NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
BankUnited, Inc. is a bank holding company with one wholly-owned subsidiary, BankUnited, collectively, the Company. BankUnited, a national banking association headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, provides a full range of commercial lending and both commercial and consumer deposit services through banking centers located in the state of Florida, the New York metropolitan area and Dallas. The Bank offers a full suite of commercial lending and deposit products through regional commercial banking offices in Atlanta, Charlotte and Morristown, New Jersey, and certain commercial lending and deposit products through national platforms.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in BKU’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.
The Company has a single operating segment and thus a single reportable segment. The Company’s CEO is the CODM. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams and deposit and loan balances of its lines of business, the business lines serve a similar base of primarily commercial clients and provide a comparable range of products and services, all managed through similar processes and platforms. The CODM regularly assesses the performance of its single operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The CODM reviews expense information at the same level of detail as that disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
The most significant estimate impacting the Company's consolidated financial statements is the ACL.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2024-03—Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosure in interim and annual periods about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows but may lead to additional disclosures about expenses in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2025-06—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU eliminates the prior stage-based model for capitalization of internal-use software costs and replaces it with a principles-based approach that requires capitalization once management has approved and committed funding for a project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will function as intended. The ASU is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
ASU 2025‑08 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The ASU amends the accounting for certain acquired loans by expanding the CECL gross‑up approach—previously applicable only to PCD loans—to a newly defined class of purchased seasoned loans ("PSL"). PSLs generally include non‑PCD loans acquired in a business combination or those meeting defined seasoning criteria. Under the amended guidance, the Company will recognize the initial allowance for credit losses on PSLs as an adjustment to the loan's amortized cost basis rather than recording a Day 1 provision expense. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
The Company monitors its investment securities available for sale for credit loss impairment on an individual security basis. No securities were determined to be credit loss impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have an intent to sell securities that were in significant unrealized loss positions, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. In making this determination, the Company considered its current and projected liquidity position including its ability to pledge securities to generate liquidity, its investment policy as to permissible holdings and concentration limits, regulatory requirements and other relevant factors.
At March 31, 2026, 362 securities available for sale were in unrealized loss positions. The amount of unrealized losses related to 109 of these securities was considered insignificant both individually and in the aggregate, totaling approximately $1.0 million and no further analysis with respect to these securities was considered necessary. The basis for concluding that AFS securities were not credit loss impaired and no ACL was considered necessary at March 31, 2026, is further discussed below.
Unrealized losses were primarily attributable to a sustained higher interest rate environment and in some cases, wider spreads compared to levels at which securities were purchased. The investment securities AFS portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $274.1 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $267.1 million at December 31, 2025, declining by $6.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. While the majority of securities in the portfolio were floating rate at March 31, 2026, fixed rate securities accounted for the majority of unrealized losses.
U.S. Government, U.S. Government Agency and Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities
At March 31, 2026, 12 U.S. treasury, 40 U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise residential MBS, 28 U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise commercial MBS and 14 SBA securities were in unrealized loss positions. The timely payment of principal and interest on these securities is explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government. As such, there is an assumption of zero credit loss and the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of these securities.
Private Label Securities
None of the impaired private label securities had missed principal or interest payments or had been downgraded by a NRSRO at March 31, 2026. The Company performed an analysis comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of impaired securities. This analysis was based on a scenario that we believe to be generally more conservative than our reasonable and supportable economic forecast at March 31, 2026, and incorporated assumptions about voluntary prepayment rates, collateral defaults, delinquencies, severity and other relevant factors as described further below. Our analysis also considered the structural characteristics of each security and the level of credit enhancement provided by that structure.
Private label residential MBS and CMOs
At March 31, 2026, 118 private label residential MBS and CMOs were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, voluntary prepayment rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. In developing those assumptions, we took into account collateral quality measures such as FICO, LTV, documentation, loan type, property type, agency availability criteria and performing status. We also regularly monitor sector data including home price appreciation, forbearance, delinquency, special servicing and prepay trends as well as other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. Underlying delinquencies in this sector remain low. Our March 31, 2026 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 2.8% compared to weighted average credit support of 18.7%. As of March 31, 2026, 91% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 3% were rated AA, 4% were rated A and one security was not externally rated.

