GENERAL

First US Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), is a bank holding company formed in 1983 registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancshares operates one wholly owned banking subsidiary, First US Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (the “Bank”). Bancshares and the Bank are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Bank conducts a general commercial banking business and offers banking services such as demand, savings, individual retirement account and time deposits, personal and commercial loans, safe deposit box services and remote deposit capture. The Bank operates and serves its customers through 16 full-service banking offices located in Birmingham, Butler, Calera, Centreville, Daphne, Gilbertown, Grove Hill, Harpersville, Jackson, Thomasville, Tuscaloosa and Woodstock, Alabama; Knoxville and Powell, Tennessee; and Rose Hill, Virginia; as well as loan production offices in Mobile, Alabama and the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. The Bank provides a wide range of commercial banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. The Bank also performs indirect lending through third-party retailers and currently conducts this lending in 17 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Bank is the Company’s only reportable operating segment upon which management makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Company's 2025 Form 10-K").

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and the notes to the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or net cash flow.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Certain significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding ("basic shares"). Included in basic shares are stock equivalent shares that have been accrued as of the balance sheet date as deferred compensation for members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors under the Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (as defined below and discussed further in Note 9). Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period ("dilutive shares"). The dilutive shares consist of unexercised nonqualified stock options granted to employees and members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors pursuant to the Company's Incentive Plan (as defined below and discussed further in Note 10).

10

The following table reflects the weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income, as well as unrealized holding gains and losses that arise during the period associated with the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio and the effective portion of cash flow hedge derivatives. In the calculation of comprehensive income, reclassification adjustments are made for gains or losses realized in the statement of operations associated with the sale of available-for-sale securities or settlement of derivative contracts.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

The following table provides a description of accounting standards recently adopted as of June 30, 2026.

Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or other significant matters

ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements This ASU amends certain hedge accounting guidance to improve operability and better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments include revisions to the similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, which may allow entities to broaden the scope of forecasted transactions designated in a hedge relationship, and clarify certain documentation and application requirements. Quarterly financial statements as of and for the quarter ending March 31, 2026. Annual financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.

ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans This ASU expands the use of the gross‑up method to certain acquired non‑purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans classified as purchased seasoned loans. The amendment eliminates Day 1 credit loss expense for these loans by requiring recognition of an initial allowance with a corresponding gross‑up of amortized cost. It also clarifies the criteria for identifying purchased seasoned loans, including special treatment for loans acquired in a business combination. Guidance for PCD assets remains unchanged, and the amendments narrow subsequent measurement differences between purchased seasoned loans and PCD assets. The ASU is applied prospectively. Quarterly financial statements as of and for the quarter ending March 31, 2027. Annual financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The following table provides a description of recent accounting standards that have not yet been adopted as of June 30, 2026.

Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or other significant matters

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses This ASU will change the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (for example: employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in expense captions. Annual financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2027. The adoption of this guidance is not likely to have a material impact. Management will continue to evaluate through date of adoption.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Details of investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

12

The scheduled maturities of investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity as of June 30, 2026 are presented in the following table:

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities generally mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

The following tables reflect fair value and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

13

Available-for-Sale Credit Considerations

For any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position as of the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more-likely-than-not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income.

As of June 30, 2026, 77 available-for-sale debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and 21 available-for-sale debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, 82 available-for-sale debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and five available-for-sale debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the current intent and ability to retain its investments for a period of time that management believes to be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the losses for all available-for-sale securities were considered to be a direct result of the effect that the prevailing interest rate environment had on the value of debt securities and were not related to the creditworthiness of the issuers. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was considered necessary related to available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses for available-for-sale securities. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable totaled $0.8 million with no related ACL and was reported in the accrued interest line on the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Held-to-Maturity Credit Considerations

Each quarter, management evaluates the held-to-maturity investment portfolio on a collective basis by major security type to determine whether an ACL is needed. Qualitative factors are used in the Company’s credit loss assessments, including current and forecasted economic conditions, the characteristics of the debt issuer, and the historic ability of the issuer to make contractual principal and interest payments. Specifically, with regard to mortgage-backed securities or obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies thereof, it is expected that the securities will not be settled at prices less than the amortized cost bases of the securities as such securities are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or the agency. With regard to obligations of states and political subdivisions, management considers issuer bond ratings, historical loss rates for given bond ratings, and whether the issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under contractual terms of the securities. Based on these evaluations, no ACL was recorded by the Company for the held-to-maturity investment portfolio as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable totaled $1.2 thousand and $1.4 thousand, respectively, with no related ACL and was reported in the accrued interest line on the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14

Pledged Securities

Investment securities with a carrying value of $58.4 million and $58.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

LOANS AND LEASES

Portfolio Segments

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into the following portfolio segments based on risk characteristics:

Construction, land development and other land loans – Commercial construction, land and land development loans include loans for the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property, loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land and loans primarily for agricultural production that are secured by farmland. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Secured by 1-4 family residential properties – These loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home or investment property. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home.

Secured by multi-family residential properties – This portfolio segment includes mortgage loans secured by apartment buildings.

Secured by non-residential commercial real estate – This portfolio segment includes real estate loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers or other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Commercial and industrial loans and leases – This portfolio segment includes loans and leases to commercial customers for use in the normal course of business. These credits may be loans, lines of credit and leases to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment or receivables, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Direct consumer – This portfolio segment includes a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including automobile loans, loans for household and personal purposes and all other direct consumer installment loans.

