Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors which could cause actual results to differ from our expectations and which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below and elsewhere in this report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be significant to our business may also affect our actual results and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Business, Strategic, and Reputational Risks

A failure of, or interruption in, the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We rely heavily upon communications and information systems to conduct our business. Although we have built a level of redundancy into our information technology infrastructure and update our business continuity plan annually, any failure or interruption of our information systems, or the third-party information systems on which we rely, as a result of inadequate or failed processes or systems, human errors or external events, could adversely affect our digital-based operations and slow or temporarily halt the processing of applications, loan servicing, deposit-related transactions, and our general banking operations. In addition, our communication and information systems may present security risks and could be susceptible to hacking or other unauthorized access. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic conditions have affected and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and profits.

Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon favorable economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as recession, unemployment, trade wars and tariffs, changes in interest rates, inflation, money supply, and other factors beyond the Company’s control may adversely affect deposit levels, costs, loan demand and/or asset quality and, therefore, our earnings. Further, any economic downturn could result in financial stress on our borrowers that would adversely affect consumer confidence, a reduction in general business activity and increased market volatility. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the financial markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. Our ability to properly assess the creditworthiness of our customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure would be made more complex by difficult or rapidly changing market and economic conditions. Accordingly, if market conditions worsen, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies, net charge-offs and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.

The competitive nature of the banking and financial services industry could negatively affect our ability to increase or maintain our market share and retain long-term profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is strong. We compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, finance companies, fintechs, mutual funds, insurance companies and securities brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and nationwide. Some of our competitors have greater financial resources, name recognition and market presence than we do and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. Further, our credit union competitors benefit from competitive advantages, including the credit union exemption from paying federal income tax and can, therefore, more aggressively price many products and services. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability to increase our market share and remain profitable on a long-term basis.

11

Negative developments in the banking industry could adversely affect our current and future business operations and financial condition.

Bank failures and related negative media attention have caused significant market trading volatility among publicly traded bank and financial holding companies, particularly for regional and community banks. These developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in smaller banks, which could prompt customers to move their deposits to larger financial institutions. Further, competition for and costs of deposits has similarly increased, putting pressure on net interest margin.

From time to time, we may experience increased regulatory scrutiny – in the course of routine examinations and otherwise – and new regulations directed towards banks of similar size to the Bank designed to respond to negative developments in the banking industry and/or changing regulatory focus, all of which may increase our costs of doing business and reduce our profitability. Among other things, there may be increased focus by both regulators and investors on deposit composition, the level of uninsured deposits, brokered deposits, unrealized losses in securities portfolios, liquidity, CRE composition and concentration, capital, third party risk management and general oversight and control of the foregoing. The Bank could face increased scrutiny or be viewed as higher risk by regulators and/or the investor community due to changing regulatory focus and/or the failures of other financial institutions, which could negatively affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

Small Business Administration lending and other government guaranteed lending is an important part of our business. Our government guaranteed lending programs are dependent upon the U.S. federal government, and we face specific risks associated with originating SBA and other government guaranteed loans.

Our SBA lending program is dependent upon the U.S. federal government. As an approved participant in the SBA Preferred Lender’s Program (an "SBA Preferred Lender"), we enable our customers to obtain SBA loans without being subject to the potentially lengthy SBA approval process necessary for lenders that are not SBA Preferred Lenders. The SBA periodically reviews the lending operations of participating lenders to assess, among other things, whether the lender exhibits prudent risk management. When weaknesses are identified, the SBA may request corrective actions or impose enforcement actions, including revocation of the lender’s SBA Preferred Lender status. If we lose our status as an SBA Preferred Lender, we may lose some or all of our customers to lenders who are SBA Preferred Lenders, and as a result we could experience a material adverse effect to our financial results. Any changes to the SBA program, changes to program-specific rules impacting volume eligibility under the guaranty program, as well as changes to the program amounts authorized by Congress, may also have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, any default by the U.S. government on its obligations or any prolonged government shutdown could impede our ability to originate SBA loans or other government guaranteed loans or sell such loans in the secondary market, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Generally, we sell the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market. These sales result in premium income for us at the time of sale and create a stream of future servicing income, as we retain the servicing rights to these loans. For the reasons described above, we may not be able to continue originating these loans or sell them in the secondary market. Furthermore, even if we are able to continue to originate and sell SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market, we might not continue to realize premiums upon the sale of the guaranteed portion of these loans, or the premiums may decline due to economic and competitive factors. When we originate SBA loans, we incur credit risk on the non-guaranteed portion of the loans, and if a customer defaults on a loan, we share any loss and recovery related to the loan pro-rata with the SBA. If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by us, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us. Generally, we do not maintain reserves or loss allowances for such potential claims and any such claims could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The laws, regulations and standard operating procedures that are applicable to government guaranteed loan products may change in the future, particularly in light of the changes being made and scrutiny being given to government funded programs under the current U.S. presidential administration. We cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies and especially our organization, changes in the laws, regulations and procedures applicable to government guaranteed loans could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

12

Societal, legislative and regulatory responses to environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns, and anti-ESG concerns, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and anti-DEI concerns, could adversely affect our business and performance, including indirectly through impacts on our customers.

Our business faces increasing public, investor, activist, legislative and regulatory scrutiny related to ESG and anti-ESG, DEI and anti-DEI developments. We risk damage to our brand and reputation in certain sectors if we fail to act in response to ESG concerns, such as diversity, equity and inclusion, environmental stewardship, human capital management, support for our local communities, corporate governance and transparency, or fail to consider ESG factors in our business operations. Concerns over the long-term impacts of climate change have led and will likely continue to lead to global governmental efforts to mitigate those impacts. Consumers and businesses also may change their behavior and operations as a result of these concerns. The Company and its customers may need to respond to new laws and regulations as well as consumer and business preferences resulting from climate change concerns. We and our customers may face cost increases, asset value reductions and operating process changes. The impact on our customers will likely vary depending on their specific circumstances, including a significant presence in areas that are vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters that may be exacerbated by climate change, or reliance upon or a role in carbon intensive activities. Among the impacts to the Company could be a drop in demand for our products and services, particularly in certain sectors. In addition, we could face reductions in creditworthiness on the part of some customers or in the value of assets securing loans. Our efforts to take these risks into account may not be effective in protecting us from the negative impact of new laws and regulations or changes in consumer or business behavior. In response to ESG developments (including, in particular DEI initiatives), there are increasing instances of anti-ESG legislation and anti-DEI executive orders, adverse media coverage, regulation, and litigation that could have unintended impacts on ordinary banking operations and increase litigation or reputational risk related to actions we choose to take and impact the results of our operations. If legislatures in the states in which we operate adopt legislation intended to protect certain industries by limiting or prohibiting consideration of business and industry factors in lending activities, certain portions of our lending operations may be impacted.

