NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Byline Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company," "Byline," "we," "us," "our"), a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its Illinois state chartered subsidiary bank, Byline Bank (the "Bank"), based in Chicago, Illinois.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2025 for potential recognition or disclosure. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the operations of the Company using consolidated information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Refer to Note 21—Segment Information for additional disclosures.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 855, "Subsequent Events," the Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2025, the Company redeemed $75.0 million of the outstanding principal amount of subordinated notes due 2030 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal plus accrued interest of $1.9 million. Refer to Note 13—Subordinated Notes and Junior Subordinated Debentures for additional discussion.
No other subsequent events were identified that would have required a change to the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2—Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted or Issued
The following reflect recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted or are pending adoption by the Company.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) –In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to provide additional transparency into an entity’s income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard requires that public business entities disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items meeting a certain quantitative threshold. The amendments also require that entities disclose on an annual basis: 1) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and 2) the income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions exceeding 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated the disclosure requirements of this update and has concluded it will only impact certain limited annual disclosures with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
Income Statement (Topic 220) – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to address requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expense types. The standard requires that public business entities disclose disaggregated information about specific relevant natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are required to adopt prospectively. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to amend the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance
in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of this update and does not expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Acquisition of a Business
On April 1, 2025 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of First Security Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("First Security"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Security Trust and Savings Bank pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 30, 2024 (the "First Security acquisition"). As a result of the acquisition, effective April 1, 2025, First Security Trust and Savings Bank was merged with and into Byline Bank.
At the effective time of the merger, each share of First Security's common stock was converted into the right to receive 2.3539 shares of Byline common stock. The value of the total merger consideration at closing was approximately $41.5 million.
The transaction resulted in goodwill of $147,000, which is nondeductible for tax purposes, as this acquisition was a nontaxable transaction. Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and reflects related synergies expected from the combined operations.
Merger-related expenses, including salaries and employee benefits of $3.5 million, acquisition advisory expenses of $788,000, core system conversion expenses of $696,000, and other non-interest expenses of $78,000 related to the acquisition are reflected in non-interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There were no merger-related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
There were $408,000 of acquisition advisory expenses and $3,000 of core system conversion expenses included as merger-related expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. All of the fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values become available.
The following table presents a summary of the preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. The Company evaluated the securities which had unrealized losses for potential credit losses and determined there were none. There were 252 securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses at September 30, 2025. There was no allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The evaluation for potential credit losses is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing payment performance of the securities.
Accrued interest receivable on securities totaled $5.2 million at September 30, 2025 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The amounts are excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
The proceeds from all sales and calls of securities available-for-sale, and the associated gains and losses were as follows for the periods presented:

Fair value adjustments for acquired loans are included in total loans and leases. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total loans and leases included the guaranteed amount of U.S. government guaranteed loans of $106.2 million and $97.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the discount on the unguaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans was $25.6 million, which is included in total loans and leases.

Originated loans and leases represent originations excluding loans initially acquired in a business combination. However, once an acquired loan reaches its maturity date, and is re-underwritten and renewed, it is internally classified as an originated loan. PCD loans are those acquired from a business combination with evidence of credit quality deterioration and
are accounted for under ASC Topic 326. Acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases represent loans and leases acquired with an outstanding balance from a business combination without more than insignificant evidence of credit quality deterioration and are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-20. The following tables summarize the balances for each respective loan and lease category as of the dates presented:

Allowance for Credit Losses
Loans and leases considered for inclusion in the allowance for credit losses include acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases, purchased credit deteriorated loans, and originated loans and leases.
The Bank’s credit risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings from 1 to 10, where a higher rating represents higher risk. Risk ratings for all loans of $1.0 million or more are reviewed annually. The risk rating categories are described by the following groupings:
Pass—Ratings 1‑4 define the risk levels of borrowers and guarantors that offer a minimal to an acceptable level of risk.
Watch—A watch asset (rating of 5) has credit exposure that presents higher than average risk and warrants greater than routine attention by Bank personnel due to conditions affecting the borrower, the borrower’s industry or the economic environment.
Special Mention—A special mention asset (rating of 6) has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard Accrual—A substandard accrual asset (rating of 7) has well‑defined weakness or weaknesses in cash flow and collateral coverage resulting in a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This classification may be used in limited cases, where despite credit severity, the borrower is current on payments and there is an agreed plan for credit remediation.
Substandard Non‑Accrual—A substandard asset (rating of 8) has well‑defined weakness or weaknesses in cash flow and collateral coverage resulting in the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful—A doubtful asset (rating of 9) has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss—A loss asset (rating of 10) is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as a realizable asset is not warranted.
Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations and are presented by year of origination. Generally, existing term loans that are re-underwritten are reflected in the table in the year of renewal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were $23.5 million of revolving loans that were converted to term loans. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $67.3 million of revolving loans that were converted to term loans.

The Company decreased the allowance for credit losses - loans and leases by $2.0 million and increased it by $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. During the second quarter of 2025, a $3.2 million adjustment was made to the allowance for credit losses to account for acquired PCD loans, as a result of the First Security acquisition. The Company decreased the allowance for credit losses - loans and leases by $870,000 and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For loans individually evaluated for impairment, the Company decreased the allowance for credit losses - loans and leases by $6.5 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and increased the allowance for credit losses for loans individually evaluated by $1.4 million and recaptured $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment, the allowance for credit losses increased by $4.5 million and $11.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. For loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment, the allowance for credit losses decreased by $2.3 million and decreased by $578,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in the allowance for credit losses - loans and leases was mainly due to the PCD adjustment related to the First Security acquisition, growth in the loan and lease portfolio, and worsening macroeconomic conditions.

Modified loans are either collectively assessed based on portfolio risk segment and risk rating or individually assessed for loans exceeding $500,000. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.
There was $1.7 million and $2.1 million in outstanding commitments on modified loans as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Loan servicing revenue totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Loan servicing revenue totaled $9.2 million and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Loan servicing asset revaluation, which represents the changes in fair value of servicing assets, resulted in a downward valuation adjustment of $1.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a downward valuation adjustment of $4.5 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in secondary market premiums and prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates rise on variable rate loans, loan prepayments increase due to an increase in refinance activity, which may result in an decrease in the fair value of servicing assets. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may change over time. Refer to Note 15—Fair Value Measurement for further details.

The Company includes lease extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. In addition, the Company has elected to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease component. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Leases are classified at the lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.
The following table summarizes the amount and balance sheet line item for our operating lease right-of-use asset and liability as of the dates presented:

The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to calculate the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in a lease is not known. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is based on the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") regular advance rate, adjusted for the lease term and other factors. At September 30, 2025, the weighted average discount rate of operating leases was 3.51% and the weighted average remaining life of operating leases was 4.8 years, compared to 3.19% and 5.0 years as of December 31, 2024.

Operating cash flows paid for operating lease amounts included in the measure of lease liabilities were $899,000 and $950,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating cash flows paid for operating lease amounts included in the measure of lease liabilities were $2.7 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company recorded $33,000 and $687,000 of right-of-use lease assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $2.2 million and $1.8 million of right-of-use lease assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $194,000 of impairment related to two branch facilities that were closed in the of the second quarter of 2024. Impairments were recognized on operating lease right-of-use assets and are reflected in other non-interest expense. There has been no impairment related to leases for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The future minimum lease payments for operating leases, subsequent to September 30, 2025, as recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are summarized as follows:

Note 10—Income Taxes
The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. This effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences and statutory tax rates.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 24.4% and 25.1%, respectively. The Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $1.5 million and $1.3 million related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net deferred tax assets decreased to $49.9 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $56.5 million at December 31, 2024. The net decrease in the total net deferred tax assets was primarily a result of the recognition of tax attributes from the First Security acquisition, offset by decreases in the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
During the second quarter 2024, Illinois House Bill 4951 was enacted, which amends numerous Illinois tax law provisions, including a temporary limitation on Net Loss Deduction ("NLD") usage. For tax years 2024, 2025, and 2026, C Corporations are limited to applying a maximum of $500,000 of NLD to taxable income.
During July 2025, H.R. 1 was signed into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense. The Company has evaluated the impact of this law on future periods and has determined the impact to be immaterial.

