C.J. Johnson, President and CEO of Mechanics, said, “We had a strong second quarter financially and substantially completed our merger with HomeStreet. We also successfully sold our Fannie Mae DUS business line and paid $162 million in cash dividends during the quarter. Our merger was an unqualified success and I am very grateful to our employees for a job well-done on the integration. I look forward to getting back to “business as usual” and believe Mechanics is well-positioned for future growth.”

Nathan Duda, CFO of Mechanics, added, “Our second quarter results demonstrated the underlying earnings power of the franchise as we continued to realize merger-related cost savings, reduced our funding costs and maintained a stable net interest margin. While we continue to incur certain integration-related expenses, the benefits of the HomeStreet merger are increasingly evident in our results.”

Presentation of Results – HomeStreet Bank Merger

On September 2, 2025, the merger of HomeStreet Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of Mechanics Bancorp (formerly known as HomeStreet, Inc.) with and into Mechanics Bank, was completed. Mechanics Bank is the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree), HomeStreet Bank is the accounting acquiree and Mechanics Bancorp is the legal acquirer. Mechanics’ financial results for all periods ended prior to September 2, 2025 reflect Mechanics Bank’s historical financial results on a standalone basis and results of the combined company beginning September 2, 2025. In addition, for periods prior to September 2, 2025, the number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Mechanics have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the merger since the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As the accounting acquirer, Mechanics Bank remeasured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger as of September 2, 2025 at their acquisition date fair values. The estimates of fair value were recorded based on valuations as of the merger date. These estimates are considered preliminary as of June 30, 2026, are subject to change for up to one year after the merger date, and any changes could be material.

Adoption of Purchased Seasoned Loans Accounting Standard

The Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08, “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans,” during the fourth quarter of 2025. This new standard, which the Company elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2025, requires acquired loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition (purchased seasoned loans) to be recognized at their purchase price plus the amount of the allowance for expected credit losses (gross-up approach). As a result, for purchased seasoned loans acquired in the HomeStreet merger, the Company established an allowance for credit losses of $20.3 million at the date of acquisition for these loans and reversed the provision for credit losses recorded in the third quarter of 2025, and recorded it as part of the acquired loans initial amortized cost basis. Required disclosures regarding the impact of the adoption were presented when the Company filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, third quarter 2025 results will be retrospectively adjusted when the Company files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

The impact of the adoption is reflected in the comparative prior period results as of September 30, 2025 presented in this earnings release.

Net Interest Income

Second Quarter of 2026 vs. First Quarter of 2026

Net interest income in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.9 million lower than the first quarter of 2026 primarily as a result of a decrease in average interest earning assets of $468.4 million, partially offset by lower interest expense on certificates of deposit. Mechanics’ net interest margin increased from 3.61% to 3.62% primarily due to runoff of higher cost certificates of deposit.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $97.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase of $4.7 billion in average interest-earning assets, as well as an increase in net interest margin from 3.44% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 3.61% in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as a result of the HomeStreet merger.

Provision for Credit Losses

Second Quarter of 2026 vs. First Quarter of 2026

The reversal of provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026, which consists of the provision for loans and unfunded commitments, was $2.8 million, compared to a provision of $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. The reversal of provision for the second quarter was primarily driven by the combination of an increase in modeled loss rates for multifamily loans, the elimination of economic qualitative adjustments now that the Middle East conflict and corresponding economic impact are embedded in expected loss rate modeling, and a reduction in residential construction and HELOC unfunded commitments.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

The provision for credit losses was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a reversal of provision of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in provision for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by an increase in modeled loss rates for multifamily loans during 2026, offset slightly by downward qualitative adjustments and lower balances. The increase in provision was partially offset by a reduction in the unfunded commitments reserve.

Noninterest Income

Second Quarter of 2026 vs. First Quarter of 2026

Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.8 million from the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher other noninterest income from the gain on sale of the Fannie Mae Multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS®”) business line and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $10.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher loan servicing income, ATM network fee income and other noninterest income, which were all driven by the HomeStreet merger. In addition, the increase in other noninterest income resulted from the gain on sale of the DUS business line and a mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment. The increases in noninterest income were partially offset by lower gain on sales and calls of investment securities.

