As filed, 119,610 characters.

### General

*The following discussion explains the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Annualized results for these interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year or future periods. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented elsewhere in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 6, 2025.*

### Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

- interest rate risk, including the effects of changes in interest rates;
- effects on the U.S. economy resulting from the threat or implementation of new, or changes to, existing policies, regulations, regulatory and governmental agencies and executive orders, including with respect to tariffs, immigration, DEI and ESG initiatives, consumer protection, foreign policy, and tax regulations;
- fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of changes in interest rates;
- business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including the level and impact of inflation, including future monetary policies of the Federal Reserve in response thereto, and possible recession;
- the effects of developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time that resulted in several bank failures;
- credit risk and risks from concentrations (by type of borrower, geographic area, collateral and industry) within the Company’s loan portfolio or large loans to certain borrowers (including CRE loans);
- the overall health of the local and national real estate market;
- our ability to successfully manage credit risk;
- our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for credit losses on loans;
- new or revised accounting standards as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, SEC or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
- the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, including those who have balances above current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits;
- our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase our dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact our cost of funds;
- our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan;
- our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively;
- the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
- talent and labor shortages and employee turnover;
- the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our or our third-party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools or as a result of insider fraud;
- interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers;
- competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions, “fintech” companies and digital asset service providers;
- the effectiveness of our risk management framework;
- rapid technological changes implemented by us and other parties in the financial services industry, including third-party vendors, which may be more difficult to implement or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequence to us and our customers, including the development and implementation of tools incorporating artificial intelligence;
- the commencement, cost and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us;
- the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, domestic or foreign;
- risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses;
- the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the global supply chain and the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers;
- severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events, including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
- potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with acquisitions;
- risks associated with our integration of FMCB, including the possibility that the merger may be more difficult or expensive to integrate than anticipated, and the effect of the merger on the Company’s customer and employee relationships and operating results;
- changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business, including changes in interpretation or prioritization of such rules and regulations;
- the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative publicity about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; and
- any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the SEC.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this report. In addition, past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future results. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

### Overview

The Company is a financial holding company headquartered in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The principal sources of funds for loans and investments are transaction, savings, time, and other deposits, and short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company’s principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, interest and dividends earned on investment securities and service charges. The Company’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowings, employee compensation and other overhead expenses. The Company’s simple, efficient business model of providing responsive support and unconventional experiences to clients continues to be the underlying principle that drives the Company’s profitable growth.

### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in “Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included as a part of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies or the assumptions and judgments utilized in applying these policies since December 31, 2024. Certain policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variation and may significantly affect the reported results and financial position for the current period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on the future financial condition and results of operations. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee.

### Recent Developments

On December 13, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Bridgewater Bank, completed its

acquisition of FMCB in an all-cash transaction. On the closing date, FMCB merged with and into Bridgewater Bank, with Bridgewater Bank as the surviving entity. The acquisition of FMCB aligns with and accelerates the Company’s strategic priorities, including its focus on continued growth within the Twin Cities market. The acquisition of FMCB added approximately $245.0 million of assets, $225.7 million of deposits, $117.1 million of loans and leases as of December 31, 2024, and two branch locations in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The acquisition also added an investment advisory business that offers nondeposit investment products through a third party arrangement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred merger-related expenses of $540,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the acquisition. The acquisition may impact comparability between periods.

On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which the Company sold and issued $80.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035. The Notes were issued by the Company to such purchasers at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The Company used the net proceeds it received from the sale of the Notes to redeem $50 million of outstanding 5.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 and for general corporate purposes.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on future periods.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.37, compared to $0.25 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2024.

### Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is impacted by the level of interest earning assets and related funding sources, as well as changes in interest rates. The difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid for interest bearing liabilities is the net interest spread. Noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest bearing sources of funds is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. Both the net interest margin and net interest spread are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which means that tax-free interest income has been adjusted to pretax-equivalent income, assuming a 21% federal tax rate. Management’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to managing net interest margin and the Company’s primary source of earnings.

