Capital Trust III is paid quarterly at a floating rate of three-month CME Term SOFR + 0.26161% + 2.85%, which is reset quarterly. Subject to regulatory approval, First Commonwealth may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, at its option on any interest payment date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $0.6 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the securities. In order to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments on First Commonwealth Capital Trust II and III, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts fix the index rate based portion of the interest rate on Capital Trust III at 1.525% until August 15, 2026. A similar interest rate swap contract was entered for Capital Trust II which fixed the index rate based portion at 1.515%; however, that swap expired on August 15, 2024. Additional information related to these cash flow hedges can be found in Note 12 - "Derivatives". ### Note 15 Revenue Recognition Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with derivatives are not in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 - "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Topic 606"). Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust income, service charges on deposits, insurance and retail brokerage commissions, card-related interchange income and gain(loss) on sale of OREO. For contracts within the scope of Topic 606, the Company immediately expenses contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. #### Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below: Trust Income Trust income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon a tiered scale of market value of the assets under management at month-end. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as financial planning or tax return preparation services are also available to trust customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied and related revenue recognized at a point in time. Payment is received shortly after services are rendered. 55 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees earned from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, overdraft services and account analysis fees. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment fees, statement rendering and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, which is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Monthly account maintenance fees are earned over the course of the month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, during the month the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Insurance and Retail Brokerage Commissions Insurance income primarily consists of commissions received from execution of personal, business and health insurance policies when acting as an agent on behalf of insurance carriers. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy. Because the Company’s contracts with the insurance carriers are generally cancellable by either party with minimal notice, insurance commissions are recognized during the policy period as received. Also, the majority of insurance commissions are received on a monthly basis during the policy period; however, some carriers pay the full annual commission to First Commonwealth at the time of policy issuance or renewal. In these cases, First Commonwealth would be required to refund any commissions it would not be entitled to as a result of cancelled or terminated policies. The Company has established a refund liability for the remaining term of the policies expected to be cancelled. The Company also receives incentive-based contingency fees from the insurance carriers. Contingency fee revenue, which totals approximately $0.4 million per year, is recognized as received due to the immaterial amount. Retail brokerage income primarily consists of commissions received on annuity and investment product sales through a third-party service provider. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the annuity policy or the execution of an investment transaction. The Company does not earn a significant amount of trailer fees on annuity sales. However, after considering the factors impacting these trailer fees, such as the uncertainty of investor behavior and changes in the market value of assets, First Commonwealth determined that it would recognize trailing fees as received because it could not reasonably estimate an amount of future trailing commissions for which collection is probable. Commissions from the third-party service provider are received on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month. The fees are recognized monthly with a receivable until commissions are received from the third-party service provider the following month. Because the Company acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and does not control the services rendered to the customers, retail brokerage fees are presented net of related costs, including $2.6 million and $2.5 million in commission expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Card-Related Interchange Income Card-related interchange income is primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees and merchant services income. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as MasterCard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Card-related interchange income is recognized daily as the customer transactions are settled. Other Income Other income includes service revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for these services are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. 56 ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Gains (losses) on sales of OREO First Commonwealth records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When First Commonwealth finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, an assessment of whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract is completed along with an evaluation of whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, First Commonwealth adjusts the transaction price and the related gain or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present. The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606: _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Noninterest Income | | | | | | In-scope of Topic 606: | | | | | | Trust income | $3,583 | $3,029 | $6,991 | $6,051 | | Service charges on deposit accounts | 5,744 | 5,595 | 11,274 | 11,033 | | Insurance and retail brokerage commissions | 3,085 | 3,097 | 6,352 | 6,267 | | Card-related interchange income | 4,005 | 3,998 | 7,666 | 7,652 | | Gain on sale of other loans and assets | 136 | 499 | 327 | 624 | | Other income | 588 | 725 | 1,228 | 1,455 | | Noninterest Income (in-scope of Topic 606) | 17,141 | 16,943 | 33,838 | 33,082 | | Noninterest Income (out-of-scope of Topic 606) | 9,856 | 7,806 | 17,746 | 14,169 | | Total Noninterest Income | $26,997 | $24,749 | $51,584 | $47,251 | ### Note 16 Segment Reporting We operate our business as a single integrated business unit that provides a number of products and services to meet our customers' banking and financial needs. Our products and services include consumer lending such as secured and unsecured installment loans, home equity loans, construction and real estate loans, credit lines and credit cards. We also offer commercial customers lending and leasing products, which include real estate secured lending, equipment finance, working capital lines of credit, credit cards and construction loans. Our products also include deposit services, such as personal and business checking accounts, savings, money market and certificates of deposit. Additionally, we provide an array of cash management services, trust and wealth management services and insurance products. These services are all delivered through the same business network. The Company’s President and CEO is the chief operating decision maker who uses consolidated net income to assess performance and profitability of our single business segment. Consolidated net income is used to assess performance by comparing results on a monthly basis, including variances to budget and prior period results. Consideration is given to performance of components of the business, such as branches and geographic regions, which are then aggregated. This information is used to achieve strategic initiatives by allowing the chief operating decision maker to manage resources that drive our business and earnings. Additionally, consolidated net income is used to benchmark the Company against its banking peers. The accounting policies of the single business unit are the same policies as disclosed in Note 1 - "Statement of Accounting Policies" of our December 31, 2025 Form 10-K and our segment assets are the same as assets presented in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 57 ITEM 1.