Indirect consumer – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral purchased by consumers at retail stores with whom the Company has an established relationship to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met. The collateral securing these loans primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles/campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the composition of the loan portfolio by portfolio segment was as follows:

(1)

Includes equipment financing leases, which totaled $11.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and $12.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

(2)

Loans are presented net of unearned income and unamortized deferred fees and costs of $0.4 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Loans are also presented net of unamortized premiums associated with indirect loans of $17.0 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable is not included in the amortized cost basis of the Company's loans held for investment ("LHFI"). As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable for LHFI totaled $3.1 million with no related ACL and was reported in the accrued interest line on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

15

The Company makes commercial, real estate and installment loans to its customers. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, 47.1% and 49.0% of the portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Loans with a carrying value of $81.8 million and $84.4 million were pledged as collateral to secure Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In addition, loans with a carrying value of $374.8 million and $361.6 million were pledged to secure borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Related Party Loans

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers and directors of the Company, including companies with which they are associated. These loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. Management believes that such loans do not represent more than a normal risk of collectability, nor do they present other unfavorable features. The aggregate balances of such related party loans and commitments were $17.6 million and $22.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, new loans of $0.2 million were made to related parties, and repayments of $5.5 million made by related parties. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were new loans of $11.5 million to related parties, and no repayments made by related parties.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases

The Company records the ACL on loans and leases as a contra-asset valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans and leases held for investment. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Recoveries of previously charged off loans are also recorded to the ACL when collected. As of each quarter-end date, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the ACL on loans and leases and adjusts the ACL through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.

Determining the appropriateness of the ACL on loans and leases is complex and requires judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The level of the ACL is influenced by loan and lease volumes and mix, historical credit loss experience, estimated remaining life of portfolio segments, asset quality characteristics, delinquency status, and other conditions including reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions and qualitative adjustment factors based on management’s understanding of various attributes that could impact life-of-loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The methodology to estimate losses includes two basic components: (1) an asset-specific component for individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated on an individual basis. The process for determining whether a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis begins with a determination of credit rating. All loans graded by management as substandard or worse with a total commitment of $0.5 million or more are evaluated on an individual basis. At management's discretion, other loans may be evaluated, including loans less than $0.5 million, if management determines that the loans exhibit unique risk characteristics. For loans individually evaluated, the ACL is based primarily on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less any estimated costs to sell, as applicable, utilizing independent third-party appraisals, and assessment of borrower guarantees. The fair value is compared to the amortized cost basis of the loan to determine if an ACL should be recognized.

For estimating the component of the ACL that shares similar risk characteristics, loans are segregated into pooled loan categories that share risk characteristics. Loans are designated into pooled categories based on product types, business lines, collateral, and other risk characteristics. For all pooled loan categories, the Company uses a loss-rate methodology to calculate estimated life-of-loan and lease credit losses. This methodology focuses on historical credit loss rates applied over the estimated weighted average remaining life of each loan pool, adjusted by qualitative factors, to estimate life-of-loan losses for each pool. The qualitative factors utilized include, among others, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic data, including inflation, unemployment levels, and interest rates.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Lending Commitments

The Company records an ACL on unfunded lending commitments in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Unconditional lending commitments generally include unfunded term loan agreements, home equity lines of credit, lines of credit, and demand deposit account overdraft protection.

As of each quarter-end date, the Company estimates expected credit losses on unfunded lending commitments over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on unfunded lending commitments is recorded in other liabilities, and adjustments to the ACL are recorded through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.

16

Summary of Allowances for Credit Losses

The following tables present changes in the ACL on loans and leases, as well as unfunded lending commitments, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

17

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company utilizes a credit grading system that provides a uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio. Under this system, construction, land, multi-family real estate, other commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans are graded based on pre-determined risk metrics and categorized into one of nine risk grades. These risk grades can be summarized into categories described as pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as described in further detail below.

• Pass (Risk Grades 1-5): Loans in this category include obligations in which the probability of default is considered low.
• Special Mention (Risk Grade 6): Loans in this category exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than pass-rated categories, its default is not imminent.
• Substandard (Risk Grade 7): Loans in this category have defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard.
• Doubtful (Risk Grade 8): Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses found in substandard loans, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable or improbable. Serious problems exist such that partial loss of principal is likely; however, because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Such pending factors may include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfection of liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. Loans classified as doubtful may include loans to borrowers that have demonstrated a history of failing to live up to agreements.
• Loss (Risk Grade 9): Loans are classified in this category when borrowers are deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not prudent to defer writing off these assets, even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

Because residential real estate and consumer loans are more uniform in nature, each loan is categorized into one of two risk grades, depending on whether the loan is considered to be performing or nonperforming. Performing loans are loans that are paying principal and interest in accordance with a contractual agreement. Nonperforming loans are loans that have demonstrated characteristics that indicate a probability of loss.

23

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which loans are individually evaluated to determine credit losses:

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

From time to time, the Company may modify the terms of loan agreements with borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulties. Modification of the terms of such loans typically include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and there were no payment defaults on loans that were modified in the previous twelve months.

24

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED AND REPOSSESSED ASSETS

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate and certain other assets acquired in foreclosure are reported at the net realizable value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The following table summarizes foreclosed property activity as of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(1)

Additions to other real estate owned (“OREO”) may include transfers from loans, transfers from closed branches, and capitalized improvements to existing OREO properties.

Valuation adjustments are recorded in other non-interest expense and are primarily post-foreclosure write-downs that are a result of continued declining property values based on updated appraisals or other indications of value, such as offers to purchase. Net realizable value less estimated costs to sell of foreclosed residential real estate held by the Company was zero as of both June 30, 2026 and 2025. In addition, the Company held $0.4 million in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of June 30, 2026. The Company did not hold any consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of June 30, 2025.

Repossessed Assets

The Company also acquires assets through the repossession of the underlying collateral of loans in default. As of both June 30, 2026 and 2025, total repossessed assets were $0.5 million. Repossessed assets are included in other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill totaled $7.4 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more often if circumstances warrant. If, as a result of impairment testing, it is determined that the fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill must be written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill impairment was neither indicated nor recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company had no other intangible assets as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. During 2025, the Company completed the amortization of previously recognized core deposit premiums. Core deposit premiums were amortized over a seven-year period and were periodically evaluated, at least annually, as to the recoverability of their carrying value. No write-downs of core deposit premiums were recorded by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2025.

BORROWINGS

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and short-term FHLB advances with original maturities of one year or less.

• Federal funds purchased, which represent unsecured lines of credit that generally mature within one to 90 days, are available to the Bank through arrangements with correspondent banks and the FRB. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank had $5.0 million and zero, respectively, in outstanding federal funds purchased.

