Acquisition
On January 1, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FineMark Holdings, Inc. ("FineMark"), a bank holding company headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 16, 2025. Immediately after the merger, FineMark's wholly-owned subsidiary, FineMark National Bank & Trust, merged into the Bank, with the Bank continuing as the surviving bank. The acquisition added total assets of approximately $4.0 billion, including loans of $2.6 billion, total deposits of $3.1 billion, and assets under administration of $8.7 billion, as well as 13 banking offices in Florida, Arizona and South Carolina.
Forward-Looking Information
This report may contain "forward-looking statements" that are subject to risks and uncertainties and include information about possible or assumed future results of operations. Many possible events or factors could affect the future financial results and performance of the Company. This could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", variations of such words and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Readers should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks discussed throughout this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Such possible events or factors include: changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area; changes in policies by regulatory agencies; governmental legislation and regulation; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in liquidity requirements; demand for loans in the Company's market area; changes in accounting and tax principle;, estimates made on income taxes; competition with other entities that offer financial services; cybersecurity threats; risks related to the merger with FineMark including, among others, (i) the Company's ability to promptly and effectively integrate the merger, (ii) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities, (iii) cost savings and any revenue synergies from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (iv) deposits attrition, customer or employee loss and/or revenue loss as a result of the merger, and (v) expenses related to the merger being greater than expected; and such other factors as discussed in Part I Item 1A - "Risk Factors" and Part II Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. - "Risk Factors" in this report.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Policies
The Company has identified certain policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These estimates and related policies are the Company's allowance for credit losses and fair value measurement policies. A discussion of these estimates and related policies can be found in the sections captioned "Critical Accounting Policies" and "Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Liability for Unfunded Lending Commitments" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes in the Company's application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2025.

The provision for credit losses increased $3.1 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Net gains on investment securities totaled $12.8 million in the current quarter compared to net gains of $437 thousand in the same quarter of last year. Securities gains in the current quarter primarily resulted from net gains of $114.1 million recorded on equity securities, largely offset by net losses of $97.7 million on sales of available for sale debt securities. Non-interest expense increased $52.6 million, or 21.5%, over the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expense of $24.9 million, primarily a result of onboarding FineMark team members at the beginning of 2026. Data processing and software expense and professional and other services expense also increased $5.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Additionally, other non-interest expense increased $15.6 million, primarily due to $12.0 million in litigation expense and $5.4 million in intangible amortization expense related to the FineMark acquisition.

The provision for credit losses was $19.7 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to a provision of $20.1 million in the same period last year.

