Comments from Ed Nigro, Executive Chairman and CEO
“First, I want to welcome GBank President/CEO and Director, Jeff Newgard. Since June 8th, we have hit the ground running and he has my utmost respect and admiration – he is a valued addition and I’m confident we are going to achieve great things together.”
“Also, despite several near-term challenges during the quarter, the core bank remains fundamentally strong with substantive growth. We generated record revenues, maintained strong loan production, and continue to originate high-quality assets at attractive yields. While elevated nonperforming assets, retail credit card delinquencies, and net interest margin pressure impacted quarterly results, we have taken decisive actions to strengthen credit administration, optimize our balance sheet, and position the Bank for improved financial performance going forward,” continued Mr. Nigro.
“Most importantly, the recently announced BVNKROLL/AXES agreement is a significant accomplishment and requires additional comment. First, within 90 days of announcing the formation of the BVNKROLL – a joint venture equally owned by BoltBetz and our affiliate BCS, owned 32.99% by GBFH, we have our first signed client contract. Second, AXES is a cloud-based all-digital casino management platform. By incorporating our complete payment solution into the AXES intelligent management system (IMS), AXES will be giving their operating customers something no legacy CMS has ever offered: a single, real-time payments process that spans the gaming floor, the digital wallet, and the financial transaction, all in one platform.This agreement validates the BVNKROLL business strategy and is the first step towards imbedding GBank into the cashless payments operations of the bricks and mortar casino industry. AXES currently serves sixty-seven gaming operators and distributors across twelve states, has a global footprint spanning over thirty countries and millions of customers. GBank, BCS and BVNKROLL could not be more enthusiastic about this agreement,” concluded Mr. Nigro.
Financial Results
Income Statement
Net interest income totaled $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, reflecting an increase of $610 thousand, or 5.0%, compared to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $413 thousand, or 3.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2025.
The increase in net interest income when compared to both the first quarter of 2026 and the same quarter of 2025 was primarily volume driven, as higher interest income from growth in average loan, interest-bearing cash balances, and investments more than offset increases in interest expense resulting from higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits.
The yield on investment securities was 4.64% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 4.39% for the first quarter of 2026 and 4.73% for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in investment yield when compared to the prior quarter was the result of the full-quarter impact of $51.6 million of available for sale mortgage-backed securities purchased during the first quarter of 2026, as well as $7.9 million of available for sale mortgage-backed securities purchased during the second quarter of 2026. The change when compared to the previous year was the result of changing investment mix over the previous twelve month period designed to address asset-liability management objectives.
The Company’s net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 3.78%, compared to 3.86% for the first quarter of 2026 and 4.31% for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in net interest margin during the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the previous quarter was the result of both (i) a decline in the yield on loans to 7.31% from 7.38%, and (ii) the first quarter of 2026 reflecting a one-time special dividend on restricted stock held at the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") of $158 thousand while simultaneously lowering future dividend rates from 8.75% to 4.75%. The year-over-year decline in quarterly net interest margin reflects the impact of a cumulative 75 basis point reduction in the target federal funds rate on the Company’s variable-rate loan portfolio over the preceding twelve months.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.3 million of provision expense recorded during the first quarter of 2026, and $1.1 million of provision expense recorded during the second quarter of 2025. Please refer to information under the heading "Asset Quality" for more information regarding the provision for credit losses.
Non-interest income was $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, and $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $1.6 million when compared to the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to increases in net gains on sale of loans of $1.7 million. The $3.8 million increase in non-interest income during the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in net gains on sales of loans of $3.0 million as well as increases of $498 thousand in loan servicing income and $288 thousand in net interchange fees.
Net revenue(1) totaled $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 11.7%, compared to $19.6 million for the first quarter of 2026. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased $4.2 million, or 23.5%, when compared to $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Non-interest expense was $12.0 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in non-interest expense was principally due to $4.2 million of third-party credit card fraud expense recorded during the first quarter of 2026.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 54.7% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 80.8% for the first quarter of 2026 and 58.5% for the second quarter of 2025. The higher efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2026 was due primarily to the $4.2 million of third-party credit card fraud expense recorded as a component of non-interest expense.
Income tax expense was $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $139 thousand for the first quarter of 2026, and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 9.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 23.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily driven by the timing and magnitude of certain stock-based compensation transactions that generate tax benefits for the Company, as well as changes in pre-tax earnings.
Net income was $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.1 million from $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $707 thousand from $4.8 million during the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share were $0.38 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.09 for the first quarter of 2026 and $0.33 for the second quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet
Total assets were $1.4 billion as of both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, an increase of 16.2% from $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. The increase in total assets from June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by increases in loans and other assets. Total assets under management, including $1.2 billion of sold loans for which servicing is retained, totaled $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2026.
