(1)    This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
(2)    Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.3 million for the prior quarter and $14.6 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in the Bank’s average balances for the Strategic Program loans held-for-sale portfolio of $39.8 million and the held for investment portfolio of $31.1 million, partially offset by the reversal of interest on new nonaccrual loans and increased average balances in brokered certificates of deposit accounts. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to volume increases in loans held-for-sale and held for investment portfolios and rate reductions in the brokered CD portfolio partially offset by growth of deposits, particularly brokered certificates of deposit, to support the growth of the loan portfolio. Our strategy to reduce the risk profile of FinWise by growing our loan portfolio with better credit quality but lower yielding loan products is reflected in the increased net interest income but with a lower average yield compared to earlier periods.

Loan originations totaled $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.3 billion for the prior quarter and $1.2 billion for the prior year period reflecting new partners ramping up originations and certain long-term partners growing originations.

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 7.81%, compared to 8.27% for the prior quarter and 10.31% for the prior year period. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior quarter and prior year period was attributable to accrued interest reversals on loans migrating to nonaccrual status totaling $0.6 million as well as the continued addition of higher quality but lower yielding loans as FinWise continues to diversify and stabilize its loan portfolio.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company’s provision for credit losses was $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.3 million for the prior quarter and $2.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in the provision for credit losses from the prior quarter and the prior year period resulted primarily from higher net charge-offs and growth of the credit enhanced loan portfolio offset in part by a change in qualitative factors for certain low risk segments of the owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. Also contributing to the increase in the provision for credit losses from the prior year period was the expansion in both Strategic Program loans held-for-investment and other held for investment loans.

Non-interest Income
Three Months Ended
($ in thousands) 6/30/2025 3/31/2025 6/30/2024
Non-interest income      
Strategic Program fees $ 5,404  $ 4,962  $ 4,035 
Gain on sale of loans 1,483  846  356 
SBA loan servicing fees, net (96) 178  204

Credit enhancement income 2,275  85  39 
Other miscellaneous income 971  1,339  732 
Total non-interest income $ 10,337  $ 7,810  $ 5,166 

The increase in non-interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to increases in credit enhancement income, gain on sale of loans, and increased Strategic Program fees. Credit enhancement income mirrors the provision for credit losses on credit enhanced loans and increased due to the higher credit enhanced loan balances outstanding at June 30, 2025. The gain on sale of loans increased as FinWise increased its sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loan balances to capitalize on favorable market conditions. The higher Strategic Program fees resulted from increased originations. Offsetting these non-interest income increases in part were decreases in SBA loan servicing fees due to an increase in the provision for SBA servicing losses, and a decrease in other miscellaneous income due primarily to a decrease in dividends received from BFG for the quarter.

The increase in non-interest income from the prior year period was primarily due to the increase in credit enhancement income due to the higher credit enhanced loan balance, an increase in Strategic Program fees related to higher originations and the gain on loan sales related to the increased sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loan balances.

Non-interest Expense
Three Months Ended
($ in thousands) 6/30/2025 3/31/2025 6/30/2024
Non-interest expense      
Salaries and employee benefits $ 10,491  $ 9,826  $ 8,609 
Professional services 949  907  1,282 
Occupancy and equipment expenses 445  543  556 
Credit enhancement expense 78  11  — 
Other operating expenses 2,949  3,031  2,771 
Total non-interest expense $ 14,912  $ 14,318  $ 13,218 

The increase in non-interest expense from the prior quarter resulted from increases in salaries and employee benefits mainly as a result of annual compensation reviews and resulting compensation increases and deferred compensation award amortization, incurred to retain and motivate our employees. The increase in non-interest expense from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits due mainly to increasing headcount in the first half of 2024, and amortization of deferred compensation awards.

FinWise’s efficiency ratio was 59.5% for the second quarter, a decline from the 64.8% from the prior quarter and 66.8% for the prior year period. The efficiency ratio decline resulted primarily from the increase in credit enhanced income previously discussed. It is anticipated that the efficiency ratio will decline further as revenues are realized in future periods from interest earned on credit enhanced loan balances as well as the BIN sponsorship and payments initiatives developed during 2023 and 2024.

Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.5% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 28.1% for the prior quarter and 23.9% for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter was principally due to the change in estimated disallowed compensation expense relative to full year net income expectations. The increase from the prior year period was due primarily to higher estimated disallowed compensation estimates.

Net Income
Net income was $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.2 million for the prior quarter and $3.2 million for the prior year period. The changes in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior quarter and prior year period are the result of the factors discussed above.

Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $842.5 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase from $804.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and $617.8 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to continued growth in the Company’s net loans held-for-investment and loans held-for-sale portfolios of $34.1 million and $28.5 million, respectively. The increase in total assets compared to June 30, 2024 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s net loans held-for-investment and loans held-for-sale portfolios of $108.0 million and $80.7 million, respectively, as well as an increase in investment securities available-for-sale of $30.1 million. The increased loan balances are consistent with our strategy to grow the loan portfolio with higher quality lower risk assets.

