Notable items that impacted results:

Net Interest Income & Margin

Net Interest Income				Net Interest Margin (NIM)
Up $6.3 million or 3% from prior quarter		Up $9.2 million or 4% from 2Q 2025		Up 7 bps from prior quarter		Up 13 bps from 2Q 2025

Net interest income and margin increased from the prior quarter due to the following factors:

Impact of the growth in NIDDA balances and reduced use of brokered deposits. Deposit pricing continued to improve, contributing to lower funding costs; average cost of deposits declined to 2.05% from 2.12% from the prior quarter.
The tax equivalent yield on investment securities increased reflecting the benefit of securities purchased during the first quarter as periods of market volatility and spread widening created attractive investment opportunities.

Net interest income and margin also increased from the same quarter of the prior year due to the following factors:

Average NIDDA grew by $1 billion while average interest bearing liabilities declined by $1.1 billion.
Partially offset by the decrease of tax equivalent yields on investment securities and loans as variable rate assets repriced faster than continued improvement in funding cost and funding mix dynamics due to lower SOFR/Fed funds basis.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

The following table summarizes non-interest income and non-interest expense for the periods presented (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
		2Q26		1Q26		2Q25
Non-interest income	$	29.2	$	24.7	$	27.8
Non-interest expense	$	174.6	$	167.4	$	164.3

Non-interest income increased from prior quarter, primarily reflecting higher capital markets revenue.
Non-interest income increased compared to a year ago, primarily as a result of increase in deposit service charges and fees.
Non-interest expense increased from prior quarter, after adjusting for the notable items summarized above, due to higher deposit-related costs, a loss associated with a single real estate owned asset disposition of $1.1 million, and elevated operational losses of $1.3 million.
Non-interest expense increased compared to a year ago, primarily due to higher employee compensation and benefits.

Loans

Average CRE loans increased by $147 million, or 2%, from prior quarter and increased by $630 million, or 10%, from a year ago.
Average C&I loans were essentially flat from the prior quarter and from a year ago, largely due to strategic exits.
Average MWL (Mortgage Warehouse Lending) loans up $82 million, or 13% from prior quarter and $115 million, or 19% from a year ago.
Average Residential loan balances declined $174 million, or 3% from the prior quarter and $627 million, or 8% from a year ago; consistent with our balance sheet repositioning strategy.