25

• Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Bank monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. There were no securities sold under repurchase agreements as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
• Short-term FHLB advances are secured borrowings available to the Bank as an alternative funding source. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank had $20.0 million and zero, respectively, in outstanding FHLB advances with original maturities of less than one year.

Long-Term Borrowings

FHLB Advances

The Company may use FHLB advances with original maturities of more than one year as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than one year are classified as long-term. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any long-term FHLB advances outstanding.

Subordinated Debt

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that will mature on October 1, 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum for the first five years, after which the interest rate will be reset quarterly to a benchmark interest rate per annum which, subject to certain conditions provided in the Notes, will be equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 275 basis points. The Company used the net proceeds of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which included repurchasing of the Company’s common stock, and supporting organic growth plans, including the maintenance of the Bank's capital ratios. Net of unamortized debt issuance costs, the Notes were recorded as long-term borrowings totaling $11.0 million and $10.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The table below provides additional information related to the Notes as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Available Credit

As an additional funding source, the Company has available unused lines of credit with correspondent banks, the FRB and the FHLB. Certain of these funding sources are subject to underlying collateral. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s available unused lines of credit consisted of the following:

(1)

These amounts represent the total remaining credit the Company has from the FHLB, but this credit can only be utilized to the extent that underlying collateral exists. The total lendable collateral value of assets pledged (including loans and investment securities) associated with FHLB advances and letters of credit totaled $49.7 million and $50.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s collateral exposure with the FHLB in the form of advances and letters of credit was $40.0 million and $20.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, leaving an excess of collateral of $9.7 million and $30.5 million available to utilize for additional credit as of the respective dates. The Company also has the ability to pledge additional assets to increase the availability of borrowings.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% and 22.6%, respectively, for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences, such as those associated with bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $2.9 million and $2.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The net deferred tax asset, which is included on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets in other assets, is impacted by changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale and cash flow hedges, changes in net operating loss carryforwards, changes in the allowance for credit losses, and other book-to-tax temporary differences.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Supplemental Retirement Benefits

The Company has entered into supplemental retirement compensation benefits agreements with certain non-employee directors and former executive officers. These agreements are structured as nonqualified retirement plans for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s obligation under these agreements is accrued as deferred compensation in accordance with the terms of the individual contracts over the required service period to the date the employee is eligible to receive benefits. The Company’s deferred compensation obligation under these agreements totaled $2.2 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan

Non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or any portion of their director fees under Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash and/or shares of Bancshares’ common stock, as applicable. Neither Bancshares nor the Bank makes any contribution to participants’ accounts under the Deferral Plan. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of 80,022 and 76,817 shares of Bancshares common stock, respectively, were being held as stock equivalents in connection with the Deferral Plan. All deferred fees and shares of Bancshares common stock are reflected as compensation expense in the period earned. The Company classifies all deferred directors’ fees allocated to be paid in shares as equity as additional paid-in capital. The Company may use issued shares or shares of treasury stock to satisfy these obligations when due.

STOCK AWARDS

In 2013, Bancshares’ shareholders authorized the Company to provide share-based compensation awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. Available award types included stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and performance share awards. The 2013 Incentive Plan, as amended in 2019, expired in March 2023. In April 2023, Bancshares’ shareholders approved the 2023 Incentive Plan, which authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant substantially the same types of share-based awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants. Collectively, the 2013 Incentive Plan and the 2023 Incentive Plan are herein referred to as the Company’s “Incentive Plan.” In accordance with the Incentive Plan, shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the grants may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. Since the origination of the Incentive Plan, through June 30, 2026, only stock options and restricted stock have been granted. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

27

Stock Options

Stock options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and have vesting periods ranging from one to three years, with 10-year contractual terms. The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. The fair value of outstanding awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the periods presented.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding (calculated as the amount by which the market value of underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) was $0.6 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Restricted Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 53,553 shares and 58,924 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were granted. Restricted stock awards granted to employees have a three-year vesting period, while awards granted to non-employee directors have a one-year vesting period. The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for restricted stock awards based on the grant date closing price of the stock, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period.

The following table summarizes the Company's restricted stock award activity for the periods presented.

LEASES

The Company is involved in a number of operating leases, primarily for branch locations. Branch leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to nine years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include an option to terminate the lease within one year. The Company also leases certain office facilities to third parties and classifies these leases as operating leases.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposures to business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks,

29

including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amounts, sources, and duration of assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate derivative instruments to minimize unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy generally involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to mitigate negative impacts on net interest margin and/or cash flow. Interest rate derivative instruments utilized by the Company generally include interest rate swap contracts or option contracts, such as caps and floors. The fair values of derivative instruments are carried in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes and generally enters into transactions that have a qualifying hedge relationship. When hedge accounting is used, derivatives are classified as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges in order to mitigate economic risks or risks associated with volatility in connection with customer derivative transactions. The Company’s existing credit derivatives are associated with loan participation arrangements, and are not used by the Company to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities.

Like other financial instruments, derivatives contain an element of credit risk. This risk is measured as the expected replacement value of the contracts. Management enters into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that provide for the net settlement of all contracts with the same counterparty. Additionally, management monitors counterparty credit risk exposure on each contract to determine appropriate limits on the Company's total credit exposure across all product types.

Cash Flow Hedges

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company purchased two interest rate cap contracts with the objective of protecting the Company against variability in expected future cash flows attributed to changes in the designated interest rate (USD-SOFR-OIS Compound) on an aggregate notional amount of $80.0 million related to interest expense on 3-month fixed rate liabilities that will be renewed each quarter. Each contract has a notional amount of $40.0 million and was designated as a derivative instrument in cash flow hedges and is intended to mitigate the Company’s risk of loss associated with upward shifts in the designated interest rate. The contracts provide cash flow to the Company in the event the designated interest rate exceeds the respective strike rates of 3.45% and 3.60% during the contract periods of December 5, 2025 through December 5, 2028 and December 19, 2025 through December 19, 2029, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the hedge relationships for both interest rate cap contracts were designated effective, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contracts were included as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income.

