Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company whose operations consist of the ownership of its wholly-owned ~~subsidiaries,~~subsidiary, Bridgewater Bank (the “Bank”) ~~and Bridgewater Risk Management, Inc.~~. The Bank commenced operations in 2005 and provides retail and commercial loan and deposit services, principally to customers within the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 2008, the Bank formed BWB Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, for the purpose of holding repossessed property. In 2018, the Bank formed Bridgewater Investment Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, for the purpose of holding certain municipal securities and to engage in municipal lending activities.

Bridgewater Risk Management, Inc. was incorporated in December 2016 as a wholly-owned insurance company. It insures the Company and its subsidiaries against certain risks unique to the operations of the Company and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. Bridgewater Risk Management pools resources with several other insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three ~~and six-month periods~~months ended ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, ~~2023.~~2024.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company, the Bank, with locations in Bloomington, Greenwood, Minneapolis (2), St. Louis Park, Orono, and St. Paul, Minnesota, BWB Holdings, LLC, ~~Bridgewater Investment Management, Inc.,~~ and Bridgewater ~~Risk~~Investment Management, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information available which could affect judgements includes, but is not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including elevated levels of inflation and possible recession, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

~~Table of Contents~~

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, calculation of deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, and investment securities impairment.

~~Emerging Growth Company~~

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if the Company complies with the greater obligations of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, the Company may avail itself of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as the Company is an emerging growth company. The Company will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 13, 2018; (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues; (3) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); or (4) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three-year period, issued publicly or privately, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

~~Allowance for Credit Losses~~

~~Securities Available for Sale~~

For any securities classified as available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income with the establishment of an allowance. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value is the result of credit deterioration. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings and any other known adverse conditions related to the specific security, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses, or ACL, is recorded for the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, limited by the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds fair value. Any impairment not recognized in the allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the ACL on securities are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on securities available for sale is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

~~Loans~~

The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans over their contractual life. The contractual term does not consider

108

Table of Contents

extensions, renewals or modifications. Loans are charged off against the ACL on loans when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance has been confirmed. Recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL on loans.

The ACL on loans is measured on a collective or pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company’s pooling method is primarily based on loan purpose and collateral type and generally follows the Company’s loan segmentation for regulatory reporting. The Company has identified the following pools of loans with similar risk characteristics for measuring the ACL on loans:

~~Commercial:~~ Commercial loans generally are loans to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other business enterprises to finance working capital, capital investment, or for other business related purposes. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets or interests, including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and real estate interests, if applicable. The primary repayment sources for commercial loans are the cash flow of the operating businesses which can be adversely affected by company, industry and economic business cycles. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

~~Paycheck Protection Program (PPP):~~ PPP loans are loans to businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed individuals who met certain criteria and eligibility requirements through a loan program established by the CARES Act and administered through the Small Business Administration, or SBA. In 2021, the PPP loan program ended and the Company is no longer originating loans under this program. Credit risk in these loans is limited due to a full guarantee by the U.S. Government.

~~Construction and Land Development:~~ Construction and land development loans are generally loans to finance land development or the construction of industrial, commercial, or multifamily buildings. Construction loans can include construction of new structures, additions or alterations to existing structures, or the demolition of existing structures to make way for new structures. Construction loans are generally secured by real estate. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the uncertainty on whether the construction will be completed according to the specifications and schedules and the reliance on the sale of the completed project as the primary repayment source for the loan. Factors that may influence the completion of construction may be customer specific, such as the quality and depth of property management, or related to changes in general economic conditions. Trends in the commercial and residential construction industries can significantly impact the credit quality of these loans due to supply and demand imbalances. In addition, fluctuations in real estate values can significantly impact the credit quality of these loans, as property values may determine the economic viability of construction projects and adversely impact the value of the collateral securing the loan.

~~1-4 Family Construction:~~ 1-4 family construction loans are generally loans to finance the construction of new structures, additions or alterations to existing structures, or the demolition of existing structures to make way for new structures. 1-4 family construction loans are generally secured by real estate. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the uncertainty on whether the construction will be completed according to the specifications and schedules. Factors that may influence the completion of 1-4 family construction may be customer specific or related to changes in general economic conditions.

~~1-4 Family Mortgage:~~ 1-4 family mortgage loans are generally loans to finance loans on owner occupied and nonowner occupied properties. 1-4 family mortgage loans are secured by first or second liens on the property. The degree of risk in residential mortgage lending involving owner occupied properties depends primarily on the borrower’s ability to repay and the loan amount in relation to collateral value. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. Weak economic trends indicate that the borrower’s capacity to repay their obligations may be deteriorating. 1-4 family mortgage loans include credits to finance nonowner occupied properties used as rentals. These loans can involve additional risks as the borrower’s ability to repay is based on the net operating income from the property which can be impacted by occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating expenses. Declines in net operating income can negatively impact the value of the property which increases the credit risk in the event of default.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Multifamily:~~ Multifamily loans are loans to finance multifamily properties. The primary source of repayment for multifamily loans is the cash flows of the underlying property. The primary risk characteristics include increases in vacancy rates, overbuilt supply, interest rates or changes in general economic conditions. Economic factors such as unemployment, wage growth and home affordability can impact vacancy rates and property cash flow.