Line of credit
Byline Bank has the capacity to borrow funds from the discount window of the Federal Reserve System. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding advances under the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") discount window line. The Company pledges loans and leases as collateral for the FRB discount window borrowing. Refer to Note 5—Loan and Lease Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional discussion.
On January 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the FRB of Chicago that allowed the Bank to access the Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"). On January 22, 2024, the Company opened an advance of $200.0 million from the FRB as part of the BTFP. Under the terms of the BTFP, the Bank pledged securities to FRB Chicago as collateral for available advances. The advance carried a fixed interest rate of 4.91%. Advances under the BTFP were prepayable at any time without a prepayment penalty. On September 19, 2024, we repaid the BTFP advance in full.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had one $250.0 million variable-rate FHLB advance outstanding with an interest rate of 4.29% and maturity in December 2025. We also had one $70.0 million fixed-rate advance with an interest rate of 4.22% and maturity in October 2025. Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans. The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity is limited to 35% of total assets. Required investment in FHLB stock is $4.50 for every $100 in advances thereafter.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent a demand deposit product offered to customers that sweep balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit into overnight repurchase agreements. The Company pledges securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Refer to Note 4—Securities for additional discussion.
On October 13, 2016, we entered into a $30.0 million revolving credit agreement with a correspondent bank. Through subsequent amendments, the revolving credit agreement was reduced to $15.0 million. The amended revolving line of credit bears interest at either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 205 basis points or Prime Rate minus 75 basis points, not to be less than 2.00%, based on the Company’s election, which is required to be communicated at least three business days prior to the commencement of an interest period. If the Company fails to provide timely notification, the interest rate will be Prime Rate minus 75 basis points. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the line of credit had no outstanding balance.
On May 21, 2025, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement with the lender, which is effective May 25, 2025, and provides for: (1) the renewal of the revolving line-of-credit facility of up to $15.0 million, and (2) extending its maturity date to May 24, 2026, subject to the existing Negative Pledge Agreement dated October 11, 2018, as amended.
The variable term loan was paid in full in January 2025, and at September 30, 2025, there was no outstanding balance. At December 31, 2024, the variable term loan had an interest rate of 6.83% and an outstanding balance of $11.7 million.

Note 13—Subordinated Notes and Junior Subordinated Debentures
Subordinated Notes
In 2020, the Company issued $75.0 million in fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of July 1, 2030. The subordinated notes bore a fixed interest rate of 6.00% until July 1, 2025 and a floating interest rate equal to the three-month SOFR, plus 588 basis points thereafter. As of July 1, 2025, the floating rate was 10.17%. The transaction resulted in debt issuance costs of approximately $1.7 million. On August 22, 2025, the Company provided notice of full redemption to the holders of the subordinated notes. On October 1, 2025, the Company redeemed the entire $75.0 million outstanding principal amount of subordinated notes due 2030 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal plus accrued interest of $1.9 million.
In connection with the notice of full redemption, the Company recognized an $843,000 loss on the early debt extinguishment, which is reflected in other non-interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the liability outstanding of the subordinated notes issued in 2020 was $75.0 million.
On August 7, 2025, the Company issued $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that mature on August 15, 2035. The subordinated notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.875% until August 15, 2030 and a floating interest rate equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 322 basis points thereafter until maturity. The Company may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on a quarterly basis beginning on August 15, 2030, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is then required. The transaction resulted in debt issuance costs of $1.0 million that will be amortized over 10 years. As of September 30, 2025, the liability outstanding relating to the subordinated notes issued on August 7, 2025, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $74.0 million.
The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. At September 30, 2025, the subordinated notes issued in 2020 qualified for inclusion at 80% due to phase out rules for subordinated debt with a remaining maturity of five years or less. The subordinated notes issued in 2025 qualify for 100% inclusion in Tier 2 capital.
Junior subordinated debentures
Each of the junior subordinated debentures was issued to an underlying statutory trust (the "Trusts"), which issued trust preferred securities and used the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities to purchase the junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The debentures represent the sole asset of the Trusts. The Trusts are not consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company reports the subordinated debentures held by the Trusts as liabilities. The Company owns all of the common securities of each trust and pays interest on each quarterly. The junior subordinated debentures qualify, and are treated as, Tier 1 regulatory capital of the Company subject to regulatory limitations. The trust preferred securities issued by each trust rank equally with the common securities in right of payment, except that if an event of default under the indenture governing the notes has occurred and is continuing, the preferred securities will rank senior to the common securities in right of payment.
As of the dates presented, the Company’s junior subordinated debentures by issuance were as follows:

Note 14—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Legal contingencies—In the ordinary course of business, the Company and Bank have various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company may be a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is currently not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating lease commitments—Refer to Note 8—Leases for discussion of operating lease commitments.
Commitments to extend credit—The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for funded instruments. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and letters of credit. Refer to Note 5—Loans and Lease Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional discussion on the reserve for unfunded commitments.
The following table summarizes the contract or notional amount of outstanding loan and lease commitments at the dates presented:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does 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 deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral is primarily obtained in the form of commercial and residential real estate (including income producing commercial properties).
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, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.69% to 15.00% and maturities up to 2047. Variable rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 3.50% to 17.75% and maturities up to 2053.
Note 15—Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In addition, the Company has the ability to obtain fair values for markets that are not accessible.
These types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs may be adjusted for market considerations when reasonably available.
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to assets and liabilities.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for certain assets measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis:
Securities available-for-sale—The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. Management reviews the procedures used by the third party, including significant inputs used in the fair value calculations. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. When market quotes are not readily accessible or available, alternative approaches are utilized, such as matrix or model pricing.
The Company’s methodology for pricing non-rated bonds focuses on three distinct inputs: equivalent rating, yield and other pricing terms. To determine the rating for a given non-rated municipal bond, the Company references a publicly issued bond by the same issuer if available as well as other additional key metrics to support the credit worthiness. Typically, pricing for these types of bonds would require a higher yield than a similar rated bond from the same issuer. A reduction in price is applied to the rating obtained from the comparable bond, as the Company believes if liquidated, a non-rated bond would be valued less than a similar bond with a verifiable rating. The reduction applied by the Company is one notch lower (i.e. a "AA" rating for a comparable bond would be reduced to "AA-" for the Company’s valuation). In 2025 and 2024, all of the ratings derived by the Company were "BBB-" or better with and without comparable bond proxies. All of the ratings of non-Agency backed bonds derived by the Company were investment grade. The fair value measurement of municipal bonds is sensitive to the rating input, as a higher rating typically results in an increased valuation. The remaining pricing inputs used in the bond valuation are observable. Based on the rating determined, the Company obtains a corresponding current market yield curve available to market participants. Other terms including coupon, maturity date, redemption price, number of coupon payments per year, and accrual method are obtained from the individual bond term sheets.
Equity and other securities—The Company utilizes the same fair value measurement methodology for equity and other securities as detailed in the securities available-for-sale portfolio above. The fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is measured on the basis of the market price of similar unrestricted equity securities. The fair value is only adjusted for the effect of the restrictions when the restriction of the sale is a characteristic of the equity itself and not based on the holder of the security.
Servicing assets—Fair value is based on a loan-by-loan basis taking into consideration the original term to maturity, the current age of the loan and the remaining term to maturity. The valuation methodology utilized for the servicing assets begins with generating estimated future cash flows for each servicing asset, based on their unique characteristics and market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds and costs to service. The present value of the future cash flows are then calculated utilizing market-based discount rate assumptions.
Derivative instruments—Interest rate derivatives are valued by a third party, using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as yield curves, and are validated by comparison with valuations provided by the respective counterparties. Derivative financial instruments are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for certain assets measured and carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
Individually evaluated loans—The Company individually evaluates loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, including non-accrual loans. Specific allowance for credit losses is measured based on a discounted cash flow of ongoing operations, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, or a calculation of the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs. Valuations of individually assessed loans that are collateral dependent are supported by third party appraisals in accordance with the Bank's credit policy. Accordingly, individually evaluated loans are classified as Level 3.
Assets held for sale—Assets held for sale consist of former branch locations and real estate previously purchased for expansion. Assets are considered held for sale when management has approved to sell the assets following a branch closure or other events. The properties are being actively marketed and transferred to assets held for sale based on the lower of carrying value or its fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The Company records assets held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued interest receivable and other assets.
Other real estate owned—Certain assets held within other real estate owned represent real estate or other collateral that has been adjusted to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell, as a result of transferring from the loan portfolio at the time of foreclosure or repossession and based on management’s periodic impairment evaluation. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments to other real estate owned are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on an observable market price or current appraised value of property.
Adjustments to fair value based on such non-recurring transactions generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following tables summarize the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as of the dates presented:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of other assets and liabilities for disclosure purposes:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest bearing deposits with other banks—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities held-to-maturity—The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. Management reviews the procedures used by the third party, including significant inputs used in the fair value calculations. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. When market quotes are not readily accessible or available, alternative approaches are utilized, such as matrix or model pricing.
Restricted stock—The fair value has been determined to approximate cost.
Loans held for sale—The fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, and determined by discounted estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
Loan and lease receivables, net—For certain variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value is estimated at carrying value. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated using an exit price notion. It is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances—The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the agreements based on maturities using rates currently offered for FHLB advances of similar remaining maturities adjusted for prepayment penalties that would be incurred if the borrowings were paid off on the measurement date.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase—The carrying amount approximates fair value due to maturities of less than ninety days.
Term Loan—The carrying amount approximates fair value given the variable interest rate and repricing of interest.
Subordinated notes—The fair value is based on available market prices.
Junior subordinated debentures—The fair value of junior subordinated debentures, in the form of trust preferred securities, is determined using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Accrued interest receivable and payable—The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit—The fair values of these off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit and commercial and letters of credit are not considered practicable to estimate because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value and levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Note 16—Derivative Instruments and Hedge Activities
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. The Company records derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities, respectively. The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and classification on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of the dates presented:

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges—Cash flow hedges of interest payments associated with certain financial instruments had notional amounts totaling $650.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the cash flow hedges aggregating $650.0 million in notional amounts are comprised of $400.0 million pay-fixed interest rate swaps associated with certain deposits and other borrowings, and $250.0 million receive-fixed interest rate swaps associated with certain variable rate loans.
The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value of the derivatives hedging instrument with the fair value of the designated hedged transactions. As of September 30, 2025, pay-fixed interest rate swaps are comprised of five effective hedges. The receive-fixed interest rate swaps are comprised of four effective hedges with notional amounts comprised of $200.0 million. A $50.0 million forward starting receive-fixed interest rate swap associated with certain variable rate loans will become effective in March 2026.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest income or expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made on the hedged instruments. Interest recorded on these swap transactions included $3.5 million and $4.6 million of interest income recorded for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and is reported as a component of interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. Interest recorded on these swap transactions included $10.7 million and $14.2 million of interest income recorded during nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is reported as a component of interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, the Company estimates $10.7 million of the net unrealized gain to be reclassified as a net decrease to interest expense during the next twelve months.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) also includes the amortization of the remaining balance related to terminated interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, which are over the original life of the cash flow hedge. In March 2023, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges totaling $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million became effective in May 2023 and $50.0 million became effective in June 2023. The transaction resulted in a gain of $4.2 million, net of tax, which was the clean value at termination date and began amortizing as a decrease to interest expense on the effective dates. The remaining unamortized balance was $2.2 million and $2.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Receive rates are determined at the time the swaps become effective. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted average pay rates of the five effective pay-fixed hedges for $400.0 million were 1.07% and the weighted average receive rates were 4.26%. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted average pay rates of the receive-fixed interest rate swaps of $200.0 million were 7.39% and the weighted average receive rates were 7.30%.

Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges—A fair value hedge associated with certain fixed-rate investment securities had notional amounts totaling $100.0 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value of the derivatives hedging instrument with the fair value of the designated hedged securities.
The following table reflects the fair value hedge as of September 30, 2025:
At September 30, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of available-for-sale securities assigned in this hedging relationship was $612.7 million, and included a cumulative basis adjustment associated with this hedging relationship of $140,000. This represents the amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying amounts of fixed-rate investment securities designated in fair value hedging arrangement. There were no interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges at December 31, 2024.
Other interest rate derivatives—Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements and/or the Company has not elected to apply hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings.
The total combined notional amount was $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2025 with maturities ranging from December 2025 to March 2033. The fair values of the interest rate derivative agreements are reflected in other assets and other liabilities with corresponding gains or losses reflected in non-interest income. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were $360,000 and $811,000 of net transaction fees, included in other non-interest income, related to these derivative instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were $1.9 million and $925,000 of net transaction fees, included in other non-interest income, related to these derivative instruments.

These instruments are inherently subject to market risk and credit risk. Market risk is associated with changes in interest rates and credit risk relates to the Company’s risk of loss when the counterparty to a derivative contract fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Market and credit risks are managed and monitored as part of the Company’s overall asset-liability management process. The credit risk related to derivatives entered into with certain qualified borrowers is managed through the Company’s loan underwriting process. The Company’s loan underwriting process also approves the Bank’s swap counterparty used to mirror the borrowers’ swap. The Company has a bilateral agreement with each swap counterparty that provides that fluctuations in derivative values are to be fully collateralized with either cash or securities.

Other derivatives—The Company has entered into risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to assume a portion of the credit risk related to borrower transactions. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional amount of risk participated in was $9.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively, and the notional amount of risk participated out was $6.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The credit risk related to these other derivatives is managed through the Company’s loan underwriting process. Additionally, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts to manage foreign exchange risk associated with certain customer foreign currency transactions. These transactions were not material to the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair values of the credit derivatives is reflected in accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities with corresponding gains or losses reflected in non-interest income or other comprehensive income.
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a cross-default provision under which if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations resulted in a net asset position.

As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $14.1 million. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value less offsetting positions of $4.8 million. For purposes of this disclosure, the amount of posted collateral by the Company and counterparties is limited to the amount offsetting the derivative asset and derivative liability.
Note 17 – Share-Based Compensation
In June 2017, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and the Company's stockholder approved, the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"). The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based, equity-related or cash-based awards. A total of 2,600,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2025, there were 483,299 shares available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan.
The Company primarily grants time-based restricted share awards that vest over a one to four year period, subject to continued employment. The Company also grants performance-based restricted share awards. The number of shares which may be earned under the award is dependent upon the Company’s return on average assets, weighted equally over a three-year period and measured against a peer group consisting of publicly-traded bank holding companies. Results will be measured cumulatively at the end of the three years. Any earned shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.
During 2025, the Company granted 329,702 shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of this total, 243,818 restricted shares will vest ratably over three years on each anniversary of the grant date, 6,678 restricted shares will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and 10,240 restricted shares will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date all subject to continued employment. In addition, 68,966 performance-based restricted shares were included in the 2025 grant. The number of performance-based shares which may be earned under the award is dependent upon the Company’s total stockholder return and return on average assets, weighted equally, over a three-year period ending December 31, 2027, measured against the KBW Regional Bank Index. Results will be measured cumulatively at the end of the three years and any earned shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