New lines of business, and new products and services, may result in exposure to new risks; and the value and earnings related to existing lines of business are subject to market conditions.

The Bank has introduced, and in the future, may introduce new products and services to differing markets either alone or in conjunction with third parties, including programs and products introduced as part of our fintech partnership initiatives. New lines of business, products or services could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls or the controls of third parties and could reduce our revenues and potentially generate losses. There are material inherent risks and uncertainties associated with offering new products and services, especially when new markets are not fully developed or when the laws and regulations regarding a new product are not mature. New products and services, or entrance into new markets, are carefully scrutinized by regulatory agencies and may require substantial time, resources and capital, and profitability targets may not be achieved. Factors outside of our control, such as developing laws and regulations, regulatory orders, competitive product offerings and changes in commercial and consumer demand for products or services may also materially impact the successful launch and implementation of new products or services. Failure to manage these risks, or failure of any product or service offerings to be successful and profitable, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Significant external events, including continued spread or outbreak of a highly contagious disease, could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We could experience other external events such as severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest or widespread public health issues, including pandemics or epidemics caused by highly contagious or infectious disease, that could impair the ability of our customers to repay outstanding loans; impair the value of collateral, if any, securing outstanding loans; negatively impact our deposit base, loan originations or general demand for our services; cause significant property damage; result in loss of revenue or cause us to incur additional expenses or losses. We could also be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to external events affecting the places they live. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will completely mitigate the adverse impacts of any significant external event. The occurrence or continuation of any such event could materially adversely impact our business, our ability to provide our services, demand for our services, asset quality, financial condition and results of operations.

13

Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.

Provisions of Indiana law and provisions of our articles of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. We are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Additionally, our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval and such preferred stock could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal.

Although these provisions do not preclude a takeover, they may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or deferring a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. Such provisions will also render the removal of the Board of Directors and of management more difficult and, therefore, may serve to perpetuate current management. These provisions could potentially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Credit Risks

Our business depends on our ability to successfully manage credit risk.

The operation of our business requires us to manage credit risk. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our borrowers may be unable to repay their loans according to their terms, and that the collateral securing repayment of their loans, if any, may not be sufficient to ensure repayment. In addition, there are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks with respect to the period of time over which the loan may be repaid, risks relating to proper underwriting, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, including the risk that a borrower may not provide information to us about its business in a timely manner, and/or may present inaccurate or incomplete information to us, and risks relating to the value of collateral. In order to manage credit risk successfully, we must, among other things, maintain disciplined and prudent underwriting standards. The weakening of these standards for any reason, a lack of discipline or diligence in underwriting and monitoring loans, the inability to adequately adapt policies and procedures to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting borrowers and the quality of our loan portfolio, may result in defaults, foreclosures and additional charge-offs and may necessitate that we significantly increase our allowance for credit losses, each of which could adversely affect our net income. As a result, our inability to successfully manage credit risk could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our commercial loan portfolio exposes us to higher credit risks than residential real estate loans, including risks relating to the success of the underlying business and conditions in the market or the economy and concentrations in our commercial loan portfolio.

Our commercial loans totaled $2.9 billion, or 78.4% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025. These loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate loans and are dependent upon our lenders and service providers maintaining close relationships with the borrowers. Payments on these loans are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying business or assets, and repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. Commercial loans typically involve larger loan balances than residential real estate loans and could lead to concentration risks within our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, our C&I, specialty finance and small business loans have primarily been extended to small to medium-sized businesses that generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities.Our failure to manage this commercial loan growth and the related risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, with respect to CRE, federal and state banking regulators are examining CRE lending activity with heightened scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of CRE loans to implement more stringent underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for credit losses and capital levels as a result of CRE lending growth and exposures. If we were required to maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain, our ability to leverage our capital may be limited, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to risks arising from conditions in the real estate market, as a significant portion of our loans are secured by real estate.

At December 31, 2025, approximately 49.8% of our loans held for investment portfolio was comprised of commercial, residential mortgage and home equity loans with real estate as the primary component of collateral. Our real estate lending

14

activities, and our exposure to fluctuations in real estate collateral values, are significant and may increase as our assets increase. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a relatively short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located; in response to factors such as economic downturns and changes in the economic health of industries heavily concentrated in a particular area; and in response to changes in market interest rates, which influence capitalization rates used to value revenue-generating commercial real estate. If the value of real estate serving as collateral for our loans declines materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized and losses incurred upon borrower defaults would increase. Conditions in certain segments of the real estate industry, including homebuilding, lot development and mortgage lending, may have an effect on values of real estate pledged as collateral for our loans. The inability of purchasers of real estate, including residential real estate, to obtain financing may weaken the financial condition of our borrowers who are dependent on the sale or refinancing of property to repay their loans. Changes in the economic health of certain industries can have a significant impact on other sectors or industries which are directly or indirectly associated with those industries, and may impact the value of real estate in areas where such industries are concentrated.

If our allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual credit losses, our earnings could decrease.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities. The ACL represents the Bank’s best estimate of probable losses within the existing portfolio of loans and held-to-maturity debt securities. Additionally, related to off-balance-sheet credit exposures, we maintain a liability reserve account reported as an other liability in our balance sheet. The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on these financial instruments considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As a result, the determination of the appropriate level of the ACL inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates related to current and expected future credit risks and trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Continuing deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers; new information regarding existing loans and loan commitments; and identification of additional problem loans, ratings down-grades and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the ACL. In addition, if any charge-offs related to loans or off-balance sheet credit exposures in future periods exceed our ACL or reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures, we will need to recognize additional provision for credit losses. Material additions to the ACL would decrease our net income and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and capital.

Market, Interest Rate, and Liquidity Risks

The market value of some of our investments could decline and adversely affect our financial position.

In assessing the impairment of investment securities, we consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether we have the intent to sell the security or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We also use economic models to assist in the valuation of some of our investment securities. If our investment securities experience a decline in value, we would need to determine whether we would be required to record a write-down of the investment and a corresponding charge to our earnings.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s earnings depend substantially on the Company’s interest rate spread, which is the difference between (i) the rates the Bank earns on loans, securities, and other earning assets and (ii) the interest rates the Bank pays on deposits and other borrowings, and its costs of capital. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. If market interest rates rise, especially at the pace they did in 2022 and 2023, the Company will face competitive pressure to increase the rates the Bank pays on deposits, which could negatively affect net interest margin. In addition, the interest rate on the Company’s other subordinated debt have, and are scheduled to change in 2026, from fixed to floating rates. These changes could result in a decrease of net interest income. If market interest rates decline, the Bank could experience fixed-rate loan prepayments and higher investment portfolio cash flows, resulting in a lower reinvestment yield on earning assets. Earnings can also be impacted by the spread between short-term and long-term market interest rates.