~~Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Owner Occupied:~~ Owner occupied commercial real estate loans are properties that are owned and operated by the borrower and the primary source for repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower’s business. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the underlying business and its ability to generate sustainable profitability and positive cash flow. Also, certain types of businesses also may require specialized facilities that can increase costs and may not be economically feasible to an alternative user, which could adversely impact the market value of the collateral. Factors that may influence a borrower's ability to repay their loan include demand for the business’ products or services, the quality and depth of management, the degree of competition, regulatory changes, and general economic conditions.

~~Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Nonowner Occupied:~~ Nonowner occupied commercial real estate loans are investment properties and the primary source for repayment of the loan is derived from rental income associated with the property or proceeds of the sale of the property. Nonowner occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, commercial/retail office space, industrial/warehouse space, hotels, assisted living facilities and other specific use properties. The primary risk characteristics include impacts of overall leasing rates, absorption timelines, levels of vacancy rates and operating expenses, and general economic conditions. Banks that are concentrated in commercial real estate lending are subject to additional regulatory scrutiny and must employ enhanced risk management practices.

~~Consumer and Other:~~ Consumer and other loans generally include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as auto loans, debt consolidation loans, personal expense loans or overdraft protection. The primary risk characteristics associated with consumer and other loans typically include major changes to the borrower’s financial or personal circumstances, including unemployment or other loss of income, unexpected significant expenses, such as for major medical expenses, catastrophic events, divorce or death.

Management assesses the adequacy of the ACL on loans on a quarterly basis. Management estimates the ACL on loans using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company uses the weighted-average remaining maturity, or WARM, method as the basis for estimating expected credit losses. The WARM method uses a historical average annual charge off rate. This average annual charge off rate contains loss content over a historical lookback period and is used as a foundation for estimating the ACL on loans for the remaining outstanding balances of loans by segment at the balance sheet date. The average annual charge off rate is applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for estimated prepayments, to determine the unadjusted historical charge off rate. The calculation of the unadjusted historical charge off rate is then adjusted for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecast periods through qualitative factors prior to being applied to the current balance of the loan segments. Accrued interest receivable on loans available for sale is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Forecast adjustments to the historical loss rate are based on a forecast of the U.S. national unemployment rate, a forecast of the difference between the 10-year and 3-month treasury rates, and the most recent available BBB rated corporate bond spreads to U.S. Treasury securities, or BBB Spread. The forecast overlay adjustment for the reasonable and supportable forecast assumes an immediate reversion after a one-year forecast period to historical loss rates for the remaining life of the respective loan segment.

~~Qualitative factors are used to cover losses that are expected but, in the Company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis or the forecasts described above.~~ These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the historic loss factors. Each qualitative loss factor, for each loan segment within the portfolio, incorporates consideration for a minimum to maximum range for loss factors. These qualitative factor adjustments may increase or decrease the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and are applied to each loan segment. The qualitative factors applied to each loan segment include changes in lending policies and procedures, general economic and business conditions, the nature, volume and

~~Table of Contents~~

terms of loans, the experience, depth and ability of lending staff, the quality of the loan review function, the value of underlying collateral, competition, legal and regulatory factors, the volume and severity of watchlist and past due loans, and the level of concentrations.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the pooled evaluations and typically represent collateral dependent loans but may also include other nonperforming loans or modifications. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to measure individually evaluated loans as collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral.

Management may also adjust its assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period to period. The variability of management’s assumptions could alter the ACL on loans materially and impact future results of operations and financial condition. The loss estimation models and methods used to determine the allowance for credit losses are continually refined and enhanced.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures~~

The Company maintains a separate ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, financial guarantees, and letters of credit, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the estimated life of such commitments. The allowance is calculated using the same aggregate reserve rates calculated for the funded portion of the loan segment and applied to the amount of commitments expected to fund.

~~Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance~~

~~On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 “~~~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,”~~ as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss, or CECL, methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments). In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities if management does intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $3.9 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL. The transition adjustment included a $650,000 impact due to the increase in ACL related to loans, a $4.8 million impact due the establishment of the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, and a $1.6 million impact on deferred taxes.