### Average Balances and Yields

The following tables present, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, and an analysis of net interest income. The average balances are principally daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of net deferred loan origination fees and costs accounted for as yield adjustments. These tables are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, if applicable.

### Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on interest earning assets and the interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. The changes not attributable specifically to either volume or rate have been allocated to the changes due to volume. The following tables present the changes in the volume and rate of interest bearing assets and liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024:

### Comparison of Net Interest Margin, Interest Income, and Interest Expense

#### Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024

Net interest income was $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.5 million compared to $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth and higher yields in the loan portfolio.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2025 was 2.62%, a 38 basis point increase from 2.24% in the second quarter of 2024. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and purchase accounting accretion, was 2.49% for the second quarter of 2025, a 32 basis point increase from 2.17% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the margin was primarily due to higher core loan yields, the impact of purchase accounting accretion, and lower costs of deposits.

Average interest earning assets were $5.02 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $473.1 million, or 10.4%, compared to $4.55 billion for the second quarter of 2024. This increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to organic loan growth, higher average cash balances, and the FMCB acquisition. Average interest bearing liabilities were $3.85 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $402.7 million, or 11.7%, compared to $3.45 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to deposit growth and deposits acquired, offset partially by a decrease in brokered deposits.

Average interest earning assets produced a tax-equivalent yield of 5.56% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 5.41% for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio and purchase accounting accretion attributable to the acquisition of FMCB. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.83% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 4.19% for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits.

*Interest Income.* Total interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $69.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $61.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $8.3 million, or 13.6%, increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to growth of the loan portfolio and higher earning asset yields.

Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $93.9 million, or 14.0%, increase in average balances between the two periods primarily attributable to the acquisition of FMCB.

Interest income on loans, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $58.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $51.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $6.5 million increase was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

Loan interest income and loan fees remained one of the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield increased to 5.74% in the second quarter of 2025, which was 24 basis points higher than 5.50% in the second quarter of 2024. Core loan yield continued to rise as new loans originated at higher yields and the existing portfolio repriced in the higher interest rate environment.

The following table presents a summary of interest, fees and accretion recognized on loans for the periods indicated:

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ March 31, 2025 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ December 31, 2024 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ September 30, 2024 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ June 30, 2024 ​ | ​ ​ |

| Fees | ​ | 0.11 ​ | ​ | 0.07 ​ | ​ | 0.08 ​ | ​ | 0.10 ​ | ​ | 0.08 ​ | ​ |

| Yield on Loans | ​ | 5.74% | ​ | 5.61% | ​ | 5.55% | ​ | 5.57% | ​ | 5.50% | ​ |

*Interest Expense.* Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities was $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $864,000, from $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth of the deposit portfolio and increased utilization of FHLB advances, offset partially by a decrease in utilization of federal funds purchased.

Interest expense on deposits was $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $879,000, from $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to higher balances in savings and money market deposits and interest bearing transaction deposits. The cost of total deposits was 3.16% in the second quarter of 2025, a 30 basis point decrease, compared to 3.46% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits following interest rate cuts in 2024 and decreased average balance of brokered deposits.

Interest expense on borrowings was $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $16,000, compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased utilization of federal funds purchased, offset partially by increased utilization of FHLB advances.

Net interest income was $62.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $13.0 million, or 26.3%, compared to $49.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth and higher yields in the loan portfolio, offset partially by higher interest bearing liability balances.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 2.56%, a 32 basis point increase from 2.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and purchase accounting accretion, was 2.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 25 basis point increase from 2.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Average interest earning assets were $4.97 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $454.5 million, or 10.1%, compared to $4.52 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to organic growth in the loan portfolio, higher average cash balances, and the FMCB acquisition. Average interest bearing liabilities were $3.81 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $388.0 million, or 11.3%, compared to $3.42 billion for six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in savings and money market deposits and interest bearing transaction deposits, offset partially by a decrease in brokered deposits.

