Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision was $41.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The linked quarter decrease reflects a 9 basis point decrease in net interest margin partially offset by a $47.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets. As compared to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income before provision increased by $10.9 million, which was driven primarily by a 7 basis point improvement in net interest margin and a $1.67 billion increase in average interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin was 2.42% for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 9 basis points compared to 2.51% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of 7 basis points compared to 2.35% in the first quarter of 2025. The linked quarter decrease was driven primarily by lower average yields on loans, which outpaced the decline in average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily by lower average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits.

Average interest-earning assets at March 31, 2026 increased by $47.6 million from December 31, 2025 and by $1.67 billion compared to March 31, 2025. The increases from both comparable periods reflect the strong growth in MPP and AIO balances, which are the only two portfolios the Company is strategically growing, partially offset by continued run-off in the remainder of the loan portfolio.

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a total provision (benefit) for credit losses (including both loans and unfunded commitments) of $445,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a provision (benefit) of $608,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and provision expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company's quarterly provision (benefit) for credit losses reflects net loan charge-offs, along with factors such as loan growth, portfolio mix, reserves on individually evaluated loans, credit migration trends, and changes in the economic forecasts used in the credit models.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses was $9.7 million at March 31, 2026, $10.4 million at December 31, 2025 and $12.3 million at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses represented 0.15% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2026, 0.17% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2025 and 0.24% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2025. The majority of the growth in the loans held for investment portfolio has come from MPP or AIO balances, with continued run-off in residential mortgage, construction, and other consumer / home equity loans, which carry higher average loss rates. In total, at March 31, 2026, residential mortgage, construction, and other consumer / home equity loans have decreased by $74.0 million from December 31, 2025 and by $245.4 million from March 31, 2025.

The total provision (benefit) for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 reflected net charge-offs of $266,000, and a $735,000 decrease in allowance for credit losses, which was primarily attributable to lower delinquent loans and continued run-off in the construction loan portfolio. The total provision (benefit) in the prior quarter reflected net charge-offs of $1.2 million, and a $2.6 million decrease in allowance for credit losses, which was primarily attributable to an improvement in the economic forecast. The total provision expense for credit losses in the prior year quarter reflected net charge-offs of $260,000, and a $1.1 million increase in allowance for credit losses primarily attributable to continued growth in the portfolio and credit migration trends.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $505,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $728,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

MPP fees, which are driven by total loans funded and participation balances, were $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, a slight decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $829,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily by higher levels of funded loans, along with higher levels of participations, in the MPP business.

Loan servicing fees were $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $2.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increases from both comparable periods reflect changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") primarily attributable to the movement in market interest rates during the respective periods.

Net gain on sale of loans was $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $18.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $18.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. Net gain on sale of loans includes the capitalization of new MSRs, changes in fair value of loans, and gains on the sale of loans.

The net gain on sale of loans for the first quarter of 2026 included a decrease of $1.2 million from the combined change in fair value of loans held for investment and lender risk account ("LRA"), which are both attributable to changes in market interest rates. Excluding these items (see Net Gain on Sale of Loans table below for a reconciliation), net gain on sale of loans was $17.8 million, up $1.2 million on a comparative basis from the fourth quarter of 2025 and up $2.9 million on a comparative basis from the first quarter of 2025. The increases from both comparable periods reflect higher levels of residential mortgage interest rate lock commitments.

Other non-interest income (loss) was a net loss of $184,000 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $73,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025 and a gain of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The linked quarter decrease was driven primarily by higher net valuation losses on other real estate owned. The decrease compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily a $2.0 million gain recognized on debt extinguishment in the first quarter of 2025. There was no such gain in the first quarter of 2026.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $34.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $658,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $5.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The linked quarter increase was driven primarily by higher salaries and benefits and the increase compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily by higher salaries and benefits expense.

Salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.2 million on a linked quarter basis, and increased by $3.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The linked quarter increase was driven primarily by higher bonus and incentive compensation and the increase compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily by higher variable compensation on both the MPP business and mortgage production, along with higher bonus and incentive expense and employee benefits.

Other taxes and insurance decreased by $372,000 on a linked quarter basis, and increased by $450,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The changes for both comparable periods were driven primarily by FDIC assessment expense, which fluctuates with changes in assets, wholesale funding mix and utilization of capital.

Other non-interest expense decreased by $116,000 on a linked quarter basis, and increased by $523,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was driven primarily by additional expenses associated with the Company's private label outsourcing of its non-specialized mortgage servicing to a scaled sub-servicer.

Taxes

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.3 million, compared to $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The Company's effective tax rate was 24.72% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 26.04% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 23.67% for the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025 includes additional income tax expense related to non-deductible compensation tax rules for publicly traded companies.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets were $7.40 billion at March 31, 2026, representing an increase of $373.1 million compared to December 31, 2025 and an increase of $1.54 billion compared to March 31, 2025. The increases for both comparable periods were driven primarily by growth in loans.

Gross loans held for investment were $6.41 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $389.7 million, or 26% annualized, compared to December 31, 2025 and an increase of $1.26 billion, or 25%, compared to March 31, 2025. The increases for both comparable periods were driven primarily by growth in MPP balances and AIO loans, which were partially offset by decreases in the remainder of the loans held for investment portfolio. The Company continues to focus on growing these two main portfolios. Outside of these two portfolios, no other significant loans are being added to the loans held for investment portfolio. At March 31, 2026, virtually all of the loan portfolio was comprised of loans collateralized by residential property.

Loans held for sale totaled $297.2 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $309.2 million at December 31, 2025 and $207.6 million at March 31, 2025, and reflect the timing of closing saleable residential mortgage originations.