The following table provides the composition and gross balances of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”) as of the dates indicated:

Note: SBA loans as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 include $144.3 million, $150.0 million and $147.8 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA. The HFI balance on Strategic Program loans with annual interest rates below 36% as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $5.7 million, $3.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Total gross loans HFI as of June 30, 2025 increased $37.8 million and $115.7 million compared to March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company experienced growth primarily in its commercial real estate - owner occupied and commercial leases consistent with its strategy to increase its loan portfolio with higher quality, lower rate loans. The credit enhanced portfolio of the Strategic Program loans increased $10.4 million in the quarter to $11.7 million consistent with the strategy to serve this need of our Strategic Program customers.

The following table presents the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

Total period end deposits
$ 635,174  100.0  % $ 605,759  100.0  % $ 429,195  100.0  %

The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2025 from March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by increases in brokered time certificates of deposits, which were added to fund loan growth and provide balance sheet liquidity. The increase in total deposits from June 30, 2024 was also driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, primarily due to growth from new and existing customer relationships.

Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2025 increased $4.6 million to $182.0 million from $177.4 million at March 31, 2025. Compared to June 30, 2024, total shareholders’ equity increased by $16.2 million from $165.8 million. The increase from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the Company’s net income and stock-based compensation. The increase from June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the Company’s net income and stock-based compensation, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios
The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated as determined under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation:
As of  
Capital Ratios
6/30/2025   3/31/2025   6/30/2024   Well-Capitalized Requirement
Leverage ratio
18.0% 18.8% 20.8% 9.0%

The decrease in the leverage ratio from the prior quarter and prior year period primarily results from the growth in the loan portfolio exceeding the relative growth in capital from earnings. The Bank’s capital levels remain significantly above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines as of June 30, 2025.

Share Repurchase Program
Since the share repurchase program’s inception in March 2024, the Company has repurchased and subsequently retired a total of 44,608 shares for $0.5 million. There were no shares repurchased during the second quarter of 2025.

Asset Quality
The recorded balances of nonperforming loans were $39.7 million, or 7.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $29.9 million, or 6.1% of total loans held-for-investment, as of March 31, 2025 and $27.9 million, or 6.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2024. The balances of nonperforming loans guaranteed by the SBA were $21.2 million, $15.1 million, and $16.0 million as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in the SBA 7(a) loan portfolio being classified as non-accrual mainly due to the negative impact of sustained elevated interest rates on the Company’s small business borrowers. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans held-for-investment was 3.1% as of June 30, 2025 compared to 2.9% as of March 31, 2025 and 3.2% as of June 30, 2024. The increase in the ratio from the prior quarter was primarily due to the provision for credit losses related to the growth of the credit enhanced loan balances offset in part by a change in qualitative factors for a subsegment of owner occupied commercial real estate. The slight decrease in the ratio from the prior year period was primarily due to the shift in our Strategic Program held-for-investment loan balances to programs with lower historical losses and the referenced change in qualitative factors offset in large part by the increase in the allowance for credit losses resulting from the credit enhancement loan portfolio increase.

The Company’s net charge-offs were $2.8 million, $2.2 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to charge-offs of certain held-for-investment balances upon moving to nonaccrual status.

FinWise has entered into agreements with certain of its Strategic Program service providers pursuant to which they provide credit enhancement on loans which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing the Bank for incurred credit and fraud losses. We estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these Strategic Program loans in accordance with GAAP, which requires estimation of the provision without consideration of the credit enhancement. When the provision for expected losses over the life of the loans that are subject to such credit enhancement is recorded, a credit enhancement asset reflecting the potential future recovery of those losses is also recorded on the balance sheet in the form of non-interest income (credit enhancement income). Reimbursement or indemnification for incurred losses is provided for in the form of a deposit reserve account that is replenished periodically by the respective Strategic Program service provider. Any remaining income on such loans in excess of the amounts retained by FinWise and placed in the deposit reserve account are expensed and paid to the Strategic Program service provider for services provided by the Strategic Program service provider including its legal commitment to indemnify or reimburse all credit losses pursuant to credit enhancement agreements. The credit enhancement asset is reduced as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the Strategic Program service provider or taken from its cash reserve account. If the Strategic Program service provider is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations under its credit enhancement agreement, then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income as a result of this counterparty risk. See the following reconciliations of non-GAAP measures for the impact of the credit enhancement on our financial condition and results. Note that these amounts are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.
The following non-GAAP measures are presented to illustrate the impact of certain credit enhancement expenses on total interest income on loans held-for-investment and average yield on loans held-for-investment:

Market and industry data This presentation includes estimates regarding market and industry data. Certain information is based on management estimates, which have been derived from third-party sources, as well as data from our internal research. While we believe the estimated market and industry data included in this presentation are generally reliable, such information, which is derived in part from management’s estimates and beliefs, is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Non-GAAP financial measures Some of the financial measures included in this presentation are not measures of financial performance recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are “tangible shareholders’ equity,” “tangible book value per share,” and “efficiency ratio.” We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors; however, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. As such, you should not view these measures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely related GAAP financial measures is included in the Appendix to this presentation.

