NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2026

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation: The interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, have been omitted.

The financial information of the Company included herein has been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are due to rounding. The results of the interim period ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any other period.

The acronyms and abbreviations identified below are used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It may be helpful to refer back to this page as you read this report.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which include the accounts of commercial banks: QCBT, CRBT, CSB and GB. All banks are state-chartered commercial banks and all are members of the Federal Reserve system. The Company has historically engaged in direct financing lease contracts through m2, a wholly owned subsidiary of QCBT. Since the third quarter of 2024, m2 has discontinued offering new loans and leases. Additionally, the Company also engages in wealth management services through its banking subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Derivatives: During the first quarter of 2026, the Company elected to present certain derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis when such instruments are subject to a legally enforceable master netting arrangement and the company has the intent to settle on a net basis or simultaneously, in accordance with ASC 210-20 “Balance Sheet – Offsetting”. This election applies to all derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable ISDA master netting arrangements and, where applicable, related cash collateral recognized under ASC 815. Certain derivative positions may remain presented on a gross basis even when subject to a master netting arrangement if they do not meet the balance sheet offsetting criteria as of the reporting date. Master netting arrangements give the Company the ability, in the event of default by the counterparty, to liquidate collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. This change affects the presentation of derivative assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets but does not impact net income or total stockholders’ equity. The reclassification of prior-period amounts was made to conform with the current-period presentation, as the derivative instruments were subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements in prior periods and no changes occurred to the underlying contractual rights.

Netting adjustments represent amounts recorded to convert derivative assets and derivative liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with ASC 815, consistent with the balance sheet presentation. Cash collateral receivables and payables are included in balance sheet netting when they meet the criteria for offsetting under ASC 815-10-45-5A. The net basis represents the aggregate of our net exposure to each counterparty after considering the balance sheet netting adjustments and any cash collateral. The Company manages derivative exposure by monitoring the credit risk associated with each counterparty using counterparty-specific credit risk limits, using master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 presented herein reflects a reclassification of $77.3 million between assets and liabilities to match current period balance sheet presentation. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the gross and net presentation of derivative instruments.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity to conform with the current period presentation.

Recent accounting developments:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Investors, lenders, creditors and other allocators of capital information will be able to use the expanded disclosures to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operation opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The standard was adopted for the year ending December 31, 2025, and newly required disclosures have been provided in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance improves GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance of “Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation” for profits interest and similar awards. The illustrative examples will benefit investors and other allocators of capital by providing them with more consistent information. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. The standard was adopted on January 1, 2025 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, it will require expanded disaggregation of certain income statement expense captions in the notes to the financial statements in 2027.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidated (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance limits situations in which entities must identify the primary beneficiary as the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations and requires entities to consider the general factors in Topic 805 when a business combination involving a VIE is primarily effected through exchanging equity interests. The ASU is effective prospectively to annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2026. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance changes the cost capitalization threshold by eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages; cost capitalization would begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is “probable” the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function; and enhancing the guidance around the probable-to-complete threshold. The standard also modifies the website development costs guidance. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, “Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance refines the scope of Topic 815 (derivatives) by adding a scope exception from derivative accounting for contracts that (1) are not exchange traded and (2) have underlying variables based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The accounting guidance also clarifies that revenue guidance in Topic 606 applies initially to share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The ASU is effective in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and may be applied either on a prospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Purchased Loans.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance expands the use of the gross-up method to certain acquired loans beyond purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (PCD assets). The ASU is effective for interim and annual and reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and is applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Hedge Accounting Improvements.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance is intended to more closely align financial reporting with the economics of some of an entity’s risk management activities. The guidance is applied prospectively to all hedging relationships beginning on or after the date of adoption without dedesignation. The ASU is effective prospectively to annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance clarifies the form and content choices for interim financial statements and accompanying notes, adds a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introduces a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of events since the end of the previous annual reporting period that materially affect the entity. The guidance is not intended to significantly change interim reporting or expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements” Under the standard, the accounting guidance enhances the usability of the Codification by refining accounting guidance and streamlining its application through technical corrections, making standards more consistent and easier to interpret for preparers and users. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The investments of each charter are monitored individually, and as of June 30, 2026, all were within policy limitations approved by the Company’s board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of each charter's total risk-based capital.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company's standard monitoring of its municipal securities portfolio had not uncovered any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or in the case of unrated bonds, the rating assigned using the credit underwriting standards.

  • Includes equipment financing agreements outstanding through m2, totaling $128.7 million and $178.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

** Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum. The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors, which is combined with management's expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment. As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers. The majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider, which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value. In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal.

*** Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $3.7 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans, totaled million and million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and was included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

For all loans except direct financing leases and equipment financing agreements, the Company’s credit quality indicator consists of internally assigned risk ratings. Each such loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as-needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.

For certain C&I loans (including equipment financing agreements and direct financing leases), the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

The following tables show the credit quality indicator of loans by class of receivable and year of origination as of June 30, 2026, and all loans held for sale are included in the pass rated line:

NOTE 4 – SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In prior years, the Company completed Freddie Mac sponsored securitizations. The Company retained beneficial interests from each securitization which are classified as trading securities on the consolidated balance sheets. Details related to the prior securitizations and related VIEs can be found in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On April 30, 2026, the Company entered into an arrangement with Freddie Mac to securitize and sell $281.9 million of nontaxable LIHTC loans through Freddie Mac to investors. The Company retained beneficial interests totaling $32.8 million, which are classified as trading securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The transfer of these loans was accounted for as a sale for financial reporting purposes in accordance with ASC 860, and the resulting $1.3 million net loss on sale, which included the impact of the fair value of retained beneficial interests and transaction costs, was reported in capital markets revenue on the consolidated statements of income.

Two classes of M-Series certificates were issued in conjunction with the April 2026 securitization. Freddie Mac guarantees timely payment of interest and scheduled principal on M-Series Class A Certificates, which were sold to third-party investors through a Freddie Mac securitization special purpose entity. M-Series Class B Certificates are subordinated to M-Series Class A Certificates and were issued to the Company. M-Series Class B Certificates provide 10% first loss support to Freddie Mac on the M-Series Class A Certificates, or approximately $28.4 million of first loss support. The Company’s ongoing involvement in this transaction is limited to customary obligations of loan sales, including any indemnification for material breach in the Company’s representations.

As part of the April 2026 securitization transaction, the Company released all servicing obligations and rights to a third party, which included obligations to collect and remit payments of principal and interest, manage payments of taxes and insurance, and otherwise administer the underlying loans.

The VIE entity for 2026 M-Series securitization was assessed for potential consolidation under the VIE model that requires primary beneficiaries to consolidate the entity’s results. A primary beneficiary is defined as the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity, and an interest that could be significant to the entity. To determine if an interest could be significant to the entity, both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of involvement with the entity are evaluated. At June 30, 2026, the Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE, primarily because the Company did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE.

In August 2025, the Company securitized $200.3 million of HTM municipal securities. The securitization was comprised of Class A Certificates of $134.2 million and Class B Certificates of $66.1 million. The Class A Certificates were sold to third-party investors, and the Class B Certificates were retained by the Company. The Class B Certificates provide the first loss support and are subordinate to the Class A Certificates. In order to execute this transaction, the Company created a new bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (a “Sponsor SPE”), through which the transaction was executed, and which is consolidated by the Company. Based on the structure of the transaction, the Company retains effective control of the HTM municipal securities and accounts for the transaction as a secured borrowing. The full amount of HTM municipal securities remain on the balance sheet denoted as collateralizing the borrowing and the Class A Certificates sold to third-party investors are accounted for as a secured term borrowing and classified with other borrowings on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. No separate securitization SPE or other financing entity was created for this transaction, rather, a governmental entity securitized the securities and issued the certificates.

