Outlook and guidance

• Q4 NIM is expected to expand as ~25% of loans and acquired assets reprice; deposit-cost pressure is expected to persist.

• Loan growth is expected at a mid-single-digit pace through year-end 2026 and into 2027; higher rates may weigh on demand despite healthy commercial and CRE pipelines.

• 2027 NIM outlook depends on Fed policy: modest expansion under stable or higher rates, versus flat to moderate compression if rates decline.

• Pacific Financial synergies target 40%: 10% achieved, another 20% expected from Jan. 1, 2027, and the final 10% by mid-2027; operating-efficiency investments are intended to support positive operating leverage.
