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

Overview

We are a bank holding company and are headquartered in Washington Township, New Jersey. Through the Bank, we provide personal and business financial services to individuals and small to mid-sized businesses primarily in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. The Bank has branches in Galloway Township, Northfield, Washington Township, and Collingswood, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The vast majority of our revenue and income is currently generated through the Bank.

We manage our Company for the long term. We are focused on the fundamentals of growing customers, loans, deposits and revenue and improving profitability, while investing for the future and managing risk, expenses and capital. We continue to invest in our products, markets and brand, and embrace our commitments to our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities where we do business. Our approach is concentrated on organically growing and deepening client relationships across our businesses that meet our risk/return measures.

We focus on small to mid - sized business and retail customers and offer a range of loan products, deposit services, and other financial products through our retail branches and other channels. The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest earning-assets and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. In our operations, we have three major lines of lending: residential real estate mortgage, commercial real estate mortgage, and construction lending. Our interest income is primarily generated from our lending and investment activities. Our deposit products include checking, savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. The majority of our deposit accounts are obtained through our retail banking business, which provides us with low cost funding to grow our lending efforts. The Company also generates income from loan and deposit fees and other non-interest related activities. The Company's non-interest expense primarily consists of employee compensation, administration, and other operating expenses.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2025, we had total assets of $2.25 billion, total liabilities of $1.92 billion, and total shareholders' equity of $324.5 million. Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $37.8 million. In 2025, net income available to common shareholders increased 37.3% over the previous year primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. At December 31, 2025, total assets increased 5.0% and total equity increased 8.1%, compared to December 31, 2024. Our risk based tier 1 capital ratio was 20.5% at December 31, 2025. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 we returned $8.4 million of capital to our common shareholders through cash dividends, and we repurchased 300,000 common stock shares at a total cost of $6.5 million.

Our business operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our operating results. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. There continues to be various other risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s businesses and future results, such as changes to the economic conditions in the United States, market interest rates, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, other government policies, and actions of regulatory agencies. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" above for further information about risks and uncertainties that could affect our operating results.

Results of Operations

Net Income

We recorded net income available to common shareholders of $37.8 million or $3.20 per basic common share and $3.16 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $27.5 million, or $2.30 per basic common share and $2.27 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $10.3 million or 37.3%.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $17.8 million, or 30.2%, to $76.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $58.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $17.6 million, and a decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million. Interest income for 2025 increased to $142.7 million, an increase of $17.6 million, or 14.0%, from $125.1 million for 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $17.4 million, or 14.7%. Interest and fees on loans increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, due to higher average outstanding loan balances and higher market interest rates. Interest expense decreased to $66.2 million for 2025, from $66.4 million for 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.3%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease interest on borrowings, a decrease in borrowing levels and a decrease in market interest rates. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits during the year ended December 31, 2025, due to a change in the deposit mix.

Comparative Average Balances, Yields and Rates

The following table presents the average daily balances of assets, liabilities and equity and the respective interest earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as average annualized rates, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average earning assets. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances and have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Net interest income and the net interest margin in any one period can be significantly affected by a variety of factors including the mix and overall size of our earning assets portfolio and the cost of funding those assets. We expect net interest income and our net interest margin to fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for credit losses

Our provision for credit losses in each period is driven by net charge-offs and changes to the allowance for credit losses. We recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.5 million and $0.7 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses as a percentage of interest income was 1.74% and 0.58% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our provision for credit losses increased by $1.8 million in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in loss rates. Additionally, the provision for unfunded commitments decreased slightly at December 31, 2025, from the prior year. For more information about our provision and allowance for credit losses and our loss experience, see “Risk Management and Asset Quality-Allowance for Credit Losses” and NOTE 4. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-interest Income

The table below shows the components of non-interest income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(Dollars in thousands)

Non-interest income decreased by $0.9 million to $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in other income as a result of a decrease in one-time insurance payments and settlements received in 2024.

The fee income for the year ended December 31, 2025 from the commercial deposit accounts of depositors who do business in the cannabis industry totaled $0.9 million and is included in service fees on deposit accounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Such deposit fee income totaled $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. Please refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for our banking services to customers who do business in the cannabis industry.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table displays the components of non-interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(Dollars in thousands)

Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million to $28.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $26.0 million for 2024 primarily due to an increase in professional services of $0.7 million, an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $0.5 million, and an increase in other operating expense of $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in OREO expense of $0.2 million. The increase in professional services during the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in legal fees. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries of $0.4 million, and a $0.1 million decrease in deferred loan origination costs attributable to a reduction in the number of loans originated.