15

The Bank may not be able to pay us dividends.

The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by state and federal law and depends generally on the Bank’s ability to generate net income. If we are unable to comply with applicable provisions of these statutes and regulations, the Bank may not be able to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to pay dividends on our outstanding common stock and our ability to service our debt may be materially impaired.

We may need additional funding resources in the future, and these funding resources may not be available when needed or at all, without which our financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially impaired.

As a part of our liquidity management, we use a number of funding sources in addition to core deposit growth and repayments and maturities of loans and investments. These sources include brokered deposits and FHLB advances. Further, in the past, we have raised additional capital in the public debt and equity markets to support balance sheet growth, refinance existing debt obligations, or explore strategic alternatives which may include additional asset, deposit or revenue generation channels. Our ability to source deposits and raise future capital, if needed, will depend upon our financial performance and conditions in the capital markets, as well as economic conditions generally. Further, if we need to raise capital in the future, we may have to do so when many other financial institutions are also seeking to raise capital and would then have to compete with those institutions for investors. Accordingly, such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The recognition of gains on the sale of loans and servicing asset valuations reflect certain assumptions.

We continue to expect that gains on the sale of U.S. government guaranteed loans will continue to comprise a significant component of our revenue. The determination of these gains is based on assumptions regarding the value of unguaranteed loans retained, servicing rights retained and deferred fees and costs, and net premiums paid by purchasers of the guaranteed portions of U.S. government guaranteed loans. The value of retained unguaranteed loans and servicing rights are determined based on market-derived factors such as prepayment rates, current market conditions and recent loan sales. Deferred fees and costs are determined using internal analysis of the cost to originate loans. Significant errors in assumptions used to compute gains on sale of loans or servicing asset valuations could result in material revenue misstatements, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and profitability. In addition, if such valuations are not reflective of fair market value, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The Company’s stock price can be volatile.

The Company’s stock price can fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, including without limitation: actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s quarterly operating results; recommendations by securities analysts; significant acquisitions or business combinations; strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company; new technology used or services offered by the Company’s competitors; news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the banking and financial services industry; and changes in government regulations. General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, including terrorist attacks, increased inflation, economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes, credit loss trends or currency fluctuations, could also cause the Company’s stock price to decrease, regardless of the Company’s operating results.

Operational Risks

Because our business is highly dependent on technology that is subject to rapid change and transformation, we are subject to risks of obsolescence.

The Bank conducts its deposit gathering activities and a significant portion of its lending activities through digital channels. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change, and we face constant evolution of customer demand for technology-driven financial and banking products and services. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvement and product development, marketing and implementation. Any failure to successfully keep pace with and fund technological innovation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

16

We rely on our management team and could be adversely affected by the unexpected loss of key officers.

Our future success and profitability are substantially dependent upon our management and the abilities of our senior executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business and lead to unauthorized disclosure of customers’ personal information, theft or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage to our reputation, and increases in our costs or financial losses.

We depend upon our ability to process, record and monitor our client transactions on a continuous basis. As customer, public and regulatory expectations regarding data privacy and information security have increased, our operational systems and infrastructure must continue to be safeguarded and monitored for potential failures, disruptions and breakdowns. Our business, financial, accounting and data processing systems, or other operating systems and facilities, may stop operating properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. For example, there could be electrical or telecommunications outages; natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes; pandemics; events arising from local or larger-scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and, as described below, cyber-attacks. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our business operations may be adversely affected by significant and widespread disruption to our physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business.

Information security risks for financial institutions such as ours have generally increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of digital technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists and other external parties. As noted above, our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks. Our business relies on digital technologies, computer and email systems, software and networks to conduct its operations. In addition, to access our products and services, our customers may use smartphones, tablets, personal computers and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we have information security procedures and controls in place, our technologies, systems, networks and our customers’ devices may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our or our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our or our customers’ or other third parties’ business operations.

Third parties with whom we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including financial intermediaries or vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to us, including from breakdowns or failures of their own systems or capacity constraints. Although to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, like other companies, we and our vendors face a wide range of ongoing cyber threats that include phishing emails and social engineering schemes, ransomware threats, and criminal re-use of credentials sold on the dark web. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer such material losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, company data, networks, and customer information from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a focus for us. As threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate information security vulnerabilities.

Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients, or cyber-attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our clients use to access our products and services, could result in client attrition, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, breach investigation and notification expenses, reputational damage, claims or litigation, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

17

Our business may be adversely affected by fraud.

As a financial institution, we are inherently exposed to risk in the form of theft and other fraudulent activities by customers, employees, or other third parties targeting us or our customers or data. Such activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering, spoofing, and other dishonest acts. Although we devote substantial resources to maintaining effective policies and internal controls to identify and prevent such incidents, given the increasing sophistication of possible perpetrators, we may experience financial losses or reputational harm as a result of fraud. Further, as a result of the increased sophistication of fraud activity, we continue to invest in systems, resources, and controls to detect and prevent fraud. This will result in continued ongoing investments and costs.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

We operate in a highly regulated environment, which could restrain our growth and profitability.

We are subject to extensive laws and regulations that govern almost all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework that oversees the administration of these laws and regulations, are primarily intended to protect depositors, the DIF, and the banking system as a whole, and not shareholders. These laws and regulations, among other matters, affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth. Compliance with the myriad laws and regulations applicable to our organization can be difficult and costly. In addition, these laws, regulations and policies are subject to continual review by governmental authorities, and changes to these laws, regulations and policies, including changes in interpretation, implementation, or priorities in enforcement of these laws, regulations and policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways and often impose additional compliance costs. The application of more stringent capital requirements for both the Company and the Bank could, among other things, result in lower returns on equity, require the raising of additional capital, and/or result in regulatory actions constraining us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares if we were to be unable to comply with such requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability.

Further, any new laws, rules and regulations could make compliance more difficult or expensive. All of these laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework applicable to our industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business, and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the DFI periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a federal or state banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of our operations had become unsatisfactory, or that we were in violation of any law or regulation, it may take a number of different remedial actions as it deems appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to commence a formal or informal enforcement action or issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in our capital, to restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties against our officers or directors, to remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate our deposit insurance and place us into receivership or conservatorship. Regulatory action against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase, which would reduce our profitability.