Private label commercial MBS
At March 31, 2026, 20 private label commercial MBS were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, voluntary prepayment rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. In developing those assumptions, we took into account collateral quality and type, loan size, loan purpose and other qualitative factors. We also regularly monitor collateral concentrations, collateral watch lists, bankruptcy data, defeasance data, special servicing trends, delinquency and other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. We consider collateral, deal, sector and tranche level performance as well as maturity and refinance risk. While we have observed some deterioration in collateral performance in this segment, particularly in the office sector, the high credit quality of these securities and adequacy of subordination to cover projected collateral losses supports the conclusion that there is no credit loss impairment. Our March 31, 2026 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 7.4% compared to weighted average credit support of 42.1%. As of March 31, 2026, 80% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 10% were rated AA and 10% were rated A. There was no single-asset, single-borrower exposure.
Single family real estate-backed securities
At March 31, 2026, five single family real estate-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. We regularly monitor sector data including home price appreciation, forbearance, delinquency and prepay trends as well as other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. We consider collateral, deal, sector and tranche level performance as well as maturity and refinance risk. Our March 31, 2026 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for this category of 6.4% compared to weighted average credit support of 60.3%. As of March 31, 2026, 55% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA and 45% were rated AA.
Collateralized loan obligations
At March 31, 2026, eight collateralized loan obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Unrealized losses totaled less than 1% of total amortized cost of this segment at March 31, 2026. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, and delinquencies, calibrated to take into account idiosyncratic risks associated with the underlying collateral. In developing those assumptions, we took into account each sector’s performance pre-, during and post the 2008 financial crisis. We regularly engage with bond managers to monitor trends in underlying collateral including potential downgrades and subsequent cash flow diversions, liquidity, ratings migration, and any other relevant developments. The high credit quality of these securities and adequacy of subordination to cover projected collateral losses supports the conclusion that there is no credit loss impairment. Our March 31, 2026 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 15.1% compared to weighted average credit support of 41.4%. As of March 31, 2026, 87% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 13% were rated AA.
Non-mortgage asset-backed securities
At March 31, 2026, three non-mortgage asset-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. These securities are backed by student loan collateral. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, delinquencies, voluntary prepayment rates and recovery lag. In developing assumptions, we took into account collateral type, delineated by whether collateral consisted of loans to borrowers in school, refinancing, or a mixture. Our March 31, 2026 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 3.4% compared to weighted average credit support of 35.3%. As of March 31, 2026, 21% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 79% were rated AA.
State and Municipal Obligations
At March 31, 2026, five state and municipal obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of potential credit loss impairment for these securities incorporates a comprehensive analysis and quantitative score of the underlying obligor's credit worthiness provided by a third-party vendor as well as other relevant qualitative considerations. As of March 31, 2026, 8% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 92% were rated AA.

The ACL was determined utilizing a 2-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. The quantitative portion of the ACL was determined by weighting three third-party provided economic scenarios.
The ACL was 0.87% of total loans at March 31, 2026 compared to 0.91% at December 31, 2025. The two most significant factors impacting the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were net charge-offs, partially offset by increases in specific reserves. The ACL was also impacted, although to a lesser extent, by an increase in certain qualitative factors and decreases related to (i) improvement in the economic forecast, (ii) changes in portfolio composition and borrower financial performance and (iii) routine modeling and assumption updates.

Credit quality information
Credit quality of loans held for investment is continuously monitored by dedicated commercial portfolio management and residential credit risk management functions. The Company also has a workout and recovery department that monitors the credit quality of criticized and classified loans and an independent internal credit review function.
Credit quality indicators for commercial loans
Factors that impact risk inherent in commercial portfolio segments include but are not limited to levels of economic activity or potential disruptions in economic activity, health of the national, regional and to a lesser extent global economies, interest rates, industry trends, demographic trends, inflationary trends, including particularly for commercial real estate loans the cost of insurance, patterns of and trends in customer behavior that influence demand for our borrowers' products and services, and commercial real estate values and related market dynamics. Particularly for the office sector, the evolving impact of hybrid and remote work on vacancies and valuations is a factor. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for commercial loans. Internal risk ratings are one indicator of the likelihood that a borrower will default, are a key factor influencing the level and nature of ongoing monitoring of loans and may impact the estimation of the ACL. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis. Generally, relationships with balances greater than $3 million are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. The special mention rating is considered a transitional rating for loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that could result in deterioration of repayment prospects at some future date if not checked or corrected and that deserve management’s close attention. These borrowers may exhibit declining cash flows or revenues or increasing leverage. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses that may result in a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected are assigned a risk rating of substandard. These borrowers may exhibit payment defaults, inadequate cash flows from current operations, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, exhausted interest reserves, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts or past due real estate taxes. Loans with weaknesses so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable, but because of certain reasonably specific pending factors have not been charged off, are assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

Credit quality indicators for residential loans
Management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of residential loans, other than government insured residential loans. Delinquency status is updated at least monthly. LTV and FICO scores are also important indicators of credit quality for 1-4 single family residential loans other than government insured loans. FICO scores are generally updated semi-annually, and were most recently updated in the first quarter of 2026. LTVs are typically at origination. Substantially all of the government insured residential loans are government insured Buyout Loans, which the Company buys out of GNMA securitizations upon default. For these loans, traditional measures of credit quality are not particularly relevant considering the guaranteed nature of the loans and the underlying business model. Factors that impact risk inherent in the residential portfolio segment include national and regional economic conditions such as levels of unemployment, wages and interest rates, as well as residential property values.

March 31, 2026
As of March 31, 2026, the amount of net loss expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months was $1.1 million, based on the forward curve. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts with certain of its commercial borrowers to enable those borrowers to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate interest rate risk associated with these derivative contracts, the Company enters into offsetting derivative contract positions with primary dealers. In addition, the Company purchases and sells credit protection under RPAs with the objective of sharing with financial institution counterparties some of the credit exposure related to interest rate derivative contracts entered into with commercial borrowers related to participations purchased or sold. The Company will make or receive payments under these agreements if a customer defaults on an obligation to perform under certain interest rate derivative contracts. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward derivative contracts with commercial borrowers to enable borrowers to manage their exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into offsetting forward contracts with primary dealers to mitigate the foreign currency risk associated with these contracts.
These derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings. Fees recognized related to these derivative instruments were $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and are included in "capital markets income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its commercial customer derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit rating and financial information. The Company manages dealer credit risk by entering into derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, the use of ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral arrangements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its commercial borrower counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company does not currently anticipate any significant losses from failure of derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

The notional amount and fair value of the foreign currency forward derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments were not significant at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Some of the Company’s ISDA master agreements with financial institution counterparties contain provisions that permit either counterparty to terminate the agreements and require settlement in the event that regulatory capital ratios fall below certain designated thresholds, upon the initiation of other defined regulatory actions or upon suspension or withdrawal of the Bank’s credit rating. Currently, there are no circumstances that would trigger these provisions of the agreements.