Table of Contents

Income Tax

Income tax expense increased $2.8 million to $11.6 million on income before taxes of $49.4 million for 2025, compared to income tax expense of $8.8 million on income before taxes of $36.3 million for 2024. The effective income tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were 23.5% and 24.2%, respectively.

Financial Condition

General

At December 31, 2025, the Company’s total assets were $2.25 billion, an increase of $107.2 million or 5.0%, from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in gross loans outstanding, and an increase in banked owned life insurance ("BOLI"), partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Gross loans increased $167.1 million, to $2.04 billion at December 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in the CRE non-owner occupied loan portfolio of $107.0 million, an increase in the construction portfolio loan balance of $63.0 million, and an increase in the CRE owner occupied loan portfolio balance of $22.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in the residential 1 - 4 family investment portfolio balance of $29.9 million. BOLI increased $6.3 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the purchase of additional insurance policies. The increase in assets was partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $64.7 million, or 29.2%, from December 31, 2024.

Total liabilities were $1.92 billion at December 31, 2025. This represented a $82.8 million, or 4.5%, increase from $1.84 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total liabilities was primarily due to an increase in deposits, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings. Total deposits increased $127.6 million, or 7.8%, to $1.76 billion at December 31, 2025, from $1.63 billion at December 31, 2024. Deposits from the cannabis industries decreased to $61.9 million at December 31, 2025, from $151.9 million at December 31, 2024. Total borrowings were $143.4 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $44.9 million, compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to the repayment of $30.0 million of subordinated debt, and a decrease in FHLB advances of $15.0 million.

Total equity was $324.5 million and $300.1 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, an increase of $24.4 million from December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $64.7 million to $156.9 million at December 31, 2025, from $221.5 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of 29.2%. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in loans, and a decrease in borrowings, partially offset by an increase in deposits.

Investment securities

Total investment securities decreased to $13.5 million at December 31, 2025, from $14.8 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million or 8.4%. The decrease was primarily due to pay downs of $1.7 million, partially offset by the purchase of a $0.5 million corporate security.

Loans, net unearned income

Loans receivable increased to $2.04 billion at December 31, 2025, from $1.87 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the CRE non-owner occupied loan portfolio of $107.0 million, an increase in the construction portfolio loan balance of $63.0 million, and an increase in the CRE owner occupied loan portfolio balance of $22.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in the residential 1 - 4 family investment portfolio balance of $29.9 million.

Allowance for credit losses

Allowance for credit losses increased $2.1 million, to $34.6 million, or 6.4%, at December 31, 2025, from $32.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the portfolio balance, and an increase in specific reserves for individually evaluated loans, partially offset by a decrease in historical loss rates.

Deposits

At December 31, 2025, the Bank’s total deposits increased to $1.76 billion from $1.63 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $127.6 million, or 7.8%. The increase in deposits was primarily attributed to an increase in money market deposits of $130.5 million, interest checking deposits of $49.4 million, and non-interest checking of $12.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in brokered time deposits of $41.9 million, time deposits of $11.4 million, and savings deposits of $11.4 million. Brokered interest checking deposits, included in the above balances, increased $45.0 million at December 31, 2025, from zero at December 31, 2024.

Borrowings

At December 31, 2025, total borrowings decreased $44.9 million to $143.4 million, from $188.3 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in borrowings was primarily due to the repayment of $30.0 million of subordinated debt, and a decrease in FHLB advances of $15.0 million.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $324.5 million at December 31, 2025, from $300.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $24.4 million or 8.1%. The increase in total shareholders' equity was primarily due to the retention of earnings from the period, partially offset by the recognition of $8.5 million of cash dividends, and repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock in the amount of $6.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to generate cash to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, satisfy other contractual obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2025, our cash position was $156.9 million. We invest cash that is in excess of our immediate operating needs primarily in our interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve.

Our primary source of funding has been deposits. Funds from other operations, financing arrangements, investment securities available-for-sale also provide significant sources of funding. The Company seeks to rely primarily on core deposits from customers to provide stable and cost-effective sources of funding to support loan growth. We focus on customer service which we believe has resulted in a history of customer loyalty. Stability, low cost and customer loyalty comprise key characteristics of core deposits.