Noninterest Expense

Second Quarter of 2026 vs. First Quarter of 2026

Noninterest expense decreased $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expense from a decrease in headcount as a result of integration following the HomeStreet merger.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Noninterest expense increased $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy costs, equipment expense, amortization of intangibles and acquisition and integration related costs from the HomeStreet merger.

Income Taxes

Second Quarter of 2026 vs. First Quarter of 2026

Our effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2026 was 27.2% as compared to 28.7% in the first quarter of 2026 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate decreased compared to the prior quarter as a result of a $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the first quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 27.9% as compared to 28.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and our federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective tax rate decreased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of a lower state tax rate due to more taxable income being apportioned to states with lower tax rates and an increase in tax exempt investments and loans, both a result of the HomeStreet merger. These were partially offset by the $1.7 million remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the current year.

Investment Securities

Trading securities totaled $46.6 million and $49.5 million at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. Securities available-for-sale increased by $185.5 million during the second quarter of 2026 to $4.1 billion at June 30, 2026, primarily due to purchases of agency MBS, partially offset by paydowns. Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $26.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, due to paydowns, and totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026.

Loans

Total loans at June 30, 2026 were $13.6 billion, a decrease of $276.0 million from $13.9 billion at March 31, 2026, due primarily to loan repayments during the quarter, partially offset by originations.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $153.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 to $18.1 billion at June 30, 2026. The decrease was due to $199.2 million certificates of deposit runoff, partially offset by $45.9 million of core deposit growth.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $6.4 billion and represented 35% of total deposits at June 30, 2026, compared to $6.5 billion, or 36% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026.

Borrowings

Total borrowings were $80.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to zero at March 31, 2026. The increase in the second quarter of 2026 was due to short-term Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowings during the quarter.

Equity

During the second quarter of 2026, total shareholders’ equity decreased by $101.5 million to $2.7 billion and tangible common equity (1) increased slightly by $5.9 million, and was $1.75 billion at June 30, 2026. The decrease in total shareholders’ equity for the second quarter of 2026 primarily resulted from a net decrease in retained earnings in the second quarter of 2026 from net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders. Tangible common equity remained relatively flat due to the reduction in intangibles from the sale of the DUS business line, which offset the decrease in total shareholders’ equity.

At June 30, 2026, book value per common share decreased to $12.15, compared to $12.61 at March 31, 2026. At June 30, 2026, tangible book value per common share (1) increased to $7.56, compared to $7.53 at March 31, 2026.

Prior period comparative disclosures for September 30, 2025 reflect the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-08.

At June 30, 2026, total delinquent loans were $95.4 million, compared to $77.0 million at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to two matured commercial real estate loans that became past due during the quarter and were in process of refinance or extension as of June 30, 2026. Total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.70% at June 30, 2026, as compared to 0.56% at March 31, 2026.

At June 30, 2026, nonperforming assets were $59.4 million, compared to $53.1 million at March 31, 2026. The slight increase was primarily due to additional single family, home equity and multifamily nonperforming loans during the quarter, partially offset by $2.4 million of foreclosed assets sold. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.28% at June 30, 2026, as compared to 0.25% at March 31, 2026.

Ratios are annualized.