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by its risk classification, which is based on a number of factors, including regulatory capital levels, asset growth and asset quality. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the DIF, the FDIC may increase deposit insurance assessment rates and may charge a special assessment to FDIC-insured financial institutions. Further increases in assessment rates or special assessments may occur in the future, especially if there are significant additional financial institution failures. Any future special assessments, increases in assessment rates or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could reduce our profitability or limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

18

We are subject to numerous laws designed to protect consumers, including the CRA and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.

The CRA, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions. The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. A successful regulatory challenge to an institution’s performance under the CRA or fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, restrictions on expansion and restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to evolving and expensive regulations and requirements. Our failure to adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business.

We are subject to extensive regulation as a financial institution and are also required to follow the corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a company whose stock is registered under the Exchange Act and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Compliance with these requirements means we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Compliance also requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Although we have reviewed, and will continue to review, our disclosure controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or fraud in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system will be met. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.

We face risk under the BSA and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations, as well as general fund transfer and payments-related risk.

The BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the OFAC. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plans. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, financial institutions, including ourselves, bear fund transfer risks of different types which result from large transaction volumes and large dollar amounts of incoming and outgoing money transfers. Loss exposure may result if money is transferred from the Bank before it is received, or legal rights to reclaim monies transferred are asserted. Such exposure results from payments which are made to merchants for payment clearing, while customers have statutory periods to reverse their payments. It also results from funds transfers made prior to receipt of offsetting funds, as accommodations to customers. Transfers could also be made in error. Additionally, as with other financial institutions, we may incur legal liability or reputational risk, if we unknowingly process payments for companies in violation of money laundering laws or regulations or immoral activities.

Our introduction of new products and programs in partnership with fintechs has increased account and transaction volume at the Bank and thereby increased the foregoing risks, the results of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

19

We may be subject to potential liability and business risk from actions by our regulators related to supervision of third parties.

Our regulators and auditors have required us to increase the level and manner of our oversight of third parties that provide marketing and other services through which we offer products and services, whether in connection with our introduction of new programs and products, or otherwise. Although we have significant compliance staff and have used outside consultants, our internal and external compliance examiners continually evaluate our practices and must be satisfied with the results of our third-party oversight activities. We cannot assure you that we will satisfy all related requirements. Not maintaining a risk and compliance management system which is deemed adequate could result in sanctions or other action against the Bank. Our ongoing review and analysis of our compliance management system and implementation of any changes resulting from that review and analysis will likely result in increased non-interest expense.

Federal banking laws limit the acquisition, ownership and repurchase of our common stock.

Because we are a bank holding company, any purchaser of certain specified amounts of our common stock may be required to file a notice with or obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHCA, as amended, and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended. Specifically, under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, (1) any other bank holding company may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 5% or more of our common stock and (2) any person may be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our common stock. Further, recently enacted laws impose an excise tax on a public company’s repurchase of its own stock.

Changes in accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial condition and results of operations.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including the accounting rules and regulations of the SEC and the FASB, requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that impact our financial statements by affecting the value of our assets or liabilities and results of operations. Some of our accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because materially different amounts may be reported if different estimates or assumptions are used. If such estimates or assumptions underlying our financial statements are incorrect, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

From time to time, the FASB and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the interpretation of such standards that govern the preparation of our external financial statements. These changes are beyond our control, can be difficult to predict, may require extraordinary efforts or additional costs to implement and could materially impact how we report our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we may be required to apply a new or revised standard retrospectively, resulting in the restatement of prior period financial statements in material amounts.

Shares of our common stock are not insured deposits and may lose value.

Shares of our common stock are not savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any depository institution and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity, and are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

The costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters involving us or other financial institutions or counterparties, or related adverse facts and developments, could materially affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations, inquiries, or similar matters arising out of our business. Furthermore, litigation against banks tend to increase during economic downturns and periods of credit deterioration, which may occur or worsen as a result of current economic uncertainty. Most recently there has been an increase in class action lawsuits filed claiming deceptive practices or violations of account terms in connection with non-sufficient fees or overdraft charges. We manage these risks through internal controls, personnel training, insurance, litigation management, our compliance and ethics processes, and other means. However, the commencement, outcome, and magnitude of litigation cannot be predicted or controlled with any certainty.

20

We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the losses can be reasonably estimated. However, our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us and indemnification rights to which we are entitled may not be honored, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation significantly exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, premiums for insurance covering the financial and banking sectors are rising. We may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms or at historic rates, if at all.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C.Cybersecurity

The Company’s information security program is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information, including customer information. The program is comprised of policies, procedures, and programs, and is informed by and intended to align with the interagency guidance issued by banking regulators as well as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (the “Information Security Program”). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, but rather that we use the guidance to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We are a digital bank. As such, data security is a foundational pillar of our business strategy. We’ve therefore integrated our Information Security Program into the Enterprise Risk Management program, meaning it shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply to other areas of enterprise risk, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk. Key elements of our Information Security Program include:

•risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment are conducted on at least an annual basis;

•internal testing of our security controls and our response to cybersecurity incidents;

•the use of external service providers, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

•training and awareness programs for all employees that include periodic and ongoing assessments to drive adoption and awareness of cybersecurity processes and controls;

•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents;

•maintenance and regular testing of a Business Continuity Plan that includes redundant back-up systems for critical functions;

•a physical security program that is tested regularly;

•obtaining and maintaining cyber insurance; and

•a third-party risk management program for service providers, suppliers, and vendors, that provides for the assessment, monitoring and management of cybersecurity risk presented by the Company’s use of such third parties, as well as contractual protections related to cybersecurity incidents affecting third party vendors and service providers.

The Company engages in a continuous risk monitoring process that seeks to identify the likelihood and impact of internal and external threats to our information security systems and data and assesses the sufficiency of the controls in place to mitigate these threats to acceptable levels. Incidents are reported to and handled under our Incident Response Policy, which designates an incident response team and includes procedures and processes to identify, assess, respond to, mitigate and report on cybersecurity incidents.

In the last three fiscal years, the Company has not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents. Despite our efforts, there can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management processes and measures described will be fully implemented, complied with, or effective in protecting our systems and information. We face risks from certain cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, result of operations or financial condition. Please see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors for further discussion of the risks associated with an interruption or breach in our information systems or infrastructure.

21

Cybersecurity Governance

Our Board of Directors keeps apprised of and oversees technology risk and cybersecurity of the Company. The Board receives updates from the Company’s Chief Information Officer or Information Security Officer (“ISO”) on a quarterly basis and receives cybersecurity training on at least an annual basis.While the entire Board receives reporting and training, the Board has delegated certain specific responsibility for overseeing cybersecurity threats, among other things, to its Risk Committee.Our ISO and Chief Risk Officer provide the Risk Committee and the Company’s internal Enterprise Risk Management Committee periodic and as needed reports on our cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity incidents, if any.

