Results benefited from the successful integration and earnings contribution of Northway Financial, Inc., acquired on January 1, 2025, as well as continued growth in core business activities. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income increased 19% to $58.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q2 2026 vs. Q1 2026) Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $52.9 million, an increase of 1% from the first quarter of 2026. Net interest margin expanded 2 basis points on a linked-quarter basis to 3.26% for the second quarter of 2026, driven by lower funding costs. On a non-GAAP basis, core net interest margin increased 5 basis points over the same period to 2.97% for the second quarter of 2026. For the second quarter of 2026, net fair value mark accretion income of $4.0 million was recognized, a decrease of $335,000 from the first quarter of 2026. Provision expense was $710,000 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $553,000 for the first quarter of 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, loans grew 1% while asset quality remained strong, as evidenced by an annualized net charge-offs-to-average-loans ratio of 0.04% for the quarter. Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $14.5 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 21% compared to the first quarter of 2026. Quarter-over-quarter, revenue across all non-interest income categories increased, including deposit customer-related revenue, debit card income, and our wealth and brokerage businesses. As of June 30, 2026, assets under administration across our wealth and brokerage businesses totaled $2.6 billion, an increase of 13% over the same period a year ago. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $37.4 million, a 5% increase compared to the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily driven by annual salary increases and the timing of our annual director equity award grant and recognition event for our top-performing sales team members, both of which occur in the second quarter each year. The Company's GAAP and non‑GAAP efficiency ratios for the second quarter of 2026 were 55.42% and 53.23% compared to 55.50% and 53.21%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; core net interest margin; and tangible book value per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to measure our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions, and to analyze our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons with other financial institutions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this document. ANNUALIZED DATA Certain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period and is presented for illustrative purposes only.