A total of 334,184 restricted shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. A total of 244,548 restricted shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value of restricted shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $9.6 million. The fair value of restricted shares that vested during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $5.2 million.
The Company recognizes share-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the restricted stock at the grant date. Share-based compensation expense is included in non-interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the total stock return performance-based awards granted in 2025 and 2024 were calculated based on a Monte Carlo simulation, using the following assumptions:

In October 2014, the Company adopted the Byline Bancorp, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan ("BYB Plan"). The maximum number of shares available for grants under this plan was 2,476,122 shares. The Company granted 1,846,968 options to purchase shares under this plan. In June 2017, the Board of Directors terminated the BYB Plan and no future grants can be made under this plan.
The types of stock options granted under the BYB Plan were Time Options and Performance Options. The exercise price of each option was equal to the fair value of the stock as of the date of grant. These option awards had vesting periods ranging from one to five years and have 10-year contractual terms. Stock volatility was computed as the average of the volatilities of peer group companies. All outstanding stock options were fully vested and exercised at September 30, 2025.
The fair values of the stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model for Time Options and a Monte Carlo simulation model for Performance Options.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with First Evanston and its subsidiaries, dated as of November 27, 2017 (the "First Evanston Merger Agreement"), each outstanding First Evanston option held by a participant in the First Evanston Bancorp, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "FEB Plan") ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of First Evanston common stock and was assumed and converted automatically into a fully vested and exercisable adjusted option to purchase shares of Byline common stock (each an "Adjusted Option"). In accordance with the First Evanston Merger Agreement, the number of shares of Byline common stock to which each such Adjusted Option relates is equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Byline common stock) of: (a) the number of shares of First Evanston common stock subject to the First Evanston option immediately prior to May 31, 2018, multiplied by (b) 4.725. Each Adjusted Option has an exercise price per share of Byline common stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of (x) the per share exercise price of such First Evanston option immediately prior to May 31, 2018, divided by (y) 4.725. The description of the conversion process is based on, and qualified by, the First Evanston Merger Agreement.

A summary of the Company’s preferred and common stock at the dates presented is as follows:
Common stock, voting
On December 6, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The program was in effect from January 1, 2024 until December 31, 2024. No shares were repurchased under this program.
On December 5, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The program is in effect from January 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025, unless terminated earlier. The shares may, at the discretion of management, be repurchased from time to time in open market purchases as market conditions warrant or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and share price of shares purchased under the repurchase program will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements. The shares authorized to be repurchased represented approximately 2.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at December 31, 2024.
We purchased 7,424 and 577,023 shares under the stock repurchase program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, with costs of $193,000 and $14.0 million, respectively. We did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
On April 1, 2025 we issued 1,586,542 shares of our common stock in connection with the First Security acquisition. Please see Note 3—Acquisition of a Business for additional discussion.
On June 12, 2025, the Estate of Daniel L. Goodwin (the "Estate") and Equity Shares Investors, LLC, an affiliate of the Estate (the "Selling Stockholders"), completed their sale of 4,282,210 shares (the "Shares") of our common stock in a registered public offering (the "Offering") pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that became automatically effective upon filing on June 10, 2025. The Shares were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated June 10, 2025 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sole underwriter for the Offering (the "Underwriter").
The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, the Company purchased 418,235 of the Shares from the Underwriter (the "Stock Repurchase") at a price per share of $23.91, which was equal to the price per share paid by the Underwriter to the Selling Stockholders in the Offering. The Stock Repurchase was executed under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program authorized on January 1, 2025. Certain of the Company’s directors purchased an aggregate of $1.3 million of the Shares in the Offering at the public offering price and on the same terms as the other purchasers in the Offering.
Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury shares on the trade date using the treasury stock method, and the cash paid is recorded as treasury stock. Treasury stock acquired is recorded at cost and is carried as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 21—Segment Information
The Company has one reportable segment: banking operations. Loans and leases, securities, deposits, and non-interest income provide the revenues of the banking operation. Loan and lease products offered to customers generate a majority of the Company’s interest and fee income. Additionally, deposit products offered to customers generate fees and service charge income. Interest income earned on securities, and net gains on the sales of loans to third parties are other sources of revenue. Interest expense, provision for credit losses, salaries and employee benefits, and data processing provide the significant expenses in banking operations. These significant expenses are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Noncash items such as depreciation and amortization are also disclosed in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and the President. The chief operating decision makers are provided with consolidated balance sheets, income statements, and net interest margin analyses in order to evaluate revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget-to-actual results in assessing the Company’s segment and determining the allocation of resources. Additionally, the chief operating decision makers review performance of various components of banking operations, such as loan portfolio types, funding sources, and overhead, to assess product pricing and significant expenses and to evaluate return on assets. The chief operating decision makers use consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring budget-to-actual results are used in assessing performance and in establishing compensation.
The accounting policies of the banking operations are the same as those described in Note 1–Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Additional information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which we filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. All operations are domestic.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion and analysis of Byline Bancorp, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The words "the Company," "we," "Byline," "management," "our" and "us" refer to Byline Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors". Byline assumes no obligation to update any of these forward looking statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this report and in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that are not historical facts may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, predictions, forecasts, objectives or assumptions of future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "opportunity," "should," "will," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "seeks," "intends" and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual strategies, actions or results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements, and are not guarantees of future results or other events or performance. Because forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future strategies, actions or results, based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates on the date hereof, and there can be no assurance that actual strategies, actions or results will not differ materially from expectations, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of future plans, strategies or events is inherently uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results or conditions to differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements include:
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should also consider the risks, assumptions and uncertainties set forth in the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025, as well as those set forth in the reports we file with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information, future events or otherwise unless required under the federal securities laws.
Overview
Our Business
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and conduct all our business activities through our subsidiary, Byline Bank, a full service commercial bank, and Byline Bank’s subsidiaries. Through Byline Bank, we offer a broad range of banking products and services to small and medium sized businesses, commercial real estate and financial sponsors and to consumers who generally live or work near our branches. We also offer online account opening to consumer and business customers through our website and provide trust and wealth management services to our customers. In addition to our traditional commercial banking business, we provide small ticket equipment leasing solutions through Byline Financial Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Byline Bank, headquartered in Bannockburn, Illinois, with sales offices in Illinois, and sales representatives in Illinois and New York. We participate in U.S. government guaranteed lending programs and originate U.S. government guaranteed loans. Byline Bank is a leading originator of SBA loans and was the most active 7(a) lender in Illinois for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans and lease receivables, including accretion income on loans, investment securities and other short-term investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent upon our generation of non-interest income, consisting primarily of income from fees and service charges on deposits, loan servicing revenue, wealth management and trust income, ATM and interchange fees, and net gains on sales of investment securities and loans. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provision for credit losses, provision for income taxes, and non-interest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, and other miscellaneous operating costs.
First Security Bancorp, Inc. Acquisition
On April 1, 2025, we completed our acquisition (the "First Security acquisition") of First Security Bancorp, Inc. ("First Security") under the terms of a definitive merger agreement. As a result of the merger, First Security's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, First Security Trust and Savings Bank, was merged with and into Byline Bank. Refer to Note 3—Acquisition of a Business for additional discussion.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial statements and interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates, assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. As this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in the financial statements. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.
These critical accounting policies and estimates include (i) determination of the allowance for credit losses, (ii) the valuation of intangible assets such as goodwill, and assessment of impairment, (iii) fair value estimations, and (iv) the determination and assessment of impairment for other intangible assets.
49
The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that require us to make complex and subjective judgments. Additional information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which we filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
Allowance for credit losses
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") represents management’s estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of a financial asset carried at amortized cost at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of collectively and individually evaluated loss reserves.
The ACL is maintained at a level that management believes is appropriate to provide for current expected credit losses as of the dates of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and we have established methodologies for the determination of its adequacy. The methodologies are set forth in a formal policy and take into consideration relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We increase our ACL by recording provisions for current expected credit losses against our income and decrease by charge‑offs, net of recoveries.
The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, changes in economic or other conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future periods.
For each portfolio, management estimates expected credit losses over the life of each loan and lease utilizing lifetime or cumulative loss rate methodology. The lifetime loss rates are estimated by analyzing a combination of internal and external data related to historical performance of each loan and lease pool over a complete economic cycle. Loss rates are based on historical averages for each loan and lease pool, adjusted to reflect the impact of a forward-looking forecast of certain macroeconomic variables, primarily unemployment rates, which management considers to be both reasonable and supportable. Various economic scenarios are considered and weighted to arrive at the forecast that most reflects management’s expectation of future conditions. After a one-year forecast period, a one-year reversion period adjusts loss experience to the historical average on a straight-line basis.
Management also considers qualitative risk factor adjustments that are intended to capture internal and external trends not reflected in historical loss history. Each risk factor is assigned an allowance level based on management’s judgment as to the expected impact of each risk factor on each loan and lease portfolio and is monitored quarterly. All loans and leases of $500,000 or greater with an internal risk rating of substandard or below, or on nonaccrual status, are individually evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for unfunded loan commitments. 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 based on management’s consideration of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Management tracks the level and trends in unused commitments and takes into consideration the same factors as those considered for purposes of the allowance for credit losses on outstanding loans.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with our recapitalization and acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment under the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350").
Impairment testing is performed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach at the reporting unit level. Our goodwill is allocated to Byline Bank, which is our only applicable reporting unit for the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. We have selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment test. Additionally, we perform a goodwill impairment evaluation on an interim basis when events or circumstances indicate impairment potentially exists.
Other intangible assets primarily consist of core deposit intangible assets and customer relationship intangible. In valuing intangible assets, we consider variables such as servicing costs, attrition rates and market discount rates. Intangible assets are reviewed annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the recoverable amount of the intangible asset is determined to be less than its carrying value, we would then measure the amount of impairment based on an estimate of the fair value at that time. We also evaluate whether the events or circumstances have occurred that warrant a revision to the remaining useful lives of intangible assets. In cases where a revision is deemed appropriate, the remaining carrying amounts of the intangible assets are amortized over the revised remaining useful life. Core deposit intangibles are currently amortized over an approximate ten-year period and customer intangibles are amortized over a twelve-year period.
Fair value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and parameters are not available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we would use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement.
See Note 15 of our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2025, included in this report, for a complete discussion of our use of fair value of financial assets and liabilities and their related measurement practices.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 of our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2025, which is included in this report, for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the effective dates of adoption and anticipated effects on our results of operations and financial condition.
Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Business
As a financial institution, we manage and evaluate various aspects of both our results of operations and our financial condition. We evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our consolidated financial statements as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against our own historical performance, our budgeted performance, and the final condition and performance of comparable financial institutions in our region. Comparison of our financial performance against other financial institutions is impacted by the accounting for acquired non‑credit-deteriorated and purchased credit deteriorated loans.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans and lease receivables, including accretion income on loans, investment securities and other short-term investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent upon our generation of non-interest income, consisting primarily of income from fees and service charges on deposits, loan servicing revenue, wealth management and trust income, ATM and interchange fees, and net gains on sales of investment securities and loans. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for credit losses, provision for income taxes, and non-interest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, and other miscellaneous operating costs.