Average interest earning assets produced a tax-equivalent yield of 5.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 5.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Interest Income.* Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $135.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $120.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $15.3 million increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to growth in the loan and investment securities portfolios and higher earning asset yields.

Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a $113.8 million, or 16.9%, increase in average balances between the two periods primarily attributable to the FMCB acquisition.

Interest income on loans, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $112.1 million, compared to $101.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $10.7 million increase was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

*Interest Expense.* Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities was $72.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.3 million, compared to $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth of the deposit portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits increased to $64.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $2.8 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to higher balances in savings and money market deposits and interest bearing transaction deposits, offset partially by lower rates paid on deposits.

Interest expense on borrowings was $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to lower average balances of federal funds purchased, offset partially by higher average balances of FHLB advances.

### Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $600,000 for the second quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The provision for credit losses on loans and leases recorded in the second quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to increased growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in specific reserves for loans individually evaluated. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans was 1.35% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.37% at June 30, 2024.

The following table presents a summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases for the periods indicated:

The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $-0- for each of the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. No provision was recorded during the second quarter of 2025 due to unfunded commitments remaining stable as the migration to funded loans was offset by the volume of newly originated loans with unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a negative provision of $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $3.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

### Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.9 million from $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher swap fees, FHLB prepayment income, investment advisory fees, and gains on sales of securities. Noninterest income was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher swap fees, FHLB prepayment income, and investment advisory fees.

The following table presents the major components of noninterest income for the periods indicated:

### Noninterest Expense

#### Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024

Noninterest expense was $18.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.4 million from $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, increased operating costs related to the acquisition, and merger-related expenses, offset partially by a decrease in derivative collateral fees.

#### Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Noninterest expense was $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $6.3 million, from $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, increased operating costs related to the acquisition of FMCB, and merger related expenses.

The Company had 308 full-time equivalent employees at the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared to 258 at the end of the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely driven by the addition of employees from the acquisition of FMCB.

*Efficiency Ratio.* The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, reports total noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income plus total noninterest income, less gains (losses) on sales of securities. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides a meaningful comparison of operational performance and facilitates investors’ assessments of business performance and trends in comparison to peers in the banking industry.

The efficiency ratio was 52.6% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 58.7% for the second quarter of 2024. The efficiency ratio was 53.9% and 58.5%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The Company’s efficiency has remained consistently below the industry median due in part to its “branch-light” model.

The following table presents the major components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

### Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses for income tax purposes and the recognition of tax credits. The Company’s future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax-free investments and loans, the recognition and availability of tax credit investments, and overall taxable income.

Income tax expense was $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 23.9%, compared to 23.6% for the second quarter of 2024. Income tax expense was $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 23.9% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate remained stable across both periods.

### Financial Condition

### Assets

Total assets at June 30, 2025 were $5.30 billion, an increase of $230.4 million, or 4.5%, over total assets of $5.07 billion at December 31, 2024, and an increase of $609.6 million, or 13.0%, over total assets of $4.69 billion at June 30, 2024. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to organic growth in the loan portfolio. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio driven by organic growth and the acquisition of FMCB in the fourth quarter of 2024.

### Investment Securities Portfolio

The investment securities portfolio is used to make various term investments and is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity, a source of stable income, and at times, serve as collateral for certain types of deposits or borrowings. Investment balances in the investment securities portfolio are subject to change over time based on funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. The liquidity levels take into account anticipated future cash flows and are maintained at levels management believes are appropriate to ensure future flexibility in meeting anticipated funding needs.

The investment securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities, municipal securities, corporate securities comprised primarily of subordinated debentures of banks and financial holding companies, and asset-backed securities. In addition, the Company also holds other mortgage backed and other debt securities, all with varying contractual maturities. These maturities do not necessarily represent the expected life of the securities as the securities may be called or paid down without penalty prior to their stated maturities. All investment securities are held as available for sale.