~~In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02,~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.~~ ~~This ASU updates guidance in Topic 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs, by creditors in Subtopic 310-40,~~ ~~Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,~~ while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current period gross write offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivables by year of origination. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In March ~~2023,~~2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ~~(“FASB”)~~or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. ~~2023-01,~~ 2024-02, ~~Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements~~Codification Improvements: Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements.. The ~~FASB issued guidance clarifies~~ASU amends the ~~accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases, by requiring that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by~~Codification to remove references to various concepts and impacts a variety of topics in the ~~lessee over~~Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the ~~useful life~~scope of the ~~leasehold improvements~~affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the ~~common control group (regardless of~~guidance. Generally, the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease. Additionally, leasehold improvements associated with common control leases should be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The amendments in ~~this~~ ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective ~~for annual~~January 1, 2025 and ~~interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and are~~is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

~~In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02,~~ ~~Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method~~. These amendments allow reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. The Company is assessing ASU 2023-02 and its impact on its accounting and disclosures.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through ~~August 3, 2023,~~May 2, 2024, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock compensation. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units ~~of approximately 1,034,600 and 896,300 shares, respectively,~~totaling 1,158,046 were excluded from the calculation because they were deemed to be anti-dilutive. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units ~~of approximately 332,200 and 300,500~~totaling 621,994 shares ~~respectively,~~ were excluded from the calculation because ~~their effect would have been anti-dilutive.~~they were deemed to be antidilutive.

The following table presents the numerators and denominators for basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and ~~2022:~~2023:

Beginning January 1, 2023, the Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require an allowance for credit losses on securities in accordance with ASC 326 - ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~.

~~Table of Contents~~

At ~~June 30, 2023, 529~~March 31, 2024, 519 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately ~~10.5%~~9.1% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. At December 31, 2023, 521 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 9.2% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and were not reflective of credit events. To make this determination, consideration is given to such factors as the credit rating of the issuer, level of credit enhancement, changes in credit ratings, market conditions such as current interest rates, any adverse conditions specific to the security, and delinquency status on contractual payments. As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses carried on the Company’s securities portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable on securities, which is recorded within accrued interest on the balance sheet, totaled ~~$3.9~~$5.2 million and $4.9 million at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

~~At December 31, 2022, 530 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation~~11

Table of approximately 9.9% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. For periods prior to the adoption of ASC 326, management conducted a quarterly review and evaluation of its securities for other than temporary impairment. In analyzing whether unrealized losses on debt securities were other than temporary, management considered the length of time and the extent to which the fair value was less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by a government body or agency, whether a rating agency has downgraded the securities, industry analysts’ reports, the financial condition and performance of the issuer, the quality of any underlying assets or credit enhancements, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. No declines were deemed to be other than temporary as of December 31, 2022.Contents

The following table presents a summary of amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities by the lesser of expected call date or contractual maturity as of ~~June 30, 2023.~~March 31, 2024. Call date is used when a call of the debt security is expected, as determined by the Company when the security has a market value above its amortized cost. Contractual maturities will differ from expected maturities for mortgage-backed, SBA securities and asset-backed securities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

The Company aggregates loans into credit quality indicators based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt by using internal reviews in which management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which the borrowers operate, and the fair values of collateral securing the loans. The Company analyzes all loans individually to assign a risk rating, grouped into five major categories defined as follows:

Pass: A pass loan is a credit with no known or existing potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Watch: Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, this potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Watch loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Well defined weaknesses include a borrower’s lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time, or the failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Table of Contents

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off immediately.

Note 6: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which consist of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, to assist in its interest rate risk management. The notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual agreements. Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in current earnings.

Non-hedge Derivatives

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to facilitate client transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments to meet client needs, the Company enters into offsetting positions with large U.S. financial institutions in order to minimize the risk to the Company. These swaps are derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments.

Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty or client owes the Company, and results in credit risk to the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the client or counterparty and therefore, the Company has no credit risk.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps to facilitate customer transactions as of ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with any gain or loss related to changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged asset or liability. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage interest rate exposure for the brokered deposit and wholesale borrowing portfolios. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that ~~$7.8~~$8.1 million will be reclassified to interest expense, as a reduction of the expense.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

Note 9:10: Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual, or notional, amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and some of the commitments may not be drawn upon to the total extent of the commitment, the notional amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The following table presents commitments outstanding at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

Note ~~11:~~12: Regulatory Capital

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank must also meet certain specific capital guidelines under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (referred to as the “leverage ratio”), as defined under the applicable regulatory capital rules.

The following tables present the capital amounts and ratios for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and the Bank as of ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

Note ~~12:~~13: Fair Value Measurement

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs that utilized quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company may re-measure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments to fair value usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value.

Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted the policy to value certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company has not elected to measure any existing financial instruments at fair value; however, it may elect to measure newly acquired financial instruments at fair value in the future.

Investment Securities

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

For the Company’s investments, when quoted prices are not available for identical securities in an active market, the Company determines fair value utilizing vendors who apply matrix pricing for similar bonds where no price is observable or may compile prices from various sources. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market, and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially, all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Fair values from these models are verified, where possible, against quoted market prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when prices from independent sources vary, or cannot be obtained or corroborated, a security is generally classified as Level 3.

Table of Contents

similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when prices from independent sources vary, or cannot be obtained or corroborated, a security is generally classified as Level 3.

Interest Rate Caps

The fair value of the caps is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivative, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities, and accordingly are valued using Level 2 inputs.

Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swaps are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those interest rate swaps, fair value is determined using internally developed models of a third party that uses primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and accordingly are valued using Level 2 inputs.

Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment or a change in the amount of previously recognized impairment.