We also use brokered deposits as a funding source. The Bank joined the IntraFi network to secure an additional alternative funding source. IntraFi provides the Bank an additional source of external funds through their weekly CDARS® settlement process, as well as their ICS® money market product. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $56.6 million of brokered deposits from IntraFi. Additionally, we have access to other brokered deposit funding sources that we utilize as a source of additional liquidity. In addition to IntraFi, we utilize Piper Sandler, Wells Fargo, and Stonecastle to obtain brokered deposits, and as of December 31, 2025, the Company had $158.7 million sourced from these broker relationships. While deposit accounts comprise the vast majority of our funding needs, we maintain secured borrowing lines with the FHLBNY and the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). At December 31, 2025, the Company had a $611.8 million line of credit from the FHLBNY, of which $130.0 million was outstanding, $75.0 million was a letter of credit to secure public deposits, and $406.8 million was unused. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a borrowing capacity through the FRB discount window of $391.3 million. There were no outstanding balances with the FRB as of December 31, 2025.

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed available for sale securities issued by US government agency and government sponsored entities. These available for sale securities are readily marketable and are available to meet our additional liquidity needs. At December 31, 2025, the Company's investment securities portfolio classified as available for sale was $4.7 million.

We had unused loan commitments of $158.3 million at December 31, 2025. Our loan commitments are normally originated with the full amount of collateral. Such commitments have historically been drawn at only a fraction of the total commitment. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The funding requirements for such commitments occur on a measured basis over time and would be funded by normal deposit growth.

Capital Adequacy

Consistent with the goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, the Company and Bank actively seeks to maintain their status as well-capitalized in accordance with regulatory standards. As of December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital compliance.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the composition and maturity configurations of earning assets and funding sources. The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady growth of our primary earnings component, net interest income. Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements. To lessen the impact of interest rate movements, management endeavors to structure the balance sheet so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate sensitivity.

Table of Contents

The measurement of our interest rate sensitivity, or "gap," is one of the principal techniques used in asset/liability management. Interest sensitive gap is the dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest-rate pricing within a given time period, including both floating rate or adjustable rate instruments and instruments that are approaching maturity.

Our management and the Board of Directors oversee the asset/liability management function through the asset/liability committee of the Board that meets periodically to monitor and manage the balance sheet, control interest rate exposure, and evaluate our pricing strategies. The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the various funding sources.

In theory, interest rate risk can be diminished by maintaining a nominal level of interest rate sensitivity. In practice, this is made difficult by a number of factors, including cyclical variation in loan demand, different impacts on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities when interest rates change, and the availability of funding sources. Accordingly, we undertake to manage the interest-rate sensitivity gap by adjusting the maturity of and establishing rates on the earning asset portfolio and certain interest-bearing liabilities commensurate with management's expectations relative to market interest rates. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize our overall interest rate risk.

The interest rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 2025 is presented in the following table. Assets and liabilities are scheduled based on maturity or re-pricing data except for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which are based on prevailing prepayment assumptions and expected maturities and deposits which are based on recent retention experience of core deposits. The difference between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, is shown at the bottom of the table.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet, or may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and other commitments. These transactions are primarily designed to meet the financial needs of our customers.

We enter into commitments to lend funds to customers, which are usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. When we make commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. However, the maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being used by the customer. In addition, we manage the potential risk in commitments to lend by limiting the total amount of commitments, by monitoring maturity structure of these commitments and by applying the same credit standards for these commitments as for all of our credit activities.

For commitments to lend, we generally require collateral or a guarantee. We may require various types of collateral, including accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. Collateral requirements for each loan or commitment may vary based on the commitment type and our assessment of a customer’s credit risk according to the specific credit underwriting, including credit terms and structure.

Commitments to extend credit, or net unfunded loan commitments, represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual conditions. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, may require payment of a fee, and contain termination clauses in the event the customer’s credit quality deteriorates. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unused commitments to extend credit amounted to approximately $158.3 million and $122.5 million, respectively. Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans were immaterial at December 31, 2025. Variable-rate commitments are generally issued for less than one year and carry market rates of interest. Such instruments are not likely to be affected by annual rate caps triggered by rising interest rates. Management believes that off-balance sheet risk is not material to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, standby letters of credit with customers were $0.6 million.