Securities available for sale were $743.9 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $24.4 million, or 3.2%, compared to $768.2 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $58.5 million of securities acquired in the FMCB acquisition.

The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale, by type, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

### Loan Portfolio

The Company focuses on lending to borrowers located or investing in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area across a diverse range of industries and property types. The Company lends primarily to commercial customers, consisting of loans secured by nonfarm, nonresidential properties, multifamily residential properties, land, and non-real estate business assets. Responsive service, local decision making, and an efficient turnaround time from application to closing have been significant factors in growing the loan portfolio.

The Company manages concentrations of credit exposure through a risk management program which implements formalized processes and procedures specifically for managing and mitigating risk within the loan portfolio. The processes and procedures include board of directors and management oversight, commercial real estate exposure limits, portfolio monitoring tools, management information systems, market reports, underwriting standards, internal and external loan review, and stress testing.

Total gross loans at June 30, 2025 were $4.15 billion, an increase $277.3 million, or 7.2%, over total gross loans of $3.87 billion at December 31, 2024, and an increase of $345.4 million, or 9.1%, over total gross loans of $3.80 billion at June 30, 2024. The year-to-date increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to increased loan originations and lower loan payoffs. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased loan originations and the acquisition of FMCB during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The following table presents the dollar and percentage composition of the loan portfolio by category, at the dates indicated:

The Company primarily focuses on real estate mortgage lending, which constituted 81.1% of the portfolio at June 30, 2025. The composition of the portfolio has remained relatively consistent with prior periods, and the Company does not expect any significant changes in the composition of the loan portfolio or the emphasis on real estate lending in the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2025, investor CRE loans totaled $2.87 billion, consisting of $1.14 billion of loans secured by nonowner occupied CRE, $1.56 billion of loans secured by multifamily residential properties, $39.1 million of 1-4 family construction loans and $136.4 million of construction and land development loans. Investor CRE loans represented 69.2% of the total gross loan portfolio and 475.9% of the Bank’s total risk-based capital at June 30, 2025, compared to 68.4% and 462.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2024.

### Asset Quality

The Company emphasizes credit quality in the originating and monitoring of the loan portfolio, and success in underwriting is measured by the levels of classified and nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. Federal regulations and internal policies require the use of an asset classification system as a means of managing and reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with federal banking regulations, as a part of the credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “special mention,” “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset identified as “special mention” is not adversely classified but has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the payment prospects of the asset. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A financial institution with assets classified as “special mention” is not expected to sustain losses of principal or interest from these assets and should not classify assets under this category for more than a year. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the financial institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “watch.”

The following table presents information on loan classifications at June 30, 2025. The Company had no assets classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 2025.

*(dollars in thousands)*

| ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ Risk Category Watch/Special Mention | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Substandard | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Commercial** | ​ | $1,910 | ​ | $12,832 | ​ | $14,742 |

| **Construction and Land Development** |  | ​ — |  | ​ 46 |  | ​ 46 |
| **Real Estate Mortgage:** |  | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ |
| 1-4 Family Mortgage |  | ​ — |  | ​ 1,341 |  | ​ 1,341 |
| Multifamily |  | ​ 47,610 |  | ​ 11,659 |  | ​ 59,269 |
| CRE Owner Occupied |  | ​ 2,872 |  | ​ 2,700 |  | ​ 5,572 |

| **Total Real Estate Mortgage Loans** |  | ​ 51,372 |  | ​ 32,074 |  | ​ 83,446 |
| Totals | ​ | $53,282 | ​ | $44,986 | ​ | $98,268 |

Loans that have potential weaknesses that warranted a watch or special mention risk rating at June 30, 2025 totaled $53.3 million, compared to $46.6 million at December 31, 2024. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at June 30, 2025 totaled $45.0 million, compared to $21.8 million at December 31, 2024. Management continues to actively work with these borrowers and closely monitor substandard credits.

### Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans include loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans 90 days past due and still accruing. Nonaccrual loans totaled $10.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and $301,000 as of December 31, 2024. There were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, there were $185,000 of foreclosed assets. There were no foreclosed assets as of December 31, 2024.