In addition, certain statements may be contained in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by us or with our approval that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives and expectations of First Commonwealth or its management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products, services or operations; (iii) statements of future economic performance or interest rates; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may,” are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: - Local, regional, national and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact. - Volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets. - The effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies. - Government intervention in the U.S. financial system. - Changes in the mix of loan geographies, sectors and types or the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs. - Changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements. - Inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations. - The effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply. - The soundness of other financial institutions. - Political instability. - Impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets. - Acts of God or of war or terrorism. - The timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users. - Changes in consumer spending, borrowings and savings habits. - Changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers. - Technological changes. - The cost and effects of cyber incidents or other failures, interruption or security breaches of our systems or those of third-party providers. - Acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses. - Our ability to increase market share and control expenses. - Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. - Changes in the competitive environment in our markets and among banking organizations and other financial service providers. - The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters. - Changes in the reliability of our vendors, internal control systems or information systems. - Changes in our liquidity position. - Changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans. 59 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - The costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, the results of regulatory examinations or reviews and the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals. - Greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the integration of new products and lines of business. - Our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), First Commonwealth management uses, and this quarterly report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparison with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. We believe the presentation of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Interest income per the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income is reconciled to net interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis on pages 64 and 72 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 60 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Selected Financial Data The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which follows, and with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.  _(dollars in thousands, except per share data)_ | Line item | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Net Income | $44,589 | $33,402 | $82,137 | $66,098 | | Per Share Data: | | | | | | Basic Earnings per Share | $0.44 | $0.32 | $0.81 | $0.64 | | Diluted Earnings per Share | 0.44 | 0.32 | 0.81 | 0.64 | | Cash Dividends Declared per Common Share | 0.140 | 0.135 | 0.275 | 0.265 | | Average Balance: | | | | | | Total assets | $12,191,133 | $12,096,327 | $12,207,876 | $11,889,656 | | Total equity | 1,563,281 | 1,492,912 | 1,562,765 | 1,461,139 | | End of Period Balance: | | | | | | Net loans and leases (1) | | | $9,384,568 | $9,480,842 | | Total assets | | | 12,207,826 | 12,237,147 | | Total deposits | | | 10,260,061 | 10,104,582 | | Total equity | | | 1,569,168 | 1,517,767 | | Key Ratios: | | | | | | Return on average assets | 1.47% | 1.11% | 1.36% | 1.12% | | Return on average equity | 11.44% | 8.97% | 10.60% | 9.12% | | Dividends payout ratio | 31.82% | 42.19% | 33.95% | 41.41% | | Average equity to average assets ratio | 12.82% | 12.34% | 12.80% | 12.29% | | Net interest margin | 4.01% | 3.83% | 3.97% | 3.73% | | Net loans to deposits ratio | | | 91.47% | 93.83% | (1) Includes loans held for sale. Results of Operations ### Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Net Income For the six months ended June 30, 2026, First Commonwealth had net income of $82.1 million, or $0.81 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $66.1 million, or $0.64 diluted earnings per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $19.7 million increase in net interest income and $4.3 million increase in noninterest income, offset by a $1.3 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $2.3 million increase in noninterest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s return on average equity was 10.60% and its return on average assets was 1.36%, compared to 9.12% and 1.12%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $222.2 million in the first six months of 2026, compared to $202.4 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in net interest income can be attributed to a 28 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a 2 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets with a $337.3 million increase in net interest earning assets. Net interest income comprises the majority of our operating revenue (net interest income before provision expense plus noninterest income), at 81.1% and 81.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 61 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 3.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin is affected by changes in the level of interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 5.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of two basis points compared to the 5.65% yield for the same period in 2025. The yield on interest-earning assets benefited as the yield on fixed rate commercial loans increased 33 basis points. Additionally, the yield on fixed rate consumer loans increased by 15 basis points. Offsetting these increases were a 73 basis point decrease in consumer lines of credit and a 4 basis point decline in the yield on equipment finance loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, five basis points of the yield on interest-earning assets can be attributed to the recognition of $2.7 million in accretion of purchase accounting marks. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, accretion of purchase accounting marks contributed $3.9 million, or seven basis points, to the yield on interest-earning assets. The investment portfolio yield decreased two basis points in comparison to the prior year primarily due to a decline in market rates. Additionally, the average balance of investments decreased $39.7 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Lower interest rates in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year resulted in a 93 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-bearing deposits with banks, while the average balance increased from $68.2 million in 2025 to $182.9 million in 2026. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from 2.63% for the same period in 2025. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 25 basis points and short-term borrowings decreased 164 basis points in comparison to the same period last year. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was impacted by declines in market interest rates offset by changes in the mix of deposits with growth in money market and time deposits. Comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 with the comparable period in 2025, average time deposits increased $39.0 million, or 2.2%, while the cost of these deposits decreased 45 basis points. Contributing to the average growth in time deposits was $90.3 million in balances acquired in the second quarter of 2025 as part of the Center acquisition. The impact of the Center acquisition on average time deposit balances was an increase of $60.0 million when comparing the six-months ended June 30, 2026 to the prior year. Other interest-bearing deposits increased on average $298.8 million, or 5.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the cost of these deposits decreased 18 basis points. Contributing to the average growth in other interest-bearing deposits was $146.2 million in balances acquired from Center in the second quarter of 2025. The impact of the Center acquisition on average other interest-bearing deposits was an increase of $96.9 million when comparing the six-months ended June 30, 2026 to the prior year. Compared to the prior period, short-term borrowings decreased an average of $69.6 million and long-term debt decreased an average of $93.1 million primarily due to the payoff of $129.4 million FHLB debt during the first quarter of 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, changes in rates positively impacted net interest income by $10.9 million when compared to the same period in 2025. The yield on interest-earning assets positively impacted net interest income by $0.7 million and the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $10.2 million. Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. Higher levels of interest-earning assets resulted in an increase of $9.8 million in interest income, while changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities increased interest expense by $1.0 million. Average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $337.3 million, or 3.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. Average loans for the comparable period increased $262.3 million, or 2.8%, and average investments decreased $39.7 million, or 2.4%. The Center acquisition, in the second quarter of 2025, increased ending loan balances by $292.6 million. Assuming no change in balances, this resulted in an increase in average balances of $194.0 million when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 with the prior year. Net interest income was positively impacted by a $162.2 million increase in average net free funds for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in 2025. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over noninterest-earning assets. The level of net free funds was impacted by growth in average noninterest-bearing demand deposits, as well as higher average shareholders' equity due to retained earnings and stock issued for the Center acquisition. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $67.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to the same period in 2025. 62 ITEM 2.

Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses needed for expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet commitments. The provision for credit losses is an amount added to the allowance, against which credit losses are charged.   65 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The table below provides a breakout of the provision for credit losses by loan category for the six months ended June 30:  _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | 2026 / Dollars | 2026 / Percentage | 2025 / Dollars | 2025 / Percentage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Commercial, financial, agricultural and other | $13,842 | 64% | $8,230 | 66% | | Time and demand | 8,084 | 38 | 4,325 | 35 | | Commercial credit cards | 284 | 1 | 133 | 1 | | Equipment finance | 3,714 | 17 | 2,247 | 18 | | Time and demand other | 1,760 | 8 | 1,525 | 12 | | Real estate construction | 803 | 4 | (289) | (2) | | Construction other | 909 | 5 | (213) | (1) | | Construction residential | (106) | (1) | (76) | (1) | | Residential real estate | 1,023 | 5 | 443 | 4 | | Residential first lien | 785 | 4 | 124 | 1 | | Residential junior lien/home equity | 238 | 1 | 319 | 3 | | Commercial real estate | 2,449 | 12 | 59 | — | | Multifamily | 1,721 | 8 | (292) | (3) | | Non-owner occupied | (443) | (2) | (1,121) | (9) | | Owner occupied | 1,171 | 6 | 1,472 | 12 | | Loans to individuals | 3,142 | 15 | 3,978 | 32 | | Automobile and recreational vehicles | 2,547 | 12 | 3,407 | 27 | | Consumer credit cards | 131 | 1 | 118 | 1 | | Consumer other | 464 | 2 | 453 | 4 | | Provision for credit losses on loans and leases | $21,259 | 100% | $12,421 | 100% | | Provision for credit losses - acquisition day 1 non-PCD | — | | 3,379 | | | Total provision for credit losses on loans and leases | 21,259 | | 15,800 | | | Provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure | (1,595) | | 2,593 | | | Total provision for credit losses | $19,664 | | $18,393 | | Total provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $1.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Included in the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is $4.9 million in reserves related to two individually analyzed time and demand relationships and $2.1 million in reserves for one individually analyzed multifamily real estate loan, all of which were moved to nonaccrual during the first six months of 2026. Provision expense for the period was also impacted by growth in the equipment finance portfolio and a $3.4 million provision related to a time and demand loan which was moved to nonaccrual in 2026 and subsequently charged-off. In addition, provision expense was impacted by charge-offs totaling $0.8 million for three commercial loan relationships moved to held for sale. Also impacting provision expense in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.6 million in negative provision expense related to the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The level of provision for off-balance sheet exposure in 2026 is primarily due to decreased commercial and residential construction commitments. The provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was impacted by $3.4 million recognized in the second quarter of 2025 as the day-1 non-PCD provision expense resulting from the Center acquisition. Additionally, provision expense in 2025 was impacted by growth in equipment finance and automobile and recreational vehicles loans as well as an increase in the provision for off-balance sheet commitments due to a higher level of commercial construction commitments. The allowance for credit losses was $127.4 million, or 1.35%, of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2026, compared to $125.8 million, or 1.32%, at December 31, 2025 and $133.0 million, or 1.39%, at June 30, 2025. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans and leases decreased to 0.86% at June 30, 2026 from 1.04% as of June 30, 2025 and 0.97% at December 31, 2025. The allowance to nonperforming loan ratio was 156.08%, 137.07% and 133.62% as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. 66 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is at a level deemed appropriate to absorb expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2026.