The following tables present net impairment losses related to nonrecurring fair value measurements of certain assets at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

Individually Evaluated Loans ~~(Impaired Loans prior to January 1, 2023)~~

In accordance with the provisions of the individually evaluated loan guidance, credit loss is measured on loans when it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company ~~has elected to use the practical expedient to measure individually evaluated~~records certain loans as collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and theat fair value ~~of the underlying collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of~~on a loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans.non-recurring basis. Individually evaluated loans for which an allowance is established, or a write-down has occurred during the period, based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. ~~Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.~~

Credit loss amounts on individually evaluated loans represent specific valuation allowance and write-downs during the period presented that were individually evaluated for impairment based on the estimatedThe fair value of the loan’s collateral ~~less~~is determined by appraisals, independent valuation and other techniques. When the fair value of the loan’s collateral is based on an observable market price the Company classifies the fair value of the individually evaluated loans within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. For loans in which the valuation has unobservable inputs, the Company classifies these within the Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. As of March 31, 2024, collateral values were estimated ~~selling costs, excluding impaired~~using a combination of observable inputs, including recent appraisals, and unobservable inputs, including internally determined values based on cost adjusted for depreciation and customized discounting criteria on appraisals which ranged from 3-15%. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of individually evaluated loans ~~fully charged-off.~~have been classified as Level 3.

Fair Value

Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of cash flow or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments with a fair value that is not practicable to estimate and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Company.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters that could affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Deposits with no stated maturities are defined as having a fair value equivalent to the amount payable on demand. This prohibits adjusting fair value derived from retaining those deposits for an expected future period of time. This component, commonly referred to as a deposit base intangible, is neither considered in the above amounts nor is it recorded as an intangible asset on the balance sheet. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022:~~2023:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate fair value of ~~consolidated~~ financial ~~statements~~instruments not previously discussed.

Cash and due from banks – The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

~~Bank-owned certificates of deposit~~ ~~– Fair values of bank-owned certificates of deposit are estimated using the discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates for similar types of deposits.~~

FHLB stock – The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.

Loans, net – Fair values for loans are estimated based on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.

Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value since it is short term in nature and does not present anticipated credit concerns.

Deposits – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits without stated maturities (interest and noninterest transaction, savings, and money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (their carrying amounts). Fair values for the fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

~~Federal funds purchased~~Notes payable and subordinated debentures – The ~~carrying amount~~fair values of ~~federal funds purchased approximates~~ the ~~fair value.~~Company’s notes payable and subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

FHLB advances – The fair values of the Company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing agreements.

~~Subordinated debentures~~ – The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

~~Table of Contents~~

Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short term in nature.

Off-balance sheet instruments – Fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties’ credit standing and discounted cash flow analysis.

Table of Contents

The fair value of these off-balance sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and was not material at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Limitations – The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between market participants, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Overview

The Company is a financial holding company headquartered in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The principal sources of funds for loans and investments are transaction, savings, time, and other deposits, and short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company’s principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, interest and dividends earned on investment securities and service charges. The Company’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowings, employee compensation and other overhead expenses. The Company’s simple, efficient business model of providing responsive support and unconventional experiences to clients continues to be the underlying principle that drives the Company’s profitable growth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in “Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included as a part of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies or the assumptions and judgments utilized in applying these policies since December 31, 2023. Certain policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variation and may significantly affect the reported results and financial position for the current period or in future periods. The use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when financial assets and liabilities are required to be recorded or adjusted to reflect fair value. Assets carried at fair value inherently result in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on either quoted market prices or are provided by other independent third-party sources, when available. When such information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on the future financial condition and results of operations. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting policies with the Company's Audit Committee.

The JOBS Act permits the Company an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, which means that the financial statements included in this report, as well as any financial statements filed in the future, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as the Company remains an emerging growth company or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

~~The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that require the Company to make complex and subjective judgements.~~

~~Allowance for Credit Losses~~

~~In accordance with ASC 326,~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses~~, the allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management determines all or a portion of the loan balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is increased (decreased) by provisions (or reversals of) reported in the income statement as a component of provisions

4036

Table of Contents

for credit loss. Under the new guidance, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a liability account representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from an off-balance sheet exposure.

The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on such financial instruments using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses for loans is measured on a collective basis for portfolios of loans when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses on a collective basis, the loan portfolio is segmented into pools based upon similar risk characteristics and a lifetime loss-rate model is utilized. Management qualitatively adjusts model results for reasonable and supportable forecasts and risk factors that are not considered within the modeling processes but are relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan segment. These qualitative factor adjustments may increase or decrease management's estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk. Due to the subjective nature of these estimates the various components of the calculation require significant management judgement and certain assumptions are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and variations between expected and actual outcomes are likely.

