Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Corporate Structure and Nature of Operations; Basis of Presentation
Corporate Structure and Nature of Operations
NB Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is a bank holding company. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Needham Bank (the “Bank”), the Company provides a variety of banking services, through its full-service bank branches, located in eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
The activities of the Company and the Bank are subject to the regulatory supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. The Company and the activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries are also subject to various Massachusetts business and banking regulations.
Conversion
Effective December 27, 2023, NB Financial, MHC (the “MHC”), the Bank’s former mutual holding company and the predecessor of the Company, converted from a mutual holding company into a publicly traded stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). In connection with the conversion, the Company sold 40,997,500 shares of common stock in a public offering at $10.00 per share for net offering proceeds of approximately $400.4 million. Additionally, the Company donated $2.0 million of cash and 1,708,229 shares of common stock to the Needham Bank Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”).
In connection with the conversion, liquidation accounts are established by the Company and the Bank in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the MHC’s ownership interest in the shareholders’ equity of NB Financial, Inc. as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition included in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated October 12, 2023, plus (ii) the value of the net assets of the MHC as of the date of the MHC’s latest statement of financial condition before the consummation of the Conversion (excluding the MHC’s ownership interest in NB Financial, Inc.). Each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder is entitled to a proportionate share of the liquidation accounts in the event of a liquidation of (i) the Company and the Bank or (ii) the Bank, and only in such events. This share will be reduced if the eligible account holder’s or supplemental account holder’s deposit balance falls below the amounts on the date of record and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation account will never be increased despite any increase after Conversion in the related deposit balance. The Bank may not pay a dividend on its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause retained earnings to be reduced below the liquidation account amount or regulatory capital requirements.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) as well as the rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of federal securities laws.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include the balances and results of operations of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary, as well as the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Needco-op Investment Corporation, 1892 Investments LLC and Eaton Square Realty, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts, previously reported, have been reclassified to state all periods on a comparable basis and had no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income.
The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026, and the Consolidated Statements of Income, of Comprehensive Income, of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes contained within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, any other interim period, or any future year or period.
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has the ability to defer the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until the nonpublic company effective dates. As such, the Company will adopt standards on the nonpublic company effective dates until such time that we no longer qualify as an EGC.
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated balance sheet but arose after that date.
Provident Bancorp, Inc. and BankProv Acquisition
On November 15, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Provident Bancorp, Inc. and BankProv (“Provident”). The total consideration paid in the acquisition of Provident was $111.8 million in cash and the issuance of 5,943,682 shares of common stock valued at $114.7 million. The acquisition added $1.40 billion of total assets, $1.23 billion of total loans and $1.14 billion in total deposits, each at fair value, as of the date of closing.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of consideration paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired totaled $18.5 million and was recorded as goodwill. The results of Provident’s operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on November 15, 2025.
The calculation of goodwill is subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the transaction as additional information relative to closing date estimates and uncertainties become available. The Company made no adjustments to Goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Operating Segments
Reportable segments are those revenue producing components for which separate financial information is produced internally and which are subject to evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment: its banking business, which consists of a full range of banking, lending, savings, and small business offerings. The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as net income reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) on loans, fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities and resulting accretion and amortization of purchase accounting premiums/discounts, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of deferred tax assets, actuarial estimates related to the Company’s retirement programs, the valuation of financial instruments and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles. In connection with the determination of the ACL and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
A majority of the Company's loan portfolio consists of one-to-four-family residential, commercial real estate and construction and land development loans in the metro-west area of Boston and its surrounding communities. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio and the recovery of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions.
While management uses currently available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the ACL and valuation reserves on foreclosed real estate may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL on loans and valuation reserves on foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ACL on loans and valuation reserves on foreclosed real estate based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the ACL on loans and valuation reserves on foreclosed real estate may change in the near future.
Business Combinations – Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the related transaction costs expensed in the period incurred. We use third party valuation specialists to assist in the determination of fair value of certain assets and liabilities at the merger date, including loans and core deposit intangibles. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain.

Relevant standards that were recently issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2026:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Sub Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. ASU 2024-03 improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
9
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3 – Securities
The Company's available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, management will first evaluate whether there is intent to sell, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the Company will record a write-down of the security's amortized cost basis to fair value through income. For those available-for-sale securities which do not meet the intent or requirement to sell criteria, management will evaluate whether the decline in fair value is a result of credit related matters or other factors. In performing this assessment, management considers the creditworthiness of the issuer including whether the security is guaranteed by the U.S. Federal Government or other government agency, the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, and changes in credit rating during the period, among other factors.
If this assessment indicates the existence of credit losses, the security will be written down to fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, through an allowance for credit losses. To the extent the estimated cash flows do not support the amortized cost, the deficiency is considered to be due to credit loss and is recognized in earnings.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when the uncollectibility of a security is confirmed, or when either of the aforementioned criteria surrounding intent or requirement to sell have been met.
Securities have been classified on the consolidated balance sheets according to management’s intent. The following tables summarize the amortized cost, allowance for credit losses, and fair value of securities and their corresponding amounts of unrealized gains and losses at the dates indicated:

The Company did not record a provision for estimated credit losses on any available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Excluded from the table above is accrued interest on available-for-sale securities of $1.8 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which is included within accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company did not record any write-offs of accrued interest income on available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. No securities held by the Company were delinquent on contractual payments at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025, nor were any securities placed on non-accrual status for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
The following is a summary of actual maturities of certain available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2026. The amortized cost and fair values are based on the contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty. Agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are presented as separate lines as paydowns are expected to occur before contractual maturity dates.

Management evaluates securities for expected credit losses at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
Included in corporate bonds are investments in senior and subordinated debt of banks and bank holding companies, some of which do not have investment ratings.
At June 30, 2026, AFS debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.6% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses relate to changes in market interest rates since acquiring the securities. As management has the intent and ability to hold available-for-sale debt securities until maturity or cost recovery, no allowance for credit losses on securities is deemed necessary as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 4 – Loans Receivable, Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale to the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value on an individual loan basis. Changes in the fair value of loans held for sale are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when there is a change in the balance of loans being sold at a discount. Interest income is recognized on loans held for sale between the time the loan is funded and the loan is sold. Direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred upon origination and are recognized in the consolidated statements of income on the date of sale. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $59.9 million and $66.4 million of consumer loans held for sale, respectively. The sale of the loans held for sale at June 30, 2026 has been delayed due to liquidity needs of the purchaser but is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Loans Receivable
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported as held for investment at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs and net of any deferred fees (including purchase accounting adjustments) and origination costs (collectively referred to as “amortized cost”). Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield using the payment terms required by the loan contract. When loans are sold or repaid, any unamortized fees and costs are recorded to interest income on loans. Interest income on loans is accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding except for loans on non-accrual status. For acquired loans with no signs of credit deterioration at acquisition, interest income is also accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding, adjusted further by the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium associated with the loan..
Loans are generally placed into nonaccrual status when they are past due 90 days or more as to either principal or interest or when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt. A loan remains in nonaccrual status until the loan is current as to payment of both principal and interest or past due less than 90 days and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current. When cash payments are received, they are applied to principal first, then to accrued interest. It is the Company’s policy not to record interest income on nonaccrual loans until principal has become current.
In certain instances, accruing loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest may not go on nonaccrual status if the Company determines that the loans are well-secured and are in the process of collection.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL represents management’s best estimate of credit losses over the remaining life of the loan portfolio. Loans are charged-off against the ACL when management believes the loan balance is no longer collectible. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are recorded as increases to the ACL. The provision for credit losses is an amount sufficient to bring the ACL to an estimated balance that management considers adequate to absorb lifetime expected losses in the Company’s held-for-investment loan portfolio. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans.
Management’s determination of the adequacy of the ACL under FASB ASC 326 is based on an evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other risk factors. The Company uses a third-party Current Expected Credit Loass (“CECL”) model as part of its estimation of the ACL on a quarterly basis. Loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively assessed within pools (or segments). Loss estimates within the collectively assessed population are based on a combination of pooled assumptions and loan-level characteristics. The Company has determined that using federal call report codes is an appropriate loan segmentation methodology, as it is generally based on risk characteristics of a loan’s underlying collateral.
Using federal call report codes also allows the Company to utilize and assess publicly available external information when developing its estimate of the ACL. The weighted average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method is the primary credit loss estimation methodology used by the Company and involves estimating future cash flows and expected credit losses for pools of loans using their expected remaining WARM.