Note 8 Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.
Investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities—Fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in active markets when available; these measurements are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities typically include U.S. Treasury securities and certain preferred stocks. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, quoted prices of identical securities in less active markets, discounted cash flow techniques, or matrix pricing models. These securities are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and typically include all categories of investment securities not classified within level 1 of the hierarchy. Pricing of these securities is generally primarily spread driven. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, reported trades, dealer quotes, bids, issuer spreads, current rating, historical constant prepayment rates, historical voluntary prepayment rates, structural and waterfall features of individual securities, published collateral data, and for certain securities, historical constant default rates and default severities.
The Company uses third-party pricing services in determining fair value measurements for investment securities. To obtain an understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used, management reviews written documentation provided by the pricing services, conducts interviews with valuation desk personnel and reviews model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Management has established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by the treasury front office of all prices provided on a quarterly basis. Any price evidencing significant unexpected quarter-over-quarter fluctuations or deviations from expectations is challenged. The Company has also established a quarterly process whereby prices provided by its primary pricing service are validated by obtaining a price from a second external source for most securities in the portfolio. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from an additional independent valuation source. The Company does not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. The results of price challenges are subject to review by executive management. Any price discrepancies are resolved based on careful consideration of the assumptions and inputs employed by each of the pricing sources.
Derivative financial instruments—Fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined using widely accepted discounted cash flow modeling techniques. These discounted cash flow models use projections of future cash payments and receipts that are discounted at mid-market rates. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these instruments include benchmark swap rates and benchmark forward yield curves. These fair value measurements are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified:
Collateral dependent loans and OREO—The carrying amount of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may be real estate, enterprise value or other business assets, less estimated costs to sell when repayment is expected to come from the sale of the collateral. The carrying value of OREO is initially measured based on the fair value of the real estate acquired in foreclosure and subsequently adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Fair values of real estate collateral and OREO are typically based on third-party real estate appraisals which utilize market and income approaches to valuation incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs.
Fair value measurements related to collateral dependent loans and OREO are generally classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents the net carrying value of assets classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated, for which non-recurring changes in fair value were recorded during the period then ended (in thousands):

Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies
The Company issues off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to fund loans, unfunded commitments under existing lines of credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit. These commitments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and are subject to the same credit policies used in underwriting loans. Collateral may be obtained based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

Commitments to fund loans
These are agreements to lend funds to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to fund loans generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial and commercial real estate lines of credit to existing customers, for many of which additional extensions of credit are subject to borrowing base requirements. Some of these commitments may mature without being fully funded, some may not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
Commercial and standby letters of credit
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Total lending related commitments outstanding at March 31, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Commitments to fund loans | $ | 308,692 | |||

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the adverse impact of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview
Quarterly Highlights
In evaluating our financial performance, we consider (i) the funding mix and the composition of interest earning assets; (ii) the level of and trends in net interest income and the net interest margin; (iii) the cost of deposits, trends in non-interest income and non-interest expense; (iv) performance ratios such as the return on average equity and return on average assets and trends in those metrics; and (v) asset quality metrics, including the level of criticized and classified assets, the ratios of non-performing loans to total loans and non-performing assets to total assets, delinquency and net charge-off rates, as well as trends in those metrics. We analyze these ratios and trends against our own historical performance, our expected performance, our risk appetite and the financial condition and performance of comparable financial institutions.
Quarterly Highlights include:
•Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $61.9 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $69.3 million, or $0.90, per diluted share for the immediately preceding three months ended December 31, 2025 and $58.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025. PPNR increased by 12%, to $106.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the annualized ROAA was 0.72% and annualized ROAE was 8.1%.
•The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, declined to 2.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.06% for the immediately preceding quarter, reflecting seasonal trends; however the net interest margin increased 18 bps from 2.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the net interest margin from the immediately preceding quarter was primarily a result of variable rate assets repricing faster than continued improvement in funding cost and funding mix dynamics.
•The average cost of total deposits declined to 2.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 2.18% for the immediately preceding quarter, and 2.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The spot APY of total deposits declined to 2.09% at March 31, 2026 from 2.10% at December 31, 2025.
•Total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, grew by $277 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. NIDDA declined by $166 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to seasonality, and represented 30% of total deposits at March 31, 2026. NIDDA grew by $875 million compared to March 31, 2025, one year ago.
32
•Wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits, declined by $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
•Total loans declined by $139 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Core loans increased by $9 million, impacted by seasonally low commercial volume in the first quarter. Residential, franchise, equipment and municipal finance portfolios declined by a combined $148 million reflective of our balance sheet repositioning strategy.
•The loan to deposit ratio declined to 82.3% at March 31, 2026, from 82.7% at December 31, 2025.
•Total criticized and classified loans declined by $146 million, or 12%, while non-performing loans declined by $98 million, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The NPA ratio at March 31, 2026 was 0.79%, including 0.10% related to the guaranteed portion of non-performing SBA loans, compared to 1.08% including 0.11% related to the guaranteed portion of non-performing SBA loans at December 31, 2025. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 0.61%; the net charge-off for the trailing twelve months was 0.37%.
•The ratio of the ACL to total loans declined to 0.87% at March 31, 2026, from 0.91% at December 31, 2025. The ratio of the ACL to non-performing loans increased to 75.90% at March 31, 2026 from 58.99% at December 31, 2025, reflecting the decline in non-performing loans. The provision for credit losses was $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•At March 31, 2026, CET1 was 12.2%. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.3%.
•Book value and tangible book value per common share were, $41.11 and $40.05, respectively, at March 31, 2026, compared to $41.19 and $40.14, respectively, at December 31, 2025.
•During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $60.0 million. In January 2026, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million in shares of its outstanding common stock.
•The Company announced an increase of $0.02 per share in its common stock dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2026, to $0.33 per common share, a 6% increase from the previous level of $0.31 per share.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities and is the primary driver of core earnings. Net interest income is impacted by the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the ratio of interest earning assets to total assets and of interest bearing liabilities to total funding sources, movements in market interest rates and monetary policy, the shape of the yield curve, levels of non-performing assets and pricing pressure from competitors.
The mix of interest earning assets is influenced by loan demand, market and competitive conditions in our primary lending markets, by management's continual assessment of the rate of return and relative risk associated with various classes of earning assets and liquidity considerations. The mix of funding sources is influenced by the Company's liquidity profile, management's assessment of the desire for lower-cost funding sources weighed against relationships with customers, our ability to attract and retain core deposit relationships, competition for deposits in the Company's markets and the availability and pricing of other sources of funds.
33
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information about (i) average balances, the total dollar amount of taxable equivalent interest income from earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. Non-accrual loans are included in the average balances presented in this table; however, interest income foregone on non-accrual loans is not included. Interest income, yields, spread and margin have been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis for loans and investment securities that are exempt from federal income taxes, at a federal tax rate of 21% (dollars in thousands):