~~Investment Securities Impairment~~

~~In accordance with ASC 326,~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses~~, available for sale securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses. For any securities classified as available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income with the establishment of an allowance. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value is the result of credit deterioration. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings and any other known adverse conditions related to the specific security, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, limited by the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds fair value. Any impairment not recognized in the allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The fair values of investment securities are generally determined by various pricing models. The Company evaluates the methodologies used to develop the resulting fair values. The Company performs an annual analysis on the pricing of investment securities to ensure that the prices represent reasonable estimates of fair value. The procedures include initial and ongoing reviews of pricing methodologies and trends. The Company seeks to ensure prices represent reasonable estimates of fair value through the use of broker quotes, current sales transactions from the portfolio and pricing techniques, which are based on the net present value of future expected cash flows discounted at a rate of return market participants would require. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value, the price is adjusted accordingly.

~~Fair Value of Financial Instruments~~

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business. A framework has been established for measuring the fair value of financial instruments that considers the attributes specific to particular assets or liabilities and includes a three-level hierarchy for determining fair value based on the transparency of inputs to each valuation as of the measurement date. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using a variety of valuation methods. When financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value and are classified as Level 1. When financial instruments, such as investment securities and derivatives, are not actively traded, the Company determines fair value based on various sources and may apply matrix pricing with observable prices for similar instruments where a price for the identical instrument is not observable. The fair values of these financial instruments, which are classified as Level 2,

~~Table of Contents~~

are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data such as interest rate volatilities, yield curve, credit spreads, prices from external market data providers and/or nonbinding broker-dealer quotations. When observable inputs do not exist, the Company estimates fair value based on available market data, and these values are classified as Level 3. Imprecision in estimating fair values can impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the amount of revenue or loss recorded.

~~Deferred Tax Asset~~

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed by GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. If currently available information indicates it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Accounting for deferred income taxes is a critical accounting estimate because the Company exercises significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. Management’s determination of the realization of deferred tax assets is based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, reversing temporary differences which may offset, and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax asset. These judgments and estimates are inherently subjective and reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require the Company to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in such period, which would negatively affect earnings.

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income was $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2024 were $0.24, compared to $0.37 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2023.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is impacted by the level of interest earning assets and related funding sources, as well as changes in the level of interest rates. The difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid for interest bearing liabilities is the net interest spread. Noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest bearing sources of funds is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. Both the net interest margin and net interest spread are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which means that tax-free interest income has been adjusted to pretax-equivalent income, assuming a 21% federal tax rate. Management’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to managing net interest margin and the Company’s primary source of earnings.

Average Balances and Yields

The following table presents, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, and an analysis of net interest income. The average balances are principally daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of net deferred loan origination fees and costs accounted for as yield adjustments. These tables are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, if applicable.

Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on interest earning assets and the interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. The changes not attributable specifically to either volume or rate have been allocated to the changes due to volume. The following ~~tables present~~table presents the changes in the volume and rate of interest bearing assets and liabilities for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023~~, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022:~~:

Comparison of Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Margin

~~Second Quarter of 2023 Compared to Second Quarter of 2022~~

Net interest income was ~~$25.9~~$24.6 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, a decrease of ~~$6.7~~$3.9 million compared to ~~$32.5~~$28.6 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and ~~increased borrowings~~growth in the rising interest rate ~~environment.~~environment, which outpaced the repricing of the loan and securities portfolios.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023~~2024 was ~~2.40%~~2.24%, a ~~118~~48 basis point ~~decrease~~decline from ~~3.58%~~2.72% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, ~~and PPP balances, interest, and fees,~~was 2.18% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023 was 2.31%,~~2024, a ~~103~~44 basis point ~~decrease~~decline from ~~3.34%~~2.62% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs, ~~and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment,~~ offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Average interest earning assets were $4.49 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023 increased $723.3~~2024, an increase of $169.0 million, or ~~19.7%~~3.9%, compared to ~~$4.40 billion, from $3.67~~$4.32 billion for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. This increase in average interest earning assets was

Average interest bearing liabilities ~~increased $817.9 million, or 33.5%, to $3.26~~were $3.39 billion for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023, from $2.44~~2024, an increase of $260.5 million, or 8.3%, compared to $3.13 billion for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in interest bearing transaction deposits, time deposits, brokered deposits and FHLB advances, offset partially by a decrease in federal funds ~~purchased and FHLB advances.~~purchased.

Average interest earning assets produced a tax-equivalent yield of ~~5.06%~~5.28% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~4.16%~~4.91% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan and securities portfolios in the rising interest rate environment. The average rate paid

~~Table of Contents~~

on interest bearing liabilities was ~~3.59%~~4.03% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~0.86%~~3.03% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023. The increase was primarily due to ~~the~~deposit repricing, which resulted from a rapid increase in market interest ~~rates that occurred between the periods, which impacted all funding sources.~~rates.

Interest Income. Total interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was ~~$55.4~~$59.0 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~$38.1~~$52.4 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The ~~$17.4~~$6.7 million increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to ~~strong organic~~ growth in the loan portfolio, ~~continued~~ purchases of investment securities and higher earning asset yields in the rising interest rate environment.

Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $66.2 million, or 11.0%, increase in average balances between the two periods and higher rates earned on securities.