This is primarily the result of an $1.3 million increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans, a $0.6 million increase in the gain on sale of other loans and assets and an $0.8 million gain on the early redemption of subordinated debt. Included in gain on sale of other loans and assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.4 million related to changes in the value of loans held for sale. Trust income increased $0.9 million due to revenue for assets under management and income from bank owned life insurance increased $0.5 million due to claims received as well as the impact of a stable value wrap restructure completed in the first quarter of 2025. Offsetting these increases, was a decrease of $0.8 million in swap fee income as a result of lower volume for new interest rate swaps entered into by our commercial loan customers. Items impacting noninterest income in the six months ended June 30, 2025 include gains on the sale of VISA shares of $5.1 million, offset by net security losses of $5.1 million, resulting from the sale of available for sale securities that were sold in order to reinvest into higher yielding investments. 68 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Noninterest Expense The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30:  _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | 2026 | 2025 | $ Change | % Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Noninterest Expense: | | | | | | Salaries and employee benefits | $85,608 | $80,999 | $4,609 | 6% | | Net occupancy | 10,582 | 10,623 | (41) | — | | Furniture and equipment | 8,997 | 8,740 | 257 | 3 | | Data processing | 8,335 | 7,902 | 433 | 5 | | Advertising and promotion | 3,109 | 2,829 | 280 | 10 | | Pennsylvania shares tax | 2,835 | 2,675 | 160 | 6 | | Intangible amortization | 2,667 | 2,442 | 225 | 9 | | Other professional fees and services | 2,756 | 3,523 | (767) | (22) | | FDIC insurance | 2,736 | 2,929 | (193) | (7) | | Other operating | 19,696 | 19,243 | 453 | 2 | | Subtotal | 147,321 | 141,905 | 5,416 | 4 | | Loss on sale or write-down of assets | 653 | 286 | 367 | 128 | | Litigation and operational losses | 1,633 | 1,263 | 370 | 29 | | Merger and acquisition related | 223 | 4,064 | (3,841) | (95) | | Total noninterest expense | $149,830 | $147,518 | $2,312 | 2% | Noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This increase is primarily the result of a $4.6 million increase in salaries and benefits expense. Contributing to the higher salary expense in 2026 was a higher number of full time equivalent employees, partially due to the Center acquisition. The number of full time equivalent employees totaled 1,562 at June 30, 2025 and 1,589 at June 30, 2026. The decrease of $0.8 million in other professional fees and services is a result of services and advisors contracted for several areas in the prior period, none of which were individually material. In addition, merger and acquisition related expenses were $4.1 million in the first six months of 2025 due to the Center acquisition with only $0.2 million recognized in the current period. Income Tax The provision for income taxes increased $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to the higher level of income before tax. We applied the “annual effective tax rate approach” to determine the provision for income taxes, which applies an annual forecast of tax expense as a percentage of expected full year income, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We generate an annual effective tax rate that is less than the statutory rate of 21% due to benefits resulting from tax-exempt interest, income from bank-owned life insurance and tax benefits associated with low income housing tax credits, all of which are relatively consistent regardless of the level of pretax income. These provided for an effective tax rate of 20.6% and 20.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, our deferred tax assets totaled $43.2 million. Based on our evaluation, we determined that it is more likely than not that all of these assets will be realized. As a result, a valuation allowance against these assets was not recorded. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income based on management approved forecasts, evaluation of historical earnings levels and consideration of potential tax strategies. If future events differ from our current forecasts, we may need to establish a valuation allowance, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. 69 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Results of Operations ### Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Net Income For the three months ended June 30, 2026, First Commonwealth recognized net income of $44.6 million, or $0.44 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $33.4 million, or $0.32 diluted earnings per share, in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income between the two periods is attributable to a $6.2 million increase in net interest income, a $2.2 million increase in noninterest income, a $3.7 million decrease in the provision for credit losses and a $2.0 million decrease in noninterest expense. Offsetting these positive changes is a $3.0 million increase in income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s return on average equity was 11.44% and its return on average assets was 1.47%, compared to 8.97% and 1.11%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $112.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $106.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in net interest income can be attributed to a 28 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest income comprises the majority of our operating revenue (i.e., net interest income before provision expense plus noninterest income), at 80.6% and 81.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 4.01% and 3.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 5.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of five basis points compared to the 5.73% yield for the same period in 2025. Contributing to this change is a one basis point decrease in the investment portfolio yield in comparison to the prior year and a decrease of 99 basis points in the yield on interest-bearing balances with banks due to lower market rates. The average investment portfolio balance decreased $9.5 million while the average balance of interest-bearing deposits with banks increased from $59.6 million in 2025 to $158.3 million in 2026. The loan portfolio yield when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by two basis points. Accretion of purchase accounting marks contributed $1.3 million or five basis points to the yield on interest-earnings assets in the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, accretion of purchase accounting marks contributed $2.6 million, or ten basis points, to the yield on interest-earning assets. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 2.59% for the same period in 2025, primarily due to decreases in the cost of time and interest-bearing deposits. Comparing the three months ended June 30, 2026 with the comparable period in 2025, average time deposits increased $21.2 million, or 1.2%, while the cost of these deposits decreased 39 basis points. Over this same period, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased on average $223.1 million, or 3.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the cost of those deposits decreased 17 basis points. The cost of short-term borrowings decreased 194 basis points in comparison to the same period last year as a result of changes in market rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, changes in interest rates positively impacted net interest income by $3.5 million when compared with the same period in 2025. The lower yield on loans in 2026 contributed to a lower yield on interest-earning assets, negatively impacting net interest income by $1.1 million, while a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $4.6 million. Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The growth and mix of interest-earning assets resulted in an increase of $1.6 million in interest income, while changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $1.2 million. Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $118.9 million, or 1.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. Average loans for the comparable period increased $29.7 million, or 0.3%, positively impacting interest income by $0.5 million, while average interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $98.7 million, benefiting interest income by $1.2 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $6.7 million, favorably impacting net interest income by $1.2 million. Short-term borrowings and long-term debt average balances decreased by $250.9 million, resulting $2.9 million in lower interest expense. Offsetting this benefit were increases in average savings and time deposit balances. Average savings 70 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $291.1 million compared to the prior period, resulting in additional interest expense of $1.7 million, while average time deposits balances increased by $21.2 million compared to the comparable period in 2025, increasing interest expense by $0.2 million. Net interest income was positively impacted by a $125.6 million increase in average net free funds for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to June 30, 2025. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over noninterest-earning assets. The increase in the level of net free funds was primarily the result of an increase in the balance of shareholders' equity due to retained earnings as well as an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses needed for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, after giving consideration to charge-offs and recoveries for the period. The provision for credit losses is an amount added to the allowance, against which credit losses are charged. 73 ITEM 2.