(1)On a tax-equivalent basis where applicable. The tax-equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt loans was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The tax-equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt investment securities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025.
(2)Annualized.
(3)At fair value.
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $252.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $261.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $9.3 million. The decrease was comprised of decreases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $20.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decline in interest income was primarily due to lower yields on earning assets as coupon rates on floating rate instruments reset down, and was further impacted by lower SOFR/Fed fund basis. The decline in interest expense primarily related to a lower average cost of funds.
34
The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.06% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decline reflected variable rate assets repricing faster than the continued improvement in funding cost and funding mix dynamics. Factors impacting the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 included:
•The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 4.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 4.93% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily impacted by resets on variable rate securities.
•The tax-equivalent yield on loans decreased to 5.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 5.37% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, reflecting the impact of declining market rates on the predominantly floating-rate commercial loan portfolio.
•The average cost of interest bearing deposits decreased to 3.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as we continued to reduce deposit pricing in response to a lower federal fund rate. The average cost of interest bearing deposits was impacted by seasonal declines in average NIDDA, which resulted in increased reliance on higher-cost wholesale funding, including brokered deposits.
•The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased to 3.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.84% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, driven by repayment of higher rate short-term advances, partially offset by the maturities of some cash flow hedges.
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $252.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $236.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $15.8 million. The increase was comprised of decreases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $21.6 million and $37.4 million, respectively.
The decrease in tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended three months ended March 31, 2025 was attributable to a decrease in the yields on interest earnings assets. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was attributable to decreases in both average balance and cost of interest bearing liabilities.
The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 2.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 2.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily a result of balance sheet repositioning, particularly an improved funding mix. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, average NIDDA grew by $1.1 billion while average FHLB advances declined by $797 million. Average NIDDA was 29.7% of average total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Within interest bearing deposits, there was a shift from generally higher priced time deposits to generally lower priced forms of interest bearing deposits. On the asset side of the balance sheet, average core loans increased to 67.9% of average loans from 64.8% of average loans, while residential loans declined to 29.1% of average loans from 31.4% of average loans.
Decreased yields on average interest earnings assets as well as the decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities were primarily attributable to rate cuts throughout the later part of 2025.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is a charge or credit to earnings required to maintain the ACL at a level consistent with management’s estimate of expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost at the balance sheet date. The amount of the provision is impacted by changes in current economic conditions as well as in management's reasonable and supportable economic forecast, loan originations and runoff, changes in portfolio mix, risk rating migration and portfolio seasoning, changes in specific reserves, changes in expected prepayment speeds and other assumptions. The provision for credit losses also includes amounts related to off-balance sheet credit exposures and may include amounts related to accrued interest receivable and AFS debt securities.

The following table presents the components of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated (in thousands):

| Amount related to off-balance sheet credit exposures | (517) | (852) | |||||||||
| Total provision for credit losses | $ | 24,586 | $ | 15,111 | |||||||
The most significant factor impacting the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase in specific reserves, primarily related to two C&I loans in unrelated industries.
The provision for credit losses may be volatile and the level of the ACL may change materially from current levels. Future levels of the ACL could be significantly impacted, in either direction, by changes in factors such as, but not limited to, economic conditions or the economic outlook, the composition of the loan portfolio, the financial condition of our borrowers and collateral values.
The determination of the amount of the ACL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See “Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses” below for more information about how we determine the appropriate level of the ACL and about factors that impacted the level of the ACL.

The increase in compensation was primarily attributable to increased head count as we invest in the growth of the franchise and routine salary increases. Employee compensation and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes an additional $5.4 million compensation related expense.
The decrease in deposit insurance expense was primarily attributable to a $6.7 million release of FDIC special assessment accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2026. A lower base assessment rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, also contributed to the decline in deposit insurance expense.
Analysis of Financial Condition
We have continued to execute on our organic balance sheet transformation strategy, focused on improving both the funding profile and asset mix. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total deposits remained relatively stable, increasing by $7 million, while non-brokered deposits increased by $277 million over the same period. Wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits, declined by $70 million. NIDDA declined by $166 million representing 30% of total deposits, primarily due to seasonality. Year-over-year, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, average NIDDA increased by $1.1 billion, consistent with continued progress in improving our funding profile.
Total loans declined by $139 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to seasonally low commercial volume and continued runoff of non-core loans. Core loans increased by $9 million while the residential, franchise, equipment and municipal finance portfolios declined by $148 million. The securities portfolio grew by $242 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 82.3% at March 31, 2026 compared to 82.7% at December 31, 2025.