Interest income on loans, on a tax-equivalent basis, was ~~$48.1~~$49.9 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~$34.5~~$45.3 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The ~~$13.6~~$4.6 million increase was primarily due to ~~a 19.6% increase in the average balance of loans outstanding from continued organic loan~~ growth and ~~a 74 basis point increase~~repricing of the loan portfolio in ~~yield from~~ the rising interest rate environment.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield ~~excluding PPP loans,~~ increased to ~~5.19%~~5.38% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, which was 7632 basis points higher than ~~4.43%~~5.06% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022. While loan fees have historically maintained a relatively stable contribution to~~2023. Despite the ~~aggregate loan yield, the recent periods saw fewer loan prepayments, which historically has accelerated the recognition of loan fees. Despite the~~overall decrease in fee recognition, ~~the Company is encouraged that~~ the core loan yield continues to rise as new loan originations and the existing portfolio reprice in the higher rate environment.

The following table presents a summary of interest and fees recognized on loans ~~excluding PPP loans,~~ for the periods indicated:

The ~~cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 273 basis points from 0.86% in the second quarter of 2022 to 3.59% in the second quarter of 2023,~~increase was primarily due to ~~higher rates paid on deposits~~growth and ~~increased utilization~~upward repricing of ~~federal funds purchased~~the deposit and FHLB advances portfolios in the ~~rising~~higher interest rate environment.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment and the average balance of interest bearing deposits increasing by $463.0 million, or 18.5%. The cost of total deposits ~~increased 220 basis points from 0.46%~~was 3.32% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2024, a 131 basis point increase, compared to ~~2.66%~~2.01% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2023.

This increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio and continued purchases of investment securities, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $832.0 million, or 35.2%, to $3.19 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $2.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in brokered deposits, federal funds purchased, and FHLB advances.

~~Interest Income.~~ Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $107.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $73.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $34.8 million increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio, continued purchases of investment securities, and higher earning asset yields in the rising interest rate environment.

Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a fully-tax equivalent basis, increased $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an $131.5 million, or 28.1%, increase in average balances and a 142 basis point increase in yield between the periods.

Interest income on loans, on a fully-tax equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $93.3 million, compared to $66.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $27.0 million increase was primarily due to a 22.3% increase in the average balances of loans outstanding and a 67 basis point increase in yield.

~~Interest Expense.~~ Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities increased $42.8 million to $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and increased utilization of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances in the rising interest rate environment.

~~Interest expense on deposits increased to $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to~~

$6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $32.8 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $10.0 million to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher average balances of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances in the higher interest rate environment.

~~Six months ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six months ended June 30, 2022~~

Noninterest expense was $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.3 million, or 4.8%, from $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, reports total noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income plus total noninterest income, less gains (losses) on sales of securities. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides a meaningful comparison of operational performance and facilitates investors’ assessments of business performance and trends in comparison to peers in the banking industry.

The efficiency ratio was ~~52.7%~~58.2% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~40.2%~~45.9% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~ ~~The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 49.3% and 41.2%, respectively.~~2023. The efficiencies of the Company's "branch-light" model have positioned the Company well to continue navigating a challenging environment for a more spread-based revenue model.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses for income tax purposes and the recognition of tax credits. The Company’s future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax-free investments and loans, the recognition and availability of tax credit investments, and overall taxable income.

Income tax expense was ~~$3.0~~$2.4 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023,~~2024, compared to ~~$4.5~~$4.1 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 were ~~$4.60~~$4.72 billion, an increase of ~~$257.5~~$111.1 million, or ~~5.9%~~2.4%, over total assets of ~~$4.35~~$4.61 billion at December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, and an increase of ~~$719.9~~$120.2 million, or ~~18.5%~~2.6%, over total assets of ~~$3.88~~$4.60 billion at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The growth in both periods was primarily due to ~~strong~~organic loan growth and ~~an increase in cash and cash equivalents.~~

~~Total gross loans at June 30, 2023 were $3.74 billion, an increase~~purchases of $166.8 million, or 4.7%, over total gross loans of $3.57 billion at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $510.3 million, or 15.8%, over total gross loans of $3.23 billion at June 30, 2022. The increase in the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to ~~funding of existing construction and land development loans and growth in the 1-4 family mortgage segment, offset partially by a decrease in the 1-4 family construction segment. Total~~ gross loans grew on an annualized basis of 5.6% during the second quarter of 2023. While the Company’s loan growth in the second quarter of 2023 remained strong, the pace was moderated slightly due to active balance sheet management to align loan growth with the funding outlook, sales of participations on larger originations to manage growth, and ultimately the impact of the higher interest rate environment on the number of prospective deals that meet underwriting standards.investment securities.

Investment Securities Portfolio

The investment securities portfolio is used to make various term investments and is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity, a source of stable income, and at times, to serve as collateral for certain types of deposits or borrowings. Investment balances in the investment securities portfolio are subject to change over time based on funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. The liquidity levels take into account anticipated future cash flows and are maintained at levels management believes are appropriate to ensure future flexibility in meeting anticipated funding needs.