We reported consolidated net income of $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net income of $30.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $6.9 million. The increase in net income was attributable to a $12.4 million increase in net interest income, a $2.2 million decrease in provision for credit losses, and a $1.5 million increase in non-interest income, offset by a $6.2 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $3.0 million increase to the provision for income taxes. Net income was $0.82 per basic and per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.70 and $0.69 per basic common share and per diluted common share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The increase in net interest income was mainly a result of lower rates paid on deposits. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to an increase in net gains on sales of loans due to higher volume. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to higher incentive expense and increased health insurance in salaries and employee benefits.
Our annualized return on average assets was 1.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 1.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 12.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 11.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our efficiency ratio was 51.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 52.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our adjusted efficiency ratio was 50.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 51.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
We reported consolidated net income of $95.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net income of $90.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $5.1 million. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $24.5 million increase in net interest income, and a $2.5 million increase in non-interest income, offset by an increase of $15.2 million in non-interest expense, and an increase of $6.2 million in provision for credit losses. Net income was $2.14 per basic and $2.12 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.08 per basic and $2.07 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The increase in net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 mainly a result of decrease in costs of total interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of increased swap income. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits mainly related to the First Security acquisition and increased incentive compensation. The increase in provision for credit losses was mainly due to growth in the loan and lease portfolios and weakening macroeconomic conditions.
Our annualized return on average assets was 1.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 1.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 10.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 11.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our efficiency ratio was 52.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 52.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our adjusted efficiency ratio was 50.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 51.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, representing interest income less interest expense, is a significant contributor to our revenues and earnings. We generate interest income from interest and dividends on interest-earning assets, which include loans, leases and investment securities we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which include interest-bearing deposits, subordinated debt, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (iii) our net interest spread, and (iv) our net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Because non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as non-interest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these non-interest-bearing sources.
We also recognize income from the accretable discounts associated with the purchase of interest-earning assets. Because of our recapitalization and acquisitions, we derive a portion of our interest income from the accretable discounts on purchase credit deteriorated and acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans. The accretion is generally recognized over the life of the loan. This accretion will continue to have an impact on our net interest income as long as loans acquired with a discount at acquisition represent a meaningful portion of our interest-earning assets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, purchased credit deteriorated loans accounted for under ASC Topic 326 represented 1.6% and 1.8% of our total loan and lease portfolio, respectively.
Changes in the market interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. In addition, our interest income includes the accretion of the discounts on our acquired loans, which will also affect our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income.
The following tables present, for the periods indicated, information about (i) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis (dollars in thousands).

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 sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis. The table below is a summary of increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates (dollars in thousands):