The Risk Committee and the entire Board review and approve the Company’s information security policies and certain other relevant policies on at least an annual basis. Our ISO and Chief Information Officer, who share the responsibility of overseeing and managing the Information Security Program, collectively have decades of experience in the system, network, and cybersecurity space. The Chief Information Officer serves on the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, which is chaired by our Chief Risk Officer. They are supported by our team of technology professionals, who are responsible for information technology security monitoring and for managing the controls designed to identify, detect, protect against, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats and cybersecurity incidents.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

The Company’s common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “INBK.”

As of March 6, 2026, the Company had 8,716,662 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and there were 98 holders of record of common stock.

Dividends

Total cash dividends declared by the Company in 2025 were $0.24 per share. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any future cash dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions (including with respect to the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt), business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

Because the Company is a holding company and does not engage directly in business activities of a material nature, its ability to pay dividends to shareholders may depend, in large part, upon the receipt of distributions from the Bank, which is also subject to numerous limitations on the payment of dividends under federal and state banking laws, regulations and policies. The present and future ability of the Bank to distribute funds to the Company are subject to the discretion of the Board of the Directors of the Bank and the Bank is not obligated to pay any distributions to the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

The following discussion, analysis and comparisons generally focus on the operating results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Discussion, analysis and comparisons of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K can be found in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. See also the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.

Results of Operations

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $35.2 million, or $4.03 diluted loss per share, compared to net income of $25.3 million, or $2.88 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and net income of $8.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

The $60.4 million decrease in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was due primarily to an increase of $55.2 million, or 323.6%, in provision for credit losses, a decrease of $44.6 million, or 94.3%, in noninterest income and an increase of $4.9 million, or 5.5%, in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase of $26.4 million, or 30.2%, in net interest income and a decrease of $18.0 million in income tax expense.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of $851.2 million of single tenant lease financing loans recognizing a pre-tax loss of $38.2 million on the transaction. The transaction was executed as part of an initiative to strengthen the Company’s regulatory capital ratios and improve its interest rate risk position. While the loss on the transaction negatively impacted shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital, the transaction significantly reduced risk-weighted assets, resulting in a net positive effect on regulatory capital ratios. Furthermore, the loan sale reduced the Company’s interest rate risk profile by reducing exposure to longer-duration assets. Additionally, the Company expects the transaction to have a beneficial impact on key profitability metrics, such as net interest margin and return on average assets, in future periods.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, return on average assets (“ROAA”), return on average equity (“ROAE”) and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) were (0.60%), (9.15%) and (9.26%), respectively. Excluding the after tax net loss on the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, adjusted net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was $5.7 million, and adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.66. Additionally, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, adjusted ROAA, adjusted ROAE and adjusted ROATCE were (0.10%), (1.49%) and (1.51%), respectively.

The increase in net income of $16.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was due primarily to increases of $21.2 million, or 81.2%, in noninterest income and $12.5 million, or 16.7%, in net interest income, partially offset by increases of $10.7 million, or 13.4%, in noninterest expense, $5.7 million in income tax expense and $0.4 million, or 2.5%, in provision for credit losses.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, ROAA, ROAE and ROATCE were 0.46%, 6.70% and 6.78%, respectively. The Company recognized gains of $2.9 million from the termination of interest rate swap agreements and $1.8 million from the prepayment of FHLB advances, as well as expenses of $0.5 million in IT termination fees and $0.1 million in anniversary expenses. Adjusted for these items, net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $22.0 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.51. Additionally, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, adjusted ROAA, adjusted ROAE and adjusted ROATCE were 0.40%, 5.83% and 5.90%, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table illustrates the impact of changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and interest rates on net interest income for the periods indicated. The change in interest not due solely to volume or rate has been allocated in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income

(amounts in thousands) Volume Rate Net Volume Rate Net

Interest income

Interest expense

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $113.8 million, an increase of $26.4 million, or 30.2%, compared to $87.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net interest income was the result of a $28.3 million, or 9.7%, increase in total interest income to $320.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $291.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a $1.9 million, or 0.9%, increase in total interest expense to $206.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $204.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

The growth in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans, resulting from an increase of 30 bps in the yield earned on loans, as well as an increase of $225.7 million, or 5.6%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale. Additionally, the average balance of securities increased $149.0 million, or 19.3%, and the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 13 bps. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a 95 bp decrease in the yield on other earning assets. The increase in the yield earned on loans was driven by new originations throughout the year as the yield on funded portfolio originations was 7.31%, well above the overall loan portfolio yield. Additionally, the yield earned on the loan portfolio benefitted from the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, which had interest rates below the overall loan portfolio yield. The increase in the yield earned on securities was primarily driven by new securities purchases during the year, partially offset by the maturity of an interest rate swap designed to enhance the yield on certain municipal securities. The decrease in the yield earned on other earning assets was due mainly to the impact of decreases in the Fed Funds rates on cash balances held at the Federal Reserve.

The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to an increase of $25.6 million, or 244.6%, in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by decreases of $8.7 million, or 7.5%, in interest expense associated with certificates and brokered deposits, $5.6 million, or 10.9%, in interest expense associated with money market accounts and $3.4 million, or 15.7%, in interest expense associated with other borrowed funds. When combined with deposits formerly classified as fintech - brokered deposits, the increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to a 378 bp increase in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $516.3 million, or 81.2%, in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits was driven by a 39 bp decline in cost of these deposits, partially offset by a slight increase in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in the cost of funds was due to the combination of lower rates on new certificates of deposit production and using on-balance sheet liquidity to paydown higher-cost brokered deposits as they matured. The decrease in interest expense related to money

27

market accounts was driven primarily by a decrease of 49 bps in the cost of these deposits, partially offset by a slight increase in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in the cost of funds was due to the impact of decreases in the Fed Funds rate late in 2024 and in the second half of 2025. The decrease in interest expense related to other borrowed funds was driven by a decrease in the average balance of $207.2 million, or 32.9%, partially offset by an 87 bp increase in the cost of these funds. The decrease in the average balance of other borrowed funds was driven primarily by the early paydown of Federal Home Loan Bank advances late in 2024 as the Company deployed excess on-balance liquidity to reduce the size of the balance sheet and lower interest expense in future periods. The increase in the cost of the funds was due mainly to the cost of one issuance of subordinated debt repricing higher as its fixed-rate term expired in the third quarter of 2024 and converted to variable rate.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.01% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 1.65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 36 bps. On a fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, NIM was 2.09% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 1.74% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 35 bps. The increase in NIM and FTE NIM compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 reflects the combination of higher yields on loans and securities and continued improvement in the cost of funds related to deposits.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents noninterest income for the three most recent years.