These maturities do not necessarily represent the expected life of the securities as the securities may be called or paid down without penalty prior to their stated maturities. All investment securities are held as available for sale.

Asset Quality

The Company emphasizes credit quality in the originating and monitoring of the loan portfolio, and success in underwriting is measured by the levels of classified and nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. Federal regulations and internal policies require the use of an asset classification system as a means of managing and reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with federal banking regulations, as a part of the credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the financial institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all

~~Table of Contents~~

of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly

questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “watch.”

The following table presents information on loan classifications at ~~June 30, 2023.~~March 31, 2024. The Company had no assets classified as doubtful or loss at ~~June 30, 2023.~~March 31, 2024.

Management continues to actively work with these borrowers and closely monitor substandard credits.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans include loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans 90 days past due and still accruing. Nonaccrual loans totaled ~~$662,000~~$249,000 at ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and ~~$639,000~~$919,000 at December 31, ~~2022, an increase~~2023, a decrease of ~~$23,000.~~$670,000.

Reflects the balance outstanding at June 30, 2023 of accruing modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty since adoption of ASU 2022-02. See “Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this report for a discussion for this standard. Periods presented prior to that date reflect the outstanding balance of accruing troubled debt restructures as defined by superseded accounting guidance of ASC 310-40. Accruing loans are those where the Company expects to collect all amounts contractually due.

~~Table of Contents~~

The balance of nonperforming assets can fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions. The Company has established a policy to discontinue accruing interest on a loan (that is, place the loan on nonaccrual status) after it has become 90 days delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, unless the loan is considered to be well-collateralized and is actively in the process of collection. In addition, a loan will be placed on nonaccrual status before it becomes 90 days delinquent unless management believes that the collection of interest is expected. Interest previously accrued but uncollected on such loans is reversed and charged against current income when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible. If management believes that a loan will not be collected in full, an increase to the allowance for credit

losses on loans is recorded to reflect management’s estimate of any potential exposure or loss. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied directly to principal. Gross income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2024 and 2023 was ~~$15,000~~$13,000 and ~~$31,000,~~$16,000, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses on loans is a reserve established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level management considers adequate to provide for expected lifetime losses in the portfolio. Although management strives to maintain an allowance it deems adequate, future economic changes, deterioration of borrowers’ creditworthiness, and the impact of examinations by regulatory agencies, among other factors, all could cause changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans.

At ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans was ~~$50.7~~$51.3 million, an increase of ~~$2.7 million~~$853,000 from ~~$48.0~~$50.5 million at December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled ($3,000) during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023~~2024 and ~~$6,000~~($2,000) during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled ($5,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $9,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.~~2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.36% at ~~June 30, 2023, compared to 1.34% at~~both March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Deposits increased in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2023~~2024 primarily due to inflows of core deposits, defined as deposits excluding brokered deposits and time deposits greater than ~~$250,000,~~$250,000. Core deposits increased $90.3

million, or 14.3% annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2023. Growth in core deposits was primarily due to increased balances of existing clients and ~~brokered deposits. Brokered~~new client acquisitions. Based on the nature of these inflows, management believes core deposits ~~continue to be used~~could fluctuate in future periods as ~~a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support continued loan portfolio growth.~~deposit growth is not always linear.

The Company relies on increasing the deposit base to fund loans and other asset growth. The Company is in a highly competitive market and competes for local deposits by offering attractive products with competitive rates. The Company expects to have a higher average cost of funds for local deposits compared to competitor banks due to the lack of an extensive branch network. The Company’s strategy is to offset the higher cost of funding with a lower level of operating expense. When appropriate, the Company utilizes alternative funding sources such as brokered deposits. The brokered deposit market provides flexibility in structure, optionality and efficiency not afforded in traditional retail deposit channels. At ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, total brokered deposits were ~~$974.8~~$992.8 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$198.7~~$31.7 million, compared to total brokered deposits of ~~$776.2 million~~$1.02 billion at December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. Brokered deposits, which declined for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2021, continue to be used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support loan portfolio growth.

Regulations include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that was added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, the ratios for the Company and the Bank were sufficient to meet the conservation buffer.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of clients, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Most of these commitments mature within two years and the standby letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. All off-balance sheet commitments are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and the Bank are required to hold.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company decreases its exposure to losses under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. The Company assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establishes a liability for probable credit losses.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the Company’s capacity to meet cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flows and collateral needs without adversely affecting either daily operations or financial condition. The Bank’s Asset Liability Management, or ALM, Committee, which is comprised of members of senior management, is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving the Company’s financial objectives. The ALM Committee meets regularly to review balance sheet composition, funding capacities, and current and forecasted loan demand.

The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate levels of cash and other assets from on- and off-balance sheet arrangements. Specifically, on-balance sheet liquidity consists of cash and due from banks and unpledged investment securities available for sale, which are referred to as primary liquidity. In regards to off-balance sheet capacity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and a correspondent lender, as well as unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of overnight funds with various correspondent banks, which the Company refers to as secondary liquidity.

