DETAILED FINANCIALS

ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income and net income available to common stockholders of $85.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $61.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were both $1.57 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.52 in the first quarter of 2026 and $1.12 in the second quarter of 2025. The prior-year quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.21.

Annualized return on average assets was 1.91% and annualized return on average common stockholders’ equity was 17.71% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.40% and 14.56%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025.

Net interest income was $155.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $148.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $131.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2026 was 3.63% compared to 3.53% in the first quarter of 2026 and 3.10% in the second quarter of 2025. Loan yields were 6.23% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 6.18% during the first quarter of 2026 and 6.37% during the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, we recovered $1.9 million in interest income from a large credit relationship that was previously on nonaccrual status. This recovery accounted for five basis points of the increase in loan yields from the first quarter of 2026. Investment yields were 3.81% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 3.78% during the first quarter of 2026 and 3.37% during the second quarter of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposit rates were 2.80% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.79% during the first quarter of 2026 and 3.33% during the second quarter of 2025. Average federal funds purchased rates were 3.74% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.74% during the first quarter of 2026 and 4.49% during the second quarter of 2025.

Average loans for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.22 billion, an increase of $440.1 million, or 12.8% annualized, from average loans of $13.78 billion for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $1.21 billion, or 9.3%, from average loans of $13.01 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Ending total loans for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.48 billion, an increase of $532.6 million, or 15.3% annualized, from $13.95 billion for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $1.25 billion, or 9.4%, from $13.23 billion for the second quarter of 2025.

Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.32 billion, an increase of $191.8 million, or 5.4% annualized, from average total deposits of $14.13 billion for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $423.0 million, or 3.0%, from average total deposits of $13.90 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Ending total deposits for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.55 billion, an increase of $62.4 million, or 1.7% annualized, from $14.49 billion for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $686.4 million, or 5.0%, from $13.86 billion for the second quarter of 2025.

Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.96% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.00% for the first quarter of 2026 and 0.42% for the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was attributable to a large real-estate secured relationship. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.11% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 0.25% for the first quarter of 2026 and 0.20% for the second quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses to total loans at June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, was 1.26%, 1.25%, and 1.28%, respectively. We recorded an $11.7 million provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, and $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Non-interest income was $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $12.5 million. Adjusted for $8.6 million of securities losses in the second quarter of 2025, this represented a $3.9 million, or 43.5% increase. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $667,000, or 25.0%, to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, and were relatively flat on a linked quarter basis. We increased our service charge rates on many of our treasury management products in July of 2025. Mortgage banking revenue increased $898,000, or 67.9%, to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $329,000, or 17.4%, on a linked quarter basis. The increase on a year-over-year basis was primarily due to an increase in loans sold into the secondary market. We also increased our per-loan administrative fee in the first quarter of 2026. Credit card income increased $373,000, or 17.6%, to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $290,000, or 13.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income increased $2.0 million, or 94.4%, to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $1.3 million, or 46.5%, on a linked quarter basis. The increases were primarily due to our purchases of $150.0 million of new contracts in the third quarter of 2025 and $25.0 million of new contracts in the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, we had a $1.0 million adjustment related to a correction of BOLI income in the fourth quarter of 2025. Other operating income decreased $37,000, or 5.0%, to $708,000 for the second quarter of 2026 from $745,000 in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $80,000, or 12.7%, on a linked quarter basis.

Non-interest expense increased $5.8 million, or 13.0%, to $50.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $44.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $2.6 million, or 5.4%, on a linked quarter basis. Salary and benefit expense increased $3.7 million, or 16.4%, to $26.3 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, and decreased $579,000, or 2.2%, on a linked quarter basis. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the full impact of our Houston market expansion. The number of full-time equivalent employees (excluding temporary employees) increased by 22, or 3.4%, to 663 at June 30, 2026 compared to 641 at June 30, 2025, and increased by three from the end of the first quarter of 2026. Equipment and occupancy expense increased $440,000, or 12.5%, to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $15,000, or 0.4%, on a linked quarter basis. Third party processing and other services expense decreased $43,000, or 0.5%, to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $437,000, or 5.8%, on a linked quarter basis. Professional services expense increased $323,000, or 17.0%, to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $284,000, or 14.6%, on a linked quarter basis. Other operating expenses increased $1.3 million, or 23.8%, to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, and increased $2.4 million, or 54.2%, on a linked quarter basis. The efficiency ratio was 29.65% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 33.46% during the second quarter of 2025 and 29.80% during the first quarter of 2026.

Our effective tax rate was 19.94% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 19.82% for the second quarter of 2025, and 17.82% on a linked quarter basis. During the first quarter of 2026, we purchased Investment Tax Credits, which reduced our tax expense. We recognized a reduction in provision for income taxes resulting from excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock during the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 of $36,000 and $234,000, respectively.

This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common stockholders’ equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use.
