## Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 55,634 characters.

### Overview

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Montana chartered commercial bank that focuses on both consumer and commercial lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. The Bank’s primary component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by changes in market interest rates. The Bank also generates noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with a large portion of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). The Bank has also focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve our ability to manage our interest rate spread. Recent acquisitions have added to our agricultural loans, which generally have shorter maturities and nominally higher interest rates. This has provided additional interest income and improved interest rate sensitivity. The Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio which provides a steady source of fee income. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits and certificates of deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.

Management continues to focus on improving the Bank’s earnings. Management believes the Bank needs to continue to concentrate on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the statement of financial condition in an efficient manner. Though deposit growth has been steady, it may become more difficult to maintain due to significant competition and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee changed the federal funds target rate from 1.75% to 0.25% during the year ended December 31, 2020. The rate remained at 0.25% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The rate reductions add continued pressure on loan yields.

### Recent Events

### Tender Offer

The Company completed a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") in June 2021. The Company accepted for purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $24.00 per share on June 23, 2021. The aggregate purchase price for the shares purchased in the Tender Offer was approximately $6.28 million, including fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. Therefore, the total price including fees and expenses was $25.12 per share.

The Company sold 251,256 shares of common stock to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") at a price of $23.88 per share on June 23, 2021. The shares were purchased from Eagle by the ESOP in exchange for a loan totaling $6.00 million. The loan has a ten-year term and bears interest at 3.00%. The shares held by the ESOP will be used for allocations to employees of the Company over a ten-year period.

### COVID-19

The Company’s performance for the second quarter of 2021 extended the momentum from the first quarter of 2021, generating solid earnings supported by net interest income growth and higher loan production. However, the Company continues to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences on our Montana communities. The Bank remains focused on supporting our customers, communities and employees while prudently managing risk. The Bank is also still closely monitoring borrowers and businesses serviced and is providing debt service relief for those that have been impacted.

### COVID-19 – continued

On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) providing economic relief for the country, including the $349 billion Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) to fund short-term loans for small businesses. In April 2020, additional funding was approved for the PPP. Eagle began taking loan applications from its small business clients immediately after the program was implemented, and as of the close of the program, had helped 764 customers receive $45.71 million in SBA PPP loans. The Bank has processed applications for PPP loan forgiveness for customers, with 682 loans representing $39.78 million now paid in full. The remaining 82 PPP loans represent $5.93 million.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) was signed into law, providing new COVID-19 stimulus relief, and it included $284 billion allocated for another round of PPP lending, extending the program to March 31, 2021. On March 31, 2021, the program was extended to May 31, 2021. The program offers new PPP loans for companies that did not receive a PPP loan in 2020, and also “second draw” loans targeted at hard-hit businesses that have already spent their initial PPP proceeds. As of the close of the program, Eagle supported 646 borrowers receiving $19.51 million in new PPP funding. The Bank has processed applications for PPP loan forgiveness for customers, with 142 loans representing $2.81 million now paid in full. The remaining 504 PPP loans represent $16.70 million.

While all industries have and may continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had exposures in the following impacted industries, as a percentage of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale and PPP loans as of June 30, 2021: hotels and lodging (5.7%), health and social assistance (3.8%), bars and restaurants (2.7%), casinos (1.0%) and nursing homes (0.5%). The Bank continues to reach out to specific borrowers to assess the risks and understand their needs.

The Bank has offered multiple accommodation options to its clients, including 90-day deferrals, forbearances and interest only payments. In addition, the Montana Board of Investments ("MBOI") offered 12-months of interest payment assistance to qualified borrowers. As of June 30, 2021, remaining loan modifications for 28 nonresidential borrowers represented $17.52 million in loans, or 2.0% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, compared to 40 borrowers representing $29.00 million, or 3.5% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, as of December 31, 2020. The Bank qualified 32 borrowers for the MBOI program representing $27.25 million in loans, of which $17.42 million is included in modification totals as of June 30, 2021. No loans approved in the MBOI loan program were considered a troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loan as of June 30, 2021 Only one loan in the hotel and lodging industry was approved in the MBOI loan program and was considered a TDR loan as of December 31, 2020. This loan has since aged out of the MBOI program. No other loans that had been modified related to COVID-19 were reported as TDR’s due to the CARES Act exemption. As of June 30, 2021, there remain approximately 21 forbearances approved for residential mortgage loans, of which 19 are sold and serviced. Utilization of credit lines were 80.2% at June 30, 2021 compared to 82.7% at December 31, 2020, which aligns with historical usage rates.