The following table presents a summary of nonperforming assets, by category, at the dates indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

| ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ June 30, ​ 2025 | ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2024 ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Total Nonaccrual Loans | ​ | $10,134 ​ | $301 ​ |
| Total Nonperforming Loans | ​ | $10,134 ​ | $301 ​ |
| Plus: Foreclosed Assets | ​ | 185 ​ | — ​ |
| Total Nonperforming Assets (1) | ​ | $10,319 ​ | $301 ​ |
| Nonaccrual Loans to Total Loans | ​ | 0.24% | 0.01% |
| Nonperforming Loans to Total Loans | ​ | 0.24 ​ | 0.01 ​ |
| Nonperforming Assets to Total Loans Plus Foreclosed Assets (1) | ​ | 0.25 ​ | 0.01 ​ |

(1) Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans and loans greater than 90 days past due still accruing plus foreclosed assets. There were no loans greater than 90 days past due still accruing or modified accruing loans for any period shown.

The balance of nonperforming assets can fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions. The Company has established a policy to discontinue accruing interest on a loan (that is, to place the loan on nonaccrual status) after it has become 90 days delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, unless the loan is considered to be well-collateralized and is actively in the process of collection. In addition, a loan will be placed on nonaccrual status before it becomes 90 days delinquent unless management believes that the collection of interest is expected. Interest previously accrued but uncollected on such loans is reversed and charged against current income when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible. If management believes that a loan will not be collected in full, an increase to the allowance for credit losses on loans is recorded to reflect management’s estimate of any potential exposure or loss. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied directly to principal. Gross income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $169,000 and $342,000, respectively. Gross income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $23,000 and $36,000, respectively.

### Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is a reserve established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level management considers adequate to provide for expected lifetime losses in the portfolio. Although management strives to maintain an allowance it deems adequate, future economic changes, deterioration of borrowers’ creditworthiness, and the impact of examinations by regulatory agencies, among other factors, all could cause changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.

At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was $55.8 million, an increase of $3.5 million from $52.3 million at December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled $1,000 during the second quarter of 2025 and ($2,000) during the second quarter of 2024. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and ($5,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans was 1.35% at June 30, 2025 and 1.35% at December 31, 2024.

Total deposits at June 30, 2025 were $4.24 billion, an increase of $150.0 million, or 3.7%, compared to total deposits of $4.09 billion at December 31, 2024, and an increase of $429.0 million, or 11.3%, over total deposits of $3.81 billion at June 30, 2024. Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding brokered deposits and time deposits greater than $250,000, increased $79.9 million, or 5.1% annualized, from December 31, 2024. Growth in core deposits was primarily due to both increased balances of existing clients and new client acquisitions. Based on the nature of the Company’s client base, management believes core deposits could fluctuate in future periods as deposit growth is not always linear.

The Company relies on increasing the deposit base to fund loans and other asset growth. The Company is in a highly competitive market and competes for local deposits by offering attractive products with competitive rates. The Company expects to have a higher average cost of funds for local deposits compared to competitor banks due to the lack of an extensive branch network. The Company’s strategy is to offset the higher cost of funding with a lower level of operating expense. When appropriate, the Company utilizes alternative funding sources such as brokered deposits. The brokered deposit market provides flexibility in structure, optionality and efficiency not afforded in traditional retail deposit channels. As of June 30, 2025, total brokered deposits were $870.6 million, an increase of $44.8 million, compared to total brokered deposits of $825.8 million at December 31, 2024. Brokered deposits continue to be used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support loan portfolio growth.

The Company believes that it will be able to meet all contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. The Company expects to maintain adequate cash levels through earnings, loan and securities repayments and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. As described above, the Company has in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

### Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2025 was $476.3 million, an increase of $18.3 million, or 4.0%, compared to total shareholders’ equity of $457.9 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net income retained and a decrease in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio, offset partially by a decrease in unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, preferred stock dividends, and stock repurchases.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $14.21 as of June 30, 2025, an increase of 5.4% from $13.49 as of December 31, 2024. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 7.36% at December 31, 2024.