In addition, the Bank is a member of the American Financial Exchange, or AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding through the AFX.

Total on- and off-balance sheet liquidity was ~~$1.96~~$2.25 billion as of ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, compared to ~~$1.38~~$2.23 billion at December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The Company did not utilize the ~~Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) or~~ Federal Reserve Discount Window during the ~~second quarter of 2023.~~three months ended March 31, 2024.

Secondary liquidity ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$738.7~~$25.4 million as of ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, when compared to December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, due to ~~an $828.8~~a $51.9 million ~~increase in the borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank and a $9.9 million increase~~decrease in the borrowing capacity with the FHLB, offset partially by a ~~$100.0~~$26.6 million ~~decrease~~increase in the ~~unsecured~~ borrowing capacity with ~~correspondent lenders.~~the Federal Reserve Bank.

In addition to primary liquidity, the Company generates liquidity from cash flows from the loan and securities portfolios and from the large base of core customer deposits, defined as noninterest bearing transaction, interest bearing transaction, savings, non-brokered money market accounts and non-brokered time deposits less than $250,000. At ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, core deposits totaled approximately ~~$2.51~~$2.64 billion and represented ~~70.3%~~69.3% of total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company, which promote long-standing relationships and stable funding sources.

At ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, brokered deposits totaled ~~$974.8~~$992.8 million, consisting of ~~$811.5~~$837.2 million of brokered time deposits and ~~$163.3~~$155.5 million of non-maturity brokered money market and transaction accounts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As a financial institution, the Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin because of changes in interest rates. The Company continually seeks to measure and manage the potential impact of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities mature or re-price at different times, on a different basis or in unequal amounts. Interest rate risk also arises when assets and liabilities each respond differently to changes in interest rates.

The Company’s management of interest rate risk is overseen by its ALM Committee, based on a risk management infrastructure approved by the board of directors that outlines reporting and measurement requirements. In particular, this infrastructure sets limits and management targets for various metrics, including net interest income

~~Table of Contents~~

simulation involving parallel shifts in interest rate curves, steepening and flattening yield curves, and various prepayment and deposit duration assumptions. The Company’s risk management infrastructure also requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates

Table of Contents

based on historical analysis and noninterest bearing and interest bearing transaction deposit durations based on historical analysis. The Company does not engage in speculative trading activities relating to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equities or credit.

The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest earning assets by managing the interest rates and terms associated with the investment securities portfolio by purchasing and selling investment securities from time to time. The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest bearing liabilities by managing the interest rates and terms associated with wholesale borrowings and deposits from customers which the Company relies on for funding. For example, the Company occasionally uses special offers on deposits to alter the interest rates and terms associated with interest bearing liabilities.

The Company has entered into certain hedging transactions including interest rate swaps and caps, which are designed to lessen elements of the Company’s interest rate exposure. Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage interest rate exposure for the brokered deposit and wholesale borrowing portfolios. At ~~June 30, 2023~~both March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, these cash flow hedges had a total notional amount of $308.0 ~~million and $288.0 million, respectively.~~million. In the event that interest rates do not change in the manner anticipated, such transactions may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Net Interest Income Simulation

The Company uses a net interest income simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in net interest income that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of the measurement date. This model has inherent limitations and the results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions as of a certain point in time. For purposes of the simulation, the Company assumes no growth in either interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months; therefore, the model’s results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet. The simulation model also incorporates various other assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results, such as: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (6) the effect of interest rate limitations in assets, such as floors and caps, and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of the limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on the results, but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and to manage interest rate risk.

Potential changes to the Company’s net interest income in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022~~2023 are presented in the table below. The projections assume an immediate, parallel shift downward of the yield curve of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts

~~Table of Contents~~

upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results and thus is not presented.

Table of Contents

The table above indicates that as of ~~June 30, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, in the event of an immediate and sustained 400 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company would experience an ~~7.68%~~1.74% decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 300 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience ~~an 11.22%~~a 6.47% increase in net interest income.

The results of this simulation analysis are hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads would also cause net interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or re-price faster than the Company’s assets. Actual results could differ from those projected if the Company grows assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if the Company experienced a net outflow of deposit liabilities, or if the mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if the Company experienced substantially different repayment speeds in the loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that the Company may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to the Company’s loan, investment, deposit, or funding strategies.

The total number of shares repurchased during the periods indicated includes shares repurchased as part of the Company’s stock repurchase program and shares withheld for income tax purposes in connection with vesting of restricted stock. The shares were purchased or otherwise valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase and/or withholding.

(2)

On August 17, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a ~~new~~ stock repurchase program which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The ~~new stock repurchase program replaced and superseded the previous $40.0 million stock repurchase program which expired on October 27, 2022, under which approximately $1.6 million remained. The new~~ stock repurchase program will expire on August 16, 2024. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of its common stock, and other than repurchases that have been completed to date, there is no assurance that the Company will do so. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the Program’s expiration, without any prior notice.