Disciplined Expense Management While Investing for Growth Longer-term increase in Total Non-interest Expense has been driven largely by business infrastructure spend, including headcount, to support organic growth and key strategic initiatives. 2025 Commentary: Remain focused on positive operating leverage; Expense growth to be correlated to revenue production. NOTE: reported efficiency ratio was 59.5% in 2Q25.

Diversified Income Sources 25 1 Other Non-interest Income includes all other non-interest income items, excluding Strategic Program Fees. NOTE: 2Q25's NIM of 7.81% was driven primarily by further additions of higher quality but lower yielding loans, as we continue to diversify the loan portfolio, as well as accrued interest reversals totaling $600,000 on loans migrating to nonaccrual status.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations 28 (1) Tangible shareholders’ equity: This measure is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee asset as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated. (2) Efficiency Ratio: This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

Glossary of Terms Used 30 ACH (The Automated Clearing House). Electronic funds-transfer system that facilitates payments in the U.S. and internationally. The ACH is run by Nacha. API (Application Programming Interface). Set of defined rules that enable different applications to communicate with each other. It acts as an intermediary layer that processes data transfers between systems, letting companies open their application data and functionality to external third-party developers, business partners, and internal departments within their companies. Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS). Banking model in which licensed banks integrate their digital banking services directly into the products of other non-bank businesses. This allows non-bank businesses to offer their customers digital banking services such as mobile bank accounts, debit cards, loans and payment services, without needing to acquire a banking license of their own. The bank's system communicates via APIs and webhooks with that of the non-bank's business, enabling the end customer to access banking services directly through the non-bank’s website or app. BIN (Bank Identification Number) Sponsorship. BIN sponsorship allows fintech businesses to quickly gain direct access to the payment processing and card management services provided by the likes of Visa or Mastercard without going through the process of joining a major card scheme. It provides fintechs with quickest way to launch a financial product with a debit, credit or prepaid card attached. Credit Enhanced Balance Sheet. FinWise generates interest income from existing and potential new strategic programs through contractual interest earned on loans maintained on the FinWise balance sheet. Fintech strategic programs using this product are required to hold a deposit account at FinWise against which charge-offs are recovered, and which is trued up monthly post any charge-offs. FedNow. The clearing service for financial institutions to provide immediate end-to-end payments to customers. The key difference between this service and the Fed’s previous system is that FedNow will be online 24/7, processing transactions in real time. HFI (Held for Investment). When a reporting entity holds an originated or purchased loan for which it has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity or payoff, the loan should be classified as held-for-investment. Loans held for investment are reported on the balance sheet at their amortized cost basis. HFS (Held for Sale). When a reporting entity originates or purchases a loan with the intent to sell the loan to another entity (e.g., a government sponsored enterprise). Mastercard RPPS (Remote Payment and Presentment Service). Mastercard RPPS optimizes electronic bill payment by connecting banks to billers. It offers a single, reliable connection for electronic payment providers to help with fast & secure consumer bill payments. Mastercard Send. Mastercard’s offering in the real-time personal payments arena. Senders can immediately make “push payments” to bank accounts, mobile wallets, prepaid debit cards, or targeted cash- out locations. The sender can initiate a Mastercard Send transaction with just the recipient’s debit card number. MoneyRailsTM is FinWise's Payments hub, which is a single-window platform through which companies can execute all their payments, and issue virtual cards. MoneyRails also provides the ability to safeguard funds in an array of account types: FBO and subaccounts to satisfy FinTechs’ deposit needs, as well as traditional Savings, Checking, Certificate of Deposits, etc. . Payment hubs increase fund control and visibility, reduce the risk associated with numerous fragmented payment processes, and improve overall operating efficiency.

Strategic Program Lending - SPL (sometimes referred as Marketplace Lending). Lending predominately done through fintech platforms that connect borrowers with lenders. TBV: Tangible Book Value The Clearing House RTP. A real-time payments platform that all federally insured U.S. depository institutions are eligible to use for payments innovation. All RTP payments are processed by The Clearing House. When you pay your utility bill for the month using RTP, your bank sends message to network which includes the details of the payment. The Clearing House then processes the message and routes it to utility company's bank, completing the payment. Visa Direct. A type of Original Credit Transaction (OCT) that allows fast and secure payment transfers to customers using their card details. Unlike with other payment methods, where it can typically take up to 24 hours for the funds to be transferred to the customer, Visa Direct transactions normally complete near-instantly.
