Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.61 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2026, up from $0.73 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Return on average assets was 1.98% during the current quarter, up from 0.90% during the third quarter of 2025. Return on average equity increased to 16.7% during the current quarter, up from 8.5% during the third quarter of 2025.

Non-interest income increased by $538 thousand from $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $2.8 million during the third quarter of 2026.

Non-interest expense was flat compared to the third quarter of 2025 at $15.1 million.

The provision for income taxes increased $877 thousand to $2.6 million during the current quarter from $1.8 million during the third quarter of 2025, due to higher pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate declined to 18.9% from 25.6% in the prior-year quarter, related to the purchase of $14.5 million in green energy tax credits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $31.1 million or $4.46 per share, an increase of $12.5 million from $18.6 million or $2.98 per share earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Earnings per diluted share increased to $4.40 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up $1.46 from $2.94 during the first nine months of 2025.

Return on average assets was 1.85% during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up from 1.35% during the first nine months of 2025. Return on average equity increased to 15.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up from 12.2% during the first nine months of 2025.

Certain comparisons to prior-year periods are impacted by the acquisition of Cornerstone Community Bancorp (“Cornerstone”) on July 1, 2025, as 2026 year-to-date results reflect a full period of combined operations while 2025 year-to-date results reflect only three months of combined operations.

President's Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president, and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp, commented,“Our lower-cost relationship-based deposit franchise and enhanced loan yield supported profitability during the third quarter, with continued loan repricing helping to maintain strong net interest margin. Profitability was further supported by the execution of another green energy tax credit investment that reduced income tax expense by offsetting current and prior-year taxes.

Loan balances remained relatively consistent during the quarter, due in part to the continued planned runoff of our lower-yielding indirect auto portfolio. Asset quality slightly improved during the quarter, and we continue to work toward favorable resolutions with the same relationships.

Our strong capital position and experienced team provide us with the flexibility to navigate changing economic conditions, return capital through share repurchases, support our clients and communities, and continue building long-term value for our shareholders.”

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans were $1.5 billion at September 30, 2026 and 2025. Increases in loans included $35 million in commercial real estate loans, $5 million in construction loans, and $1 million in equity lines. These increases were offset by a decrease of $20 million in automobile loans, $15 million in agricultural loans, $4 million in other loans, and $2 million in commercial loans.

At September 30, 2026, approximately 79% of the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company's lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. Repricing frequencies on variable rate loans range from one day to several years, with the majority of commercial real estate loans repricing every five years. Approximately 78% of the variable rate loans are indexed to the five year T-Bill rate and reprice every five years. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 19% of the Company's variable rate loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Total deposits increased by $47 million, or 2.6% from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2025, to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026. The increase in deposits includes increases of $38 million in money market accounts and $22 million in time deposits that were partially offset by decreases of $11 million in savings deposits and $2 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. At September 30, 2026, 46% of the Company's deposits were in the form of non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The Company's brokered deposits consisted of a single $10 million time deposit acquired from Cornerstone, bearing an interest rate of 3.80%.

Total investment securities decreased by $10 million from $485 million at September 30, 2025, to $475 million at September 30, 2026. Contributing to this decrease was a $21 million increase in the unrealized loss position, from $23 million at September 30, 2025, to $44 million at September 30, 2026. The Company's investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Government sponsored agencies and municipalities.

Primarily related to the increase in deposits and cash flow from operations, cash and due from banks increased by $27 million from $87 million at September 30, 2025, to $114 million at September 30, 2026.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) at September 30, 2026, were $21.3 million, up from $15.2 million at September 30, 2025. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.94% at September 30, 2026, up from 0.68% at September 30, 2025. OREO increased by $21 thousand from $114 thousand at September 30, 2025, to $135 thousand at September 30, 2026. Nonperforming loans were $21.1 million at September 30, 2026, and $15.0 million at September 30, 2025. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.41% at September 30, 2026, up from 1.0% at September 30, 2025.

During the nine months of 2026 the provision for credit losses totaled $420 thousand consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $350 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $70 thousand. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $6.5 million consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $6.3 million and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $211 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The higher provision recorded during 2025 was primarily attributable to the Day 1 CECL provision on non-PCD loans and to a lesser extent the establishment of a reserve for unfunded commitments acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition.