Table of Contents
compared to the second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to an increase in average loan balances in connection with the acquisition of FineMark on January 1, 2026. Accretion income on FineMark's loans resulting from purchase accounting adjustments totaled $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2026. Interest income earned on loans (FTE) increased over the same period in the prior year mainly due to higher average loan balances, partly offset by lower average rates earned. Total interest earned on investment securities (FTE) increased mainly due to higher average rates earned, while the increase in deposit interest expense was mainly due to higher average balances, partly offset by lower average rates paid. Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased mainly due to lower average rates paid. The Company's net yield on earning assets (FTE) was 3.77% in the current quarter compared to 3.70% in the second quarter of 2025.
Total interest income (FTE) increased $35.8 million over the second quarter of 2025. Interest income on loans (FTE) was $293.3 million during the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $31.2 million, or 11.9%, over the same quarter last year. The increase in loan interest income over the same quarter of last year was primarily due to growth of $3.0 billion, or 17.3%, in average loan balances, partly offset by lower average rates earned, which declined 28 basis points. Most of the increase in interest income was due to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $2.7 billion in loan balances. The largest increase to interest income occurred in personal real estate loan interest, which grew $19.6 million due to a $1.3 billion, or 43.9%, increase in average balances coupled with a 49 basis point increase in the average rate earned. Revolving home equity loan interest income increased $4.7 million mainly due to a $267.7 million, or 73.9%, increase in average balances. Business real estate loan interest income increased $3.3 million due to higher average balances of $370.3 million, or 10.0%, partly offset by a decrease of 22 basis points in the average rate earned. The $3.3 million increase in consumer loan interest income was due to a $324.3 million, or 15.1%, increase in average balances, partly offset by a decline of 31 basis points in the average rate earned. Business loan interest income grew $3.2 million due to higher average balances of $617.1 million, or 9.9%, partly offset by a 33 basis point decrease in the average rate earned. These increases in interest income were slightly offset by decreases in construction and land loan and consumer credit card loan interest income. Interest income on construction and land loans decreased $1.7 million due to a 99 basis point decrease in the average rate earned, partly offset by an increase in average balances of $114.9 million, or 8.0%. Consumer credit card loan interest income declined $1.3 million due to a 60 basis point decrease in the average rate earned and a $15.2 million, or 2.7% decrease in the average balance.
Interest income on investment securities (FTE) was $83.2 million during the second quarter of 2026, which was an increase of $2.6 million over the same quarter last year. The largest increase in interest income occurred in interest earned on U.S. government and federal agency obligations, which grew $11.9 million, driven by higher average balances of $741.1 million, or 28.2%, and an increase of 48 basis points in the average rate earned. Interest income related to the Company's U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), which is tied to the non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI-U), increased $5.0 million over the same quarter last year. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company sold its TIPS portfolio as part of its available for sale debt securities portfolio repositioning. The increase in interest income was partly offset by a decline in interest income earned on asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, which declined $4.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Interest income earned on asset-backed securities declined due to a $528.4 million, or 33.3%, decrease in average balances. A decrease of $626.0 million, or 13.5%, in average balances led to the decline in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.1 million adjustment to premium amortization at June 30, 2026, which increased interest income and reflected slower forward prepayment speed estimates on mortgage-backed securities. This increase was higher than the $1.0 million adjustment increasing income in the same quarter last year. The average balance of the total investment portfolio (excluding unrealized fair value adjustments on available for sale debt securities) was $9.8 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and $10.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Interest income on securities purchased under agreements to resell increased $876 thousand over the same quarter last year, mainly due to the growth of $84.6 million in the average balance. These resale agreements were structured with floor spreads to protect against falling interest rates. Interest income on deposits at the Federal Reserve increased $1.1 million due to an increase of $539.2 million in the average balance, partly offset by a decline of 76 basis points in the average rate earned.
The average fully taxable-equivalent yield on total interest earning assets was 4.87% in the second quarter of 2026, down from 4.90% in the second quarter of 2025.
Total interest expense increased $757 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2025 due an increase of $3.3 million in interest expense on interest bearing deposits, partly offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in deposit interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $2.7 billion in interest bearing deposit balances. Compared to the same quarter last year, interest expense on interest checking and money market deposit balances increased $5.3 million due to growth of $1.9 billion, or 13.4%, in average balances, partly offset by a four basis point decline in the average rate paid. Interest expense on certificate of deposit accounts decreased $2.1 million due to a 45 basis point decline in average rates paid, partly offset by an increase of $69.4 million, or 2.9%, in average balances. The overall rate paid on total deposits decreased ten basis points from the same quarter last year. Interest expense on customer

repurchase agreements decreased $3.4 million due to a 50 basis point decline in the average rate paid and a decrease of $71.9 million, or 3.0%, in the average balance. The overall average rate incurred on all interest bearing liabilities was 1.68% and 1.83% in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Total interest income (FTE) for the first six months of 2026 increased $65.8 million over the same period last year mainly due to higher interest income on loans (FTE), securities purchased under agreements to resell and deposit balances at the Federal Reserve, slightly offset by lower interest income on investment securities (FTE). Loan interest income (FTE) increased $65.5 million, or 12.6%, due to a $3.1 billion, or 17.6%, increase in average loan balances, partly offset by a decline of 25 basis points in the average rate earned. Most of the increase in interest income was due to loan balances acquired in the FineMark acquisition. Increases in interest income occurred in the personal real estate, revolving home equity, business real estate, business and consumer loan categories, while decreases occurred in the construction and land and consumer credit card loan categories. Interest income on investment securities (FTE) decreased $1.6 million mainly due to decreases in average balances of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, partly offset by an increase in average balances of U.S. government and federal agency obligations. Interest earned on asset-backed securities decreased $7.6 million mainly due to a decline in average balances of $491.7 million, while interest earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased $5.7 million mainly due to lower average balances of $601.7 million. These decreases in interest income on investment securities were partly offset by increases in interest earned on U.S. government and federal agency securities of $14.2 million due to higher average balances of $672.9 million, or 25.8%. Higher interest income of $1.9 million was earned on securities purchased under agreements to resell, which saw growth in both average balances and rates earned. Interest income on balances at the Federal Reserve increased $2.2 million due to a $573.8 million increase in the average balance invested, partly offset by a 76 basis point decline in the average rate earned.
Total interest expense for the first six months of 2026 increased $2.2 million compared to the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits increased $7.4 million, due to a $2.1 billion increase in average balances, partly offset by an 11 basis point decline in the average rate paid. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $5.2 million, due to lower interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $6.8 million resulting from lower average rates paid and average balances. This decrease was partly offset by higher interest expense on federal funds purchased of $770 thousand, mainly due to lower average rates paid, partly offset by an increase in average balances, while interest expense on other borrowings increased $845 thousand mainly due to higher average balances. The overall cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.70% compared to 1.87% in the same period last year.

For the second quarter of 2026, total non-interest income amounted to $183.8 million compared to $165.6 million in the same quarter last year, which was an increase of $18.2 million, or 11.0%. The increase was mainly due to higher trust fees and deposit account fees. Trust fees increased $15.9 million, or 28.7%, mainly due to growth of $14.9 million in private client trust fees. Bank card transaction fees for the current quarter increased $1.8 million, or 3.8%, over the same period last year, mainly due to growth in net corporate card and net credit card fees. Net corporate card fees increased $811 thousand compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher interchange fees. Net credit card fees increased $804 thousand mainly due to lower rewards expense and higher interchange fees. Net merchant fees increased $212 thousand mainly due to lower royalty expense and lower network expense, while net debit card fees declined $68 thousand. Compared to the second quarter of last year, deposit account fees increased $3.0 million, or 11.5%, mainly due to higher corporate cash management fees of $2.7 million. Consumer brokerage service fees increased $479 thousand, or 8.9%, mainly due to higher advisory fees, while capital market fees decreased $508 thousand, or 8.2%, mainly due to lower underwriting income. Other non-interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 10.3%, mainly due to decreases of $4.7 million in gains on the sales of assets and $1.0 million in tax credit sales fees. These decreases were partly offset by increases in cash sweep commissions and interest rate swap fees of $1.3 million and $577 thousand, respectively.
Non-interest income for the first six months of 2026 was $359.7 million compared to $324.6 million in the first six months of 2025, which was an increase of $35.1 million, or 10.8%. The increase was mainly due to higher trust fees, deposit account fees and bank card fees. Trust fees increased $30.4 million, or 27.1%, mainly due to higher private client and institutional trust fees. Bank card transaction fees for the current year increased $1.8 million, or 1.9%, over the same period last year, mainly due to growth of $859 thousand in net corporate card fees, $631 thousand in net credit card fees and $233 thousand in net debit card fees. Deposit account fees increased $5.0 million, or 9.4%, mainly due to higher corporate cash management and overdraft and return item fees. Consumer brokerage service fees increased $1.1 million, or 11.2%, mainly due to higher advisory fees. Capital market fees decreased $282 thousand, or 2.5%, while loan fees and sales decreased $306 thousand, or 4.5%, mainly due to lower loan commitment fees. Other non-interest income decreased $2.5 million, or 6.5%, mainly due to decreases of $5.7 million in gains on the sales of assets and $1.4 million in tax credit sales fees. In addition, a decrease in fair value adjustments of $723 thousand was recorded on the Company's deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities. These decreases were partly offset by increases in cash sweep commissions of $2.4 million, bank-owned life insurance income of $936 thousand, and ACH network fees of $814 thousand.

To determine the amount of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments, the Company has an established process which assesses the risks and losses expected in its portfolios. This process provides an allowance based on estimates of allowances for pools of loans and unfunded lending commitments, as well as a second, smaller component based on certain individually evaluated loans and unfunded lending commitments. The Company's policies and processes for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments are discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and in the "Allowance for Credit Losses" discussion within Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Policies in Item 7 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2026 amounted to $9.5 million, compared to $15.0 million in the prior quarter and $9.7 million in the second quarter of last year. Compared to the same period last year, net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2026 decreased $149 thousand and decreased $5.4 million from the previous quarter. The decrease from the prior year was mainly driven by a decrease of $418 thousand in business real estate loan recoveries, offset by a decrease of $570 thousand in consumer loan net charge-offs. The decrease in net loan charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from the previous quarter was driven by decreases of $5.4 million, $110 thousand and $170 thousand in net charge-offs on business real estate, consumer credit card, and consumer loans, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $201 thousand in net charge-offs on personal real estate loans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, annualized net charge-offs on average consumer credit card loans were 5.18%, compared to 5.21% in the previous quarter and 5.08% in the same period last year. Consumer loan annualized net charge-offs in the current quarter amounted to .26%, compared to .30% in the prior quarter and .40% in the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2026, total annualized net loan charge-offs were .19%, compared to .30% in the previous quarter and .22% in the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, total annualized net loan charge-offs were .24% for each period. Net loan charge-offs were $24.5 million in the first six months of 2026, an increase of $4.0 million over net loan charge-offs of $20.5 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase in net loan charge-offs during the first six months of 2026 was mainly driven by higher net charge-offs business real estate loans.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was $6.3 million, which was a decrease of $5.0 million from the provision recorded in the prior quarter. Compared to the same period in the prior year, the provision for credit losses on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased $1.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was $17.6 million, which was a $5.4 million decrease from the $23.0 million provision recorded in the same period last year. Changes in the provision are driven by changes in the estimate for the allowance for credit losses on loans.
The allowance for credit losses decreased $3.2 million compared to prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses in the commercial portfolio decreased $1.6 million primarily due to decreases in the allowance on construction loans due to continued low loss rates and lower outstanding loan balances. Additionally, decreases in the allowance for credit losses in business loans lowered the overall allowance for credit losses in the commercial portfolio, due to lower business loan balances in certain industries and improvement in certain economic indicators, partially offset by an overall increase in outstanding business loan balances. The allowance for credit losses on the personal banking portfolio also decreased $1.6 million primarily due to a decrease in the allowance on the personal real estate loans, mostly due to improvements in home sale trends in certain markets. The decrease in allowance caused the allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans to decrease compared to the prior quarter. The forecast utilized to estimate the allowance for credit losses on loans at June 30, 2026 assumes slowing economic expansion and stable unemployment, and changes in the forecast utilized to estimate the allowance at June 30, 2026 did not significantly change the allowance estimate during the quarter.
At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses increased $15.9 million compared to the allowance for credit losses on loans at December 31, 2025. The most significant driver of the increase in the allowance for credit losses is due to an increase in loan balances as a result of the acquisition of FineMark, as the initial allowance for FineMark loans acquired was $22.8 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the allowance on the consumer and consumer credit card loan portfolios. The allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans decreased compared to December 31, 2025 due to the change in mix of loans caused by the acquisition which included more personal real estate loans that carry a lower allowance for credit losses than other classes. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $195.4 million at June 30, 2026 and was .94%, .97%, and 1.01% of total loans at June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
In the current quarter, the provision for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments was $2.4 million, compared to a benefit of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the liability for unfunded lending commitments was $20.1 million, compared to $17.7 million at December 31, 2025 and $16.0 million at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the liability for unfunded lending commitments remained largely consistent with the liability as of December 31, 2025. The Company's unfunded lending commitments primarily relate to construction loans, and the Company's estimate for credit losses in its unfunded lending commitments utilizes the same model and forecast as its estimate for credit losses on loans. See Note 3 for further discussion of the model inputs utilized in the Company's estimate of credit losses.
The Company considers the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded commitments adequate to cover losses expected in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments, at June 30, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments are estimates that require significant judgment including projections of the macro-economic environment. The Company utilizes a third-party macro-economic forecast that continuously changes due to economic conditions and events. These changes in the forecast cause fluctuations in the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments. The Company uses judgment to assess the macro-economic forecast and internal loss data in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments. These estimates are subject to periodic refinement based on changes in the underlying external and internal data.

Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio
The following table presents non-performing assets and loans which are past due 90 days and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets include non-accruing loans and foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment. Loans that are 90 days past due as to principal and/or interest payments are generally placed on non-accrual, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection, or they are personal banking loans that are exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as non-accrual.

Non-accrual loans totaled $11.6 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $4.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2025. The decrease occurred mainly in business real estate non-accrual loans, which decreased $5.4 million. At June 30, 2026, non-accrual loans were comprised of business real estate (80.6%), personal real estate (18.3%), and business loans (0.8%). Foreclosed real estate totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $7 thousand compared to December 31, 2025. Total loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $23.7 million as of June 30, 2026, a decrease of $956 thousand from December 31, 2025. Balances by class for non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest are shown in the "Delinquent and non-accrual loans" section in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
In addition to the non-performing and past due loans mentioned above, the Company also has identified loans for which management has concerns about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms. They are classified as substandard under the Company's internal rating system. The loans are generally secured by either real estate or other borrower assets, reducing the potential for loss should they become non-performing. Although these loans are generally identified as potential problem loans, they may never become non-performing. Such loans totaled $316.6 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $264.9 million at December 31, 2025, resulting in an increase of $51.8 million, or 19.5%.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower in order to assist the borrower in repaying principal and interest owed to the Company. At June 30, 2026, the Company held $110.9 million of loans that had been modified during the six months ended June 30, 2026. These loans are further discussed in the "Modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty" section in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Loans with Special Risk Characteristics
Management relies primarily on an internal risk rating system, in addition to delinquency status, to assess risk in the loan portfolio, and these statistics are presented in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. However, certain types of loans are considered at high risk of loss due to their terms, location, or special conditions. Additional information about the major types of loans in these categories and their risk features are provided below. Information based on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios was generally calculated with valuations at loan origination date. The Company normally obtains an updated appraisal or valuation at the time a loan is renewed or modified, or if the loan becomes significantly delinquent or is in the process of being foreclosed upon.

Revolving Home Equity Loans
The Company had $649.3 million in revolving home equity loans at June 30, 2026 that were collateralized by residential real estate. Most of these loans (96.2%) are written with terms requiring interest-only monthly payments. These loans are offered in three main product lines: LTV up to 80%, 80% to 90%, and 90% to 100%. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal of loans with an original LTV higher than 80% was $85.2 million, or 13.1% of the portfolio, compared to $27.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Total revolving home equity loan balances over 30 days past due were $2.1 million at June 30, 2026 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2025, and the outstanding balance for revolving home equity loans on non-accrual status was $33 thousand at June 30, 2026 compared to no balance at December 31, 2025. The weighted average FICO score for the total portfolio balance at June 30, 2026 is 778. At maturity, the accounts are re-underwritten, and if they qualify under the Company's credit, collateral and capacity policies, the borrower is given the option to renew the line of credit or convert the outstanding balance to an amortizing loan. If criteria are not met, amortization is required, or the borrower may pay off the loan. During the remainder of 2026 through 2029, approximately 19.5% of the Company's current outstanding balances are expected to mature. Of these balances, approximately 84.0% have a FICO score of 700 or higher. The Company does not expect a significant increase in losses as these loans mature, due to their high FICO scores, low LTVs, and low historical loss levels.
Consumer Loans
The consumer loans category is mostly comprised of private banking loans and automobile loans. Private banking loans comprised of 49.3% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2026. The Company's private banking loans are mostly executive lines of credit, which are secured primarily by assets held by the Company's trust department, and insurance premium finance loans, which are primarily secured by life insurance policies. Automobile loans, which include direct and indirect product lines, comprised 29.5% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2026, and outstanding balances for auto loans were $744.3 million and $773.6 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The balances over 30 days past due amounted to $8.2 million at June 30, 2026 and $11.0 million at December 31, 2025, respectively, and comprised 1.1% of the outstanding balances of these loans at June 30, 2026 and 1.4% at December 31, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, $173.4 million of new auto loans were originated, compared to $190.2 million during the first six months of 2025. At June 30,

2026, the automobile loan portfolio had a weighted average FICO score of 763, and net charge-offs on auto loans were .5% of average auto loans.
The Company's consumer loan portfolio also includes fixed rate home equity loans, typically for home repair or remodeling, and these loans comprised 8.0% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2026. Losses on these loans have historically been low, and the Company saw net charge offs of $9 thousand for the first six months of 2026. The remaining portion of the Company's consumer loan portfolio is comprised of healthcare financing, boat, RV, motorcycle, other equipment, and unsecured consumer loans. Net charge-offs on consumer loans, other than automobile and fixed rate home equity loans, totaled $1.4 million in the first six months of 2026 and were .2% of the average balances of these loans at June 30, 2026.
Consumer Credit Card Loans
The Company offers low promotional rates on selected consumer credit card products. Out of a portfolio at June 30, 2026 of $561.3 million in consumer credit card loans outstanding, approximately $119.5 million, or 21.3%, carried a low promotional rate. Within the next six months, $54.7 million of these loans are scheduled to convert to the ongoing higher contractual rate. To mitigate some of the risk involved with this credit card product, the Company performs credit checks and detailed analysis of the customer borrowing profile before approving the loan application. Management believes that the risks in the consumer loan portfolio are reasonable and the anticipated loss ratios are within acceptable parameters.

Financial Condition
Balance Sheet
Total assets of the Company were $35.3 billion at June 30, 2026 and $32.9 billion at December 31, 2025. Earning assets (excluding the allowance for credit losses on loans and fair value adjustments on available for sale debt securities) amounted to $33.6 billion at June 30, 2026 and $31.4 billion at December 31, 2025, and consisted of 62% in loans and 28% in investment securities at June 30, 2026.
At June 30, 2026, total loans were $20.8 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion compared to balances at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $2.7 billion in loan balances. The balances of personal real estate, business, business real estate, and revolving home equity loans grew $1.3 billion, $676.6 million, $389.7 million, and $274.2 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 2025. Consumer loans, which includes automobile, marine and RV, fixed rate home equity and other consumer loans, increased $330.6 million, mainly due to growth in other consumer loans.
Total available for sale debt securities, excluding fair value adjustments, decreased $801.0 million at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. Sales, maturities and pay downs of available for sale debt securities during this period totaled $1.2 billion, partly offset by purchases of $810.0 million. The decline in available for sale debt securities was mainly the result of lower balances of mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, which decreased $742.7 million and $255.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. These decreases were partly offset by an increase of $246.1 million in the balance of U.S. government and federal agency obligations. At June 30, 2026, the duration of the available for sale investment portfolio was 4.2 years, and maturities and pay downs of approximately $1.1 billion are expected to occur during the next 12 months.
Interest earning deposits with banks decreased $484.2 million from December 31, 2025 and the balance of other assets increased $176.2 million mainly due to increases in goodwill, intangible assets and premises and equipment related to the Company's acquisition of FineMark. These increases were partly offset by a decline in the cash and due from banks balance.
Total deposits at June 30, 2026 amounted to $27.9 billion, an increase of $2.2 billion compared to December 31, 2025. The balance increase was primarily due to the FineMark acquisition, which added $2.7 billion in interest bearing and $425 million in non-interest bearing deposit balances. Shortly after the acquisition, the Company moved $1.0 billion of FineMark’s high-cost, money market deposit balances off-balance sheet. Compared to December 31, 2025, interest checking and money market deposit balances increased $2.3 billion. The Company’s borrowings, which included customer repurchase agreements of $2.3 billion, totaled $2.5 billion at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $547.9 million from balances at December 31, 2025. Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $350.0 million, which the Company acquired from the FineMark acquisition, were paid off in January 2026.

The Company holds securities purchased under agreements to resell (“resale agreements”) which totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2026, with maturities in 2028 through 2031. Under these agreements, the Company lends funds to upstream financial institutions and holds marketable securities, safe-kept by a third-party custodian, as collateral. This collateral totaled $1.2 billion in fair value at June 30, 2026.
The Company's available for sale debt securities portfolio has a diverse mix of high quality and liquid investment securities with a duration of 4.2 years at June 30, 2026. Approximately $1.1 billion of the Company's available for sale debt portfolio is expected to mature or pay down during the next 12 months, and these funds offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demand or offset potential reductions in the Company's deposit funding base. The Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trust funds, letters of credit issued by the FHLB, and borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank.

The average loans to deposits ratio is a measure of a bank's liquidity, and the Company’s average loans to deposits ratio was 73.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Core customer deposits, defined as non-interest bearing, interest checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts totaled $25.5 billion and represented 91.5% of the Company's total deposits at June 30, 2026. These core deposits are normally less volatile, as they are often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company, promoting long lasting relationships and stable funding sources. Core deposits increased $2.2 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in wealth deposits of $1.8 billion. While the Company considers core retail banking and wealth deposits less volatile, corporate deposits could decline if interest rates increase significantly, encouraging corporate customers to increase investing activities, or if the economy deteriorates and companies experience lower cash inflows, reducing deposit balances. If these corporate deposits decline, the Company's funding needs may be met by liquidity supplied by investment security maturities and pay downs expected to total $1.1 billion over the next year, as noted above. In addition, as shown in the table of collateral available for future advances below, the Company has borrowing capacity of $6.4 billion through advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.

Total $ 25,493,206 $ 23,121,108 $ 23,253,117
Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2026. These deposits are normally considered more volatile and higher costing, and comprised 4.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2026.
The Company may occasionally issue short-term brokered certificates of deposit to test the reliability of this potential funding source. While it is not clear how many brokered certificates of deposit the market would allow the Company to issue, the Company believes brokered certificates of deposits may be an additional, reliable source of liquidity during periods of stress in the banking industry.

Other important components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. During 2026, the Company's outside borrowings have mainly been comprised of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, as follows:

Total $ 2,454,582 $ 2,611,510 $ 3,002,439
Federal funds purchased, which totaled $121.8 million at June 30, 2026, are unsecured overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company maintains approved lines of credit. At June 30, 2026, the Company had approved lines of credit totaling $4.2 billion. Since these borrowings are unsecured and limited by market trading activity, their availability may be less certain than collateralized sources of borrowings. Retail repurchase agreements are offered to customers wishing to earn interest in highly liquid balances and are used by the Company as a funding source considered to be stable, but short-term in nature. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities in the Company's investment portfolio. Total repurchase agreements at June 30, 2026 were comprised of non-insured customer funds totaling $2.3 billion, and securities pledged as collateral for these retail agreements totaled $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026. The Company also borrows on a secured basis through advances from the FHLB. The advances are generally short-term, fixed interest rate borrowings. There were no advances outstanding from the FHLB at June 30, 2026.
The Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities, to both the FRB and the FHLB as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the amount and type of collateral pledged, the FHLB establishes a collateral value from which the Company may draw advances against the collateral. Additionally, this collateral is used to enable the FHLB to issue letters of credit in favor of public fund depositors of the Company. The FRB also establishes a collateral value of assets pledged and permits borrowings from the discount window. The following table reflects the collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to the Company at June 30, 2026.

No commercial paper has been outstanding during the past ten years. The Company has no subordinated or hybrid debt instruments which would affect future borrowing capacity. Because of its lack of significant long-term debt, the Company believes that through its Commercial

The cash flows from the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company resulted in a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $639.8 million during the first six months of 2026, as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in this report. Operating activities, consisting mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, provided cash flow of $866.7 million and have historically been a stable source of funds. Investing activities, which occur mainly in the loan and investment securities portfolios, provided cash of $532.3 million. Activity in the investment securities portfolio provided cash of $791.2 million from sales, maturities, and pay downs (net of purchases) of investment securities. These gains were partially offset by a net increase in loans of $443.7 million and purchases of securities under agreements to resell (net of repayments) of $300.0 million. Investing activities are somewhat unique to financial institutions in that, while large sums of cash flow are normally used to fund growth in investment securities, loans, or other bank assets, they are normally dependent on the financing activities described below. Financing activities used cash of $2.0 billion, largely resulting from decreases in deposits and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $795.0 million and $624.4 million, respectively, and repayments of FHLB borrowings (assumed in the FineMark acquisition), which used cash of $603.9 million during the first six months of 2026. Cash dividend payments (including distributions to non-controlling interest) and purchases of treasury stock used cash of $82.6 million and $196.3 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to a 2.5% capital conservation buffer, which is an amount above the minimum ratios under capital adequacy guidelines, and is intended to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the buffer will result in constraints on dividends, share repurchases, and executive compensation.
The Company maintains a treasury stock buyback program under authorizations by its Board of Directors (the Board) and routinely purchases stock in the open market. On April 24, 2026, the share repurchase authorization was increased to 7,500,000 shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company purchased 3,712,347 shares at an average price of $52.39 in open market purchases and stock-based compensation transactions. At June 30, 2026, 5,425,828 shares remained available for purchase under the Board authorization in place at that date.
The Company's common stock dividend policy reflects its earnings outlook, desired payout ratios, the need to maintain adequate capital levels and alternative investment options. The Company paid a $.275 per share cash dividend on its common stock in the second quarter of 2026, which was a 5.0% increase compared to its 2025 quarterly dividend.
Material Cash Requirements, Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingencies
The Company's material cash requirements include commitments for contractual obligations (both short-term and long-term), commitments to extend credit, and off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company's material cash requirements for the next 12 months are primarily to fund loan growth. Additionally, the Company will utilize cash to fund deposit maturities and withdrawals that may occur in the next 12 months. Other contractual obligations, purchase commitments, lease obligations, and

unfunded commitments may require cash payments by the Company within the next 12 months, and these are further discussed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Further discussion of the Company's longer-term material cash obligations and sources for fulfilling those obligations is below.
In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities arise that are not required to be recorded on the balance sheet. The most significant of these are loan commitments, which at June 30, 2026 totaled $17.0 billion (including $6.0 billion in unused, approved credit card lines). In addition, the Company enters into standby and commercial letters of credit. The contractual amount of standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $722.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2026. As many commitments expire unused or only partially used, these totals do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. The allowance for these commitments is recorded in the Company’s liability for unfunded lending commitments within other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2026, the liability for unfunded lending commitments totaled $20.1 million. See further discussion of the liability for unfunded lending commitments in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company regularly purchases various state tax credits arising from third party property redevelopment. These credits are either resold to third parties or retained for use by the Company. During the first six months of 2026, purchases and sales of tax credits amounted to $28.2 million and $63.3 million, respectively. Fees from sales of tax credits were $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.7 million in the same period last year. At June 30, 2026, the Company expected to fund outstanding purchase commitments of $77.2 million during the remainder of 2026 and had purchase commitments of $495.7 million that it expects to fund from 2027 through 2030.
The Company continued to maintain a strong liquidity position throughout the first six months of 2026. Through the various sources of liquidity described above, the Company maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately satisfy its financial obligations.

Retail Banking
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, income before income taxes for the Retail Banking segment decreased $11.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to the first six months of 2025. The decrease in income before income taxes was mainly due to an increase in non-interest expense of $9.1 million, or 5.5%, and a decline in net interest income of $5.6 million, or 2.2%. These decreases to income were partly offset by an increase in non-interest income of $2.1 million, or 4.3%, and a decline in the provision for credit losses of $1.3 million, or 6.6%. Net interest income declined due to lower loan interest income of $4.7 million and higher deposit interest expense of $2.1 million, partly offset by an increase in net allocated funding credits assigned

Table of Contents
to the Retail Banking segment's loan and deposit portfolios of $1.3 million. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to growth in bank card fee income (mainly credit card fees) and deposit account fees (mainly overdraft and return items fees). Non-interest expense increased over the same period in the previous year mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expense, marketing expense, and allocated support and service costs (mainly information technology, ATM, retail administration and bank operations). These increases were partly offset by lower miscellaneous losses. The decrease in the provision for credit losses from the first six months of 2025 was mainly due to lower auto loan net charge-offs.
Commercial
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, income before income taxes for the Commercial segment decreased $29.2 million, or 15.1%, compared to the same period in the previous year. This decrease was mainly due to higher non-interest expense, an increase in the provision for credit losses, and lower non-interest income, slightly offset by higher net interest income. Net interest income increased $4.1 million, or 1.6%, mainly due to lower interest expense on deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $11.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. These increases to income were partly offset by lower loan interest income of $14.4 million and lower allocated funding credits of $394 thousand. Non-interest income decreased $2.6 million, or 1.8%, mainly due to a decline in gains on the sales of assets, partly offset by higher deposit account fees (mainly corporate cash management fees). Non-interest expense increased $25.4 million, or 12.0%, mainly due to higher legal fees, salaries and benefits expense, miscellaneous losses and allocated service and support costs (mainly information technology and credit administration). The provision for credit losses increased $5.3 million, mainly due to a business real estate loan charge-off on a single senior living loan in the current year.
Wealth
Wealth segment pre-tax profitability for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $41.9 million, or 46.0%, over the same period in the previous year. The increase was mainly due to the FineMark acquisition. Net interest income increased $51.2 million, or 113.3%, mainly due to a $76.8 million increase in loan interest income, partly offset by a $17.0 million increase in deposit interest expense and a $7.7 million decrease in net allocated funding credits. Non-interest income increased $33.9 million, or 26.5%, over the prior year largely due to higher private client and institutional trust fees. Non-interest expense increased $43.2 million, or 52.8%, mainly due to higher salaries and benefits, data processing and software, and occupancy expense. The provision for credit losses increased $20 thousand over the same period last year.
The Other/Elimination category in the preceding table includes the activity of various support and overhead operating units of the Company, in addition to the investment securities portfolio and other items not allocated to the segments. In accordance with the Company’s transfer pricing procedures, the difference between the total provision for credit losses and total net charge-offs/recoveries is not allocated to a business segment and is included in this category. The pre-tax profitability in this category was $26.1 million higher than in the same period last year. Unallocated securities gains were $24.5 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to losses of $7.2 million in 2025. Also, the unallocated provision for credit losses increased $4.4 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans, partly offset by an increase in the liability for unfunded lending commitments, which are both not allocated to the segments for management reporting purposes. Net charge-offs are allocated to the segments when incurred for management reporting purposes. The provision for credit losses on loans in the first six months of 2026 was $17.6 million, or $6.9 million lower than net charge-offs. In the comparable period last year, the provision for credit losses on loans was $23.0 million, or $2.5 million higher than net charge-offs, due to an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased in the current year as a result of the FineMark initial allowance at acquisition of $22.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's provision on unfunded lending commitments was an expense of $2.5 million. Additionally, net interest income and non-interest income increased $15.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, but were offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $27.6 million.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", in December 2023. The amendments in this Update require additional disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This Update also removed certain existing disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this Update for the year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the new disclosures on a retrospective basis.
Purchased Loans The FASB issued ASU 2025-08 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans" in November 2025. This new guidance makes significant changes to the accounting for certain acquired seasoned loans subject to the current expected credit loss model (CECL). Under the ASU, the initial allowance for credit losses recorded upon the acquisition of loans in scope is recognized as an adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the loan - similar to the model for purchased credit deteriorated assets. For these loans, the "day-one" credit loss estimate does not impact earnings immediately but is instead amortized over time as an adjustment to interest income. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in earnings within credit loss expense. The ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within. Early adoption is permitted and amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this Update on January 1, 2026.
Income Statement Reporting The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" in November 2024. The amendments in this Update require new disclosures providing further detail of a company's income statement expense items. This Update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Other than the inclusion of additional disclosures, the adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs The FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvement to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" in September 2025. The amendments in this Update are intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software by eliminating references to software development project stages, making the guidance neutral to various development methodologies, including those currently in use and those that may be developed in the future. This Update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments may be applied on a prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging The FASB issued ASU 2025-09 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements" in December 2025. The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to hedge account intended to better align financial reporting with an entity's risk-management activities. At a high level, the Update provides for a broader application of grouping forecasted transactions in cash flow hedges by replacing 'same risk exposure' requirements with a more flexible 'similar risk exposure' standard, which may apply to the Company's current cash flow hedges. This Update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships, and the Company may elect to adopt the amendments for existing hedging relationships as of the adoption, without dedesignating the hedges. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this Update.
Interim Reporting The FASB issued ASU 2025-11 "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements" in December 2025. The amendments in this Update are intended to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The ASU is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to prior periods presented. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