Total deposits were $5.00 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $131.8 million, or 11% annualized, compared to December 31, 2025 and an increase of $1.18 billion, or 31%, compared to March 31, 2025. The linked quarter increase was driven primarily by a $267.4 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits, reflecting normal seasonality in custodial deposit balances, as well as higher levels of brokered network deposits. As compared to March 31, 2025, the increase was driven primarily by a higher level of brokered CDs, and growth in the Company's diversified digital deposit banking platform including two new deposit relationships added during 2025.

Total borrowings were $1.63 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $192.0 million compared to December 31, 2025 and an increase of $260.3 million compared to March 31, 2025. The increases for both comparable periods reflect the Company's usage of short-term lines of credit to meet liquidity needs.

Subordinated debentures were $111.9 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $20.0 million compared to December 31, 2025, reflecting the new Subordinated Notes issued during the first quarter of 2026 (described above). As compared to March 31, 2025, subordinated debentures increased by $87.7 million, reflecting both the Subordinated Notes issued during the first quarter of 2026 and the $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of a new 7.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes issued during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs were $266,000, or 2 basis points annualized as a percentage of average loans, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to $1.2 million, or 8 basis points annualized as a percentage of average loans, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $260,000, or 2 basis points annualized as a percentage of average loans, for the first quarter of 2025. The higher level of net charge-offs in the linked quarter was largely attributable to losses on several mortgage and construction loans.

A substantial portion of the Company's non-performing loans are wholly or partially guaranteed by the U.S. Government, so asset quality metrics within this earnings release are shown with and without these guaranteed loans. Non-performing assets were $90.7 million at March 31, 2026 ($63.4 million excluding guaranteed loans), $92.7 million at December 31, 2025 ($64.4 million excluding guaranteed loans) and $87.8 million at March 31, 2025 ($57.7 million excluding guaranteed loans). Non-performing assets represented 1.23% of total assets at March 31, 2026 (0.86% excluding guaranteed loans), 1.32% at December 31, 2025 (0.92% excluding guaranteed loans) and 1.50% at March 31, 2025 (0.99% excluding guaranteed loans).

Capital

At March 31, 2026, the estimated capital levels for the Company and its subsidiary bank, Northpointe Bank (the “Bank”), remained well in excess of the minimum amounts needed for capital adequacy purposes and the Bank’s capital levels met the necessary requirements to be considered "well-capitalized". The regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2026 are estimates, pending completion and filing of the Bank's regulatory reports.

Statements in this earnings release regarding future events and our expectations and beliefs about our future financial performance and financial condition, as well as trends in our business and markets, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are made for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and may be identified by references to a future period or periods by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The forward-looking statements in this earnings release should not be relied on because they are based on current information and on assumptions that we make about future events and circumstances that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond our control. As a result of those risks and uncertainties, and other factors, our actual financial results in the future could differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this earnings release and could cause us to amend our future plans. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of current and future economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, tariffs or trade wars (including reduced consumer spending, lower economic growth or recession, reduced demand for U.S. exports, disruptions to supply chains, and decreased demand for other banking products and services), high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures, increasing insurance costs, volatile interest rates, including the impact of changes in interest rates on our financial projections, models and guidance and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial stress on borrowers as a result of the foregoing; uncertain duration of trade conflicts; potential impacts of adverse developments in the banking and mortgage industries, including impacts on deposits, liquidity and the regulatory rules and regulations; risks arising from media coverage of the banking and mortgage industries; risks arising from perceived instability in the banking and mortgage sectors; changes in the interest rate environment, including changes to the federal funds rate, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s profitability; changes in prices, values and sales volumes of residential real estate; developments in our mortgage banking business, including loan modifications, general demand, and the effects of judicial or regulatory requirements or guidance; competition in our markets that may result in increased funding costs or reduced earning assets yields, thus reducing margins and net interest income; legislation or regulatory changes which could adversely affect the ability of the consolidated Company to conduct business combinations or new operations; changes in tax laws; significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets and the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment securities; significant volatility in the markets for equity, fixed income and other asset classes globally or within specific markets; the ability to keep pace with technological changes, including changes regarding maintaining cybersecurity and managing the risks, regulatory uncertainty and operational impacts associated with generative artificial intelligence; increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions as well as fintech companies and other non-bank financial service providers offering digital, automated or alternative financial products and services; the impact of a failure in, or breach of, the Company's operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom the Company does business, including as a result of cyber-attacks or an increase in the incidence or severity of fraud, illegal payments, security breaches or other illegal acts impacting the Company or the Company's customers; the effects of war or other conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East; major political shifts domestically or internationally (including the potential for retaliatory actions by governments, market participants or clients based on diverging perspectives or otherwise and, separately, the recent shutdown of the U.S. federal government); and adverse results from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions, including as a result of the Company’s participation in and execution of government programs, and legislative, regulatory or supervisory actions related to so‑called “de‑banking,” including any new prohibitions, requirements or enforcement priorities that could affect customer relationships, compliance obligations, or operational practices.

Therefore, the Company can give no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial performance are subject is contained in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in other documents that we file with the SEC from time to time, which are available on the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this earnings release or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements, express or implied, included in this earnings release are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The measures entitled tangible common equity, tangible book value, tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are stockholders’ equity, book value per share, total assets, equity to assets and return on average equity, respectively.

The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however the Company acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations. As such, these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.

The Company calculates tangible common equity as stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (net of deferred tax liability ("DTL")) and preferred stock. The Company calculates tangible book value ("TBV") per share as tangible common equity divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The Company calculates tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets (net of DTL). The Company calculates tangible common equity/tangible assets as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. The Company calculates return on average tangible common equity as annualized net income available to common stockholders divided by average tangible equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are outlined in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