The investment securities portfolio increased by $3.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to the purchase of two available for sale investment securities totaling $8.0 million. This increase was partially offset by principal paydowns.
Total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, and $871.6 million as of June 30, 2025. Loans, net of deferred fees and costs increased $22.2 million during the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to an increase of $22.3 million in commercial real estate loans. The increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs, of $175.7 million from June 30, 2025, was driven by an increases of $159.3 million in commercial real estate loans and $21.7 million in commercial and industrial loans. Total government guaranteed loans as a percentage of total loans(1) were 16.7% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 17.3% as of March 31, 2026, and 22.1% as of June 30, 2025.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses totaled $12.4 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $10.8 million as of March 31, 2026, and $9.2 million as of June 30, 2025. Please refer to information under the heading "Asset Quality" for more information regarding the allowance for credit losses.
Deposits totaled $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, an increase of $173.3 million from $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2025. The increase of $34.8 million from the prior quarter was driven by increases in non-interest bearing demand and savings and money market balances of $18.4 million and $71.6 million, respectively, due primarily to the expansion of existing customer relationships. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $13.2 million in interest bearing demand and $42.1 million in certificates of deposits. The increase compared to June 30, 2025 was driven by growth across all categories of deposits.
The Company’s ratio of loans to deposits was 86.9% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 87.5% as of March 31, 2026, and 84.4% as of June 30, 2025.
The Company had no short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $457.5 million in available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and through its various fed funds lines of credit with its correspondent banks.
Subordinated notes outstanding totaled $30.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and $26.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase reflects the issuance of $11.0 million of subordinated debt issued in January 2026 maturing on January 15, 2036. This increase was partially offset by the redemption of $6.5 million of subordinated debt originally issued in 2020.
Stockholders’ equity was $172.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $167.6 million as of March 31, 2026, and $151.7 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity when compared to both the prior quarter and the prior year is attributable to increases in retained earnings resulting from net income earned during each respective period.
The Company’s ratio of common equity to total assets was 12.07% as of June 30, 2026 compared to 12.03% as of March 31, 2026 and 12.30% as of June 30, 2025. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 13.2% as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, and 13.8% as of June 30, 2025. The Company’s book value per share was $11.94 as of June 30, 2026, an increase of 3.1% from $11.58 as of March 31, 2026, and an increase of 12.3% from $10.63 as of June 30, 2025.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit loss expense for loans of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.3 million recorded during the first quarter of 2026 and $1.1 million of provision expense recorded during the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses for loans during the second quarter of 2026 reflects (i) $1.2 million of charge offs recorded during the second quarter of 2026 for certain commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial loans, (ii) an increase of $919 thousand related to specific reserves on individually evaluated commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial loans, and (iii) an increase in reserve for credit cards of $771 thousand due to elevated delinquency levels of the non-gaming credit card holders.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses totaled $12.4 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $10.8 million as of March 31, 2026, and $9.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.19% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 1.05% as of March 31, 2026 and 1.06% as of June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding government guaranteed portions(1), was 1.42% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 1.27% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.36% as of June 30, 2025. The increase in this ratio was largely driven by an increase in specific reserves assigned to collateral-dependent non-performing loans.
Net loan charge offs in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $1.2 million, or 0.42% of average net loans (annualized), compared to net loan charge offs of $1.5 million, or 0.57% of average net loans (annualized) in the first quarter of 2026 and $870 thousand of net loan charge offs, or 0.38% of average net loans (annualized) during the second quarter of 2025.
The balance of other real estate owned increased to $5.7 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $4.4 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company had no other real estate owned as of June 30, 2025. The increase in other real estate owned during the second quarter of 2026 was attributable to the completion of foreclosure proceedings on two commercial real estate - non-owner occupied properties totaling $2.0 million. This increase was partially offset by the sale of one commercial real estate - non-owner occupied property during the second quarter of 2026 totaling $765 thousand.
Non-performing assets totaled $60.2 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $16.0 million from $44.1 million as of March 31, 2026, and an increase of $41.8 million from $18.4 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by $14.7 million of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans transferred to nonaccrual status during the quarter. These loans are primarily collateralized by hotel/motel properties, business assets, and single-family residential properties. Contributing to the increase was the addition of $4.3 million of loans ninety days past due and accruing, comprised of certain commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans.
Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 4.20% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 3.17% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.49% as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2026, this ratio includes government guaranteed balances of $36.9 million in the balance of non-performing assets (numerator). Excluding the government guaranteed portion of non-performing assets(1), total at-risk non-performing assets were $23.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and the ratio of non-performing assets excluding the government guaranteed portion(1) reflects 1.63% of total assets.