Our investment strategy is focused on ensuring adequate liquidity, maintaining a suitable balance of high credit quality, diverse assets, managing interest rate risk, and generating acceptable returns given our established risk parameters. We have sought to maintain liquidity by investing a significant portion of the portfolio in high quality liquid securities including U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency and sponsored enterprise securities. We have also invested in highly-rated structured products, including private-label commercial and residential MBS, CLOs, single family real estate-backed securities and non-mortgage asset-backed securities that, while somewhat less liquid, are generally pledgeable at either the FHLB or the FRB and provide us with attractive yields. Investment grade municipal securities provide liquidity and attractive tax-equivalent yields. We remain committed to keeping the duration of our securities portfolio short; relatively short effective portfolio duration helps mitigate interest rate risk. The estimated effective duration of the investment portfolio was 1.93 years and the estimated weighted average life of the portfolio was 5.2 years as of March 31, 2026. Approximately 65% of the securities portfolio was floating rate at March 31, 2026.

The investment securities AFS portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $274.1 million at March 31, 2026, increasing by $6.9 million compared to a net unrealized loss position of $267.1 million at December 31, 2025. Net unrealized losses at March 31, 2026 included $23.1 million of gross unrealized gains and $297.1 million of gross unrealized losses. Investment securities available for sale in unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2026 had an aggregate fair value of $5.2 billion. The unrealized losses resulted primarily from a sustained period of higher interest rates, and in some cases, wider spreads compared to the levels at which securities were purchased. None of the unrealized losses were attributable to credit loss impairments.
The external ratings distribution of our AFS securities portfolio at the dates indicated is depicted in the charts below:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
We evaluate the credit quality of individual securities in the portfolio quarterly to determine whether we expect to recover the amortized cost basis of the investments in unrealized loss positions. This evaluation considers, but is not necessarily limited to, the following factors, the relative significance of which varies depending on the circumstances pertinent to each individual security:
•Whether we intend to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis;
•Whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis;
•The extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost;
•Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, a sector, an industry or geographic area;
•Changes in the financial condition of the issuer or underlying loan obligors;
•The payment structure and remaining payment terms of the security, including levels of subordination or over-collateralization;
•Failure of the issuer to make scheduled payments;
•Changes in external credit ratings;
•Relevant market data; and
•Estimated prepayments, defaults, and the value and performance of underlying collateral at the individual security level.
We regularly engage with bond managers to monitor trends in underlying collateral, including potential downgrades and subsequent cash flow diversions, liquidity, ratings migration, and any other relevant developments.
We have not sold, and do not anticipate the need to sell, securities in unrealized loss positions to generate liquidity. At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have an intent to sell securities that were in significant unrealized loss positions, and it
38
was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The substantial majority of our investment securities are eligible to be pledged at either the FHLB or FRB.
The majority of our investment securities are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. U.S. Treasury securities and marketable equity securities are classified within level 1 of the hierarchy. For additional disclosure related to the fair values of investment securities, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
The following table shows the weighted average prospective yields based on current rates, categorized by scheduled maturity, for AFS investment securities as of March 31, 2026. Scheduled maturities have been adjusted for anticipated prepayments when applicable.

The office segment totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026. Medical office comprised approximately $334 million or 24% of the total office portfolio.
Non-performing CRE loans, excluding SBA loans, totaled $67 million at March 31, 2026 and included $48 million of office exposure. Also see the section entitled "Asset Quality" below.
Commercial and Industrial
Commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small, middle market and larger corporate businesses and not-for-profit entities and include equipment loans, secured and unsecured working capital facilities, formula-based loans, subscription finance lines of credit, trade finance, SBA product offerings, business acquisition finance credit facilities, credit facilities to institutional real estate entities such as REITs and commercial real estate investment funds, and a small amount of commercial credit cards. These loans may be structured as term loans, typically with maturities of five to seven years, or revolving lines of credit which may have multi-year maturities. In addition to financing provided by Pinnacle, the Bank provides financing to state and local governmental entities generally within our primary geographic markets. The Bank makes loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate that typically have risk profiles more closely aligned with that of commercial and industrial loans than with other types of commercial real estate loans.

NDFI exposure totaled $1.4 billion, or 6% of total loans, at March 31, 2026. The "Other" category in the chart above includes primarily REITs, B2C, private equity funds, insurance and investment services. The substantial majority of the NDFI portfolio is pass rated, with three loans totaling $27 million rated non-pass.
The Pinnacle portfolio consists of essential-use equipment financing to state and local governmental entities on a national basis directly and through vendor programs and alliances, with financing structures including equipment lease purchase agreements, direct (private placement) bond re-fundings and loan agreements.
The franchise and equipment finance portfolio is comprised of loans originated by Bridge including (i) franchise acquisition, expansion and equipment financing facilities and (ii) transportation equipment finance. We expect balances in these segments will continue to decline.