In March 2025, the Company purchased an interest rate floor contract with the objective of protecting the Company against variability in expected future cash flows attributed to changes in the designated interest rate (1 Month CME Term SOFR) on the notional amount of $20.0 million based on interest receipts on loans and securities indexed to the designated interest rate. The contract was designated as a derivative instrument in cash flow hedges and is intended to mitigate the Company’s risk of loss associated with downward shifts in the designated interest rate. The contract will provide cash flow to the Company in the event the designated interest rate decreases below 3.05% before the contract’s designated termination date of March 15, 2029. As of June 30, 2026, the hedge relationship for the floor contract was designated effective, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contract were included as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Derivative Contracts Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment

Customer-Related Interest Rate Swaps – The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts with certain loan customers. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $11.6 million. The swaps are intended to assist those borrowers in managing interest rate risk. To mitigate the Company’s exposure arising from these customer-related derivatives, the Company enters into corresponding offsetting interest rate swap contracts with third-party counterparties on matching notional amounts. The customer-related derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded as non-interest income or expense. These contracts are intended to economically offset the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates arising from the customer-related derivative activity.

Credit Derivatives - During 2024, the Company entered into three credit risk participation agreements on the notional amount of $23.3 million in the aggregate. These agreements are with lead participant banks with which the Company shares participation loans. The Company is the guarantor under these agreements to provide reimbursement of losses resulting from a third-party default on the underlying swap. For participating in the agreements, the Company received one-time fees which were initially included in other liabilities. The derivatives are not eligible for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, valuation changes are recorded directly to non-interest income.

Previously Terminated Hedges

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company voluntarily terminated two forward starting interest rate swap contracts for a nominal settlement amount. Each of the contracts had a $20.0 million notional amount, or $40.0 million in the aggregate. The swaps were previously designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of the terminations, the related hedge relationships were discontinued, and the amounts previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified into earnings.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company voluntarily terminated three interest rate swap contracts, each with notional amounts of $10.0 million, or an aggregate amount of $30.0 million. Each of the swaps had previously been designated as fair value hedges with the objective of effectively converting a pool of fixed rate indirect consumer loans to a variable rate throughout the hedge durations in accordance with the portfolio layer method. The termination of the fair value hedges resulted in a nominal settlement with the counterparty.

30

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company voluntarily terminated two interest rate swap contracts, each with notional amounts of $10.0 million, or an aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The swaps were previously designated as cash flow hedges. The termination resulted in a net unrealized gain totaling $1.1 million. The unrealized gain was initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and is being reclassified to reduce interest expense over the original terms of the swap contracts. Remaining unrealized gains associated with these terminated cash flow hedges totaled $16 thousand and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Presentation

GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and others, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the financial statements. A summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities is presented below:

Standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount that it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit or standby performance letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the lives of the standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the potential amounts of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under its standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit, which represent the Bank’s total credit risk in these categories, are included in the table above.

32

A commitment to extend credit is an agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

At each quarter end date, the Company calculates an allowance for unfunded lending commitments, including those described in the table above. The Company's allowance for unfunded commitments totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Additional discussion related to the calculation of the allowance for unfunded commitments is included in Note 4, "Loans and Leases."

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of employee health benefits. However, the Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit the Company’s individual claim and total exposure related to self-insurance. The Company estimates a liability for the ultimate costs to settle known claims, as well as claims incurred but not yet reported, as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s recorded estimated liability for self-insurance is based on the insurance companies' incurred loss estimates and management’s judgment, including assumptions and evaluation of factors related to the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims development history and the Company’s claims settlement practices. The assessment of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of self-insurance accruals. Self-insurance accruals totaled $0.2 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The ultimate settlement of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves may differ significantly from amounts accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation

The Company is party to certain ordinary course litigation, and intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

33

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows a uniform framework for estimating and classifying the fair value of financial instruments. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. The following disclosures should not be considered a representation of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather represent a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

• Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
• Level 3 — Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The Company rarely transfers assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Trading account assets and securities available-for-sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the best method of pricing for an individual security. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occurred at the beginning of a reporting period. There were no such transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities. Level 2 securities include government sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. Level 2 fair values are obtained from quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. In certain cases, where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Derivative Agreements

Derivative agreements include those used by the Company to mitigate risk associated with changes in interest rates, as well as credit derivatives associated with risk participation agreements in certain loans. The fair value of these agreements is based on information obtained from third-party financial institutions. This information is periodically evaluated by the Company and, as necessary, corroborated against other third-party valuations. The Company classifies these derivative assets within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

34

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at net fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-recurring Basis

Collateral Dependent Loans

Loans are considered collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These loans are evaluated separately in accordance with the Company’s policies for calculating the ACL on loans and leases. The fair value of collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the ACL on loans and leases is typically based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation

35

approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Appraised values are discounted by management for estimated costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s knowledge of the collateral, changes in market conditions since the most recent appraisal and/or management’s knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge of the borrower’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted accordingly.

OREO and Other Assets Held-for-Sale

OREO and other assets held-for-sale consist of collateral obtained through foreclosure or repossession and are recorded at net realizable value, less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the collateral and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the collateral and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, included within OREO and other assets held-for-sale were certain assets that were formerly included as premises and equipment but have been removed from service, and as of the balance sheet date, were designated as assets to be disposed of by sale. These include assets associated with branches of the Company that have been closed. When an asset is designated as held-for-sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset, and the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically unobservable inputs for determining fair value.

The following table presents the balances of collateral dependent loans and OREO and other assets held-for-sale measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

36

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following tables present information regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The tables include the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each unobservable input and the weighted average within the range utilized as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are both included. Following the table is a description of the valuation technique and the sensitivity of the technique to changes in the significant unobservable input.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Collateral dependent loans are valued based on multiple data points indicating the fair value for each loan. The primary data point is the appraisal value of the underlying collateral, to which a discount is applied. Management establishes this discount or comparability adjustment

37

based on recent sales of similar property types. As liquidity in the market increases or decreases, the comparability adjustment and the resulting asset valuation are impacted.