Evaluation and assessment of VIEs for consolidation is performed on an ongoing basis by management. Any changes in facts and circumstances occurring since the previous primary beneficiary determination will be considered as part of this ongoing assessment.

The Company’s total assets related to the consolidated sponsor VIEs related to securitizations to date as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $116.0 million and $83.9 million, respectively, which are included in trading securities on the consolidated balance sheets and there were no liabilities recorded. Of the $116.0 million reported as of June 30, 2026, $32.9 million related to the 2026 M-Series securitization. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with the consolidated securitization VIEs consists of the capital invested plus any unfunded equity commitments that are binding. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs was $113.9 million, of which $28.4 million related to the 2026 M-Series securitization.

The Company uses interest rate swap, collar and swaption instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates.

Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent that they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of AOCI. Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as fair value hedges, to the extent that they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of interest income/expense.

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of rising rates on one of its variable rate subordinated notes and its variable rate trust preferred securities. All of the interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. The details of the interest rate swaps are as follows:

The Company has executed a derivative strategy more commonly known as a swaption. The swaptions are designed to hedge the Company’s regulatory capital ratios against the adverse effects of a significant decline in long-term interest rates. The swaptions are designated as unhedged in accordance with ASC 815, therefore the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is recognized into current earnings. An initial premium of $4.5 million was paid upfront for the swaptions. The details of the swaptions are as follows:

The Company has also entered into interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an equal and offsetting interest rate swap with an upstream counterparty. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront, non-refundable fee from the upstream counterparty, dependent upon the pricing that is recognized upon receipt from the counterparty. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

Interest rate swaps that were not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized as follows:

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit ratings and financial information. Additionally, the Company manages financial institution counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, and uses ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral agreements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower/customer counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company underwrites the combination of the base loan amount and potential swap exposure and focuses on high quality borrowers with strong collateral values. The majority of the Company’s swapped loan portfolio consists of loans on projects with loan-to-values, including the potential swap exposure, below %. The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE

Accounting guidance on fair value measurement uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

  • Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;
  • Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
  • Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The securities AFS portfolio consists of securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, SOFR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Trading securities consist of retained beneficial interests from securitizations and are classified as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow method, including discount rates which are deemed to be significant unobservable inputs. As of June 30, 2026, the discount rates ranged from 3.15% to 6.88%.

Interest rate caps, swaps, collars and swaptions are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on various financial assets and liabilities, further described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprised the following at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Loans/leases evaluated individually are valued at the lower of cost or fair value and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases. Collateral may be comprised of real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business.

OREO in the table above consists of property acquired through foreclosures and settlement of loans. Property acquired is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs, and is classified as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the property acquired is generally determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the property.

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company’s internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company’s operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters. The chief operating decision maker consists of the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. The chief operating decision maker reviews financial reports that detail the interest income, interest expense, provision for credit losses, noninterest income, salaries and benefits expense, occupancy expense, other noninterest expenses, income tax expense and net income from continuing operations and compares the actual results to the amounts budgeted and the reason for variances. The results of this review allow the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make operating decisions and allocate resources. Capital markets revenue is considered a significant source of noninterest income. Salaries and benefits expense and occupancy expense are considered significant noninterest expenses.

The Company’s Commercial Banking business is geographically divided by markets into the operating segments which are the subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company: QCBT, CRBT, CSB, and GB. Each of these operating segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.

The Company's All Other segment includes the corporate operations of the parent and operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds.

Selected financial information on the Company's business segments is presented as follows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks 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 the Company and the subsidiary banks' financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain OBS items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation. Management believes, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are presented in the following tables (dollars in thousands). As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, each of the subsidiary banks met such capital requirements to be “well capitalized.”

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS

The Company entered into a construction contract in 2025 for the construction of a new corporate headquarters including a new branch facility for QCBT in Bettendorf, Iowa. The Company will pay the contractor a contract price of approximately $66.5 million, subject to certain agreed upon additions and deductions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had paid $21.2 million of the contract price, resulting in a remaining future commitment of approximately $45.3 million. Construction on this facility is anticipated to be completed in 2027.

NOTE 12 - LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened litigation, claims investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings.

Under applicable accounting standards, reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible, but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature of the matter and an estimate of the loss or range of losses, to the extent such estimate can be made. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of possibility or probability, and whether the loss or range of losses is reasonably estimable. The Company’s judgments are subjective and based on the status of the legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of the Company’s defenses and consultation with in-house and outside legal counsel. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available to the Company and its advisors at the time, including, among other information, settlement agreements. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates accordingly. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the legal and regulatory processes, such judgments may be materially different than the actual outcomes. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees are expensed in the period in which the services are rendered.

Assessments of litigation exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the proceeding involves class allegations. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability will be incurred, or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability, until the matter is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time. As a result, the Company may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to litigation matters it faces.

In June 2025, CSB was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the Iowa District Court in and for Polk County. The plaintiff alleged, on behalf of himself and a proposed statewide class of consumers, breach of contract and unjust enrichment arising from the CSB’s alleged improper assessment and collection of multiple insufficient funds fees and/or overdraft fees specifically for representment transactions. The petition sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages.

CSB initially filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied in February 2026. CSB filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the petition on April 10, 2026. Management engaged outside counsel experienced in this area to assist with defense and risk assessment. CSB disputed the allegations made by the plaintiff.

As of June 30, 2026, the parties have reached an agreement to resolve the matter with no material costs to the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2026. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends. When reading this discussion, also refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this report. Page locations and specific sections and notes that are referred to in this discussion are listed in the table of contents.

Additionally, a comprehensive list of the acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this discussion is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

GENERAL

The Company was formed in February 1993 for the purpose of organizing QCBT. Over the past 33 years, the Company has grown to include four banking subsidiaries and a number of nonbanking subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $9.5 billion in consolidated assets, including $6.9 billion in net loans/leases, and $7.4 billion in deposits. The financial results of acquired entities for the periods since their acquisition are included in this report. Further information related to acquired entities has been presented in the annual reports previously filed with the SEC corresponding to the year of each acquisition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance, determination of the fair value of loans acquired in business combinations, impairment of goodwill, the fair value of financial instruments, and the fair value of securities.

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as critical accounting policies and estimates:

  • Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases and Off-Balance Sheet Exposures

A more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

income increased 11% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to higher average earning assets and higher NIM.

  • The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2026 reflecting loan growth in the current quarter and the prior quarter’s benefit from a reversal of credit loss expense related to loans transferred to held for sale. Provision expense increased $665 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2025. Provision expense in the first six months of 2026 decreased $1.1 million compared to the first six months of 2025. See the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this report for additional details.
  • Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $6.5 million, or 28%, compared to the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher capital markets revenue from swap fees during the second quarter. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $7.3 million, or 33%, compared to the second quarter of 2025 and increased $13.4 million, or 34%, when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases across both periods were primarily due to higher capital markets revenue from swap fees. The demand for low-income housing remains healthy and the economics associated with these tax credit projects continue to be favorable. The Company has a strong pipeline for this business that continues to improve. The Company expects its capital markets revenue will continue to be a significant source of fee income.
  • Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.0 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation and higher professional and data processing fees. Noninterest expense increased $3.6 million, or 7%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation, and higher occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation. Noninterest expense increased $9.2 million, or 10%, when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation and higher occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation.