At December 31, 2025, we had contractual obligations primarily relating to commitments to extend credits, deposits, secured and unsecured borrowings, and operating leases. We have adequate resources to fund all unfunded commitments to the extent required and meet all contractual obligations as they come due. Please refer to Notes 6, 7, 9, and 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information regarding our contractual obligations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements included in this document have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturities of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation on earnings, as distinct from levels of interest rates, is in the area of non-interest expense. Expense items such as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made. We are unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Our allowances for credit losses represents management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in our investment and loan portfolios, excluding those loans accounted for under fair value. Refer to Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Our determination of the allowance for credit losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan and lease portfolios and other relevant factors, broken down into vintage based on year of origination. These critical estimates include significant use of our own historical data and other qualitative, and quantitative data. These evaluations are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates and may be susceptible to significant change. Our allowance for credit losses is comprised of two components, a specific allowance and a general calculation. A specific allowance is calculated for loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, and include collateral dependent loans. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when foreclosure of the underlying collateral is probable. Parke has elected to apply the practical expedient to measure expected credit losses of a collateral dependent asset using the fair value of the collateral, less any estimated costs to sell, when foreclosure is not probable but repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The general based component covers loans and leases on which there are expected credit losses that are not yet individually identifiable. The allowance calculation and determination process is dependent on the use of key assumptions. Key reserve assumptions and estimation processes react to and are influenced by observed changes in loan portfolio performance experience, the financial strength of the borrower, projected industry outlook, and economic conditions. One key assumption in the vintage model is the underlying prepayment speeds, which is derived by the average loan life within the various pools. To provide a sensitivity of the impact to the ACL estimate, management adjusted the average lives of the vintage pools, by both increasing and decreasing the prepayment speeds by 20%, which provided an estimated range of impact between $0.9 million for a lower prepayment speed and $(1.7) million for a higher prepayment speed. This range was deemed immaterial to the overall ACL reserve balance.

The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of judgment. To the extent actual outcomes differ from our estimates, additional provision for loan and lease losses may be required that would reduce future earnings.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Parke Bancorp, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024; the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the years then ended; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).

The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025, and the associated ACL was $34.6 million. As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements, the calculation of the ACL requires significant judgment about the expected future losses, which is based on a base loss projection determined through a historical vintage loss rate analysis, which is then adjusted for current qualitative conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management applies these qualitative adjustments to the base loss projection to reflect changes in the current and forecasted environment, both internal and external, that are different from the conditions that existed during the historical loss calculation period. The qualitative adjustments include analysis of items related to economic conditions, credit quality indicators within the loan portfolio, and other internal and external factors.

We identified these qualitative adjustments within the ACL as critical audit matters because they involve a high degree of subjectivity. While the determination of these qualitative adjustments includes analysis of observable data over the historical loss period, the judgments required to assess the directionality and magnitude of adjustments is highly subjective. Auditing these complex judgments and assumptions involved especially challenging auditor judgment due to the nature of audit evidence and the nature and extent of effort required to address these matters.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

Note 1.Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business:

Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company, we, us, our”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Sewell, New Jersey. Through subsidiaries, the Company provides individuals, corporations and other businesses, and institutions with commercial and retail banking services, principally loans and deposits. The Company was incorporated in January 2005 under the laws of the State of New Jersey for the sole purpose of becoming the holding company of Parke Bank (the "Bank").

The Bank is a commercial bank, which was incorporated on August 25,1998, and commenced operations on January 28,1999. The Bank is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank maintains seven branch offices with its principal office at 601 Delsea Drive, Sewell, New Jersey, and additional branch office locations; 631 Tilton Road, Northfield, New Jersey, 567 Egg Harbor Road, Washington Township, New Jersey, 67 East Jimmie Leeds Road, Galloway Township, New Jersey, 1150 Haddon Avenue, Collingswood, New Jersey, 1610 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 1032 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the 2025 presentation, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The accounting policies that materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parke Bank. Parke Capital Trust I, Parke Capital Trust II and Parke Capital Trust III are wholly-owned subsidiaries but are not consolidated because they do not meet the requirements for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and cash equivalents: Consists of cash and due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits and other-short term investments, all of which, if applicable, have stated maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Investment Securities: Debt securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. We classify debt securities as held to maturity if we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We report securities held to maturity on our consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which generally equals amortized cost. Amortized cost reflects historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and any previously recorded impairments. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are designated as securities available for sale ("AFS") and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We did not have any securities classified as trading securities during 2025 or 2024.