Included in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is a $0.7 million specific reserve related to a time and demand loan that was moved to nonaccrual during the period. Also impacting provision expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were changes in the economic forecast and prepayment speeds used in the allowance for credit losses calculation. These changes resulted in additional provision expense of $2.2 million. The level of provision expense in the second quarter of 2025 was impacted by $3.4 million recognized as the day-1 non-PCD provision expense related to the Center acquisition. Loan growth and the economic forecast also contributed to the provision expense in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure decreased $1.7 million primarily due to the level of unfunded commitments for construction loans. Total net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $11.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. 74 ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $2.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The most significant change includes an $0.8 million gain on the early redemption of subordinated debt, a $0.6 million increase in trust income due to revenue for assets under management and a $0.5 million increase in the gain on mortgage loans due to the volume of loans sold. These were offset by a $0.2 million decrease in gain on sale of loans and other assets due to the volume and spread of SBA loans sold and swap fee income which decreased $0.1 million as a result of lower volume of new interest rate swaps entered into by our commercial loan customers. The increase in net security gains is primarily due to a gain related to the call of a corporate investment security recognized in the second quarter of 2026. Noninterest Expense The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30: _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | 2026 | 2025 | $ Change | % Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Noninterest Expense: | | | | | | Salaries and employee benefits | $42,734 | $40,584 | $2,150 | 5% | | Net occupancy | 5,017 | 4,894 | 123 | 3 | | Furniture and equipment | 4,174 | 4,547 | (373) | (8) | | Data processing | 4,152 | 4,085 | 67 | 2 | | Advertising and promotion | 1,438 | 1,457 | (19) | (1) | | Pennsylvania shares tax | 1,505 | 1,338 | 167 | 12 | | Intangible amortization | 1,303 | 1,311 | (8) | (1) | | Other professional fees and services | 1,650 | 1,903 | (253) | (13) | | FDIC insurance | 1,147 | 1,550 | (403) | (26) | | Other operating | 10,147 | 10,103 | 44 | — | | Subtotal | 73,267 | 71,772 | 1,495 | 2 | | Loss on sale or write-down of assets | 86 | 71 | 15 | 21 | | Litigation and operational losses | 776 | 470 | 306 | 65 | | Merger and acquisition related | 106 | 3,955 | (3,849) | (97) | | Total noninterest expense | $74,235 | $76,268 | $(2,033) | (3)% | Noninterest expense decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease of $3.8 million in merger and acquisition expense related to the Center acquisition offset by a $2.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense primarily due to annual merit increases, incentive expense and a higher number of full time equivalent employees. Income Tax The provision for income taxes increased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The effective tax rate increased 20 basis points from 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 20.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. We applied the “annual effective tax rate approach” to determine the provision for income taxes, which applies an annual forecast of tax expense as a percentage of expected full year income, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Liquidity Liquidity refers to our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, with cost-effective funding. We generate funds to meet these needs primarily through the core deposit base of First Commonwealth Bank and the maturity or repayment of loans and other interest-earning assets, including investments. During the first six months of 2026, the sale, maturity and redemption of investment securities provided $198.8 million in liquidity. These funds contributed to the liquidity available to originate loans, purchase investment securities and fund depositor withdrawals. 76 ITEM 2.

