For calculations of this measure and reconciliations to GAAP, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We calculate tangible book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. We calculate realized book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Net interest margin FTE includes a fully taxable equivalent basis adjustment using a 21.0% federal income tax rate on tax-exempt securities and tax-exempt loans. Efficiency ratio represents operating expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets, less intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS Dear Fellow Shareholders, As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the significant challenges that have shaped our industry over the last 48 months. The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, a historically turbulent and volatile interest rate market, and a regulatory “super cycle” have created a complex and demanding operating environment for our company and the banking sector as a whole. Despite these challenges, 2024 was a year of consistent, steady, and strong performance for Red River Bancshares, Inc. Since our founding in 1998, our mission has been to provide reliable and high-quality banking services to our customers and communities, both in times of prosperity and adversity. We strive to deliver consistent financial performance that enhances shareholder value over time. Our team is committed to proven risk management principles, recognizing that economic cycles are an inherent part of a capitalist, free market economy. Our guiding principles, which we refer to as our five core beliefs, underpin our daily behaviors and decision-making. These principles are: Confidentiality Service Excellence Innovation Our Communities Integrity We believe that these principles, combined with a strong culture, solid banking practices, and hard work, are essential to driving financial performance. We are proud to report net income of $34.2 million for the year, which was consistent with the previous year’s results. Our 2024 return on assets was 1.11%, and return on equity was 11.02%, both of which compare favorably to our peer group and the overall banking industry. Diluted earnings per share was $4.95 for 2024, compared to $4.86 for 2023. In 2024, we repurchased 4.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock, which positively impacted earnings per share and benefited all shareholders. While many banks reported muted loan growth and contracting deposit balances, we maintained consistent deposits and had loan growth of slightly over 4%. We continue to navigate the impact of interest rate changes on our balance sheet and income statement, and are pleased to report our net interest margin expanded over the course of the year. The Federal Reserve’s 100 basis-point decrease to the target federal funds rate alleviated deposit rate pressure, while still allowing us to reprice assets at higher levels. These factors enabled us to improve core earnings. Our non-interest fee income sources were solid, driven by slightly higher mortgage income, growth in assets under management in our Red River Investments Group, and robust loan and deposit fees. We remain committed to investing in our infrastructure, with a focus on expanding into new markets along the I-10 corridor. Our newest location in Metairie is one of the most vibrant and fastest-growing areas in the state. $1,500 $2,500 $3,500 '20 '21 '22 '23 '24 Balance Sheet Trends (in millions) Loans HFI Assets Deposits

During the year, we also embarked on a significant upgrade to our online and mobile banking platform, which was rolled out to customers in February 2025. This upgrade and investment reflects our commitment to providing quick and easy access to experienced, knowledgeable bankers, combined with user-friendly technology that allows our customers to conduct their banking business when and where they choose. As we enter a new year, our Company is well-positioned for the future. Our balance sheet is robust, with capital levels significantly exceeding regulatory requirements. This enables us to continue buying back stock, paying cash dividends to shareholders, and exploring acquisition opportunities. Our deposit and loan portfolios are comprised of customers in the markets we serve, and both are granular and stable. Our liquidity position is strong, with no debt, wholesale funding, or brokered deposits. Our core earnings are solid and improving, and we are optimistic that we can expand the net interest margin as the interest rate yield curve returns to a more normal, positive slope. Our optimism for the year ahead is also influenced by changes in Louisiana and at a federal level. Recently, the Louisiana governor and legislature completed a special session, making significant changes that simplified the Louisiana tax code and lowered income tax rates for individuals and corporations effective January 1, 2025. These changes greatly improved Louisiana’s regional competitive standing and are already generating fresh opportunities for industrial growth. The Federal election was significant with regard to U.S. energy policies, which have vast repercussions for states that are major producers of oil and natural gas, like Louisiana. A brighter outlook for the energy sector, combined with the anticipation of easing regulatory burdens on the banking industry and other sectors, has boosted optimism in the private sector. Feedback from our customers as I visit around the state reveals confidence in the coming years. The Red River Bank team is tenured and tested, with our management group having worked together for over 25 years. We remain committed to the values and principles that have allowed us to organically grow a statewide presence throughout Louisiana. We were honored to be recognized as one of the best banks in the country to work for by the American Banker publication, and as one of the top-performing community banks in the $3-10 billion asset class by S&P Global Market Intelligence. 2024 was a year of progress, and I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to our team of bankers who come to work every day with passion and dedication to their customers, communities, and colleagues. I also want to thank our Board of Directors for their steady guidance and wise counsel. We were saddened by the loss of Robert Nichols, who passed away unexpectedly in 2024, and we will miss his wit, wisdom, and counsel. Thank you for your investment in Red River Bancshares. We look forward to the year ahead and to growing the value of your investment. Sincerely, R. Blake Chatelain President and Chief Executive Officer $700 $1,700 $2,700 $3,700 '18 '19 '20 '21 '22 Balance Sheet Trends (in millions) Loans HFI Assets Deposits

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words, or such other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: • volatility and direction of market interest rates; • business and economic conditions generally, in the financial services industry, nationally, and within our local market areas; • government intervention in the U.S. financial system, including the effects of recent and future legislative, tax, accounting, and regulatory actions and reforms, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other stimulus legislation or changes in banking, securities, accounting, and tax laws and regulations, and their application by our regulators; • changes in management personnel; • increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions; • our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships and our reputation, and to otherwise avoid liquidity risks; • factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; • changes in the value of collateral securing our loans; • risks associated with system failures or failures to protect against cybersecurity threats, such as breaches of our network security; • deterioration of our asset quality; • the adequacy of our reserves, including our ACL; • operational risks associated with our business; • natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism, tariffs, trade wars, pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities or tensions with other countries, or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control; • our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy; • compliance with the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us; • changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, or policies relating to financial institutions, accounting, tax, trade, monetary, and fiscal matters; and • the risk factors found in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report, as well as in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Report. Additional information on these and other risk factors can be found in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward- looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict what risks will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. 6

PART I Item 1. Business OUR COMPANY Red River Bancshares, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, was founded in 1998 and is a bank holding company headquartered in Alexandria, Louisiana. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Red River Bank, a Louisiana state-chartered bank, we provide a fully integrated suite of banking products and services tailored to the needs of our commercial and retail customers. Our mission is to be the premier statewide banking organization in Louisiana. We completed an initial public offering of our common stock in May 2019. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RRBI.” As of December 31, 2024, we were the sixth largest financial institution headquartered in Louisiana based on assets, with total assets of $3.15 billion, loans HFI of $2.08 billion, total deposits of $2.81 billion, and total stockholders’ equity of $319.7 million. OUR MARKETS As of December 31, 2024, we operated from a network of 28 banking centers throughout Louisiana and one combined LDPO in New Orleans, Louisiana. Banking centers are located in the following Louisiana markets: Central, which includes the Alexandria MSA; Northwest, which includes the Shreveport-Bossier City MSA; Capital, which includes the Baton Rouge MSA; Southwest, which includes the Lake Charles MSA; the Northshore, which includes Covington; Acadiana, which includes the Lafayette MSA; and New Orleans. We believe our markets offer us an attractive combination of growth opportunities and core deposit stability, as well as loan diversity. We operate nine banking centers, including our main office, in the Central Louisiana market, which we define to include Rapides and Avoyelles Parishes. We operate seven banking centers in our Northwest Louisiana market, which we define to include Caddo, Bossier, and DeSoto Parishes. In our Capital market, which we define to include East Baton Rouge and Ascension Parishes, we operate six banking centers. We operate two banking centers in our Southwest Louisiana market, which we define to include Calcasieu Parish. In our Northshore Louisiana market, which we define to include St. Tammany Parish, we operate one banking center. We operate one banking center in our Acadiana market, which we define to include Lafayette Parish. In our New Orleans market, which we define to include Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, we operate two banking centers and one combined LDPO. We believe our current markets provide ample opportunities for the continued growth of our customer base, loans, and deposits, as well as the expansion of our overall market share in each area. Our goal is to replicate this growth in new markets as we continue to expand and implement our growth and expansion strategy. We believe our current markets, which are in diverse parts of Louisiana, are economic centers that provide for natural credit diversification and a hedge against industry downturns. We are purposeful in choosing banking center locations and have sought out key locations in Louisiana through de novo development, as well as through two whole-bank acquisitions. Our emphasis on having a strategic network of banking centers, staffed by experienced bankers, differentiates us from our national and regional bank competitors, who are increasingly moving their customers to digital-only banking platforms with limited personal service. GROWTH AND EXPANSION STRATEGY We have concentrated our efforts on building our market presence in key metropolitan markets within the state of Louisiana where our target customers are underserved and well-suited for the commercial, retail, and private banking products and services that we provide. We serve our customers’ needs within the markets where we have operations and in other areas where our customers operate. We also promote our business to potential customers in markets contiguous to Louisiana. We intend to leverage our competitive strengths to take advantage of what we believe are significant growth opportunities within our existing footprint and other strategic market areas that we believe complement our strategic plan. Our growth strategy includes the following: Expand Market Share in Existing Markets We want to be the market leader and have a significant market share in all of the communities we serve. Organic growth is our primary focus, which may be supplemented with strategic, targeted acquisitions when and if appropriate. We intend to expand our banking center network by opening additional banking centers in our existing markets to provide our customers with more convenient banking locations. We understand that relationships are our strategic advantage, and we continually seek to identify and recruit experienced bankers with broad relationship networks within our existing markets. We then strengthen those relationships by offering personalized products and services. We attract new customers through personal outreach by our bankers, targeted marketing campaigns, advertising in a variety of traditional and social media, and by filling the void left by competitors who are closing banking offices. Other outreach activities include helping our communities during times of need and having a presence at community events. 7

Opportunistic New Market Expansion When evaluating potential new market opportunities, our standard due diligence includes both an assessment of the local economy as well as analysis of the local banking landscape. Our target markets include markets with significant disruption by competitors and where market share is held by large national and regional banks. We generally establish a presence with an LDPO and then build or buy and remodel a banking center. Since 2017, as part of our new market expansion plan, we expanded operations into four new markets. In 2017, we began operations in the Southwest Louisiana market, which includes the Lake Charles, Louisiana MSA. During 2019, we entered the Northshore market, located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, near New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2020, we entered the Acadiana market, which includes the Lafayette, Louisiana MSA. In 2021, we entered the New Orleans market by opening a combined LDPO in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, which was followed by a full-service banking center in 2022. In the second quarter of 2024, we opened our third banking location in the New Orleans market with a full-service banking center in Metairie, Louisiana. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we purchased property in Lafayette, Louisiana, and plan to build a new banking center at that location, which would be our second full-service banking center in the Acadiana market. Disciplined Acquisition Strategy Our primary focus continues to be on organic expansion; however, we will identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities that we believe are consistent with our mission and can provide opportunities for improved profitability and increased market share. Our historic approach to potential acquisitions has been strategic and disciplined. Since inception, we completed two whole-bank acquisitions of institutions with customer-oriented, compatible philosophies in desirable geographic areas. These acquisitions provided us the opportunity to expand the delivery of our relationship-driven brand of banking. BANKING SERVICES We are primarily a business-focused banking organization, delivering specialized services to our customers. We target privately-owned commercial and industrial operating companies for both credit and treasury management services, while also providing owners and key employees with the same customized, personal service for their individual financial needs. Our personal banking business supports our commercial banking focus, provides attractive customer diversification, and enhances our growing base of core deposits. We offer each of these customers sophisticated products and services similar to those of much larger banks but delivered by bankers who can provide local and responsive decision-making, personal assistance, and an interest in our customers’ personal goals and the success of their businesses. Lending Lending activities originate from the efforts of our bankers, with an emphasis on lending to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and individual consumers. Our lending policies and underwriting standards seek to maintain asset quality through an emphasis on local market knowledge, long-term customer relationships, and consistent and thorough underwriting for all loans, including debt service capacity requirements, collateral requirements, and loan-to- value limits, among other established criteria. Our loan approval policies establish concentrations limits with respect to industry and certain loan product types to enhance portfolio diversification. Additionally, our loan concentrations policy sets limits on certain concentrations within the CRE portfolio based on factors such as industry and property type. These limits are reviewed quarterly as part of our management reporting to our Directors’ Loan Committee and the board. These limits are adjusted as deemed necessary by our Directors’ Loan Committee and the board. Real Estate Loans Commercial Real Estate Loans (Owner Occupied). We focus on the banking needs of established operating companies, which includes owner occupied office and industrial real estate loans. Risks associated with owner occupied CRE include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management. In addition to a proven management team and track record, we focus on businesses with a history of strong, recurring cash flows. In particular, we target wholesale and professional service companies, as well as businesses with unique strengths in niche markets. Loans are conservatively underwritten and typically carry the personal guarantee of the business owners. We believe this portfolio segment is well-diversified by industry type. As of December 31, 2024, our owner occupied CRE loans were 20.5% of loans HFI. Commercial Real Estate Loans (Non-Owner Occupied). Our pursuit of non-owner occupied CRE properties is reserved primarily for developers and other persons or entities of influence who present additional business and personal relationship opportunities. This strategy is evidenced by our modest level of these loans relative to our capital, which has been consistent for many years. Risks associated with non-owner occupied CRE include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management. We target property types with a greater ability to withstand changes in market forces. Our underwriting criteria for non-owner occupied properties is even more conservative than our underwriting criteria for owner occupied properties due to the higher inherent risks generally associated with the former. Our target rate of return is also higher for non-owner occupied CRE loans. As of December 31, 2024, our non-owner occupied CRE loans were 22.1% of loans HFI. 8

One-to-Four Family Residential Loans. We offer primary and secondary liens on one-to-four family mortgage loans, as well as home equity lines of credit, in each case primarily on owner occupied primary residences. Our retail consumer real estate lending products are offered primarily to consumer customers. Although our consumer real estate loan portfolio presents lower levels of risk than our commercial and industrial, CRE, and construction and development loan portfolios, we are exposed to risks based on fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrower’s financial condition, which could be affected by numerous factors, including divorce, job loss, illness, or other personal hardship. As of December 31, 2024, our one-to-four family residential loans were 29.6% of loans HFI. Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development portfolio includes loans to small and medium- sized businesses to construct owner occupied facilities, loans to developers of CRE investment properties and residential developments, and, to a lesser extent, loans to individual clients for construction of single-family homes. Risks associated with construction loans include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, and change in market trends. We are also exposed to risk based on the ability of the construction loan borrower to finance the loan or sell the property upon completion of the project, which may be affected by changes in secondary market terms and criteria for permanent financing since the time that we funded the construction loan. As of December 31, 2024, our construction and development loans were 7.5% of loans HFI. Commercial and Industrial Loans We have expertise in meeting the financing needs of commercial operating companies. Our specialists in these areas understand the cash cycle, working capital, and the fixed asset acquisition needs of businesses, which allows us to deliver customizable and effective financing solutions. The risks associated with commercial and industrial loans are derived from the expectation that the loans are generally serviced from the operations of the business, and those operations may not be successful. In addition, the collateral securing commercial and industrial loans generally includes movable property, which may decline in value more rapidly than anticipated. We recommend and utilize sound commercial and industrial loan structures that limit our risks as a lender, while also helping to drive the success of our clients’ businesses. Commercial and industrial loans comprised 15.8% of loans HFI as of December 31, 2024. Tax-Exempt Loans We make tax-exempt loans to political subdivisions of the State of Louisiana including parishes, municipalities, utility districts, school districts, and development authorities. These loans undergo the same underwriting as any of our other loans and are typically secured by and paid for by ad valorem taxes. As of December 31, 2024, our tax-exempt loans were 3.1% of loans HFI. Consumer Loans We also make a variety of loans to individuals for personal, family, and household purposes, including secured and unsecured installment and term loans. We offer consumer loans as an accommodation to our existing customers and do not market consumer loans to persons who do not have a pre-existing relationship with us. Our consumer loans, which are underwritten primarily based on the borrower’s financial condition and, in some cases, are unsecured credits, subject us to risk based on changes in the borrower’s financial condition, which could be affected by numerous factors, including divorce, job loss, illness or other personal hardship, and fluctuations in the value of the real estate or personal property securing the consumer loan, if any. As of December 31, 2024, our consumer loans were 1.4% of loans HFI. Loans Held for Sale Our mortgage lending group originates home mortgage loans that are sold to investors on the secondary market. Loan types include conventional, VA, FHA, and Rural Development. In addition, the mortgage lending department plays a critical role in meeting our community reinvestment and fair lending goals. The mortgage group has a community specialist in each major market focused on low-income and first-time home buyers, and we participate in various down payment assistance and low-income home loan programs to ensure the needs of our entire banking community are satisfied. Commitments to Extend Credit We had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the forms of lines of credit and standby letters of credit of approximately $521.5 million as of December 31, 2024. We use the same credit policies in making these commitments as we do for our other loans. Deposits An important aspect of our business franchise is the ability to gather deposits. We offer a wide range of deposit products, including checking, savings, money market accounts, and time deposits. We obtain most of our deposits from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities primarily in our market areas. We do not have brokered deposits. Our bankers are experienced business developers with extensive contacts and connections with targeted clients and centers of influence throughout our communities. Our team is focused on driving relationships and noninterest-bearing accounts. 9

We believe that the rates we offer for core deposits are competitive with those offered by other financial institutions in our market areas. Treasury Management Services Many of our clients and prospective clients have sophisticated depository needs. Our full array of commercial treasury services is designed to be competitive with banks of all sizes. Treasury management services include ways to help our business customers manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, account fraud risk, and information reporting. Treasury management deposit products consist of remote deposit capture, automated clearing house origination, merchant services, positive pay and automated fraud detection tools, account reconciliation services, zero balance accounts, and sweep accounts, including loan and investment sweep accounts. We have dedicated teams who partner with our commercial and private bankers to meet those needs. Our TMSOs analyze clients’ account activity and cash utilization and then recommend and implement solutions that enhance our clients’ efficiency, mitigate risks to their businesses, and maximize their earnings on available liquidity. Our TMSOs provide in-person assistance with the initial setup of treasury services, as well as client support post-implementation. Private Banking Services Our private banking group provides specialized deposit and loan products and services to high net worth individuals, business owners, and professionals. Consistent with our overall business philosophy, we seek to develop long-term relationships with our private banking clients through an emphasis on personal service and products tailored to their specific needs. From checking and savings products to sophisticated financing structures, we work to meet our clients’ changing needs. Brokerage Services We offer a broad range of products and services designed to meet the investment needs of all of our customers through our investment group and LPL Financial LLC, our registered broker-dealer. Our investment group executives, who are available to serve clients in each of our markets, strive to fully understand each client’s unique financial situation, deliver a comprehensive plan, and provide the appropriate products to meet their needs. Our investment products include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, alternative investments, annuities, and insurance products. Through our partnership with registered investment advisors, our investment group also provides investment advisory services, financial planning services, and a comprehensive suite of retirement plans. As of December 31, 2024, our investment group had $1.14 billion of assets under management. Other Banking Services We offer banking products and services that are attractively priced with a focus on customer convenience and accessibility. We offer a full suite of online banking services, including access to account balances, online transfers, online bill payment, and electronic delivery of customer statements. In addition, we offer banking services in person, through ATMs, drive-through facilities, night deposits, telephone, mail, and mobile banking. We also offer debit cards, credit cards, cashier’s checks, wire transfer services, and safe deposit boxes. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS We continue to make investments in our IT systems supporting our deposit and lending operations and treasury management initiatives. In 2021, we invested in the JAM FINTOP Banktech, L.P. fund to strategically develop technology partnerships as we expand the Bank’s digital offerings. We believe these investments are essential to enhancing our capabilities for offering new products and services, improving the overall customer experience, providing scale for future growth and acquisitions, and increasing controls and efficiencies in corporate support areas. We utilize a core data processing platform from a nationally recognized bank software vendor providing us with capabilities to support the continued growth of the Bank. While we operate and manage our internal network infrastructure, we leverage the capabilities of third-party service providers to provide technical expertise around network design, architecture, and cybersecurity services required for us to operate as an effective and efficient organization. The majority of our systems used to conduct day-to-day banking operations are operated by a third-party service provider. Also, certain key transaction processing platforms, such as debit card processing, credit card processing, mobile banking, online banking, telephone banking, and website services, are outsourced to third-party service providers. We believe these third-party providers provide the scalability, infrastructure, and disaster recovery capabilities to support our operating strategy. HUMAN CAPITAL As of December 31, 2024, we had 369 employees, including 358 full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by any collective bargaining unit or are parties to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are very good. We believe that we maintain employment and benefit programs that are appropriate with respect to position responsibilities, competitive with the external market, and capable of attracting, retaining, and motivating competent 10

employees. We recognize the importance of our employee’s financial health and well-being and strive to provide comprehensive compensation and benefits packages to help meet those needs. Compensation and benefits include market-competitive pay, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, employer paid and voluntary life insurance, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, paid vacation and sick time, and other insurance and benefit options. We also offer a 401(k) Plan, and we make matching contributions to that plan. In addition, we offer stock-based compensation to key employees as a way to attract and retain talent. For more information on our benefit plans and stock-based compensation, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9. Employee Benefits” and “- Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation Plans,” respectively, in this Report. We seek to engage personnel at all levels by offering opportunities for learning, growth, and the achievement of career objectives. We strive, to the extent possible, to promote from within to fill open positions. Additionally, we encourage our employees to volunteer in community service activities in the markets that we serve. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to workplace diversity and inclusion. We employ people based upon merit, ability and qualifications. No qualified applicant or employee is to be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, religion, disability, age, veteran status, citizenship, genetic characteristics, or other status protected by federal, state, local, or other law. Our equal employment opportunity commitment applies to all areas of employment including hiring, training, placement, promotion, compensation, and benefits.