Interest on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is included in interest income. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted to interest income at a constant effective yield over the contractual lives of the securities. Realized gains and losses from the sales of debt securities are determined on a specific security basis. These securities gains/(losses) are included in other noninterest income.

Restricted Stock: Restricted stock includes investments in the common stock of the FHLBNY and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for which no readily available market exists and, accordingly, is carried at cost. The stocks have no quoted market value and are subject to redemption restrictions. Management reviews these stocks for credit loss based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock. The stocks’ values are determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, the length of time this situation has persisted and the financial performance of the issuers. In addition, management considers any commitments by the FHLBNY to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLBNY and the liquidity position of the FHLBNY.

Table of Contents

Loans: We classify loans as held for investment or held for sale based on our investment strategy and management’s intent and ability with regard to the loans which may change over time. The accounting and measurement framework for loans differs depending on the loan classification. Loans that we have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are classified as held for investment. Loans classified as held for investment are reported at their amortized cost, which is the outstanding principal balance, adjusted for any unearned income, unamortized deferred fees and costs, unamortized premiums and discounts and charge-offs. Interest income on the loans is recognized as earned based on contractual interest rates applied to daily principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination fees, direct loan origination costs, and loan premiums and discounts are deferred and accreted or amortized into net interest income using the constant effective yield method, over the contractual life of the loan.

Loans originated with the intent to sell or for which we do not have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for sale. Interest on these loans is recognized on an accrual basis. These loans are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Our Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans that management has the intention to sell are designated as held for sale and are reported at fair value. Fair value represents the face value of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans pending settlement. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred until the loan is sold and are recognized as part of the total gain or loss on sale. We calculate the gross gain or loss on loan sales as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the loans sold.

Loan Fees: Loan fees and direct costs associated with loan originations are netted and deferred. The deferred amount is recognized as an adjustment to loan interest over the term of the related loan using the interest method. Prepayment penalties on loans are recognized in loan interest. Loan brokerage fees represent commissions earned for facilitating loans between borrowers and other companies and is recorded as other loan fee income.

Non-accrual Loans: Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet contractual payment obligations as they become due, as well as when a loan is 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, as required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases: The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected losses inherent in the Company’s lending activities excluding loans accounted for under fair value. The allowance for credit losses is maintained through charges to the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income as expected losses are estimated. Loans or portions thereof that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company performs periodic reviews of its loan and lease portfolios to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of those portfolios. The Company's allowance for credit losses includes a general component and an asset-specific component for collateral-dependent loans. To determine the asset-specific component of the allowance, the loans are evaluated individually based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company generally measures the asset-specific allowance as the difference between the net realizable value of loan collateral and the recorded investment of a loan.

The general component of the allowance evaluates the impairments of pools of the loan portfolio collectively. It incorporates a historical valuation allowance and qualitative allowance. The historical valuation utilizes a vintage loss rate approach utilizing a third party software model. The vintage loss rate approach creates pools of loans based on the segments defined by management, and consists of commercial and industrial, construction, commercial - owner occupied, commercial - non-owner occupied, residential - 1 to 4 family, residential - 1 to 4 family investment, residential - multifamily, and consumer. The loan pools are aggregated by origination year. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, are allocated by the year of charge-off to each loan pool. An average life is prescribed to a pool of loans that were originated in a particular year. The actual charge-offs as a percent of total loans are calculated for each historical year, and projected for future years for each year within the average life time horizon. The sum of the actual charge-offs and projected charge-offs are divided by the average amortized origination amount for each respective year. Those charge-off percentages are added together to obtain an aggregated vintage loss percentage which is then multiplied by the outstanding loan balances to obtain a reserve requirement.

Table of Contents

The qualitative allowance component is based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. It is generally determined by evaluating, among other things: (i) the experience, ability and effectiveness of the Bank's lending management and staff; (ii) the effectiveness of the Bank's lending policies, procedures and internal controls; (iii) volume and severity of loan credit quality; (iv) nature and volume of portfolio and term of loans (v) the composition and concentrations of credit; (vi) the effectiveness of the internal loan review system;(vii) national and local economic trends and conditions, and industry conditions; and (viii) the valuation of loan collateral assessed by regional home valuation indexes. Management evaluates the degree of risk that each one of these components has on the quality of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each component is determined to have either a high, high-moderate, moderate, low-moderate or low degree of risk. The results are then input into a "general allocation matrix" to determine an appropriate general valuation allowance.

