Third Quarter 2026 Comments (Unaudited)

• Net interest income of $13.6 million compared to $12.8 million in the previous quarter.
  
• Net revenue ^{( 1)} of $20.3 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 7.3% compared to $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, due to lower net interchange fees and fewer loans sold.
  
• Net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 3.95% from 3.78%.
  
• Gain on loan sales of $4.7 million on loans sold of $84.5 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to $5.5 million on loans sold of $110.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. Gain on loan sales margin(1) increased to 5.57% from 5.04%.
  
• U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan originations of $171.7 million, compared to $131.4 million for the second quarter of 2026.
  

“Despite the lower than expected earnings during the period, I want to emphasize that our core banking franchise performed well during the third quarter, with higher net interest income, an improved net interest margin, and strong SBA production and gain-on-sale margin," said Jeff Newgard, President and Chief Executive Officer of GBank Financial Holdings. "While earnings were affected by lower interchange income following the decision by several large sports betting operators to discontinue credit cards as a funding source, as well as several one-time or non-core items, we believe the underlying performance of the bank reflects the strength of our franchise. Going forward, my focus is on strengthening the core bank; building my team which I hope to have completed by year end; maintaining strong credit discipline and executing on the opportunities before us. While the legacy retail credit card portfolio will continue to affect provision expense in the near term, we expect that impact to diminish as the portfolio continues to run off. My goal for the company and shareholders is to address the items that have held back earnings and have them behind us by the end of the year, so that 2027 can be a fresh start at the bank and we will clearly see the impacts of our gaming fintech initiatives taking hold as we move through the year.”

Financial Results

Income Statement

Net interest income totaled $13.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, reflecting an increase of $813 thousand, or 6.4%, compared to $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, and an increase of $616 thousand, or 4.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2025.

The increase in net interest income when compared to both the second quarter of 2026 and the same quarter of 2025 was primarily volume driven, as higher interest income from growth in average loans and investments (and, compared with the prior year, interest-bearing cash balances) more than offset increases in interest expense resulting from higher average deposits and borrowings.

The Company's net interest margin for the third quarter of 2026 was 3.95%, compared to 3.78% for the second quarter of 2026 and 4.35% for the third quarter of 2025. The 17 basis point increase over the prior quarter reflected a 15 basis point increase in the yield on average earning assets to 6.87% and a 5 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities to 3.86%. The higher asset yield was driven by a favorable shift in earning asset mix, as average loans increased $34.6 million to 83.1% of average earning assets (81.2% in the second quarter) at a yield of 7.34%, while lower-yielding average interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $26.9 million. The investment securities yield increased to 4.73% from 4.64% as a result of the full-quarter impact of $7.9 million of available for sale securities purchased during the second quarter of 2026.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2.8 million of provision expense recorded during the second quarter of 2026, and $2.2 million of provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025. The provision in the third quarter included a provision expense of $687 thousand for our legacy non-gaming retail credit card program. Please refer to information under the heading "Asset Quality" for more information regarding the provision for credit losses. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by a smaller allowance build, as the allowance for credit losses increased $1.5 million during the third quarter, compared to an increase of $1.7 million during the second quarter, while net charge-offs were consistent at $1.1 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.30% from 1.19% as of June 30, 2026.

Non-interest income was $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, and $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease of $2.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in net interchange fees, following the decision by several large sports betting operators to discontinue credit cards as a funding source, and a $0.8 million decrease in gain on sale of loans as fewer guaranteed loans were sold. The $0.5 million decrease in non-interest income during the third quarter of 2026 when compared to the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in net interchange fees, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in net gains on sales of loans, and a $549 thousand increase in loan servicing income.

Net revenue⁽¹⁾ totaled $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or 7.3%, compared to $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2026. Net revenue for the third quarter of 2026 increased $0.2 million, or 0.8%, when compared to $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Non-interest expense was $12.8 million during the third quarter of 2026, compared to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter increase in non-interest expense was principally due to $1.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, including $0.5 million in severance expense, partially offset by $0.4 million decrease in other expenses. Non-core items for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $0.6 million pre-tax, consisting of $0.5 million of severance expense, $0.1 million of fraud losses, as outlined in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 63.0% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 54.7% for the second quarter of 2026 and 61.1% for the third quarter of 2025. The higher efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2026 was due primarily to the lower net revenue and the non-core items included in non-interest expenses for the quarter.

Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, and $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. The Company's effective tax rate was 20.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to 22.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 22.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily driven by the timing and magnitude of certain stock-based compensation transactions that generate tax benefits for the Company, as well as changes in pre-tax earnings.

Net income was $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.6 million from $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, and a decrease of $455 thousand from $4.3 million during the third quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $0.38 for the second quarter of 2026 and $0.30 for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding non-core items, adjusted net income(1) was $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.2 million from $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, and a decrease of $2.0 million from $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) were $0.30 for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $0.38 for the second quarter of 2026 and $0.44 for the third quarter of 2025. Non-core items for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $0.6 million before tax as shown on the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2026 and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, an increase of 11.9% from $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase in total assets from September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by increases in loans and other assets. Total assets under management, including $1.2 billion of sold loans for which servicing is retained, totaled $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2026.

The investment securities portfolio decreased by $460 thousand during the third quarter of 2026, as principal paydowns and an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities more than offset purchases.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2026, $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2026, and $940.6 million as of September 30, 2025. Loans, net of deferred fees and costs increased $24.5 million during the third quarter of 2026 primarily due to an increase of $28 million in non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. The increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs, of $131.2 million from September 30, 2025, was driven primarily by increases of $134.5 million in commercial real estate-non-owner occupied loans. Total government guaranteed loans as a percentage of total loans⁽¹⁾ were 15.3% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 16.7% as of June 30, 2026, and 20.6% as of September 30, 2025.

The Company's allowance for credit losses totaled $13.9 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $12.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and $10.6 million as of September 30, 2025. Please refer to information under the heading "Asset Quality" for more information regarding the allowance for credit losses.

Deposits totaled $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, an increase of $71.8 million from $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2025. The decrease of $41.8 million from the prior quarter was driven by decreases in non-interest bearing demand, interest bearing demand and savings and money market balances of $36.9 million, $6.9 million and $77.4 million, respectively. The decrease in non-interest bearing demand balances was primarily due to decreases of $19.6 million in general business accounts, $11.9 million in fintech business accounts and $5.4 million in personal accounts. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $79.4 million in certificates of deposit. The increase of $71.8 million compared to September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by $114 million growth in certificates of deposit and offset by a decrease of $31 million in non-interest bearing deposits.

The Company's ratio of loans to deposits was 92.1% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 86.9% as of June 30, 2026, and 86.1% as of September 30, 2025.

The Company had $60 million in short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2026 compared to none as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $387.6 million in available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and through its various fed funds lines of credit with its correspondent banks.

Subordinated notes outstanding totaled $30.4 million as of September 30, 2026, $30.3 million as of June 30, 2026, and $26.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase reflects the issuance of $11.0 million of subordinated debt issued in January 2026 maturing on January 15, 2036. This increase was partially offset by the redemption of $6.5 million of subordinated debt originally issued in 2020.

Stockholders' equity was $175.4 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $172.8 million as of June 30, 2026, and $158.2 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase in stockholders' equity when compared to both the prior quarter and the prior year is mainly attributable to increases in retained earnings resulting from net income earned during each respective period, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss from unrealized losses on available for sale securities.

The Company's ratio of common equity to total assets was 12.04% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 12.07% as of June 30, 2026 and 12.16% as of September 30, 2025. The Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 13.4% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 13.2% as of June 30, 2026, and 13.7% as of September 30, 2025. The Company's book value per share was $12.08 as of September 30, 2026, an increase of 1.1% from $11.94 as of June 30, 2026, and an increase of 9.1% from $11.07 as of September 30, 2025.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit loss expense for loans of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2.8 million recorded during the second quarter of 2026 and $2.2 million of provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses for loans during the third quarter of 2026 reflects (i) $1.1 million of net charge offs recorded during the third quarter of 2026 for certain commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial loans, (ii) an increase of $981 thousand related to specific reserves on individually evaluated commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial loans, and (iii) an increase in reserve for credit cards of $687 thousand due to elevated delinquency levels in the legacy non-gaming retail credit card portfolio.