The 1-4 single family residential loan portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans, is primarily comprised of prime jumbo loans purchased through established correspondent channels. 1-4 single family residential mortgage loans are primarily closed-end, first lien jumbo mortgages for the purchase or re-finance of owner occupied property. The loans have terms ranging from 10 to 30 years, with either fixed or adjustable interest rates. At March 31, 2026, the majority of the 1-4 single family residential loan portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans, was owner-occupied, with 81% primary residence, 5% second homes and 14% investor-owned properties.
The Company acquires non-performing FHA and VA insured mortgages from third parties who have exercised their right to purchase these loans out of GNMA securitizations upon default ("Buyout Loans"). Buyout Loans that re-perform, either through modification or self-cure, may be eligible for re-securitization. The balance of Buyout Loans totaled $851 million at March 31, 2026.

Operating lease equipment, net totaled $150 million and $171 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, consisting primarily of railcars and other transportation equipment. We expect the balance of operating lease equipment to continue to decline as this product offering is no longer considered core to our business strategy.
Asset Quality
Commercial Loans
We have a robust credit risk management framework, an experienced team to lead the workout and recovery process for the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and a dedicated internal credit review function. Loan performance is monitored by our credit administration, portfolio management and workout and recovery departments. Risk ratings are updated continuously; generally, commercial relationships with balances greater than $3 million, are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. Homogenous groups of smaller balance commercial loans may be monitored collectively. The credit quality and risk rating of commercial loans as well as our underwriting and portfolio management practices are regularly reviewed by our internal independent credit review department.
We believe internal risk rating is the best indicator of the credit quality of commercial loans. The Company utilizes a 16-grade internal asset risk classification system as part of its efforts to monitor and maintain commercial asset quality. The special mention rating is considered a transitional rating for loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that could result in deterioration of repayment prospects at some future date if not checked or corrected and that deserve management’s close attention. These borrowers may exhibit declining cash flows or revenues or increasing leverage. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses that may result in a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected are assigned a risk rating of substandard. These borrowers may exhibit payment defaults, inadequate cash flows from current operations, operating losses, increasing balance
44
sheet leverage, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, exhausted interest reserves, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts or past due real estate taxes. Loans with weaknesses so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable, but because of certain reasonably specific pending factors have not been charged off, are assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

Residential Loans
Excluding government insured loans, our residential portfolio consists largely of performing jumbo mortgage loans purchased through established correspondent channels with FICO scores above 720, full documentation, current LTVs of 80% or less and are primarily owner-occupied. Loans with LTVs higher than 80% may be extended to selected credit-worthy borrowers. We perform due diligence on the purchased loans for credit, compliance, counterparty, payment history and property valuation.
We have a dedicated residential credit risk management function, and the residential portfolio is monitored by our internal credit review function. Residential mortgage loans are not individually risk rated. Delinquency status is the primary measure we use to monitor the credit quality of these loans. We also consider original LTV and most recently available FICO score to be significant indicators of credit quality for the 1-4 single family residential portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans.

Contractually delinquent government insured residential loans are typically Buyout Loans and are excluded from non-performing loans as defined in the table above due to their government guarantee. The carrying value of such loans contractually delinquent by 90 days or more was $197 million and $159 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The increase in the ACL to non-performing loans coverage ratio reflected overall lower non-performing loan balances at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.
The following charts present non-performing CRE loans by property type at the dates indicated (in millions):

Commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when (i) management has determined that full repayment of all contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or (ii) the loan is past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Residential loans, other than Buyout Loans, are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 60 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected interest accrued is reversed and charged to interest income. Commercial loans are returned to accrual status only after all past due principal and interest has been collected and full repayment of remaining contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Residential loans are generally returned to accrual status when less than 60 days past due. Past due status of loans is determined based on the contractual next payment due date. Loans less than 30 days past due are reported as current.
Loss Mitigation Strategies
Criticized or classified commercial loans in excess of certain thresholds are reviewed quarterly by the Criticized Asset Committee, which evaluates the appropriate strategy for collection to mitigate the amount of credit losses and considers the appropriate risk rating for these loans. Criticized asset reports for each relationship are presented by the assigned relationship manager and credit officer to the Criticized Asset Committee until such time as the relationships are returned to a satisfactory credit risk rating or otherwise resolved. The Criticized Asset Committee may require the transfer of a loan to our workout and recovery department, which is tasked to effectively manage the loan with the goal of minimizing losses and expenses associated with restructure, collection and/or liquidation of collateral. Commercial loans with a risk rating of substandard, loans on non-accrual status, and assets classified as OREO or repossessed assets are usually transferred to workout and recovery. Oversight of the workout and recovery department is provided by the Criticized Asset Committee.
Our servicers evaluate each residential loan in default to determine the most effective loss mitigation strategy, which may be modification, short sale, or foreclosure, and pursue the alternative most suitable to the consumer and to mitigate losses to the Bank.
Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is management's estimate of the amount of expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, or the amount of amortized cost basis not expected to be collected, at the balance sheet date. This estimate encompasses information about historical events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Determining the amount of the ACL is complex and requires extensive judgment by management about matters that are inherently uncertain. Given the complexity of the ACL estimate, the level of management judgment required and inherent uncertainty with respect to future developments in the external environment, it is possible that the ACL estimate could change, potentially materially, in future periods. Changes in the ACL may result from changes in current economic conditions, including but not limited to unanticipated changes in interest rates or inflationary pressures, changes in our economic forecast, loan portfolio composition, commercial and residential real estate market dynamics and other circumstances not currently known to us that may impact the financial condition and operations of our borrowers, among other factors.
Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for groups of loans that share similar risk characteristics. For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans such as collateral dependent loans, expected credit losses are
48
estimated on an individual basis. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual terms of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments, generally excluding expected extensions, renewals, and modifications.
For the substantial majority of portfolio segments and subsegments, including residential loans other than government insured loans and most commercial and commercial real estate loans, expected losses are estimated using econometric models.
A single economic scenario or a probability weighted blend of economic scenarios may be used. The models ingest numerous national, regional and MSA level variables and data points. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we used a combination of weighted third-party provided economic scenarios in calculating the quantitative portion of the ACL. Each of these externally provided scenarios in fact represents the result of a probability weighting of thousands of individual scenario paths.
See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detailed information about our ACL methodology and related accounting policies.

