Priscilla Sims Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a record breaking quarter for deposit gathering, generating nearly $1 billion of new deposits across all of our customer segments. This demonstrates the mission-aligned, differentiated competitive advantage that only Amalgamated possesses.

Fourth Quarter Earnings

Net income was $26.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $26.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. The $0.2 million decrease during the quarter was primarily driven by a $3.8 million loss on a pool sale of low-yielding residential loans, and an expected $2.8 million increase in non-interest expense. This was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in ICS One Way Sell fee income from off-balance sheet deposits, a $1.4 million increase in net interest income, a $0.7 million decrease in losses on securities sales, as well as a $3.3 million decrease in income tax expense.

Core net income1 was $30.0 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared to $27.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. As shown in the table below, a net loss of $2.7 million related to non-core income items, and $1.4 million of non-core expense items was excluded in the calculation of core net income in the fourth quarter. For additional details on each component item within the non-core income and expense figures listed below, please see the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation included at the end of this document.

Net interest income was $77.9 million compared to $76.4 million for the prior quarter. Loan interest income decreased $0.6 million, and loan yields decreased 11 basis points as expected, mainly as a result of an interest income recapture recognized in the third quarter. Adjusted loan yields rose modestly during the quarter by 1 basis point as average balances increased $60.8 million, partially offset by downward repricing due to Federal Reserve Bank rate cuts. Interest income on securities decreased $1.0 million driven by a 4 basis point decrease in securities yield related to interest rate resets. Interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits decreased $3.1 million driven primarily by a 14 basis point decrease in cost, paired with a decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits of $224.2 million. The decrease in cost was primarily related to movement of $789.2 million of ICS deposits off-balance sheet, as well as repricing on money market products and select non-time deposit accounts in tandem with the Federal Reserve Bank rate cuts. Non-interest bearing demand accounts increased $323.0 million.

Net interest margin was 3.66%, an increase of 6 basis points from 3.60% in the prior quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a notable 322 basis point improvement in the ratio of non-interest bearing to interest-bearing deposits to 40.7%, as well as decreases in total deposit costs mentioned above. Additionally, income from prepayment penalties had a 4 basis point impact on net interest margin in the current quarter, compared to no impact in the prior quarter.

Provision for credit losses totaled an expense of $5.5 million compared to an expense of $5.3 million in the prior quarter. The expense in the quarter was primarily driven by expected consumer charge-offs, an additional charge-offs related to a planned note sale on a non-performing multifamily loan, as well as increases to specific reserves on three related multifamily loans that moved to nonaccrual status during the quarter.

Non-interest income was $7.3 million, compared to $9.2 million in the prior quarter. Excluding the non-core income and expense adjustments noted above, core non-interest income1 was $10.1 million, compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter with commercial banking fees and income from the trust business improving modestly.

Non-interest expense was $46.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million from the prior quarter. Core non-interest expense1 was $44.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the prior quarter. This was mainly driven by an expected $1.0 million increase in data processing expense related to the Bank’s continued investment in digital transformation development. Core efficiency ratio1 was 51.13% during the quarter, and remained within range of our guidance threshold of 52% throughout all of 2025.

The provision for income tax expense was $6.6 million, compared to $9.9 million for prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 19.9%, compared to 27.0% for the prior quarter. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily the result of the recognition of a $1.5 million tax credit, which also resulted in a YTD tax expense recapture of $1.0 million due to a lower annual effective tax rate. There were other discrete tax items which resulted in a net tax benefit, which also contributed to the lower effective tax rate for the quarter. Excluding these discrete items and the YTD tax expense recapture, the tax rate would have been 26.6%.

Excluding the benefit of the tax credit recognition, core net income would have been $27.4 million, or $0.91 per diluted share. The tax credit recorded this quarter reflects a new tax planning strategy under which credits will be recognized directly through the tax provision, rather than through non‑interest income as in prior periods. As a result, historical tax credit recognition will no longer be classified as non-core due to immateriality, and credits recognized under the current strategy will be recorded as core, consistent with their treatment this quarter.

Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary

Total assets were $8.9 billion at December 31, 2025, a $186.9 million, or 2.1%, increase compared to $8.7 billion at September 30, 2025. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $175.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily related to deposit growth across all segments, and a $159.5 million decrease in securities primarily from maturities and paydowns to fund net loan growth of $167.4 million. For liabilities, on-balance sheet deposits increased by $179.3 million, but average deposits were flat in connection with the off-balance sheet strategy. Off-balance sheet deposits increased by $789.2 million in the quarter. Equity grew by $18.9 million.

Total net loans receivable at December 31, 2025 were $4.9 billion, an increase of $167.4 million, or 3.5% for the quarter. The increase in loans was primarily driven by a $60.9 million increase in commercial and industrial loans and a $189.7 million increase in multifamily loans, partially offset by a $32.9 million decrease in the commercial real estate portfolio, our identified growth portfolios. Loans in non-growth mode decreased by $49.9 million, primarily due to a $10.4 million decrease in consumer solar loans from normal runoff, and a $39.6 million decrease in residential loans, primarily due to the noted loan pool sale.

Total on-balance sheet deposits were $7.9 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $179.2 million, or 2.3%, during the quarter. Including accounts held off-balance sheet, deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $286.9 million during the quarter. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 40% of average total deposits and 41% of ending total deposits for the quarter, contributing to an average cost of total deposits of 151 basis points. Super-core deposits totaled approximately $4.5 billion, had a weighted average life of 17 years, and comprised 57% of total deposits. Total uninsured deposits were $4.6 billion, comprising 58% of total deposits.

Nonperforming assets totaled $28.7 million, or 0.32% of period-end total assets, an increase of $5.7 million, compared with $23.0 million, or 0.26% of period-end total assets on a linked quarter basis. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by three multifamily loans that were put on nonaccrual status this quarter, totaling $10.3 million. This was partially offset by the charge-offs of one $2.8 million nonaccrual multifamily loan, and the charge-offs of one $1.0 million commercial real estate loan.

Criticized or classified loans increased $30.3 million largely related to the downgrade of 6 multifamily loans totaling $36.7 million and attributable to one borrower, as well as the downgrade of one $5.2 million construction loan and $0.2 million of small business loans. This was partially offset by the payoff of three commercial and industrial loans totaling $4.0 million, an upgrade of one $0.9 million commercial and industrial loan, the charge-offs of one $2.8 million multifamily loan moved to held for sale, one $1.0 million commercial real estate loan, and four additional small business loans totaling $0.4 million.

The allowance for credit losses on loans increased $1.1 million to $57.6 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.16%, a decrease of 2 basis points from 1.18% in the third quarter of 2025.

Capital Quarterly Summary

As of December 31, 2025, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 14.26%, Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.44%, and Tier-1 Leverage Capital ratio was 9.36%, compared to 14.21%, 16.41%, and 9.18%, respectively, as of September 30, 2025. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2025 was $794.5 million, an increase of $18.9 million during the quarter. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily driven by $26.6 million of net income for the quarter and a $3.1 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the tax effected mark-to-market adjustment on the available for sale securities portfolio. This was partially offset by $8.7 million of share buybacks and $4.3 million in dividends paid at $0.14 per outstanding share.

Tangible book value per share was $26.18 as of December 31, 2025 compared to $25.31 in the prior quarter. Tangible common equity improved to 8.81% of tangible assets, compared to 8.79% as of September 30, 2025.

This release (and the accompanying financial information and tables) refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, “Core operating revenue,” “Core non-interest expense,” “Core non-interest income,” “Core net income,” “Tangible common equity,” “Average tangible common equity,” “Core return on average assets,” “Core return on average tangible common equity,” “Core efficiency ratio,” “Super-core deposits,” “Tangible assets,” “Tangible book value,” and “Traditional securities.”

Management utilizes this information to compare the operating performance for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025 versus certain periods in 2025 and 2024 and to prepare internal projections. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of operating performance.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure.
