The commercial loan pipeline remained robust at $711 million and will help drive continued growth in Q4-25. ▪ Deposits, excluding brokered deposit run-off of $118 million, increased $321 million from the linked quarter showing continued strength in funding. ▪ Premier Banking(3) teams (hired in April) have contributed $242 million of deposits – an increase of $127 million from the linked quarter – at a weighted average cost of 2.64%. Based on performance and pipeline to date, we remain optimistic on the trajectory of the Premier Bank’s growth. ▪ We announced the strategic decision to outsource our residential loan originations and title business platforms. This will drive an anticipated annual expense savings of approximately $14 million offset in part by a reduction of residential loan sales in 2026. One-time costs associated with this initiative totaled $4 million in Q3-25 and approximately $8 million in Q4-25. 10