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL METRICS

The Company has established certain strategic financial metrics by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these metrics, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these metrics may be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company's long-term strategic financial metrics are as follows:

  • Generate loan and lease growth of 9% per year, funded by core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits;
  • Grow fee-based income by at least 6% per year; and
  • Limit annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

  • Ratios and amounts provided for these measurements represent year-to-date actual amounts for the respective period that are then annualized for comparison to the prior year actual. The calculations provided exclude non-core noninterest income and noninterest expense.

** Excludes the securitization, the LIHTC loan offtake transactions and planned runoff of the m2 portfolio.

It should be noted that these initiatives are long-term targets.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has taken the following actions during the second quarter of 2026 to support its corporate strategy and further the strategic financial metrics shown above:

  • In the second quarter of 2026, the Company grew loans and leases by 11.9% annualized, excluding the securitization, LIHTC loan offtake transactions, and planned m2 portfolio runoff. Loan growth was driven by both traditional and LIHTC lending.
  • The Company acted as the correspondent bank through QCBT for 188 downstream banks with total noninterest bearing deposits of $99.3 million and total interest-bearing deposits of $939.3 million as of June 30, 2026, as correspondent banking continued to be a core line of business for the Company. By comparison, the Company acted as the correspondent bank for 189 downstream banks with total noninterest bearing deposits of $97.3 million and total interest-bearing deposits of $933.5 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company is competitively positioned with experienced staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the four states currently served – Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois. This line of business provides a strong source of deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans. The Company also managed off-balance sheet liquidity held at the Federal Reserve on behalf of the downstream banks of $459.8 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $409.6 million as of June 30, 2025.
  • The Company continues to focus on executing interest rate swaps on select commercial loans, including LIHTC permanent loans. These interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent on the pricing. Management believes that these swaps help position the Company more favorably for various interest rate environments. The Company will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at each of its subsidiary banks as appropriate for applicable borrowers and the Company. Levels of capital markets revenue from swap fee income are influenced by prevailing interest rates. Capital markets revenue, primarily from swap fee income, totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, which included a loss on securitization of $1.3 million, as compared to $9.9 million for the same period of the prior year. Capital markets revenue, primarily from swap fee income, totaled $26.1 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to $16.4 million for the same period of the prior year. Demand for affordable housing remains strong, as discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this report, above.
  • Over many years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust and investment advisory and management fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management increased by $623.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and increased by $570.7 million for the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to new relationships and favorable market returns. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial

services. The majority of trust fees are determined based on the value of the investments managed. The Company expects trust and investment advisory and management fees to be negatively impacted during periods of lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of higher market valuations. The Company has expanded its wealth management business into the southwest Missouri and central Iowa markets.

  • Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2026 totaled $105.3 million as compared to $96.1 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expenses related to higher variable incentive compensation and increased occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted EPS,” “adjusted ROAA,” “NIM (TEY),” “adjusted NIM (TEY),” “efficiency ratio,” and “adjusted efficiency ratio.” In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

  • TCE/TA ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to stockholders’ equity and total assets;
  • Adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROAA (all non-GAAP measures) are reconciled to net income;
  • NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP) is reconciled to NIM; and
  • Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) and adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) are reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income.

The TCE/TA non-GAAP ratio has been a focus for investors, and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.

The following tables also include several “adjusted” non-GAAP measurements of financial performance. The Company’s management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-core or non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance.

NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company’s management utilizes to determine the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures.

The efficiency ratio and adjusted efficiency ratio are utilized by management to compare the Company to its peers. They are standard ratios used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue in the banking industry and is widely utilized by investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN - (TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS)

Net interest income, on a GAAP basis, increased 9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis (non-GAAP) increased 8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income, on a GAAP basis, increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis (non-GAAP) increased 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income changed primarily due to the Company’s loan and investment growth and continued expansion of loan and investment yields.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin as reported on the Company’s financial statements and on a tax equivalent basis is as follows:

The Company’s management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet strategies which include better loan pricing, reducing reliance on rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate changes and finding additional ways to manage cost of funds through derivatives.

Offsetting these items, the Company incurs noninterest expenses, which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, professional and data processing fees, FDIC and other insurance expense, loan/lease expense and other administrative expenses.

The Company’s operating results are also affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, income tax rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. For a discussion of the factors that could have a material impact on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, see the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $780 thousand, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025 and increased $4.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025. Interest income (tax equivalent non-GAAP) increased $502 thousand, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025 and increased $4.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025. These increases in interest income were primarily due to higher investment average balances and higher investment and loan yields.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The Company intends to continue growing quality loans as well as its private placement tax-exempt securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased $5.1 million, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025, and decreased $9.1 million, comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025, primarily due to the lower cost of funds. The Company’s cost of funds was 2.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from 3.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s costs of funds was 2.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from 3.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was a result of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates and the corresponding impact on the Company’s liability sensitive balance sheet.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The ACL is established through provision expense to provide an estimated ACL. The following table shows the components of the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Total provision for credit losses$4,708$4,043$7,162$8,277

The Company had a total provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $4.7 million for both the second quarter of 2026 and the same period of 2025. The provision related to OBS was $56 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a negative provision of $624 thousand for the second quarter of 2025 and was a negative provision of $178 thousand for the first six months of 2026 compared to negative $1.1 million for the first six months of 2025. The balance primarily fluctuates with changes in the balance of unfunded commitments. Provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the first six months of 2026 totaled $7.3 million, a decrease from $9.4 million for the first six months of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in NPAs and net charge-offs, partially offset by loan growth. There was no provision related to HTM securities for the first six months of 2026 or 2025.

The ACL for loans and leases is established based on a number of factors, including the Company's historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, economic and other forecasts, the local, state and national economies and risk associated with the loans/leases and securities in the portfolio, as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” section of this report.

The Company had an ACL for loans/leases held for investment of 1.24% of total gross loans/leases held for investment at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.26% at March 31, 2026 and 1.28% at June 30, 2025.

Additional discussion of the Company's allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this report.

The Company continues to be successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust and investment advisory and management fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management have increased $623.3 million since March 31, 2026 and have increased $978.1 million since June 30, 2025 due primarily to new relationships and favorable market performance. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of trust fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. Trust fees increased 26% in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year and increased 15% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025 due to growth in assets under management and market performance. The Company expects trust and investment advisory and management fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of significantly higher market valuations.

Investment advisory and management fees increased 24% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 23% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. Similar to trust fees, fees from these services are largely determined based on the market value of the investments managed. As a result, fee income from this line of business fluctuates with market valuations.

Deposit service fees decreased 3% in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 7% in the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025 due to decreases in nonsufficient funds and overdraft fees. The Company’s total deposits increased by $99.0 million, or 1%, when comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025. The Company continues to be successful in expanding its core deposit base with a targeted focus on growing the number of net new accounts in 2026.

Gains on sales of residential real estate loans, net, decreased 9% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 31% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The increase was due to higher volumes of client residential real estate purchase activity generating higher levels of gains.

Capital markets revenue totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Capital markets revenue totaled $26.1 for the first six months of 2026, compared to $16.4 million for the first six months of 2025. As discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this report, demand for affordable housing remains strong. In the traditional commercial portfolio, the pricing is more competitive and the duration is shorter as compared to the LIHTC permanent loans. Therefore, the mix of loans with interest rate swaps continued to be heavily weighted towards LIHTC permanent loans. Future levels of swap fees are dependent upon the needs of our traditional commercial and LIHTC borrowers, and the size of the related nonrefundable swap fee may fluctuate depending on the interest rate environment.

