Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $5.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, an increase of $3.8 million, or 189.5%, from the prior quarter.

Pre-provision net revenue1 for the quarter was $10.4 million, an increase of $366 thousand, or 3.6%, from the prior quarter.

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter of 2026 were 0.90% and 11.42%, respectively.

Total assets at June 30, 2026 were $2.6 billion, compared to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2025.

Commercial loans, excluding leases, increased $4.6 million, or 0.3% from prior quarter.

On July 30, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share, payable August 17, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2026.

Christopher J. Annas, Chairman and CEO commented:

“The Meridian team delivered a strong second quarter performance, earning $5.8 million vs $2.0 million in the prior quarter. Net interest margin was steady at 3.69%, and the provision was markedly lower against an elevated provision in the prior quarter. Pre-provision net revenue of $10.4 million was up nearly 3.6% from prior quarter. Commercial loan growth for the quarter would have been $54 million, or 3.0%, if not for commercial loan and CRE loan payoffs of $38 million, as well as SBA loan sales in the current quarter of $11.9 million.
SBA loan sale income of $615 thousand is up from last quarter and should be more consistent as we adjust that business model. The mortgage group is still impacted by low inventory, but mortgage banking income was up 6% from Q2 2025. Mortgage third quarter originations look promising, but refi activity has fallen as rates have ticked up.

We had a large increase in the non-performing loans due to three real estate relationships, but our substantial collateral position in these three loans negated the need for any current provisioning. We are working tirelessly to resolve the non-performing loans, but also recognize that our historical loan growth rate and small/medium business focus can often lead to periods of elevated non-performing loans. Our task is to keep the charge-off percentage low, which we have. We also have two businesses, SBA and equipment finance, that have generally higher charge-offs than normal commercial/industrial lending, but we earn higher yields on those assets that offset the charge-offs.

We have hired an experienced payments team that has strong background in merchant acquiring, health savings accounts and the new capabilities of FedNow and RTP. With their industry contacts and qualifications, we are hoping to build a stronger deposit franchise and build fee income in that space. Payment methods are evolving rapidly and we are excited about the unique opportunities they could provide."

Income Statement - Second Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2026
Second quarter net income increased $3.8 million, or 189.5%, to $5.8 million due largely to an increase in non-interest income of $2.8 million, and a decrease of $4.5 million in the provision for credit losses, while non-interest expense increased $2.1 million over the prior quarter, and income tax expense increased $1.1 million over the prior quarter as well. Detailed explanations of the major categories of income and expense follow below.

(1) Reflected on a tax-equivalent basis.
Interest income increased $67 thousand quarter-over-quarter on a tax equivalent basis, driven mainly by an increase in loans held for sale and loans held for investment average balances. The yield on interest-earnings assets decreased 10 basis points and negatively impacted interest income by $256 thousand, while the average balance of interest earning assets increased by $12.7 million, having a positive impact to interest income of $323 thousand. The yield on loans dropped 14 basis points due to an interest reversal of $885 thousand related to new nonaccrual loans in the quarter.
Average total loans, excluding residential loans for sale, increased $4.9 million. The largest drivers were increases in commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and home equity loans, which on a combined basis increased $21.2 million on average. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of $7.1 million in SBA loan average balances, a $2.7 million decrease in the average balance of residential loans held for investment, along with a decrease in average leases of $4.6 million. Also contributing to the increase in interest income was a $16.9 million increase in the average balance of loans held for sale.
Interest expense increased $479 thousand, quarter-over-quarter, due largely to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on total deposits increased $526 thousand, as interest expense on borrowings decreased $60 thousand. During the period average balances of interest-bearing checking accounts increased $11.8 million, time deposits increased $18.2 million, while money market and savings deposit balances decreased $15.6 million on average and borrowings decreased $5.0 million on average. The cost of deposits increased 5 basis points as interest-bearing demand deposits and money market accounts had a cost increase, partially offset by the decrease in the cost of time deposits.
Overall the net interest margin decreased to 3.69%, compared to the prior quarter, drive by the decline in yield on interest-earning assets and an increase in cost of funds.

Provision for Credit Losses
In the second quarter the overall provision for credit losses fell by $4.5 million to $3.0 million, compared with $7.5 million in the first quarter. The primary reason for the lower level of provision expense was less loan charge-offs and lower loan growth quarter over quarter. Excluding the prior quarter’s $3.9 million charge-off and related provision on a single commercial mortgage, charge-offs in the second quarter declined by $1.3 million driving down the provision. SBA and lease net charge-offs were together down $2.3 million compared to prior quarter.