The information contained on or accessible from our website does not constitute a part of this Report and is not incorporated by reference herein. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION General The U.S. banking industry is highly regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, our growth and earnings performance will be affected not only by management decisions and general and local economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. These authorities include the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OFI, CFPB, SEC, Internal Revenue Service, and state taxing authorities. The effect of these statutes, regulations, and policies and any changes to such statutes, regulations, and policies can be significant and cannot be predicted. The primary goals of the U.S. bank regulatory framework are to maintain a safe and sound banking system, facilitate the conduct of sound monetary policy, and promote fairness and transparency for financial products and services. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to us and the Bank establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, the Bank’s depositors, and the public, rather than our shareholders or creditors. The description below summarizes certain elements of the applicable bank regulatory framework. This description is not intended to describe all laws and regulations applicable to us and the Bank, and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes, regulations, policies, interpretive letters, and other written guidance that are described herein. Bank Holding Company Regulation As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation under the BHCA and to supervision, examination, and enforcement by the Federal Reserve as well as the OFI. The BHCA and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations. The Federal Reserve’s jurisdiction also extends to any company that we directly or indirectly control, such as any nonbank subsidiaries and other companies in which we own a controlling interest. Financial Services Industry Reform As final rules and regulations implementing the Dodd-Frank Act have been adopted, and may continue to be adopted and/ or modified, this law has changed the bank regulatory framework and has affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading, and operating activities of banks and their holding companies. A number of the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act are described or otherwise accounted for in various parts of this “Supervision and Regulation” section. In addition to those requirements, the Dodd-Frank Act addresses many investor protection, corporate governance, and executive compensation matters that affect most U.S. publicly traded companies. 11

The Dodd-Frank Act (1) requires certain publicly traded companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and golden parachute payments; (2) enhances independence requirements for compensation committee members; (3) requires national securities exchanges to require listed companies to adopt incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers; (4) requires certain publicly traded companies to disclose the relationship between the executive compensation actually paid by the company and the financial performance of the company; and (5) authorizes the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow shareholders to nominate their own director candidates using a company’s proxy materials. While much of the Dodd-Frank Act has been implemented in the form of final rules from the banking agencies, certain aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act remain in proposed form or have not been implemented. Accordingly, it is possible that existing rules may still be modified or repealed or that new rules may be implemented that may impact our operations. The Economic Growth Act, which was signed into law in May 2018, provides certain limited amendments to the Dodd- Frank Act, as well as certain targeted modifications to prior financial services reform regulatory requirements. Provisions in the Economic Growth Act generally address access to mortgage credit; consumer access to credit; protections for veterans, consumers, and homeowners; and protections for student borrowers. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Effective January 1, 2023, we no longer receive any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements. As of the June 30, 2024 measurement date, we had more than $3.0 billion in assets and remain subject to consolidated capital requirements. Another significant provision was the Economic Growth Act’s directive that federal bank regulatory agencies adopt a threshold for a CBLR framework. The CBLR framework and its implications for us are discussed in more detail below under the heading “- Bank Regulation - Capital Adequacy Requirements.” On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued a final rule implementing Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule requires financial institutions to collect and report data to the CFPB on small business loan applicants, including demographic data, lending decisions, and the price and terms of credit. The purpose of the rule is to increase transparency and combat discrimination in small business lending. For banks with moderate volume lending, the compliance deadline is January 16, 2026. On October 22, 2024, the CFPB issued its final rule implementing Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to personal financial data rights, more commonly known as the “Open Banking Rule.” The final rule, among other things, requires banks, credit unions, and other financial service providers to make a consumer’s data available upon request to the consumer and their authorized third parties in a secure and reliable manner, and establishes obligations for third parties accessing consumers’ data, including data security and privacy protections. According to the CFPB, the rule is designed to foster competition and innovation in the financial services industry by making it easier for consumers to switch financial providers and for new companies to offer innovative products and services. The compliance deadline is phased- in based on the asset size of the financial institution. For banks with $3.0 billion to $10.0 billion in total assets, the compliance deadline is April 1, 2028. At this time, it is difficult to anticipate the continued impact the above-described legislation may have on our business, our customers, and the financial industry generally. Changes resulting from further implementation of, changes to, or repeal of the Dodd-Frank Act and other regulations may impact the profitability of our business activities; require changes to certain of our business practices; impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity, and leverage requirements; or otherwise adversely affect our business. These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any new requirements may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, the future implementation and enforcement of regulations may be affected by the result of the Fall 2024 U.S. Presidential election, which is resulting in significant changes in the leadership of the various bank regulatory agencies. In early February 2025, the CFPB’s Acting Director issued directives to cease virtually all CFPB activities, including supervision, examinations, rulemaking, enforcement actions, and pending investigations. CFPB staff were instructed to suspend the effective dates of all rules that have been issued, but have not yet gone into effect. Further, the Acting Director announced that the CFPB would not be taking its next draw of unappropriated funding. A new CFPB Director has recently been nominated and is subject to Senate confirmation. The future of the CFPB is uncertain at this time. Holding Company Capital Requirements As previously referenced in “- Financial Services Industry Reform,” effective January 1, 2023, we became subject to, on a consolidated basis, the same minimum capital ratios under Basel III as the Bank. These minimum capital requirements are set forth below under the heading “- Bank Regulation - Capital Adequacy Requirements.” The Federal Reserve monitors the capital adequacy of the Company and considers its capital levels when taking action on various types of applications and when conducting supervisory activities related to the safety and soundness of the Company. 12

Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries Federal banking regulations require FDIC-insured banks that become undercapitalized to submit a capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan of a bank controlled by a bank holding company will not be accepted by the regulators unless such bank holding company guarantees the subsidiary’s compliance with the capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a bank holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy. The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank in such a guarantee is limited to the lesser of 5.0% of the bank’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be adequately capitalized. The bank regulatory agencies have greater power in situations where a bank becomes significantly or critically undercapitalized or fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such a bank can be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to divest the bank or other affiliates. Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies We must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (1) acquiring more than 5.0% of the voting stock of any bank or other bank holding company, (2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or (3) merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company. In evaluating applications with respect to these transactions, the Federal Reserve is required to consider, among other things, the effect of the acquisition on competition; the financial condition, managerial resources, and prospects of the bank holding company and the bank(s) concerned; the convenience and needs of the communities to be served (including the record of performance under the CRA); the effectiveness of the applicant in combating money laundering activities; and the extent to which the proposed acquisition would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system. The Federal Reserve can deny an application based on the above criteria or other considerations. In addition, as a condition to receiving regulatory approval, the Federal Reserve can impose conditions on the acquiror or the business to be acquired, which may not be acceptable or, if acceptable, may reduce the benefit of a proposed acquisition. Control Acquisitions Subject to various exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with related regulations, require Federal Reserve approval or non-objection prior to any person or company (or group acting in concert) acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. Although “control” is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the investment, control is conclusively presumed to exist if a person or company (or group acting in concert) acquires 25.0% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control of a bank holding company is rebuttably presumed to exist under the Change in Bank Control Act if the acquiring person or entity (or group acting in concert) will own 10.0% or more of any class of voting securities immediately following the transaction and either no other person will hold a greater percentage of that class of voting securities after the acquisition or the bank holding company has publicly registered securities. The BHCA’s definition of “control” can also be triggered when a company acquires 5.0% or more of any class of voting securities and certain other factors are present or when a company acquires one-third or more of total equity (both voting and non-voting). Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength As a bank holding company, we are subject to certain restrictions on dividends under applicable banking laws and regulations. The Federal Reserve has issued a supervisory letter on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve’s view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that: (1) the holding company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of any dividends previously paid during that period, is sufficient to fully fund the dividends; (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention is consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition; and (3) the bank holding company will continue to meet, and is not in danger of failing to meet, minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. Failure to comply with the supervisory letter could result in a supervisory finding that the bank holding company is operating in an unsafe and unsound manner. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may also be limited because of the CCB under the Basel III regulatory capital framework. In the current financial and economic environment, the Federal Reserve has indicated that bank holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy and has discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels unless both asset quality and capital are very strong. The Federal Reserve may further restrict the payment of dividends by engaging in supervisory action to restrict dividends or by requiring us to maintain a higher level of capital than would otherwise be required under any applicable minimum capital requirements. Our ability to pay dividends and make other distributions depends in part upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is subject to certain restrictions on dividends as discussed in more detail below. Under longstanding Federal Reserve policy, which has been codified by the Dodd-Frank Act, we are expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, the Bank. This support may be required at times when we may not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans that we make to the Bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the Bank. As discussed above, in certain circumstances, we could also be required to guarantee the capital restoration plan of the Bank, if the Bank became undercapitalized for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. In the event of our bankruptcy, any commitment by us to a 13

federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of the Bank under a capital restoration plan would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment. Scope of Permissible Activities In general, the BHCA limits the activities permissible for bank holding companies to the business of banking, managing, or controlling banks, and such other activities as the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to banking as to be properly incidental thereto. Permissible activities for a bank holding company include, among others, operating a mortgage, finance, credit card, or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing investment and financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of insurance; leasing personal property on a full- payout, nonoperating basis; and providing certain stock brokerage services. A bank holding company may also make an investment of up to 5.0% of any class of voting securities of any company that is otherwise a non-controlling investment. If a bank holding company has elected to become a financial holding company, it may engage in activities that are (1) financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity, or (2) complementary to a financial activity and which do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of a depository institution or to the financial system generally. These activities include securities dealing, underwriting and market making, insurance underwriting and agency activities, merchant banking, and insurance company portfolio investments. Expanded financial activities of financial holding companies generally will be regulated according to the type of such financial activity: banking activities by banking regulators, securities activities by securities regulators, and insurance activities by insurance regulators. A bank holding company may elect to be treated as a financial holding company if all of its depository institution subsidiaries are “well- capitalized” and “well-managed,” and have received a rating of not less than “Satisfactory” on their most recent examination under the CRA. We currently have no plans to make a financial holding company election, although we may make a financial holding company election in the future if we engage in any lines of business that are impermissible for bank holding companies but permissible for financial holding companies. Volcker Rule Section 13 of the BHCA, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule,” has generally prohibited insured depository institutions and their affiliates from sponsoring or acquiring an ownership interest in certain investment funds, including hedge funds and private equity funds. The Volcker Rule also places restrictions on proprietary trading. The Economic Growth Act exempts from the Volcker Rule insured depository institutions with (1) $10.0 billion or less in total consolidated assets and (2) whose total trading assets and trading liabilities are 5.0% or less of total consolidated assets. The Federal Reserve has effectively extended the exemption to bank holding companies with $10.0 billion or less in total consolidated assets. Since we meet the criteria listed above, we are exempt from the Volcker Rule. Safe and Sound Banking Practices Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and unsound banking practices. For example, the Federal Reserve’s Regulation Y generally requires a bank holding company to provide the Federal Reserve with prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10.0% or more of the bank holding company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation. In certain circumstances, the Federal Reserve could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Federal Reserve has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiaries that represent unsafe and unsound banking practices, result in breaches of fiduciary duty, or which constitute violations of laws or regulations, and can assess civil money penalties or impose enforcement actions for such activities. Bank Regulation Red River Bank is a commercial bank chartered under the laws of the State of Louisiana. As such, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by the OFI and the FDIC. In addition, the Bank’s deposits are insured to the maximum extent permitted by law by the FDIC. The bank regulatory agencies have the power to enforce compliance with applicable banking laws and regulations. These requirements and restrictions include requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans that may be made and the interest that may be charged thereon, and restrictions relating to investments and other activities of the Bank. Capital Adequacy Requirements The FDIC and OFI monitor the capital adequacy of the Bank by using a combination of risk-based guidelines and leverage ratios. These agencies consider the Bank’s capital levels when taking action on various types of applications and when conducting supervisory activities related to the safety and soundness of the Bank and the banking system. Under the Basel III capital rules, an institution’s assets and off-balance sheet items, such as letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate risk weightings. Regulatory capital, in turn, is classified in one of two tiers. “Tier I” capital includes two components: (1) common equity Tier I capital and (2) additional Tier I capital. Common equity Tier I capital consists solely of common stock (plus related surplus), retained 14

earnings, and limited amounts of minority interests that are in the form of common stock. Additional Tier I capital includes other perpetual instruments historically included in Tier I capital, such as non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. “Tier II” capital includes, among other things, qualifying subordinated debt and allowances for credit losses, subject to limitations. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Pursuant to the regulatory capital rules, the Bank has made an election not to include unrealized gains and losses in the investment securities portfolio for purposes of calculating “Tier I” capital and “Tier II” capital. Under the current Basel III regulatory framework, we are required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital ratios. In addition to these minimum regulatory capital ratios, the Basel III regulations establish the CCB with respect to three of the four capital ratios. Specifically, banking organizations must hold common equity Tier I capital in excess of their minimum regulatory capital ratios by at least 2.50% of risk-weighted assets in order to avoid limits on capital distributions (including dividend payments, discretionary payments on Tier I instruments, and stock buybacks) and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. A summary of the regulatory capital ratios and the CCB are presented below: Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratio CCB Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratio plus CCB Total Risk-Based Capital (Tier I capital plus Tier II capital to total risk-weighted assets) 8.00% 2.50% 10.50% Tier I Risk-Based Capital (Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets) 6.00% 2.50% 8.50% Common Equity Tier I Capital (Common equity tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets) 4.50% 2.50% 7.00% Tier I Leverage Capital (Tier I capital to adjusted total assets) 4.00% —% 4.00% These capital requirements are minimum requirements. The FDIC or OFI may also set higher capital requirements if warranted by the risk profile of the Bank, economic conditions impacting its markets, or other circumstances particular to the Bank. For example, FDIC guidance provides that higher capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk and the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities, or securities trading activities. In addition, the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations discussed below also apply to the Bank. Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject the Bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, restrictions on business activities, and other measures under the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available to the Company and the Bank as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier I leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework. Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies The federal banking regulators are required by the FDIA to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to capital-deficient banks that are FDIC-insured. For this purpose, a bank is placed in one of the following five capital tiers: “well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” A bank’s capital tier depends upon how its capital levels compare with various relevant capital measures and certain other regulatory factors. To be well-capitalized, a bank must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.00%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.00%, a common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.50%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5.00%, and must not be subject to any written agreement, order, or directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. We believe that, as of December 31, 2024, the Bank is well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Banks that are adequately capitalized, but not well-capitalized, may not accept, renew, or rollover brokered deposits without a waiver from the FDIC and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on deposits. The FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations also generally prohibit a bank from making any capital distributions (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its parent holding company if the bank would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized banks are also subject to growth limitations, may not accept, renew, or rollover brokered deposits, and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The FDIC may not accept such a plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the bank’s capital. Significantly undercapitalized banks may be subject to requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient shares or obligations to become adequately capitalized, limitations on asset growth, and cessation of receipt 15

of deposits from correspondent banks. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the FDIC must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. The capital classification of a bank also affects the bank’s ability to engage in certain activities and the deposit insurance premiums paid by the bank. Bank Mergers Section 18(c) of the FDIA, known as the “Bank Merger Act,” requires the written approval of a bank’s primary federal regulator before the bank may (1) acquire through merger or consolidation, (2) purchase or otherwise acquire the assets of, or (3) assume the deposit liabilities of, another bank. The Bank Merger Act prohibits the reviewing agency from approving any proposed merger transaction that would result in certain significant anti-competitive effects. In every proposed merger transaction, the reviewing agency must also consider the financial and managerial resources and prospects of the existing and proposed institutions, the convenience and needs of the community to be served, the bank’s CRA performance, and the effectiveness of each insured depository institution involved in the proposed merger transaction in combating money-laundering activities. In addition to FDIC approval, the Bank must also obtain the prior approval of the OFI before acquiring or merging with another bank. The OFI will consider similar criteria when reviewing an application. Branching Under Louisiana law, the Bank is permitted to establish additional branch offices within Louisiana, subject to the approval of the OFI. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bank may also establish additional branch offices outside of Louisiana, subject to prior regulatory approval, provided that the laws of the state where the branch is to be located would permit a state bank chartered in that state to establish a branch. Any new branch, whether located inside or outside of Louisiana, must also be approved by the FDIC, as the Bank’s primary federal regulator. The Bank may also establish offices in other states by merging with banks or by purchasing branches of banks in other states, subject to certain restrictions (including obtaining the prior approval of the OFI and FDIC). Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders Federal law strictly limits the ability of banks to engage in transactions with their affiliates, including their parent bank holding companies. Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W, impose quantitative limits, qualitative standards, and collateral requirements on certain transactions by a bank with, or for the benefit of, its affiliates. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (1) limit the extent to which the bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10.0% of such bank’s capital stock and surplus, and limit the aggregate of all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20.0% of such capital stock and surplus, and (2) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the bank or subsidiary as those that would be provided to a non-affiliate. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans to the affiliate, purchase of assets from the affiliate, issuance of a guarantee on behalf of the affiliate, and several other types of transactions. The Dodd-Frank Act expanded the coverage and scope of the limitations on affiliate transactions within a banking organization, including an expansion of what types of transactions are covered transactions to include credit exposures related to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending arrangements, and an increase in the amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered transactions must be satisfied. Federal law also limits a bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers, and 10.0% or greater shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons. Among other things, extensions of credit to insiders are required to be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons. Also, the terms of such extensions of credit may not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features and may not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the bank’s capital. Insiders, as well as the Bank, may be subject to enforcement actions, including civil money penalties, for loans in violation of applicable restrictions. Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends Red River Bank is subject to certain restrictions on dividends under federal and state laws, regulations, and policies. In general, Louisiana law provides that the Bank may not pay any dividends to the Company unless the Bank has surplus at least equal to 50.0% of its capital stock and such surplus will not be reduced below 50.0% following payment of the dividend. Prior approval of the OFI is required for the Bank to pay any dividend that would exceed its net profits earned during the current year combined with its retained net profits of the immediately preceding year. In addition, under federal law, the Bank may not pay any dividend to the Company if it is undercapitalized or the payment of the dividend would cause it to become undercapitalized. The FDIC and the OFI may further restrict the payment of dividends by engaging in supervisory action to restrict dividends or by requiring the Bank to maintain a higher level of capital than would otherwise be required to be adequately capitalized for regulatory purposes. Under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, the failure to maintain an adequate CCB, as discussed above, may also result in dividend restrictions. Moreover, if, in the opinion of the FDIC and the OFI, the Bank is engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice 16

(which could include the payment of dividends), the FDIC may require, generally after notice and hearing, the Bank to cease such practice. The FDIC has indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe banking practice. Incentive Compensation Guidance The federal banking agencies have issued comprehensive guidance on incentive compensation policies intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of those organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The incentive compensation guidance sets expectations for banking organizations concerning their incentive compensation arrangements and related risk-management, control, and governance processes. The incentive compensation guidance, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon three primary principles: (1) balanced risk-taking incentives, (2) compatibility with effective controls and risk management, and (3) strong corporate governance. Any deficiencies in compensation practices that are identified may be incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect its ability to make acquisitions or take other actions. In addition, under the incentive compensation guidance, a banking organization’s primary federal regulator may initiate enforcement action if the organization’s incentive compensation arrangements pose a risk to the safety and soundness of the organization. Further, the CCB described above would limit discretionary bonus payments to bank executives if the institution’s regulatory capital ratios fail to exceed certain thresholds. The scope and content of the U.S. banking regulators’ policies on executive compensation are continuing to develop and evolve. Deposit Insurance Assessments FDIC-insured banks are required to pay deposit insurance assessments to the FDIC. The amount of the assessment is based on the size of the bank’s assessment base, which is equal to its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity, and its risk classification under an FDIC risk-based assessment system. Institutions assigned to higher risk classifications (that is, institutions that pose a higher risk of loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund) pay assessments at higher rates than institutions that pose a lower risk. An institution’s risk classification is assigned based on its capital levels and the level of supervisory concern that the institution poses to the regulators. At least semi-annually, the FDIC updates its loss and income projections for the Deposit Insurance Fund and, if needed, increases or decreases assessment rates, following notice-and-comment rulemaking, if required. The FDIC issued a final rule in October 2022 increasing deposit insurance assessments on all financial institutions beginning in the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. The FDIC can also impose special assessments in certain instances. For example, the Bank may be required to pay higher FDIC insurance premiums if there are bank or financial institution failures or if the FDIC otherwise determines to increase assessment rates in order to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund. Concentrated CRE Lending Regulations The federal banking regulatory agencies have promulgated guidance governing financial institutions with concentrations in CRE lending. The guidance provides that a bank may have a concentration in CRE lending if (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100.0% or more of total risk-based capital, or (2) total non- owner occupied CRE loans, excluding owner occupied properties, represent 300.0% or more of the bank’s total risk-based capital and the outstanding balance of the bank’s CRE loan portfolio has increased 50.0% or more during the prior 36 months. If a concentration is present, the bank will be subject to further regulatory scrutiny with respect to its risk management practices for CRE lending. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank’s total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represented less than 100.0% of the Bank’s total risk-based capital, and its total CRE loans, excluding owner occupied properties, represented less than 300.0% of the Bank’s total risk-based capital. As a result, the Bank does not have a concentration in CRE lending. Community Reinvestment Act The CRA and the related regulations are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their entire assessment area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of such banks. These regulations also provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s CRA performance record when considering applications to establish branches, merger applications, and applications to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. The CRA requires federal banking agencies to make public their ratings of banks’ performance under the CRA. In the case of a bank holding company transaction, the CRA performance record of the subsidiary banks of the bank holding companies involved in the transaction are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company. An unsatisfactory CRA record could substantially delay approval or result in denial of an application. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” rating in its most recent CRA examination in 2022. On October 24, 2023, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule to modernize the CRA regulations. Under the final rule, (1) the federal banking agencies will evaluate bank performance across the varied activities they conduct and communities in which they operate in order to encourage banks to expand access to credit, investment, and banking services in low- and moderate-income communities, (2) the CRA regulations are updated to evaluate lending outside 17