The Company’s interest rate swap program consists of back-to-back interest rate swaps with two types of commercial borrowers: (1) traditional commercial loans of a certain minimum size and sophistication, and (2) LIHTC permanent loans. Most of the growth has been in the latter category as the Company has grown relationships with strong LIHTC developers with many years of experience. The LIHTC industry is strong and growing with an increased need for affordable housing. The back-to-back interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent upon the pricing from an upstream counter party.

Earnings on BOLI increased 3%, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 29% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases were driven by BOLI exchanges in the first six months of 2025 resulting in surrender charges of $168 thousand. There were no purchases of BOLI in the first six months of 2026 or 2025. Notably, a portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby returns are determined by the performance of the equity markets. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 6% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 9% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The Company continues to be successful in adding net new demand deposit accounts. The fees can vary based on customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.

Correspondent banking fees increased 7% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 10% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in correspondent banking balances. Fees from correspondent banks generally increase when non-interest bearing account balances decrease due to lower associated earnings credits. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income. The Company now serves 188 banks in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Loan-related fee income decreased 3% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower loan participation service fees and increased 1% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher participation service fees.

Fair value gains on derivatives and trading securities were $802 thousand in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $230 thousand in gains in the same period of the prior year. Fair value losses on derivatives and trading securities were $67 thousand in the first six months of 2026, as compared to $777 thousand in losses in the first six months of 2025. The Company uses swaptions to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates. These derivatives are unhedged and are marked-to-market, with gains or losses recorded in noninterest income which was a contributing factor in the decrease in fair value losses on derivatives. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other noninterest income increased $6 thousand, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year, and increased $434 thousand, or 70% in the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025, due to fluctuations in the market value of the Company’s equity investments. Income on equity investments is largely determined based on the market value of the investments managed.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency and operating leverage as discussed in the “Strategic Financial Metrics” section.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 13% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 14% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year primarily due to annual merit increases and capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation associated with performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 7% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 12% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to higher property tax expense and depreciation expense with the opening of new offices in the Cedar Rapids and Ankeny, Iowa markets.

Professional and data processing fees decreased 8% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 4% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing such one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract negotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense remained stable when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 3% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to asset growth.

Loan/lease expense decreased 29% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 50% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to lower legal expense on loan workouts and higher recoveries of legal expenses incurred on loan workouts.

Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. Net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $11 thousand, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $50 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. Net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate for the first six months of 2026 totaled $5 thousand, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $41 thousand for the first six months of 2025.

Advertising and marketing expense increased 4% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 7% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in other sales promotions.

Communication and data connectivity expense decreased 11% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 21% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to improvements to our data center connectivity channels and a reduction in cell phone and air card expenses as the Company continues to improve operational efficiencies.

Supplies expense increased 5% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 9% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. These increases were primarily due to the timing of purchases.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, decreased 1% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 5% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. As transaction volumes and the number of correspondent banking clients fluctuate, the associated expenses are expected to also fluctuate.

Correspondent banking expense increased 7% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 4% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.

Intangibles amortization expense decreased 23% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 23% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The decreases across both periods were due to no longer needing to amortize an intangible at CSB as done in the prior year.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

These expenses are expected to naturally decrease as intangibles become fully amortized unless there is an addition to intangible assets.

Payment card processing expense decreased 9% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 12% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to renegotiated debit card contracts.

Trust expense increased 10% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 21% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to increased assets under management when comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025.

Other noninterest expense increased 21% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 56% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases across both periods were primarily due to taxes on stock repurchases in 2026. Included in other noninterest expense are items such as meals and entertainment, subscriptions and sales and use tax.

INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company incurred income tax expense of $3.2 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million in the same period of the prior year. During the first six months of 2026, the Company incurred income tax expense of $5.7 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.9 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income from higher capital markets revenue.

Refer to the reconciliation of the expected income tax rate to the effective tax rate that is included in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

Borrowings increased $242.1 million, or 58%, during the second quarter of 2026 due primarily to a decrease in deposits. The Company actively managed down higher cost deposits off in anticipation of the liquidity generated by the loan securitization and LIHTC offtake transactions.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk, maximizing return and minimizing credit risk. In recent years, the Company has continued to shift the mix of the portfolio by decreasing U.S. government sponsored agency securities, while increasing tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the large majority are privately placed tax-exempt debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company’s existing markets) that require a thorough underwriting process before investment and are generated by our specialty finance group.

Trading securities had a fair value of $116.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and consisted of retained beneficial interests acquired in conjunction with loan securitizations completed by the Company in prior years. See also Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of these securitizations.

Following is a breakdown of the Company's securities portfolio by type, the percentage of net unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

totaling $129.6 million and $77.7 million, respectively, held for sale in preparation for a LIHTC loan sale. There were no loans held for sale in preparation for securitization or LIHTC loan sales at December 31, 2025 or June 30, 2025. All loans held for sale are performing and pass rated.

CRE loans are predominantly included within the CRE – owner occupied, CRE – non-owner occupied, construction and land development and multi-family loan classes, however, CRE loans can also be included in 1-4 family based on nature of the loan. As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on the underwriting and monitoring of the characteristics and composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non-owner-occupied loans because owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. Additionally, the Company reviews CRE concentrations by industry in relation to risk-based capital on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2026, approximately 44% of the CRE loan portfolio consisted of LIHTC loans, all of which are performing and all of which are pass rated.

Historically, the Company structures most residential real estate loans to conform to the underwriting requirements of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to allow the subsidiary banks to resell the loans on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans and to recognize noninterest income from the gain on sale. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans in the table above. Historically, the subsidiary banks structure most loans that will not conform to the underwriting requirements of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as adjustable-rate mortgages that mature or adjust in one to five years, and then retain these loans in their respective portfolios. The Company also holds 15-year fixed rate residential real estate loans originated in prior years that met certain credit guidelines. The Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

The following is a listing of significant industries within the Company's CRE loan portfolio. These include loans in the following portfolio segments as of June 30, 2026: CRE owner occupied, CRE non-owner occupied, certain construction and land development, multifamily and certain 1-4 family real estate. Within the CRE Loan portfolio, there is a low amount of office exposure, totaling $219.0 million, or 3.1%, of total loans at June 30, 2026.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS/LEASES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET EXPOSURES

The adequacy of the ACL was determined by management based on numerous factors, including the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, historical loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, government guarantees and other factors that, in management's judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate ACL was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed quarterly with specific detailed reviews completed on all credits risk-rated less than “fair quality,” and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the credit administration staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company recorded a negative provision on credit losses related to OBS exposures in the second quarter of 2026 of $56 thousand and negative provision of $178 thousand for the first six months of 2026. The balance primarily fluctuates with changes in the balance of unfunded commitments. At June 30, 2026, the allowance for OBS exposures was $6.7 million.

  • Amounts above include the government guaranteed portion, if any. For the calculation of ACL, the Company assigns internal risk ratings of Pass (Rating 2) for the government guaranteed portion.

** Criticized loans are defined as loans except for direct financing leases and equipment financing agreements with internally assigned risk ratings of 9, 10, or 11, regardless of performance.

*** Classified loans are defined as loans except for direct financing leases and equipment financing agreements with internally assigned risk ratings of 10 or 11, regardless of performance.