(1) Includes FV change on mortgages HFS and related hedging derivatives.
Total non-interest income increased $2.8 million, or 40.4%, quarter-over-quarter largely due to a $2.1 million increase in mortgage banking income, and a $465 thousand increase in SBA loan income. Despite a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 33 basis points in the margin on mortgage loan sales, total loans sold increased by $81.1 million, or 20% from the prior quarter, resulting in a higher level of mortgage banking income, and the fair value of loans held for sale improved quarter-over-quarter as the loans available for sale at June 30, 2026 were up $15.9 million over March 31, 2026.
SBA loan income increased $465 thousand due to the increase in SBA loans sold. $11.9 million of loans were sold during the quarter-ended June 30, 2026 compared to $6.7 million for the quarter-ended March 31, 2026. However, the gross margin on SBA loan sales was 7.9% for the quarter-ended June 30, 2026 compared to 8.5% for the quarter-ended March 31, 2026.

Salaries and benefits increased $807 thousand primarily due to the variable nature of the mortgage segment along with higher incentive compensation overall. Advertising and promotion costs increased $625 thousand, reflecting an increase in business development efforts and special events in the current quarter, which is generally seasonally higher. Other expense increased $425 thousand mainly due to an increase in OREO expenses and non-salary employee expenses in the current quarter. The increase in professional fees was due to expenses related to non-performing loans.

Balance Sheet - June 30, 2026 Compared to March 31, 2026
Total assets increased $16.6 million, or 0.6%, to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Total portfolio loans decreased $3.2 million, or 0.1% quarter-over-quarter. While there was growth of $41.2 million in commercial mortgage loans, $1.2 million in commercial & industrial loans, and $3.0 million in home equity lines and loans during the second quarter, these increases were offset by a $27.9 million decrease in construction and land development loans, a $9.9 million decrease in SBA loans, and a $5.7 million decrease in lease financings. Commercial loan growth was impacted by $9.9 million in commercial loan payoffs during the quarter.
Total deposits increased $24.5 million, or 1.1% quarter-over-quarter, led by an increase of $21.6 million in interest-bearing deposits. Money market accounts and savings accounts increased a combined $19.5 million, non-interest bearing accounts increased $2.9 million or 1.2%, while interest bearing demand deposits decreased $5.9 million, and borrowings decreased $12.8 million, or 10.6% quarter-over-quarter.

Exhibit 99.1
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $4.6 million from March 31, 2026, to $204.8 million as of June 30, 2026. Changes to equity for the quarter included net income of $5.8 million, and an increase of $146 thousand in other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid of $1.7 million. The Community Bank Leverage Ratio for the Bank was 9.72% at June 30, 2026.

Asset Quality Summary
Non-performing loans increased $23.4 million, to $82.1 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $58.7 million at March 31, 2026, with the largest increases coming from land development loans ($20.0 million) and commercial mortgage loans ($5.5 million) that were downgraded during the current quarter partially offset by payoffs of $3.3 million of several CRE, construction and consumer loans combined. The downgraded land development and commercial mortgage loan relationships were well collateralized and therefore did not require any specific reserve as of June 30, 2026. SBA loans make up $24.6 million of total non-performing loans, with $11.9 million, or 48.4%, guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA portfolio was subject to the Fed's rapid rate increase with 49.7%, of total non-performing SBA loans having been originated in 2020-2021 when rates were lower by over 500 basis points.
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans as of June 30, 2026 was 3.68%. Due to the increase in non-performing loans, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans, excluding the guaranteed portion of the SBA portfolio was 3.14%. As of June 30, 2026 there were specific reserves of $3.3 million against individually evaluated loans, an increase of $428 thousand from the level of specific reserves as of March 31, 2026.
Net charge-offs decreased to $2.6 million, or 0.12% of total average loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $7.8 million, or 0.35%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Second quarter charge-offs consisted of $414 thousand in SBA loans, $1.0 million in commercial loans, $1.2 million in finance receivables, and $455 thousand of small ticket equipment leases. Partially offsetting second quarter charge-offs were recoveries of $467 thousand between commercial loans, finance receivables, home equity loans, and leases.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment was 0.99% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 0.98% reported as of March 31, 2026.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, a property in OREO valued at $719 thousand sold for a recorded gain of $218 thousand.

APPENDIX: NON-GAAP MEASURES (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)
Meridian believes that non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts. The non-GAAP disclosure have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for performance and financial condition measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Meridian’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