Maximum capacity with CDARs is $1.8 billion. Our participation in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (“CDARS”) program is part of an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) strategy to increase and diversify funding sources. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding CDARS balance of $14.4 million carried an average weighted rate of 2.96% and an average original term of 327 days. These deposits are part of a reciprocal program that allows our depositors to receive expanded FDIC coverage by placing multiple certificates of deposit at other CDARS member banks. Liquidity available through the Federal Reserve is a result of the FRB Borrower-in-Custody of Collateral program, which enables us to take certain loans that are not being used as collateral at the FHLB and pledge them as collateral for borrowings at the FRB. First Commonwealth’s long-term liquidity source is its core deposit base. Core deposits are the most stable source of liquidity a bank can have due to the long-term relationship with a deposit customer. The following table shows a breakdown of the components of First Commonwealth’s deposits:  _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | June 30, 2026 / Amount | December 31, 2025 / Originated | December 31, 2025 / Acquired(a) | December 31, 2025 / Amount | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Noninterest-bearing demand deposits | $2,413,605 | $2,331,287 | $41,484 | $2,372,771 | | Interest-bearing demand deposits | 1,802,938 | 1,782,509 | 13,004 | 1,795,513 | | Savings deposits | 4,360,889 | 4,108,572 | 133,190 | 4,241,762 | | Time deposits | 1,682,629 | 1,750,616 | 90,307 | 1,840,923 | | Total | $10,260,061 | $9,972,984 | $277,985 | $10,250,969 | (a)Reflects the deposit balances, including purchase accounting marks, of deposits acquired from Center as of the acquisition date of April 30, 2025. The level of deposits during any period is influenced by factors outside of management’s control, such as the level of short-term and long-term market interest rates and yields offered on competing investments, such as money market mutual funds. During the first six months of 2026, total deposits increased $9.1 million. Interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $126.6 million, time deposits decreased $158.3 million, and noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $40.8 million. The estimated total of uninsured deposits was $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, of which $0.8 billion were secured by pledged investment securities or letters of credit as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Uninsured amounts are estimated based on known account relationships for each depositor and insurance guidelines provided by the FDIC. Market Risk The following gap analysis compares the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time. The ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities repricing within 77 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES a one-year period was 0.70 at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. A ratio of less than one indicates a higher level of repricing liabilities over repricing assets over the next twelve months. The level of First Commonwealth's ratio is largely driven by the modeling of interest-bearing non-maturity deposits, which are included in the analysis as repricing within one year. Gap analysis has limitations due to the static nature of the model, which holds volumes and consumer behaviors constant in all economic and interest rate scenarios. A lower level of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities repricing in one year could indicate reduced net interest income in a rising interest rate scenario, and conversely, increased net interest income in a declining interest rate scenario. However, the gap analysis incorporates only the level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and not the sensitivity each has to changes in interest rates. The impact of the sensitivity to changes in interest rates is provided in the table below the gap analysis. The following is the gap analysis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025: _June 30, 2026_ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | 0-90 Days | | 91-180Days | | 181-365Days | | Cumulative0-365 Days | | Over 1 YearThrough 5Years | | Over 5Years | | | | (dollars in thousands) | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loans and leases | $ | $3,905,300 | $ | $497,987 | $ | $783,587 | $ | $5,186,874 | $ | $3,445,732 | $ | $706,447 | | Investments | 106,336 | | 65,505 | | 121,494 | | 293,335 | | 740,622 | | 723,837 | | | Other interest-earning assets | 68,005 | | — | | — | | 68,005 | | — | | 1,303 | | | Total interest-sensitive assets (ISA) | 4,079,641 | | 563,492 | | 905,081 | | 5,548,214 | | 4,186,354 | | 1,431,587 | | | Certificates of deposit | 798,105 | | 371,275 | | 420,966 | | 1,590,346 | | 91,152 | | 965 | | | Other deposits | 6,163,827 | | — | | — | | 6,163,827 | | — | | — | | | Borrowings | 210,113 | | — | | — | | 210,113 | | 50,000 | | — | | | Total interest-sensitive liabilities (ISL) | 7,172,045 | | 371,275 | | 420,966 | | 7,964,286 | | 141,152 | | 965 | | | Gap | $ | $(3,092,404) | $ | $192,217 | $ | $484,115 | $ | $(2,416,072) | $ | $4,045,202 | $ | $1,430,622 | | ISA/ISL | 0.57 | | 1.52 | | 2.15 | | 0.70 | | 29.66 | | 1,483.51 | | | Gap/Total assets | 25.33 | | 1.57 | | 3.97 | | 19.79 | | 33.14 | | 11.72 | | _December 31, 2025_ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | 0-90 Days | | 91-180Days | | 181-365Days | | Cumulative0-365 Days | | Over 1 YearThrough 5Years | | Over 5Years | | | | (dollars in thousands) | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loans and leases | $ | $3,962,518 | $ | $534,440 | $ | $846,281 | $ | $5,343,239 | $ | $3,308,592 | $ | $724,461 | | Investments | 83,620 | | 64,581 | | 134,135 | | 282,336 | | 676,118 | | 657,200 | | | Other interest-earning assets | 75,812 | | — | | — | | 75,812 | | — | | 1,270 | | | Total interest-sensitive assets (ISA) | 4,121,950 | | 599,021 | | 980,416 | | 5,701,387 | | 3,984,710 | | 1,382,931 | | | Certificates of deposit | 770,770 | | 629,285 | | 367,335 | | 1,767,390 | | 72,102 | | 916 | | | Other deposits | 6,037,275 | | — | | — | | 6,037,275 | | — | | — | | | Borrowings | 227,167 | | 215 | | 127,431 | | 354,813 | | 51,693 | | — | | | Total interest-sensitive liabilities (ISL) | 7,035,212 | | 629,500 | | 494,766 | | 8,159,478 | | 123,795 | | 916 | | | Gap | $ | $(2,913,262) | $ | $(30,479) | $ | $485,650 | $ | $(2,458,091) | $ | $3,860,915 | $ | $1,382,015 | | ISA/ISL | 0.59 | | 0.95 | | 1.98 | | 0.70 | | 32.19 | | 1,509.75 | | | Gap/Total assets | 23.60 | | 0.25 | | 3.93 | | 19.91 | | 31.28 | | 11.20 | | The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of our annual net interest income to gradual changes in interest rates over a 12-month time frame as compared with net interest income if rates remained unchanged and there are no changes in balance sheet categories. 78 ITEM 2.