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $99.9 million compared to $87.5 million during the same period in 2024, an increase of $12.4 million, or 14.2%. Interest income increased $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily a result of growth in the loan and lease portfolio. Interest expense decreased by $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 mostly due to lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, primarily time deposits.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $284.1 million compared to $259.5 million during the same period in 2024, an increase of $24.5 million, or 9.5%. Interest income increased $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily from growth in the loan and lease portfolio, offset by lower yields on loans and leases. Interest
expense decreased by $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 mostly due lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, primarily time deposits.
The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 4.27%, an increase of 39 basis points compared to 3.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to lower rates paid on time deposits, offset by lower yields on interest bearing cash. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 4.18%, an increase of 23 basis points compared to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to lower rates paid on time deposits, offset by lower yields on loans and interest bearing cash.
Net loan accretion income was $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $454,000 mainly due to acquired loans converting to originated. Total net loan accretion on acquired loans contributed 11 basis points to the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 13 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Net loan accretion income was $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.8 million due to acquired loans converting to originated and charge-offs of PCD loans. Total net loan accretion on acquired loans contributed 12 basis points to the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 17 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Assuming no additional acquisitions, we expect loan accretion income to decline over time. Based on our portfolio, the estimated projected accretion income for the remaining periods as of September 30, 2025 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1) Estimated projected accretion excludes contractual interest income on acquired loans and leases.
(2) Projections are undated quarterly, assume no prepayments, and are subject to change.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses reflects the amount required to maintain the ACL at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of collectively and individually evaluated loss reserves. The provision for credit losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s evaluation, is appropriate to provide coverage for current expected credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The ACL is increased by the provision for credit losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior charge-offs.
The provision for credit losses was $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.2 million and is comprised of a provision for credit losses - loans and leases and a provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments. Provision for credit losses - loans and leases was $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million. The provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments was a provision of $201,000 and a recapture of $122,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The provision for credit losses was $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $6.2 million. Provision for credit losses - loans and leases was $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $4.5 million. On April 1, 2025, a provision for credit losses of $864,000 was recorded on acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans related to the First Security acquisition. The provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments reflects a provision of $470,000 and a recapture of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fees and service charges on deposits represent amounts charged to customers for banking services, such as fees on deposit accounts, and include, but are not limited to, maintenance fees, insufficient fund fees, overdraft protection fees, wire transfer fees, and other charges. Fees and service charges on deposits were $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fees and service charges on deposits were $8.1 million and $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily due to increases in deposit balances.
While portions of the loans that we originate are sold and generate gains on sale revenue, servicing rights for the majority of loans that we sell are retained by us. In exchange for continuing to service loans that have been sold, we receive servicing revenue from a portion of the interest cash flow of the loan. We generated $3.1 million and $3.2 million in loan servicing revenue on the sold portion of the U.S. government guaranteed loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We generated $9.2 million and $9.8 million in loan servicing revenue on the sold portion of the U.S. government guaranteed loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in revenue in each period is due to higher prepayments. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding balance of guaranteed loans serviced was $1.7 billion.
Loan servicing asset revaluation represents net changes in the fair value of our servicing assets. Loan servicing asset revaluation had a downward adjustment of $1.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a change of $889,000. Loan servicing asset revaluation had a downward adjustment of $4.5 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a change of $859,000. Change in the revaluations was mainly due to a changes in prepayment speeds.
ATM and interchange fees were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $128,000 or 11.1%, mainly due to lower ATM fees. ATM and interchange fees were $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $273,000 or 8.1%, primarily from decreases in ATM fees and interchange fees.
Net gains on sales of loans were $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million or 19.0%, driven mainly by higher volume. We sold $92.9 million of U.S. government guaranteed loans during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $79.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net gains on sales of loans were $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $100,000 or 0.6%, mainly due to a decrease in premiums. We sold $236.1 million of U.S. government guaranteed loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $225.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As a result of the U.S. government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, the uncertainty surrounding our government guaranteed lending business may negatively impact our net gain on sales of loans. When the U.S. government reopens, we anticipate sales and related settlements will return to more normalized activity.
Wealth management and trust income represents fees charged to customers for investment, trust, or wealth management services and are primarily determined by total assets under administration. Wealth management and trust income was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $265,000 or 24.1%. Wealth management and trust income was $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $322,000 or 10.1%. The increases were primarily driven by higher fees. Assets under administration were $807.2 million and $747.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other non-interest income was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, a decrease of $16,000 or 0.7%. Other non-interest income was $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.6 million or 25.2%. The increase was primarily driven by increased swap fee income and income associated with bank owned life insurance.

Salaries and employee benefits, the single largest component of our non-interest expense, totaled $37.5 million and $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $2.5 million, or 7.2%. The increase was mainly due to higher incentive compensation and higher employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits, totaled $111.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $102.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $8.7 million, or 8.5%. The increase was primarily a result of merger-related expenses and higher incentive compensation.
Loan and lease related expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $703,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $571,000, or 81.3%.

The increases were primarily driven by higher government guaranteed loan expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance expenses.
Legal, audit, and other professional fees were $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $233,000 or 6.4%. The increase was primarily driven by increased outside service fees. Legal, audit, and other professional fees were $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million or 18.9%. The increase was principally driven by increased outside service fees, merger-related expenses, and fees and expenses related to the secondary public offering of our common stock.
Data processing was $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $688,000 or 16.3%. The increase was primarily driven by software licensing and maintenance expenses. Data processing was $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.7 million or 21.5%. The increase was driven by increased software licensing and maintenance expenses and merger-related expenses.
Other non-interest expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million or 26.6%. The increase was primarily driven by the loss on extinguishment of subordinated debt.

Our efficiency ratio was 51.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 52.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our adjusted efficiency ratio was 50.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 51.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The change in our efficiency ratio was mainly driven by increases to net interest income. Our efficiency ratio was 52.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 52.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change in our efficiency ratio was driven by higher non-interest expense.

Please refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $12.7 million compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.0 million, or 31.0%. The increase in income tax expense was principally due to an increase in net income before provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate was 25.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 24.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $30.8 million compared to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $513,000 or 1.7%. The increase in income tax expense was principally due to an
increase in net income before provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate was 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 25.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We expect our effective tax rate for 2025 to be approximately 25-27%.
Financial Condition
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition Analysis
Our total assets increased by $315.8 million, or 3.3%, to $9.8 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to $9.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $533.9 million in loans and leases, or 7.7%, from $6.9 billion at December 31, 2024 to $7.4 billion at September 30, 2025, and an increase in securities available for sale of $96.5 million, or 6.8%. Our originated loan and lease portfolio increased by $513.6 million and our purchased credit deteriorated loans and acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases portfolio increased by $20.3 million. The increase in our originated portfolio was primarily attributed to the growth in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios. The increase in our purchased credit deteriorated loans and acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases portfolio was attributed to the acquisition of First Security.
Total liabilities increased by $169.7 million, or 2.0%, to $8.6 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to $8.4 billion at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased by $369.6 million, or 5.0%, driven by the First Security acquisition, and growth in money market accounts, offset by decreases to time deposits. Other borrowings decreased by $257.5 million, or 41.6%, mainly due to decreased FHLB advances.
Investment Portfolio
Our investment securities portfolio consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. There were no securities classified as trading in our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. All available-for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management consider it to be in our best interest. Securities available-for-sale consist primarily of residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agencies securities.
Securities available-for-sale increased by $96.5 million, or 6.8%, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2024 to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to purchases of securities, the First Security acquisition, and increases in fair value.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our last remaining held-to-maturity security, which was carried at amortized cost, matured. Securities held-to-maturity were $605,000 at December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolio as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands):

Certain securities in unrealized loss positions have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At September 30, 2025, we evaluated the securities that had an unrealized loss for credit losses and determined there were none. There were 252 investment securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2025. We anticipate full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
The following table (dollars in thousands) set forth certain information regarding contractual maturities and the weighted average yields of our investment securities as of September 30, 2025. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Total non-taxable securities classified as obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions were $53.5 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.0 million from December 31, 2024.
There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, with total outstanding balances greater than 10% of our stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Restricted Stock
As a member of the FHLB system, Byline Bank is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB. No market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. The stock is redeemable at par by the FHLB and is, therefore, carried at cost. In addition, Byline Bank owns stock of Bankers’ Bank that was acquired as part of a bank acquisition. The stock is redeemable at par and carried at cost. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held $15.9 million and $27.5 million, respectively, in FHLB and Bankers’ Bank stock. We evaluate impairment of our investment in FHLB and Bankers’ Bank based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. We did not identify any indicators of impairment of FHLB and Bankers’ Bank stock as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Loan and Lease Portfolio
Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is the main driver of the results of our operations. Total loans and leases at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $7.4 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, an increase of $533.9 million, or 7.7%. Originated loans and leases were $6.8 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $513.6 million, or 8.2%, compared to $6.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Purchased credit deteriorated loans and acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases were $683.4 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.3 million, or 3.1%, compared to $663.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in our originated portfolio was primarily attributed to organic loan and lease growth, and renewals of acquired loans and leases that are now reflected with originated loans. The increase in the purchased credit deteriorated and acquired non-credit-deteriorated loan and lease portfolio was driven by the First Security acquisition.
We strive to maintain a relatively diversified loan portfolio to help reduce the risk inherent in concentration in certain types of collateral. Loans, excluding leases, are typically made to real estate, manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital needs, business expansions and operations. As of September 30, 2025, the loan portfolio included $428.2 million of unguaranteed 7(a) SBA and USDA loans with exposure to the following top three industries: 20.6% retail trade, 13.4% accommodation and food services, and 8.3% health care and social assistance.

