• Non-interest expense was $96.3M versus $102.8M QoQ and $96.5M YoY; the sequential decline primarily reflected the absence of $5.8M in Q2 operational charges.

Outlook and guidance

• FY loan growth is expected in the low single digits, with commercial growth more than offsetting anticipated auto declines; a strong pipeline could support growth above the outlook.

• Deposit growth excluding government balances is expected, supported by Libre, Elite, and My Biz accounts.

• NIM is expected near 5.25% for the rest of 2026, assuming one additional 25-bp rate hike in December; the hike is expected to have limited Q4 impact.

• FY non-interest expenses are expected near $385M, excluding the $5.8M Q2 operational charge; estimated tax rate remains 22.5%, excluding discrete items.

• Strategy emphasizes commercial lending, digital banking, higher non-interest revenue, customer integration, and operating efficiency; investment in people and technology supports customer experience and scalability.