Net charge-offs totaled $567 thousand and $219 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $19.7 million at September 30, 2026, and $19.6 million at September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.32% and 1.30% at September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Borrowing and Repurchase Agreements

Short-term Borrowing Arrangements. The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) and can borrow up to $451 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $719 million. Based on its current level of FHLB stock holdings the Company can borrow up to $326 million. To borrow the full $451 million in available credit the Company would need to purchase $3 million in additional FHLB stock. The Company is also eligible to borrow at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Discount Window. At September 30, 2026, the Company could borrow up to $55 million at the Discount Window secured by investment securities with a fair value of $57 million. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the Discount Window, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB Discount Window or the correspondent banks at September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Note Payable. Plumas Bancorp had outstanding borrowings of $14.3 million with a correspondent bank at September 30, 2026. This loan matures on January 25, 2035, and can be prepaid at any time. This borrowing bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% for the first 5 years and then beginning January 25, 2027, at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate for the remaining eight-year term. Interest expense recognized on this loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $418 thousand and $438 thousand, respectively.

Subordinated Debentures. In connection with the acquisition of Cornerstone, the Company assumed $12 million of subordinated debentures, including $2 million of 4.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due November 30, 2035 (the“2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes, which were issued in 2020, have a fixed interest rate of 4.75% for the first ten years and thereafter a quarterly variable interest rate equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.14%. The remaining subordinated notes were called in 2025 and are no longer outstanding. Interest expense recognized on the subordinated notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $133 thousand and $225 thousand, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements. The Company offers a repurchase agreement product for its larger customers which use securities sold under agreements to repurchase as an alternative to interest-bearing deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $62 million and $94 million at September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Repurchase agreement balances at September 30, 2025 reflected accounts acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, approximately $41 million of which were subsequently reclassified to money market deposits during 2026. The balances at September 30, 2026, are secured by U.S. Government agency securities with a carrying amount of $89 million. Interest expense recognized on repurchase agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $968 thousand and $347 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers' borrowing needs and satisfy maturities of short-term borrowings. The Company's liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive rates on deposit products and the use of established credit lines.

At September 30, 2026, the Company had $576 million of available borrowing capacity through a combination of FHLB advances, the FRB Discount Window and correspondent bank lines.

Customer deposits are the Company's primary source of funds. Total deposits increased by $47 million from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2025, to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company estimates that it has approximately $789 million in uninsured deposits which include uninsured deposits of Plumas Bancorp. Of this amount, $209 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.

The Company's securities portfolio, Discount Window advances, FHLB advances, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as cash held at the FRB and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company's available sources of funds, including borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the near future.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity increased by $16.5 million from $246.0 million at September 30, 2025, to $262.5 million at September 30, 2026. The $16.5 million includes earnings during the twelve-month period totaling $42.1 million and restricted stock and stock option activity totaling $2.4 million. These items were partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $14.8 million, the payment of cash dividends totaling $9.0 million and the purchase of approximately 80 thousand shares of common stock under the Company's share repurchase plan totaling $4.2 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

Net interest income increased by $1.3 million from $25.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase in net interest income reflects an increase of $1.3 million in interest income and a $113 thousand decrease in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.2 million to $24.8 million related to an increase in average balance and an increase in yield. Average loan balances increased by $26 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 21 basis points from 6.35% during the third quarter of 2025 to 6.56% during the current quarter. The increase in yield relates to several factors including the amortization of discount on purchased loans, the repricing of a portion of our commercial real estate loans most of which reprice every five years from the date of origination, and growth in fixed rate SBA loans which totaled $132 million at September 30, 2026, and $94 million at September 30, 2025. The weighted average rate earned on this portfolio at September 30, 2026, was 8.0%. The average prime interest rate decreased from 7.46% during the third quarter of 2025 to 6.79% during the current quarter. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 19% of the Company's variable rate loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Interest earned on investment securities increased by $283 thousand related to an increase in yield on investment securities of 29 basis points to 4.35% partially offset by a decrease in average balance of $6 million. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025 and market conditions. Average investment securities decreased from $482 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $476 million during the current period.

Interest earned on cash balances decreased by $224 thousand related to a decrease in average balance of $2 million and a decrease in average rate earned on cash balances of 74 basis points from 4.50% during the third quarter of 2025 to 3.8% during the current quarter. This decline in yield was mostly related to a decline in rate earned on balances held at the FRB. The average rate earned on FRB balances decreased from 4.36% during the third quarter of 2025 to 3.69% during the current quarter.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $197 thousand related to an increase of $24.6 million in average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 4 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 1.56% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.60% during the current quarter, primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on time deposits from 1.87% in the third quarter of 2025 to 2.77% during the current quarter. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on money market deposits from 2.22% in the third quarter of 2025 to 1.79% during the current quarter.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.67% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.63% during the current quarter, as the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was more than offset by decreases in the average rates paid on repurchase agreements and borrowings. The average rate paid on repurchase agreements decreased from 1.69% during the third quarter of 2025 to 1.54% during the current quarter. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 5.20% during the third quarter of 2025 to 4.38% during the current quarter.

Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased 22 basis points to 5.05%, up from 4.83% for the same period in 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $77.7 million, an increase of $15.8 million from the $61.9 million earned during the same period in 2025. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $19.8 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $4.0 million in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $18.9 million related to increases in average balance and yield. The average balance of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.5 billion, an increase of $333 million from $1.2 billion during the same period in 2025. Average loan balances during the first nine months of 2026 reflect a full period of loans acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, while the comparable 2025 period reflects only a partial period following the acquisition. The average yield on loans increased by 30 basis points from 6.24% during the first nine months of 2025 to 6.54% during the current period.

Interest on investment securities increased by $1.3 million related to an increase in yield of 22 basis points to 4.30% and an increase in average balance of $16 million to $472 million. The increase in investment yield is consistent with the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025 and market conditions.

Interest on cash balances declined by $419 thousand due to decreases in both average balance and yield. The rate earned on cash balances declined by 74 basis points to 3.76%. The average balance in interest-bearing cash declined by $798 thousand to $71.4 million.

Primarily related to an increase in balance and rate paid on deposits and repurchase agreements, interest expense increased from $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $13.1 million during the current period. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.43% during the 2025 period to 1.62% in 2026.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $3.5 million and is broken down by product type as follows: money market accounts - $1.2 million, savings deposits - $91 thousand and time deposits - $2.2 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 1.35% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 1.57% during the current period. Average interest-bearing deposits totaled $986 million for the first nine months of 2026, an increase of $190 million from $796 million during the first nine months of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposit balances for the first nine months of 2026 reflect a full period of deposits acquired in the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition, while the comparable 2025 period reflects only a partial period following the acquisition.

Interest expense on repurchase agreements increased by $621 thousand related to an increase in average balance of $41.7 million and an increase in rate paid of 40 basis points. The increase in average balances was primarily attributable to repurchase agreements acquired in the Cornerstone acquisition.

Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 20 basis points to 5.07%, up from 4.87% for the same period in 2025.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income totaled $2.8 million, an increase of $538 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the absence of a $628 thousand loss on the sale of investment securities recognized in the prior-year quarter.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest expense totaled $15.1 million, an increase of $11 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2025. The four largest increases were $341 thousand in professional fees, $272 thousand in occupancy and equipment, $222 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, and $178 thousand in loan collection expenses. The largest reduction in non-interest expense was $879 thousand in merger expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2025. Management estimates that approximately $350 thousand of the professional fees and loan collection expenses recognized during the current quarter were nonrecurring in nature.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income totaled $8.5 million, an increase of $713 thousand from the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the absence of a $625 thousand loss on the sale of investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Increases in non-interest income during the current period were $342 thousand in earnings on life insurance policies, $296 thousand in FHLB dividends, and $253 thousand in interchange income. Each of these items benefited from the acquisition of Cornerstone. These increases were mostly offset by a $1.1 million settlement related to the Dixie Fire during the first quarter of 2025.

Non-interest expense increased by $7.3 million from $37.6 million during the first nine months of 2025 to $44.9 million during the current period. The four largest increases were $4.0 million in salary and benefit expense, $1.5 million in occupancy and equipment expense, $1.0 million in amortization of core deposit intangible and $644 thousand in professional fees.

Salary and benefit expense totaled $22.9 million during the current nine-month period and $18.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $4.0 million increase primarily related to the addition of personnel through the Cornerstone Community Bancorp acquisition. Related to an increase in pre-tax income, bonus expense increased by $626 thousand.

Primarily related to the acquisition of Cornerstone and to a lesser extent the sales/leaseback completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $1.5 million from $6.5 million during the first nine months of 2025 to $8 million during the current period. Amortization of Core Deposit Intangible increased by $1 million related to the acquisition of Cornerstone. Other expense increased by $603 thousand primarily related to a $726 thousand loss associated with two fraudulent wire transfers during the first quarter of 2026. The largest reduction in non-interest expense was $1.9 million in merger expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2025.
