James E. Beckwith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Five Star Bank’s differentiated customer experience and reputation continue to power demand for our services. In the second quarter of 2026, we are pleased that net income increased to $19.4 million, compared to $18.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, and earnings per share increased to $0.91, up $0.04 from the first quarter of 2026 and up $0.23 from the second quarter of 2025. Net interest margin decreased by seven basis points to 3.63%. Total loans held for investment increased by $306.3 million, or 7% (approximately 29% when annualized), and total deposits increased by $330.0 million, or 7% (approximately 30% when annualized). We are also pleased with the continued execution of our strategic plan, including the payment of a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to shareholders. In the second quarter, Five Star Bank was honored to be named the Best Place to Work by the San Francisco Business Times, ranking first overall among participating businesses with 25 to 49 employees in the San Francisco Bay Area. This recognition reflects our purpose-driven culture, which is a meaningful differentiator and an important contributor to our continued performance. I am proud of our team’s accomplishments and look forward to the continued momentum of our organic growth story.”

Financial highlights as of and during the three months ended June 30, 2026 included the following:

•Total deposits increased by $330.0 million, or 7.38%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, with growth in non-wholesale deposits exceeding declines in wholesale deposits. The Company defines wholesale deposits as brokered deposits and California Time Deposit Program deposits. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, non-wholesale deposits increased by $463.1 million, or 11.33%, and wholesale deposits decreased by $133.1 million, or 34.74%.

•The number of Business Development Officers increased from 43 at March 31, 2026 to 45 at June 30, 2026.

•Cash and cash equivalents were $685.1 million, representing 14.27% of total deposits at June 30, 2026, as compared to 14.42% at March 31, 2026.

•Consistent, disciplined management of expenses contributed to our efficiency ratio of 40.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 38.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 41.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

•Net interest margin expanded by 10 basis points year-over-year, increasing from 3.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 3.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, demonstrating the Company's ability to grow its margin even as the effective federal funds rate declined 70 basis points over the same period from 4.33% at June 30, 2025 to 3.63% at June 30, 2026. Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 contracted by seven basis points from 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting that strong quarter-over-quarter growth in net interest income was primarily volume driven, as rapid balance sheet expansion modestly diluted the overall yield on earning assets.

•Other comprehensive income was $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Unrealized losses, net of tax effect, on available-for-sale securities were $9.4 million as of June 30, 2026. Total carrying value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities represented 0.04% and 1.72% of total interest-earning assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2026.

•The Company’s common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.98% and 10.45% as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Bank continues to meet all requirements to be considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.

•The ratio of nonperforming loans to loans held for investment at period end increased from 0.07% at March 31, 2026 to 0.30% at June 30, 2026, due to one Community Reinvestment Act loan that was placed on non-accrual status. The balance of the loan is $11.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and was originally downgraded to substandard in 2025.

•The Company’s Board of Directors declared, and the Company subsequently paid, a cash dividend of $0.25 per share during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company’s Board of Directors declared an additional cash dividend of $0.25 per share on July 16, 2026, which the Company expects to pay on August 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 3, 2026.

Summary Results

Three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to three months ended March 31, 2026 The Company’s net income was $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net interest income increased by $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to an increase in interest income driven by loan growth and higher interest-earning deposits in banks, partially offset by an increase in interest expense driven by deposit growth. The provision for credit losses decreased by $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting lower loss estimates driven by strong loan growth concentrated in pools with relatively lower loss rates. Non-interest income increased by $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to an overall improvement in earnings related to investments in venture-backed funds, partially offset by lower fees from swap referrals, and the absence of a special FHLB stock dividend. Non-interest expense increased by $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a $1.0 million loss contingency release on a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan that benefitted the three months ended March 31, 2026, which did not reoccur during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as well as higher advertising, promotional, data processing, and software expenses tied to continued organizational growth.