traditional assessment areas generated by the growth of non-branch delivery systems, such as online and mobile banking, branchless banking, and hybrid models, (3) a new metrics-based approach was adopted to evaluate bank retail lending and community development financing, using benchmarks based on peer and demographic data, and (4) CRA evaluations and data collection are tailored according to bank size and type. In addition, the final rule also exempts small and intermediate sized banks from new data requirements that apply to banks with assets of at least $2.0 billion and limits certain new data requirements to large banks with assets greater than $10.0 billion. Asset size is determined based on assets being at or above the specified thresholds as of December 31 in both of the prior two calendar years and are indexed for inflation. Most of the rule’s requirements will be applicable beginning January 1, 2026. The remaining requirements, including the data reporting requirements, will be applicable on January 1, 2027. We continue to evaluate the new rule and its effects on our operations going forward. Consumer Laws and Regulations Red River Bank is subject to numerous laws and regulations intended to protect consumers in transactions with the Bank. These laws include, among others, laws regarding unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices, and other federal consumer protection statutes. These federal laws include the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, RESPA, the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008, TILA, and the Truth in Savings Act, among others. Many states and local jurisdictions have consumer protection laws analogous, and in addition, to those enacted under federal law. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making loans, and conducting other types of transactions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could give rise to regulatory sanctions, customer rescission rights, action by state and local attorneys general, and civil or criminal liability. There has been an enhanced focus by certain bank regulatory agencies with respect to industry practices relating to overdraft fees and non-sufficient funds fees. For example, the CFPB issued a Request for Information in January 2022 seeking public input with respect to financial institution practices relating to, among other areas, credit card fees, overdraft fees and non-sufficient funds fees and stated its intent to reduce these types of fees through crafting rules, issuing industry guidance, and focusing supervision and enforcement resources to achieve this goal. In August 2022, the FDIC issued guidance with respect to banking practices involving charging multiple non-sufficient funds fees on the representment of the same unpaid transaction on a deposit account. In October 2022, the CFPB issued guidance with respect to certain practices relating to overdraft fees, and it included overdraft fees in its fall 2023 rulemaking agenda. In March 2024, the CFPB finalized a rule imposing certain restrictions on credit card late fee practices. This final rule is currently stayed pending litigation over the rule. In December 2024, the CFPB issued a final rule generally requiring financial institutions with over $10.0 billion in assets to either cap overdraft fees at $5.00 or otherwise follow TILA requirements when providing deposit account overdraft services. The Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, which has broad authority to regulate the offering and provision of consumer financial products. The CFPB has authority to promulgate regulations; issue orders, guidance, interpretations, and policy statements; conduct examinations; and bring enforcement actions regarding consumer financial products and services. In general, banks with assets of $10.0 billion or less, such as the Bank, will continue to be examined for consumer compliance, and subject to enforcement actions, by their primary federal regulator. However, the CFPB may participate in examinations of these smaller institutions on a “sampling basis” and may refer potential enforcement actions against such institutions to their primary federal regulators. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and regulations that are stricter than those regulations promulgated by the CFPB, and state attorneys general are permitted to enforce certain consumer protection rules adopted by the CFPB against certain institutions. As previously referenced in “- Bank Holding Company Regulation - Financial Services Industry Reform,” the future of the CFPB is presently uncertain. Mortgage Lending Rules The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages, including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, financial institutions may not make a residential mortgage loan unless they make a “reasonable and good faith determination” that the consumer has a “reasonable ability” to repay the loan. The Dodd-Frank Act allows borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure but provides a presumption or rebuttable presumption of compliance for loans that are “qualified mortgages.” The CFPB has also issued regulations that, among other things, specify the types of income and assets that may be considered in the ability-to-repay determination, the permissible sources for income verification, and the required methods of calculating the loan’s monthly payments. These regulations extend the requirement that creditors verify and document a borrower’s income and assets to include a requirement to verify all information that creditors rely on in determining repayment ability. The rules also define “qualified mortgages” based on adherence to certain underwriting standards and certain restrictions on loan terms. Points and fees are subject to a relatively stringent cap, and the terms include a wide array of payments that may be made while closing a loan. Certain loans, including interest-only loans and negative amortization loans, cannot be “qualified mortgages.” Also, the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFPB’s final rule on loan originator compensation prohibit certain compensation payments to loan originators and the steering of consumers to loans not in their interest, particularly if the loans will result in greater compensation for a loan originator. The Dodd-Frank Act and the 18

CFPB’s implementing regulations, including the TILA-RESPA integrated disclosure rules, also impose disclosure requirements with respect to the origination and sale of residential mortgages. Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC Under federal law, financial institutions are required to maintain anti-money laundering programs that include established internal policies, procedures, and controls; a designated compliance officer; an ongoing employee training program; testing of the program by an independent audit function; and a customer due diligence program. Financial institutions are also prohibited from entering into specified financial transactions and account relationships and must meet enhanced standards for due diligence and customer identification, especially in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers. Financial institutions must take reasonable steps to conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard against money laundering and to report any suspicious transactions, and law enforcement authorities have been granted increased access to financial information maintained by financial institutions. OFAC administers laws and Executive Orders that prohibit U.S. entities from engaging in transactions with certain prohibited parties. OFAC publishes lists of persons and organizations suspected of aiding, harboring, or engaging in terrorist acts, known as Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Generally, if a bank identifies a transaction, account, or wire transfer relating to a person or entity on an OFAC list, it must freeze the account or block the transaction, file a suspicious activity report, and notify the appropriate authorities. Bank regulators routinely examine institutions for compliance with these obligations, and they must consider an institution’s compliance in connection with the regulatory review of applications, including applications for bank mergers and acquisitions. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing and comply with OFAC sanctions, or to comply with relevant laws and regulations, could have serious legal, reputational, and financial consequences for the institution. Privacy Federal laws and regulations limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a non-affiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted through financial services companies and conveyed to outside vendors. In addition, consumers may also prevent disclosure of certain information among affiliated companies that is assembled or used to determine eligibility for a product or service, such as that shown on consumer credit reports and asset and income information from applications. Consumers also have the option to direct banks and other financial institutions not to share information about transactions and experiences with affiliated companies for the purpose of marketing products or services. In addition to applicable federal privacy regulations, the Bank is subject to certain state privacy laws. Federal laws and regulations also include certain information security guidelines that require a bank, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of directors or an appropriate committee of the board, to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. Federal banking regulators regularly issue guidance regarding cybersecurity intended to enhance cybersecurity risk management. A financial institution is expected to implement multiple lines of defense against cyber-attacks. Under Federal guidance, banks are required to provide notice to affected customers of a data breach under certain circumstances, and the agencies recently adopted a rule requiring notice to the primary federal regulator within certain timeframes for certain data security incidents. Federal Home Loan Bank System Red River Bank is a member of the FHLB of Dallas, which is one of the 11 regional FHLBs composing the FHLB system. The Federal Housing Finance Agency regulates the FHLBs. It is responsible for ensuring that the FHLBs operate in a safe and sound manner, are adequately capitalized, and are held accountable to the FHLBs’ mission. The FHLBs make loans to their member banks in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHLB system and the board of directors of each regional FHLB. Any advances from a FHLB must be secured by specified types of collateral, and all long-term advances may be obtained only for the purpose of providing funds for the financing of residential housing. As a member of the FHLB of Dallas, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Dallas. All loans, advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit made by the FHLB of Dallas to the Bank are secured by a portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio, as well as capital stock of the FHLB of Dallas held by the Bank. Additionally, if a member financial institution defaults on its debt, the right of the FHLB to seek repayment of this debt will take priority over the rights of all other creditors. Enforcement Powers The bank regulatory agencies have broad enforcement powers, including the power to terminate deposit insurance and impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and 19

supervisory agreements, breaches of fiduciary duty, or the maintenance of unsafe and unsound conditions or practices, could subject us or our subsidiaries, including the Bank, as well as their respective officers, directors, and other institution- affiliated parties, to administrative sanctions, enforcement actions, and potentially substantial civil money penalties. FDIC Conservatorship or Receivership The bank regulatory agencies may appoint the FDIC as conservator or receiver for a bank (or the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain circumstances) if any one or more of a number of circumstances exist, including, without limitation, the Bank becoming critically undercapitalized under prompt corrective action. Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions but also by U.S. fiscal policy and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Some of the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve include changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, the fluctuating availability of borrowings at the “discount window,” open market operations, and the imposition of, and changes in reserve requirements against member banks’ deposits and certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates and assets of foreign branches. These policies have a significant influence on the overall growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. We cannot predict the nature of future fiscal and monetary policies or the effect of these policies on our operations and activities, financial condition, results of operations, growth plans, or prospects. Impact of Current Laws and Regulations The cumulative effect of these laws and regulations, while providing certain benefits, adds significantly to the cost of our operations and thus has a negative impact on our profitability. There has also been a notable expansion in recent years of financial service providers that are not subject to the examination, oversight, and other rules and regulations to which we are subject. Those providers, because they are not so highly regulated, may have a competitive advantage over us and may continue to draw customers away from traditional banking institutions, with a continuing adverse effect on the banking industry in general. Future Legislation and Regulatory Reform In light of current economic conditions and the market outlook, regulators may increase their focus on the regulation of financial institutions. From time to time, various legislative and regulatory initiatives are introduced in Congress and state legislatures. New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations, and competitive relationships of financial institutions operating in the U.S. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new regulation or statute. Future legislation, regulation, and policies, and the effects of such legislation, regulation, and policies, may have a significant influence on our operations and activities, financial condition, results of operations, growth plans, or prospects, and the overall growth and distribution of loans, investments, and deposits. Such legislation, regulation, and policies have had a significant effect on the operations and activities, financial condition, results of operations, growth plans, and prospects of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so. 20

Item 1A. Risk Factors Ownership of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all other information included in this Report, including the disclosures in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We believe the risks described below are the risks that are material to us as of the date of this Report. Any of the following risks, as well as risks that we are not now aware or currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information in this Report constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factors below also are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Risks Related to Our Credit Activities We may not be able to adequately measure and limit our credit risk, which could lead to unexpected losses. Our business depends on our ability to successfully measure and manage credit risk. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our borrowers will be unable to repay their loans according to their terms, and that the collateral securing repayment of their loans, if any, may be insufficient. In addition, there are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks with respect to the period of time the loan may be repaid; risks relating to proper loan underwriting; risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions such as inflationary pressures; tariffs and trade wars; and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers. The creditworthiness of a borrower is affected by many factors including local market conditions and general economic conditions. If the overall economic climate in the U.S., generally, or in Louisiana, specifically, or in a particular industry our borrowers are concentrated, experiences material disruption, our borrowers may experience difficulties in repaying their loans, the collateral we hold may decrease in value or become illiquid, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require significant additional provisions for credit losses, which could adversely affect our net income. Our risk management practices, such as monitoring the concentration of our loans within specific industries and our credit approval, review, and administrative practices may not adequately reduce credit risk. Further, our credit administration personnel, policies, and procedures may not adequately adapt to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting customers and the quality of our loan portfolio. A failure to effectively measure and limit our credit risk could result in loan defaults, foreclosures, and additional charge-offs. As a result, we may need to significantly increase our provision for credit losses, which could adversely affect our net income. Our CRE loan portfolio exposes us to risks that may be greater than the risks related to other types of loans. Our loan portfolio includes owner occupied and non-owner occupied CRE loans for individuals and businesses for various purposes, which are secured by commercial properties, as well as real estate construction and development loans. As of December 31, 2024, our owner occupied CRE loans totaled $425.7 million, or 20.5% of loans HFI. Also, as of December 31, 2024, our construction and development loans, non-owner occupied CRE loans, and non-real estate secured loans financing CRE activities totaled $615.4 million, or 29.7% of loans HFI. The repayment of these loans is typically dependent upon income generated, or expected to be generated, by the property securing the loan in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service. This projected income may be adversely affected by changes in the economy, changes in interest rates, or local market conditions. CRE loans expose us to greater credit risk than loans secured by residential real estate, because there are fewer potential purchasers for the CRE collateral, which can make liquidation more difficult in the event of default of the underlying loan. Additionally, non-owner occupied CRE loans generally involve relatively large balances to single borrowers or related groups of borrowers. Accordingly, charge-offs on non-owner occupied CRE loans may be larger on an individual loan basis than those incurred with our residential or consumer loan portfolios. Unexpected deterioration in the credit quality of our CRE loan portfolio would require us to increase our provision for credit losses, which would reduce our profitability. A significant portion of our loan portfolio consists of real estate loans, which subjects us to the potential impairment of the collateral securing the loan if the real estate market experiences negative changes and the costs and potential risks associated with the ownership of the real property if we are forced to foreclose. Real estate values in many Louisiana markets have experienced periods of fluctuation over the last several years. As of December 31, 2024, $1.65 billion, or 79.7%, of loans HFI were secured by real estate as the primary component of collateral. We also make loans secured by real estate as a supplemental source of collateral. Real estate values and real estate markets are affected by many factors, such as changes in national, regional, or local economic conditions; the rate of unemployment; fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers; changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations, and policies; and acts of nature, such as hurricanes, flooding, and other natural disasters. Adverse changes affecting real estate values and the liquidity of real estate in one or more of our markets could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio, significantly impair the value of property pledged as collateral on loans, and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss or additional losses. 21

Additionally, we may have to foreclose on the collateral property. We may thereafter own and operate such property, in which case we would be exposed to the risks inherent in the ownership of real estate, including potential environmental liability due to contamination of a property either during ownership or after the divesting of it. As of December 31, 2024, we held OREO totaling $38,000. This amount could increase in the future, depending upon the level of our real estate foreclosures and our ability to efficiently divest of the foreclosed OREO. The amount that we, as a mortgagee, may realize after a default is dependent upon factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to, general or local economic conditions, environmental cleanup liability, assessments, interest rates, real estate tax rates, operating expenses of the mortgaged properties, ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of the properties, zoning laws, governmental and regulatory rules, and natural disasters. Consequently, we could be required to increase our ACL, adversely affecting our profitability. Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property. As of December 31, 2024, $614.6 million, or 29.6%, of our total loan portfolio was secured by primary and secondary liens on one-to-four family residential loans. One-to-four family residential loans are generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that significantly impact the borrowers’ ability to meet their loan payment obligations. A decline in residential real estate values resulting from a downturn in the housing market in our market areas may reduce the value of the real estate collateral securing these types of loans and increase our risk of losses due to default. A downturn in the housing market coupled with elevated unemployment rates may also result in a decline in demand for our products and services. In addition, in a declining interest rate environment, there may be an increase in prepayments on residential loans as borrowers refinance their loans at lower rates, which may adversely affect our business and profitability. By contrast, interest rate increases often result in larger payment requirements for our borrowers with variable rate loans, which increases the potential for default and could result in a decrease in the demand for residential loans. At the same time, the marketability of the property securing a residential loan may be adversely affected by any reduced demand resulting from higher interest rates. A significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans secured by receivables, inventory, equipment, or other commercial collateral, and the deterioration in the collateral’s value could expose us to credit losses. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $327.1 million, or 15.8%, of loans HFI were commercial and industrial loans collateralized, in general, by general business assets including, among other things, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and available real estate, and most are backed by a personal guaranty of the borrower or principal. These commercial and industrial loans are typically larger in amount than loans to individuals and therefore have the potential for larger losses on an individual loan basis. Additionally, the repayment of commercial and industrial loans is subject to the ongoing business operations of the borrower. The collateral securing such loans generally includes movable property, such as equipment and inventory, which may decline in value more rapidly than we anticipate, exposing us to increased credit risk. In addition, a portion of our customer base, including customers in the energy and real estate business, may be exposed to volatile businesses or industries that are sensitive to commodity prices, real estate values, or liquidity, which could impair the value of the collateral securing these loans. Significant adverse changes in the economy or local market conditions where our commercial lending customers operate could cause rapid declines in loan collectability and the values associated with general business assets resulting in inadequate collateral coverage. Our ACL may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be recognized over the lifetime of the loans. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. As of December 31, 2024, our ACL totaled $21.7 million, which represents approximately 1.05% of loans HFI. The actual amount of credit losses is affected by changes in economic, operating, and other conditions within our markets, as well as changes in the financial condition, cash flows, and operations of our borrowers. All of these factors are beyond our control, and such losses may exceed our current estimates. Additional credit losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than we have previously experienced or greater than we anticipate. We may be required to make additional provisions for credit losses to further supplement our ACL, due either to our management’s decision or as a regulatory requirement. In addition, bank regulatory agencies will periodically review our ACL and the value attributed to nonaccrual loans or to real estate acquired through foreclosure. Such regulatory agencies may require us to recognize future charge-offs. Appraisals and other valuation techniques we use in evaluating and monitoring loans secured by real property, OREO, and repossessed personal property may not accurately describe the net value of the asset. In considering whether to make a loan secured by real property, we generally require an appraisal of the property. However, an appraisal is only an estimate of the value of the property at the time the appraisal is made. Because real 22

estate values may change significantly in relatively short periods of time (especially in periods of heightened economic uncertainty), this estimate may not accurately describe the net value of the real property collateral after the loan is made. As a result, we may not be able to realize the full amount of any remaining indebtedness when we foreclose on and sell the relevant property. In addition, we rely on appraisals and other valuation techniques to establish the value of our OREO and personal property that we acquire through foreclosure and to determine certain estimated losses. If any of these valuations are inaccurate, our combined and consolidated financial statements may not reflect the correct value of our OREO or personal property, and our ACL may not reflect accurate estimated losses. The amount of our nonperforming assets may increase significantly, resulting in additional losses, costs, and expenses. As of December 31, 2024, we had NPAs of $3.3 million, or 0.10% of assets. NPAs adversely affect our net income in various ways. We do not record interest income on OREO or on nonperforming loans, which adversely affects our income. When we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related asset to the market value of the collateral, which may ultimately result in a loss. An increase in the level of NPAs also increases our risk profile, which may cause our regulators to require additional amounts of capital. Finally, NPAs can take significant time and resources to resolve, causing the related costs of maintaining those assets to increase. These effects may be particularly pronounced in a declining real estate market where valuations are falling and excess inventory is present. The small to medium-sized businesses that we lend to may have fewer resources to handle adverse business developments, which may impair their ability to repay loans. A significant portion of our business is focused on small to medium-sized businesses, which frequently have smaller market shares than their competition; may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, inflation, and labor market and supply chain constraints; may often need substantial additional capital to expand or compete; and may experience substantial volatility in operating results. Any of these factors may impair a borrower’s ability to repay a loan. In addition, the success of a small or medium-sized business often depends on the management skills, talents, and efforts of one individual or a small group of individuals. The death, disability, or resignation of one or more of these people could have an adverse impact on the business and its ability to repay loans. We could be subject to losses, regulatory action, or reputational harm due to fraudulent and negligent acts on the part of loan applicants, our employees, and other parties. In deciding whether and upon what terms to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, property appraisals, title information, employment and income documentation, account information, and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of customers and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. Any misrepresentation or incorrect or incomplete information, whether fraudulent or inadvertent, may not be detected prior to entering into the transaction. In addition, there could be a significant breakdown or failure in our systems or processes in compiling that information, either as a result of human error or where an individual purposefully sabotages or fraudulently manipulates our loan documentation, operations, or systems. Whether a misrepresentation is made by the applicant, an employee, or another third party, we generally bear the risk of loss associated with the misrepresentation. We are often contractually required to indemnify counterparties for losses caused by a material misrepresentation, and a loan subject to a material misrepresentation is typically not marketable or, if sold, is subject to repurchase. The sources of the misrepresentations may also be difficult to locate, and we may be unable to recover any of the monetary losses we may suffer as a result. Risks Related to Interest Rates and Economic Conditions We are subject to risks due to changing interest rates. The majority of our banking assets are monetary in nature and subject to risk from changes in interest rates that are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Like most financial institutions, our profitability is dependent upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the primary component of our earnings and is affected by both local economic conditions and competition, as well as national monetary policy and market interest rates. Unexpected and/or significant changes to interest rates could cause our net interest margin and net interest income to decrease, and could adversely affect the valuation of our assets and liabilities. A decrease in the general level of interest rates may reduce the yield on short-term interest-bearing assets and on new and renewing loans and securities, and may decrease deposit rate pressure and the cost of deposits. An increase in the general level of interest rates may reduce loan demand and loan fees, decrease loan repayments, create deposit rate pressure, while increasing the yield on short-term interest-bearing assets and on new and renewing loans and securities. Higher interest rates could adversely affect the ability of borrowers of floating rate loans to meet their higher payment obligations, which could result in an increase in delinquencies and charge-offs, and increase the cost of deposits. 23