Criticized loans as a percentage of loans and leases decreased from 2.01% at March 31 2026 to 1.91% at June 30, 2026 primarily due to payoffs on two large loans, while classified loans as a percentage of loans and leases increased to 0.92% at June 30, 2026 from 0.87% at March 31, 2026 primarily due to the downgrade of one loan. The Company continues its strong focus on improving credit quality in an effort to limit NPLs.

The following table summarizes the trend in allowance as a percentage of gross loans/leases and as a percentage of NPLs:

not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision for credit losses. Asset quality remains a cornerstone of the Company’s strategy. Sustainable, profitable growth depends on maintaining that quality. The Company consistently directs focused efforts across its subsidiary banks and equipment financing company to strengthen and improve the overall loan/lease portfolio.

NPAs at June 30, 2026 were $39.5 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from March 31, 2026, and a decrease of $3.2 million from June 30, 2025. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.41% at June 30, 2026 and 0.45% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.46% at June 30, 2025.

The majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases. For nonaccrual loans/leases, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.

OREO and other repossessed assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The policy of the Company is to place a loan/lease on nonaccrual status if: (a) payment in full of interest or principal is not expected; or (b) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is both in the process of collection and well secured. A loan/lease is well secured if it is secured by collateral with sufficient market value to repay principal and all accrued interest. A debt is in the process of collection if collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to current status.

The Company's lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a top priority for management.

Deposits in the ICS/CDARS program (which are included in interest-bearing deposits and time deposits in the preceding table) totaled $2.4 billion, or 31.7% of all deposits, as of June 30, 2026.

The Company’s correspondent bank deposit portfolio and funds managed consists of the following:

  • Noninterest-bearing deposits which represent correspondent banks’ operating cash used for processing transactions with the Federal Reserve,
  • Money market deposits which represent excess liquidity, and
  • EBA balances of the correspondent banks at the FRB.

The Company had total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits of $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management will continue to focus on growing its core deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits. With the significant success achieved by QCBT in growing its correspondent banking business, QCBT has developed procedures to proactively monitor this industry concentration of deposits and loans. Other deposit-related industry concentrations and large accounts are monitored by the internal asset liability management committees.

As a result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The subsidiary banks can utilize FHLB advances for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of changing interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.

The table below presents the Company's FHLB advances as of the periods indicated:

The Company had an increase in overnight FHLB advances of $243.0 million from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to funding needs from strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2026 and managing down higher cost deposits.

It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize advances and/or brokered deposits to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.

On October 20, 2025, the board of directors of the Company approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as the Company deems appropriate, of up to 1,700,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 10% of the outstanding shares as of September 30, 2025. The new share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of its common stock, and other than repurchases that have been completed to date, there is no assurance that the Company will do so. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The number, timing and price of shares repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other factors, including opportunities to deploy the Company's capital. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the program’s expiration, without any prior notice.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customer credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid an over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $191.8 million and $250.5 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s on-balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio.

At June 30, 2026, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $929.8 million with upstream correspondent banks, of which $489.0 million was secured and $440.8 million was unsecured. At June 30, 2026, the Company had the full $929.8 million available under these lines of credit.

At December 31, 2025, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $930.7 million, of which $489.9 million was secured and $440.8 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2025, $930.7 million was available under these lines of credit.

The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of available lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company maintains a $60.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2027. At June 30, 2026, the full $60.0 million was available.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1.0 billion in actual correspondent banking deposits spread over 188 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

Investing activities used cash of $429.7 million during the first six months of 2026, compared to $220.1 million for the same period of 2025. The net decrease in federal funds sold was $3.5 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to a net decrease of $150 thousand for the same period of 2025. The net increase in interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions was $32.8 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to a net decrease of $24.7 million for the same period of 2025. Proceeds from calls, maturities, and paydowns of securities were $41.2 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $48.6 million for the same period of 2025. Purchases of securities used cash of $95.8 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $119.9 million for the same period of 2025. There were no proceeds from the sale of securities for the first six months of 2026 and 2025. The net increase in loans/leases used cash of $318.8 million for the first six months of 2026 compared to a net increase in loans of $149.8 million for the same period of 2025.

Financing activities used cash of $11.3 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $194.4 million for same period of 2025. Net increases in deposits totaled $3.1 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to net increases in deposits of $257.2 million for the same period of 2025. During the first six months of 2026, the Company's short-term borrowings increased $6.3 million compared to a decrease in short-term borrowings of $450 thousand for the same period of 2025. Net increase in overnight advances totaled $23.0 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to net decrease of $60.0 million for the same period of 2025. Payments on other borrowings totaled $8.2 million for the first six months of 2026. There were no payments on other borrowings during the first six months of 2025. Repurchase and cancellation of shares in the first six months of 2026 totaled $34.3 million, as compared to no repurchase and cancellation of shares in the first six months of 2025.

Total cash provided by operating activities was $475.9 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $38.7 million for the same period of 2025.

Throughout its history, the Company has secured additional capital through various sources, including the issuance of common and preferred stock, as well as trust preferred securities and subordinated notes.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the subsidiary banks remained “well-capitalized” in accordance with regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking authorities. Refer to Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding regulatory capital.

INTRODUCTION

This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2026. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends. When reading this discussion, also refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this report. Page locations and specific sections and notes that are referred to in this discussion are listed in the table of contents.

Additionally, a comprehensive list of the acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this discussion is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

GENERAL

The Company was formed in February 1993 for the purpose of organizing QCBT. Over the past 33 years, the Company has grown to include four banking subsidiaries and a number of nonbanking subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $9.5 billion in consolidated assets, including $6.9 billion in net loans/leases, and $7.4 billion in deposits. The financial results of acquired entities for the periods since their acquisition are included in this report. Further information related to acquired entities has been presented in the annual reports previously filed with the SEC corresponding to the year of each acquisition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance, determination of the fair value of loans acquired in business combinations, impairment of goodwill, the fair value of financial instruments, and the fair value of securities.

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as critical accounting policies and estimates:

  • Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases and Off-Balance Sheet Exposures

A more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

income increased 11% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to higher average earning assets and higher NIM.

  • The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2026 reflecting loan growth in the current quarter and the prior quarter’s benefit from a reversal of credit loss expense related to loans transferred to held for sale. Provision expense increased $665 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2025. Provision expense in the first six months of 2026 decreased $1.1 million compared to the first six months of 2025. See the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this report for additional details.
  • Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $6.5 million, or 28%, compared to the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher capital markets revenue from swap fees during the second quarter. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $7.3 million, or 33%, compared to the second quarter of 2025 and increased $13.4 million, or 34%, when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases across both periods were primarily due to higher capital markets revenue from swap fees. The demand for low-income housing remains healthy and the economics associated with these tax credit projects continue to be favorable. The Company has a strong pipeline for this business that continues to improve. The Company expects its capital markets revenue will continue to be a significant source of fee income.
  • Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.0 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation and higher professional and data processing fees. Noninterest expense increased $3.6 million, or 7%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation, and higher occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation. Noninterest expense increased $9.2 million, or 10%, when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to higher capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation and higher occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation.

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL METRICS

The Company has established certain strategic financial metrics by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these metrics, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these metrics may be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company's long-term strategic financial metrics are as follows:

  • Generate loan and lease growth of 9% per year, funded by core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits;
  • Grow fee-based income by at least 6% per year; and
  • Limit annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

  • Ratios and amounts provided for these measurements represent year-to-date actual amounts for the respective period that are then annualized for comparison to the prior year actual. The calculations provided exclude non-core noninterest income and noninterest expense.