The Company continuously monitors its non-performing asset portfolio and believes the financial risk related to these assets is well contained. In making this assessment, it is important to consider the process we undertake when a collateralized SBA non-performing asset requires collection efforts. Historically, we have repurchased the sold portion of the government guaranteed loan to complete the foreclosure and resale of the property. This process immediately increases the non-performing asset balance on our balance sheet to include the government guaranteed portion – thus the importance of always adjusting for the government guaranteed portion of the non-performing assets as well as considering our “off balance sheet” assets consisting of the sold portion of USDA and SBA guaranteed loans of $1.2 billion that increase our total assets under management to $2.6 billion. During the second quarter of 2026, we began transitioning to a process whereby the USDA or SBA will repurchase the sold portion of the non-performing loan.
Other Financial and Operational Highlights
SBA Lending and Commercial Banking
SBA lending and commercial loan originations totaled $132.3 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $208.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $160.7 million for the second quarter of 2025.
We continue to see improvement in our pretax gain on sale of loans margin as the average pretax gain on sale of loans margin was 5.04% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 4.79% for the first quarter of 2026, and 3.16% for the second quarter of 2025. This improvement in pricing quarter-over-quarter, along with the volume increase of $31.0 million in loan sales, resulted in a 46.3% increase in gain on sale of loans when compared to the first quarter of 2026.

Gaming and Financial Technology Operations
Our Gaming and Financial Technology businesses continue their transition from development to commercialization and scale. During the quarter, Bankroll LLC ("BVNKROLL"), our partner through our equity investment in BankCard Services, LLC ("BCS"), entered into an agreement with AXES AI that expands the availability of our slot and gaming payments platform to sixty-seven operators across twelve states. In addition, AXES' Intelligent Management System ("AXES IMS") platform may provide future growth opportunities for the expansion of our payments and account infrastructure.
Credit Card
Gaming-related credit card transaction volume declined to $84.2 million during the second quarter following the decision by certain major sports betting operators and their affiliates to discontinue credit cards as a funding source. While the number of active cardholders remained relatively stable, transaction activity among higher-limit sports and iGaming customers moderated during the quarter. Based on current activity levels, we anticipate quarterly transaction volume with these operators to stabilize in the range of approximately $45 million to $50 million. We believe the introduction of our Visa Prepaid Card program may provide an alternative funding source for our customers.
During the quarter, we recorded an additional provision for credit losses of approximately $771,000 related to retail credit card delinquencies. These accounts were primarily generated through a direct-mail marketing campaign that was discontinued last year. We do not currently market to retail credit card customers, and the size of this portfolio continues to decline. We expect the combination of a shrinking portfolio and enhanced collection procedures to contribute to improved credit performance over time.
Despite the recent decline in sports betting-related transaction volume, we continue to believe there is a significant opportunity for gaming-focused credit products within traditional casino and distributed gaming markets. We intend to integrate both our credit and prepaid card products as funding sources within BVNKROLL and BoltBetz-supported wallet platforms, which we believe may provide additional opportunities for transaction, deposit, and fee-based revenue.
Visa Prepaid Card
Our Visa Prepaid Card program is currently in testing, with commercial launch expected during the fourth quarter of 2026. The card will be integrated with GBank's PPA infrastructure, providing account functionality and connectivity within our gaming payments ecosystem.
The card will also be integrated into BVNKROLL-supported wallet platforms, enabling customers to move funds between participating gaming operators and affiliated payment channels. We believe this product will enhance our gaming payments offering and provide additional opportunities for transaction, deposit, and fee income growth.
BVNKROLL
During the first quarter, we announced the formation of the BVNKROLL/BCS joint venture. During the second quarter, BVNKROLL further expanded its potential market reach through its agreement with AXES AI.
The AXES relationship reflects the distinction between our BoltBetz and BVNKROLL platforms. BoltBetz operates as a direct-to-operator platform through which we manage operator relationships and the patron experience. BVNKROLL functions as an infrastructure platform that enables enterprise partners to utilize our technology and banking infrastructure while maintaining ownership of operator relationships, branding, marketing, and business development activities. As additional operators are added through the AXES platform, new patron PPA accounts may be established with GBank without requiring corresponding incremental direct marketing expenditures by the Company.
BoltBetz
During the second quarter of 2026, Terrible's Gaming received approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board to deploy the BoltBetz platform with GBank holding player funds. The approval was received approximately 60 days after application submission which is reflective of the prior approved BoltBetz/GBank process.
The BoltBetz deployment at Distill Taverns continues to provide meaningful data regarding patron adoption and usage patterns. Following the implementation of Version 2 platform enhancements, customer registrations increased approximately fourfold. Initial operating results indicate limited customer resistance to identity verification requirements necessary for regulatory compliance. Current efforts are focused on increasing customer registrations, visit frequency, and patron engagement as deployment continues to expand.
Earnings Call
The Company will host its second quarter 2026 earnings call on Wednesday, July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST. Interested parties can participate remotely via Internet connectivity. There will be no physical location for attendance.
