bwalignl\">\n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table><p>\nNet interest income was $86.1 million, compared to $80.2 million for the prior quarter. Interest earning asset yields rose 3 basis points to 5.14%. Loan interest income increased $2.5 million and loan yields increased 3 basis points as average loan balances increased $109.4 million, reflecting repricing upside from commercial loan origination. Similarly, interest income on securities increased $5.2 million and securities yields increased 2 basis points as capital was allocated to PACE origination and AFS securities purchases in the quarter. Conversely, expense on total interest-bearing deposits increased $1.9 million as more deposits were brought back on-balance sheet in the quarter, resulting in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits increasing by $320.7 million.<\/p><p>\nNet interest margin was 3.78%, an increase of 3 basis points from 3.75% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to interest income generated from the origination of higher-yielding commercial loans and newly purchased AFS securities. In addition, interest income recaptured from the payoff of a nonaccrual construction loan and one-time commercial prepayment fees largely offset income lost from loans moved to nonaccrual status in the prior quarter. Income from prepayment penalties had a 3 basis point impact on net interest margin in the current quarter, compared to a non-material impact in the prior quarter. Total cost of deposits remained flat.<\/p><p>\nProvision for credit losses was an expense of $4.4 million, compared to an expense of $13.5 million in the prior quarter. The decrease of $9.1 million was primarily driven by $9.2 million of specific reserves established in the prior quarter on $78.0 million of multifamily loans to a single-borrower after the borrower indicated an expected default. Management continues to evaluate resolution alternatives on these loans, including foreclosure, note sales, or other exit strategies. During the current quarter, reserves on three of these loans that have been on nonaccrual status since the fourth quarter of 2025 were increased by a combined $1.1 million as the loans move closer to resolution. Offsetting this increase in reserves was a release of $1.5 million on a nonaccrual construction loan that was paid off during the quarter. The remaining provision expense in the second quarter was primarily driven by expected consumer charge-offs and additional required reserves from the ACL model calculation.<\/p><p>\nNon-interest income was $12.3 million, compared to $13.3 million in the prior quarter. Excluding all non-core income items noted above, core non-interest income<sup>1<\/sup> was $10.0 million, compared to $11.2 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily related to lower core solar tax equity income due to exiting a solar tax investment in the previous quarter, as well as a discrete benefit from BOLI policies in the prior quarter.<\/p><p>\nNon-interest expense was $47.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million from the prior quarter. Excluding all non-core expense items noted above, core non-interest expense<sup>1<\/sup> was $47.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million from the prior quarter. This was mainly driven by $2.0 million of higher compensation and employee benefit costs consisting of accruals related to increased performance, as well as for the additional payroll period in 2026. In addition, there was an expected $0.8 million increase in technology costs related to implementation of key modernization projects. This was offset by a $0.6 million decrease in occupancy expense, and a $0.7 million decrease in professional fees.<\/p><p>\nProvision for income tax expense was $11.9 million, compared to $8.8 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 25.4%, compared to 26.0% in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily the result of the recognition of a $0.5 million tax credit purchased in the quarter. Excluding the purchased tax credit and other discrete tax items, the current quarter tax rate would have been 26.4%. The tax credits are included in the annualized effective tax rate.<\/p><p>\n<b>Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary<\/b><\/p><p>\nTotal assets expanded to $9.4 billion at June 30, 2026, a $240.6 million, or 3% increase and total average assets were $9.3 billion. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $81.2 million increase in traditional securities and a $114.9 million increase in net loans receivable, primarily funded by more deposits held on-balance sheet. For liabilities, on-balance sheet deposits increased by $280.3 million and average total deposits increased by $460.7 million, reflecting growth across the labor, social\/philanthropy, and political segments. Off-balance sheet deposits decreased by $96.8 million in the quarter. Equity grew by $27.4 million.<\/p><p>\nTotal net loans receivable at June 30, 2026 were $5.1 billion, an increase of $114.9 million, or 2.3% for the quarter. The loan balance increase was primarily driven by an $85.1 million increase in multifamily loans, a $56.2 million increase in commercial real estate loans, and a $13.2 million increase in commercial and industrial loans. Portfolios in non-growth mode included a $11.5 million decrease in consumer solar loans, and a $26.5 million decrease in residential loans.<\/p><p>\nTotal on-balance sheet deposits at June 30, 2026 were $8.5 billion, an increase of $280.3 million, or 3.4%, during the quarter. Including accounts held off-balance sheet, deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $2.1 billion, an increase of $211.9 million during the quarter. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 40% of average total deposits and 39% of ending total deposits for the quarter, contributing to an average cost of total deposits of 146 basis points. Super-core deposits<sup>1<\/sup> totaled approximately $5.1 billion, and had a weighted average life of 17 years. Total uninsured deposits were $4.8 billion, comprising 57% of on-balance sheet deposits.<\/p><p>\nNonperforming assets totaled $102.7 million, or 1.09% of period-end total assets at June 30, 2026, an increase of $3.8 million, compared with $98.9 million, or 1.08% of period-end total assets on a linked quarter basis. The increase in nonperforming assets was driven by one $5.3 million New York multifamily loan that was placed on nonaccrual status this quarter. In addition, two small business loans totaling $0.1 million were also placed on nonaccrual status. This was partially offset by the payoff of a $2.3 million legacy non-performing construction loan.<\/p><p>\nDuring the quarter, criticized or classified loans decreased $9.0 million, largely driven by the upgrade of one $9.1 million commercial and industrial loan. Also, there were payoffs of one $3.3 million commercial real estate loan, one $2.3 million construction loan mentioned above, and two small business loans totaling $0.4 million. Lastly, two additional small business loans totaling $0.2 million were charged off during the quarter. This was partially offset by downgrades on one $6.2 million multifamily loan, and nine small business loans totaling $0.7 million.<\/p><p>\nDuring the quarter, the allowance for credit losses on loans increased $0.7 million to $68.9 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.34%, a decrease of 1 basis point from 1.35% in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p><p>\n<b>Capital Quarterly Summary<\/b><\/p><p>\nAs of June 30, 2026, the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 14.20%, the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.43%, and the Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio was 9.20%. Stockholders\u2019 equity was $835.0 million, an increase of $27.4 million during the quarter.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other discrete items unrelated to the core business, which are excluded, vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the results to those of other companies.<\/p><p>\nThe presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release with other companies\u2019 non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