Our fee income could still be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, early withdrawal fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact our fee income in future periods.

As of June 30, 2021, our capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

As of December 31, 2020, our goodwill was not impaired. COVID-19 could cause a decline in our stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a noncash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2021 we had goodwill of $20.80 million.

The State of Montana ended their phased approach to reopening and lifted the state-wide mask mandate on February 12, 2021. On March 22, 2021, all of our lobbies opened while still requiring everyone to practice necessary safeguards. As of May 7, 2021, masks were no longer required for the Bank's branches, customers or vendors. The Company remains committed to assisting our customers and communities as the vaccine rollout continues and COVID-19 restrictions lift in Montana. Management is encouraging its employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine upon availability.

### Acquisitions

The Bank has used growth through mergers or acquisition in addition to its strategy of organic growth. In January 2020, Eagle acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point ("WHC"), a Montana corporation, and WHC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. In the transaction, Eagle acquired one retail bank branch in Wolf Point, Montana.

### Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are between June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Total assets were $1.36 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.73 million, or 8.1% from $1.26 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was largely due to an increase in securities available-for-sale and loans receivable, net. Securities available-for-sale increased by $71.04 million from December 31, 2020. Loans receivable, net increased by $32.53 million from December 31, 2020. Total liabilities were $1.21 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.91 million, or 9.2%, from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was largely due to an increase in deposits, partially offset by a reduction in FHLB advances and other borrowings. Total deposits increased by $112.52 million from December 31, 2020. However, FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $7.77 million from December 31, 2020. Total shareholders’ equity decreased slightly by $194,000 from December 31, 2020.

(1) Excludes loans held-for-sale.

Loans receivable, netincreased $32.53 million, or 3.9%, to $862.03 million at June 30, 2021 from $829.50 million at December 31, 2020. Total commercial real estate loans increased $50.03 million and total commercial loans increased $1.03 million. However, these increases were partially offset by decreases in total residential loans of $15.47 million, consumer loans of $1.31 million, and home equity loans of $824,000.

Total loan originations were $785.74 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Total residential 1-4 family originations were $590.48 million, which includes $558.17 million of loans held-for-sale originations. Total commercial real estate originations were $118.72 million. Total commercial originations were $62.85 million which includes $19.51 million of SBA PPP loans. Home equity loan originations totaled $9.78 million. Consumer loan originations totaled $3.91 million. Loans held-for-sale increased by $2.21 million to $56.83 million at June 30, 2021 from $54.62 million at December 31, 2020.

Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of June 30, 2021 there was $6,000 of real estate owned and other repossessed property. As of December 31, 2020, there was $25,000 of real estate owned and other repossessed property.

The State of Montana placed a freeze on foreclosures on March 28, 2020. Subsequently it released the freeze effective May 24, 2020 with the exception of continued protection for those individuals deemed vulnerable to the coronavirus. The Federal foreclosure moratorium that began March 18, 2020 was extended to June 30, 2021. However, the Bank has had minimal impact due to foreclosures affected by these freezes.

| Senior notes fixed at 5.75%, due 2022 | 9,974 | 25.49 | 9,952 | 21.23 |
| Subordinated debentures fixed at 5.50% to floating, due 2030 | 14,701 | 37.57 | 14,684 | 31.34 |

| Total borrowings | $39,130 | 100.00% | $46,861 | 100.00% |

Total borrowings decreased by $7.73 million, or 16.5% to $39.13 million at June 30, 2021 from $46.86 million at December 31, 2020. This decrease is largely due to a decrease in FHLB advances and other borrowings of $7.77 million due to maturities.

### Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity decreased slightly by $194,000, or 0.1%, to $152.74 million at June 30, 2021 from $152.94 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to treasury stock purchased through tender offer for $6.28 million, dividends paid of $1.32 million and other comprehensive loss of $913,000. These decreases were largely offset by net income of $7.95 million.

### Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The following table includes average balances for financial condition items, as well as, interest and dividends and average yields related to the average balances. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields include the effect of deferred fees and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

### Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

*Net Income.* Eagle’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.68 million compared to $5.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $3.06 million was largely due to an increase in noninterest expense of $3.91 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $2.39 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $2.10 million and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $1.14 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.40 and $0.39 for the current period, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.84 for the prior year comparable period.

*Net Interest Income.* Net interest income increased to $11.33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $10.42 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase of $902,000, or 8.7%, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $910,000.

*Interest and Dividend Income.* Interest and dividend income was consistent period over period. Interest and fees on loans decreased slightly to $11.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $11.06 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease of $48,000, or 0.4%, was due to decrease in the average yield of loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 largely offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 20 basis points, from 5.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 4.91% for the current period. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $125,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 which resulted in a 4 basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $356,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 which resulted in a 13 basis point increase in net interest margin. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $899.64 million, compared to $867.37 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $32.27 million, or 3.7% and was impacted by PPP loans and organic growth. Interest on investment securities available-for-sale increased by $66,000, or 6.9% period over period. Average balances for investments increased to $203.87 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $170.15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Investments have increased in the current period due to excess liquidity. However, average interest rates earned on investments decreased to 2.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 2.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

*Interest Expense.* Total interest expense was $800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $910,000 or 53.2% was due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $579,000, as well as a net decrease in interest expense on total borrowings of $331,000. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, the average balance for total deposits was $1.12 billion for three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $931.66 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was impacted by PPP funding and economic stimulus. The average balance for total borrowings decreased from $126.40 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $39.71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to increased liquidity levels. However, the average rate paid on total borrowings increased from 2.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to 4.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the average rate paid is due to the change in the mix of the outstanding borrowings.

*Loan Loss Provision*. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending we conduct and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Using this methodology, the Bank recorded $22,000 in loan loss provisions for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Management made the decision that due to the strength of the local economy, in conjunction with loan activity, no additional loan loss provision was necessary in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when considering the COVID-19 pandemic. Loan loss provisions were $1.23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which included $777,000 related to the potential impact of Covid-19. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. However, if the economic forecast worsens relative to the assumptions we utilized, our allowance for credit losses will increase accordingly in future periods.

*Noninterest Income.* Total noninterest income was $11.31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $13.70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $2.39 million was impacted by a decrease in mortgage banking, net of $1.35 million. In addition, the prior period included a gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.07 million and there was no sale activity in the current period. Mortgage banking, net includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans which increased $2.56 million compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, $292.09 million residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $222.23 million in the same period in the prior year. Mortgage banking, net also includes the impact of changes fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives. The net change in fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives was a loss of $513,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a gain of $3.70 million for the same period in the prior year.

*Noninterest Expense.* Noninterest expense was $19.04 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $3.91 million or 25.8% is largely due to increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $3.48 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to mortgage loan growth, as well as overall increased staff levels. Mortgage compensation and benefits increased $2.86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.

*Provision for Income Taxes.* Provision for income taxes was $893,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to decreased income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 25.0% compared to 26.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

### Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

*Net Income.* Eagle’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $7.95 million compared to $9.66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $1.71 million was impacted by an increase in noninterest expense of $8.27 million. This increase was largely offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $3.14 million, an increase in noninterest income of $2.70 million and decrease in provision for income taxes of $714,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $1.17 for the current period. Basic earnings per share was $1.42 and diluted earnings per share was $1.41 for the prior period.

*Net Interest Income.* Net interest income increased to $22.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $20.90 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $1.56 million, or 7.5%, was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $2.20 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of $638,000.

*Interest and Dividend Income.* Interest and dividend income was $24.13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $24.76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $638,000, or 2.5%. Interest and fees on loansdecreased to $22.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $22.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This slight decrease of $451,000, or 2.0%, was due to a decrease in the average yield of loans, largely offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 31 basis points, from 5.28% to 4.97%. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $314,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 which resulted in a 5 basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $914,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 which resulted in a 17 basis point increase in net interest margin. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $894.84 million, compared to $853.90 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $40.94 million, or 4.8% and was impacted by organic growth and PPP funding. Interest on investment securities available-for-saledecreased by $84,000, or 4.2% period over period. Average interest rates earned on investments decreased to 2.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 2.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. However, average balances for investments increased to $183.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $170.71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Investments have increased in the current period due to excess liquidity.