OREO

OREO under a binding contract for sale is valued based on contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the consolidated balance sheet.

Other Assets Held-for-Sale

Assets designated as held-for-sale that are under a binding contract are valued based on the contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements: Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements all contain maturities of 30 days or less, and therefore, their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Based on the redemption provision of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Investment securities: Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on market prices of comparable instruments.

Derivative instruments: The fair value of derivative instruments is based on information obtained from a third-party financial institution. This information is periodically evaluated by the Company and, as necessary, corroborated against other third-party information.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Loans, net: The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flow, prepayment discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premiums.

Demand and savings deposits: The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts.

Time deposits: The fair values of relatively short-term time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Discounted cash flows are used to value long-term time deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term.

Short-term borrowings: These borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the floating rate borrowings from the FHLB account. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, fair values approximate carrying values.

Long-term debt: The fair value of this debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the determination date.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on fees currently charged to enter into such agreements.

38

The estimated net fair value and related carrying or notional amounts, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

SEGMENT REPORTING

Bancshares is a bank holding company. Bancshares operates one banking subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank reporting unit is the only reportable segment of the Company. The Bank conducts a general commercial banking business and offers banking services such as demand, savings, individual retirement account and time deposits, personal and commercial loans, safe deposit box services and remote deposit capture. The Bank provides a wide range of commercial banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. The Bank also performs indirect lending through third-party retailers and currently conducts this lending in 17 states. Other than this indirect lending program, the Bank derives its revenue primarily in the southeast United States. The Bank does not have any customers that produce revenues of 10% or more.

39

The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM") consist of a group of senior executive officers of Bancshares and the Bank that includes the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief retail, operations and technology officer, the chief risk officer, the chief commercial lending officer, and the chief consumer lending officer.

The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the Bank segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.

The accounting policies of the Bank segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the Bank segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment net income that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

The table below provides information related to the Company's Bank operating segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(1) Other segment items includes advertising expense, travel and business development expense, and life insurance expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

First US Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiary, the “Company”), is a bank holding company formed in 1983 registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancshares operates one wholly owned banking subsidiary, First US Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (the “Bank”). Bancshares and the Bank are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Bank conducts a general commercial banking business and offers banking services such as demand, savings, individual retirement account and time deposits, personal and commercial loans, safe deposit box services and remote deposit capture. The Bank operates and serves its customers through 16 full-service banking offices located in Birmingham, Butler, Calera, Centreville, Daphne, Gilbertown, Grove Hill, Harpersville, Jackson, Thomasville, Tuscaloosa and Woodstock, Alabama; Knoxville and Powell, Tennessee; and Rose Hill, Virginia; as well as loan production offices in Mobile, Alabama and the Chattanooga, Tennessee area.

Delivery of the best possible financial services to customers remains an overall operational focus of the Company. The Company recognizes that attention to detail and responsiveness to customers’ desires are critical to customer satisfaction. The Company continues to upgrade technology, both in its financial services and in the training of its 152 full-time equivalent employees (as of June 30, 2026), to ensure customer satisfaction and convenience.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments associated with critical accounting estimates. These estimates are necessary to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and general banking practices. A description of the Company's critical accounting estimates, which significantly affect the determination of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, is set forth in Part II, Item 7 - Critical Accounting Estimates in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K.

The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2025, while comparing income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are recorded and presented on the accrual basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis, unless otherwise indicated.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K. As used in the following discussion, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Bancshares and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

RECENT MARKET CONDITIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the banking industry continued to operate in an environment characterized by elevated economic uncertainty, inflation remaining above the Federal Reserve’s long-term objective, and generally stable labor market conditions. U.S. economic activity continued to expand during the first half of 2026. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ advance estimate released on July 30, 2026, real gross domestic product ("GDP") increased at an annual rate of 1.5% during the second quarter of 2026, compared with 2.1% during the first quarter of 2026. This modest second-quarter growth reflected increases in consumer spending, investments and exports that were partially offset by decreased government spending.

Market interest rates, including U.S. Treasury yields, remained volatile and generally increased during the first six months of 2026, with increases accelerating following the inception of the military conflict with Iran in February 2026. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury increased from approximately 4.18% at December 31, 2025 to approximately 4.44% at June 30, 2026, after reaching higher levels during May. This increase in longer-term rates reflected resilient economic data, despite elevated inflation expectations, supply disruptions resulting from the conflict in the Middle East, tariff-related price pressures, and changing market expectations regarding the timing and direction of future monetary policy actions. Kevin Warsh assumed the role of chairman of the Federal Reserve and Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee (the "FOMC") in May 2026. In this role, Chairman Warsh has created five task forces to reexamine all aspects of monetary policy decision making, including the nature and level of communication by the FOMC, management of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, data used by the FOMC, productivity and the job market, and inflation. The timing, magnitude and effects of any changes in the policies or priorities of the Federal Reserve or the FOMC cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. At both its June and July 2026 meetings, the Federal Reserve maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% and continued to indicate that inflation remained elevated relative to its long-term objective.

41

Uncertainty also remained elevated with respect to U.S. fiscal and trade policy, including the current and potential effects of tariffs implemented or announced by the Trump administration and the possibility of additional policy changes. Tariffs, higher energy costs, and other supply-related pressures may affect inflation, consumer demand, business investment, and global supply chains. Geopolitical risks, including the conflict involving Iran, continued unrest elsewhere in the Middle East, and the ongoing war in Ukraine, also contributed to broader global economic uncertainty. These factors may continue to affect business sentiment, commodity and energy markets, supply chains, financial markets, and overall economic activity.

In the Company’s local markets, competitive pressures for both loans and deposits remained elevated during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Commercial lending activity remained measured as business customers continued to assess the effects of elevated borrowing costs, interest rate movements, geopolitical developments, trade policy, and broader economic uncertainty on their operations and investment decisions. Consumer spending trends remained mixed on a macroeconomic basis; however, the Company continued to experience growth in consumer indirect lending, primarily within higher-credit-quality segments.