Three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2025 The Company’s net income was $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net interest income increased by $9.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in interest income driven by loan growth and higher interest-earning deposits in banks, partially offset by an increase in interest expense driven by deposit growth, though moderated by a decrease in the average cost of deposits. The provision for credit losses decreased by $0.3 million, reflecting lower net charge-offs in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Non-interest income increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting higher loan referral income and fees from swap referrals, as well as an overall improvement in earnings related to investments in venture-backed funds. These increases were partially offset by lower FHLB stock dividends and an intentional reduction in gain on sale of loans. Non-interest expense increased by $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven primarily by increased salaries and employee benefits from increased headcount, along with growth in other operating expenses reflecting continued organizational expansion.

The increase in total assets from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 was primarily comprised of a $444.8 million increase in total loans held for investment and a $178.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. The $444.8 million increase in total loans held for investment between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 was a result of $1.0 billion in loan originations and advances, partially offset by $162.1 million and $421.9 million in loan payoffs and paydowns, respectively. The $444.8 million increase in total loans held for investment included $145.0 million in purchased loans within the consumer section of the loan portfolio. The $178.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily resulted from the net increase in cash inflows from growth in total deposits of $598.3 million and cash outflows from growth in total loans held for investment of $444.8 million.

The increase in total liabilities from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $598.3 million. The increase in deposits was largely due to increases in money market, interest-bearing transaction, and non-interest-bearing deposits of $590.7 million, $156.1 million, and $89.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a $246.6 million decrease in time deposits, mainly attributable to a $215.0 million decline in wholesale deposits.

The increase in total shareholders’ equity from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 was primarily a result of $38.0 million recognized as net income during the period, partially offset by $10.7 million in cash dividends paid during the period and a $0.3 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Net interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $2.6 million, or 6.04%, to $46.1 million, as compared to $43.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net interest margin totaled 3.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of seven basis points compared to the prior quarter, reflecting that strong quarter-over-quarter growth in net interest income was primarily volume driven, as rapid balance sheet expansion modestly diluted the overall yield on earning assets. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to a $5.0 million increase in interest income, mainly due to a $177.9 million, or 4.29%, increase in the average balance of loans and a $164.8 million, or 32.18%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits in banks (deposits placed with other financial institutions to earn interest). The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in interest expense due to a $330.1 million, or 7.64%, increase in the average balance of deposits, combined with a three basis point increase in the average cost of deposits. The average balance of non-interest bearing deposits increased by $41.9 million, or 3.74%, quarter-over-quarter, helping to partially offset the rise in deposit funding costs.

As compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $9.6 million, or 26.20%, to $46.1 million from $36.5 million. Net interest margin totaled 3.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 10 basis points compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The improvement was driven by balance sheet growth and a favorable shift in funding mix, which more than offset pressure from declining federal funds rates over the same period. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to an $11.7 million increase in interest income, mainly due to a $636.7 million, or 17.25%, increase in the average balance of loans and a $315.3 million, or 87.13%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits in banks (deposits placed with other financial institutions to earn interest). This increase in interest income was partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in interest expense, stemming from a $914.3 million, or 24.47%, increase in the average balance of deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2026, moderated by a 30 basis point decrease in average cost of deposits compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Further supporting the decreasing average cost of deposits, the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $207.0 million, or 21.62%, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At June 30, 2026, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $47.3 million, as compared to $44.4 million at December 31, 2025. The $2.9 million increase in the allowance is due to a $4.6 million provision for credit losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by net charge-offs of $1.6 million, primarily attributable to commercial and industrial loans, during the same period.

The Company’s nonperforming loans increased from $3.1 million to $13.4 million between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, increasing the ratio of nonperforming loans to loans held for investment from 0.08% at December 31, 2025 to 0.30% at June 30, 2026. This increase was due to one Community Reinvestment Act loan that was placed on non-accrual status during the period. The balance of the loan is $11.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and it was originally downgraded to substandard in 2025. This was partially offset by improvements across the remainder of the nonperforming loan portfolio. Loans designated as watch increased from $101.9 million to $154.6 million between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Loans designated as special mention increased from $37.5 million to $44.9 million between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Loans designated as substandard decreased from $22.3 million to $20.3 million between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. There were no loans with doubtful risk grades at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

A summary of the allowance for credit losses by loan class is as follows:

Total non-interest income$1,872 $1,643 $229 13.94 %

Loan-related fees. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $0.7 million in fees from swap referrals during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in loan referral income.

