Introduction

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, is incorporated under the laws of Delaware and headquartered in Helena, Montana. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the "Bank"), is a Montana-state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System.

This discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is necessary to understand Eagle's financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025. The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in Eagle's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 9, 2026, and in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this report. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the future results that may be attained for the entire year or other interim periods.

Executive Summary

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of the Bank. The Bank focuses on consumer, commercial, and agricultural lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. Our earnings depend primarily on our level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits, borrowed funds, and trust-preferred securities. Net interest income is a function of our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets compared to interest-bearing liabilities. Also contributing to our earnings is noninterest income, which consists primarily of service charges and fees on loan and deposit products and services, net gains and losses on sale of assets, and mortgage loan service fees. Net interest income and noninterest income are offset by provisions for credit losses, general administrative and other expenses, including salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs, as well as by state and federal income tax expense.

The Bank has focused on diversifying the loan portfolio over the past decade, adding commercial and agricultural loans to the strong mortgage lending proficiency. Loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages enabled the Bank 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 grown the commercial loan portfolio in both real estate and non-real estate, and further added agricultural loans, which have a shorter term and slightly higher interest rate, through acquisitions. The purpose of diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s exposure to specific market segments, as well as to improve our ability to manage our interest rate spread. 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, and has recently been, 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 this strategy is funding growth in an efficient manner. It may become more difficult to maintain deposit growth due to significant competition, the current conditions in the banking industry 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 decreased the federal funds target rate to 3.75% during the year ended December 31, 2025. The rate remained at 3.75% during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The increases were largely offset by a decrease of $12.45 million in total commercial loans and a decrease of $1.27 million in consumer loans.

Total loan originations were $170.95 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Total residential 1-4 family originations were $91.77 million, which includes $69.26 million of loans held-for-sale originations. Total commercial originations were $45.38 million.

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 relevant state and federal banking laws, including 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 credit losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 there was $70,000 and $98,000, respectively, of real estate owned and other repossessed property.

Commercial real estate loans made up $667.69 million or 43.9% of the Bank's total loan portfolio at March 31, 2026, compared to $635.97 million or 41.9% at December 31, 2025. The Bank's commercial real estate loans are primarily permanent loans secured by improved property such as office buildings, retail stores, commercial warehouses, and apartment buildings. The terms and conditions of each loan are tailored to the needs of the borrower and based on the financial strength of the project and any guarantors. Generally, commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank will not exceed 80.0% of the appraised value or the selling price of the property, whichever is less. The Bank's commercial real estate portfolio's average loan-to-value ratio range was 32% to 48% by property type as of March 31, 2026.

The Bank's asset quality with respect to commercial real estate loans has remained strong despite recent economic and market conditions. The Bank has limited exposure in the office space sector, none of which is located in central business districts. Management believes that the Bank has implemented appropriate risk management practices, including regular and ongoing loan reviews, stress tests, and sensitivity analysis. Loan reviews include monitoring past due rates, non-performing trends, concentrations, loan to value ratios, and other qualitative factors. The Bank's loan policy is robust and is updated annually or as needed to meet the risk mitigation and strategic goals of the Bank.

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 and reported in loans receivable 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.

(3) Net interest margin represents income before the provision for credit losses divided by average interest-earning assets.

(4) For purposes of this table, tax exempt income is not calculated on a tax equivalent basis.

Net Interest Margin ("NIM"). Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 4.11%, an increase of 37 basis points compared to March 31, 2025. The increase in NIM reflects lower funding costs and improved balance sheet leverage through a favorable funding mix and reduced borrowings, with stable yields on interest‑earning assets.