The competitive environment, together with elevated funding costs and ongoing economic, geopolitical, trade, and policy uncertainty, continues to present challenges to maintaining and improving the Company’s net interest margin. Management continues to closely monitor these conditions and believes the Company remains well positioned to respond to a range of economic outcomes. However, adverse changes in economic conditions, credit quality, loan demand, competitive dynamics, deposit pricing, geopolitical developments, trade or fiscal policy, or interest rate movements could negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company earned net income of $1.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income totaled $3.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income comparing both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 to the corresponding periods of 2025 resulted primarily from a decrease in the Company’s provision for credit losses on loans and leases, and to a lesser extent, realized gains on the sale of investment securities recorded during the 2026 periods. These increases in net income were partially offset by increases in non-interest expense comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Summarized condensed consolidated statements of operations are included below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The discussion that follows summarizes the most significant activity that drove changes in the Company’s operating results during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income increased by $0.3 million, or 1.9%, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase resulted from growth in average interest-earning asset balances comparing the two periods. Average interest-earning assets increased by $48.2 million, or 4.6%, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the corresponding period of 2025. Earning asset growth was reflected in total loans, investment securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions. The increase in interest income was partially offset by volume-related increases in interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities. While the

42

increase in earning assets was favorable to the Company’s net interest income, net interest margin decreased as the average yield on interest-earnings assets declined at a faster pace than the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin was 3.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million, compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decreased provision comparing the first half of 2026 to the corresponding period of 2025 resulted primarily from provisioning for specifically identified commercial loans in 2025. The credit issues associated with additional provisioning on these loans were resolved later in 2025, and accordingly, the same level of provisioning was not repeated during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans was 1.26%, compared to 1.25% as of December 31, 2025.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from $0.5 million in gains on sale of investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that did not occur during the corresponding period of 2025.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increased expense resulted primarily from inflationary increases in various expense categories, as well as increased occupancy expenses associated with expansion of the Company’s banking center footprint.

Total Assets

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s assets totaled $1,147.6 million, compared to $1,154.8 million as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of 0.6%.

Loans

Total loans increased by $7.6 million, or 0.9%, as of June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. Loan growth in the construction and consumer indirect categories was partially offset by decreases in other categories, most notably in non-residential commercial real estate. The decrease in commercial real estate loans resulted primarily from the payoff of real estate projects that were anticipated in the normal course of the project life cycle. The growth in the construction category was consistent with economic growth in the Company’s service territories, while the growth in the indirect category was consistent with typical seasonal trends. The indirect lending platform focuses on consumer lending at the higher end of the credit spectrum. Collateral financed in the indirect portfolio primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles, campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers. The weighted average credit score of indirect loans funded was 785 as of June 30, 2026.

The Company remains focused on efforts in multiple commercial and consumer loan categories, seeking to enhance diversification while growing the portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, average total loan balances increased by $11.3 million, or 1.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets, including loans in non-accrual status, other real estate owned, and repossessed assets, totaled $1.9 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase from $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets increased to 0.17% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 0.14% as of December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans totaled 0.27% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 0.47% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net charge-offs comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026, to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to the partial charge off in the six months ended June 30, 2025 of one individually evaluated commercial loan totaling $1.2 million that was not repeated in the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $30.0 million, or 2.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Included in this decrease were $20.1 million in wholesale brokered time deposits that matured and were not replaced. The remaining decrease was comprised of reductions of $19.2 million in retail time deposits and $4.0 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $13.3 million. The decrease in wholesale deposits, as well as other interest-bearing time deposits, assisted management’s efforts to reduce overall deposit costs, while maintaining an appropriate level of core funding. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or

43

more and all wholesale brokered deposits, totaled $835.2 million, or 83.7% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $838.3 million, or 81.6% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025. The average rate on deposits totaled 2.08% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.07% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. While deposit costs increased slightly comparing the two six-month periods, the more recent trend in 2026 was favorable. Deposit costs decreased to 1.98% during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.18% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2.08% during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

In the current environment, significant competitive pressure remains to acquire and maintain deposit balances. The Company remains focused on efforts to grow deposits while maintaining pricing discipline. Part of this strategy includes growth in deposit gathering banking centers. Consistent with these efforts, in May 2026, the Company opened a new banking center office in Daphne, Alabama to the public. This location represents the Bank’s initial deposit gathering facility in the Daphne/Mobile area. In addition, in April 2026, the Company purchased an office in Orange Beach, Alabama, which is expected to serve as a banking center following the completion of renovations. The location is expected to open to the public in 2027.

Cash and Investment Securities

As of June 30, 2026, the Company held cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements totaling $63.8 million, or 5.6% of total assets, compared to $78.4 million, or 6.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. Investment securities, including both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios, totaled $166.0 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $168.5 million as of December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company purchased $25.4 million of investment securities at market rates in existence at the time of purchase. In addition, the Company sold investment securities with a principal balance totaling $7.1 million and recorded a gain on sale totaling $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. These purchases and sales, combined with the maturity and paydown of investment securities at lower rates, have led to continued improvement in yield on the portfolio. The average yield on investment securities, including both available-for-sale and held to maturity securities, totaled 3.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.6 years, compared to 3.7 years as of December 31, 2025.

Shareholders’ Equity

As of June 30, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $104.3 million, or 9.09% of total assets, compared to $105.6 million, or 9.15% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. While earnings, net of dividends paid, increased shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase was fully offset by share repurchases, combined with an increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the increasing interest rate environment and the sale of investment securities in gain positions during the period.

Cash Dividends

During both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.14 per share on its common stock.

Share Repurchases

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed the repurchase of 237,500 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.33 per share. The repurchases were completed under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program, which was most recently expanded during the fourth quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, 1,547,313 shares remained available for repurchase under the program.

Regulatory Capital

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable banking regulations. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 10.85%. Its total capital ratio was 12.02%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.16%.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, the Company continued to maintain funding capacity sufficient to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong core deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines with other banking institutions, FHLB advances, the FRB's discount window, and brokered deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is calculated as the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net interest income. The Company’s earning assets consist of loans, investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, federal funds sold by the Bank, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and interest-bearing deposits in banks. Interest-bearing liabilities consist of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and time deposits, as well as short- and long-term borrowings.