The fair market value of our securities portfolio, the investment income, and the cash flows from these securities also fluctuate depending on general economic and market conditions. Changes in market values impact the net unrealized gains and losses on securities AFS and the related accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. Also, any such losses could be realized into earnings if it becomes necessary to sell securities AFS in a loss position. Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to manage the effects of changes in interest rates, any significant and unexpected change in market rates could have a material negative effect on our financial condition and earnings, and our strategies may not always be successful in managing the risks associated with changes in interest rates. Natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, the impact of pandemics, civil unrest, and other external events could result in a disruption of our operations and increases in credit losses. We are a community banking franchise concentrated in Louisiana. A significant portion of our business is generated from Louisiana markets that have been, and may continue to be, damaged by major hurricanes, floods, tropical storms, tornadoes, ice storms, and other natural disasters. Natural disasters can disrupt our operations, cause widespread property damage, and severely depress the local economies in which we operate. A deterioration in local economic conditions or in the residential or CRE markets could have an adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio, the demand for our products and services, the ability of borrowers to timely repay loans, and the value of the collateral securing loans. As of December 31, 2024, 94.2% of loans HFI were made to borrowers who reside or conduct business in Louisiana, and substantially all of our real estate loans are secured by properties located in Louisiana. If the population, employment, or income growth in any of our markets is negative or slower than projected, income levels, deposits, and real estate development could be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our business and profitability. Additionally, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of war and international conflict, civil unrest, inflation, trade policy and tariffs, labor market and supply chain constraints, or a widespread outbreak of pandemics. Further, we are monitoring the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, as well as the current tensions with China. While we do not expect that these conflicts will be directly material to us, associated effects of the geopolitical instability, such as the imposition of sanctions against any country and their response to such sanctions (including retaliatory acts like cyber-attacks and sanctions against other countries), could adversely affect the global economy or domestic markets, including ours. If the economies in our primary markets experience an overall decline as a result of these types of external events, demand for loans and our other products and services could be reduced. In addition, the rate of delinquencies, foreclosures, bankruptcies, and losses on loan portfolios may increase substantially, as uninsured property losses or sustained job interruption or loss may materially impair our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans. Such external events could, therefore, result in decreased revenue and increased credit losses for us. As a business operating in the financial services industry, our business and operations may be adversely affected in numerous and complex ways, including demand for our products and services, inflation, and financial markets. Our business and operations, which primarily consist of lending money to customers in the form of loans, borrowing money from customers in the form of deposits, and investing in securities, are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. Our business environment can be impacted by uncertainty about the federal fiscal and monetary policymaking process. Changes in any of these policies are influenced by macroeconomic conditions and other factors that are beyond our control. Federal fiscal and monetary policymaking decisions could lead to changes in interest rates, inflation, or other economic impacts such as recessions. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is our ability to manage the impact of changes in interest rates, which could impact the demand for our products and services. In addition, we could also experience increased operating costs related to providing our products and services as a result of inflation. The medium and long-term fiscal outlook of the federal government and U.S. economy may be concerns for businesses, consumers, and investors in the U.S. In addition, economic conditions in foreign countries, including global political hostilities, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder domestic economic growth. Uncertainty regarding both short and long-term interest rates impacts our ability to attract deposits and manage net interest margin. The borrowing needs of our customers may increase, especially during a challenging economic environment, which could result in increased borrowing against our contractual obligations to extend credit. A commitment to extend credit is a formal agreement to lend funds to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established under the agreement. The actual borrowing needs of our customers under these credit commitments have historically been lower than the contractual amount of the commitments. Because of the credit profile of our customers, we typically have a substantial amount of total unfunded credit commitments, which is not reflected on our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, we had $521.5 million in unfunded credit commitments to our customers. Actual borrowing needs of our customers may exceed our expectations, especially during a challenging economic environment when our customers may be more dependent on our credit commitments due to reduced income or the lack of available 24

credit elsewhere, the increasing costs of credit, or the limited availability of financings from alternative sources. This could adversely affect our liquidity, which could impair our ability to fund operations and meet obligations as they become due. Negative conditions in the health care sector could lead to increased credit losses in our loan portfolio. Health care loans, which were $167.3 million, or 8.1% of loans HFI as of December 31, 2024, are our largest industry concentration. These loan consist of loans to nursing and residential care facilities and physician and dental practices. To the extent that adverse economic conditions or other factors disproportionately and negatively impact the health care sector, it could lead to increased credit losses in our loan portfolio Volatility in oil and natural gas prices along with cyclical downturns in the energy industry, particularly in Louisiana, could lead to increased credit losses in our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2024, we had energy loans of $29.8 million, or 1.4% of loans HFI. We also may have indirect exposure to energy prices, as some of our non-energy customers’ businesses may be affected by volatility in the oil and gas industry and energy prices. General uncertainty resulting from continued volatility could have other adverse impacts such as job losses in industries tied to energy, lower borrowing needs, higher transaction deposit balances, or a number of other effects that are difficult to isolate or quantify, particularly in states with significant dependence on the energy industry like Louisiana, all of which could lead to increased credit losses in our loan portfolio. Risks Related to Our Competition and Services Our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain our reputation is critical to our growth, profitability, and market share. We operate in the highly competitive banking industry and face significant competition for customers from bank and non- bank competitors. Our business plan emphasizes relationship banking in order to originate loans, attract deposits, and provide other financial services. As a result, our reputation is one of the most valuable components of our business. Our competitors are generally larger and may have significantly more resources, greater name recognition, and more extensive and established branch networks or geographic footprints. Because of their scale, many of these competitors can be more aggressive on loan and deposit pricing. Also, many of our non-bank competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Credit unions have become more active through organic growth and growth through acquisitions, and their tax-exempt status may enable them to compete more effectively on rates. We expect competition to continue to intensify due to financial institution consolidation; legislative, regulatory, and technological changes; and the emergence of alternative sources for financial services, including fintech companies, all of which could cause us to lose some of our existing customers, and we may not be successful attracting new customers. Our failure to compete effectively in our primary markets could cause us to lose market share. We may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions. Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, and other relationships. We have exposure to different industries and counterparties and exposure through transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including broker-dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, and other financial intermediaries. In addition, we participate in loans originated by other institutions, and we participate in syndicated transactions (including shared national credits) in which other lenders serve as the lead bank. Further, high- profile bank failures in 2023 have resulted in some degree of public awareness and caused widespread questions about potential concerns in the financial institutions industry. Failures by, declines in the financial condition of, or even rumors or questions about one or more financial institutions, financial service companies, or the financial services industry generally, may lead to a decline in market-wide liquidity, asset quality problems, or other problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. We may not be able to implement our expansion strategy, which may adversely affect our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends. Our strategy is to expand market share in existing markets and engage in opportunistic new market de novo expansion, supplemented by strategic acquisitions of financial institutions in desirable geographic areas with customer-oriented, compatible philosophies. De novo expansion carries with it certain potential risks, including possibly significant startup costs and anticipated initial operating losses; an inability to gain regulatory approval; an inability to secure the services of qualified senior management to operate the de novo banking centers and successfully integrate and promote our corporate culture; poor market reception for de novo banking centers established in markets where we do not have a preexisting reputation; challenges posed by local economic conditions; challenges associated with securing attractive locations at a reasonable cost; and additional strain on management resources and internal systems and controls. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values; therefore, some dilution of our tangible book value and earnings per common share may occur in connection with any future acquisition. Specifically, acquisitions could result in higher than expected deposit attrition, loss of key employees, significant fair value adjustments, 25

or other consequences that could adversely affect our business. Further, the carrying amount of any goodwill that we currently maintain or may acquire may be subject to impairment in future periods. Also, as consolidation of the financial services industry continues, the number of appropriate targets may decrease and the price for potential acquisitions may increase, which could reduce our potential returns and reduce the attractiveness of these opportunities to us. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate any business or assets we acquire with our existing business. The integration of acquired operations and assets may require substantial management time, effort, and resources and may divert management’s focus from other strategic opportunities and operational matters. Further, we may not be able to execute on more general aspects of our expansion strategy, which may impair our ability to sustain our historical rate of growth or prevent us from growing at all. For example, we may not be able to generate sufficient new loans and deposits within acceptable risk and expense tolerances, obtain the personnel or funding necessary for additional growth, or find suitable acquisition candidates. Various factors, such as economic conditions and competition with other financial institutions, may impede or prohibit the growth of our operations, the opening of new banking centers, and the consummation of acquisitions. The success of our strategy also depends on our ability to effectively manage growth, which is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to adapt our credit, operational, technology, and governance infrastructure to accommodate expanded operations. If we fail to implement one or more aspects of our expansion strategy, we may be unable to maintain our historical growth and earnings trends. New lines of business, products, product enhancements, or services may subject us to additional risks. From time to time, we implement new lines of business or offer new products and product enhancements as well as new services within our existing lines of business. In doing so, we may invest significant time and resources. At the same time, we may not allocate the appropriate level of resources or expertise necessary to make these new efforts successful or to realize their expected benefits. Further, initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business, products, product enhancements, or services may not be achieved, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the ultimate implementation. Any new line of business, product, product enhancement, or service could also have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls and subject us to additional, unknown risks. Risks Related to Our Financial Stability We may need to rely on financial markets to provide needed capital in the future, and if we fail to maintain sufficient capital, we may not be able to satisfy regulatory requirements or maintain adequate protection against financial stress. We may need to raise additional capital, in the form of additional debt or equity, in the future to have sufficient capital resources and liquidity to satisfy our current or future regulatory capital requirements, meet our commitments, and fund our business needs and future growth. Our ability to raise additional capital depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation, our financial condition and performance, conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions, investor perceptions regarding the banking industry, and governmental activities. Many of these factors are beyond our control, and as such, there is no assurance we will be able to issue debt or equity securities if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to maintain capital sufficient to meet regulatory requirements, we may not be able to withstand periods of financial stress, and we could be subject to enforcement actions or other regulatory consequences. A lack of liquidity could impair our ability to fund operations. Liquidity is essential to our business. We rely on our ability to generate deposits and effectively manage the repayment and maturity schedules of our loans and investment securities, respectively, to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to fund our operations. As can be seen from events in 2023 regarding the operations and failures of other banks in the U.S., an inability to mitigate deposit withdrawals and to raise funds through new deposits, borrowings, the sale of investment securities at or above the value of such securities on our books, and other sources could have a material adverse effect on liquidity. Our most important source of funds is deposits. Historically, our deposits have provided a stable source of funds. However, deposit balances can decrease when customers perceive alternative investments as providing a better risk/return tradeoff or when customers have negative views related to disruption in the financial markets or the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. If our customers move money out of bank deposits, our liquidity position could be impacted, and we would lose a relatively low-cost source of funds, increasing our funding costs, and reducing our net interest income and net income. Even though a majority of our certificates of deposit renew upon maturity with what we believe are competitive rates, some of our more rate-sensitive customers may move those and other deposit funds to higher-yielding alternatives. Our other primary sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities, and proceeds from the issuance and sale of our equity to investors. As a secondary source of liquidity, we have the ability to borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions with whom we have a correspondent 26

relationship. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB of Dallas and the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility. Historically, we have not utilized brokered or internet deposits to meet liquidity needs. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our activities or on terms that are acceptable to us, could be impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. These factors may include disruptions in the financial markets or negative expectations about the industry’s prospects. Our access to funding sources could also be affected by regulatory actions against us or by a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a downturn in the Louisiana economy or in economic conditions generally. A decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, or fulfill obligations such as meeting deposit withdrawal demands or repaying our borrowings. The fair value of our investment securities can fluctuate due to factors outside of our control, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our investment portfolio, potentially resulting in adverse changes to the portfolio’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in market interest rates, rating agency actions related to the securities, defaults by the issuer or with respect to the underlying collateral, and instability in the capital markets. Any of these factors, among others, could cause realized or unrealized losses in future periods and declines in AOCI, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and capital requirements. In addition, the process for determining impairment of a security often requires complex, subjective judgments about whether there has been a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer, whether management has the intent or ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, the future financial performance and liquidity of the issuer and any underlying collateral, and other relevant factors. As a result, any failure or deficiency in making these judgments could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. Risks Related to Our Operations We rely heavily on our executive management team and other key employees, and we could be adversely affected by an unexpected loss of their service. Our success depends in large part on the performance of our key personnel, as well as on our ability to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified management and employees. Competition for employees is intense, and the process of locating key personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business plan may be difficult. We may not be successful in retaining our key employees. Further, we may not be able to identify and hire qualified replacement personnel on terms acceptable to us, or at all, whether due to tightening labor conditions or otherwise. If we unexpectedly lose the services of one or more of our key personnel and are unable to replace them, we would also lose the benefit of their skills, knowledge of our primary markets, and years of industry experience, which could adversely affect our business and profitability. We are subject to laws regarding the privacy, information security, and protection of personal information. Unauthorized access, cyber-crime, and other threats to data security may require significant resources, harm our reputation, and otherwise cause harm to our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we necessarily collect, use, and retain, on various information systems that we maintain and in those maintained by third-party providers and, in some cases, vendors retained by those third parties, personal and financial information concerning individuals and businesses with which we have a banking relationship. We also maintain important internal company data such as personally identifiable information about our employees and information about our operations. Threats to data security such as unauthorized access and cyber-attacks emerge and change rapidly. These threats may increase our costs for protection or remediation. They may also result in competing time constraints between applicable privacy and other requirements and our ability to secure data in accordance with customer expectations and evolving laws and regulations governing the privacy and protection of personal information. It is difficult or impossible to defend against every risk posed by changing technologies and cyber-crime. Cyber incidents could include actual or attempted unauthorized access, tampering, malware insertion, ransomware attacks, or other system integrity events. Increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks makes it increasingly difficult to prevent a security breach. Further, we, or any of our vendors or third-party providers, could also experience a breach due to circumstances such as intentional or negligent conduct on the part of employees or other internal and external sources, software bugs, or other technical malfunctions. Any of these threats may cause our customer accounts and financial systems to become vulnerable to takeover schemes or cyber-fraud. If personal, confidential, or proprietary information of customers, employees, or others were to be mishandled or misused by us or third parties with access to that information, we could be exposed to litigation or regulatory sanctions under personal information laws and regulations. A breach of our security that results in unauthorized access to our data could expose us to disruption or challenges relating to our daily operations as well as to data loss, litigation, fines, penalties, damages, inquiries, examinations, investigations, significant increases in compliance costs, and reputational damage, which could cause us to lose customers or potential customers. 27

We rely on third parties to provide key components of our business infrastructure, and a failure of these parties to perform for any reason could disrupt our operations. Third parties provide key components of our business infrastructure such as data processing, internet connections, network access, core application processing, statement production, and account analysis. Our business depends on the successful and uninterrupted functioning of our IT and telecommunications systems and third-party servicers. The failure of these systems, or the termination of a third-party software license or service agreement on which any of these systems is based, could interrupt our operations. Because our IT and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third-party systems, we could experience service denials if demand for such services exceeds capacity. Additionally, our operations could be interrupted if any of our third-party service providers experience financial difficulty, are inadvertently or intentionally negligent, are subject to cybersecurity breaches, fail to effectively manage their providers, terminate their services, or fail to comply with applicable banking regulations. We are subject to claims, litigation, and other proceedings that could result in legal liability. From time to time, we are, or may be, involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. One or more unfavorable outcomes of these ordinary course claims or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of their merits, scope, validity, or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, time- consuming, may result in protracted litigation or otherwise divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved favorably. We have a continuing need for technological improvements, and we may not have the resources to effectively implement new technology, or we may experience operational challenges when implementing new technology. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology- driven products and services. As we continue to grow, our success will be partially dependent upon our ability to address the needs of our customers and enhance operational efficiencies through the use of technology. We may experience operational challenges as we implement these new technology products or enhancements. As a result, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits from our new technology, or we may incur significant costs to overcome related challenges in a timely manner. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. As a result, they may be able to offer additional or superior products, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, we may lose customers seeking technology-driven products and services that we are not able to provide. Our financial results depend on management’s selection of accounting methods and certain assumptions and estimates. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of related revenues and expenses. Certain accounting policies are inherently based to a greater extent on estimates, assumptions, and judgments of management and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally estimated. These policies include the ACL, accounting for income taxes, the determination of fair value for financial instruments, and accounting for stock-based compensation. Management’s judgment and the data relied upon by management may be based on assumptions that prove to be inaccurate, particularly in times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Even if the relevant, factual assumptions are accurate, our decisions may prove to be inadequate or inaccurate because of other flaws in the design or use of analytical tools used by management. We utilize data and modeling in our management’s decision-making, and faulty data or modeling approaches could negatively impact our decision-making ability or subject us to regulatory scrutiny. The use of statistical and quantitative models and other quantitative analysis is part of bank decision-making and is used in our operations. It is also prevalent in regulatory compliance. While we are not currently subject to annual stress testing under the Dodd-Frank Act or the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review submissions, we currently utilize asset/liability management modeling and stress testing for monitoring and managing interest rate risk and liquidity. We also use an ACL model to evaluate the ACL. While we believe the quantitative techniques and approaches of these models improve our decision-making, they also create the possibility that faulty data, flawed quantitative approaches, or misunderstanding or misuse of their outputs could negatively impact our decision-making ability or, if we become subject to regulatory stress-testing in the future, cause adverse regulatory scrutiny. We utilize third-party companies to support our investment group, and we may be adversely affected by the condition or performance of our third-party brokerage partners. We are not registered with the SEC as an investment advisor or broker-dealer. To provide a broader range of investment products and services to our customers through our investment group, we partner with third parties who are licensed and registered to serve in those capacities. The investment products and services provided to our customers through our investment group, by virtue of these third-party channels generally are not insured by the FDIC. We may have exposure for illegal, negligent, fraudulent, or other acts of these investment advisors and brokers. Although we seek to limit this 28

exposure through clear disclosure, ongoing oversight, and contractual provisions requiring indemnification, limitations of liability, insurance coverage, and other similar protections, those obligations may not always be enforceable, or our third- party service providers ultimately may not have sufficient financial strength to fully comply, all of which may increase our financial exposure and adversely affect our business. Climate related events and legislative and societal responses regarding climate change present risks to our business. Climate change may intensify severe weather events such as hurricanes and rainstorms that recur in our market areas, which may adversely impact our locations and business and those of our customers and suppliers. In addition, there has been an increased focus among businesses, consumers and investors regarding transitioning to renewable energy and a net zero economy. If we fail to adequately anticipate and address these changing preferences, our business could be adversely impacted. We are also subject to risks relating to potential new climate change-related legislation or regulations, which could increase our and our customers’ costs. For example, in 2022, the SEC proposed new climate disclosure rules, which if adopted, would require new climate-related disclosure in SEC filings, including certain climate-related metrics and greenhouse gas emissions data, information about climate-related targets and goals, transition plans, if any, and extensive attestation requirements. Further, we may be exposed to negative publicity based on the identity and activities of those to whom we lend and with which we otherwise do business and the public’s view of the approach and performance of our customers and business partners with respect to climate-related matters. The risks associated with these matters are continuing to evolve rapidly and the ultimate impact on our business is difficult to predict with any certainty. Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock The market price of our common stock may be subject to substantial fluctuations, which may make it difficult to sell shares at the volumes, prices, or times desired. An investment in our common stock is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency and is subject to price fluctuations and risk of loss. There are many factors that may impact the market price and trading volume of our common stock. In particular, the realization of any of the risks described in this “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, causing the price of our common stock to decline. The stock market and, in particular, the market for financial institution stocks, has experienced substantial fluctuations in recent years, which in many cases has been unrelated to the operating performance and prospects of particular companies. In addition, significant fluctuations in the trading volume in our common stock may cause significant price variations to occur. Increased market volatility could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, which could make it difficult for investors to sell shares at volumes, prices, or times desired and could result in a risk of loss. Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of our equity securities in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of equity securities. We may issue shares of equity securities as consideration for future acquisitions and investments and under compensation and incentive plans. We may also grant registration rights covering those shares of our equity securities in connection with any such acquisition or investment. Sales of substantial amounts of our equity securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our securities. Our directors and executive officers have significant control over our business. As of December 31, 2024, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 15.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Consequently, our management and board of directors may be able to significantly affect the outcome of the election of directors and the potential outcome of other matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, such as mergers, the sale of substantially all of our assets, and other extraordinary corporate matters. The interests of these insiders could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. The rights of our common shareholders may be subordinate to the holders of any debt securities or preferred stock that we may issue in the future. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any outstanding long-term debt. However, any future indebtedness that we may incur may be senior to our common stock. As a result, we would make payments on our potential future indebtedness before any dividends could be paid on our common stock, and, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation, the holders of our potential future indebtedness would be satisfied in full before any distributions could be made to the holders of our common stock. Although we do not currently have any outstanding preferred stock, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to determine the terms of each issuance of preferred stock and any indebtedness, without shareholder approval, which may be senior to our common stock. As a result, holders of our 29

common stock bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or equity securities or our incurrence of other borrowings may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Our dividend policy may change without notice, and our future ability to pay dividends is subject to restrictions. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive only such cash dividends as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Although we anticipate paying quarterly dividends going forward, we have no obligation to continue paying dividends, and we may change our dividend policy at any time without notice to our shareholders. Our ability to pay dividends may also be limited on account of any potential future outstanding indebtedness, as we generally would make payments on outstanding indebtedness before any dividends could be paid on our common stock. Also, because our primary earning asset is our investment in the capital stock of the Bank, we are dependent upon dividends from the Bank to pay our operating expenses, satisfy our obligations, and pay dividends on our common stock. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock will substantially depend upon its earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, and other factors deemed relevant by its board of directors. There are numerous laws and banking regulations and guidance that limit our and the Bank’s ability to pay dividends. For more information on dividend regulations, see “Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation.” Our stock repurchase program may not enhance long-term stockholder value, and stock repurchases, if any, could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and diminish our cash reserves. We maintain stock repurchase programs. The repurchase programs authorize us to purchase up to a set amount of our outstanding shares of common stock between specific dates. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. We have also repurchased shares of our common stock outside of our stock repurchase programs in privately negotiated repurchases with approval from the board of directors. Repurchases could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a stock repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Additionally, stock repurchases will diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions, support our operations, invest in securities, and pay dividends, and could result in lower overall returns on our cash balances. Stock repurchases may not enhance shareholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares of stock, and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program’s effectiveness. Repurchases are subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. Our corporate governance documents, and certain corporate and banking laws applicable to us, could make a takeover more difficult. Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended and restated, and corporate and federal banking laws, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our organization or conduct a proxy contest, even if those events were perceived by many of our shareholders as beneficial to their interests. These provisions, and the corporate and banking laws and regulations applicable to us, enable our board of directors to issue additional shares of authorized, but unissued capital stock; specify that our shareholders do not have preemptive rights; issue “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board; increase the size of the board and fill the vacancies created by the increase; not be elected by cumulative voting; amend our bylaws without shareholder approval; require the request of holders of at least 25.0% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at a meeting to call a special shareholders’ meeting; establish an advance notice procedure for director nominations and other shareholder proposals; and require prior regulatory application and approval of any transaction involving control of our organization. These provisions may discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control, including under circumstances in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium over the market price of our shares. Securities analysts may not continue coverage on us or may publish unfavorable reports, which could adversely impact the price of our common stock. The trading market for our common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us and our business. We do not have any control over these securities analysts, and they may not cover us. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our common stock to decline. If we are covered by securities analysts and are the subject of an unfavorable report, the price of our common stock may decline. 30

Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Industry We operate in a highly regulated environment and the laws and regulations that govern our operations, corporate governance, executive compensation, and accounting principles, or changes in them, or our failure to comply with them, could subject us to regulatory action or penalties. We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and legal requirements that govern almost all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations are not intended to protect our shareholders or creditors. Rather, these laws and regulations are intended to protect consumers, customers, depositors, the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund, and the overall financial stability of the U.S. These laws and regulations, among other matters, prescribe minimum capital requirements, impose limitations on the business activities in which we can engage, limit the dividends or distributions that the Bank can pay to us and that we can pay to our shareholders, require us to have an effective anti-money laundering program, and prohibit discriminatory lending practices and unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts. Compliance with laws and regulations can be difficult and costly, and changes to laws and regulations often impose additional compliance costs. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations, even if the failure follows good faith efforts or reflects a difference in interpretation, could subject us to restrictions on our business activities, fines, and other penalties, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, capital base, the price of our securities, and result in reputational damage. Further, any new laws, rules, and regulations could make compliance more difficult or expensive. For additional information regarding laws and regulation to which our business is subject, see “Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation.” Legislative and regulatory actions taken now or in the future, may increase our costs. Current and past economic conditions, particularly in the financial markets, have resulted in government regulatory agencies and political bodies placing increased focus and scrutiny on the financial services industry. New proposals for legislation and regulation continue to be introduced in the U.S. Congress and by regulatory agencies, which could substantially increase regulation of the financial services industry; impose restrictions on the operations and general ability of firms within the industry to conduct business consistent with historical practices, including in the areas of compensation, interest rates, fees on products and services (including overdraft fees and NSF fees), financial product offerings, and disclosures; and have an effect on collection and bankruptcy proceedings with respect to consumer residential real estate mortgages, among other things. Certain aspects of current or proposed regulatory or legislative changes, if enacted or adopted, may impact the profitability of our business activities by requiring more oversight or changing certain of our business practices, including our ability to offer new products, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans, and achieve satisfactory interest rate spreads. They also may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make necessary operational changes to comply, which could further impact the profitability of our business activities and increase our costs. In addition, future changes in tax laws may have an adverse effect on our income tax expense, deferred tax balances, and the amount of taxes payable, which could have an adverse effect on our business and profitability. New activities and expansion require regulatory approvals, and failure to obtain them may restrict our growth. As opportunities arise, we plan to continue establishing de novo banking centers as a part of our organic growth strategy. In addition, we may complement and expand our business by pursuing strategic acquisitions of financial institutions and other complementary businesses. Generally, we must receive state and federal regulatory approval before we can acquire an FDIC-insured depository institution or related business or open new de novo banking centers. Such regulatory approvals may not be granted on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We may also be required to open or sell banking centers as a condition to receiving regulatory approval, which condition may not be acceptable to us or, if acceptable to us, may reduce the benefit of any acquisition. De novo expansion and any acquisitions carry with them numerous risks, including the inability to obtain all required regulatory approvals. Federal and state banking agencies periodically conduct examinations of our business, and our failure to comply with any supervisory actions as a result of such examinations could result in regulatory action or penalties. As part of the bank regulatory process, the FDIC, the OFI, and the Federal Reserve periodically conduct examinations of our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a federal or state banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other aspects of any of our operations had become unsatisfactory, or that we or the Bank were in violation of any law or regulation, such agency may take a number of different remedial actions that it deems appropriate. These actions include the power to stop any practices such agency found to be unsafe or unsound; to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice; to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced; to direct an increase in our capital; to restrict our ability to pay dividends; to restrict our growth; to assess civil money penalties against us, the Bank, or our respective officers and directors; to remove officers and directors; and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate the Bank’s deposit insurance and place it into receivership or conservatorship. 31

We are subject to capital requirements, which may result in lower returns on equity, require us to raise additional capital, prevent us from accessing FHLB advances, restrict our access to other borrowing lines, limit growth opportunities, result in regulatory restrictions, or require us to commit capital resources to support the Bank. Because we and the Bank do not intend to utilize the simplified CBLR framework, we both remain subject to rules designed to implement the recommendations with respect to regulatory capital standards, commonly known as Basel III. The rules establish a regulatory capital standard based on common equity Tier I, which require us and the Bank to satisfy a minimum capital adequacy requirement. Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject us to a variety of limitations on dividends, stock repurchases, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Our subsidiary, Red River Bank, is also subject to separate regulatory capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. If the Bank does not meet minimum capital requirements, it will be subject to prompt corrective action by the FDIC. Prompt corrective action can include progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management, and capital distributions. Even if we satisfy the objectives of our capital plan and meet minimum capital requirements, it is possible that our regulators may ask us to raise additional capital. For example, banking organizations experiencing significant internal growth, making acquisitions, or experiencing financial difficulties are often expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. In addition, the Federal Reserve may require us to commit capital resources to support the Bank. The Federal Reserve requires a bank holding company to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support its subsidiary banks. Under this “source of strength” doctrine, the Federal Reserve may require a bank holding company to make capital injections into a troubled subsidiary bank at times when the bank holding company may not be inclined to do so and may charge the bank holding company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources to such a subsidiary bank. Accordingly, we could be required to make a capital injection to the Bank if it experiences financial distress. Such a capital injection may be required at a time when our resources are limited, and we may be required to raise additional debt or equity capital to make the required capital injection. Additionally, depending on our capital levels, the FHLB of Dallas may reduce or eliminate entirely our total borrowing availability with it. Our other borrowing lines may also be restricted or include increased borrowing costs. These actions could come at a time when we have limited other funding options and could jeopardize our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, or meet other obligations such as repaying any potential borrowings or meeting deposit withdrawal demands, which could adversely impact our business or profitability. For additional information regarding regulatory capital standards to which our business is subject, see “Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation.” Federal and state consumer lending laws may restrict our ability to originate certain mortgage loans, increase our risk of liability with respect to such loans, increase the time and expense associated with the foreclosure process, or prevent us from foreclosing at all. Certain federal and state laws are intended to eliminate lending practices that are considered “predatory.” These laws prohibit practices such as steering borrowers away from more affordable products, selling unnecessary insurance to borrowers, repeatedly refinancing loans, and making loans without a reasonable expectation that the borrowers will be able to repay the loans irrespective of the value of the underlying property. It is our policy not to make predatory loans, but these laws create the potential for liability with respect to our lending and loan investment activities. They increase our cost of doing business and, ultimately, may prevent us from making certain loans. They also may cause us to reduce the average percentage rate or the points and fees on loans that we do make. Additionally, consumer protection initiatives or changes in state or federal law may substantially increase the time and expense associated with the foreclosure process or prevent us from foreclosing at all. We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance. Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by the level of its assessment base and its risk classification under an FDIC risk-based assessment system. The FDIC has the power to change deposit insurance assessment rates, the manner deposit insurance is calculated, and also to charge special assessments to FDIC-insured institutions. Increases in assessment rates or special assessments that apply to all banks may occur in the future, especially if there are significant financial institution failures. Any future special assessments or increases in assessment rates could reduce our profitability, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 32

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy Our ERM program is designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across our Company, including financial, operational, reputational, strategic, legal, liquidity, and credit. Cybersecurity is a critical component of this program as it is necessary for supporting our business and protecting our customers in an increasingly complex environment. The cybersecurity component of our ERM program is designed around the FFIEC Information Security IT Examination Handbook, the FFIEC Business Continuity Planning Handbook, and the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, and is designed to protect the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of our computer systems, networks, software, and information assets, including client and other sensitive data. Cybersecurity is an ongoing initiative that we monitor very closely. Threats to data security emerge and change rapidly. Cyber threats could include attacks that are common to most industries, such as ransomware attacks, unauthorized access, tampering, malware insertion, or other system integrity events, but could also include attacks from highly organized perpetrators targeting financial services companies. The cybersecurity component of our ERM program consists of several elements including: • A risk assessment process that identifies and prioritizes material cybersecurity risks, defines and evaluates the effectiveness of controls to mitigate the risks, and reports results to executive management and the board of directors. • A third-party managed detection and response service, which monitors the security of our information systems around-the-clock, including intrusion detection and alerting. • A dedicated information security team covering all critical cyber defense functions such as engineering, data protection, identity and access management, insider risk management, security operations, threat emulation, and threat intelligence. • A training program that educates employees about cybersecurity risks and how to protect themselves from cyberattacks. • An awareness program that keeps employees informed about cybersecurity threats and how to stay safe online. • An incident response plan that outlines the steps we will take to respond to a cybersecurity incident, which is tested on a periodic basis. We expect each of our employees to be responsible for the security and confidentiality of our client information and our computer systems. We communicate this responsibility to each employee upon beginning employment with us and regularly throughout their employment. We require new hires to complete training on cyber-crime, social engineering, and cybersecurity awareness, and we also require this training during each year of employment thereafter. Employees are tested on their understanding of these requirements and provide acknowledgement of their responsibilities. Additionally, we regularly provide employees with information security awareness training covering the recognition and appropriate handling of potential phishing emails, which can introduce malware to our network, result in the theft of user credentials, and place sensitive data at risk. We regularly test employees to determine their susceptibility to phishing emails and require those more susceptible employees to take additional training. We protect our network and information assets with industry-tested security products and processes. Our information security team actively monitors our networks and systems to detect suspicious or malicious activity. We also conduct vulnerability scans to determine areas that need improvement. Our cybersecurity team maintains their current knowledge through training, obtaining professional certifications, and participating in industry groups. Our information security team expands and tests their knowledge of cyber threats through on-the-job training and periodic simulated exercises to practice responses to potential real-life threats. We also engage expert cyber consultants, as necessary and appropriate. We engage in regular assessments of our infrastructure, software systems, and network architecture, using both our internal information security team as well as third-party consultants to ensure that cybersecurity risks are appropriately identified and that controls are appropriately designed to mitigate such risks. We also maintain a third-party risk management program designed to ensure that our vendors meet our cybersecurity requirements. This includes conducting periodic risk assessments of vendors, requiring vendors to implement appropriate cybersecurity controls, and monitoring vendor compliance with our cybersecurity requirements. While cybersecurity risks have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, we do not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats or attacks, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For further discussion of risks from cybersecurity threats, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report. 33

Governance Our IT Director and ISO are primarily responsible for the cybersecurity component and are key members of the ERM program, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. Both our IT Director and ISO engage with our information security team to accomplish the goals of the cybersecurity component of our ERM program. The information security team consists of information security professionals with varying degrees of education and experience. In particular, our IT Director and ISO are both qualified professionals with appropriate education, experience, and professional certifications. Each has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of IT and data security and hold relevant professional certifications that ensure expertise in preventing, detecting, and managing cyber risk. Our board of directors has approved management committees, including the OTC, to provide operational risk oversight for information security risks. The IT Director is the chair of the OTC, and the ISO is a member of the OTC. The OTC generally meets quarterly to provide oversight of the risk management strategy, standards, policies, practices, and mitigation and prevention efforts employed to manage security risks. It also ensures that our internal control infrastructure is appropriate and commensurate with the growth of, or changes to, our information systems and processes. More frequent meetings may occur as needed to facilitate timely communication and monitoring efforts. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the IT Director and ISO would become aware of the incident or potential incident through their own detection, detection by us, detection by a third-party consultant, or, in the case of a cybersecurity incident occurring on a system administered by a third party, through notification from that third party. Upon becoming aware of a cybersecurity incident or a potential cybersecurity incident, the IT Director and the ISO, in collaboration with the information security team, other employees, and external consultants as needed, would work to mitigate any impact of the incident or potential incident. The IT Director and the ISO would also inform the OTC of an incident or potential incident. Our board of directors has ultimate authority and responsibility for overseeing our ERM program, including risks related to cybersecurity. Our board oversees our ERM program through the Bank’s board, which meets monthly with the exception of August and November. The Bank’s board reviews all minutes of the OTC and also receives a report at each meeting regarding cybersecurity risk levels and performance regarding various information security metrics. Item 2. Properties As of December 31, 2024, Red River Bank operated from a network of 28 banking centers throughout Louisiana and one combined LDPO in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Bank’s principal executive office is located at 1412 Centre Court Drive, Suite 301, Alexandria, Louisiana 71301. Banking centers are located in the following Louisiana markets: Central, which includes the Alexandria MSA; Northwest, which includes the Shreveport-Bossier City MSA; Capital, which includes the Baton Rouge MSA; Southwest, which includes the Lake Charles MSA; the Northshore, which includes Covington; Acadiana, which includes the Lafayette MSA; and New Orleans. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank owned its main office building, its operations center, and 22 of its banking centers. The remaining banking office facilities were subject to lease agreements. Our facilities are in good condition and are adequate to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we, including our subsidiaries, are or may be involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against us or our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation or that of our subsidiaries, even if resolved favorably. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information for Common Stock Shares of our common stock are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RRBI.” Our shares have been traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market since May 3, 2019. Prior to that date, there was no public trading market for our common stock. Holders of Record As of February 28, 2025, there were approximately 232 holders of record of our common stock. 34

Dividends and Dividend Policy We anticipate paying quarterly dividends on our common stock, subject to approval by our board of directors. Although we expect to pay quarterly dividends, we have no obligation to pay dividends, and we may change our dividend policy at any time without notice to our shareholders. Any future determination relating to dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including: our historical and projected financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations; our capital levels and needs; any acquisitions or potential acquisitions that we are considering; contractual, statutory, and regulatory prohibitions and other limitations; general economic conditions; and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. For information on regulatory restrictions on our and the Bank’s present and future ability to pay dividends, see “Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation - Bank Holding Company Regulation - Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength” and “- Bank Regulation - Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends.” Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Our purchases of shares of common stock made during the quarter under our publicly announced stock repurchase program are summarized in the table below: (dollars in thousands, except per share data) Period Total Number of Shares Purchased Average Price Paid per Share(1) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program(2)(4)(5) October 1 - October 31, 2024 — $ — — $ 1,224 November 1 - November 30, 2024(3) 50,632 $ 50.04 632 $ 1,103 December 1 - December 31, 2024 — $ — — $ 1,103 Total 50,632 $ 50.04 632 $ 1,103 (1) Average price paid per share includes the commission expense paid on the share repurchases, but excludes the excise tax recorded on the share repurchases. (2) On December 14, 2023, we announced that our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The 2024 stock repurchase program authorized us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases were made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, and in privately negotiated transactions. (3) On November 5, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 50,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. The repurchase was supplemental to the 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder. (4) On December 19, 2024, we announced that our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2024 stock repurchase program. The renewed stock repurchase program has similar terms to the 2024 stock repurchase program and authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. (5) The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is reduced by the amount of the commission expense and the excise tax recorded on the share repurchases. The excise tax includes the tax on the shares repurchased during 2023 and 2024 that reduced the availability under the 2024 stock repurchase program. 35

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to focus on significant changes in financial condition and results of operations of Red River Bancshares, Inc. on a consolidated basis during the year ended December 31, 2024 and selected prior periods. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with information presented elsewhere in this Report, including our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions, or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. See the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law. CORPORATE SUMMARY Red River Bancshares, Inc. is the bank holding company for Red River Bank, a Louisiana state-chartered bank established in 1999 that provides a fully integrated suite of banking products and services tailored to the needs of our commercial and retail customers. As of December 31, 2024, Red River Bank operated from a network of 28 banking centers throughout Louisiana and one combined LDPO in New Orleans, Louisiana. Banking centers are located in the following Louisiana markets: Central, which includes the Alexandria MSA; Northwest, which includes the Shreveport- Bossier City MSA; Capital, which includes the Baton Rouge MSA; Southwest, which includes the Lake Charles MSA; the Northshore, which includes Covington; Acadiana, which includes the Lafayette MSA; and New Orleans. Our priority is to drive shareholder value through the establishment of a market-leading commercial banking franchise based in Louisiana. We provide our services through relationship-oriented bankers who are committed to their customers and the communities where we offer our products and services. Our strategy is to expand market share in existing markets and engage in opportunistic new market de novo expansion, supplemented by strategic acquisitions of financial institutions with customer-oriented, compatible philosophies and in desirable geographic areas. 2024 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS In 2024, we had steady improvement in the net interest margin and EPS, along with solid loan activity and growth. We also increased our cash dividend, had significant stock buyback activity, and expanded our banking center network. • Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $34.2 million, or $4.95 diluted EPS, a decrease of $644,000, or 1.8%, compared to $34.9 million, or $4.86 diluted EPS, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was mainly due to higher operating expenses, lower noninterest income, and higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net interest income. • The return on assets was 1.11% for 2024 and 1.15% for 2023. • The return on equity was 11.02% for 2024 and 12.44% for 2023. • Assets increased $20.8 million, or 0.7%, to $3.15 billion as of December 31, 2024, compared to $3.13 billion as of December 31, 2023. • Loans HFI increased $82.2 million, or 4.1%, to $2.08 billion as of December 31, 2024, compared to $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2023. The increase in loans was due to new loan activity in various markets across Louisiana. • Deposits totaled $2.81 billion as of December 31, 2024, consistent with December 31, 2023. In 2024, customer deposit balances were consistent, with normal activity. • As of December 31, 2024, total securities were $684.9 million, or 21.7% of assets, compared to $714.3 million, or 22.8% of assets, as of December 31, 2023. Securities decreased $29.4 million mainly due to maturities and principal repayments exceeding purchases. • For 2024, liquid assets, which are cash and cash equivalents, decreased $36.5 million to $269.0 million, compared to $305.4 million for 2023. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 8.54% as of December 31, 2024 and 9.76% as of December 31, 2023. • Net interest income increased between 2024 and 2023 with higher interest income being partially offset by higher interest expense. The net interest margin FTE increased 5 bps to 2.96% for 2024 compared to 2.91% for the prior year. The 2024 net interest income and net interest margin FTE were impacted by the changing interest rate environment, combined with repricing activity in loans, securities, and deposits. • Provision expense was $1.2 million for 2024 compared to $735,000 for 2023. 37

• NPAs were $3.3 million, or 0.10% of assets, as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the ACL was $21.7 million, or 1.05% of loans HFI. • In 2024, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, resulting in annual cash dividends of $0.36 per share. In 2023, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, resulting in annual cash dividends of $0.32 per share. In the first quarter of 2025, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. • The 2024 stock repurchase program authorized us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. In 2024, under this plan, on the open market, we repurchased 17,085 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $809,000. We also completed a privately negotiated stock repurchase of 60,000 shares of our common stock for $3.0 million, which reduced the availability under the 2024 stock repurchase program. The 2024 stock repurchase program expired on December 31, 2024, with $1.1 million of remaining availability. • Also in 2024, we completed two other privately negotiated stock repurchases of an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. These repurchases were supplemental to our 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases under the program. • In 2024, we repurchased a total of 327,085 shares of our common stock, or 4.6% of the December 31, 2023 outstanding shares. For 2024, these repurchases benefited earnings per share by $0.14. • On December 19, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the renewal of our stock repurchase program for 2025. The 2025 stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. • We expanded organically throughout Louisiana with the following events: ◦ In the second quarter of 2024, we opened a second Red River Bank full-service banking center in the New Orleans, Louisiana market. ◦ In the fourth quarter of 2024, Red River Bank purchased property in Lafayette, Louisiana and plans to build a new banking center at that location, which would be our second banking center in the Acadiana market. • In 2024, the Company and Red River Bank, were included in various financial industry ranking reports: ◦ S&P Global Market Intelligence ranked Red River Bank 15th of the top 50 best-performing community banks in 2023 with assets between $3.0 and $10.0 billion. ◦ Bank Director Magazine ranked the Company 9th in the top 30 best-performing publicly traded financial institutions with assets less than $5.0 billion. ◦ The American Banker publication included Red River Bank in its “2024 Best Banks to Work For” ranking. The following tables set forth selected historical consolidated financial information for each of the periods indicated. The historical financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, except for the selected ratios, is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a discussion of results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. A discussion regarding our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, can be found in “Part II - Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024. General Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $34.2 million, or $4.95 diluted EPS, a decrease of $644,000, or 1.8%, compared to $34.9 million, or $4.86 diluted EPS, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was mainly due to a $2.3 million increase in operating expenses, a $673,000 decrease in noninterest income, and a $465,000 increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in net interest income. The return on assets for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 1.11%, compared to 1.15% for the prior year. The return on equity was 11.02% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 12.44% for the prior year. Our efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 60.29%, compared to 59.39% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets; (2) the cost of deposits and other funding sources; (3) net interest spread; and (4) net interest margin. Since noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing funding sources. The Federal Reserve sets the target federal funds rate, which is the cost of immediately available overnight funds, and influences other market rates, such as the prime rate. These market rates impact pricing of certain assets and liabilities used by financial institutions. In 2023, the interest rate environment trended upward. The FOMC increased the federal funds rate by 50 bps in the first quarter of 2023, by 25 bps in the second and third quarters of 2023, then kept the rate consistent through the second quarter of 2024. Late in the third quarter of 2024, the FOMC decreased the federal funds rate by 50 bps, and by an additional 50 bps during the fourth quarter of 2024, reducing the target federal funds range to 4.25%-4.50%. The average effective federal funds rate was 5.14% for 2024 compared to 5.03% for 2023. The net interest income and net interest margin FTE increased for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $89.3 million, which was $2.9 million, or 3.3%, higher than the year ended December 31, 2023. Net interest income increased due to an $18.7 million increase in interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $15.8 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income for the year ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to higher interest income on loans and securities. Loan income increased $15.5 million primarily due to higher rates on new and renewed loans, combined with higher balances in loans HFI. Securities income increased $2.8 million due to reinvesting lower yielding securities cash flows into higher yielding securities. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was due to high deposit rates through the third quarter of 2024, as we responded to deposit rate pressure, combined with larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts. However, in the fourth quarter of 2024, deposit rates were reduced in conjunction with the federal funds rate decreases by the FOMC. Net interest margin FTE increased 5 bps to 2.96% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from 2.91% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of interest rate environment fluctuations along with our balance sheet repricing structure. The net interest margin FTE improved each quarter in 2024. This improvement was due to having increased yields on loans and securities throughout the year, combined with the lower cost of deposits in the fourth quarter of 2024. The yield on securities increased 52 bps due to reinvesting lower yielding securities cash flows into higher yielding securities. The yield on loans increased 50 bps due to higher rates on new and renewed loans as a result of the higher interest rate environment through the third quarter of 2024. The average rate on new and renewed loans was 7.62% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 7.19% for the prior year. The net interest margin FTE for the year ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was impacted by an increase in the cost of deposits. The cost of deposits increased 56 bps to 1.74% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from 1.18% for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the same time periods, the rates on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 111 and 44 bps, respectively. The cost of deposits increased through the third quarter of 2024, due to deposit rate pressure and customers moving deposits from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. However, in conjunction with the federal funds rate decreases by the 40