The Company's allowance for credit losses totaled $13.9 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $12.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and $10.6 million as of September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.30% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 1.19% as of June 30, 2026 and 1.12% as of September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding government guaranteed portions⁽¹⁾, was 1.54% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 1.42% as of June 30, 2026, and 1.42% as of September 30, 2025. The increase in this ratio was largely driven by an increase in specific reserves assigned to collateral-dependent non-performing loans.

Net loan charge offs in the third quarter of 2026 totaled $1.1 million, or 0.38% of average net loans (annualized), compared to net loan charge offs of $1.2 million, or 0.42% of average net loans (annualized) in the second quarter of 2026 and $836 thousand of net loan charge offs, or 0.35% of average net loans (annualized) during the third quarter of 2025.

The balance of other real estate owned increased to $10.9 million as of September 30, 2026 compared to $5.7 million as of June 30, 2026. The Company had $2.7 million other real estate owned as of September 30, 2025. The increase in other real estate owned during the third quarter of 2026 was attributable to the completion of foreclosure proceedings on three commercial real estate - non-owner occupied properties totaling $6.9 million. This increase was partially offset by the sale of one commercial real estate - non-owner occupied property during the third quarter of 2026 totaling $1.6 million.

Non-performing assets totaled $54.2 million as of September 30, 2026, a decrease of $3.9 million from $58.2 million as of June 30, 2026, and an increase of $16.8 million from $37.5 million as of September 30, 2025. The decrease was driven by an $8.8 million reduction in nonaccrual loans and a $0.5 million reduction in loans past due 90 days and still accruing, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in other real estate owned.

Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 3.72% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 4.06% as of June 30, 2026, and 2.88% as of September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2026, this ratio includes government guaranteed balances of $25.5 million in the balance of non-performing assets (the numerator). Excluding the government guaranteed portion of non-performing assets⁽¹⁾, total at-risk non-performing assets were $28.8 million, or 1.97% as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $7.5 million from $21.3 million, or 1.49% of total assets of June 30, 2026.

Other Financial and Operational Highlights

SBA Lending and Commercial Banking

SBA lending originations totaled $171.7 million during the third quarter of 2026, compared to $131.4 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $207.7 million for the third quarter of 2025.

We continue to see improvement in our pretax gain on sale of loans margin as the average was 5.57% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 5.04% for the second quarter of 2026, and 3.24% for the third quarter of 2025. This improvement in pricing quarter-over-quarter was more than offset with the volume decrease of $26 million in loan sales which resulted in a 15.2% decrease in gain on sale of loans when compared to the second quarter of 2026. Guaranteed loans held for sale increased by $19 million from June 30, 2026, with the majority of those loans plus new originations expected to be sold during the fourth quarter.

Gaming and Financial Technology Operations

Average daily gaming and fintech deposits increased from approximately $29.9 million in July to $30.9 million in September. This upward trend is an encouraging early sign that the Company's gaming and fintech strategy is beginning to gain traction. Gaming-related credit card transaction volume was $19.5 million in the third quarter, compared with $84.2 million in the second quarter. Net interchange fee income declined 84.6% to $0.3 million following changes in credit card funding practices by several large sports betting operators. The Company remains committed to its broader gaming payments strategy, which it expects to develop over the long term and does not expect to contribute materially to financial results in the near term.

The Company is making progress across its developing gaming and payments programs. The Distill Taverns fully launched the BoltBetz application across all nine of its Las Vegas locations in September, with early adoption showing encouraging momentum. Terrible's is expected to launch BoltBetz in early November at three locations with a full rollout planned during 2027. Integration of the BVNKROLL payments infrastructure with the AXES digital casino management system is continuing and should be completed by year end 2026. The LuckyLoads prepaid card is now expected to be launched during the second quarter of 2027. The Company expects to provide additional updates as these programs reach meaningful milestones.