Results of these scenarios are impacted by variables that include the current level of interest rates, product characteristics such as floors and ceilings, the frequency with which variable rate products reset their rates, and projected pricing changes for non-maturity deposits. For example, the results in a declining rate scenario could be affected by the model's use of an assumed interest rate floor of zero. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities averaged 2.35% and 2.63%, respectively, and the yield on our average interest-earning assets, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, averaged 5.67% and 5.65%, respectively. Asset/liability models require that certain assumptions be made, such as prepayment rates on earning assets and the impact of pricing on non-maturity deposits, which may differ from actual experience. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that modeled results will approximate actual results. Credit Risk Management of credit risk within our loan and lease portfolio is a focus of the Company and is a continuous process in order to address changing economic and lending environments. Segment and concentration limits are established and approved by our Board of Directors’ Risk Committee in order to maintain alignment with our credit risk appetite, loan strategic plan, loan policy and underwriting guidelines. In addition, our Credit Department completes industry studies to identify potential risk in the portfolio. For example, within the commercial real estate portfolio, industry studies are completed for the following sectors: hospitality, industrial, multifamily, office, retail, senior living, healthcare and student housing. All industry studies are completed on an annual basis with the exception of senior living and healthcare which are completed every other year. On an annual basis, the Credit Department also reviews the commercial real estate portfolio as a whole, along with underwriting practices and loan level stress testing procedures, to enhance risk management practices and monitor commercial real estate concentrations. This review provides an overview of the portfolio to ensure that emerging risks have been identified, and documents and validates the standard interest rate and capitalization rate stress scenarios. First Commonwealth maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level deemed sufficient for losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio at the date of each statement of financial condition. Management reviews the appropriateness of the allowance on a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for credit losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is appropriate based on management’s assessment of estimated expected losses. First Commonwealth’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses consists of several key elements. These elements include an assessment of individual nonperforming loans with a balance greater than $250 thousand, loss experience trends and other relevant factors. 80 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES First Commonwealth also maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit based upon credit risk and probability of funding. The reserve totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2026 and is classified in "Other liabilities" on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We discontinue interest accruals on a loan when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to fully collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. A loan is also placed on nonaccrual status when, based on regulatory definitions, the loan is maintained on a “cash basis” due to the weakened financial condition of the borrower. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, except for consumer loans, which are placed on nonaccrual status at 150 days past due. Consumer loans related to automobile and recreational vehicles are either charged off or repossessed at no later than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. The probable risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses or a specifically assigned allowance for loan losses are recognized where appropriate. Nonperforming loans and leases, including loans held for sale, decreased $10.1 million to $81.6 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $91.8 million at December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June, 30, 2026, a total of $33.7 million in loans were moved to a nonperforming status. This total includes three commercial relationships totaling $32.5 million. As of June 30, 2026, reserves of $8.2 million are included in the allowance for credit losses for these relationships. Offsetting the additions to nonperforming was the transfer of two commercial relationships back to accrual status totaling $8.6 million, releasing $2.3 million in reserves from the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, two commercial relationships totaling $5.2 million were transferred to held for sale, recognizing $0.6 million in charge-offs, and a $3.2 million commercial relationship was resolved with the Company accepting $1.3 million as satisfaction for the loan balance, recognizing a charge-off of $1.9 million, for which $1.7 million was provided for at December 31, 2025. Also impacting nonperforming loan balances in the first half of 2026, was a $1.9 million paydown of a $2.5 million dealer floor plan relationship with the Company recognizing a previously provided for charge-off of $0.7 million. In addition, four large nonperforming commercial relationships totaling $6.6 million paid off during the six-months ended June 30, 2026. Charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $22.4 million. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 156.08% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 137.07% at December 31, 2025, and 133.62% at June 30, 2025. The amount of individually analyzed reserves included in the allowance for nonperforming loans and leases was determined by using fair values obtained from current appraisals. The allowance for credit losses includes specific allocations of $10.3 million and general reserves of $117.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Specific reserves increased $0.5 million in comparison to December 31, 2025 and decreased $3.8 million from June 30, 2025. The increase in specific reserves compared to December 31, 2025 is primarily due to specific reserves applied to individually analyzed loans moved to nonperforming during the second quarter. Criticized loans totaled $286.5 million at June 30, 2026 and represented 3.0% of the loan portfolio. The level of criticized loans increased as of June 30, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025, by $19.3 million, or 7%. Classified loans totaled $148.4 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $139.4 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $9.0 million, or 6%. The allowance for credit losses was $127.4 million at June 30, 2026, or 1.35% of total loans and leases outstanding, compared to 1.32% reported at December 31, 2025, and 1.39% at June 30, 2025. General reserves, or the portion of the allowance related to loans that were not individually analyzed, as a percentage of performing loans were 1.24% at June 30, 2026 compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2025 and 1.26% at June 30, 2025. 81 ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Commercial, financial, agricultural and other loans increased $26.4 million, or 1.3%. Within this category, $91.5 million of growth occurred in the equipment finance portfolio, offset by a $74.3 million decrease in the time and demand portfolio. Real estate construction loans increased $23.9 million, or 5.2%, due to growth in commercial real estate projects. Residential real estate loans increased $7.9 million, or 0.3%, primarily due to growth in home equity loans. Commercial real estate loans decreased $98.3 million, or 3.1%, as a result of decline in loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate. Loans to individuals decreased $0.6 million, or 0.04%, primarily due to a decrease in consumer credit card and consumer other loans. Commercial real estate comprises 33% of our total loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans are collateralized by real estate properties including, but not limited to, multifamily properties, office, retail, hotels and student housing. The following table summarizes the commercial real estate portfolio by type of property securing the credit. _(dollars in thousands)_ | Line item | June 30, 2026 / Amount | June 30, 2026 / % | December 31, 2025 / Amount | December 31, 2025 / % | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Land | $6,509 | 0.2% | $8,757 | 0.3% | | Residential 1-4 | 5,964 | 0.2 | 5,380 | 0.2 | | Industrial and storage | 630,547 | 20.4 | 645,211 | 20.3 | | Multifamily | 658,707 | 21.4 | 576,299 | 18.1 | | Office | 425,540 | 13.8 | 470,133 | 14.8 | | Healthcare | 111,847 | 3.6 | 143,056 | 4.5 | | Student housing | 100,415 | 3.3 | 139,645 | 4.4 | | Retail | 756,426 | 24.5 | 774,070 | 24.3 | | Hospitality | 207,226 | 6.7 | 238,531 | 7.4 | | Specialty use | 178,593 | 5.8 | 178,940 | 5.6 | | Other | 2,000 | 0.1 | 2,087 | 0.1 | | Total | $3,083,774 | 100.0% | $3,182,109 | 100.0% | The following tables represent our commercial real estate portfolio by type of property securing the credit as of June 30, 2026.

The average loan commitment size for the office portfolio is $0.9 million and the average outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026 is $0.9 million. Within the office portfolio, exposures over $1.0 million have an average debt service coverage ratio of 1.51x, which exceeds our internal guidelines of 1.25x to 1.50x, depending on property class. Additionally, for loans with exposure over $1.0 million, the office portfolio has a weighted average loan to value of 45.0% compared to internal 83 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES guidelines of 60-75%, depending on property class. Our current measure is based off of the most recent appraisal on file, the majority of which are from origination. As previously noted, portfolio segment limits are approved by our Board of Directors' Risk Committee. These segment limits incorporate loan commitments and are based off of total Tier 1 capital plus the allowable allowance for credit losses. In the second quarter of 2026, after considering the current environment and potential risks related to the office portfolio, the segment limit for the office portfolio was decreased from 50% to 45%, with the actual segment concentration at 28.9% as of June 30, 2026. The following table summarizes commercial real estate loans by the location of the properties by which they are collateralized as of June 30, 2026.

Charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily in the commercial, financial, agricultural and other, commercial real estate and loans to individual categories. See discussions related to the provision for credit losses and loans for more information. Capital Resources At June 30, 2026, shareholders’ equity was $1.6 billion, an increase of $14.8 million from December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily the result $82.1 million in net income and a $3.7 million increase related to the reissuance of treasury stock, offset by $36.9 million of common stock repurchases, $28.1 million of dividends paid to shareholders and a $6.1 million 84 ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES decrease in the fair value of available for sale investments and interest rate swaps, which is reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income component of capital. Cash dividends declared per common share were $0.275 for the six months ended June 30, 2026. First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on First Commonwealth’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of First Commonwealth’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. First Commonwealth’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company became subject to the new regulatory risk-based capital rules adopted by the federal banking agencies implementing Basel III. The most significant changes included higher minimum capital requirements, as the minimum Tier I capital ratio increased from 4.0% to 6.0% and a new common equity Tier I capital ratio was established with a minimum level of 4.5%. Additionally, the rules improved the quality of capital by providing stricter eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments and provide for a phase-in, beginning January 1, 2016, of a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. This buffer, which was fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019, provides a requirement to hold common equity Tier 1 capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, resulting in an effective common equity Tier I risk-weighted asset minimum ratio of 7.0% on a fully phased-in basis. The Basel III Rules also permit banking organizations with less than $15.0 billion in assets to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income, which currently does not affect regulatory capital. The Company elected to retain this treatment, which reduces the volatility of regulatory capital levels. In 2018, First Commonwealth Bank, the Company's banking subsidiary, issued $100 million in subordinated debt, of which $50 million remained outstanding at June 30, 2026, which under the regulatory rules qualifies as Tier II capital. As of June 30, 2026, this subordinated debt issuance increased the total risk-based capital ratio by 50 basis points. As of June 30, 2026, First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and were considered well-capitalized under the regulatory rules. To be considered well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum Total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, Tier I leverage ratio and Common equity tier I risk-based capital as set forth in the table below: | Line item | Actual / Capital Amount | Actual / Ratio | Minimum Capital Required / Capital Amount | Required to be Considered Well Capitalized / Ratio | Required to be Considered Well Capitalized / Capital Amount | Ratio | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | (dollars in thousands) | | | | | | | Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | | | | | | | | First Commonwealth Financial Corporation | $1,491,087 | 15.10% | $1,036,920 | 10.50% | $987,543 | 10.00% | | First Commonwealth Bank | 1,379,102 | 14.00 | 1,034,528 | 10.50 | 985,265 | 10.00 | | Tier I Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | | | | | | | | First Commonwealth Financial Corporation | $1,318,043 | 13.35% | $839,411 | 8.50% | $790,034 | 8.00% | | First Commonwealth Bank | 1,206,339 | 12.24 | 837,475 | 8.50 | 788,212 | 8.00 | | Tier I Capital to Average Assets | | | | | | | | First Commonwealth Financial Corporation | $1,318,043 | 11.09% | $475,567 | 4.00% | $594,459 | 5.00% | | First Commonwealth Bank | 1,206,339 | 10.17 | 474,504 | 4.00 | 593,130 | 5.00 | | Common Equity Tier I to Risk Weighted Assets | | | | | | | | First Commonwealth Financial Corporation | $1,248,043 | 12.64% | $691,280 | 7.00% | $641,903 | 6.50% | | First Commonwealth Bank | 1,206,339 | 12.24 | 689,686 | 7.00 | 640,422 | 6.50 | On July 28, 2026, First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable on August 21, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2026. The timing and amount of future dividends are at the discretion of First Commonwealth's Board of Directors based upon, among other factors, capital levels, asset quality, liquidity and current and projected earnings. ## ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" (Subtopic 220-40) was issued. ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective, on a prospective basis, for annual periods beginning in 2027, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning in 2028, though early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial conditions or results of operations. In September 2025, Accounting Standard Update 2025-06 ("ASU 2025-06"), “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software" (Subtopic 350-40) was issued. ASU 2025-06 simplifies the accounting for internal-use software by removing project development stages and introducing a new capitalization threshold. Under the revised standard, software development costs are capitalized when management authorizes and commits funding for the project and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. ASU 2025-06 will be effective in 2028 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial conditions or results of operations. In November 2025, Accounting Standard Update 2025‑08 ("ASU 2025-08"), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" (Topic 326) was issued. ASU 2025-08 expands the scope of acquired financial assets subject to the gross up approach formerly applicable only to purchased credit‑deteriorated ("PCD") assets, to include acquired non‑PCD loans that meet certain criteria, now referred to as “purchased seasoned loans” (PSLs). Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan’s amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit‑loss expense previously required for non‑PCD assets. PSLs are defined as non‑PCD loans acquired either (i) through a business combination, or (ii) purchased more than 90 days after origination when the acquirer was not involved in origination. ASU 2025-08 will be effective on a prospective basis for loans acquired on or after the adoption date, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning in 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact on accounting for acquired assets related to future transactions. In November 2025, Accounting Standard Update 2025‑09 ("ASU 2025-09"), “Derivatives and Hedging" (Topic 815) was issued. This update allows designating a variable price component of a nonfinancial forecasted purchase or sale as the hedged risk, grouping individual forecasted transactions with similar (not identical) risk exposures, a new model for hedging forecasted interest on variable-rate debt, enabling changes in index or tenor without de-designation, subject to simplifying assumptions, and additional clarifications related to hedge accounting of nonfinancial components, net written options, and dual-hedge strategies. ASU 2025-09 will be effective beginning in 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Subject to Article 7 hereof, such sum will be paid in equal periodic installments payable in accordance with the Employer Entity's normal payroll practices during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following such Qualifying Termination (the "Severance Period"). 3.4 Continued Health Insurance Benefits.

(a)Except as expressly provided for in Article 3 hereof, the Executive will not be entitled to severance pay or benefits under any plan, program, policy, practice or other arrangement of any Employer Entity in connection with any Qualifying Termination, including without limitation this Change of Control Agreement or any severance policy of any Employer Entity. (b)During the Severance Period, the Executive will not be eligible to participate in any Employer Entity equity-based incentive, other incentive, 401(k) savings, employee stock ownership, deferred compensation, supplemental retirement, supplemental savings, life insurance, short or long term disability, employee welfare benefit, fringe benefit, perquisite, vacation, paid time-off or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice or other arrangement of any Employer Entity. (c)Unless otherwise determined by the Board or applicable committee thereof, any outstanding options or other equity based awards held by the Executive to purchase or acquire Employer stock under any equity-based plan of any Employer Entity will be subject to the exercisability, vesting and forfeiture provisions of the respective plan. Any benefits the Executive has earned with respect to his employment for periods on or prior to the Qualifying Termination under any annual incentive, deferred compensation, supplement retirement or savings, 401(k), employer stock ownership or similar plan of any Employer Entity will be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan. 3.6Release. The Company’s obligation to make any payment to the Executive as described in this Article 3 is contingent upon the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release within sixty (60) days following the Executive's Separation from Service, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, is effective to release the Company from all claims relating to the Executive’s employment or the termination thereof (other than under the terms of this Change of Control Agreement), and the Company will have no obligation to make any payment unless and until such a release has become effective. 3.7Business Expenses. The Employer Entities will reimburse the Executive for any unreimbursed, reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive on or before the Qualifying Termination, pursuant to Employer's reimbursement policies, provided that Executive present all expense reports to Employer in accordance with such policies. All such expense reports must be submitted within thirty (30) days following the date of the Qualifying Termination. 5 3.8Withholding Taxes and Other Deductions. The Employer Entities may withhold from any payments made to the Executive any applicable federal, state, local and other taxes (such as employment taxes), and such other deductions as are prescribed by law. This includes withholding amounts from payments made pursuant to this Article 3 in order to satisfy any withholding obligations. ARTICLE 4 LIMITATION ON PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Change of Control Agreement, if the payments and benefits pursuant to Article 3 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Article 3 hereof will be reduced, in the manner determined by independent tax counsel selected as provided below, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Article 3 hereof being non-deductible to the Company or such subsidiary pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if such procedure for determining the reduction of payments and benefits is determined by the Company to result in a violation of Section 409A, such reduction will be made on a pro rata basis. The determination of whether any reduction in the payments and benefits is to be made pursuant to Article 3 hereof will be based upon the written advice of independent tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive. The fees and expenses of the tax counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will use its best efforts to cause such counsel to prepare the foregoing opinion as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control or date of Qualifying Termination, if earlier. The Company and the Executive agree to be bound by the determination of such tax counsel and to make appropriate payments to each other to give effect to the intent and purpose of this Article 4. ARTICLE 5 BENEFICIARIES If the Executive dies after the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, but prior to the payment of all of the monthly severance payments required by Article 3 hereof, then all remaining severance payments will be paid to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Executive at the same time, and in the same amount, as would have been payable to the Executive. The designation of a beneficiary for purposes of this Article 5 will be revocable during the lifetime of the Executive. If the Executive does not designate a beneficiary under this Change of Control Agreement, the beneficiary will be deemed to be the same person that the Executive designated with respect to the Executive’s group life insurance program maintained by the Company. ARTICLE 6 EXECUTIVE COVENANTS 6.1Non-Disparagement.