Twelve Months Ended December 31,

Mortgage banking activities — — 76

Noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.7 million, representing a decrease of $44.6 million, or 94.3%, compared to $47.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the pre-tax loss of $38.2 million on the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, adjusted noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $40.9 million. Excluding the gain on termination of interest rate swaps of $2.9 million and the gain on prepayment of FHLB advances of $1.8 million, adjusted noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $42.6 million.

The decline in adjusted noninterest income of $1.7 million, or 3.9%, was due primarily to a decrease of $3.4 million, or 10.2%, in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in other noninterest income. During 2025, the Company recognized $29.4 million in gain of sales of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) guaranteed loans compared to $33.2 million in 2024. The decrease was due mainly to a decrease in sold loan volume as the Company implemented a process change in the second quarter 2025 to hold SBA loans held-for-sale longer before selling into the secondary market. This process change had a one quarter effect as gain on sale revenue reverted to normalized levels in the third quarter 2025. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily driven by higher fintech partnership revenue resulting from increased program management fees and higher payments volume.

28

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents noninterest expense for the three most recent years.

Twelve Months Ended December 31,

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $95.0 million, representing an increase of $4.9 million or 5.5%, compared to $90.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the IT termination fees of $0.5 million and anniversary expenses of $0.1 million, adjusted noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $89.5 million.

The decline in adjusted noninterest expense of $5.5 million, or 6.1%, was due primarily to increases of $2.2 million, or 19.4%, in premises and equipment, $1.4 million, or 21.9%, in other noninterest expense and $1.1 million, or 22.2%, in deposit insurance premium. The increase in premises and equipment was driven by higher software maintenance costs. The increase in other noninterest expense was due mainly to higher fintech volume activity and the increase in deposit insurance premium was due to changes in the composition of the loan portfolio.

29

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which expands income tax disclosure requirements to include additional information related to the rate reconciliation of our effective tax rates to statutory rates. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(amounts in thousands) Amount Percent

U.S. federal statutory tax rate $ (10,682) (21.0 %)

State and local income tax, net of federal tax effect 1 (1,189) (2.3 %)

Effect of:

Nontaxable or nondeductible items:

Income from tax-exempt securities and loans (3,497) (6.9 %)

1 The states that contribute to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in the category include Indiana and Florida for 2025.

The following table reconciles reported income tax provision (benefit) to that computed at the statutory federal tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with the guidance prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09.

December 31,

Statutory rate times pre-tax income $ 5,784 $ 1,037

(Subtract) add the tax effect of:

Income from tax-exempt securities and loans (3,500) (3,951)

State income taxes, net of federal tax effect 47 (30)

Bank-owned life insurance (262) (215)

Income tax provision (benefit) $ 2,266 $ (3,477)

We recognized an income tax benefit of $15.7 million in 2025, compared to an income tax provision of $2.3 million and an effective tax rate of 8.2% in 2024 and a benefit of $3.5 million in 2023. Our federal statutory tax rate was 21% in 2024. The variance from the federal statutory rate was due primarily to tax-exempt income. Interest income on certain loans or securities issued by governmental, municipal and not-for-profit entities, and earnings from bank-owned life insurance were the primary components of tax-exempt income. The income tax benefit recognized during 2025 also reflects the impact of a pre-tax loss of $38.2 million from the loss on the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans.

30

Financial Condition

The following table presents summary balance sheet data as of the end of the last two years.

(amounts in thousands) December 31,

Total assets decreased $166.2 million, or 2.9%, to $5.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $5.7 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by a decline in loans due to the single tenant lease financing loan sale and lower franchise finance balances, partially offset by higher investor commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and small business lending balances. Total liabilities declined $141.9 million, or 2.7%, to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025 compared to $5.4 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due mainly to a decrease in total deposits, as well as a decline in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Increased liquidity from growth in fintech partnership deposits allowed the Company to pay down higher cost brokered deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank throughout 2025. Additionally, following the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, the Company moved a significant amount of fintech deposits off-balance sheet in order to manage the overall size of the balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2025, total shareholders’ equity was $359.8 million, a decrease of $24.3 million, or 6.3%, compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was due primarily to the net loss during 2025, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss as unrealized losses on securities declined during the year. Tangible common equity totaled $355.1 million as of December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $24.3 million, or 6.4%, compared to December 31, 2024. The ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets decreased to 6.46% as of December 31, 2025 from 6.69% as of December 31, 2024 and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets decreased to 6.38% as of December 31, 2025 from 6.62% as of December 31, 2024.

Book value per common share decreased 6.5% to $41.41 as of December 31, 2025 from $44.31 as of December 31, 2024. Tangible book value per share decreased 6.6% to $40.87 as of December 31, 2025 from $43.77 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in both book value per common share and tangible book value per common share was driven primarily by the decreases in total shareholders’ equity and tangible common equity.

Loan Portfolio Analysis

The following table provides information regarding our loan portfolio as of the end of the last two years.

December 31,

Commercial loans

Consumer loans

Allowance for credit losses - loans (55,686) (44,769)

1 Balances include $52.2 million and $34.0 million that are guaranteed by the U.S. government as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

2 Includes carrying value adjustments of $19.1 million and $22.9 million related to terminated interest rate swaps associated with public finance loans as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Total loans were $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $423.9 million, or 10.2%, compared to December 31, 2024. Total commercial loan balances were $2.9 billion, as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $400.5 million, or 12.0%, from December 31, 2024. Total consumer loan balances were $783.3 million as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $18.1 million, or 2.3%, compared to December 31, 2024. Compared to December 31, 2024, the decrease in commercial loan balances was driven by the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, planned run-off in the franchise finance and healthcare finance portfolios and a decline in the fixed rate public finance portfolio. The decreases were partially offset by increases in investor commercial real estate, which was driven by completed construction projects that were moved to investor commercial real estate upon entering their stabilization period, as well as growth in the commercial and industrial and small business lending portfolios. The slight decrease in consumer loan balances was due primarily to expected run-off in the residential mortgage portfolio, partially offset by origination activity in the other consumer loans portfolio.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority

Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank. Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their lending experience and product type. Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple approvals may be required. Based on the Bank’s legal lending limit, the maximum it could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2025 was $70.4 million.

Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfolio. In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish concentration limits by borrower, product type, industry and geography. To supplement our internal loan review resources, we have engaged independent third-party loan review groups, which are a key component of our overall risk management process related to credit administration.