*Stock Repurchase Program*. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 122,704 shares of its common stock, representing 0.44% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Shares were repurchased during this period at a weighted average price of $12.80 per share, for a total of $1.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 167,709 shares of its common stock, representing 0.61% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Shares were repurchased during this period at a weighted average price of $13.07 per share, for a total of $2.2 million. All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program were converted to authorized but unissued shares. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining amount that could be used to repurchase shares under the 2022 Stock Repurchase Program was $13.1 million. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong capital levels while enhancing shareholder value as it strategically executes its stock repurchase program based on various factors including valuation, capital levels and other uses of capital.

*Regulatory Capital.* The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s business.

Management believes the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject as of June 30, 2025. The regulatory capital ratios necessary for the Company and the Bank to meet minimum capital adequacy standards, and for the Bank to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework, are set forth in the following tables. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated are presented in the following tables:

Regulations include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that is added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At June 30, 2025, the ratios for the Company and the Bank were sufficient to meet the conservation buffer.

### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of clients, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Most of these commitments mature within two years and the standby letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. All off-balance sheet commitments are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and the Bank are required to hold.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company decreases its exposure to losses under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. The Company assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establishes a liability for probable credit losses.

The following table presents credit arrangements and financial instruments whose contract amounts represented credit risk as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

| Totals | ​ | $159,728 | ​ | $633,425 | ​ | $183,285 | ​ | $620,176 |

The Company had outstanding letters of credit with the FHLB of $134.8 million and $103.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, on behalf of customers and to secure public deposits.

### Liquidity

Liquidity is the Company’s capacity to meet cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting either daily operations or financial condition. The Bank’s Asset Liability Management, or ALM, Committee, is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving the Company’s financial objectives. The ALM Committee meets regularly to review balance sheet composition, funding capacities, and current and forecasted loan demand.

The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate levels of cash and other assets from on- and off-balance sheet arrangements. Specifically, on-balance sheet liquidity consists of cash and due from banks and unpledged investment securities available for sale, which are referred to as primary liquidity. In regards to off-balance sheet capacity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and a correspondent lender, as well as unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of overnight funds with various correspondent banks, which the Company refers to as secondary liquidity.

Total on- and off-balance sheet liquidity was $2.38 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $2.30 billion at December 31, 2024.

The following tables present a summary of primary and secondary liquidity levels as of the dates indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

| ​ Primary Liquidity—On-Balance Sheet | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2025 ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2024 ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | ​ | $192,709 ​ | $188,884 ​ |

| Less: Pledged Securities | ​ | ​ (282,025) ​ | ​ (289,903) ​ |
| Total Primary Liquidity | ​ | $654,573 ​ | $667,228 ​ |
| Ratio of Primary Liquidity to Total Deposits | ​ | 15.4% | 16.3% |

| Net Secured Borrowing Capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank | ​ | 1,019,087 ​ | 925,798 ​ |
| Unsecured Borrowing Capacity with Correspondent Lenders | ​ | 200,000 ​ | 200,000 ​ |
| Secured Borrowing Capacity with Correspondent Lender | ​ | ​ 19,855 ​ | ​ 19,855 ​ |
| Total Secondary Liquidity | ​ | ​ 1,729,690 ​ | ​ 1,628,898 ​ |
| Total Primary and Secondary Liquidity | ​ | $2,384,263 ​ | $2,296,126 ​ |
| Ratio of Primary and Secondary Liquidity to Total Deposits | ​ | 56.3% | 56.2% |

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, primary liquidity decreased by $12.7 million due to a $24.4 million decrease in securities available for sale, offset partially by a $7.9 million decrease in pledged securities and a $3.8 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, when compared to December 31, 2024. Secondary liquidity increased by $100.8 million as of June 30, 2025, when compared to December 31, 2024, due to a $93.3 million increase in the borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank and a $7.5 million increase in the borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

In addition to primary liquidity, the Company generates liquidity from cash flows from the loan and securities portfolios and from the large base of core deposits, defined as noninterest bearing transaction, interest bearing transaction, savings, non-brokered money market accounts and non-brokered time deposits less than $250,000. At June 30, 2025, core deposits totaled approximately $3.19 billion and represented 75.2% of total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company, which promote long-standing relationships and stable funding sources.

