Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $158.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield decreased by 12 basis points to 6.37% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the declining interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the loan portfolio. Average interest-bearing cash and other assets decreased by $131.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Interest-bearing cash and other assets yield decreased by 57 basis points to 3.68% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the declining interest rate environment.
Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $60.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 21 basis points to 2.60% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to rate decreases for certificates of deposit and money market deposits amidst the declining interest rate environment and a decrease in certificates of deposit balances. Average other long-term borrowings decreased $39.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Cost of other long-term borrowings decreased 259 basis points to 5.82% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the redemption of $40.0 million of subordinated notes.
Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses totaled $6.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to impacts from net portfolio downgrades.
Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $5.0 million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.30%, compared to net charge-offs of $9.1 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.55% for the prior quarter. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 were elevated primarily due to a write-down related to a specific customer relationship in our C&I loan portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.27% at December 31, 2025, an increase of one basis point from the prior quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.85% at December 31, 2025, compared to 0.98% at September 30, 2025.

Noninterest income totaled $26.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.4 million from the prior quarter. Income from mortgage banking services decreased $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, from the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in net MSR capitalization resulting from higher balance runoff in the servicing portfolio. Other noninterest income increased $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in loan syndication fees and swap fee income, partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan.
Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue2 was 24.3%, a decrease of 0.2% from the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $72.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.1 million from the prior quarter. Salary and employee benefits decreased $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan and a reduction in medical insurance costs. Other noninterest expenses increased $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the prior quarter, primarily due to the acceleration of remaining deferred expenses related to the $40.0 million subordinated notes redemption and maintenance expenses incurred related to OREO properties. Merger related expenses increased $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release (including the tables beginning on page 21) contains financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). FirstSun management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of FirstSun’s performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant items in the current period. FirstSun believes a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance. FirstSun management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release:
•Tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets;
•Tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets, reflecting net unrealized losses on HTM securities, net of tax;

FirstSun Capital Bancorp | 2 Disclaimers Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking information and statements by FirstSun Capital Bancorp (the “Company”) within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward- looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “project”, “intend”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “assume”, “assumptions”, “view”, “continue”, “opportunity”, and “outlook” or other similar expressions, and in this presentation include our outlook regarding our loan portfolio, deposit mix, net interest income, noninterest income, noninterest expense, asset quality, capital and liquidity, as well as our 2026 Full Year Standalone Financial Outlook and related notes and assumptions. All statements in this presentation speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we do not intend or assume any obligation to update, revise or clarify any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among others, the following: changes in interest rates (including anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts that might not occur) and their related impact on macroeconomic conditions, customer behavior, our funding costs and our loan and securities portfolios; the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios and changes therein; failure to maintain our mortgage production flow to secondary markets; the sufficiency of liquidity and changes in our capital position; the inability of our infrastructure initiatives to reduce expenses; increased deposit volatility; potential regulatory developments; U.S. and global trade policies and tensions, including change in, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or trade barriers and the economic impacts, volatility and uncertainty resulting therefrom, and geopolitical instability; the possibility that our previously announced merger with First Foundation Inc. (“First Foundation) does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, stockholder or other approvals and conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that the proposed First Foundation merger, including the re- positioning strategy, will not be completed as planned, or achieve the anticipated benefits; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the proposed First Foundation merger; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the First Foundation merger agreement; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed First Foundation merger, including anticipated cost savings and synergies, are not realized when expected or at all, including because of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the companies or as a result of the strength of the economy, competitive factors in the areas where we do business, or because of other unexpected factors or events; and other general competitive, economic, business, market and political conditions. We caution readers that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, is not necessarily in order of importance and readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning additional factors that could materially affect the forward-looking statements in this presentation can be found in the cautionary language included under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 2026 Outlook - Basis and Limitations Our 2026 Standalone Full Year Financial Outlook and 2026 Outlook (collectively, the “outlook”) reflects management’s current expectations regarding certain financial and operating metrics and related assumptions as of January 26, 2026. Unless otherwise noted, outlook metrics represent full-year expectations on a standalone basis (Company only) and exclude the financial impact of the pending First Foundation merger. The outlook is provided for convenience and should not be regarded as a guarantee of future results. Actual results, conditions or outcomes may differ materially. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in the above heading. We undertake no obligation to update or affirm the outlook, except as required by law. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures appearing in the outlook should be read together with “Use of Non-GAAP Measures.”


 
FirstSun Capital Bancorp | 3 Disclaimers (cont’d) Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include certain operating performance measures that exclude merger-related and other charges that are not considered part of the Company’s recurring operations, such as “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Return on Average Total Assets”, “Return on Average Tangible Stockholders Equity”, “Adjusted Return on Average Tangible Stockholders’ Equity”, “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share”, “Adjusted and Pre-tax Pre-provision Return on Average Assets”, “Adjusted Efficiency Ratio”, “TBV per Share”, “Price / TBV”, “Price / LTM Adjusted EPS”, and “Credit Adjusted NIM”. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant items in the current period. The Company believes a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance. The Company’s management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful and that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the Company’s performance trends. Further, the Company’s management uses these measures in managing and evaluating the Company’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions about the Company’s operations and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to substitute for measures that are determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Day-Count Convention Annualized ratios are presented utilizing the Actual/Actual day-count convention. Annualized ratios have been recalculated to conform to the current presentation for periods prior to March 31, 2025. Market, Industry and Statistical Data Certain market and industry data used in this presentation are based on third-party sources, publicly available information and internal estimates.

We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. The unavailable information could be material to future GAAP results, and we cannot quantify its probable significance because such items are inherently uncertain and depend on future events. 3Represents a non-GAAP financial measure.