FOMC that began late in the third quarter of 2024, we lowered selected deposit rates in the third and fourth quarters, which reduced deposit costs at the end of 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the target federal funds range was 4.25%-4.50%. The market’s expectation is that the FOMC may lower the target range of the federal funds rate by at least 25 bps in 2025. In 2025, we anticipate receiving approximately $101.0 million in securities cash flows with an average yield of 3.01%, and we project approximately $194.0 million of fixed rate loans will mature with an average yield of 6.04%. We expect to redeploy these balances into higher yielding assets. Additionally, in 2025, we expect $541.9 million of time deposits to mature with an average rate of 4.10%, which we anticipate repricing into lower cost deposits. As of December 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 16.0% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 8.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity and the movement in interest rates, we expect the net interest income and net interest margin to improve slightly during the first half of 2025. The following table presents average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense, and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the years presented: For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 2023 (dollars in thousands) Average Balance Outstanding Interest Income/ Expense Average Yield/ Rate Average Balance Outstanding Interest Income/ Expense Average Yield/ Rate Assets Interest-earning assets: Loans(1,2) $ 2,046,339 $ 108,969 5.24% $ 1,943,381 $ 93,439 4.74% Securities - taxable 554,194 13,098 2.36% 605,692 10,169 1.68% Securities - tax-exempt 193,368 3,991 2.06% 202,673 4,122 2.03% Federal funds sold — — —% 18,594 886 4.70% Interest-bearing deposits in other banks 210,959 11,077 5.22% 188,199 9,797 5.17% Nonmarketable equity securities 2,273 95 4.19% 3,353 155 4.61% Total interest-earning assets 3,007,133 $ 137,230 4.50% 2,961,892 $ 118,568 3.96% Allowance for credit losses (21,646) (20,980) Noninterest-earning assets 102,951 86,939 Total assets $ 3,088,438 $ 3,027,851 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing transaction deposits $ 1,246,528 $ 23,082 1.85% $ 1,249,259 $ 17,555 1.41% Time deposits 593,817 24,854 4.19% 470,522 14,511 3.08% Total interest-bearing deposits 1,840,345 47,936 2.60% 1,719,781 32,066 1.86% Other borrowings — — —% 1,151 64 5.49% Total interest-bearing liabilities 1,840,345 $ 47,936 2.60% 1,720,932 $ 32,130 1.87% Noninterest-bearing liabilities: Noninterest-bearing deposits 910,507 1,004,107 Accrued interest and other liabilities 26,884 22,385 Total noninterest-bearing liabilities 937,391 1,026,492 Stockholders’ equity 310,702 280,427 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 3,088,438 $ 3,027,851 Net interest income $ 89,294 $ 86,438 Net interest spread 1.90% 2.09% Net interest margin 2.91% 2.87% Net interest margin FTE(3) 2.96% 2.91% Cost of deposits 1.74% 1.18% Cost of funds 1.59% 1.08% (1) Includes average outstanding balances of loans HFS of $2.9 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(3) Net interest margin FTE includes an FTE adjustment using a 21.0% federal income tax rate on tax-exempt securities and tax-exempt loans. 41

Rate/Volume Analysis Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 vs 2023 Increase (Decrease) Due to Change in Total Increase (in thousands) Volume Rate (Decrease)(1) Interest-earning assets: Loans $ 4,953 $ 10,577 $ 15,530 Securities - taxable (865) 3,794 2,929 Securities - tax-exempt (189) 58 (131) Federal funds sold (886) — (886) Interest-bearing deposits in other banks 1,177 103 1,280 Nonmarketable equity securities (50) (10) (60) Total interest-earning assets $ 4,140 $ 14,522 $ 18,662 Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing transaction deposits $ (38) $ 5,565 $ 5,527 Time deposits 3,802 6,541 10,343 Total interest-bearing deposits 3,764 12,106 15,870 Other borrowings (64) — (64) Total interest-bearing liabilities $ 3,700 $ 12,106 $ 15,806 Increase (decrease) in net interest income $ 440 $ 2,416 $ 2,856 (1) The change in interest attributable to rate has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. Changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate. Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses is the amount necessary to maintain the ACL and the reserve for unfunded commitments at a level considered appropriate by management. Factors impacting the provision include loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, the level of unfunded commitments, and current economic conditions. The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the provision for credit losses: For the Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Increase (Decrease) Provision for credit losses $ 1,200 $ 735 $ 465 63.3% The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled $1.2 million, an increase of $465,000 from $735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses for 2024 included $1.0 million for loans and $200,000 for unfunded commitments. The primary drivers of the increase were the potential economic challenges resulting from the recent inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, current economic forecasts, and loan growth. In the second half of 2024, we had an increase in unfunded loan commitments, which also contributed to the increase in provision for credit losses. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations. Noninterest Income Our primary sources of noninterest income are fees related to the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, brokerage income from advisory services, and other loan and deposit fees. Noninterest income decreased $673,000 to $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $21.1 million for the prior year. The decrease in noninterest income was due to lower income from SBIC limited partnerships of which the Bank is a member and lower loan and deposit fee income, partially offset by higher mortgage loan income and net debit card income. 42

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income: For the Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Increase (Decrease) Noninterest income: Service charges on deposit accounts $ 5,674 $ 5,776 $ (102) (1.8%) Debit card income, net 3,836 3,563 273 7.7% Mortgage loan income 2,490 1,965 525 26.7% Brokerage income 3,791 3,798 (7) (0.2%) Loan and deposit income 2,034 2,140 (106) (5.0%) Bank-owned life insurance income 851 754 97 12.9% Gain (Loss) on equity securities (28) (14) (14) (100.0%) SBIC income 1,453 2,873 (1,420) (49.4%) Other income 340 259 81 31.3% Total noninterest income $ 20,441 $ 21,114 $ (673) (3.2%) SBIC income decreased $1.4 million to $1.5 million for 2024, compared to $2.9 million for 2023. In 2024, we received $114,000 of distribution payments, in addition to normal income. In 2023, we received income from the sale of an investment, in addition to normal income. Loan and deposit income decreased $106,000 to $2.0 million for 2024, compared to $2.1 million for 2023. The decrease was primarily related to lower deposit fees due to changing customer deposit activity, partially offset by higher nonrecurring loan related fees. Mortgage loan income increased $525,000 to $2.5 million for 2024, compared to $2.0 million for 2023, mainly due to an increase in the average loan amount, which generated higher mortgage loan fee income. Debit card income, net, increased $273,000 to $3.8 million for 2024, compared to $3.6 million for 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we terminated our previous debit card provider contract, which resulted in $145,000 of nonrecurring income. In January 2024, a newly negotiated debit card provider contract became effective, which resulted in an increase in debit card income. These increases were partially offset by higher debit card processing expenses. Operating Expenses Operating expenses are composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships, and providing services. Operating expenses increased $2.3 million to $66.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $63.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, technology expenses, legal and professional expenses, and occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by lower other taxes and loan and deposit expenses. 43

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of operating expenses: For the Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Increase (Decrease) Operating expenses: Personnel expenses $ 38,623 $ 37,241 $ 1,382 3.7% Non-staff expenses: Occupancy and equipment expenses 6,691 6,581 110 1.7% Technology expenses 3,182 2,759 423 15.3% Advertising 1,374 1,302 72 5.5% Other business development expenses 2,076 1,987 89 4.5% Data processing expense 2,331 2,320 11 0.5% Other taxes 2,407 2,721 (314) (11.5%) Loan and deposit expenses 895 984 (89) (9.0%) Legal and professional expenses 2,657 2,378 279 11.7% Regulatory assessment expenses 1,654 1,645 9 0.5% Other operating expenses 4,264 3,955 309 7.8% Total operating expenses $ 66,154 $ 63,873 $ 2,281 3.6% Personnel expenses are the largest component of operating expenses and include payroll expenses, incentive compensation, benefit plans, health insurance, and payroll taxes. Personnel expenses increased $1.4 million to $38.6 million for 2024 compared to $37.2 million in 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense as a result of net staff changes, partially offset by a decrease in medical insurance expense. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 369 and 362 total employees, respectively. Technology expenses increased $423,000 to $3.2 million for 2024 compared to $2.8 million for 2023. This increase was primarily due to implementing new software and $51,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to our new banking center location and new administrative office, both in the New Orleans market. Legal and professional expenses increased $279,000 to $2.7 million for 2024 compared to $2.4 million for 2023. This increase was due to higher contracted services, higher public company expenses, and higher professional and advisory services mainly related to a newly negotiated debit card provider contract effective January 2024. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $110,000 to $6.7 million for 2024 compared to $6.6 million for 2023. This increase was primarily due to $111,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to our new banking center location and new administrative office, both in the New Orleans market, and other 2024 property renovations. The same period prior year had $255,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to opening our new operations center building, the expansion of a banking center in the Southwest market, and renovations of the main office building in Alexandria, Louisiana. Other taxes decreased $314,000 to $2.4 million for 2024 compared to $2.7 million for 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in State of Louisiana bank stock tax resulting from lower deposit account balances and lower net income for the applicable tax years. Loan and deposit expenses decreased $89,000 to $895,000 for 2024 compared to $984,000 for 2023. 2024 benefited from the receipt of a $262,000 negotiated, variable rebate from a vendor. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in collection and loan expenses. Income Tax Expense The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amounts of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Our accrued tax rate is based on an annualized projection and changes considering our most recent financial results and balances. Our effective income tax rates have differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities, life insurance policies, income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation, and permanent and temporary tax differences. 44

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, income tax expense: For the Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Increase (Decrease) Income tax expense $ 8,146 $ 8,065 $ 81 1.0% For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense remained consistent at $8.1 million. The comparability in income tax expense was primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income offset by an increase in the effective income tax rate due to permanent book versus tax differences. The effective income tax rate for 2024 was 19.2%, compared to 18.8% for 2023. FINANCIAL CONDITION As of December 31, 2024, assets were $3.15 billion, which was $20.8 million, or 0.7%, higher than $3.13 billion as of December 31, 2023. During 2024, loans HFI increased $82.2 million, or 4.1%, to $2.08 billion as of December 31, 2024. The increase in loans was due to improved loan activity in various markets across Louisiana. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $36.5 million, or 11.9%, to $269.0 million and were 8.5% of assets as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents decreased due to loan growth exceeding deposit growth. Total securities decreased $29.4 million, or 4.1%, to $684.9 million and were 21.7% of assets as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in securities was due to maturities and principal repayments exceeding purchases. Deposits were fairly consistent at $2.81 billion as of December 31, 2024 and $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. We had no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. During 2024, stockholders’ equity increased $15.9 million to $319.7 million as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the loans HFI to deposits ratio was 73.97%, compared to 71.13% as of December 31, 2023, and the noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits ratio was 30.89%, compared to 32.71% as of December 31, 2023. Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks Interest-bearing deposits in other banks were the third-largest component of earning assets as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, interest-bearing deposits in other banks were $238.4 million and were 7.6% of assets, a decrease of $13.9 million, or 5.5%, compared to $252.4 million and 8.1% of assets as of December 31, 2023. Excess liquidity that is not being deployed into loans or securities is placed in these accounts. Securities Our securities portfolio is the second-largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. As of December 31, 2024, our total securities portfolio was 21.7% of assets. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring unnecessary interest rate and credit risk, and complement our lending activities. We may invest in various types of liquid assets that are permissible under governing regulations and approved by our investment policy, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit of insured domestic banks, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, corporate notes having an investment rating of “A” or better, municipal bonds, and certain equity securities. Securities AFS and Securities HTM Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Total debt securities on the consolidated balance sheets were $681.9 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $29.4 million, or 4.1%, from $711.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $550.1 million. The carrying values of our securities AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any unrealized gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $63.2 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to a net unrealized loss of $62.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Securities HTM, which we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $131.8 million. Securities HTM had an unrealized loss of $22.8 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to an unrealized loss of $22.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Investment activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, included $157.3 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls, partially offset by $128.9 million of securities purchased. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no purchases or sales of securities HTM for the same period. Securities AFS purchased for the year ended December 31, 2024, consisted of $94.6 million in mortgage-backed securities and $34.2 million in U.S. agency securities. The mortgage-backed securities purchased had a yield of 5.26% and an average life of 3.99 years. The U.S. agency securities purchased had a yield of 5.71% and an average life of 4.08 years. 45

The securities portfolio tax-equivalent yield was 2.43% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 1.90% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in yield for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to reinvesting lower yielding securities cash flows received during 2024 into higher yielding securities. The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable indicator of their expected lives because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgage loans and other loans with varying maturities. The term of the underlying mortgages and loans may vary significantly due to the ability of a borrower to prepay. Monthly pay downs on mortgage-backed securities may cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than the stated contractual maturity. During a period of rising interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities are not likely to experience heavy prepayments of principal, and consequently, the average lives of these securities are typically lengthened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments may increase, thereby shortening the estimated average lives of these securities. As of December 31, 2024, the average life of our securities portfolio was 7.0 years with an estimated effective duration of 4.9 years. As of December 31, 2023, the average life of our securities portfolio was 7.1 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.0 years. The following tables summarize the amortized cost and estimated fair value of our securities by type as of the dates indicated. As of December 31, 2024, other than securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any one issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity.

We invest in the mutual fund as part of our strategy to meet our obligations described within the CRA, which encourages financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of their entire market area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking principles. Through this fund, mortgage-backed securities are purchased according to our allocations, with their underlying collateral located in our market areas, which strengthens our efforts to meet our CRA obligations. Equity securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with periodic changes in value recorded through the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2024, equity securities had a fair value of $2.9 million with a recognized loss of $28,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, equity securities had a fair value of $3.0 million with a recognized loss of $14,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Loan Portfolio Our loan portfolio is our largest category of earning assets, and interest income earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of income. We maintain a diversified loan portfolio with a focus on CRE, one-to-four family residential, and commercial and industrial loans. As of December 31, 2024, loans HFI were $2.08 billion, an increase of $82.2 million, or 4.1%, compared to $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2023. Loans HFI increased primarily due to new loan activity in various markets across Louisiana. 47

Nonperforming loans include loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more and loans that are on nonaccrual status. Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due. Asset quality is managed through disciplined underwriting policies, continual monitoring of loan performance, and focused management of NPAs. There can be no assurance, however, that the loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions, deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers, or a decline in the value of collateral. NPAs totaled $3.3 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $670,000, or 25.7%, from $2.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual loans, partially offset by a decrease in past due loans. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.10% as of December 31, 2024 and 0.08% as of December 31, 2023. 51

Loan classifications reflect a judgment about the risk of default and loss associated with the loans. Classifications are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss believed to be inherent in each loan. The methodology is structured so that reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss). Loans classified as pass are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If these weaknesses are not corrected, repayment possibilities for the loan may deteriorate. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification. Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible. Loans classified as doubtful have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the ACL. 52

Allowance for Credit Losses In determining the ACL for loans HFI, we estimate losses on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually and excluded from the collective evaluation. The ACL is determined using the CECL model, which considers relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of December 31, 2024, the ACL was $21.7 million, or 1.05%, of loans HFI. As of December 31, 2023, the ACL was $21.3 million, or 1.07%, of loans HFI. The $395,000 increase in the ACL for the year ended December 31, 2024, was due $1.0 million from the provision for credit losses on loans, partially offset by $605,000 of net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $1.2 million, an increase of $465,000 from $735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses for 2024 included $1.0 million for loans and $200,000 for unfunded commitments. The primary drivers of the increase were the potential economic challenges resulting from the recent inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, current economic forecasts, and loan growth. In the second half of 2024, we had an increase in unfunded loan commitments, which contributed to the increase in provision for credit losses. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $605,000, an increase of $300,000 from $305,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans HFI was 0.03% and 0.02% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 53

The following table displays activity in the ACL for December 31, 2024 and 2023: As of and for the Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Loans HFI $ 2,075,013 $ 1,992,858 Nonaccrual loans $ 2,968 $ 1,959 Average loans $ 2,046,339 $ 1,943,381 Allowance at beginning of period $ 21,336 $ 20,628 Impact of adopting ASC 326 — 278 Provision expense(1) 1,000 735 Charge-offs: Real estate: One-to-four family residential (1) (23) Construction and development — (9) Commercial and industrial (380) (58) Consumer (422) (383) Total charge-offs (803) (473) Recoveries: Real estate: One-to-four family residential 10 10 Commercial and industrial 63 30 Consumer 125 128 Total recoveries 198 168 Net (charge-offs)/recoveries (605) (305) Allowance at end of period $ 21,731 $ 21,336 ACL to loans HFI 1.05% 1.07% ACL to nonaccrual loans 732.18% 1,089.13% Net charge-offs to average loans 0.03% 0.02% (1) The $1.2 million provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024, includes $1.0 million for loans and $200,000 for unfunded loan commitments. We believe that we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above. Future provisions for credit losses on loans are subject to ongoing evaluations of the factors and loan portfolio risks, including economic pressures related to inflation, labor market and supply chain constraints, and natural disasters affecting the state of Louisiana. A decline in market area economic conditions, deterioration of asset quality, or growth in portfolio size could cause the allowance to become inadequate, and material additional provisions for credit losses could be required. 54

The following table displays the allocation of the ACL among the loan classifications as of the dates indicated. The allocations shown below should neither be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs, nor as an indication that charge-offs in the future will necessarily occur in these amounts or in the indicated proportions. The total ACL is available to absorb losses from any loan classification.

We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain consumer, commercial, and public entity customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest- bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and time deposit accounts. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities located primarily in our market areas. We do not have any internet-sourced or brokered deposits. Total deposits were $2.81 billion as of December 31, 2024, which remained consistent with $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. In 2024, customer deposit balances were consistent with normal activity. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $50.0 million, or 5.5%, during 2024 to $866.5 million as of December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 30.89% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 32.71% as of December 31, 2023. Interest-bearing deposits increased $53.2 million, or 2.8%, during 2024 to $1.94 billion as of December 31, 2024, with the largest increase in time deposits. The Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. The average deposit account size was approximately $28,000 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 55

We adjust deposit rates in part based upon our anticipated funding needs and liquidity position. We also consider the potential interest rate risk caused by extended maturities of time deposits when adjusting deposit rates. Our average deposit balance was $2.75 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $27.0 million, or 1.0%, from $2.72 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. For 2024, average public entity deposits were 8.1% of average total deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits for 2024 was 2.60% and 1.74%, respectively, compared to 1.86% and 1.18% for 2023, respectively. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits in 2024 as compared to 2023 was due to a higher rate environment that began in the second half of 2022 and continued until the FOMC decreased rates in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Also, as of December 31, 2024, 8.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits had floating rates, which adjust with market rates.