1 Balances include $13.6 million and $4.9 million that are guaranteed by the U.S. government as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

A loan is individually evaluated, when, based on current information or events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not individually evaluated. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be individually evaluated. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. The

34

accrual of interest on individually evaluated loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.

Individually evaluated loans include nonperforming loans and may also include loans where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Nonperforming loans are comprised of total nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other nonperforming assets, which consist of repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets could also include individual securities for which a credit loss has been recognized; however, we did not own any securities classified as such during the two-year period ended December 31, 2025.

Total nonperforming loans increased $30.1 million, or 106.0%, to $58.5 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $28.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due primarily to an increase in nonperforming loans in the franchise finance and small business lending portfolios during the year. Total nonperforming assets increased $32.5 million, or 112.3%, to $61.4 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $28.9 million as of December 31, 2024, due primarily to the aforementioned increase in nonperforming loans and an increase in OREO related to small business lending. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had three small business lending properties in OREO with a carrying value of $2.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had one residential mortgage property in OREO with a carrying value of $0.3 million.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The following table provides a rollforward of the ACL on loans by loan portfolio segment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one segment does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments.

Net charge-offs to average loans 1.45 % 0.32 %

The determination of the ACL and the related provision for credit losses are components of our significant accounting policies as discussed within Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. The adequacy of the ACL and the provision are based on the review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflect management’s assessment of the risks and potential losses within the portfolio. This evaluation uses a discounted cash flow analysis based on historical loss data, reasonable and supportable forecasts and prepayment rates, as well as qualitative factors such as economic and business conditions, portfolio growth, concentrations of credit in the portfolio, trends in risk grades, delinquencies within the portfolio and changes in our lending policies and practices.

Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the ACL. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the ACL, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from those in the assumptions used to determine the size of the ACL.

36

The ACL was $55.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $44.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in the ACL reflects updated assumptions to the Company’s CECL model, including updates that significantly increased the ACL related to small business lending, as well as additional specific reserves related to franchise finance loans that were placed on nonaccrual during the year, partially offset by the removal of specific reserves for small business lending and franchise finance loans that were charged off. Furthermore, the ACL as a percentage of total loans was impacted by lower total loan balances following the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 1.49% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2024. The ACL as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 95.1% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 157.5% as of December 31, 2024, as the increase in nonperforming loans outweighed the increase in the ACL.

The provision for credit losses - loans was $71.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $18.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the provision for credit losses - loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was driven primarily by the net charge-offs and the increase in the ACL related to small business lending and the additional specific reserves related to franchise finance discussed above, partially offset by the decrease in the ACL resulting from the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans mentioned above and by the decrease in specific reserves related to small business lending and franchise finance loans that were charged off.

Investment Securities Portfolio

In managing our investment securities portfolio, management focuses on providing an adequate level of liquidity and managing long-term interest rate risk, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking undue credit risk. Investment securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as “trading securities.” We did not classify any securities as trading securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Securities that we intend to hold until maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” securities, and all other investment securities are classified as “available-for-sale.” The carrying values of available-for-sale investment securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income.

We periodically evaluate each security in an unrealized loss position to determine if there is an impairment. As of December 31, 2025, the unrealized losses in our investment securities portfolio were due primarily to interest rate changes. We have the ability and intent to hold all investment securities in an unrealized loss position resulting from interest rate changes to the earlier of the forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we did not have any investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity. The term “issuer” excludes the U.S. Government and its sponsored agencies and corporations.

Agency mortgage-backed securities - residential 203,715 184,412

Agency mortgage-backed securities - commercial 4,720 4,548

The approximate fair value of investment securities available-for-sale increased $191.3 million, or 32.6%, to $778.7 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $587.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to increases of $119.8 million in agency mortgage-backed securities - residential, $77.9 million in private label mortgage-backed securities - residential and $18.7 million in asset-backed securities, partially offset by decreases of $19.1 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies securities and $4.9 million in agency mortgage-backed securities - commercial. The Company deployed liquidity during 2025 primarily into new purchases of available-for-sale variable-rate mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, which was partially offset by net pay down activity in other security types. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had securities with a net carrying value of $250.6 million designated as held-to-maturity compared to $249.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The slight increase was due primarily to purchases of CRA-eligible agency mortgage-backed securities - residential made in the first quarter 2025, which was partially offset by net paydown activity of corporate and municipal securities.

Investment Maturities

The following table summarizes the contractual maturity schedule (without regard to repricing schedules) of our investment securities at their amortized cost and their weighted average yields at December 31, 2025.

1 Weighted-average yields are calculated on a fully-taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory rate of 21% for 2025.

Accrued Income and Other Assets

Accrued income and other assets increased $26.1 million, or 41.4%, to $89.1 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $63.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to increases of $14.5 million in deferred tax assets and $10.4 million in equity investments.

Deposits

The following table presents the composition of our deposit base as of the end of the last two years.

December 31,

Total deposits decreased $93.4 million, or 1.9%, to $4.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2024. This decrease was due primarily to decreases of $287.7 million, or 51.1%, in brokered deposits and $128.5 million, or 6.0%, in certificates of deposits, partially offset by increases of $224.2 million, or 25.0%, in interest-bearing demand deposits, $89.1 million, or 7.5%, in money market accounts and $10.4 million, or 7.6%, in noninterest-bearing deposits. The Company experienced strong growth in fintech partnership deposits during 2025, driving the increases in interest-bearing demand and noninterest-bearing deposits. The strong growth, combined with liquidity from the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, provided the ability to pay down maturing higher-cost brokered deposits and certificates of deposit. Additionally, following the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, the Company moved a significant amount of fintech partnership deposits off-balance sheet in order to manage the size of the balance sheet and improve profitability and balance sheet metrics. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $859.9 million of fintech deposits on-balance sheet and $1.1 billion of deposits off-balance sheet, providing flexibility for future funding and liquidity needs.

Uninsured deposit balances represented 33% of total deposits at December 31, 2025, up from 25% at December 31, 2024. These balances include Indiana-based municipal deposits, which are insured by the Indiana Board for Depositories, as well as larger balance accounts under contractual agreements that only allow withdrawal under certain conditions. After

39

subtracting these types of deposits, the adjusted uninsured deposit balance drops to 27% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 20% as of December 31, 2024.

The following tables present contractual interest rates paid on time deposits and brokered deposits, their scheduled maturities, and the scheduled maturities for time deposits greater than $250,000.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Although deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for general business purposes, we may use short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the “FHLB”) to manage liquidity needs and longer-term advances to supplement deposit growth and manage interest rate risk. The following table is a summary of FHLB borrowings for the periods indicated.