** Excludes the securitization, the LIHTC loan offtake transactions and planned runoff of the m2 portfolio.

It should be noted that these initiatives are long-term targets.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has taken the following actions during the second quarter of 2026 to support its corporate strategy and further the strategic financial metrics shown above:

  • In the second quarter of 2026, the Company grew loans and leases by 11.9% annualized, excluding the securitization, LIHTC loan offtake transactions, and planned m2 portfolio runoff. Loan growth was driven by both traditional and LIHTC lending.
  • The Company acted as the correspondent bank through QCBT for 188 downstream banks with total noninterest bearing deposits of $99.3 million and total interest-bearing deposits of $939.3 million as of June 30, 2026, as correspondent banking continued to be a core line of business for the Company. By comparison, the Company acted as the correspondent bank for 189 downstream banks with total noninterest bearing deposits of $97.3 million and total interest-bearing deposits of $933.5 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company is competitively positioned with experienced staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the four states currently served – Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois. This line of business provides a strong source of deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans. The Company also managed off-balance sheet liquidity held at the Federal Reserve on behalf of the downstream banks of $459.8 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $409.6 million as of June 30, 2025.
  • The Company continues to focus on executing interest rate swaps on select commercial loans, including LIHTC permanent loans. These interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent on the pricing. Management believes that these swaps help position the Company more favorably for various interest rate environments. The Company will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at each of its subsidiary banks as appropriate for applicable borrowers and the Company. Levels of capital markets revenue from swap fee income are influenced by prevailing interest rates. Capital markets revenue, primarily from swap fee income, totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, which included a loss on securitization of $1.3 million, as compared to $9.9 million for the same period of the prior year. Capital markets revenue, primarily from swap fee income, totaled $26.1 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to $16.4 million for the same period of the prior year. Demand for affordable housing remains strong, as discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this report, above.
  • Over many years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust and investment advisory and management fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management increased by $623.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and increased by $570.7 million for the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to new relationships and favorable market returns. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial

services. The majority of trust fees are determined based on the value of the investments managed. The Company expects trust and investment advisory and management fees to be negatively impacted during periods of lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of higher market valuations. The Company has expanded its wealth management business into the southwest Missouri and central Iowa markets.

  • Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2026 totaled $105.3 million as compared to $96.1 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expenses related to higher variable incentive compensation and increased occupancy and equipment expense related to the Company’s digital transformation.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted EPS,” “adjusted ROAA,” “NIM (TEY),” “adjusted NIM (TEY),” “efficiency ratio,” and “adjusted efficiency ratio.” In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

  • TCE/TA ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to stockholders’ equity and total assets;
  • Adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROAA (all non-GAAP measures) are reconciled to net income;
  • NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP) is reconciled to NIM; and
  • Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) and adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) are reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income.

The TCE/TA non-GAAP ratio has been a focus for investors, and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.

The following tables also include several “adjusted” non-GAAP measurements of financial performance. The Company’s management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-core or non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance.

NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company’s management utilizes to determine the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures.

The efficiency ratio and adjusted efficiency ratio are utilized by management to compare the Company to its peers. They are standard ratios used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue in the banking industry and is widely utilized by investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN - (TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS)

Net interest income, on a GAAP basis, increased 9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis (non-GAAP) increased 8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income, on a GAAP basis, increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis (non-GAAP) increased 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income changed primarily due to the Company’s loan and investment growth and continued expansion of loan and investment yields.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin as reported on the Company’s financial statements and on a tax equivalent basis is as follows:

The Company’s management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet strategies which include better loan pricing, reducing reliance on rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate changes and finding additional ways to manage cost of funds through derivatives.

Offsetting these items, the Company incurs noninterest expenses, which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, professional and data processing fees, FDIC and other insurance expense, loan/lease expense and other administrative expenses.

The Company’s operating results are also affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, income tax rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. For a discussion of the factors that could have a material impact on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, see the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $780 thousand, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025 and increased $4.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025. Interest income (tax equivalent non-GAAP) increased $502 thousand, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025 and increased $4.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025. These increases in interest income were primarily due to higher investment average balances and higher investment and loan yields.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The Company intends to continue growing quality loans as well as its private placement tax-exempt securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased $5.1 million, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of 2025, and decreased $9.1 million, comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of 2025, primarily due to the lower cost of funds. The Company’s cost of funds was 2.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from 3.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s costs of funds was 2.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from 3.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was a result of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates and the corresponding impact on the Company’s liability sensitive balance sheet.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The ACL is established through provision expense to provide an estimated ACL. The following table shows the components of the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Total provision for credit losses$4,708$4,043$7,162$8,277

The Company had a total provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $4.7 million for both the second quarter of 2026 and the same period of 2025. The provision related to OBS was $56 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a negative provision of $624 thousand for the second quarter of 2025 and was a negative provision of $178 thousand for the first six months of 2026 compared to negative $1.1 million for the first six months of 2025. The balance primarily fluctuates with changes in the balance of unfunded commitments. Provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the first six months of 2026 totaled $7.3 million, a decrease from $9.4 million for the first six months of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in NPAs and net charge-offs, partially offset by loan growth. There was no provision related to HTM securities for the first six months of 2026 or 2025.

The ACL for loans and leases is established based on a number of factors, including the Company's historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, economic and other forecasts, the local, state and national economies and risk associated with the loans/leases and securities in the portfolio, as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” section of this report.

The Company had an ACL for loans/leases held for investment of 1.24% of total gross loans/leases held for investment at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.26% at March 31, 2026 and 1.28% at June 30, 2025.

Additional discussion of the Company's allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this report.

The Company continues to be successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust and investment advisory and management fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management have increased $623.3 million since March 31, 2026 and have increased $978.1 million since June 30, 2025 due primarily to new relationships and favorable market performance. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of trust fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. Trust fees increased 26% in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year and increased 15% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025 due to growth in assets under management and market performance. The Company expects trust and investment advisory and management fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of significantly higher market valuations.

Investment advisory and management fees increased 24% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 23% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. Similar to trust fees, fees from these services are largely determined based on the market value of the investments managed. As a result, fee income from this line of business fluctuates with market valuations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Deposit service fees decreased 3% in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 7% in the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025 due to decreases in nonsufficient funds and overdraft fees. The Company’s total deposits increased by $99.0 million, or 1%, when comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025. The Company continues to be successful in expanding its core deposit base with a targeted focus on growing the number of net new accounts in 2026.

Gains on sales of residential real estate loans, net, decreased 9% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 31% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The increase was due to higher volumes of client residential real estate purchase activity generating higher levels of gains.

Capital markets revenue totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Capital markets revenue totaled $26.1 for the first six months of 2026, compared to $16.4 million for the first six months of 2025. As discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this report, demand for affordable housing remains strong. In the traditional commercial portfolio, the pricing is more competitive and the duration is shorter as compared to the LIHTC permanent loans. Therefore, the mix of loans with interest rate swaps continued to be heavily weighted towards LIHTC permanent loans. Future levels of swap fees are dependent upon the needs of our traditional commercial and LIHTC borrowers, and the size of the related nonrefundable swap fee may fluctuate depending on the interest rate environment.

The Company’s interest rate swap program consists of back-to-back interest rate swaps with two types of commercial borrowers: (1) traditional commercial loans of a certain minimum size and sophistication, and (2) LIHTC permanent loans. Most of the growth has been in the latter category as the Company has grown relationships with strong LIHTC developers with many years of experience. The LIHTC industry is strong and growing with an increased need for affordable housing. The back-to-back interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent upon the pricing from an upstream counter party.