(a)Except as expressly provided for in Article 3 hereof, the Executive will not be entitled to severance pay or benefits under any plan, program, policy, practice or other arrangement of any Employer Entity in connection with any Qualifying Termination, including without limitation this Change of Control Agreement or any severance policy of any Employer Entity. (b)During the Severance Period, the Executive will not be eligible to participate in any Employer Entity equity-based incentive, other incentive, 401(k) savings, employee stock ownership, deferred compensation, supplemental retirement, supplemental savings, life insurance, short or long term disability, employee welfare benefit, fringe benefit, perquisite, vacation, paid time-off or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice or other arrangement of any Employer Entity.

The Company’s obligation to make any payment to the Executive as described in this Article 3 is contingent upon the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release within sixty (60) days following the Executive's Separation from Service, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, is effective to release the Company from all claims relating to the Executive’s employment or the termination thereof (other than under the terms of this 5 Change of Control Agreement), and the Company will have no obligation to make any payment unless and until such a release has become effective. 3.7Business Expenses. The Employer Entities will reimburse the Executive for any unreimbursed, reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive on or before the Qualifying Termination, pursuant to Employer's reimbursement policies, provided that Executive present all expense reports to Employer in accordance with such policies.

The Employer Entities may withhold from any payments made to the Executive any applicable federal, state, local and other taxes (such as employment taxes), and such other deductions as are prescribed by law. This includes withholding amounts from payments made pursuant to this Article 3 in order to satisfy any withholding obligations. ARTICLE 4 LIMITATION ON PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Change of Control Agreement, if the payments and benefits pursuant to Article 3 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Article 3 hereof will be reduced, in the manner determined by independent tax counsel selected as provided below, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Article 3 hereof being non-deductible to the Company or such subsidiary pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if such procedure for determining the reduction of payments and benefits is determined by the Company to result in a violation of Section 409A, such reduction will be made on a pro rata basis. The determination of whether any reduction in the payments and benefits is to be made pursuant to Article 3 hereof will be based upon the written advice of independent tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive. The fees and expenses of the tax counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will use its best efforts to cause such counsel to prepare the foregoing opinion as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control or date of Qualifying Termination, if earlier. The Company and the Executive agree to be bound by the determination of such tax counsel and to make appropriate payments to each other to give effect to the intent and purpose of this Article 4. ARTICLE 5 BENEFICIARIES If the Executive dies after the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, but prior to the payment of all of the monthly severance payments required by Article 3 hereof, then all remaining severance payments will be paid to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Executive at the same time, and in the same amount, as would have been payable to the Executive. The designation of a beneficiary for purposes of this Article 5 will be revocable 6 during the lifetime of the Executive. If the Executive does not designate a beneficiary under this Change of Control Agreement, the beneficiary will be deemed to be the same person that the Executive designated with respect to the Executive’s group life insurance program maintained by the Company.

Confidential Information will not include information otherwise available in the public domain through no act or omission of the Executive. The Executive agrees to hold and safeguard the Confidential Information in trust for the Employer Entities, its successors and assigns and agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Employer Entities, misappropriate or disclose or make available to anyone for use outside the Employer Entities' organizations at any time, either during his employment with any Employer Entity or subsequent to the termination of his employment with the Employer Entities for any reason, including without limitation, termination by any Employer Entity, any of the Confidential Information, whether or not developed by the Executive, except as required in the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Employer Entities. 6.3Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive agrees that, during the term of his employment with any Employer Entity and for twenty-four (24) months following 7 termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer Entities for any reason, including without limitation termination by any Employer Entity for Cause or without Cause, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of any Employer Entity or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, to leave any Employer Entity or any of its subsidiaries, or affiliates, for any reason whatsoever, or to hire any such employee. 6.4Return of Materials.

The Executive agrees that in the event of publication by the Executive of written or graphic materials constituting “work made for hire,” as defined and used in the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 USC § 1 et seq., the Employer Entities will retain and own all rights in said materials, including right of copyright. 6.6Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Executive and the Company waive any right to a court (including jury) proceeding and instead agree to submit any dispute over the application, interpretation, validity, or any other aspect of this Change of Control Agreement to binding arbitration consistent with the application of the Federal Arbitration Act and the procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before an arbitrator who is a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators (“NAA”) out of a nationwide panel of eleven (11) arbitrators to be supplied by the AAA. The Company will absorb the fee charged and the expenses incurred by the neutral arbitrator selected. 6.7Validity. The terms and provisions of this Article 6 are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Change of Control Agreement will thereby be affected. The parties hereto acknowledge that the potential restrictions on the Executive’s future employment imposed by this Article 6 are reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all other respects.

With respect to payments subject to Section 409A (and not exempt therefrom), each such payment will be paid as a result of a permissible distribution event, and at a specified time, consistent with Section 409A. The Executive has no right to, and there will not be, any acceleration or deferral with respect to payments hereunder. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not be liable for, and nothing provided or contained in this Change of Control Agreement will obligate or cause the Company to be liable for, any tax, interest or penalties imposed on the Executive related to or arising with respect to any violation of Section 409A. For purposes of this Change of Control Agreement, any reference to "termination of employment", "termination" or similar reference will be construed to be a reference to Separation from Service. 7.2Notwithstanding any other provision of this Change of Control Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount payable or benefit to be provided under this Change of Control Agreement constitutes Section 409A Deferred Compensation that is not exempt from Section 409A, and such amount or benefit is payable or to be provided as a result of Separation from Service, and the Executive is a "specified employee" (as defined and determined under Section 409A and any relevant procedures that the Company may establish) ("Specified Employee") at the time of his Separation from Service, then such payment or benefit will not be made or provided to the Executive until the day after the date that is six months following the Executive's Separation from Service, at which time all payments or benefits that otherwise would have been paid or provided to the Executive under this Change of Control Agreement during that six-month period, but were not paid or provided because of this Section 7.2, will be paid or provided, with any cash payment to be made in a single lump sum (without any interest with respect to that six-month period).

As used in this Change of Control Agreement, “Company” will mean the Company as defined herein and any successor to its business and/or assets which assumes and agrees to perform this Change of Control Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 8.3This Change of Control Agreement will be binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Executive, the Executive’s heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators.

To the extent any such payment is made via reimbursement to the Executive, no such reimbursement will be made by the Company later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is incurred. The reimbursement right set forth in this Article 9 will be limited to fees and expenses incurred during the Executive's employment with the Employer Entities and during the ten (10) year period immediately thereafter.