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $152.6 million, or 1.12% of total loans at June 30, 2026, compared to $156.8 million, or 1.13% of total loans at March 31, 2026. The decrease in allowance was the result of a decrease in qualitative factors across loan types, with the greatest impact on commercial real estate loans due to the size of the portfolio, partially offset by higher expected loss rates due to a weaker economic outlook stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in this earnings release, including statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, strategies, beliefs, or future performance or events, are forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “look,” “may,” “optimistic,” “plan,” “potential,” “projection,” “should,” “will,” and “would” and similar expressions (or the negative of these terms), although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, estimates, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any results, performance or events expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the following factors, among others, may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations in the forward-looking statements, including those set forth in this earnings release:

  • substantial non-recurring and integration costs, which may be greater than anticipated due to unexpected events;

  • failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the HomeStreet merger;

  • our ability to effectively manage our expanded operations;

  • negative developments and events impacting the financial services industry;

  • the soundness of other financial institutions;

  • our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, or an increase in the cost of liquidity;

  • unpredictable economic, market and business conditions;

  • interest rate risk, and fluctuations in interest rates;

  • inflationary pressures and rising prices;

  • adverse changes in real estate market values;

  • the impact of climate change, including indirectly through impacts on our customers;

  • the adequacy of our allowances for credit losses for loans and debt securities;

  • incurring losses in our loan portfolio despite strict adherence to our underwriting practices;

  • fluctuations in our mortgage origination business based upon seasonal and other factors;

  • our geographic concentration, which may magnify the adverse effects and consequences of any regional or local economic downturn;

  • the accuracy of independent appraisals to determine the value of the real estate that secures a substantial portion of our loans;

  • the ability of our small- to medium-sized borrowers to weather adverse business developments;

  • our ability to fully identify and mitigate exposure to the various risks that we face, including interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risk;

  • our ability to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk;

  • negative publicity regarding us, or financial institutions in general;

  • environmental liability risk associated with our lending activities;

  • our ability to manage risks associated with new lines of business, products, product enhancements and services;

  • our ability to adapt our services to changes in the marketplace related to mortgage servicing or origination, technology or in changes in the requirements of governmental authorities and customers;

  • our ability to develop, implement and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting;

  • the potential that we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements;

  • the potential that we may write off goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from business combinations;

  • dependence on our management team;

  • exposure to fraudulent and negligent acts by our customers and the parties they do business with, as well as from employees, contractors and vendors;

  • legal claims and litigation, including potential securities law liabilities;

  • employee class action lawsuits or other legal proceedings;

  • our ability to raise additional capital, if needed;

  • competition from other financial institutions and financial service companies;

  • regulatory restrictions that may delay, impede or prohibit our ability to consider certain acquisitions and opportunities;

  • extensive supervision and regulation that could restrict our activities and impose financial requirements or limitations on the conduct of our business and limit our ability to generate income;

  • our ability to comply with stringent capital requirements;

  • the impact of federal and state regulators’ examination of our business;

  • our ability to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations;

  • our reliance on dividends from Mechanics Bank;

  • increasing and continually evolving cybersecurity and other technological risks;

  • our ability to adapt to rapid technological change;

  • our ability to effectively implement new technological solutions or enhancements to existing systems or platforms;

  • our ability to manage risks and challenges relating to the development and use of artificial intelligence;

  • our dependence on our computer and communications systems;

  • our ability to effectively manage and aggregate data;

  • Ford Financial Funds and their controlled affiliates control approximately 77% of the voting power of Mechanics Bancorp, and have the ability to elect all of our directors and control most other matters submitted to our shareholders for approval;

  • we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance standards;

  • future sales of shares by existing shareholders could cause our stock price to decline;

  • our reliance on certain entities affiliated with the Ford Financial Funds for services;

  • reduced disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company; and

  • certain of our shareholders have registration rights, the exercise of which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

A discussion of the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results, business goals and operational and financial objectives is also contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We strongly recommend readers review those disclosures in conjunction with the discussions herein. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, and should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results or future events.

Forward-looking statements in this earnings release are based on management’s expectations at the time such statements are made and speak only as of the date made. We do not assume any obligation or undertake to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this earnings release as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by federal securities or other applicable laws, although we may do so from time to time.

All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and factors that we currently deem immaterial may become material, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures of our financial performance, including return on average tangible equity, efficiency ratio (excluding the impact of intangible amortization), tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance, without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets. However, these financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, its GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures Mechanics presents may differ from similarly captioned measures presented by other companies. The following tables present the calculations of our non-GAAP financial measures.