The following tables show the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, the tables provide an analysis of interest revenue or expense associated with each category, along with the accompanying yield or rate percentage. Net interest margin is calculated for each period presented as net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

(1) For the purpose of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in the average loan amounts outstanding. These loans averaged $1.4 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(2) Loan fees are included in interest amounts presented. Loan fees totaled $0.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

(2) Loan fees are included in interest amounts presented. Loan fees totaled $0.4 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

47

The following tables summarize the impact of variances in volume and rate of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on components of net interest income.

(Dollars in Thousands)

Interest income increased by $0.7 million, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income resulted from a $1.1 million increase attributable to growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease attributable to lower average yields on interest-earning assets. With the exception of investment securities, yields in all earning asset categories declined comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the six months ended June 30, 2025, as short-term interest rates generally declined comparing the two periods.

Interest expense increased by $0.4 million, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in volume associated with money market accounts, and to a lesser extent, increased rates on both money market and time deposits. These increases were partially offset by reductions in average balances of time deposits and borrowings, as well as rates associated with demand deposits, time deposits and borrowings.

The Company’s net interest income and net interest margin during the six months ended June 30, 2026 continued to be impacted by variability in the interest rate environment. Notably, between September and December 2025, the federal funds rate was reduced by 75 basis points, and generally, the Company’s interest-earning assets repriced downward more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, reducing the Company’s net interest margin to 3.46% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.56% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. While management is continuing efforts to improve net interest margin, the results of these efforts cannot be fully predicted. Should market interest rates increase or decrease at significant levels, particularly over a short period of time, the Company’s net interest margin and net interest income could be negatively impacted.

48

Provision for Credit Losses

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million, compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decreased provision comparing the first six months of 2026 to the corresponding period of 2025 resulted primarily from provisioning for specifically identified commercial loans in 2025. The credit issues associated with additional provisioning on these loans were resolved later in 2025 and, accordingly, the same level of provisioning was not repeated during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net charge-offs totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases was 1.26%, compared to 1.25% as of December 31, 2025. Comparing June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2025, the ACL was increased by changes in economic forecasting associated with the Company’s credit forecasting model, including the expected impact of higher inflation and a higher Federal funds rate. While we believe that the methodologies and calculations that have been used in the determination of the ACL are adequate, the determination of the appropriateness of the ACL is complex and requires judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Factors beyond our control, such as changes in economic forecasts related to the national economy, changes in consumer behavior, or economic deterioration in service areas in which the Company operates, may negatively and materially affect asset quality and the adequacy of the ACL, as well as the resulting provision for credit losses.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income represents fees and income derived from sources other than interest-earning assets. The following table presents the major components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in Thousands) · (Dollars in Thousands)

NM: Not meaningful

Non-interest income increased to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to gains on the sale of investment securities totaling $0.5 million during the 2026 period. Management continues to evaluate opportunities to add non-interest revenue streams and grow existing streams; however, with the exception of sales of investment securities which cannot be predicted with certainty, significant variation in non-interest income is not expected in the near term.

49

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense represents expenses incurred from sources other than interest-bearing liabilities. The following table presents the major components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in Thousands) · (Dollars in Thousands)

Non-interest expense totaled $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increased expense resulted primarily from an increase in occupancy expenses associated with expansion of the Company’s banking center footprint, as well as inflationary increases in various other expense categories.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% and 22.6%, respectively, for the same periods.

The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as changes in tax-exempt interest income earned from bank-qualified municipal bonds and loans and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Management makes decisions about whether to invest in tax-exempt instruments on a case-by-case basis after considering a number of factors, including investment return, credit quality and the consistency of such investments with the Company’s overall strategy. The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate commensurate with the level of these investments as compared to total pre-tax income.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is used by management to provide liquidity, to generate interest income and for use as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding. Risk and return can be adjusted by altering the duration, composition and/or balance of the portfolio. The expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.6 years and 3.7 years as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2026, available-for-sale securities totaled $165.6 million, or 99.8% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $168.1 million, or 99.7% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2025. Available-for-sale securities consisted of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, and obligations of state and political subdivisions.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and represent securities that the Company both intends and has the ability to hold to maturity. As of June 30, 2026, held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.4 million, or 0.2% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $0.5 million, or 0.3% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2025. Held-to-maturity securities consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, and obligations of state and political subdivisions.

Net unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio totaled $2.9 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in unrealized losses in the portfolio resulted from changes in the interest rate environment, in particular, increases in market rates, particularly in the mid- to long-term part of the Treasury curve between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, as well as the sale of two residential mortgage-backed securities during the period. Management elected to sell these securities in an effort to realize gains, while

50

providing cash flows that assisted in the reduction of wholesale brokered deposits. Net unrealized losses within the available-for-sale portfolio were recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company evaluated both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios for credit losses and concluded that no credit losses were included in either portfolio and that the unrealized losses in both portfolios resulted from the prevailing interest rate environment.

Loans and Leases

The Company’s total loan portfolio increased by $7.6 million, or 0.9%, as of June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The tables below summarize loan balances by portfolio category, as well as the ACL, as of the end of each of the most recent five quarters as of June 30, 2026:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Lending Commitments

The Company records an ACL on unfunded lending commitments in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable. Unconditional lending commitments generally include unfunded term loan agreements, home equity lines of credit, lines of credit, and demand deposit account overdraft protection. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments, which is recorded in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.3 million, compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

Allocation of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases

While no portion of the ACL is in any way restricted to any individual loan or group of loans and the entire allowance is available to absorb losses from any and all loans, the following table shows an allocation of the ACL for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in Thousands)

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans in the three prior full years were as follows: 0.14% (2024), 0.14% (2023), 0.16% (2022).