At September 30, 2025, 45.2% of the loan and lease portfolio bears interest at fixed rates and 54.8% at floating rates. The expected life of our loan portfolio will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to curtail or prepay their loans with or without penalties. Because a portion of the portfolio is accounted for under ASC 326, the carrying value is significantly affected by estimates and it is impracticable to allocate scheduled payments for those loans based on those estimates. Consequently, the tables presented include information limited to contractual maturities of the underlying loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Leases
The ACL is determined by us on a quarterly basis, although we are engaged in monitoring the appropriate level of the allowance on a more frequent basis. We assess the ACL based on three categories: (i) originated loans and leases, (ii) acquired non-credit-deteriorated loans and leases, and (iii) purchased credit deteriorated loans. The ACL reflects management’s estimate of current expected credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolios. The computation includes elements of judgment and high levels of subjectivity. Factors considered by us include, but are not limited to, actual loss experience, peer loss experience, changes in size and risk profile of the portfolio, identification of individual problem loan and lease situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, application of a reasonable and supportable forecast, and evaluation of the prevailing economic conditions. Changes in conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future periods.

Total ACL was $105.7 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $98.0 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $7.7 million or 7.9%. The increase was primarily due to increases associated with collectively evaluated loans and adjustments from acquired purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans. Total ACL to total loans and leases held for investment, net before ACL, was 1.42% of total loans and
67
leases at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $32.7 million of the ACL was allocated to the unguaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) and USDA loans.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing loans and leases include loans and leases 90 days past due and still accruing and loans and leases accounted for on a non-accrual basis. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and leases plus other real estate owned. Non-performing assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $67.4 million and $67.2 million, with the increase driven mainly by increases to non-accrual loans and leases. The U.S. government guaranteed portion of non-performing loans totaled $8.4 million at September 30, 2025 and $9.9 million at December 31, 2024.
Total other real estate owned ("OREO") decreased from $5.2 million at December 31, 2024 to $4.2 million at September 30, 2025. The decrease in OREO resulted from sales and write-downs of OREO properties.

Our loan and lease growth is funded primarily through core deposits. We gather deposits primarily through each of our 44 branch locations in the Chicago metropolitan area and one branch in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Through our branch network, online, mobile and direct banking channels, we offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposit accounts, interest-bearing products, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. We offer competitive online, mobile, and direct banking channels. Small businesses are a significant source of low cost deposits as they value convenience, flexibility, and access to local decision makers that are responsive to their needs.
Total deposits at September 30, 2025 were $7.8 billion, representing an increase of $369.6 million, or 5.0%, compared to $7.5 billion at December 31, 2024, driven by an increase in money market demand accounts and non-interest bearing demand deposits. Non-interest-bearing deposits were $1.9 billion, or 24.7% of total deposits, at September 30, 2025, an increase of $176.8 million, or 10.1%, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024, or 23.5% of total deposits. Core deposits were 87.0% and 85.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Our average cost of deposits was 2.16% during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our average cost of deposits was 2.24% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These decreases were principally attributed to lower rates paid on time deposits and changes in deposit mix. The ratio of our average non-interest bearing deposits to total average deposits was 24.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 23.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The ratio of our average non-interest bearing deposits to total average deposits ratios was 23.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 24.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We had $56.0 million in brokered time deposits at September 30, 2025 and $364.8 million at December 31, 2024, which represented 0.7% and 4.9% of total deposits, respectively. The decrease in brokered deposits was due to increases in other sources of funding.

Short Term and Long Term Borrowings
In addition to deposits, we also utilize FHLB advances as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations. The Bank’s advances from the FHLB are collateralized by commercial, residential and multi-family real estate loans and securities. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an available borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $3.1 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, subject to the availability of collateral. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $320.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding with a maturities ranging from October 2025 to November 2025.
During 2020, the Company issued $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating subordinated notes that mature on July 1, 2030. The subordinated notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.00% until July 1, 2025 and a floating interest rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 588 basis points thereafter until maturity. The transaction resulted in debt issuance costs of approximately $1.7 million that are being amortized over 10 years. On August 22, 2025, the Company provided notice of full redemption to the holders of the subordinated notes. On October 1, 2025, the Company redeemed the $75.0 million outstanding principal amount of subordinated notes due 2030 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal plus accrued interest of $1.9 million.
On August 7, 2025, the Company issued $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that mature on August 15, 2035. The subordinated notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.875% until August 15, 2030 and a floating interest rate equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 322 basis points thereafter until maturity. The Company may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on a quarterly basis beginning on August 15, 2030, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is then required. The transaction resulted in debt issuance costs of approximately $1.0 million that will be amortized over 10 years. As of September 30, 2025, the liability outstanding relating to the subordinated notes issued on August 7, 2025, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $74.0 million. Refer to Note 13—Subordinated Notes and Junior Subordinated Debentures for additional discussion.
On January 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") that allowed us to access the Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"). On January 22, 2024, the Company opened an advance of $200.0 million from the FRB as part of the BTFP. Under the terms of the BTFP, the Bank pledged securities to FRB Chicago as collateral for available advances. The advance carried a fixed interest rate of 4.91%. Advances under the BTFP were prepayable at any time without a prepayment penalty. On September 19, 2024, the Company repaid the BTFP advance in full.
The Company also has the capacity to borrow funds from the discount window of the Federal Reserve System. There were no borrowings outstanding under the FRB discount window line as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company pledges loans as collateral for any borrowings under the FRB discount window.

Customer Repurchase Agreements (Sweeps)
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent a demand deposit product offered to customers that sweep balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit into overnight repurchase agreements. We pledge securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by $9.2 million, from $32.1 million at December 31, 2024 to $41.3 million at September 30, 2025.
Liquidity
We manage liquidity based upon factors that include the amount of core deposits as a percentage of total deposits, the level of diversification of our funding sources, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the availability of assets to be readily converted into cash without undue loss, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold and the re-pricing characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the re-pricing characteristics of our liabilities, the ability to securitize and sell certain pools of assets and other factors.
Our liquidity needs are primarily met by cash and investment securities positions, growth in deposits, cash flow from amortizing loan portfolios, and borrowings from the FHLB. For additional information regarding our operating, investing, and financing cash flows, see Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
As of September 30, 2025, Byline Bank had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $3.1 billion and $796.7 million from the FRB. As of September 30, 2025, Byline Bank had open FHLB advances of $320.0 million and open letters of credit of $9.3 million. Based on collateral, our available aggregate borrowing capacity at September 30, 2025 was $1.4 billion. In addition, Byline Bank had uncommitted federal funds lines available of $135.0 million available at September 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, Byline Bank had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $3.3 billion and $792.3 million from the FRB. As of December 31, 2024, Byline Bank had open FHLB advances of $575.0 million and open letters of credit of $11.5 million. Based on collateral and securities pledged, our available aggregate borrowing capacity at December 31, 2024 was $1.1 billion. In addition, Byline Bank had an uncommitted federal funds line available of $127.5 million available at December 31, 2024.
The Company is currently party to a revolving credit agreement with a correspondent bank with availability of up to $15.0 million that matures on May 24, 2026. The revolving line of credit bears interest at either Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 205 basis points or the Prime Rate minus 75 basis points, not to be less than 2.00%, based on the Company’s election, which is required to be communicated at least three business days prior to the commencement of an interest period. If the Company fails to provide timely notification, the interest rate will be Prime Rate minus 75 basis points. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the line of credit had a no outstanding balance.
The variable term loan was paid off in January 2025. At December 31, 2024, the variable term loan had an interest rate of 6.83% and an outstanding balance of $11.7 million.
There are regulatory limitations that affect the ability of Byline Bank to pay dividends to the Company. See Note 21—Segment Information of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.
We expect that our cash and liquidity resources will be generated by the operations of Byline Bank, which we expect to be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2025 was $1.2 billion compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $146.2 million, or 13.4%. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in retained earnings and the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition of First Security.
The Company and Byline Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.
Under applicable bank regulatory capital requirements, each of the Company and Byline Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Byline Bank must also meet certain specific capital guidelines under the prompt corrective action framework. The capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Byline Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets, (referred to as the "leverage ratio"), as defined under these capital requirements.
As of September 30, 2025, Byline Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements and was considered "well-capitalized". There have been no conditions or events since September 30, 2025 that management believes have changed Byline Bank’s classifications.
The regulatory capital ratios for the Company and Byline Bank to meet the minimum capital adequacy standards and for Byline Bank to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework and the Company’s and Byline Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are set forth in the following tables as of the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