FHLB stock dividends. The decrease related primarily to a $0.4 million special cash dividend from the FHLB during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that did not reoccur during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The remainder of the decrease primarily related to the FHLB’s transition to a tier-based dividend structure, which lowered the Bank’s effective dividend rate received.

Other income. The increase related primarily to an overall improvement in earnings related to investments in venture-backed funds during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Gain on sale of loans. The decrease related to an overall decline in the volume of SBA loans sold due to a strategic, intentional reduction in originations of loans held for sale. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, no SBA loans were sold, as compared to approximately $1.6 million of loans sold with an effective yield of 7.60% during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Loan-related fees. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $0.1 million in loan referral income, combined with an increase of $0.1 million in fees from swap referrals during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

FHLB stock dividends. The decrease related primarily to the FHLB’s transition to a tier-based dividend structure, which lowered the Bank’s effective dividend rate received.

Advertising and promotional. The increase related primarily to additional expenses incurred to support the expansion of the Bank’s business development teams, including $0.1 million related to business development expenses and $0.1 million related to donations, sponsorships, and advertising expenses.

Other operating expenses. The increase related primarily to the release of a $1.0 million loss contingency on an SBA loan during the three months ended March 31, 2026. No such release occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to: (i) a $0.4 million increase in employee-related expenses such as travel, conferences, and training; (ii) a $0.1 million increase in administrative charges, including bank charges; and (iii) a $0.1 million increase in operational losses.

Total non-interest expense$19,616 $15,726 $3,890 24.74 %

Salaries and employee benefits. The increase related primarily to: (i) a $2.8 million increase in salaries, benefits, and bonus expense, mainly related to a 13.30% increase in headcount between June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026; and (ii) a $0.7 million increase in commissions primarily due to higher loan originations period-over-period. This increase was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in deferred loan origination costs due to higher loan originations period-over-period.

Occupancy and equipment. The increase was primarily due to expenses for the Walnut Creek branch office and Newport Beach non-depository office during the three months ended June 30, 2026, which did not exist for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Data processing and software. The increase was primarily due to: (i) increased usage of our digital banking platform; (ii) higher transaction volumes related to the increased number of loan and deposit accounts; and (iii) an increased number of licenses required for new users on our loan origination and documentation system.

FDIC insurance. The increase was primarily due to a $916.2 million increase in the assessment base period-over-period.

Loan-related expenses. The decrease related primarily to lower inspection and legal expenses. Although loan originations were higher period-over-period, a greater mix of purchased loans and large credit relationships reduced per-unit inspection costs, and inspection activity was delayed relative to the prior period.

Other operating expenses. The increase related primarily to: (i) a $0.3 million increase in employee-related expenses such as travel and professional association memberships; (ii) a $0.2 million increase in bank charges; (iii) a $0.1 million increase in operational losses; (iv) a $0.1 million increase in IntraFi Network fees resulting from an overall increase in balances carried in the network; and (v) a $0.1 million increase in armored car and courier services.

Provision for Income Taxes

Three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to three months ended March 31, 2026 Provision for income taxes increased by $0.3 million, or 4.37%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was primarily due to an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rates were 25.64% and 25.61% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2025 Provision for income taxes increased by $1.1 million, or 19.66%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in taxable income, partially offset by a $0.2 million benefit recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2026 related to the purchase of transferable tax credits that did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rates were 25.64% and 27.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

The Company uses financial information in its analysis of the Company’s performance that is not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company acknowledges that its non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons.

Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is defined as total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets at the end of each of the periods indicated.

We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share at the end of each of the periods indicated.