The Company uses brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes. At June 30, 2025, brokered deposits totaled $870.6 million, consisting of $722.7 million of brokered time deposits and $147.9 million of non-maturity brokered money market and transaction accounts. At December 31, 2024, brokered deposits totaled $825.8 million, consisting of $698.3 million of brokered time deposits and $127.4 million of non-maturity brokered money market and transaction accounts.

The Company’s liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Total On-Balance Sheet Liquidity with Borrowing Capacity (a measurement of primary and secondary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (a measurement of total wholesale funding to total deposits plus borrowings), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this report to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the following tables:

## Market risk

### Interest Rate Risk

As a financial institution, the Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin because of changes in interest rates. The Company continually seeks to measure and manage the potential impact of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities mature or re-price at different times, on a different basis or in unequal amounts. Interest rate risk also arises when assets and liabilities each respond differently to changes in interest rates.

The Company’s management of interest rate risk is overseen by its ALM Committee, based on a risk management infrastructure approved by the board of directors that outlines reporting and measurement requirements. In particular, this infrastructure sets limits and management targets for various metrics, including net interest income simulation involving parallel shifts in interest rate curves, steepening and flattening yield curves, and various prepayment and deposit duration assumptions. The Company’s risk management infrastructure also requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates based on historical analysis and noninterest bearing and interest bearing transaction deposit durations based on historical analysis. The Company does not engage in speculative trading activities relating to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equities or credit.

The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest earning assets by managing the interest rates and terms associated with the investment securities portfolio by purchasing and selling investment securities from time to time. The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest bearing liabilities by managing the interest rates and terms associated with wholesale borrowings and deposits from customers which the Company relies on for funding. For example, the Company occasionally uses special offers on deposits to alter the interest rates and terms associated with interest bearing liabilities.

The Company has entered into certain hedging transactions including fair value swaps and interest rate swaps and caps, which are designed to lessen elements of the Company’s interest rate exposure. Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage interest rate exposure for the brokered deposit and wholesale borrowing portfolios. These cash flow hedges had a total notional amount of $308.0 million and $303.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Fair value hedge relationships mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or value. The Company utilizes fair value hedges to manage fair value exposure for the U.S. treasury security and mortgage backed security portfolios. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these fair value hedges had a total notional amount of $195.0 million and $145.9 million, respectively. In the event that interest rates do not change in the manner anticipated, such transactions may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

### Net Interest Income Simulation

The Company uses a net interest income simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in net interest income that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of the measurement date. This model has inherent limitations and the results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions as of a certain point in time. For purposes of the simulation, the Company assumes no growth in either interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months; therefore, the model’s results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet. The simulation model also incorporates various other assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results, such as: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (6) the effect of interest rate limitations in assets, such as floors and caps, and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of the limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on the results, but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and to manage interest rate risk.

Potential changes to the Company’s net interest income in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented in the table below. The projections assume an immediate, parallel shift downward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points.

The table above indicates that as of June 30, 2025, in the event of an immediate and sustained 400 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company would experience a 5.10% decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 400 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience an 17.01% increase in net interest income.

The results of this simulation analysis are hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads would also cause net interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or re-price faster than the Company’s assets. Actual results could differ from those projected if the Company grows assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if the Company experienced a net outflow of deposit liabilities, or if the mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if the Company experienced substantially different repayment speeds in the loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that the Company may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to the Company’s loan, investment, deposit, or funding strategies.