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $30.0 million, or 2.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Included in this decrease were $20.1 million in wholesale brokered time deposits that matured and were not replaced. The remaining decrease was comprised of reductions of $19.2 million in retail time deposits and $4.0 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $13.3 million. The decrease in wholesale deposits, as well as other interest-bearing time deposits, assisted management’s efforts to reduce overall deposit costs, while maintaining an appropriate level of core funding. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more and all wholesale brokered deposits, totaled $835.2 million, or 83.7% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $838.3 million, or 81.6% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025.

Core deposits have historically been the Company’s primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to successfully meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that core deposits will continue to be the Company’s primary source of funding in the future. Management will continue to monitor deposit levels closely to help ensure an adequate level of funding for the Company’s

54

activities. However, various economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source in the future, including increased competition from other financial institutions in deposit gathering, national and local economic conditions and interest rate policies adopted by the FRB and other central banks.

The following tables present details on the composition of the Company's deposits for the periods indicated:

June 30, 2026

December 31, 2025

Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Other interest-bearing liabilities that are used by the Company as an alternative source of funds consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and subordinated debt. As of June 30, 2026, other interest-bearing liabilities totaled 4.1% of total interest-bearing liabilities, compared to 1.2% as of December 31, 2025.

Shareholders’ Equity

As of June 30, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $104.3 million, or 9.09% of total assets, compared to $105.6 million, or 9.15% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. While earnings, net of dividends paid, increased shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase was fully offset by share repurchases, combined with an increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the increasing interest rate environment and the sale of investment securities in gain positions during the period. During both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.14 per share on its common stock.

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed the repurchase of 237,500 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.33 per share. The repurchases were completed under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2026, 1,547,313 shares remained available for repurchase under the program.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily from the following sources: (1) excess cash and interest-bearing deposits in banks, (2) federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, (3) principal payments and maturities of loans and (4) principal payments and maturities from the investment portfolio. Loans maturing or repricing in one year or less amounted to $133.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and $274.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice in one year or less were estimated to be $22.6 million and $27.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Although some securities in the investment portfolio have final maturities exceeding 10 years, a substantial percentage of the portfolio provides monthly principal and interest payments and consists of securities that are readily marketable and easily convertible into cash on short notice. The investment securities portfolio had an estimated average life of 3.6 years and 3.7 years as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. However, management does not rely solely upon the investment portfolio to generate cash flows to fund loans, capital expenditures, dividends, debt repayment and other cash requirements. These activities are also funded by cash flows from loan payments, as well as increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, which represent the Company’s primary sources of funds. In addition, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term and long-term borrowings are additional sources of available liquidity. Liquidity management involves the continual monitoring of the sources and uses of funds to maintain an acceptable cash position. Long-term liquidity management focuses on considerations related to the total balance sheet structure. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance.

The Company had outstanding borrowings under FHLB advances of $20.0 million as of June 30, 2026, while as of December 31, 2025, the Company had no balances outstanding under FHLB advances. The Company's use of FHLB advances varies depending on fluctuations in deposits and other funding sources, as well as their use in interest rate hedging strategies. The Company had up to $309.6 million and $324.1 million in remaining unused credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral, which may include eligible investment securities and loans) as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company also has access to the FRB’s discount window. The discount window allows borrowing on pledged collateral that includes eligible investment securities and loans. The Company maintains pledges of its consumer indirect loan portfolio and selected investment securities with the FRB as collateral to provide immediate access to funding through the discount window. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $5.0 million in outstanding federal funds purchased from the FRB's discount window, while there were no outstanding federal funds purchased from the discount window as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the Company had $191.6 million and $210.9 million, respectively, in unused borrowing capacity with the FRB’s discount window.

In addition to collateralized funding sources through the FHLB and FRB, the Company had $48.0 million in unused established unsecured lines of credit with banks as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that will mature on October 1, 2031. Net of unamortized debt issuance costs, the subordinated notes were recorded as long-term borrowings totaling $11.0 million and $10.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The table below provides information on the Company’s on-balance sheet liquidity, as well as readily available off-balance sheet sources of liquidity, as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The table above calculates readily available liquidity by combining cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and unencumbered investment security values on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with off-balance sheet liquidity that is readily available through unused collateral pledged to the FHLB and FRB, as well as unsecured lines of credit with other banks. Liquidity from pledgable investment securities and total readily available liquidity are non-GAAP measures used by management and regulators to analyze a portion of the Company's liquidity. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's liquidity position.

Pledgable investment securities are considered by management as a readily available source of liquidity since the Company has the ability to pledge the securities with the FHLB or FRB to obtain immediate funding. Both available-for-sale and held-for-maturity securities may be pledged at fair value with the FHLB and through the FRB discount window. The amounts shown as liquidity from pledgable investment securities represent total investment securities as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, less reductions for securities already pledged and discounts expected to be taken by the lender to determine collateral value. The unused lendable collateral value at the FHLB presented in the table above represents only the amount immediately available to the Company from loans already pledged by the Company to the FHLB as of each consolidated balance sheet date presented.

The Company’s readily available liquidity position decreased to $409.9 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $467.2 million as of December 31, 2025, due to a number of factors, including a reduction in cash and cash equivalents commensurate with efforts to improve balance sheet efficiency, combined with increased usage of secured short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2026. While readily available liquidity decreased comparing June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2025, the Company maintained ample access to liquidity relative to estimated uninsured deposits. Excluding wholesale brokered deposits, as of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 27 thousand deposit accounts with an average balance of approximately $32.2 thousand per account. Estimated uninsured deposits (calculated as deposit amounts per deposit holder in excess of $250 thousand, the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance, and excluding deposits secured by pledged assets) totaled $176.7 million, or 17.6% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, estimated uninsured deposits totaled $218.0 million, or 21.2% of total deposits. Management believes the Company’s on-balance sheet and other readily available liquidity sources as presented in the table above provide strong indicators of the Company’s ability to fund obligations in a stressed liquidity environment, particularly when considered relative to the Company’s uninsured deposit levels. Furthermore, in addition to the liquidity sources noted in the table above, the Company has access to additional sources of liquidity that generally could be obtained over a period of time. For example, the Company has access to unsecured brokered deposits through the wholesale funding markets.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to cover its contractual obligations and commitments over the next twelve months.
