For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses primarily reflected an increase in the reserve for pooled loans and the replenishment of the allowance due to charge-offs. Net charge-offs were $833,000 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses and the related change in the allowance for credit losses on loans were mainly driven by loan growth, an increase in the reserve for pooled loans, replenishment of the allowance during the period and, to a lesser extent, an increase in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on pooled loans primarily reflected higher quantitative reserves resulting from the Company’s annual update to its CECL model methodology. This update incorporated more recent economic data and revised segment-specific peer group comparisons, which together contributed to a higher modeled reserve level. To a lesser extent, the increase also reflected a higher forecasted national unemployment rate, a weaker outlook for national gross domestic product, loan growth during the quarter, and changes in the risk level of one qualitative factor. Net charge-offs totaled $948,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $3.2 million had been specifically reserved for at December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated collateral-dependent loans, including nonaccrual loans, modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and accreting purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans that have experienced post-acquisition declines in cash flows expected to be collected, by loan and collateral type as of the dates indicated.

As part of its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) in 2022, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). PEB ceased originating loans under this loan program in 2017. Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower’s contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of 100% of the loss. The participating lender must return recoveries from the borrower, less expenses, to the credit loss reserve account. The funds in the loss reserve account are the property of CalCAP; however, in the event that the participating lender leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the participating lender and provided there are no pending claims for reimbursement, the remaining excess funds are distributed to CalCAP and the participating lender based on their respective contributions to the loss reserve account. Funds contributed by the participating lender to the loss reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP and evaluated for impairment quarterly. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $10.5 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of loans enrolled in this loan program. The Company had a loss reserve account of $7.0 million and $10.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds

the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated loans under this program of $3.3 million and $12.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $3.9 million and $8.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $21.7 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $4.7 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $17.3 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $3.8 million.