At or For The Twelve Months Ended December 31,

Maximum outstanding at any month end during period 557,241 614,934

Weighted average interest rate at end of period 3.56 % 3.39 %

Weighted average interest rate during period 3.67 % 2.93 %

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $2.6 million, or 14.4%, to $15.4 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $3.0 million in accrued salary and benefits and $1.1 million in other accrued expenses, partially offset by increases of $1.1 million in unfunded commitments and $0.4 million in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments

40

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company may supplement deposit growth and enhance interest rate risk management through borrowings and wholesale funding, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and brokered deposits.

The Company holds cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments. At December 31, 2025, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale, and $108.6 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for our cash needs. Importantly, the Company also had access to an additional $1.1 billion in the form of off-balance sheet deposits sold into the IntraFi deposit network. In addition, the Company can generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At December 31, 2025, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $1.7 billion from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At December 31, 2025, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $14.5 million in cash generally available for its cash needs, which is in excess of its current annual regular shareholder dividend and operating expenses.

The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2025, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, amounted to $617.6 million. Certificates of deposits and brokered certificates of deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2025 totaled $1.4 billion.

At December 31, 2025, capital ratios for the Company and the Bank were above regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions. Refer to “Note 14: Regulatory Capital Requirements” for additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements.

Management is not aware of any other events or regulatory requirements that, if implemented, are likely to have a material effect on either the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity.

Thefollowing table presents the Company’s significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025.

Payments Due In

1 Amounts do not include associated interest payments.

On December 19, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase authorization expired on December 31, 2024. Under the program, the Company repurchased 559,522 shares of common stock, at an average price of $19.06, for a total investment of $10.7 million.

41

On October 20, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Under the program, the Company repurchased 27,998 shares of common stock, at an average price of $18.64, for a total investment of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The stock repurchase authorization is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2027.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, total interest income - FTE, net interest income - FTE, net interest margin - FTE, adjusted total revenue, pre-provision net revenue, adjusted pre-provision net revenue, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted (loss) income before income taxes, adjusted income tax (benefit) provision, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are used by the Company's management to measure the strength of its capital and analyze profitability, including its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. The Company also believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present total interest income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as those measures provide useful information for peer comparisons. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following tables for the last three completed fiscal years ended on December 31.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

ACL - Loans

Management considers the policies related to the ACL- loans to be critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses on loans includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ACL for loans represents management's estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected life of the Company’s existing loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When the Company is unable to forecast future economic events, management may revert to historical information.

Accrued interest receivable on loans is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest deemed uncollectible will be written off through interest income.

ACL - Loans - Collectively Evaluated

The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist.

The Company utilized a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate the quantitative portion of the allowance for credit losses for loans evaluated on a collective pooled basis. For each segment, a loss driver analysis was performed in order to identify loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows.

In creating the DCF model, the Company has established a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average for most segments. Due to its limited loss history, the Company elected to use peer data for a more reasonable calculation.

Key inputs into the DCF model include loan-level detail, including the amortized cost basis of individual loans, payment structure, loss history, and forecasted loss drivers. The Company utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are assessed quarterly considering the scenarios in the context of the current economic environment and loss risk.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and adjusted for prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes extensions, renewals, and modifications unless the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Additional key assumptions in the DCF model include the probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”), and prepayment/curtailment rates. The Company utilizes the model-driven PD and a LGD derived from a method referred to as Frye Jacobs. The Frye Jacobs method is a mathematical formula that traces the relationship between LGD and PD over time and projects the LGD based on the level of PD forecasted. In all cases, the Frye Jacobs method is utilized to calculate LGDs during the forecast period, reversion period and long-term historical average. Prepayment and curtailment rates were calculated through third party analysis of the Company’s own data.

Qualitative factors for the DCF and weighted-average remaining maturity methodologies include the following:

•Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collections, charge-offs and recovery practices

•Changes in international, national, regional and local conditions

•Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans

•Changes in the experience, depth and ability of lending management

•Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions

•Changes in the quality of the organization’s loan review system

•Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans

•The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations

48

•The effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses

ACL - Loans - Individually Evaluated

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. The Company has determined that any loans which have been placed on nonaccrual status will be individually evaluated. Individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for loans, if necessary. Specific reserves on nonaccrual loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans, adjusted for selling costs as necessary.

ACL - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance on off-balance sheet credit exposure is recorded as a liability and adjusted as a provision for 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 its estimated life. Funding rates are based on a historical analysis of the Company’s portfolio, while estimates of credit losses are determined using the same loss rates as funded loans.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into financial transactions to extend credit, engage in interest rate swaps or other forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. Interest rate swaps were arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment and were classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges were purchased to convert certain fixed rate assets to floating rate. Cash flow hedges were used to convert certain variable rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no interest rate swaps that were classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about derivative financial instruments.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk, which can be defined as the risk to earnings and the value of our equity resulting from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. We seek to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates.

We monitor the Company’s interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. We use EVE sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process, especially those pertaining to non-maturity deposit accounts. These assumptions are reviewed and refined on an ongoing basis by the Company. We continually model our NII and EVE positions with various interest rate scenarios and assumptions of future balance sheet composition. We utilize implied forward rates as its base case scenario which reflects market expectations for rate changes over the next 24 months. Presented below is the estimated impact on our NII and EVE position as of December 31, 2025, assuming a static balance sheet and instantaneous parallel shifts in interest rates:

% Change from Base Case for Instantaneous Parallel Changes in Rates

To supplement the instantaneous rate shocks required by regulatory guidance, we also calculate our interest rate risk position assuming a gradual change in market interest rates. This gradual change is commonly referred to as a “rate ramp” and evenly allocates a change in interest rates over a specified time period.

Presented below is the estimated impact on our NII and EVE position as of December 31, 2025, assuming a static balance sheet and gradual parallel shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period:

% Change from Base Case for Gradual Changes in Rates

50

The NII and EVE figures presented in both tables above are reflective of a static balance sheet, and do not incorporate either balance sheet growth or strategies to increase net interest income while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates. As such, it is likely that actual results will differ from what is presented in the tables above. Balance sheet strategies to achieve such objective may include:

•Increasing the proportion of low-duration or variable-rate loans to total loans, including organic growth in SBA,

construction or C&I lending

•Selling longer-term fixed rate loans

•Increasing the proportion of lower cost non-maturity deposits to total deposits

•Extending the duration of wholesale funding

•Executing derivative strategies to synthetically extend liability or shorten asset duration

•Repositioning the investment portfolio to manage its duration

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 23 headings are on that chain and 17 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