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of the ACL. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is generally reversed against interest income. Accrued interest receivable, including loan and investment security, at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $11.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of estimate and judgment. It is reasonably possible that actual outcomes may differ from our estimates.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Lending-Related Commitments: Parke estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which it is exposed to credit risk on contractual obligations to extend credit, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and is recorded as a provision for credit losses in the consolidated income statement. 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 their estimated lives. The lifetime loss rates for off-balance sheet credit exposures are calculated in the same manner as on-balance sheet credit exposures, using the same model and economic forecasts, adjusted for the estimated likelihood that funding will occur.

Individually Assessed Loans and Leases: A loan or lease is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets. For Parke, loans and leases which are identified to be individually assessed under the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model typically are those that are on non-accrual at the reporting date, and include collateral dependent loans.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Parke considers a loan to be collateral dependent when foreclosure of the underlying collateral is probable. Parke has also elected to apply the practical expedient to measure expected credit losses of a collateral dependent asset using the fair value of the collateral, less any estimated costs to sell, when foreclosure is not probable but repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held to Maturity Securities: Parke measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities on a collective basis by security investment grade. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company classifies the held-to-maturity debt securities into the following major security types: residential mortgage backed, and state and political subdivisions. These securities are highly rated with a history of no credit losses, and are assigned ratings based on the most recent data from ratings agencies depending on the availability of data for the security. Credit ratings of held-to-maturity debt securities, which are a significant input in calculating the expected credit loss, are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Based on the credit ratings of our held-to-maturity securities and our historical experience including no losses, we have determined that an allowance for credit loss on the held-to-maturity portfolio is not required

Table of Contents

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in Accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities was $11.9 thousand and $12.7 thousand, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities: For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first evaluates whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is reduced to fair value and recognized as a reduction to non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

For debt securities available-for-sale which the Company does not intend to sell, or it is not likely the security would be required to be sold before recovery, we evaluate whether a decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other adverse factors, such as a change in the security's credit rating. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance is recorded, limited to the fair value of the security.

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in Accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities was $22.8 thousand and $13.9 thousand, respectively.

Charge-Offs: We charge off loans as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses when we determine the loan is uncollectible and record subsequent recoveries of previously charged off amounts as an increase to the allowance for credit losses.

Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company’s loans are generally to customers in Southern New Jersey, the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania, and New York, New York. Loans to general building contractors, general merchandise stores, restaurants, motels, warehouse space, and real estate ventures (including construction loans) constitute a majority of commercial loans. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4. Generally, loans are collateralized by assets of the borrower and are expected to be repaid from the borrower’s cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrower.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”): Real estate acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Costs of improving OREO are capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed its fair value less estimated selling costs. Subsequent valuation adjustments, declines, if any, are recognized as a charge against current earnings. Holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on sales are recognized in non-interest income as they occur.

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”): Policies insure the lives of officers and team members of the Company and name the Company as beneficiary. Non-interest income is generated tax free (subject to certain limitations) from the increase in value of the policies’ underlying investments made by the insurance company. Cash proceeds received from the settlement of the BOLI policies are generally tax-free and can be used to partially offset costs associated with employee compensation and benefit programs.

Bank Premises and Equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed and charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years for computers and software, five to ten years for equipment and forty years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized to expense over the shorter of the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Table of Contents

Lease: Lease classification is determined at inception for all lease transactions with an initial term greater than one year. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets within other assets, and operating lease liabilities are classified as other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Our operating lease expense is included in occupancy and equipment within non-interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value, which is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock grants is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We generally recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite service period based on the fair value of the award at grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue recognition: Our revenue includes net interest income on financial instruments and non-interest income. Interest income and fees on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments are recognized based on the contractual provisions of the underlying arrangements according to applicable accounting guidance. Deposit-related-fee-based revenue within the scope of ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) is included in non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income.