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $3.98 million, compared to $3.24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $745,000 was due to an increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses of $1.56 million and an increase in noninterest income of $865,000. These were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.21 million and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $479,000. For the current period, basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share were both $0.51. Basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share were both $0.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $18.70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $16.90 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $1.80 million, or 10.7%, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $1.65 million.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was $26.22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $26.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $153,000, or 0.6%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $23.57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $23.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $250,000, or 1.1%, was due in part to an increase in the average yield on loans, with average loan balances remaining relatively stable, period over period. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable increased by eight basis points, from 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 6.27% for the current period. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $185,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which resulted in a four-basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which also resulted in a four-basis point increase in net interest margin. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, remained relatively stable at $1.53 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Interest on investment securities available-for-sale decreased by $236,000, or 9.6%, period over period, primarily due to the decrease in average balances for investments from $293.27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $280.55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. In addition, average interest rates earned on investments decreased from 3.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 3.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $7.52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreasing from $9.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $1.65 million, or 18.0%, was primarily due to a decrease of $1.44 million in interest expense on total borrowings. The decrease in interest expense on total borrowings was driven by the average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings decreasing from $138.83 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $30.58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased from 4.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 5.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to the payoff of lower-cost borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased minimally by $210,000, period over period. The overall average rate on total deposits was down from 1.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 1.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. However, the average balance for total deposits increased from $1.67 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $1.78 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Provision for Credit Losses. Provision for credit losses was $279,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included an increase in the provision for credit losses on loans to $109,000, and unchanged provision for unfunded commitments of $170,000.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income was $4.88 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $865,000, or 21.5%. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $490,000 in other noninterest income due to insurance proceeds of $484,000 received for the three months ended March 31,2026 due to smoke damage caused by a furnace fire and other damage from a windstorm. In addition, mortgage banking, net increased $309,000 to $2.43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $2.13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Mortgage banking, net, includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans, which increased to $1.68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $66.08 million residential mortgage loans were sold, compared to $42.80 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, gross margin levels decreased from 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 2.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $18.21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $17.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.21 million, or 7.1%. The driver of the increase was salaries and employee benefits, which increased $1.15 million.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $1.11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $631,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate was 21.8% for the current period compared to 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate increased as the Company’s pretax earnings have increased at a faster pace than tax-exempt income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Bank is required by regulation to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity for safety and soundness purposes. 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 30 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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 Company 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, for investment purposes, to meet operating expenses and capital expenditures, for dividend payments, for stock repurchases and to 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 the Bank's commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank's ability to generate funds.

The Company's available borrowing capacity was approximately $593.00 million as of March 31, 2026 and $601.00 million as of December 31, 2025.

Total $26,667 $593,129 $38,022 $600,954

Brokered deposits are another source of funding the Bank may utilize from time to time. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had no brokered certificates and $2.02 million in brokered money market deposits. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank had no brokered certificates and $3.21 million in brokered money market deposits. Policy limits for brokered deposits are set at 10% of assets.

In addition to bank level liquidity management, Eagle must manage liquidity at the parent company level for various operating needs, including the servicing of debt, the payment of dividends on our common stock, share repurchases, payment of general corporate expenses, and potential capital infusions into subsidiaries. The primary source of liquidity for Eagle consists of dividends from the Bank, which is governed by certain rules and regulations of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve, and access to capital markets.

Eagle has a $15.00 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The outstanding balance for this line of credit was $15.00 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The line of credit was used to finance the redemption payment for subordinated notes of $15.00 million. The line of credit has a two-year maturity and a variable interest rate equal to 0.50% below prime. The rate was 6.25% as of March 31, 2026. The draw is secured by the assets of the Company and includes certain financial covenants and negative covenants. The Company is in compliance with the covenants under the line of credit. Outstanding draws on the line impact remaining borrowing capacity for the Company’s correspondent bank lines of credit included above.

Eagle presently believes that the sources of liquidity discussed above, including existing liquid funds on hand, are sufficient to meet its anticipated funding needs in the short and long term. However, if economic conditions were to significantly deteriorate, regulatory capital requirements for Eagle or the Bank were to increase as the result of regulatory directives or otherwise, or Eagle were to believe it is prudent to enhance current liquidity levels, then Eagle may seek additional liquidity from external sources.

Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, 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 3.2% compared to an increase of 3.4% at December 31, 2025. A 200-basis point decrease in interest rates scenario decreased EVE by 9.1% compared to a decrease of 9.3% at December 31, 2025. 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 March 31, 2026.

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's primary source of revenue. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest rate 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.

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) will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of up to 300 basis points, and the subsequent twelve months (i.e. year-2) will not be reduced by more than 20.0% given an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of up to 300 basis points.

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

Changes in Market Interest Rates (Basis Points) As of March 31, 2026 Rate Sensitivity Year 1 Year 2 Board Policy Limits Year 1 Board Policy Limits Year 2

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accounting and financial reporting policies of Eagle are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Eagle has identified certain of its accounting policies as “critical accounting policies,” consisting of those related to the allowance for credit losses and business combinations. In determining which accounting policies are critical in nature, Eagle has identified the policies that require significant judgment or involve complex estimates. It is management's practice to discuss critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors' Audit Committee on a periodic basis, including the development, selection, implementation, and disclosure of the critical accounting policies. The application of these policies has a significant impact on Eagle’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Eagle’s financial results could differ significantly if different judgments or estimates are used in the application of these policies. All accounting policies described in "Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Eagle’s 2025 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how we record and report our financial performance. There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, or the judgments affecting the application of these estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in Eagle’s 2025 Form 10-K.