In applying future economic forecasts, the Company utilizes a forecast period of up to two years. The Company considers economic forecasts of inflation, national gross domestic product, and unemployment rates sourced from the Federal Open Market Committee’s “Summary of Economic Projections” to inform the model for future loss estimation.
Additionally, interest rate forecasts sourced from CME Group’s “FedWatch,” Wells Fargo’s “U.S. Economic Outlook,” and FHN Financial’s “Economic Forecast” publications are used for consideration of rate sensitivity in the model’s loan prepayment speed estimation. Historical loss rates used in the quantitative model are primarily derived using both the Bank’s data and peer bank data obtained from publicly available sources (i.e., federal call reports). The Bank’s peer group is comprised of financial institutions of relatively similar size and in similar markets (i.e., $10 billion or less of total assets and headquartered in New England). The peer group used for certain loan segments is a national peer group of financial institutions of relatively similar size (i.e., $10 billion or less of total assets), where appropriate.
Management continually assesses the peer group and related data used to inform the ACL calculation.
Management also considers qualitative adjustments when estimating credit losses to take into account the model’s quantitative limitations.
Qualitative adjustments to quantitative loss factors, either negative or positive, may include considerations of economic conditions including economic forecasts as detailed above, volume and severity of past due loans, value of underlying collateral, experience, depth, and ability of management, and concentrations of credit.
The Company made no significant change to loss factors, assumptions or qualitative factors within the CECL model during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
For those loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, the Company evaluates the ACL needs on an individual (or loan by loan) basis. This population of individually evaluated loans (or loan relationships with the same primary source of repayment) is determined on a quarterly basis and consists of loans with a risk rating of substandard or worse or loan terms differing significantly from other pooled loans.
13
In accordance with the Company’s policy, non-accrual residential real estate loans that are below $500,000 and well secured (loan-to-value <60%) are excluded from being individually evaluated.
Measurement of credit loss is based on the expected future cash flows of an individually evaluated loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or measured on an observable market value, if one exists, or the estimated market value of the collateral underlying the loan, discounted to consider estimated costs to sell the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the net value is less than the loan’s amortized cost, a specific reserve in the ACL is recorded, which is charged-off in the period when management believes the loan balance is no longer collectible.
The Company’s Troubled Asset Resolution Committee approves the key methodologies and assumptions, as well as the ACL on at least a quarterly basis. While management uses available information at the time of estimation to determine expected credit losses on loans, future changes in the ACL may be necessary based on changes in portfolio composition, portfolio credit quality, and/or economic trends. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank’s ACL and may require an increase in the provision for credit losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.
Collateral-Dependent Loans. The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral-dependent loans:
Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development and industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.
Purchased Credit-Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans. PCD loans are acquired individual loans (or acquired groups of loans with similar risk characteristics) that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality, as determined by the Company’s analyses.
14
A PCD loan is recorded at its purchase price plus the ACL expected at the time of acquisition, or “gross up” of the amortized cost basis, if any. Changes in the current estimate of the ACL subsequent to acquisition from the estimated allowance previously recorded are recognized in the income statement as provision for credit losses or recoveries of credit losses in subsequent periods as they arise.
Evidence that purchased loans, measured at amortized cost, have more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality and therefore meet the PCD definition may include past-due status, non-accrual status, risk rating and other standard indicators (i.e., modification due to financial difficulty, charge-offs, bankruptcy).
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded. The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the ACL on loans. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Quality Information
The Company utilizes a nine-grade internal rating system for all loans, except consumer loans, which are not risk rated, as follows:
Loans rated 1-5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company reviews the accuracy of risk ratings for commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, and commercial and industrial loans based on various ongoing performance characteristics and supporting information that is provided from time to time by commercial borrowers. Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.
The following table presents the amortized cost of loans receivable by internal risk grade by year of origination as of June 30, 2026. Also presented are current period gross charge-offs by loan type and vintage year for the three months ended June 30, 2026:

The charge-offs in the commercial and industrial portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily driven by two large charge-offs of PCD loans, in amounts of $10.6 million and $1.8 million. These loans were previously reserved for through purchase accounting adjustments as of the acquisition date and resulted in no additional loss to the Company.

In accordance with the accounting guidance codified in ASC 350-20, the Company performs a test of goodwill for impairment at the reporting segment level on an annual basis, or sooner, if an event occurs or circumstances change which might indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting segment is less than its carrying amount. The Company has one identified reporting segment and assigned goodwill to the banking business reporting segment.
The Company performed its annual assessment for the banking business as of December 31, 2025. The assessment included a qualitative assessment which indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. Based upon the assessment, it was determined there was no impairment of the Company’s goodwill as of December 31, 2025.
The amortization expense of the Company’s other intangible assets was $892,000 and $37,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.8 million and $74,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The weighted average original amortization period and weighted average remaining useful life of the Company’s other intangible assets is 10.0 years and 9.1 years, respectively. Management performs an assessment of the remaining useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets on a quarterly basis to determine if such lives remain appropriate.

Note 6 – Employee Benefits
401(k) Plan. The Company has an employee tax deferred incentive plan (the “401(k) plan”) under which the Company makes voluntary contributions within certain limitations. All employees who meet specified age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan.
The amount contributed by the Company to the 401(k) plan is included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income. The amounts contributed to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $849,000 and $728,000, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Employee Pension Plan. The Company provided pension benefits through a defined benefit plan maintained with the Co-operative Banks Employees Retirement Association (“CBERA”) (the “Plan”). The Plan was a multi-employer plan whereby the contributions by each bank are not restricted to provide benefits to the employees of the contributing bank; therefore, the Company is not required to recognize the funded status of the Plan on its consolidated balance sheet and need only accrue for any quarterly contributions due and payable on demand, or any withdrawal liabilities assessed by CBERA if the Company intended to withdraw from the Plan.
The Company decided to freeze benefit accruals and withdraw from the Plan as of December 31, 2023. The Company withdrew from the Plan in the second quarter of 2024.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as part of the final Plan liquidation, the Company contributed an additional $2,000 and $1.2 million to the Plan, respectively.
2014 Deferred Compensation Plan. During 2014, the Company put into place an unfunded, defined contribution, Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“2014 Deferred Comp Plan”) for select employees of the Company. The 2014 Deferred Comp Plan was provided to key management of the Company and results in 5% to 20% of the employee’s then current base salary being credited to the participant’s account annually, subject to increases in annual base compensation and the possibility of additional discretionary contributions. The employees vest at varying dates in accordance with each individual’s deferred compensation participation agreement; however, all key officers will be fully vested upon the attainment of age 65. The obligations under these plans are included in accrued retirement liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and approximated $2.5 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The expense under the 2014 Deferred Comp Plan (recorded in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income) approximated $88,000 and $88,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $176,000 and $177,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
2022 Deferred Compensation Plan. In January 2022, the Company put into place an unfunded Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“2022 Deferred Comp Plan”) for select employees of the Company. The 2022 Deferred Comp Plan was provided to key management of the Company and allows for the employees to defer amounts from their salary, bonus, or LTIP (as defined below) into the 2022 Deferred Comp Plan to be paid out at a future date. Amounts deferred under the 2022 Deferred Comp Plan increase in value based upon the growth of the Bank’s tangible capital, with the Compensation Committee holding discretionary authority.
The obligations under the 2022 Deferred Comp Plan are included in accrued retirement liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and approximated $7.8 million and $5.1 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
LTIP. In January 2020, the Company put into place a long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) for certain members of its management team where benefits are awarded annually on a discretionary basis and cliff vest after three years. Under the LTIP, individuals are granted “phantom shares”, and benefits are accrued based upon the projected growth of the Bank’s capital. The obligations under the LTIP are included in accrued retirement liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and approximated $4.3 million and $7.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The expense under the LTIP (recorded in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income) approximated $611,000 and $832,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Director Pension Plan. The Company has a director defined benefit pension plan (“Director Pension Plan”), covering directors who were in service prior to 2023 and have met the plan’s vesting requirements. The Company’s liabilities for the Director Pension Plan are calculated by an independent actuary who uses the “projected unit credit” actuarial method to determine the normal cost and actuarial liability. The liability for the Director Pension Plan amounted to $6.9 million and $6.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The expense under this plan (recorded in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income) approximated $160,000 and $162,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $320,000 and $324,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company records an estimate of net periodic pension cost for the Director Pension Plan to accrued retirement liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet on a quarterly basis. Equity adjustments, to accumulated other comprehensive loss, in conjunction with the Director Pension Plan are recorded by the Company annually upon receipt of the independent actuarial report.
Employment and Change in Control Agreements. The Company entered into an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer that renews for one additional year each January 1st. During 2025, the Company entered into change in control agreements with certain executive officers, which provide severance payments in the event of the executive’s involuntary or constructive termination of employment, including upon a termination following a change in control as defined in the agreements.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. As part of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) completed on December 27, 2023, the Bank established a tax-qualified Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Company shares. The ESOP borrowed $47.2 million from the Company to purchase 3,416,458 common shares on the open market. The loan is payable in annual installments over 20 years at an interest rate of 8.50%, which was refinanced to 7.50% during 2025. As the loan is repaid to the Company, shares are released and allocated proportionally to eligible participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to the compensation of all participants. The unallocated ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the loan.
The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under this guidance, unreleased shares are deducted from shareholders’ equity as unearned ESOP shares on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the difference will be credited or debited to shareholders' equity.
As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable from the ESOP to the Company is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP was $876,000 and $842,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP was $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation. On April 23, 2025, the shareholders of the Company approved the NB Bancorp, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (“2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,987,802 shares of common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, any or all of which can be granted with performance-based vesting conditions. Under the 2025 Plan, 1,708,229 shares may be issued as RSAs or RSUs, including those issued as performance shares and PSUs, and 4,270,573 shares may be issued upon the exercise of stock options. These shares may be awarded from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares. However, the 2025 Plan permits the grant of additional RSAs or RSUs above the aforementioned limit, provided that, for each additional share of RSA or RSU awarded in excess of such limit, the pool of shares available to be issued upon the exercise of stock options will be reduced by three shares.
The RSAs are measured based on grant-date fair value, which reflects the 10-day volume-weighted average price of our stock, on the date of the grant. Of the RSAs granted to date, 1,477,571 shares vest over five years in equal portions beginning on the first anniversary date of the RSA grant date and 90,513 shares vest over five years in equal portions when certain performance metrics are met.
The following table summarizes the Company’s RSA activities for the periods indicated:

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement – Overall (“ASC 820-10”), provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP. This guidance also allows the Company the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value for June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
AFS Securities. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds (such as U.S. Treasuries), mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Derivative Arrangements. The fair values of derivative arrangements are estimated by the Company using a third-party derivative valuation expert who relies on Level 2 inputs, namely discounted cash flow models to determine a fair value by calculating a settlement termination value with the counterparty.
27
Assets measured and reported at estimated fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The Company had no purchases, sales or transfers of Level 3 assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The change in the value of Level 3 assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was a direct result of the change in market value of the underlying securities.
The Company may also be required from time to time to measure certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any adjustments to fair value usually result in write-downs of individual assets.
Collateral-Dependent Loans. Collateral-dependent loans with specific reserves are carried at fair value, which equals the estimated market value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. A loan may have multiple types of collateral; however, the majority of the Company’s loan collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is generally determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties or is discounted by the Company because of lack of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3.
The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant or the net book value on the applicable borrower’s financial statements if not considered significant.
28
Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.
Enterprise value is defined as imputed value for the entire underlying business. To determine an appropriate range of enterprise value, management relies on a standardized set of valuation methodologies that take into account future projected cash flows, market-based multiples, as well as asset values. Valuations involve both quantitative and qualitative considerations and professional judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics in addition to other factors that may impact values over time (Level 3).
The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Appraisals and/or sales of comparable properties or financial statements of the business
Appraisals discounted 5% to 20% for sales commission and other holding costs; Enterprise value discounts of assets, liabilities and equity; industry Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization multiples
ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.
ASC 825 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The exit price notion is a market-based measurement of fair value that is represented by the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) on the measurement date. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, fair values of loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
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 originate loans, to disburse funds to borrowers on unused construction and land development loans, and to disburse funds on committed but unused lines of credit.
These financial agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to originate loans and disburse additional funds to borrowers on lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided 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. 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 borrower.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The commitments to originate loans and lines of credit may expire without being funded or drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
30
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the maximum potential amount of the Company’s obligation was $7.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, for standby letters of credit. The Company’s outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year. If a letter of credit is drawn upon, the Company may seek recourse through the customer’s underlying line of credit. If the customer’s line of credit is also in default, the Company may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represents off-balance sheet credit risk and are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets consist of the following at the dates stated:
Commitments to originate loans
16,668
45,391
Unadvanced funds on lines of credit
816,140
742,375
Unadvanced funds on construction loans

The amount of unadvanced funds on mortgage warehouse loans was $509.5 million at June 30, 2026. For comparative purposes, the corresponding balance at December 31, 2025 was $287.7 million; however, that amount was not separately disclosed in the previously filed financial statements.
The Bank accrues for credit losses related to off-balance sheet financial instruments. Potential losses on off-balance sheet loan commitments are estimated using the same risk factors used to determine the ACL on loans, adjusted for the likelihood that funding will occur. The allowance for off-balance sheet commitments is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $3.5 million and $3.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for the allowance for unfunded commitments of $199,000 and $145,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a release of the allowance for unfunded commitments of $1.1 million and $872,000, respectively.
Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.
Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s assets and liabilities.
Interest Rate Positions. The Company may utilize various interest rate derivatives as hedging instruments against interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings and loan portfolios. An interest rate derivative is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged.

The following tables reflect information about the Company’s derivative positions at the dates indicated below for interest rate swaps which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments is 3 years. Included in the table above is a forward-starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $150 million, which does not begin exchanging cash flows until the third quarter of 2026 and carries a 3-year term during the swap period.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gains or losses is reported as a component of OCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
The Company expects approximately $1.5 million (pre-tax) to be reclassified as an increase to net interest income from OCI related to the Company’s cash flow hedges in the twelve months following June 30, 2026. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based on the forward curve at June 30, 2026.
The Company had no hedges in place for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Non-Designated Hedges. 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 apply hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships, exclusive of credit valuation adjustments, are recorded directly in earnings. The Company executes interest rate swaps and cap agreements with commercial banking customers to facilitate its respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swap and cap agreements are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps and caps that are executed with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Risk Participation Agreements. Risk Participation Agreements (“RPAs”) are guarantees issued by the Company to other parties for a fee, whereby the Company agrees to participate in the credit risk of a derivative customer of the other party. Under the terms of these agreements, the “participating bank” receives a fee from the “lead bank” in exchange for the guarantee of reimbursement if the customer defaults on an interest rate swap.
33
The interest rate swap is transacted such that any and all exchanges of interest payments (favorable and unfavorable) are made between the lead bank and the customer. In the event that an early termination of the swap occurs, and the customer is unable to make a required close out payment, the participating bank assumes that obligation and is required to make this payment. RPAs where the Company acts as the lead bank are referred to as “participations-out,” in reference to the credit risk associated with the customer derivatives being transferred out of the Company. Participations-out generally occur concurrently with the sale of new customer derivatives. RPAs where the Company acts as the participating bank are referred to as “participations-in,” in reference to the credit risk associated with the counterparty’s derivatives being assumed by the Company. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is based on its proportionate share of the settlement amount of the referenced interest rate swap. Settlement amounts are generally calculated based on the fair value of the swap plus outstanding accrued interest receivable from the customer.
The table below presents the number of positions and total notional amount of non-designated hedges and RPAs as of the dates stated:

Swap contract fees, net of brokerage costs, recognized in earnings on the above noted interest rate products and RPA contracts approximated $72,000 and $524,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $272,000 and $612,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults (or is capable of being declared in default) on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, and it could be required to terminate its derivative positions with the counterparty.
The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the counterparty fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to terminate its derivative positions with the counterparty.
In order to mitigate counterparty default risk in conjunction with these interest rate products and RPA credit contracts, the Company was required to maintain $9.1 million of collateral deposit accounts with the counterparties to these agreements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 10 – Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
U.S. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of the shareholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).
The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 11 – Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The Company operated under the risk-based framework as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Under this framework, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets, and Tier 1 Capital to Total Average Assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which each is subject.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank were categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the relevant date that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table as of the date indicated:

Note 12 – Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS represents net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS has been calculated in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive shares of common stock (such as those resulting from the vesting of RSAs) were issued during the period, computed using the treasury stock method.
The Company has RSAs that had a dilutive effect during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Unallocated ESOP shares and unvested RSAs are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no anti-dilutive shares.

General
Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing on Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “indicate,” “would,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “objective,” “goal,” “strategy,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “trend,” “designed to,” “opportunity,” “positioned to,” and other similar expressions or the negative of these terms. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including pre-provision net revenue, operating net income, operating pre-tax income, operating noninterest expense, operating noninterest income, operating effective tax rate, operating earnings per share, basic, operating earnings per share, diluted, operating return on average assets, operating return on average shareholders’ equity, operating efficiency ratio, tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share. The Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses to evaluate the Company’s performance, and which exclude the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and U.S. GAAP adjustments that we believe are unrelated to our core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of the Company’s current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into our core businesses as well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items in the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures. These unaudited disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Total Assets. Total assets increased $440.5 million, or 6.3%, to $7.45 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $7.01 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increases in net loans and non-public investments, offset partially by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and BOLI.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.7 million, or 1.9%, to $400.2 million as of June 30, 2026 from $407.9 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of the repurchase of 2,207,236 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities increased $3.7 million, or 1.4%, to $272.6 million as of June 30, 2026 from $269.0 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of purchases of U.S. Treasuries, Government Agency debt securities and mortgage-backed securities.
Loans. Net loans increased $442.1 million, or 7.5%, to $6.34 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $5.90 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from increases in: commercial real estate loans, which increased $197.5 million, or 10.3%; commercial and industrial loans, which increased $140.1 million, or 13.9%; residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, of $56.5 million, or 4.3%; multi-family loans of $50.2 million, or 9.7%; construction and land development loans of $35.1 million, or 4.8%; and consumer loans of $23.3 million, or 11.4%, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage warehouse loans of $63.3 million, or 22.5%. The increase in our loan portfolio reflects our strategy to prudently grow the balance sheet by continuing to diversify into higher-yielding loans to improve net margins and manage interest rate risk.
Loans to borrowers in the cannabis loan industry increased $137.6 million, or 34.0%, to $542.4 million as of June 30, 2026 from $404.8 million as of December 31, 2025. Of those totals, $374.2 million and $228.8 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were direct loans to cannabis companies and were collateralized by real estate
Collateral dependent loans increased $42.0 million, or 99.9%, to $84.1 million as of June 30, 2026, from $42.0 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily driven by one CRE relationship that is well collateralized, paying as expected and with no required specific reserve.
Deposits. Deposits increased $466.3 million, or 8.0%, to $6.32 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $5.85 billion as of December 31, 2025. Core deposits (which we define as all deposits including certificates of deposit, other than brokered deposits) increased $282.1 million, or 5.3%, to $5.60 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $5.32 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits was the result of growth in customer deposits, which primarily included the following: noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $125.4 million, or 15.2%; NOW accounts, which increased $92.1 million, or 13.9%; and customer certificates of deposit, which increased $59.0 million, or 4.9%. Brokered deposits increased $184.2 million, or 34.4%, to $719.9 million as of June 30, 2026 from $535.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
Deposits from customers in the cannabis industry increased $69.1 million, or 15.2%, to $522.1 million as of June 30, 2026 from $453.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