The ratios above reflect the Company’s election to opt into the regulators’ joint Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") transition provision, which allows the Company to phase in the capital impact of the adoption of CECL over the three years beginning January 1, 2022. Accordingly, capital ratios as of September 30, 2025 reflect 100% of the CECL impact and December 31, 2024 reflect 75% of the CECL impact.
The Company and Byline Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum risk-based capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. The conservation buffers for the Company and Byline Bank exceed the minimum capital requirement as of September 30, 2025.
Provisions of state and federal banking regulations may limit, by statute, the amount of dividends that may be paid to the Company by Byline Bank without prior approval of Byline Bank’s regulatory agencies. The Company is economically dependent on the cash dividends received from Byline Bank. These dividends represent the primary cash flow from operating activities used to service obligations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the Company received $55.0 million in cash dividends from Byline Bank, in order to pay the required interest on its outstanding subordinated note, junior subordinated debentures in connection with its trust preferred securities interest, principal and interest payments related to its term note and revolving line of credit, and to fund other Company-related activities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received $46.0 million in cash dividends from Byline Bank, in order to pay the required interest on its outstanding subordinated note and junior subordinated debentures in connection with its trust preferred securities interest, principal and interest on its term loan and revolving line of credit, and to fund other Company-related activities.
On December 6, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The program was in effect from January 1, 2024 until December 31, 2024, and we did not purchase any shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program during 2024.
On December 5, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The program will be in effect from January 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025, unless terminated earlier. The shares may, at the discretion of management, be repurchased from time to time in open market purchases as market conditions warrant or in privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and share price of shares purchased under the repurchase program will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements. The shares authorized to be repurchased represented

approximately 2.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at December 31, 2024. The Company purchased 7,424 and 577,023 shares under this program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Dividends declared on common shares were $4.6 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends paid on common shares were $4.5 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends declared on common shares were $13.7 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends paid on common shares were $13.6 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On October 21, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on November 17, 2025 to stockholders of record of our common stock as of November 3, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Items and Other Financing Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Byline Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral is primarily obtained in the form of commercial and residential real estate (including income producing commercial properties).
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Byline Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for funded instruments. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and standby letters of credit.
We enter into interest rate swaps that are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate loans, money market accounts and variable rate borrowings. We also enter into interest rate swaps with certain qualified borrowers to facilitate the borrowers’ risk management strategies and concurrently entered into mirror-image derivatives with a third party counterparty.
We recognize derivative financial instruments at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. We record derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued interest receivable and other assets, and accrued interest payable and other liabilities, respectively. Because the derivative assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at September 30, 2025 do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these assets and liabilities are listed in the table below (dollars in thousands):

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in our "Selected Financial Data" are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses the non‑GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of our performance:
We believe that these non‑GAAP financial measures provide useful information to its management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non‑GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP financial measures that we and other companies use. Management also uses these measures for peer comparison.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin because of changes in interest rates.
We seek to measure and manage the potential impact of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price at different times, on a different basis or in unequal amounts. Interest rate risk also arises when our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts each respond differently to changes in interest rates, including as a result of explicit and implicit provisions in agreements related to such assets and liabilities and in off-balance sheet contracts that alter the applicable interest rate and cash flow characteristics as interest rates change.
We are also exposed to interest rate risk through the retained portion of the U.S. government guaranteed loans we make and the related servicing rights. Our U.S. government guaranteed loan portfolio is comprised primarily of SBA 7(a) loans, virtually all of which are quarterly or monthly adjustable with the prime rate. The SBA portfolio reacts differently in a rising rate environment than our other non-guaranteed portfolios. Generally, when interest rates rise, the prepayments in the SBA portfolio tend to increase.
Our management of interest rate risk is overseen by our Board of Directors and management asset liability committees based on a risk management infrastructure approved by our Board of Directors that outline reporting and measurement requirements. Our risk management infrastructure also requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates based on historical analysis, non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposit decay rate assumptions, liability repricing beta based on historical analysis and the targeted investment term of capital. The committees closely monitor our interest sensitivity exposure, asset and liability allocation decisions, liquidity and capital positions, and local and national economic conditions and attempts to structure the loan and investment portfolios and funding sources to maximize earnings within acceptable risk tolerances.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our interest-bearing liabilities by managing the interest rates and tenors associated with our borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank our other borrowings, and deposits from our customers that we rely on for funding. We manage the interest rate risk associated with our interest-earning assets by managing the interest rates and tenors associated with our investment and loan portfolios, from time to time purchasing and selling investment securities.
We utilize interest rate derivatives to hedge our interest rate exposure on commercial loans when it meets our customers’ and Byline Bank’s needs. As of September 30, 2025, we had a notional amount of $1.9 billion of interest rate derivatives outstanding that includes customer derivatives and those on Byline Bank's balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of our hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of our execution, the accuracy of our valuation assumptions, the associated counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates.
We do not engage in speculative trading activities relating to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equities or credit.
Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk
We evaluate interest rate risk through the use of two different models: net interest income ("NII") simulations and economic value of equity ("EVE") simulations. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on equity and net interest income based on a variety of assumptions. Changes in assumptions may significantly alter the results of our simulations.
We use an NII simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in our net interest income. We run various hypothetical interest rate scenarios at least quarterly and compare these results against a scenario with no changes in interest rates. Our NII simulation model incorporates various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (1) asset prepayment speed assumptions, (2) predefined credit spreads for both investment securities and loans, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments on and off balance sheet, and (4) the effect of interest rate limitations in our assets, such as floors and caps. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.
We use an EVE simulation to analyze the Company's long-term view of interest rate risk as it analyzes the Company's future cash flows. EVE is defined as the present value of the Company's assets, less the present value of its liabilities, adjusted for off-balance sheet items, with the results showing a theoretical change in the economic value of stockholders' equity as interest rates change. Our EVE simulation model incorporates various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (1) asset prepayment speed assumptions, (2) deposit decay rate assumptions, (3) predefined credit spreads for both investment securities and loans (4) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments on and off balance sheet, (5) amortization schedule, and (6) discount rates associated with the products on balance sheet.
Potential changes to our net interest income and economic value of equity in hypothetical rising and declining interest rate scenarios calculated as of September 30, 2025 are presented below.

We also conduct NII simulations that incorporate a dynamic balance sheet and ramp rate shock scenarios. The balance sheet reflects management’s growth expectations, while interest rates are modeled using an implied forward yield curve, reflecting market expectations of future rate movements. Ramp rate shocks are applied gradually, shifting up or down by 1/12th of the total change each month over the first 12 months. Under these scenarios, a gradual 100 and 200 basis point downward ramp rate shock would decrease NII by 2.5% and 4.5%, respectively, over the next 12 months. Conversely, a gradual 100 and 200 basis point upward ramp rate shock would increase NII by 2.7% and 5.6%, respectively, over the same period.
The Bank's aggregate interest rate risk exposure is monitored and managed based on the economic outlook and under guidance of board-approved policy limits. The results of the simulations are hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted, including: the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, depositor behavior changes, and management strategies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section included in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On December 5, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The program is in effect from January 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025 unless terminated earlier. The shares may, at the discretion of management, be repurchased from time to time in open market purchases as market conditions warrant or in privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and share price of shares purchased under the repurchase program will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements.
The table below includes information regarding purchases of our common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