As of December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $879.8 million, or 31.4% of total deposits, compared to $887.8 million, or 31.7% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2023. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $667.6 million, or 23.8% of total deposits, compared to $643.6 million, or 23.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents of $269.0 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.62 billion equaled 214.6% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 282.8% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits. The following table presents the amount of time deposits, by account, that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) by time remaining until maturity for the period indicated: (in thousands) December 31, 2024 Three months or less $ 29,295 Over three months through six months 32,415 Over six months through 12 months 25,740 Over 12 months 4,063 Total $ 91,513 Borrowings Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may, from time to time, utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when such borrowings can then be invested at a positive interest rate spread for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our liquidity needs. We had no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. We utilize the FHLB of Dallas as needed as a funding source. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, availability under our FHLB of Dallas line was $1.04 billion and $934.1 million, respectively. This line is secured by a blanket lien on selected Red River Bank loans that meet FHLB of Dallas collateral requirements. At various times, we may obtain letters of credit from the FHLB of Dallas as collateral for our public entity deposits. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we held unfunded letters of credit from the FHLB of Dallas in the amount of $104.3 million and $104.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had net borrowing capacity of $931.6 million and $829.2 million, respectively, under this arrangement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under these agreements. Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. In 2023, we pledged securities to have borrowing access to the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility. In addition, effective March 2024, the Bank was approved for the Discount Window’s Borrower-In-Custody “BIC” program, which provides borrowing capacity through the pledging of eligible Red River Bank loans that are not pledged to the FHLB. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total borrowing capacity of $157.8 million, including $118.7 million through the BIC program, compared to a total borrowing capacity of $45.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Other Borrowings. We may also utilize federal funds from various correspondent financial institutions as a source of short- term funding. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $95.0 million in federal funds lines available from these funding sources. We had no outstanding balances on these lines as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Hancock Whitney Bank Line of Credit. We maintained a revolving line of credit of $6.0 million at Hancock Whitney Bank collateralized by 100.0% of the stock of the Bank until July 1, 2024. We had no outstanding balances on this line during 2024 or 2023. Stockholders’ Equity Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024, was $319.7 million, compared to $303.9 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $15.9 million, or 5.2%. This increase was attributable to $34.2 million of net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, $411,000 of stock compensation, and a $247,000, net of tax, market adjustment to AOCI related to securities, partially offset by the repurchase of 327,085 shares of common stock for $16.5 million and $2.5 million in cash dividends. The $16.5 million of common stock repurchases includes $213,000 of stock repurchase excise tax related to our 2023 and 2024 stock repurchases, which regulations require to be recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. During the second quarter of 2022, we reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from securities AFS to securities HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. At the date of transfer, the net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI and is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or 57

losses recognized as a result of the transfer. As of December 31, 2024, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $13.0 million, of which $10.3 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI. On December 14, 2023, our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The 2024 stock repurchase program authorized us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases were made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, and in privately negotiated transactions. On March 13, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $10.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to our 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder. On August 8, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 60,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $3.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to our 2024 stock repurchase program. However, in connection with the repurchase, we reduced the availability under our 2024 stock repurchase program by $3.0 million. On November 5, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 50,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. This repurchase was supplemental to our 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 17,085 shares of our common stock on the open market at an aggregate cost of $809,000 under the stock repurchase program. The 2024 stock repurchase program expired on December 31, 2024, with $1.1 million of remaining availability. Effective January 1, 2023, stock repurchases are subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. In the fourth quarter of 2024, $213,000 of stock repurchase excise tax was recorded. This tax relates to our 2023 and 2024 stock repurchases, which regulations require to be recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. On December 19, 2024, our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2024 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2024. The renewed program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. Regulatory Capital Requirements Capital management consists of maintaining equity and other instruments that qualify as regulatory capital to support current and future operations. Banking regulators view capital levels as important indicators of an institution’s financial soundness. As a general matter, bank holding companies and FDIC-insured depository institutions are required to maintain minimum capital relative to the amount and types of assets they hold. As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control our growth in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us. For additional information on regulatory capital guidelines and limits for the Bank and the Company, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 15. Regulatory Capital Requirements.” LIQUIDITY AND ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Liquidity As of December 31, 2024, we had sufficient liquid assets available and $1.62 billion accessible from other liquidity sources. Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and potential acquisitions, reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities, and cash flows from amortizing security and loan portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and prepayments on amortizing securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and the competitive environment in which we operate; therefore, these cash flows are monitored regularly. Liquidity levels are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Access to purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB of Dallas and the Federal 58

Reserve Bank of Atlanta are also available. Purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances can be utilized to meet funding obligations. Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is the funding of loans. We invest excess deposits in interest-earning deposit accounts at other banks or at the Federal Reserve, federal funds sold, securities, or other short-term liquid investments until the deposits are needed to fund loan growth or other obligations. Our average deposits increased $27.0 million, or 1.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in average total deposits was primarily due to new time deposit activity. Our average total loans increased $103.0 million, or 5.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to average total loans for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in average total loans was primarily due to the increase in real estate and commercial and industrial activity. As of December 31, 2024, liquid assets were $269.0 million compared to $305.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of $36.5 million, or 11.9%, was due to the funding of loans, partially offset by the inflow of deposits and net securities cash flows received during the year. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 8.54% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 9.76% as of December 31, 2023. Our securities portfolio is an alternative source for meeting liquidity needs and was our second-largest component of assets as of December 31, 2024. The securities portfolio generates cash flow through principal repayments, calls, and maturities, and certain securities can be sold or used as collateral in borrowings that allow for their conversion to cash. Securities AFS can generally be sold, while securities HTM have significant restrictions related to sales. As of December 31, 2024, we project receipt of approximately $101.0 million of principal repayments and maturities through December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $434.8 million, or 65.7%, of the fair value of the securities portfolio was available to be sold or used as collateral in borrowings as a liquidity source. We also utilize the FHLB of Dallas as needed as a viable funding source. FHLB of Dallas advances may be used to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB of Dallas advance compares favorably to the rates that would be required to attract the necessary deposits. We currently are classified as having “blanket lien collateral status,” which means that advances can be executed at any time without further collateral requirements. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Dallas was $931.6 million and $829.2 million, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Another borrowing source is the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. Effective the third quarter of 2023, the Bank pledged securities to have borrowing access to the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. In addition, effective March 2024, the Bank was approved for the Discount Window’s Borrower-In-Custody “BIC” program, which provides borrowing capacity through the pledging of eligible Red River Bank loans that are not pledged to the FHLB. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total borrowing capacity of $157.8 million, including $118.7 million through the BIC program, compared to a total borrowing capacity of $45.5 million as of December 31, 2023. There were no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks that provided for the availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $95.0 million in federal funds as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The rates for the federal funds lines are determined by the applicable commercial bank at the time of borrowing. We also maintained an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks until July 1, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total borrowing capacity of $95.0 million and $101.0 million, respectively, through these combined funding sources. We had no outstanding balances from either of these sources as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program was available from March 12, 2023 through March 11, 2024. The Bank did not utilize this program while it was being offered. Off-Balance Sheet Items In the normal course of business, we enter into certain financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans. We may also enter into contractual obligations. For more information about our commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3. Loans and Asset Quality - Commitments to Extend Credit.” For more information about our financial commitments with time deposits, operating lease obligations, and limited partnership investments and construction commitments, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 5. Deposits,” “- Note 7. Leases,” and “- Note 12. Off-Balance Sheet Contractual Obligations and Contingencies,” respectively. 59

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset-liability management policies provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our rate sensitivity position within our established policy guidelines. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet appropriately during the ordinary course of business. We have the ability to enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in limited circumstances, but it is not our policy to enter into such transactions on a regular basis. We do not enter into instruments such as financial options, financial futures contracts, or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We are not subject to foreign exchange risk, and our commodity price risk is immaterial, as the percentage of our agricultural loans to loans HFI was only 0.35% as of December 31, 2024. Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk and monitors the results of those strategies. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital given the current outlook on interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies, and other related factors. The committee meets quarterly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and economic values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits, and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as an interest rate simulation model and shock analysis. In conjunction with our interest rate risk management process, on a quarterly basis, we run various simulations within a static balance sheet. This model tests the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. We use parallel rate shock scenarios that assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. We also deploy a ramped rate scenario over a 12- month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Our nonparallel rate shock model simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated into the model, as are prepayment assumptions and maturity data and call options within the securities portfolio. The average life of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on assumptions developed from non-maturity deposit decay studies, which calculate average lives using historic closure rates. Bank policy regarding interest rate risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift, 15.0% for a 200 bp shift, and 20.0% for a 300 bp shift. In accordance with Bank policy regarding economic value at risk simulations performed by our risk model for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated fair value of equity for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift, 20.0% for a 200 bp shift, and 30.0% for a 300 bp shift. 60

The following table shows the impact of an instantaneous and parallel change in rates, at the levels indicated, and summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated. December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 % Change in Net Interest Income % Change in Fair Value of Equity % Change in Net Interest Income % Change in Fair Value of Equity Change in Interest Rates (bps) +300 4.7% (0.4%) 4.8% (5.3%) +200 3.2% 0.3% 3.5% (3.0%) +100 1.6% 0.6% 2.3% (1.0%) Base —% —% —% —% -100 (1.5%) (0.2%) (0.4%) 0.3% -200 (4.4%) (4.1%) (3.5%) (1.4%) -300 (7.2%) (11.1%) (7.6%) (5.2%) The results above, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, demonstrate that our balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means our assets have the opportunity to reprice at a faster pace than our liabilities, over the 12-month horizon. Our repricing opportunity is captured in a gap analysis, which is the process by which we measure the repricing gap between interest rate-sensitive assets versus interest rate-sensitive liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the reported percentage of changes in net interest income and fair value of equity remained within the policy thresholds. These values are reported at each quarterly Asset-Liability Management Committee meeting. The net interest income at risk and the fair value of equity will continue to be monitored, and appropriate mitigating action will be taken if needed. The impact of our floating rate loans and floating rate transaction deposits are also reflected in the results shown in the above table. As of December 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 16.0% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 8.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies and the slope of the yield curve. Impact of Inflation Our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession. Changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a much greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or by the same level as the inflation rate. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is our ability to manage the impact of changes in interest rates. In addition, inflation could also increase our operating costs related to our products and services. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed in this Report as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S. Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner we calculate the non- GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this Report may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures. 61

Tangible Assets, Tangible Equity, Tangible Book Value, and Realized Book Value Tangible Book Value Per Share. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing tangible book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share. As a result of previous acquisitions, we have a small amount of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2024, total intangible assets were $1.5 million, which is less than 1.0% of total assets. Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets. Realized Book Value Per Share. Realized book value per share is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that this measure is important because it allows us to monitor changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in AOCI. Our AOCI is impacted primarily by the unrealized gains and losses on securities AFS. These unrealized gains or losses on securities AFS are driven by market factors and may also be temporary and vary greatly from period to period. Due to the possibly temporary and greatly variable nature of these changes, we find it useful to monitor realized book value per share. We calculate realized book value per share as total stockholders’ equity less AOCI, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. AOCI has the effect of increasing or decreasing total book value while not increasing or decreasing realized book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for realized book value per share is book value per share. 62

Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following discussion presents an overview of our accounting policies that require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and assumptions that are inherent in our policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of the financial statements. Due to the complexity of these judgments and assumptions, an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations is critical. We believe that the judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate. Refer to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies” for details on the significant accounting principles and practices we follow. Allowance for Credit Losses The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be recognized over the lifetime of the loans. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates the Company’s and its peer’s historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. The ACL is available to absorb losses on loans HFI. The process and methodology employed to establish an ACL consist of two components: (1) a component involving individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics. 63

Management establishes an allowance for individual loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans based on the amount of expected credit losses calculated on those individual loans and any amounts determined to be uncollectible. Factors considered in measuring the extent of expected credit losses include payment status, collateral value, borrower financial condition, guarantor support, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. For loans evaluated on an individual bases that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used. In estimating an allowance for loans that share similar risk characteristics, loans are segmented into pools based on regulatory call report codes that are considered to share similar risk characteristics or areas of risk concentration. Expected credit losses are estimated using the cohort loss rate and remaining life loss rate methodologies. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. Once the losses have been tracked, the results are averaged together to determine the average remaining life loss rate to be applied to the current loans in the cohort and are adjusted for reasonable and supportable forecast periods, which is not to exceed a two-year period. Additionally, a lookback period and delay period are established for each pool, which affects the average remaining life loss rate. The lookback period defines how many quarterly cohort periods will be averaged together to form the average remaining life loss rate and varies by pool in order to capture the performance of cohorts under a variety of different conditions, both internal and external. The delay period defines the most recent cohort that will be used in the historical average and varies by pool due to the differing terms and remaining lives that may exist in different pools. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool and is further adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecast periods. Additionally, for loans that share similar risk characteristics, the ACL considers qualitative factors for each loan pool to adjust for differences between the historical period and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio related to: • Lending policies and procedures; • International, national, regional, and local economic business conditions; • The nature of the loan portfolio, including the volume of the portfolio and terms of the loans; • The experience, depth, and ability of our lending management; • The volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions; • The quality of the loan review and process; • The value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; • The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and • The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the historical loss experience for these expectations. Management considers the appropriateness of these qualitative assumptions as part of its allowance review and believes the ACL level is appropriate based on information available through the financial statement date.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Red River Bancshares, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Red River Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the entity; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 65

Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (i) related to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company’s loans held for investment portfolio totaled $2.08 billion as of December 31, 2024, and the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans held for investment was $21.73 million. The Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $521.50 million as of December 31, 2024, and the reserve for unfunded commitments was $642,000. These amounts are included in the ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments. As more fully described in Notes 1 and 3 to the Company’s financial statements, the Company estimates its exposure to expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date, for existing financial instruments held at amortized cost, and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit, and other financial guarantees that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Company measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. We identified the valuation of the ACL as a critical audit matter, as the determination of the ACL requires management to exercise significant judgment and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management must consider numerous subjective factors, including determining qualitative factors used to adjust the calculated allowance for credit losses, loan credit risk grading, and identifying loans requiring individual evaluation among others. As disclosed by management, different assumptions and conditions could result in a materially different amount for the estimate of the ACL. As such, there is a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity, and significant audit effort was required in performing procedures in auditing the ACL. Addressing the critical audit matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the ACL, including determination of the qualitative factors and reserve assumptions for loans evaluated on an individual basis, and evaluated the process utilized by management to challenge the model results and determine the best estimate of the ACL as of the balance sheet date; • Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls associated with the ACL process, including: ◦ reliability and accuracy of data used in the model, ◦ management’s review and approval of the selected qualitative factors, ◦ classifications of loans by loan segment, ◦ identification of problems loans, ◦ risk rating grades assigned to loans, ◦ management’s review and approval of the ACL; • Evaluated the appropriateness of the models and methodologies used in quantitative calculations; • Tested the completeness and accuracy of data used in the estimate; • Performed analysis of prepayment speeds used to calculate the weighted average remaining maturity; • Evaluated if qualitative factors were applied based on a comprehensive framework and compared to the adjustments utilized by management to both internal portfolio metrics and external macroeconomic data (as applicable) to support adjustments and evaluate trends in such adjustments; • Verified historical net loss; • Performed loan reviews in order to evaluate the accuracy of loan credit ratings and reasonableness of specific reserves on individually evaluated loans; and • Evaluated the disclosures in the financial statements. /s/ EISNERAMPER LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023 (Note: Partners of Postlethwaite & Netterville, APAC joined EisnerAmper LLP in 2023.

RED RIVER BANCSHARES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations The Company is a bank holding company headquartered in Alexandria, Louisiana. The Company’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Red River Bank, is a Louisiana state-chartered bank that provides a fully integrated suite of banking products and services tailored to the needs of commercial and retail customers. As of December 31, 2024, Red River Bank operated from a network of 28 banking centers throughout Louisiana and one combined LDPO in New Orleans, Louisiana. Banking centers are located in the following Louisiana markets: Central, which includes the Alexandria MSA; Northwest, which includes the Shreveport-Bossier City MSA; Capital, which includes the Baton Rouge MSA; Southwest, which includes the Lake Charles MSA; the Northshore, which includes Covington; Acadiana, which includes the Lafayette MSA; and New Orleans. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which the Company has controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices within the banking industry. Operating Segments While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various banking products, services, and markets, banking operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. For additional segment information see “Note 18. Segment Reporting.” Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Acquisition Accounting The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. Purchased assets, including loans, and assumed liabilities are recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of an acquisition as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Interest- bearing deposits in other banks consist of money market, certificate of deposit, and checking accounts and are carried at cost. Securities All debt securities of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were classified either as AFS or HTM. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Securities HTM, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on the sale and call of securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Purchased premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Equity securities include a CRA mutual fund owned by the Company, which is carried at fair value with any periodic changes in value recorded through the statements of income. Securities AFS The Company is required to measure expected credit losses on securities AFS. Impairment is evaluated when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management evaluates each security by considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, volatility of the security’s fair value, and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral, along with other factors. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by 74

the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. If a decline in the fair value related to creditworthiness or other factors is determined, an ACL is calculated using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component is recognized through the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the investment securities, and no ACL is recorded on accrued interest receivable. The Company’s current securities AFS portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency securities, and municipal bonds. The Company’s securities AFS, other than the municipal bonds, are considered treasuries, agencies, and instrumentalities of the U.S. government, which have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Municipal bonds AFS do not fall under the zero credit loss assumption and are evaluated quarterly using the considerations mentioned above to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. Securities HTM The Company is required to measure expected credit losses on securities HTM. Securities HTM are measured on a collective basis by major security type with those sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the securities HTM portfolio. Management monitors the HTM portfolio to determine whether an ACL should be recorded. The Company’s current securities HTM portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency securities. The Company’s securities HTM are considered agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government that have a zero credit loss assumption. These securities have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Nonmarketable Equity Securities Nonmarketable equity securities, which include investments in the FHLB of Dallas and First National Banker’s Bank, are carried at cost. Loans Held for Sale Residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. These mortgage loans are pre-sold prior to funding. Loans Held for Investment Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold, for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Interest income on loans is discontinued, and the loans are placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, uncollected accrued interest is reversed, reducing interest income, and future income accrual is discontinued. Subsequent payments, if any, of interest and fees are applied as reductions to the loan’s outstanding principal balance. Once the principal balance of a loan placed on nonaccrual status has been fully recovered, subsequent payments received are recognized as interest income on a cash basis. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans, excluding credit cards, are charged-off to the ACL to the extent management is relatively certain that principal and interest will be uncollectible. Management may elect to partially charge-off a loan to adjust the principal balance to the net realizable value of the collateral that secures the loan. When a partial charge-off is made, the remaining balance of the loan is placed on nonaccrual. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, if any, are credited to the ACL until the principal balance of the loan is fully recovered. Any subsequent payments are recognized as income. Credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off to the ACL no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Effective January 1, 2023, the ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans HFI to present management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses to be recognized over the lifetime of the loans. The amount of the ACL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts, or at all. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management is relatively certain that principal 75

and interest will be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This reasonable and supportable forecast period is currently one year and incorporates the Company’s and its peer’s historical losses. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to an average historical loss rate over a two-year period. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term, as well as for changes in economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in the Company’s historic loss factors. The determination of the amount of allowance involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. The Company utilizes cohort loss rate (static pool analysis) and remaining life loss rate methodologies to estimate the quantitative portion of the ACL for loan pools. The cohort loss rate methodology tracks a closed pool of loans over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. The remaining life loss rate methodology takes the calculated loss rate and applies that rate to a pool of loans on a periodic basis based on the remaining life expectation of that pool. 76

The portfolio pools are based primarily on regulatory call report codes. These pools and certain of the inherent risks in the Company’s loan portfolio are summarized in the following table. Loan Pool Risk Characteristics Residential construction This category consists of loans to residential developers and to individual clients for construction of single-family homes. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, and change in market trends. Commercial construction This category consists of loans to small and medium-sized businesses to construct owner occupied facilities and developers of CRE investment properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, change in market trends, and the ability to sell the property upon completion. Farmland This category consists of loans secured by real estate that is used or usable for agricultural purposes, including land used for crops, livestock production, grazing/pastureland, and timberland. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include adverse changes in climate, fluctuations in feed and livestock prices, and changes in property values. Home equity loans and lines This category consists of home equity loans and lines of credit. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment. Secured closed-liens This category consists of loans secured by primary and secondary liens on residential real estate. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions, and the interest rate environment. Generally, these loans are for longer terms than home equity loans and lines of credit. Multifamily This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, changes in the local economy, and factors that would impact property values. Owner occupied CRE This category consists of loans to established operating companies and secured by owner occupied offices and industrial real estate properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management. Non-owner occupied CRE This category consists of loans to developers and other persons or entities and secured by non-owner occupied CRE properties. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include fluctuations in the value of real estate, the overall strength of the economy, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrower’s management. Commercial and industrial This category consists of secured and unsecured loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans, and other business loans for working capital and operating purposes. Secured loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and other business assets. The performance of commercial and industrial loans may be adversely affected by, among other factors, conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral, and individual performance factors related to the borrower such as the quality of the borrower’s management. Consumer This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal use. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include the borrower’s financial condition, local unemployment rates, local economic conditions, and the interest rate environment. Tax-exempt This category consists of loans to political subdivisions primarily of the State of Louisiana including parishes, municipalities, utility districts, school districts, and development authorities. These loans undergo the same underwriting as any of the Company’s other loans and are typically paid for by ad valorem taxes or specific revenue sources. Other loans This category consists of loans not included in any other category. Risks inherent in this portfolio pool include local unemployment rates, local economic conditions, and the interest rate environment. 77

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are collateral dependent, the specific allowance is estimated by calculating the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and the Bank’s exposure. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow methodology is used. Either of these determinations are highly subjective and based on information available at the time of valuation. Reserve for Unfunded Commitments Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision is recorded in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded commitment balance to obtain the reserve amount. Allowance for Loan Losses For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023, the ALL was established for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio based upon management’s best assessment of the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. It was maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb potential losses through periodic changes to loan losses. The ALL consisted of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves related to loans classified as impaired. Loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable that the Bank would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans included TDRs and performing and nonperforming loans. Impaired loans were reviewed individually, and a specific allowance was allocated, if necessary, based on evaluation of either the fair value of the collateral underlying the loan or the present value of future cash flows calculated using the loan’s existing interest rate. General reserves were related to the remainder of the loan portfolio, including overdrawn deposit accounts, and were based on an evaluation of a number of factors, such as current economic conditions, the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, loss history, and other relevant factors. Acquired Loans Acquired loans, for which all contractual cash flows are expected to be received, are accounted for under the accounting guidance found in ASC Topic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. With the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, loans acquired as part of a business combination that have evidence of credit deterioration since their origination date are to be recorded at amortized cost with an associated allowance for the expected credit loss at the date of the acquisition. Prior to January 1, 2023, acquired loans, with evidence of credit deterioration, were accounted for under the accounting guidance found in ASC Topic 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Foreclosed Assets Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are HFS and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Foreclosed assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $38,000 and 69000 of foreclosed assets, respectively. Credit Related Financial Information In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. Premises and Equipment, Net Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Bank-Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees. The Bank is the beneficiary of the BOLI policies, which may be on past or present employees. BOLI policies have death benefits as well as a cash surrender value component, which is carried as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. 78

Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill for 2024 and 2023 as required by ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The evaluation indicated no impairment of the Company’s goodwill. Treasury Stock On January 1, 2015, the LBCA became effective. Under provisions of the LBCA, there is no concept of “Treasury Shares.” Rather, shares purchased by the Company constitute authorized but unissued shares. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the cost of shares purchased by the Company, and any applicable excise taxes, within common stock. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the after tax effect of unrealized net gains and losses on securities AFS and the amortization of the unrealized net loss on securities transferred to HTM. Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company has adopted stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock-based awards to key employees, directors, and consultants. The Company accounts for the stock incentive plans in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this guidance, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The restricted stock granted under these plans provides common stock to recipients at the grant date. The restrictions vest in two thousand percent increments on the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company has a Director Compensation Program, which allows directors the option of receiving their board attendance fees in Company stock in lieu of cash. Board compensation expense is recorded when board service is rendered. Advertising Cost Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Income Tax The provision for income tax is based on taxes payable or receivable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The Company has adopted the provisions of accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This interpretation clarifies that the benefit of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return should be recognized in a company’s financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on technical merits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The effect on deferred tax assets of a change in tax rate is recognized in income as part of income tax expense for the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been measured as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, using the 21.0% corporate tax rate. For more information, see “Note 8. Income Tax Expense.” Earnings per Common Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Director Compensation Program, stock options, and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted-average shares used in calculating basic EPS and diluted EPS for the reported periods is provided in “Note 17. Earnings Per Common Share.” Revenue Recognition The Company has identified certain recurring revenue streams related to noninterest income, which are within the scope of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In-scope revenue streams are summarized based on the timing of revenue recognition as follows: • Revenue earned at a point in time - Fee income (including wire transfer, check ordering, and other transactional fees), NSF/OD charges, ATM/Card fee income (including ATM transaction fees and credit and debit card interchange income), and brokerage transaction income. Revenue is recorded as transactions 79

occur or services are provided to customers. The Company is the principal in each of these contracts with the exception of credit and debit card interchange fees, online transaction interchange fees, sweep income, and brokerage services income, in which case the Company is acting as the agent and records revenue net of expenses paid. • Revenue earned over time (generally under a monthly contract) - Debit card agreement, safe deposit box fees, and brokerage agreement income. Revenue is recorded in the period transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer. The Company is the principal in each of these contracts. There are no significant judgments relating to the amount and timing of revenue recognition for revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Due to the nature of the services the Company provides to its customers, it does not incur costs to obtain contracts, and there are no material incremental costs to fulfill these contracts that should be capitalized. Additionally, there are no material contract assets or receivables as the Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers. Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024 ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance issued in this update requires improvement to the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses and other segment items. Although the Company has a single reportable segment, all the disclosures required by this update are required. Under this guidance, public entities are required to disclose segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment that are currently required annually. The goal of these disclosures is to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all previous periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this update provides enhanced transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendment addresses investor requests for income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance requires public business entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. Investors anticipate theses disclosures will provide an understanding of an entity’s exposures to changes in tax legislation and allow investors to better assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, as well as identify opportunities to increase future cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The guidance issued in this update was designed to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example that clarifies when the scope guidance of Topic 718 should be applied, since diversity in practice exists. This ASU does not change existing guidance. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented or prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements. The guidance issued in this update amends the codification to remove references to various FASB Concept Statements.

ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The guidance issued in this update was designed to improve financial reporting by requiring entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively to 80

financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes in presentation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. 2. Securities Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. Total securities were $684.9 million as of December 31, 2024. Securities AFS and Securities HTM Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $550.1 million. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $63.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Securities HTM, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $131.8 million. Investment activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, included $157.3 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls, partially offset by $128.9 million of securities purchased. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no purchases or sales of securities HTM for the same period. 81

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities AFS and securities HTM are summarized in the following tables: December 31, 2024 (in thousands) Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Securities AFS: Mortgage-backed securities $ 334,123 $ 539 $ (27,562) $ 307,100 Municipal bonds 203,394 — (34,551) 168,843 U.S. Treasury securities 10,995 — (63) 10,932 U.S. agency securities 64,881 18 (1,626) 63,273 Total Securities AFS $ 613,393 $ 557 $ (63,802) $ 550,148 Securities HTM: Mortgage-backed securities $ 130,864 $ — $ (22,698) $ 108,166 U.S. agency securities 932 — (108) 824 Total Securities HTM $ 131,796 $ — $ (22,806) $ 108,990 December 31, 2023 (in thousands) Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Securities AFS: Mortgage-backed securities $ 288,793 $ 395 $ (31,228) $ 257,960 Municipal bonds 211,848 13 (27,732) 184,129 U.S. Treasury securities 92,054 — (1,912) 90,142 U.S. agency securities 39,563 5 (1,707) 37,861 Total Securities AFS $ 632,258 $ 413 $ (62,579) $ 570,092 Securities HTM: Mortgage-backed securities $ 140,314 $ — $ (22,098) $ 118,216 U.S. agency securities 922 — (109) 813 Total Securities HTM $ 141,236 $ — $ (22,207) $ 119,029 82

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities AFS and securities HTM as of December 31, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Due to the zero credit loss assumption and evaluation of the considerations applied to the securities AFS, there was no ACL for securities AFS as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Also, as part of the Company’s evaluation of its intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, the Company considers its investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy, and interest rate risk position. Management does not intend to sell these securities prior to recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold them, primarily due to adequate liquidity, until each security has recovered its cost basis. Due to the zero credit loss assumption on the securities HTM portfolio, there was no ACL recorded for securities HTM as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Accrued interest receivable totaled $3.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, for securities AFS and securities HTM and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. 83

Additionally, there were no charge-offs of TDRs in 2022, and there were no TDRs that subsequently defaulted in 2022. Credit Quality Indicators Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows: Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification. Special Mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification. Substandard - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible. Doubtful - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by- case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. Unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $509.6 million and $372.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including 92

commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $11.9 million and $15.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method and established a reserve for unfunded commitments. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk through a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision is recorded in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded commitment balance to obtain the reserve amount. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the reserve on unfunded commitments was $642,000 and $442,000, respectively. The following table summarizes the reserve for unfunded commitments for the periods indicated: As of and for the Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 Reserve for unfunded commitments at beginning of period $ 442 $ — Provision for credit losses(1,2) 200 — Impact of ASC 326 adoption — 442 Reserve for unfunded commitments at end of period $ 642 $ 442 (1) The $1.2 million provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024, includes $1.0 million for loans and $200,000 for unfunded loan commitments. (2) The $735,000 provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2023, is all for loans. 4.

Other Borrowed Funds The Company has established borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Dallas, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility, and other correspondent banks to provide additional sources of operating funds. As of December 31, 2024, total borrowing capacity from these sources was $1.18 billion. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these agreements, and there were no borrowings during these periods. 7. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract and assesses the appropriate classification as operating or financing. Operating leases with terms greater than one year are included in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Agreements with both lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately, with only the lease component capitalized. Operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term using the interest rate implicit in the contract, when available, or the Company’s incremental collateralized borrowing rate with similar terms. As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintained six operating leases on land and buildings for banking center facilities under long-term leases. These operating leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years that expire at various dates through October 31, 2033, with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options are included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. 94

The Company elects to recognize the lease payments on leases with terms of one year or less in its consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, operating lease expenses were $581,000, $643,000, and $628,000, respectively. Operating lease expenses are included as a component of occupancy and equipment expenses within the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases totaled $571,000, $625,000, and $606,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The table below summarizes other information related to the Company’s operating leases as of December 31, 2024 and 2023: December 31, 2024 2023 Weighted average remaining operating lease term 5.51 years 6.70 years Weighted average operating lease discount rate 3.3% 3.3% Future obligations over the primary and renewal option terms of the Company’s long-term operating leases as of December 31, 2024, were as follows: Years Ending December 31, Amount (in thousands) 2025 $ 596 2026 540 2027 483 2028 485 2029 488 Thereafter 625 Total lease payments 3,217 Less: Imputed interest (353) Present value of lease liabilities $ 2,864 8.

Employee Benefits The Company adopted a contributory retirement plan for employees of the Bank effective March 1, 1999, and amended effective January 1, 2022. Beginning April 1, 2022, employees had the opportunity to invest a portion of their plan funds in the Company’s common stock through a unitized fund. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company’s common stock unitized fund was no longer an investment alternative in the plan. The contributory retirement plan covers all employees who meet the length of service and the number of hours worked requirements and elect to participate. Discretionary employer contributions during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, totaled approximately $816,000, $780,000, and $742,000, respectively. The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees. The Bank is the beneficiary of the BOLI policies, which have cash surrender value and death benefit components. The Bank uses a portion of the income generated from the BOLI policies to fund the expenses for nonqualified, noncontributory supplemental executive retirement agreements with certain employees. The supplemental executive retirement agreements provide post- retirement benefit payments to those employees. The liability related to these agreements was $4.1 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. 10. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Equity Incentive Plans On April 17, 2008, the Company adopted its 2008 Plan, which provided for the grant of stock-based awards for key employees and non-employee members of the Company’s board of directors. The 2008 Plan expired on December 31, 2018, and no new awards were granted under this plan after that date. As of December 31, 2020, all granted stock options under the 2008 Plan had been exercised. Effective July 1, 2023, all restricted stock awards had vested or been forfeited and the 2008 Plan was completed. On October 25, 2018, the Company adopted its 2018 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders in April of 2019. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of stock-based awards to key employees, directors, and consultants. The Compensation Committee administers the 2018 Plan, makes determinations with respect to participation, and authorizes stock-based awards under the plan. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for 96

issuance under the 2018 Plan was 200,000 shares. The status of the Company’s 2018 Plan is presented below: 2018 Plan Number of Shares Awards available for issuance- December 31, 2022 173,550 Awards granted (9,300) Awards forfeited 1,850 Awards available for issuance - December 31, 2023 166,100 Awards granted (12,450) Awards forfeited 575 Awards available for issuance - December 31, 2024 154,225 All disclosures for restricted stock shown below relate to outstanding awards under the 2008 and 2018 Plans.

The restrictions vest in twenty percent increments on the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. Compensation expense for these grants is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. During 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 12,450 restricted stock awards with a weighted average fair value of $49.02, and 575 restricted stock awards with a weighted average fair value of $49.22 were forfeited.

The Company’s liability is limited to the aggregate policy deductible of $135,000 per individual with a maximum of approximately $4.5 million for the group. The Company has reflected its estimated liability for known and incurred but not reported claims in the accompanying financial statements. 12. Off-Balance Sheet Contractual Obligations and Contingencies The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. Investment Commitments In 2014, the Company committed to an investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of December 31, 2024, there was a $226,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership. In 2020, the Company committed to an additional investment into an SBIC limited partnership.

Construction Commitment The Company has one committed construction agreement to renovate a banking center, and there was approximately $12,000 remaining on this commitment as of December 31, 2024. Contingencies The Company and the Bank are involved, from time to time, in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims or litigation cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of management, neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. 13. Related Party Transactions In the ordinary course of business, certain officers, directors, and principal shareholders, as well as their immediate family members and their affiliates, maintain a variety of banking relationships with the Company. An analysis of loan activity to these related parties is as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 Loan balance - beginning of period $ 30,058 $ 32,648 New loans 7,044 3,773 Changes in relationships, net (1,029) 690 Repayments (7,516) (7,053) Loan balance - end of period $ 28,557 $ 30,058 98

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, deposits from directors, executive officers, their immediate family members, and their affiliates totaled approximately $75.7 million and $74.6 million, respectively. 14. Fair Value The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair Value Disclosure Securities AFS, loans HFS, and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans, foreclosed assets, and other certain assets. The nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels: • Level 1 pricing represents quotes on the exact financial instrument that is traded in active markets. Quoted prices on actively traded equities, for example, are in this category. • Level 2 pricing is derived from observable data including market spreads, current and projected rates, prepayment data, and credit quality. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 pricing is derived without the use of observable data. In such cases, mark-to-model strategies are typically employed. Often, these types of instruments have no active market, possess unique characteristics, and are thinly traded. The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value: Securities AFS and Equity Securities: The fair values for securities AFS are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Loans HFS: Residential mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. The fair values of mortgage loans HFS are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans HFS are recurring Level 2. Loans HFI: The Company does not record loans HFI at fair value on a recurring basis. Loans for which it was probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are evaluated individually to determine if any credit loss exists. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are collateral dependent, the fair value is estimated by applying a discount factor to the collateral value then deducting the estimated cost to sell. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow method is utilized to determine the fair value. When a loan experiences a credit loss with specific allocated losses determined by the fair value method, the Company considers the collateral dependent loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, foreclosed assets are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market, and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals. 99

Fair Value of Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis The table below presents the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (in thousands) Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 December 31, 2024 Loans HFS $ 2,547 $ — $ 2,547 $ — Securities AFS: Mortgage-backed securities $ 307,100 $ — $ 307,100 $ — Municipal bonds $ 168,843 $ — $ 168,843 $ — U.S. Treasury securities $ 10,932 $ — $ 10,932 $ — U.S. agency securities $ 63,273 $ — $ 63,273 $ — Equity securities $ 2,937 $ 2,937 $ — $ — December 31, 2023 Loans HFS $ 1,306 $ — $ 1,306 $ — Securities AFS: Mortgage-backed securities $ 257,960 $ — $ 257,960 $ — Municipal bonds $ 184,129 $ — $ 184,129 $ — U.S. Treasury securities $ 90,142 $ — $ 90,142 $ — U.S. agency securities $ 37,861 $ — $ 37,861 $ — Equity securities $ 2,965 $ 2,965 $ — $ — There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, or 3 during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain individually evaluated collateral dependent loans reported at fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Prior to foreclosure of these loans, fair value of the collateral is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. The table below presents certain collateral dependent loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through the ACL based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral as of the dates indicated: December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 Carrying value of collateral dependent loans before allowance $ 1,672 $ 633 Specific allowance (658) (100) Fair value of collateral dependent loans $ 1,014 $ 533 The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities: Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include certain foreclosed assets, which are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the ACL upon initial recognition as a foreclosed asset. Subsequent to their initial recognition, certain foreclosed assets are remeasured at fair value through an adjustment included in other noninterest income. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria less estimated selling costs. 100

Regulatory Capital Requirements The Company and the Bank are 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 regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. Basel III Capital Requirements The Company and the Bank are subject to Basel III capital guidelines. Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain certain minimum ratios to meet capital adequacy requirements. It is management’s belief that, as of December 31, 2024, both the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. Management expects that the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed capital adequacy requirements. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2024, the Bank is well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. 102

Bank holding companies that qualify as “small bank holding companies” under the Policy Statement are exempt from the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital adequacy ratios at the holding company level and instead are evaluated at the bank level. In May 2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for the Company, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company no longer receives any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements. As of the June 30, 2024 measurement date, the Company had more than $3.0 billion in assets and remains subject to consolidated capital requirements. Capital amounts and ratios for the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, are presented in the following table (Basel III Minimum includes the capital conservation buffer): Actual Basel III Minimum (dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio December 31, 2024 Total Risk-Based Capital $ 400,813 18.13% $ 232,161 10.50% Tier I Risk-Based Capital $ 378,440 17.12% $ 187,940 8.50% Common Equity Tier I Capital $ 378,440 17.12% $ 154,774 7.00% Tier I Leverage Capital $ 378,440 11.86% $ 127,615 4.00% December 31, 2023 Total Risk-Based Capital $ 384,577 18.28% $ 220,905 10.50% Tier I Risk-Based Capital $ 362,799 17.24% $ 178,828 8.50% Common Equity Tier I Capital $ 362,799 17.24% $ 147,270 7.00% Tier I Leverage Capital $ 362,799 11.56% $ 125,575 4.00% Capital amounts and ratios for the Bank as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, are presented in the following table (Basel III Minimum includes the capital conservation buffer): Regulatory Requirements Actual Basel III Minimum Well-Capitalized(1) (dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio December 31, 2024 Total Risk-Based Capital $ 393,743 17.81% $ 232,092 10.50% $ 221,040 10.00% Tier I Risk-Based Capital $ 371,370 16.80% $ 187,884 8.50% $ 176,832 8.00% Common Equity Tier I Capital $ 371,370 16.80% $ 154,728 7.00% $ 143,676 6.50% Tier I Leverage Capital $ 371,370 11.64% $ 127,582 4.00% $ 159,477 5.00% December 31, 2023 Total Risk-Based Capital $ 378,582 18.00% $ 220,850 10.50% $ 210,333 10.00% Tier I Risk-Based Capital $ 356,804 16.96% $ 178,783 8.50% $ 168,266 8.00% Common Equity Tier I Capital $ 356,804 16.96% $ 147,233 7.00% $ 136,716 6.50% Tier I Leverage Capital $ 356,804 11.37% $ 125,538 4.00% $ 156,923 5.00% (1) This column refers to the prompt corrective action requirements applicable to banks. Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available to the Company and the Bank as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier I leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements. 103

As of December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework. 16. Equity Events Cash Dividends As a Louisiana corporation, the Company is subject to certain restrictions on dividends under the Louisiana Business Corporation Act. Generally, a Louisiana corporation may pay dividends to its shareholders unless, after giving effect to the dividend, either: (1) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business; or (2) the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities and the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the payment of the dividend, to satisfy the preferential rights of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend. The Company’s status as a bank holding company also affects its ability to pay dividends in two additional ways. First, since the Company is a holding company with no material business activities of its own, its ability to pay dividends could become dependent upon the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to it in the form of dividends, loans, and advances. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends and make other distributions and payments to the Company is itself subject to various legal, regulatory, and other restrictions, and the present and future dividend policy of the Bank is subject to the discretion of its board of directors. Second, as a bank holding company, the Company’s payment of dividends must comply with the laws, regulations, and policies of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued a supervisory letter on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve’s view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that: (1) the holding company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of any dividends previously paid during that period, is sufficient to fully fund the dividends; (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention is consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition; and (3) the bank holding company will continue to meet, and is not in danger of failing to meet, minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends on its common stock is restricted by Louisiana Banking Law, the FDIA, and FDIC regulations. In general, the board of directors of a Louisiana state bank may, quarterly, semiannually, or annually, declare or pay dividends on its outstanding capital stock, provided that the bank has surplus at least equal to 50.0% of its capital stock and such surplus will not be reduced below 50.0% following payment of the dividend. Prior approval of the OFI is required for a Louisiana state bank to pay any dividend that would exceed its net profits earned during the current year combined with its retained net profits of the immediately preceding year. In general terms, the FDIA and FDIC regulations restrict the payment of dividends when a bank is undercapitalized, when a bank has failed to pay insurance assessments, or when there are safety and soundness concerns regarding a bank. The Bank and the Company have internal policies regarding dividends. Neither entity would ordinarily pay dividends if following the payment, the entity would not meet minimum capital adequacy plus the CCB requirements. The exception to this policy is in situations where the payment of a dividend from the Bank to the Company is necessary for the Company to be able to meet its obligations, and as long as, after such payment the Bank would still meet minimum capital adequacy requirements. Also, the Company’s internal policy requires that the Company maintain a common stockholders’ equity to total assets ratio of greater than 7.0% and that trust preferred securities are less than 25.0% of capital. Taking into consideration the Company’s performance and capital levels, cash dividends were paid in 2024, 2023, and 2022. Stock Repurchases On December 14, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The 2024 stock repurchase program authorized the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases were made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, and in privately negotiated transactions. On March 13, 2024, the company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $10.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder. On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $3.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s 2024 stock repurchase program. However, in connection with the repurchase, the Company reduced the availability under its 2024 stock repurchase program by $3.0 million. On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. This repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s 2024 stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder. 104

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 17,085 shares of its common stock on the open market at an aggregate cost of $809,000 under the stock repurchase program. The 2024 stock repurchase program expired on December 31, 2024, with $1.1 million of remaining availability. Effective January 1, 2023, stock repurchases are subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. In the fourth quarter of 2024, $213,000 of stock repurchase excise tax was recorded. This tax relates to the Company’s 2023 and 2024 stock repurchases, which regulations require to be recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. On December 19, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the 2024 stock repurchase program that expired on December 31, 2024. The renewed program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. AOCI - Transfer of Unrealized Gain (Loss) of Securities AFS and HTM During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from AFS to HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. At the date of transfer, the net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI and is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. As of December 31, 2024, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $13.0 million, of which $10.3 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI. 17. Earnings Per Common Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Director Compensation Program, stock options, and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive EPS calculation assumes all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the year, and the pro forma proceeds from the exercised options and restricted stock are used to purchase common stock at the average fair market valuation price. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the Company were as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands, except share amounts) 2024 2023 2022 Numerator: Net income - basic $ 34,235 $ 34,879 $ 36,916 Net income - diluted $ 34,235 $ 34,879 $ 36,916 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 6,898,286 7,164,314 7,180,975 Plus: Effect of Director Compensation Program 1,139 741 1,655 Plus: Effect of restricted stock 18,635 16,673 14,823 Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 6,918,060 7,181,728 7,197,453 Earnings per common share: Basic $ 4.96 $ 4.87 $ 5.14 Diluted $ 4.95 $ 4.86 $ 5.13 105

18. Segment Reporting The Company is engaged primarily in providing a fully integrated suite of banking products and services consistently across all of its markets. The Company has identified the Executive Management Committee of the Bank as the Company’s CODM. The Executive Management Committee of the Bank is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Banking Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Credit Policy Officer, General Counsel, and several division heads that report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various banking products, services, and markets, banking operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s banking operations accounting policies are the same as those described in “Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment assets are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in total assets. The CODM uses net income and assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into banking products, services, and markets or into other Company priorities like dividends, share repurchases, or acquisitions. Actual net income and assets are compared to budgeted metrics to assist in operating and financial decisions and future activities. Financial results for the banking operations segment are presented in the table below: As of and for the Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Interest and dividend income $ 137,230 $ 118,568 $ 94,375 Interest expense 47,936 32,130 7,736 Provision for credit losses 1,200 735 1,750 Noninterest income 20,441 21,114 18,747 Depreciation and amortization 3,219 2,746 2,609 Other operating expenses 62,935 61,127 56,046 Income before income tax expense 42,381 42,944 44,981 Income tax expense 8,146 8,065 8,065 Segment net income $ 34,235 $ 34,879 $ 36,916 Adjustments and reconciling items — — — Consolidated net income $ 34,235 $ 34,879 $ 36,916 Total Assets $ 3,149,594 $ 3,128,810 $ 3,082,686 106

Based on the assessment, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, has been audited by EisnerAmper, an independent registered public accounting firm.