FHLB Borrowings. FHLB borrowings decreased $15.0 million, or 7.6%, to $181.2 million as of June 30, 2026 from $196.2 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily driven by deposit growth outpacing loan growth.
Shareholders’ Equity. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $16.9 million, or 2.0%, to $842.0 million as of June 30, 2026 from $858.9 million as of December 31, 2025, due to the $43.0 million decrease in additional paid-in capital resulting from the completion of our share repurchase program in which we repurchased a total of 2,207,236 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2026 at an all-in weighted average cost of $20.96 per share totaling $46.3 million, together with a $4.8 million, or 153.9%, increase in other comprehensive loss as a result of the interest rate environment negatively impacting the value of our AFS securities portfolio and our balance sheet hedges, partially offset by net income of $36.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Net Income. Net income increased $6.5 million, or 44.9%, to $21.1 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $14.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net interest income increased $22.1 million, or 47.1%, and noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 29.9%, partially offset by increased noninterest expense of $14.6 million, or 49.7%, and increased income tax expense of $2.2 million, or 53.9%.
Operating net income, excluding one-time charges, amounted to $21.9 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to operating net income, excluding one-time charges, of $15.0 million, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which represents an increase of $6.8 million, or 45.4%.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $31.9 million, or 40.0%, to $111.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $79.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to increased interest and fees on loans of $31.9 million, or 42.6%. The increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily due to an increase of $1.90 billion, or 42.4%, in the average balance of the loan portfolio to $6.38 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $4.48 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, reflecting the Provident acquisition, which was completed on November 14, 2025 and the growth of our commercial and construction loan portfolios.
Average interest-earning assets increased $1.99 billion, or 40.2%, to $6.93 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $4.94 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 1 basis point to 6.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from 6.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Interest and dividend income included $2.0 million of fair value mark accretion related to the acquisition of Provident, representing 1.8% or 5 basis points of net interest margin, during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company recorded no fair value mark accretion during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $9.8 million, or 29.9%, to $42.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $32.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Interest expense on deposits increased $9.0 million, or 28.4%, to $40.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $31.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily driven by an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts of $629.6 million, or 32.0%, to $2.59 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $1.96 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $610.2 million, or 56.0%, to $1.70 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $1.09 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate on certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts of 42 basis points to 3.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from 4.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $810,000, or 70.4%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily from the increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings of $105.6 million, or 102.1%, to $209.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $103.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $22.1 million, or 47.1%, to $69.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $47.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a $1.99 billion, or 40.2%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $6.93 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $4.94 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and a decrease in the weighted average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 36 basis points to 3.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from 3.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $1.67 billion, or 44.5%, to $5.42 billion at June 30, 2026 from $3.75 billion at June 30, 2025.
Provision for Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the ACL, a provision of $3.2 million was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, of which $3.0 million related to the provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a provision of $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which included a $4.2 million provision for credit losses on loans. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans was primarily driven by prior quarter reserve increases from updated peer proxies to better reflect geographic composition and construction to permanent amortization adjustments, partially offset by current quarter other consumer charge-off replenishment and higher C&I impaired reserves. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments increased $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of an increase in unfunded commitments during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 29.9%, to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from increased customer service fees of $1.1 million, or 44.1%, due to higher cash management, loan and debit card fees.

Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased $7.0 million, or 37.6%, resulting primarily from a $4.1 million increase in employee compensation, a $1.1 million increase in medical and dental benefits and a $541,000 increase in employee bonus expense, all due to headcount increases related to the Provident acquisition and the Company’s continued organic growth, and a $525,000 increase in stock-based compensation as a result of the grants made during the current year.
44
Data processing expenses increased $2.4 million, or 96.5% primarily driven by our continued investment in technology and systems in support of upcoming revenue initiatives, requiring the operation of systems in parallel for a period of time while new systems are implemented.

The increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily due to an increase of $1.81 billion, or 40.9%, in the average balance of the loan portfolio to $6.23 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.42 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflecting the Provident acquisition, which was completed on November 14, 2025, and the growth of our commercial and construction loan portfolios.
Average interest-earning assets increased $1.89 billion, or 38.5%, to $6.81 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.92 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 1 basis point to 6.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 6.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $17.3 million, or 26.1%, to $83.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $66.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of certificate of deposit and individual retirement accounts of $574.1 million, or 29.1%, to $2.55 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.97 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $624.3 million, or 57.7% to $1.71 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and an increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings of $75.1 million, or 77.2%, to $172.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $97.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate on certificate of deposit and individual retirement accounts of 51 basis points to 3.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 4.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net interest income increased $43.5 million, or 48.0%, to $134.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $90.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a $1.89 billion, or 38.5%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $6.81 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.92 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and a decrease in the weighted average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 40 basis points to 3.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 3.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These increases were offset partially by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $1.57 billion, or 41.9%, to $5.30 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $3.74 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Provision for Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the ACL, a provision of $9.5 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026, of which $9.4 million related to the provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a provision of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which included a $5.2 million provision for credit losses on loans. The increase of $4.2 million, or 80.6%, in the provision for credit losses on loans was primarily driven by loan growth, additional specific reserves on PCD loans from our acquisition of Provident, larger peer commercial real estate credit losses impacting quantitative reserves, and an elevated qualitative factor risk grade for the commercial and industrial loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments increased $1.0 million, or 116.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of increased unfunded commitments.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.9 million, or 23.4%, to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from increased customer service fees of $1.7 million, or 33.3%, due to higher cash management, debit card and interchange fees.

Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased $13.3 million, or 35.3%, primarily from an $8.6 million increase in employee compensation expense, a $1.9 million increase in medical and dental benefits expense, a $1.3 million increase in employee bonus expense, a $539,000 increase in federal payroll taxes and a $577,000 increase in 401(k) match expenses driven by two quarters of increased headcount from the Provident acquisition and the hiring of additional employees consistent with our organic growth and a $1.0 million increase in employee stock compensation expense resulting from the original grants being awarded in April 2025 driving lower expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025, offset partially by a $1.2 million decrease in pension expenses due to completion of the plan liquidation during 2025.
General and administrative expenses increased $4.8 million, or 136.9%, primarily driven by our acquisition of Provident resulting in $1.7 million in additional core deposit intangible amortization expense. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses were $672,000 in increased tax credit amortization expense, $299,000 in increased trailing Provident acquisition expenses and $224,000 in increased education and training expenses, $148,000 in increased travel expenses, $165,000 in increased utilities expenses, $124,000 in armored courier expenses, $124,000 in loan workout expenses and $123,000 in increased bank supplies expense, all of which were driven by our acquisition of Provident. Data processing expenses increased $4.1 million, or 77.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily the result of our significant investment in technology and systems, as well as two full quarters of increased transactional volume from the Provident acquisition.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $2.8 million, or 54.5%, primarily driven by our acquisition of Provident, as well as, the opening of two new branches. Marketing and charitable contribution expenses increased $1.9 million, or 62.8%, primarily driven by our continued community investment, our acquisition of Provident and the opening of two new branches.

Management of Market Risk
General. The Bank’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk as the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our ERM Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our Board of Directors. The ERM Committee meets at least quarterly, is comprised of directors, executive officers and certain members of senior management, and reports to the full Board of Directors on at least a quarterly basis. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
51
Shortening the average term of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term assets, as well as originating loans with variable interest rates, helps to match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities better, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.
On occasion, we have employed various financial risk methodologies that are intended to limit, or “hedge,” the adverse effects of rising or decreasing interest rates on our loan portfolios and short-term liabilities. We also engage in hedging strategies with respect to arrangements where our customers swap floating interest rate obligations for fixed interest rate obligations, or vice versa. Our hedging activity varies based on the level and volatility of interest rates and other changing market conditions.
Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We first estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by various basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100-basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column in the table below.
The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

The table above indicates that as of June 30, 2026, we would have experienced a 4.1% increase in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 2.6% decrease in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). We also compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities, or EVE, would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value.
The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases instantaneously by 100, 200 and 300 basis point increments or decreases instantaneously by 100, 200 and 300 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve.
The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

The table above indicates that as of June 30, 2026, we would have experienced a 4.7% decrease in EVE in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 0.5% increase in EVE in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The net interest income and EVE tables presented above assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates, and actual results may differ materially. Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits, derivatives and borrowings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We are also able to borrow from the FHLB and the Discount Window at the FRB. As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding advances of $181.2 million from the FHLB. As of June 30, 2026, we had unused borrowing capacity of $762.0 million with the FHLB. At June 30, 2026, the Bank had $1.12 billion available from the discount window under the Borrower in Custody (“BIC”) program at the FRB. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, we had $719.9 million of brokered deposits and pursuant to our internal liquidity policy, which allows us to utilize brokered deposits up to 25.0% of our total assets, we had an additional capacity of up to approximately $1.14 billion of brokered deposits. Uninsured deposits were $1.78 billion and $1.66 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
At June 30, 2026, we had $16.7 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans. In addition, we had $816.1 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers, $509.5 million in unused mortgage warehouse lines, $389.6 million in unadvanced construction loans and $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding.
Non-brokered certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2026 totaled $1.93 billion, or 30.5%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including brokered deposits, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the non-brokered certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2026, or on our other interest-bearing deposit accounts. We believe, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates that we will retain upon maturity a large portion of our certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of June 30, 2026.
Our primary investing activity is originating loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we originated $428.4 million of loans, net of repayments.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances. We experienced net increases in total deposits of $466.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the level of brokered time deposits was $719.9 million and $535.7 million, respectively. Deposit flows are affected primarily by the overall level of interest rates and the interest rates and products offered by us and our competitors. FHLB advances decreased $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
For additional information, see the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 included as part of the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We continuously monitor our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate by management. Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management process. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding problems resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into our contingency funding planning process, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. In addition, based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.
As of June 30, 2026, Needham Bank and the Company exceeded all of their regulatory capital requirements, and were categorized as well-capitalized at that date. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification of well-capitalized status that would change our category. See Note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related data presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