Earnings on BOLI increased 3%, comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 29% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases were driven by BOLI exchanges in the first six months of 2025 resulting in surrender charges of $168 thousand. There were no purchases of BOLI in the first six months of 2026 or 2025. Notably, a portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby returns are determined by the performance of the equity markets. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 6% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 9% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The Company continues to be successful in adding net new demand deposit accounts. The fees can vary based on customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.

Correspondent banking fees increased 7% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year and increased 10% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in correspondent banking balances. Fees from correspondent banks generally increase when non-interest bearing account balances decrease due to lower associated earnings credits. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income. The Company now serves 188 banks in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Loan-related fee income decreased 3% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower loan participation service fees and increased 1% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher participation service fees.

Fair value gains on derivatives and trading securities were $802 thousand in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $230 thousand in gains in the same period of the prior year. Fair value losses on derivatives and trading securities were $67 thousand in the first six months of 2026, as compared to $777 thousand in losses in the first six months of 2025. The Company uses swaptions to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates. These derivatives are unhedged and are marked-to-market, with gains or losses recorded in noninterest income which was a contributing factor in the decrease in fair value losses on derivatives. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other noninterest income increased $6 thousand, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of the prior year, and increased $434 thousand, or 70% in the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025, due to fluctuations in the market value of the Company’s equity investments. Income on equity investments is largely determined based on the market value of the investments managed.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency and operating leverage as discussed in the “Strategic Financial Metrics” section.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 13% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 14% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year primarily due to annual merit increases and capital markets revenue and its impact on variable compensation associated with performance.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 7% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 12% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to higher property tax expense and depreciation expense with the opening of new offices in the Cedar Rapids and Ankeny, Iowa markets.

Professional and data processing fees decreased 8% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 4% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing such one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract negotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense remained stable when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 3% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to asset growth.

Loan/lease expense decreased 29% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 50% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due primarily to lower legal expense on loan workouts and higher recoveries of legal expenses incurred on loan workouts.

Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. Net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $11 thousand, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $50 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. Net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate for the first six months of 2026 totaled $5 thousand, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $41 thousand for the first six months of 2025.

Advertising and marketing expense increased 4% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 7% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in other sales promotions.

Communication and data connectivity expense decreased 11% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 21% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to improvements to our data center connectivity channels and a reduction in cell phone and air card expenses as the Company continues to improve operational efficiencies.

Supplies expense increased 5% comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 9% comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. These increases were primarily due to the timing of purchases.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, decreased 1% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 5% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. As transaction volumes and the number of correspondent banking clients fluctuate, the associated expenses are expected to also fluctuate.

Correspondent banking expense increased 7% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 4% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.

Intangibles amortization expense decreased 23% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 23% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The decreases across both periods were due to no longer needing to amortize an intangible at CSB as done in the prior year.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

These expenses are expected to naturally decrease as intangibles become fully amortized unless there is an addition to intangible assets.

Payment card processing expense decreased 9% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 12% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to renegotiated debit card contracts.

Trust expense increased 10% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 21% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year due to increased assets under management when comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025.

Other noninterest expense increased 21% when comparing the second quarter of 2026 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 56% when comparing the first six months of 2026 to the same period of the prior year. The increases across both periods were primarily due to taxes on stock repurchases in 2026. Included in other noninterest expense are items such as meals and entertainment, subscriptions and sales and use tax.

INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company incurred income tax expense of $3.2 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million in the same period of the prior year. During the first six months of 2026, the Company incurred income tax expense of $5.7 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.9 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income from higher capital markets revenue.

Refer to the reconciliation of the expected income tax rate to the effective tax rate that is included in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

The Company’s net loans/leases decreased $254.3 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2026. Deposits decreased $353.5 million, or 5%, during the second quarter of 2026. Borrowings increased $242.1 million, or 58%, during the second quarter of 2026 due primarily to a decrease in deposits. The Company actively managed down higher cost deposits off in anticipation of the liquidity generated by the loan securitization and LIHTC offtake transactions.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk, maximizing return and minimizing credit risk. In recent years, the Company has continued to shift the mix of the portfolio by decreasing U.S. government sponsored agency securities, while increasing tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the large majority are privately placed tax-exempt debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company’s existing markets) that require a thorough underwriting process before investment and are generated by our specialty finance group.

Trading securities had a fair value of $116.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and consisted of retained beneficial interests acquired in conjunction with loan securitizations completed by the Company in prior years. See also Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of these securitizations.

Following is a breakdown of the Company's securities portfolio by type, the percentage of net unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

totaling $129.6 million and $77.7 million, respectively, held for sale in preparation for a LIHTC loan sale. There were no loans held for sale in preparation for securitization or LIHTC loan sales at December 31, 2025 or June 30, 2025. All loans held for sale are performing and pass rated.

CRE loans are predominantly included within the CRE – owner occupied, CRE – non-owner occupied, construction and land development and multi-family loan classes, however, CRE loans can also be included in 1-4 family based on nature of the loan. As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on the underwriting and monitoring of the characteristics and composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non-owner-occupied loans because owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. Additionally, the Company reviews CRE concentrations by industry in relation to risk-based capital on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2026, approximately 44% of the CRE loan portfolio consisted of LIHTC loans, all of which are performing and all of which are pass rated.

Historically, the Company structures most residential real estate loans to conform to the underwriting requirements of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to allow the subsidiary banks to resell the loans on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans and to recognize noninterest income from the gain on sale. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans in the table above. Historically, the subsidiary banks structure most loans that will not conform to the underwriting requirements of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as adjustable-rate mortgages that mature or adjust in one to five years, and then retain these loans in their respective portfolios. The Company also holds 15-year fixed rate residential real estate loans originated in prior years that met certain credit guidelines. The Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

The following is a listing of significant industries within the Company's CRE loan portfolio. These include loans in the following portfolio segments as of June 30, 2026: CRE owner occupied, CRE non-owner occupied, certain construction and land development, multifamily and certain 1-4 family real estate. Within the CRE Loan portfolio, there is a low amount of office exposure, totaling $219.0 million, or 3.1%, of total loans at June 30, 2026.

  • A limited amount of 15-year, 20-year and 30-year fixed rate residential real estate loans that meet certain credit guidelines.

The remaining 1-4 family real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans and to recognize noninterest income from the gain on sale.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS/LEASES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET EXPOSURES

The adequacy of the ACL was determined by management based on numerous factors, including the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, historical loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, government guarantees and other factors that, in management's judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate ACL was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed quarterly with specific detailed reviews completed on all credits risk-rated less than “fair quality,” and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the credit administration staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company recorded a negative provision on credit losses related to OBS exposures in the second quarter of 2026 of $56 thousand and negative provision of $178 thousand for the first six months of 2026. The balance primarily fluctuates with changes in the balance of unfunded commitments. At June 30, 2026, the allowance for OBS exposures was $6.7 million.

The Company's levels of criticized and classified loans are reported in the following table:

  • Amounts above include the government guaranteed portion, if any. For the calculation of ACL, the Company assigns internal risk ratings of Pass (Rating 2) for the government guaranteed portion.

** Criticized loans are defined as loans except for direct financing leases and equipment financing agreements with internally assigned risk ratings of 9, 10, or 11, regardless of performance.

*** Classified loans are defined as loans except for direct financing leases and equipment financing agreements with internally assigned risk ratings of 10 or 11, regardless of performance.