Our deposit-related-fee-based revenues are recognized when or as those services are transferred to the customer and are generally recognized either immediately upon the completion of our service or over time as we perform services. Any services performed over time generally require that we render services each period and therefore we measure our progress in completing these services based upon the passage of time. Deposit-related fees are recognized over the period in which the related service is provided. Service charges on deposit accounts are earned on depository accounts for customers and include fees for account and overdraft services. Account services include fees for event-driven services and fees for periodic account maintenance activities. Our obligation for event-driven services is satisfied at the time of the event when the service is delivered, while our obligation for maintenance services is satisfied over the course of each month. Our obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the overdraft.

Income Taxes: We recognize the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements using the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Current income tax expense represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Thus, at the enactment date, deferred taxes are remeasured and the change is recognized in income tax expense. The recognition of deferred tax assets requires an assessment to determine the realization of such assets. Realization refers to the incremental benefit achieved through the reduction in future taxes payable or refunds receivable. We establish a valuation allowance for tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized, based upon all available evidence. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

Table of Contents

The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. All years after 2022 are open under the original federal statute of limitations. For state tax returns, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by local tax authorities for years 2022 and after, except for the State of New Jersey which is still subject to income tax examinations for years 2021 and after.

Fair value: Fair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value accounting guidance provides a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial instruments. This hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or unobservable. Fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability is assigned to a level based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The accounting guidance for fair value requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates pertain to our allowances for credit losses, fair value measurements, individually evaluated loans, the carrying value of OREO, and the valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results may differ from the estimates and the differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting: The Company operates one reportable segment of business, “community banking”. Through its community banking segment, the Company provides a broad range of retail and community banking services. The accounting policies of the community banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, who decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

Available for sale:

The Company’s unrealized loss for the available for sale securities is comprised of 2 securities in the less than 12 months loss position and 12 securities in the 12 months or greater loss position at December 31, 2025. The mortgage-backed securities that had unrealized losses were issued or guaranteed by the US government or government sponsored entities. The unrealized losses associated with those mortgage-backed securities are generally driven by changes in interest rates and not due to credit losses given the explicit or implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. government. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company does not consider the unrealized loss in these securities to be a credit loss at December 31, 2025.

Impairment of Debt Securities

On at least a quarterly basis, we review all debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position for a credit loss. An investment security is deemed impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. Amortized cost includes adjustments (if any) made to the cost basis of an investment for accretion, amortization, and previous other-than-temporary impairments. For individual debt securities classified as available for sale, we determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit, we will record the portion of the impairment loss relating to credit through an allowance for credit losses. Impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Please refer to Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a detailed description of our accounting policy for the impairment of securities.

Allowance For Credit Losses (ACL)

We maintain the ACL at a level that we believe to be appropriate to absorb estimated credit losses in the loan portfolios as of the balance sheet date.

The following tables present the information regarding the allowance for credit losses and associated loan data by portfolio segment under the CECL model:

As of December 31, 2025 Real Estate Mortgage

Commercial Commercial Residential

Commercial Owner Non-owner Residential 1 to 4 Family Residential

Recoveries 5 — — — — — — — 5

The increase in allowance for credit losses for construction is primarily due to an increase in the loan balance during the year, partially offset by a decrease in the vintage loss factor due to amortization of prior year losses. The increase in the commercial owner occupied is primarily due to an increase in the loan balance during the year, as well as an increase in the qualitative factor due to an increase in the problem loan balance. The increase in the commercial non-owner occupied is primarily due to an increase in the loan balance during the year, which increased qualitative concentration levels. The decrease in residential 1 to 4 family is due to a decrease in the qualitative factor due to a decrease in the concentration level of the portfolio. The decrease in residential 1 to 4 family investment is primarily due to a decrease in the loan balance, as well as a decrease in the qualitative loss factor due to a decease in the concentration level of the portfolio.

The increase in allowance for credit losses for residential multifamily is primarily due to an increase in the loan balance during the year, as well as an increase in the qualitative factor due to the increased volume of the portfolio. The decrease in construction is due to a decrease in the loan balance during the year, as well as a decrease in the qualitative factor due to the decrease in volume, as well as a decrease in the vintage loss factor due to amortization of prior year losses. The decrease in commercial non-owner occupied is due to a decrease in the qualitative factor due to a reduction in the problem loan balance, and a decrease in the vintage loss factor due to the amortization of prior year losses.

Credit Quality Indicators: As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grades of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans (see details above) and the general economic conditions in the region.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Grades 1 through 4 are considered “Pass”. A description of the general characteristics of the seven risk grades is as follows:
