Overview Net Interest Income. Our primary source of income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Provision for Credit Losses. We charge provisions for credit losses to operations in order to maintain our allowance for credit losses on loans, securities held to maturity and unfunded commitments at a level that is considered reasonable and necessary to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and securities held to maturity 43 Table of Contents portfolio, as well as expected losses on commitments to grant loans that are expected to be advanced at the statements of condition date. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectability of the principal loan amount is not probable. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses when realized. Non-interest Income. Our primary sources of non-interest income are banking fees and service charges, insurance and wealth management services income and net gains on sale of loans. Our non-interest income also includes net gains or losses on trading securities, other gains and losses, and miscellaneous income. Non-Interest Expense. Our non-interest expense consist of salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment, data processing, advertising and marketing, insurance premiums, federal deposit insurance premiums, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses. Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, and expenses for worker’s compensation and disability insurance, health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits, as well as commissions, share-based compensation and other incentives. Net occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, consist primarily of depreciation charges, rental expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, maintenance, real estate taxes, net gain or loss on disposal or impairment of premises and equipment, and costs of utilities. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using a straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the expected lease terms, if shorter. Data processing expenses are fees we pay to third parties for use of their software and for processing customer information, deposits and loans. Advertising and marketing includes most marketing expenses including multi-media advertising (public and in-store), promotional events and materials, civic and sales focused memberships, and community support. Insurance premiums include expense related to various insurance policies, excluding federal deposit insurance premiums. Federal deposit insurance premiums are payments we make to the FDIC for insurance of our deposit accounts. Professional fees include legal fees and other consulting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include expenses for office supplies, postage, telephone, insurance, litigation-related expense, which includes expenses related to legal proceedings, and other miscellaneous operating expenses. Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realize. ​ 44 Table of Contents “More Than a Bank” Strategy At the heart of our success is our distinctive business strategy to operate as a diversified financial institution focused on our relationship-based model of creating client advocacy through our highly engaged employees. We have continued to thrive through our focused approach to executing on key elements of our business strategy, including strategically growing through deepening client relationships, maintaining an appropriate balance in the overall loan portfolio, diversifying and growing our products and services, working to increase our share of lower-cost core deposits, evaluating opportunities for selective acquisitions, and our ongoing focus on our commitment to an engaged workforce. Recent Acquisitions: Targeted Lending Co., LLC (“Targeted Lending”) As we continue to execute on our business strategy, on April 24, 2026 we completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Targeted Lending, an independent equipment financing company with approximately $120 million of loans on its balance sheet. Total consideration for the transaction was $144.1 million, comprised of $98.7 million to settle certain debt of Targeted Lending, cash of $43.8 million, and potential performance-based cash consideration (“Contingent Consideration”), which was determined to have a fair value of $1.6 million as of April 24, 2026. This Contingent Consideration can be earned over a three-year period commencing with the date of acquisition, and the potential payment of which ranges from zero to $3.0 million. Targeted Lending, as a subsidiary of Pioneer Bank, National Association, will operate as the newly formed Specialty Financing division, expanding our commercial lending capabilities and extending our reach into nationwide equipment finance markets. Targeted Lending through its originator-centric equipment finance platform provides financing solutions for essential, income-producing equipment, offering loans to small and mid-sized businesses across diverse industries. Expansion of Employee Benefits Division On April 20, 2026, we completed the acquisitions of Reiser Consulting Group, Inc. and Wyndham Benefits, LLC. The acquisitions significantly increased the size of our Employee Benefits division and strengthens our ability to deliver expanded services and product offerings for both current and prospective clients. Acquisition of The College Advisor of New York On July 16, 2026, Pioneer completed the acquisition of CAONY, Inc., operating under the name of The College Advisors of New York, a specialized firm that helps families navigate the college search and admissions process with personalized guidance, hands on support, and assistance identifying colleges that are the right academic, personal, and financial fit. These acquisitions further advance Pioneer’s “More Than a Bank” strategy by expanding our capabilities, diversifying revenue streams, and strengthening the value we deliver to clients. As we look forward, our strategic focus remains clear: to deliver long-term value to our stockholders while serving the needs of our clients, employees, and communities. Our strategy of being “More Than a Bank” will continue to prioritize growth in key markets, disciplined lending, diversifying revenue streams and expanding our product and service offerings to meet evolving client needs. ​ ​ 45 Table of Contents Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies and estimates discussed below to be critical accounting policies and estimates. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations. The following represent our critical accounting policies and estimates: Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for credit losses on loans, securities held to maturity and unfunded commitments. The measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) on financial instruments requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, macroeconomic variables (e.g., civilian unemployment and U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”)), and reasonable and supportable forecasts from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. The Company then considers whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Finally, the Company considers forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable. On a case-by-case basis, the Company may conclude that a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis based on its disparate risk characteristics. When the Company determines that a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio, the allowance will be determined on an individual basis using the present value of expected cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the estimated fair value of the collateral, as applicable. The allowance for credit losses on loans and securities held to maturity, as reported in our consolidated statements of condition, are adjusted by a provision for credit losses, which is recognized in earnings, and reduced by the charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments represents the expected credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. However, a liability is not recognized for commitments unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws and is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. As a substantial percentage of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. Management carefully reviews the assumptions supporting such appraisals to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans. Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting estimate given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover management’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our loan portfolios. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, including making significant estimates of current credit risks and trends using existing quantitative and qualitative information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, which may undergo frequent and material changes. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolios, in light of changes in economic conditions, new information regarding existing loans and other factors, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. For example, changes to the FOMC’s forecasted civilian unemployment rate and year-over-year U.S. GDP growth could have a material impact on the model’s estimation of the allowance for credit losses on loans. An immediate increase of 100 basis points in the FOMC’s projected rate of civilian unemployment and a decrease of 100 basis points in the FOMC’s projected rate of U.S. GDP growth would increase the model’s total calculated 46 Table of Contents allowance for credit losses on loans by $1.7 million, or 6.1%, as of June 30, 2026 assuming qualitative adjustments are kept at current levels. While management’s current evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicates that the allowance is appropriate, the allowance may need to be increased under adversely different conditions or assumptions. Additionally, changes in those factors and inputs may not occur at the same rate and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvements in one factor may offset deterioration in others. Going forward, the impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the allowance for credit losses will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolios, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the allowance for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingent Liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in a number of legal, regulatory, governmental and other proceedings, claims or investigations that could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, which could be significant concerning matters arising from the conduct of our business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly where the claimants seek large or indeterminate damages, we generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. Our estimate of potential losses will change over time and the actual losses may exceed these estimates, and there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, management, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluate on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable; or where a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, whether it is possible to estimate a range of possible loss. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, we establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. We continue to monitor the matters for further developments, including our interactions with various regulatory agencies with supervisory authority over us, that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established and make adjustments upward or downward, as appropriate. These estimates are based upon currently available information and are subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the accrued liability and estimated range of possible losses are unpredictable and may change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate and accrual which could have a material negative effect on our financial results. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting generally requires that the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the cost of the acquired business in excess of the fair value of the related net assets acquired. The determination of fair value often involves the use of internal or third-party valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses or appraisals. Particularly, the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of loans and the customer relationships intangible asset acquired in the Targeted Lending acquisition include assumptions that are inherently subjective. The valuation of acquired loans relied on a discounted cash flow approach applied on an individual loan basis, with certain pool level assumptions. This methodology segmented the acquired loan portfolio by loan type and incorporated specific key valuation assumptions, encompassing probability of default, loss given default, and the discount rate to ascertain the fair value of these assets. Given the inherent subjectivity and reliance on future cash flows and market conditions, this process involves considerable judgment and estimation uncertainty. In addition the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was estimated with an income approach using a multi-period excess earnings method which discounts expected future cash flows, taking into account historic customer attrition rates and contributory asset charges, among other factors. The fair value of the developed technologies intangible asset was estimated with an income approach using a relief from royalty method, taking into account attributable revenue and obsolescence patterns, among other factors. ​ ​ ​ 47 Table of Contents Average Balances and Yields The following tables set forth average balances, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense, as applicable. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Three Months Ended June 30, ​ ​ 2026 ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Outstanding ​ ​ ​ Yield/Cost ​ Outstanding ​ ​ ​ Yield/Cost ​ ​ Balance ​ Interest ​ (4) ​ Balance ​ Interest ​ (4) ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) ​ Interest-earning assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ $ 1,818,475 ​ $ 27,820 6.28 % $ 1,515,296 ​ $ 22,332 6.04 % Securities ​ 243,807 ​ 2,976 4.99 % 352,910 ​ 3,942 4.56 % Interest-earning deposits, trading securities, and other ​ 102,703 ​ 1,076 4.27 % 64,516 ​ 732 4.63 % Total interest-earning assets ​ 2,164,985 ​ 31,872 6.04 % 1,932,722 ​ 27,006 5.72 % Non-interest-earning assets ​ 152,514 ​ ​ ​ ​ 128,283 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets ​ $ 2,317,499 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2,061,005 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest-bearing liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Demand deposits ​ $ 144,684 ​ $ 620 1.73 % $ 126,317 ​ $ 686 2.20 % Savings deposits ​ 248,900 ​ 79 0.13 % 261,282 ​ 86 0.13 % Money market deposits ​ 678,729 ​ 4,565 2.72 % 632,085 ​ 4,555 2.92 % Certificates of deposit ​ 364,237 ​ 3,340 3.73 % 165,326 ​ 1,517 3.73 % Total interest-bearing deposits ​ 1,436,550 ​ 8,604 2.42 % 1,185,010 ​ 6,844 2.34 % Borrowings and other ​ 50,957 ​ 415 3.31 % 54,838 ​ 554 4.11 % Total interest-bearing liabilities ​ 1,487,507 ​ 9,019 2.45 % 1,239,848 ​ 7,398 2.41 % Non-interest-bearing deposits ​ ​ 467,209 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 479,570 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Other non-interest-bearing liabilities ​ 37,191 ​ ​ ​ ​ 27,097 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities ​ 1,991,907 ​ ​ ​ ​ 1,746,515 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total shareholders' equity ​ 325,592 ​ ​ ​ ​ 314,490 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities and shareholders' equity ​ $ 2,317,499 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2,061,005 ​ ​ ​ ​ Net interest income ​ ​ ​ $ 22,853 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 19,608 ​ ​ Net interest rate spread (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 3.58 % ​ ​ ​ 3.31 % Net interest-earning assets (2) ​ $ 677,478 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 692,874 ​ ​ ​ ​ Net interest margin (3) ​ ​ ​ ​ 4.30 % ​ ​ ​ 4.13 % Average interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities ​ 145.54 % ​ ​ ​ 155.88 % ​ ​ ​ (1) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Total assets of $2.36 billion at June 30, 2026 increased $213.0 million, or 9.9%, from $2.15 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $224.6 million, or 13.6%, in net loans receivable and an increase of $22.0 million, or 100.0%, in trading securities, offset in part by a decrease of $39.1 million, or 29.3% in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease of $19.5 million, or 8.9%, in securities available for sale. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents of $94.6 million at June 30, 2026, decreased $39.1 million, or 29.3%, from $133.7 million at December 31, 2025. Securities Available for Sale. Total securities available for sale of $200.9 million at June 30, 2026 decreased $19.5 million, or 8.9%, from $220.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to maturities, paydowns and calls of $45.8 million, offset in part by purchases of $28.0 million of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Securities Held to Maturity. Total securities held to maturity of $44.8 million at June 30, 2026 increased $3.3 million, or 7.8%, from $41.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to purchases of $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Trading Securities.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses Asset Quality. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method. When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value, less estimated costs to sell. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan over the fair market value of the property is charged against the allowance for credit losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense in the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. 56 Table of Contents The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ At ​ At ​ ​ June 30, ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2026 ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) Non-accrual loans: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial real estate ​ $ 2,029 ​ $ 6,074 ​ Commercial and industrial ​ 752 ​ 3 ​ Commercial construction ​ — ​ — ​ Residential mortgages ​ 5,128 ​ 3,860 ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ 1,196 ​ 1,307 ​ Consumer ​ — ​ — ​ Total non-accrual loans ​ 9,105 ​ 11,244 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accruing loans past due 90 days or more: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ 6 ​ Commercial and industrial ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial construction ​ — ​ — ​ Residential mortgages ​ — ​ — ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ — ​ Consumer ​ — ​ — ​ Total accruing loans past due 90 days or more ​ — ​ 6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Real estate owned ​ — ​ — ​ Repossessed assets ​ ​ 297 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total non-performing assets ​ $ 9,402 ​ $ 11,250 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total non-performing loans to total loans ​ 0.48 % 0.67 % Total non-performing assets to total assets ​ 0.40 % 0.52 % ​ Non-accrual loans decreased $2.1 million to $9.1 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.2 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to paydowns of $2.7 million on a commercial real estate loan relationship secured by multiple office, warehouse and industrial properties during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the payoff of a $820,000 commercial real estate loan and the paydown and partial charge-off of a $844,000 commercial real estate loan that was secured by manufactured housing parks. The decrease in non-accrual loans was partially offset by an increase in commercial and industrial non-accrual equipment loans as a result of the Targeted Lending acquisition and an increase in non-accrual residential mortgages. At June 30, 2026, repossessed assets consisted of repossessed business equipment recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value less estimated cost to sell. Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention.” ​ 57 Table of Contents The following table sets forth our amounts of all classified loans and loans designated as special mention as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2026 ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ (In thousands) Classification of Loans: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Substandard ​ $ 15,460 ​ $ 26,068 Doubtful ​ 62 ​ 919 Loss ​ — ​ — Total Classified Loans ​ $ 15,522 ​ $ 26,987 Special Mention ​ $ 1,963 ​ $ 7,404 ​ Total substandard loans decreased $10.6 million to $15.5 million at June 30, 2026 from $26.1 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to the migration from the substandard category to the pass category of a $6.4 million commercial real estate loan as a result of being refinanced to a new ownership group, and due to paydowns of $2.6 million on a commercial real estate loan relationship secured by multiple office, warehouse and industrial properties during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Total special mention loans decreased by $5.4 million to $2.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to the migration from the special mention category to the pass category of a $4.9 million commercial real estate loan secured by senior housing property. Total doubtful loans decreased by $857,000 to $62,000 at June 30, 2026 from $919,000 at December 31, 2025 primarily due to the paydown and partial charge-off of a $844,000 commercial real estate loan that was secured by manufactured housing parks. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. The measurement of CECL on loans requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. The Company then considers whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Finally, the Company considers forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable. On a case-by-case basis, the Company may conclude that a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis based on its disparate risk characteristics. When the Company determines that a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio, the allowance will be determined on an individual basis using the present value of expected cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the estimated fair value of the collateral, as applicable. The allowance for credit losses on loans, as reported in our consolidated statements of condition, is adjusted by a provision for credit losses, which is recognized in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loans, net of recoveries. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgments by our management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolios, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. While management’s current evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicates that the allowance is appropriate, the allowance may need to be increased under adversely different conditions or assumptions. The impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the allowance for credit losses is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolios, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the allowance for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for credit losses on loans and as a result of such reviews, we may have to materially adjust our allowance for credit losses on loans or recognize further loan charge-offs. 58 Table of Contents The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for credit losses on loans for the periods indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ At or for the ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2026 ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) Allowance at beginning of period ​ $ 25,305 ​ $ 21,754 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Allowance for credit losses on purchased seasoned loans ​ ​ 2,172 ​ ​ — ​ Allowance for credit losses on purchased credit deteriorated loans ​ ​ 402 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Provision for credit losses ​ 1,700 ​ 2,135 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Charge offs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial real estate ​ 232 ​ 69 ​ Commercial and industrial ​ 1,388 ​ — ​ Commercial construction ​ — ​ — ​ Residential mortgages ​ — ​ 4 ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ 23 ​ Consumer ​ 46 ​ 48 ​ Total charge-offs ​ 1,666 ​ 144 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Recoveries: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial and industrial ​ 133 ​ 15 ​ Commercial construction ​ — ​ — ​ Residential mortgages ​ 5 ​ 32 ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ — ​ Consumer ​ 20 ​ 12 ​ Total recoveries ​ 158 ​ 59 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net charge-offs ​ 1,508 ​ 85 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Allowance at end of period ​ $ 28,071 ​ $ 23,804 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Allowance to non-performing loans ​ 308.30 % 218.63 % Allowance to total loans outstanding at the end of the period ​ 1.48 % 1.52 % Net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding during the period (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial real estate ​ ​ 0.10 % ​ 0.03 % Commercial and industrial ​ ​ 1.70 % ​ (0.03) % Commercial construction ​ ​ — % ​ — % Residential mortgages ​ ​ — % ​ (0.01) % Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ ​ — % ​ 0.05 % Consumer ​ ​ 0.22 % ​ 0.31 % Total ​ 0.17 % 0.01 % (1) Annualized. The increase in net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loan net charge-offs due to an $854,000 charge-off related to one commercial borrower, as well as net charge-offs on the acquired Targeted Lending loans during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in commercial real estate net charge-offs was due to an $232,000 charge-off on a previously non-accrual loan that was secured by manufactured housing parks. 59 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLBNY. At June 30, 2026, we had the ability to borrow up to $653.4 million from the FHLBNY, of which none was utilized for borrowings and $297.0 million was utilized as collateral for letters of credit issued to secure municipal deposits. At June 30, 2026, we also had a $20.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank with no outstanding balance, as well as the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York through the discount window lending program, and access to the reciprocal and brokered deposit markets. We cannot accurately predict what the impact of the events described in the “Legal Proceedings” section may have on our liquidity and capital resources. For example, costs associated with prosecuting, litigating or settling any litigation, satisfying any adverse judgments, if any, could be significant. We continue to monitor these matters for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been established. See “Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings” and “Part I, Item 1 – Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 9 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities – Legal Proceedings and Other Contingent Liabilities” elsewhere in this report for more information. For those matters for which a loss is reasonably possible and estimable, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company’s estimated range of possible loss is $0 to $18.1 million in excess of the accrued liability, if any, as of June 30, 2026. These estimates are based upon currently available information and are subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the accrued liability and estimated range of possible losses are unpredictable and may change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate and accrual. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure. These legal, regulatory, governmental and other proceedings, claims or investigations, costs, settlements, judgments, sanctions or other expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or cause significant reputational harm and subject us to civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or other material regulatory consequences. The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we had enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2026. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any period. At June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $94.6 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $200.9 million at June 30, 2026. We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2026 totaled $465.1 million, or 23.6%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and FHLBNY advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). At June 30, 2026, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by 60 Table of Contents regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires the Bank to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined), and common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Under Basel III rules, banks must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid limitations on distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%. The federal banking agencies, including the OCC, issued a rule pursuant to The Economic Growth Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (the “Regulatory Relief Act”) to establish for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion a “community bank leverage ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) of 9% that qualifying institutions may elect to use in lieu of the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under Basel III. If an election to use the community bank leverage ratio capital framework is made, a qualifying bank with less than $10 billion in assets with capital exceeding the specified community bank leverage ratio is considered compliant with all applicable regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the requirement to be “well capitalized.” Effective July 1, 2026, the OCC revised the minimum capital for the community bank leverage ratio to 8.00%. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank had not elected to be subject to the alternative community bank leverage ratio framework. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. Further, the most recent OCC notification categorized the Bank as a well capitalized institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. There have been no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s capital classification. The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Bank are presented in the following tables (dollars in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ To be Well ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For Capital ​ Capitalized Under ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For Capital ​ Adequacy Purposes ​ Prompt ​ ​ Actual ​ Adequacy Purposes ​ with Capital Buffer ​ Corrective Action ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount ​ ​ ​ Ratio ​ ​ ​ Amount ​ ​ ​ Ratio ​ ​ ​ Amount ​ ​ ​ Ratio ​ ​ ​ Amount ​ ​ ​ Ratio Pioneer Bank, National Association: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of June 30, 2026 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tier 1 (leverage) capital ​ $ 223,620 ​ 9.97 % $ 89,682 4.00 % ​ N/A N/A ​ $ 112,103 ​ 5.00 % Risk-based capital ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Common Tier 1 ​ $ 223,620 ​ 13.22 % $ 76,096 4.50 % $ 118,372 ​ 7.00 % $ 109,917 ​ 6.50 % Tier 1 ​ $ 223,620 ​ 13.22 % $ 101,462 6.00 % $ 143,738 ​ 8.50 % $ 135,283 ​ 8.00 % Total ​ $ 244,879 ​ 14.48 % $ 135,283 8.00 % $ 177,558 ​ 10.50 % $ 169,103 ​ 10.00 % ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tier 1 (leverage) capital ​ $ 240,647 ​ 11.53 % $ 83,492 4.00 % ​ N/A N/A ​ $ 104,365 ​ 5.00 % Risk-based capital ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Common Tier 1 ​ $ 240,647 ​ 16.30 % $ 66,441 4.50 % $ 103,353 ​ 7.00 % $ 95,970 ​ 6.50 % Tier 1 ​ $ 240,647 ​ 16.30 % $ 88,588 6.00 % $ 125,500 ​ 8.50 % $ 118,117 ​ 8.00 % Total ​ $ 259,218 ​ 17.56 % $ 118,117 8.00 % $ 155,029 ​ 10.50 % $ 147,647 ​ 10.00 % ​ 61 Table of Contents ​ Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. The financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. At June 30, 2026, we had $372.5 million of commitments to originate or purchase loans, comprised of $238.2 million of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $100.0 million of unadvanced portions of commercial construction loans), $84.7 million of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $42.7 million of commitments to purchase residential mortgage loans and $6.9 million of unfunded commitments under consumer lines of credit. In addition, at June 30, 2026, we had $26.5 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices Our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