Changes in the ACL during the three months ended March 31, 2026, are depicted in the chart below (dollars in millions):
Changes in the ACL during the three months ended March 31, 2026
As depicted in the chart above, the most significant factors impacting the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were net charge-offs, partially offset by increases in specific reserves. The ACL was also impacted, although to a lesser extent, by an increase in certain qualitative factors and decreases related to (i) improvement in the economic forecast, (ii) changes in portfolio composition and borrower financial performance and (iii) routine modeling and assumption changes.
At March 31, 2026, the ratio of the ACL to loans was 0.87%, compared to 0.91% at December 31, 2025. The commercial ACL ratio, inclusive of C&I, CRE, and franchise and equipment finance was 1.25% at March 31, 2026 compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2025. The ACL to loans ratio for CRE office loans was 1.69% at March 31, 2026 compared to 2.03% at December 31, 2025. Further discussion of changes in the ACL for select portfolio sub-segments follows:
•The ACL for the CRE portfolio sub-segment decreased by $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 0.86% to 0.81% of loans, primarily a result of improvements in criticized and classified loans.
•The ACL for the commercial and industrial sub-segment decreased by $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 1.65% to 1.60% of loans, primarily a result of net charge-offs, partially offset by increases in specific reserves.

The quantitative estimate of the ACL at March 31, 2026, was informed by forecasted economic scenarios published in March 2026, a wide variety of additional economic data, information about borrower financial condition and collateral values, and other relevant information. The quantitative portion of the ACL at March 31, 2026, was modeled using a weighting of baseline, downside and upside third-party economic scenarios, with the highest weighting ascribed to the baseline scenario and lower weightings ascribed to the downside and upside scenarios.
Some of the high-level data points informing the baseline scenario used in estimating the quantitative portion of the ACL at March 31, 2026, included:
•Labor market assumptions, which reflected national unemployment peaking at 4.5% and
•Annualized growth in national GDP averaging 2.8%.
The above unemployment and GDP growth assumptions are provided to give a high level overview of the nature and severity of the baseline economic forecast scenario used in estimating the ACL. Numerous additional variables and assumptions not explicitly stated, including but not limited to detailed commercial and residential property forecasts, projected stock market performance and volatility indices and a variety of additional assumptions about market interest rates and spreads also contributed to the overall impact economic conditions and the economic forecast had on the ACL estimate. Furthermore, while the variables presented above are at the national level, many of the economic variables are regionalized at the market and submarket level in the models.

Deposits
The composition of deposits at the dates indicated is shown below:
March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
The Company has a diverse deposit book. At March 31, 2026, our largest industry vertical was title insurance with approximately $4.1 billion in total deposits. Deposits in the HOA vertical totaled $2.3 billion at March 31, 2026. Approximately 70% of our deposits were commercial or municipal deposits at March 31, 2026.
Brokered deposits totaled $4.6 billion and $4.9 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Brokered deposits are generally insured and typically a readily available source of funds, however, they are typically higher cost and in some circumstances, credit sensitive. We are strategically focused on reducing the level of brokered deposits in the future.
51
The following graph presents trends in the deposit mix and cost of deposits (in millions):
Quarterly average cost of deposits | 2.12% | 2.18% | ||||||
Non-interest bearing as a % of total deposits | 30.5% | 28.8% | ||||||
Spot average APY of total deposits | 2.09% | 2.10% | ||||||
Non-interest bearing demand deposits declined by 2%, or $166 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to seasonality. Total deposits were essentially flat, quarter-over-quarter, increasing by $7 million while non-brokered deposits grew by $277 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
For additional information about Deposits, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
Borrowings
In addition to deposits, we utilize FHLB advances as a funding source; the advances provide us with additional flexibility in managing both term and cost of funding and in managing interest rate risk. FHLB advances are secured by qualifying residential first mortgage and commercial real estate loans and MBS. The following table presents information about the contractual balance and maturities of outstanding FHLB advances, as of March 31, 2026 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity involves our ability to generate adequate funds to support planned interest earning asset growth, meet deposit withdrawal and credit line usage requests in both normal operating and stressed environments, maintain reserve requirements, conduct routine operations, pay dividends, service outstanding debt and meet other contractual obligations.
BankUnited's ongoing liquidity needs have historically been met primarily by cash flows from operations, deposit growth, the investment portfolio, its amortizing loan portfolio and FHLB advances. FRB discount window capacity, repurchase agreement capacity and a letter of credit with the FHLB provide additional sources of contingent liquidity.
Same day available liquidity includes cash, secured funding such as borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve, and unpledged securities. Additional sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, wholesale deposits, cash flow from the Bank's amortizing securities and loan portfolios, repurchase agreements and the sale of investment securities. Management also has the ability to exert substantial control over the rate and timing of loan production, and resultant requirements for liquidity to fund new loans.
The following chart presents the components of same day available liquidity at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in millions):
| Same Day Available Liquidity | ||
At March 31, 2026, the ratio of estimated insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was 57% and the ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits was 136%. As a commercially focused bank, due to the inherent nature of commercial deposits and the fact that deposit insurance is designed primarily to protect consumers, a significant portion of our deposits are uninsured.
53
Our ALM policy establishes limits or operating risk thresholds for a number of measures of liquidity which are monitored at least monthly by the ALCO and quarterly by the Board of Directors. Some of the measures currently used to dimension liquidity risk and manage liquidity are a wholesale funding ratio, the ratio of available liquidity to uninsured/non-collateralized deposits, the ratio of available operational liquidity (which excludes availability at the FRB) to volatile liabilities, a liquidity stress test coverage ratio, the loan to deposit ratio, a one-year liquidity ratio, a measure of available on-balance sheet liquidity, the ratio of brokered deposits to total deposits and large depositor concentrations. We also have single depositor relationship limits. Our liquidity management framework incorporates a robust contingency funding plan and liquidity stress testing framework.
The following tables present some of the Company's liquidity measures, where applicable, their related policy limits and operating risk thresholds at the dates indicated:

Available liquidity to uninsured/non-collateralized deposits | 136% | ≥100% | |||||||||
As a holding company, BankUnited, Inc. is a corporation separate and apart from its banking subsidiary, and therefore, provides for its own liquidity. BankUnited, Inc.’s main sources of funds include management fees and dividends from the Bank and access to capital markets. There are regulatory limitations that may affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to BankUnited, Inc. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing cash obligations.
Capital
Pursuant to the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank had capital levels that exceeded both the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines and all internal capital ratio targets.
We have an active shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that allows the Company to periodically offer and sell in one or more offerings, individually or in any combination, our common stock, preferred stock and other non-equity securities. The shelf registration provides us with flexibility in issuing capital instruments and enables us to more readily access the capital markets as needed to pursue future growth opportunities and to ensure continued compliance with regulatory capital requirements. Our ability to issue securities pursuant to the shelf registration is subject to market conditions.

Interest Rate Risk
A principal component of the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments, or market risk, is interest rate risk, including the risk that assets and liabilities with similar re-pricing characteristics may not reprice at the same time or to the same degree. A primary objective of the Company’s asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income, while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The ALCO is responsible for establishing policies to manage exposure to interest rate risk, and to ensure procedures are established to monitor compliance with these policies. The policies established by the ALCO are approved at least annually by the Board of Directors and its Risk Committee. The Board of Directors or its Risk Committee monitor compliance with these policies at least quarterly.
Management believes that the simulation of net interest income in different interest rate environments provides the most meaningful measure of interest rate risk. Income simulation analysis is designed to capture not only the potential of all assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Income simulation also attends to the relative interest rate sensitivities of these items, and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. Finally, income simulation permits management to assess the probable effects on the balance sheet not only of changes in interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to them. Simulation of changes in EVE in various interest rate environments is also a meaningful measure of interest rate risk.
Net Interest Income Simulation
The income simulation model analyzes interest rate sensitivity by projecting net interest income over 12- and 24-month periods in a most likely rate scenario based on a consensus forward curve versus net interest income in alternative rate scenarios. Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk management processes in response to changes in the interest rate environment, the economic climate and observed customer behavior. Currently, our interest rate risk management framework is based on modeling instantaneous rate shocks to a static balance sheet, assuming that maturing instruments are replaced with like instruments at forward rates, of plus and minus 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point parallel shifts. In lower interest rate environments, we may not model more extreme declining rate scenarios and in certain macro-environments, we may model shocks of more than 400 basis points. Our ALM policy has established limits for the plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points shock scenarios. We also model a variety of dynamic balance sheet scenarios, various yield curve slopes, non-parallel shifts and alternative depositor behavior, beta and decay assumptions. We continually evaluate the scenarios being modeled with a view toward adapting them to changing economic conditions, expectations and trends.

The following table presents the impact on forecasted net interest income compared to a "most likely" scenario, based on the consensus forward curve, in static balance sheet, parallel rate shock scenarios of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points at the dates indicated:

All of the modeled results at March 31, 2026 are within ALM policy limits.
The Company uses many assumptions in estimating the impact of changes in interest rates on forecasted net interest income and EVE. Actual results may not be similar to the Company's projections due to many factors including but not limited to the timing and frequency of market rate changes, market conditions, unanticipated changes in depositor behavior and loan prepayment speeds, the shape of the yield curve, changes in balance sheet composition and the Company's actions in response to changing external and balance sheet dynamics. Some of the more significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating the impact of changes in interest rates on forecasted net interest income and EVE at March 31, 2026 were:
•Prepayment speeds for loans, with CPRs ranging from 7.45% to 16.31% depending on loan characteristics and the magnitude of the modeled rate shock;
•Prepayment speeds for investment securities, with CPRs ranging from 4.24% to 12.87% depending on individual security collateral and characteristics and the magnitude of the modeled rate shock;
•Deposit decay rates ranging between 9.73% and 13.7%, depending on the magnitude of the modeled rate shock; and
•Overall non-maturity interest bearing deposit beta of 80%.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Management continually evaluates a variety of hedging strategies that are available to manage interest rate risk.
Interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow or fair value hedging instruments are tools we may use to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments are used to mitigate exposure to changes in interest cash flows or the fair value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates, as well as to manage duration of liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions as it is a metric commonly used in the banking industry.
PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses. This measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions since it is commonly employed and is a measure frequently cited by investors and analysts.