*Interest Expense.* Total interest expense was $1.66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.86 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $2.20 million or 57.0% was due to a decrease of $1.51 million in interest expense on deposits and a net decrease of $686,000 in interest expense on total borrowings. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. However, the average balance for total deposits was $1.09 billion for six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $911.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was impacted by PPP funding and economic stimulus. The average balance for total borrowings decreased from $119.58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $42.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, the average rate paid on total borrowings increased from 2.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to 4.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the average rate paid is due to the change in the mix of the outstanding borrowings.

*Loan Loss Provision*. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending we conduct and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Using this methodology, the Bank recorded $321,000 in loan loss provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Management made the decision that due to the strength of the local economy, in conjunction with loan activity, no additional loan loss provision was necessary in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when considering the COVID-19 pandemic. Loan loss provisions were $1.90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which included $997,000 related to the potential impact of Covid-19. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. However, if the economic forecast worsens relative to the assumptions we utilized in June our allowance for credit losses will increase accordingly in future periods. Total nonperforming loans, including restructured loans, net, was $8.78 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $8.47 million at December 31, 2020. The Bank had $6,000 in other real estate owned and other repossessed assets at June 30, 2021 compared to $25,000 at December 31, 2020.

*Noninterest Income.* Total noninterest income was $24.70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $22.00 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $2.70 million is largely due to an increase in mortgage banking, net of $3.41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Mortgage banking, net includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans which increased $11.43 million compared to the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $552.58 million residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $354.35 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition, gross margin on sale of mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 4.48% compared to 3.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Mortgage banking, net also includes the impact of changes fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives. The net change in fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives was a loss of $2.97 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a gain of $5.08 million for the same period in the prior year. The prior period also included a gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.07 million and there was no sale activity in the current period.

*Noninterest Expense.* Noninterest expense was $36.25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $27.98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $8.27 million or 29.6% was largely driven by increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $7.88 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to mortgage loan growth, as well as overall increased staff levels. Mortgage compensation and benefits increased $6.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.

*Provision for Income Taxes.* Provision for income taxes was $2.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to decreased income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 25.0% compared to 25.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

### Liquidity

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Montana Division of Banking and FRB regulations. The liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of Des Moines. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals. In addition, the Bank uses liquidity resources for investment purposes, to meet operating expenses and capital expenditures, and maintain adequate liquidity levels.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on Eagle’s commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of Eagle’s ability to generate funds.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2021, liquidity levels remained strong, as a result of PPP loan payoffs and deposit growth. A portion of the excess funds was deployed into investment securities.

### Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, increased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 25.0% compared to an increase of 15.0% at December 31, 2020. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity in rising interest rate scenarios.

The Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank is deemed "well capitalized" pursuant to State of Montana and FRB rules as of June 30, 2021. The Bank's Tier I leverage ratio decreased slightly from 11.72% as of December 31, 2020 to 11.40% as of June 30, 2021, compared to a regulatory requirement of 4.00%. The Bank’s total capital, Tier 1 capital and common equity Tier 1 capital leverage ratios were 16.18%, 14.97% and 14.97%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 10.50%, 8.50% and 7.00%, respectively. All of these ratios with the exception of the Tier 1 leverage ratio include the capital conservation buffer of 2.50%. The Bank’s capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

### Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are found in Part I, Item 1, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

### Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from several factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company primary source of net income. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.

The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability committee, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Bank’s asset/liability committee. In this capacity, the asset/liability committee develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. The Company’s goal of its asset and liability management practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

The Bank has established acceptable levels of interest rate risk as follows for an instantaneous and permanent shock in rates: Projected net interest income over the next twelve months (i.e. year-1) and the subsequent twelve months (i.e. year-2) will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given an immediate increase in interest rates of up to 200 basis points or by more than 10.0% given an immediate decrease in interest rates of up to 100 basis points.

The following table includes the Bank’s net interest income sensitivity analysis.

| Changes in Market Interest Rates (Basis Points) | Rate Sensitivity As of June 30, 2021 Year 1 | Year 2 | Policy Limits |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| +200 | 8.00% | 12.30% | -15.00% |
| -100 | -3.10% | -7.50% | -10.00% |