Criticized loans as a percentage of loans and leases decreased from 2.01% at March 31 2026 to 1.91% at June 30, 2026 primarily due to payoffs on two large loans, while classified loans as a percentage of loans and leases increased to 0.92% at June 30, 2026 from 0.87% at March 31, 2026 primarily due to the downgrade of one loan. The Company continues its strong focus on improving credit quality in an effort to limit NPLs.

The following table summarizes the trend in allowance as a percentage of gross loans/leases and as a percentage of NPLs:

not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision for credit losses. Asset quality remains a cornerstone of the Company’s strategy. Sustainable, profitable growth depends on maintaining that quality. The Company consistently directs focused efforts across its subsidiary banks and equipment financing company to strengthen and improve the overall loan/lease portfolio.

NPAs at June 30, 2026 were $39.5 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from March 31, 2026, and a decrease of $3.2 million from June 30, 2025. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.41% at June 30, 2026 and 0.45% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.46% at June 30, 2025.

The majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases. For nonaccrual loans/leases, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.

OREO and other repossessed assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The policy of the Company is to place a loan/lease on nonaccrual status if: (a) payment in full of interest or principal is not expected; or (b) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is both in the process of collection and well secured. A loan/lease is well secured if it is secured by collateral with sufficient market value to repay principal and all accrued interest. A debt is in the process of collection if collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to current status.

The Company's lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a top priority for management.

The Company actively participates in the ICS/CDARS program, a trusted resource that provides FDIC insurance coverage for clients that maintain larger deposit balances. Deposits in the ICS/CDARS program (which are included in interest-bearing deposits and time deposits in the preceding table) totaled $2.4 billion, or 31.7% of all deposits, as of June 30, 2026.

The Company’s correspondent bank deposit portfolio and funds managed consists of the following:

  • Noninterest-bearing deposits which represent correspondent banks’ operating cash used for processing transactions with the Federal Reserve,
  • Money market deposits which represent excess liquidity, and
  • EBA balances of the correspondent banks at the FRB.

The Company had total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits of $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management will continue to focus on growing its core deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits. With the significant success achieved by QCBT in growing its correspondent banking business, QCBT has developed procedures to proactively monitor this industry concentration of deposits and loans. Other deposit-related industry concentrations and large accounts are monitored by the internal asset liability management committees.

As a result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The subsidiary banks can utilize FHLB advances for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of changing interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.

The table below presents the Company's FHLB advances as of the periods indicated:

$268,609$25,609$245,383$225,383

The Company had an increase in overnight FHLB advances of $243.0 million from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to funding needs from strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2026 and managing down higher cost deposits.

It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize advances and/or brokered deposits to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.

The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average interest cost for the Company's combined wholesale funding portfolio (defined as FHLB advances and brokered deposits):

The Company renewed its revolving credit note in the second quarter of 2026. At renewal, the available amount under the line of credit remained at $60.0 million for which there was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026. Interest on the revolving line of credit is calculated at the greater of: (a) the effective Prime Rate less 0.50%, or (b) 3.00% per annum. The collateral on the revolving line of credit is 100% of the outstanding stock of each of the Company’s bank subsidiaries.

The Company had other borrowings totaling $99.4 million as of June 30, 2026. In August 2025, the Company pledged a portion of its HTM municipal securities in exchange for term borrowings through a repurchase agreement. The repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings as we maintain effective control of the financed assets.

As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, no preferred stock was outstanding.

On October 20, 2025, the board of directors of the Company approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as the Company deems appropriate, of up to 1,700,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 10% of the outstanding shares as of September 30, 2025. The new share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of its common stock, and other than repurchases that have been completed to date, there is no assurance that the Company will do so. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The number, timing and price of shares repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other factors, including opportunities to deploy the Company's capital. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the program’s expiration, without any prior notice.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customer credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid an over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $191.8 million and $250.5 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s on-balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio.

At June 30, 2026, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $929.8 million with upstream correspondent banks, of which $489.0 million was secured and $440.8 million was unsecured. At June 30, 2026, the Company had the full $929.8 million available under these lines of credit.

At December 31, 2025, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $930.7 million, of which $489.9 million was secured and $440.8 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2025, $930.7 million was available under these lines of credit.

The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of available lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company maintains a $60.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2027. At June 30, 2026, the full $60.0 million was available.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1.0 billion in actual correspondent banking deposits spread over 188 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

Investing activities used cash of $429.7 million during the first six months of 2026, compared to $220.1 million for the same period of 2025.

Net increases in deposits totaled $3.1 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to net increases in deposits of $257.2 million for the same period of 2025. During the first six months of 2026, the Company's short-term borrowings increased $6.3 million compared to a decrease in short-term borrowings of $450 thousand for the same period of 2025. Net increase in overnight advances totaled $23.0 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to net decrease of $60.0 million for the same period of 2025. Payments on other borrowings totaled $8.2 million for the first six months of 2026. There were no payments on other borrowings during the first six months of 2025. Repurchase and cancellation of shares in the first six months of 2026 totaled $34.3 million, as compared to no repurchase and cancellation of shares in the first six months of 2025.

Total cash provided by operating activities was $475.9 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $38.7 million for the same period of 2025.

Throughout its history, the Company has secured additional capital through various sources, including the issuance of common and preferred stock, as well as trust preferred securities and subordinated notes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

In an attempt to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank's interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.

Internal asset/liability management teams, consisting of members of the subsidiary banks’ management, meet bi-weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks' securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in an effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company's interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting the Company's asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company's interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, no balance sheet mix change, and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point upward and downward shifts; where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.

The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 100, 200 and 300 basis point upward and downward shifts. For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period.

Further, in recent years, the Company added additional interest rate scenarios where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift (a “shock”) upward and downward of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. The Company will run additional interest rate scenarios on an as-needed basis.

The asset/liability management committees of the subsidiary bank boards of directors have established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200-basis point upward and downward parallel shift. For the 300 basis point upward and downward shock, the established policy limit is a 30% decline in net interest income. The increased policy limit is appropriate as the shock scenario is extreme and unlikely and warrants a higher limit than the more realistic and traditional parallel/pro-rata shift scenarios.

Part I

Item 3

Application of the simulation model analysis for select interest rate scenarios at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table:

INTEREST RATE SCENARIONET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE IN YEAR 1POLICY LIMITNET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE IN YEAR 1As of June 30, 2026NET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE IN YEAR 1As of December 31, 2025
300 basis point downward parallel shock(30.0)%2.0%0.9%
200 basis point downward parallel shift(10.0)%0.6%0.5%
200 basis point upward parallel shift(10.0)%(1.0)%(0.6)%
300 basis point upward parallel shock(30.0)%(3.4)%(1.9)%

With the shift in funding from non-interest bearing and lower beta deposits to higher beta deposits, the Company’s balance sheet is now moderately liability sensitive. Notably, management is conservative with the repricing assumptions on loans and deposits. For example, management does not model any delay in loan and deposit betas despite historical experience and practice of delays in deposit betas. Additionally, management does not model mix shift or growth in its standard scenarios which can be impactful. As an alternative, management runs separate scenarios to capture the impact on delayed beta performance and various shifts in mix of loans and deposits. Finally, management models a variety of scenarios including some that stress key assumptions to help capture and isolate the impact of the management’s more conservative approach to the assumptions in the base model.

The simulation is within the board-established policy limits for all four scenarios. Additionally, for all of the various interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management (as described above), the results at June 30, 2026 were within established risk tolerances as established by policy or by best practice (if the interest rate scenario didn't have a specific policy limit).

Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company's interest rate risk exposure. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.
