From David P. Boyle, Company Chair and Chief Executive Officer
"I'm pleased with our first quarter 2026 results which have put us on a good trajectory for the year. Our new loan originations were strong and we grew our loan portfolio while maintaining a solid core deposit base.

Results of Operations
First Quarter 2026 compared to Fourth Quarter 2025
The Company reported first quarter 2026 net income applicable to common shares of $27.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted common share, compared to fourth quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $30.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted common share.
-- Period-end total gross loans were $5.4 billion at March 31, 2026, an
increase of $17.0 million from December 31, 2025, as the Company
originated $132.0 million of new, relationship-based loan commitments.
-- Period-end total deposits were $6.3 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease
of $71.7 million from December 31, 2025. Excluding a $61.0 million
decrease in brokered deposits, core deposits decreased $10.7 million.
-- Net interest income for the quarter was $71.8 million compared to $74.9
million in the prior quarter due to a decrease in interest income of $5.7
million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2.6
million. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily driven by
lower deposit costs from a decrease in the balance of brokered time
deposits and lower rates on certain deposit products.
-- Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP1)
decreased to 4.09% versus 4.11% in the fourth quarter of 2025, mainly
attributable to a decrease in average volume and average rate on loans
and an increase in average volume on short-term borrowings compared to
the fourth quarter of 2025.
-- Accretion income on loans during the quarter was $6.8 million, and the
amortization expense impact on interest expense was $1.4 million, or 30.5
bps of net interest margin on an annualized basis in the first quarter of
2026. In the prior quarter, accretion income on loans during the quarter
was $8.7 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense
was $1.4 million, or 39.3 bps of net interest margin on an annualized
basis.
-- The cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was
1.71% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.80% in the fourth
quarter of 2025. The decrease in the cost of deposits was mostly due to a
decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits compared to the
fourth quarter of 2025.
-- The Company recorded credit provision expense in the first quarter of
2026 of $213.0 thousand on loans and a recapture of $201.0 thousand on
unfunded commitments and the Company's allowance for credit losses at
March 31, 2026, was $68.0 million, or 1.3% of total loans.
-- Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $12.9 million
compared to $11.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an
increase in gains on securities of $1.9 million and a $821.0 thousand
increase in other non-interest income, which was partially offset by a
decrease of $1.3 million in income from company-owned life insurance in
the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. In the
prior quarter, collection of death proceeds from company-owned life
insurance increased non-interest income by $1.7 million.
-- Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $51.4 million
compared to $48.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to
an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits of $1.6 million, an
increase in occupancy costs of $631.0 thousand and an increase in
equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance of $455.0 thousand.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items such as merger-related expenses. The operating net income is more reflective of management's ability to grow the business and manage expenses. Adjusted non-interest expense also removes these significant items, such as merger-related expenses. Management believes it represents a more normalized non-interest expense total for periods with identified significant items.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength because they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders' equity.

In management's view, adjusted return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average assets are performance metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in evaluating the Company's profitability and efficiency in deploying capital and assets and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non--GAAP measures provide additional insight into the Company's underlying operating performance by focusing on returns generated from common equity, tangible common equity, and total assets, as applicable.
The adjusted measures exclude the after--tax effect of one--time merger--related expenses, which management believes enhances period--to--period comparability and provides a more representative view of the Company's ongoing earnings performance. Return on average tangible common equity measures further isolate performance attributable to tangible capital by excluding the impact of intangible assets, while return on average assets reflects the Company's effectiveness in generating earnings from its overall asset base. Management believes these measures, when considered together and alongside GAAP results, provide useful supplemental information for assessing profitability, capital efficiency, and operating trends.

The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.

Our new loan originations were strong and we grew our loan portfolio while maintaining a solid core deposit base. Our balance sheet is well-positioned, asset quality metrics are in line with our moderate risk profile, and we delivered top quartile returns compared to our peers. We're looking forward to our upcoming merger with LINKBANK and the benefits it will provide for our combined customers, employees, communities, and shareholders."

million; adjusted (non-GAAP1) operating net income applicable to common
shares was $28.2 million.
-- Diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") was $1.79; adjusted (non-GAAP1)
diluted EPS of $1.87.
-- For the quarter, the annualized return on average assets ("ROA") was
1.39%, the annualized return on average equity ("ROE") was 12.62%, and
the annualized return on average tangible common equity ("ROATCE")
(non-GAAP1) was 13.87%.
-- On an adjusted basis (non-GAAP1), ROA was 1.45%, ROE was 13.30%, and
ROATCE was 14.44%.
-- Tangible common equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP1) was 9.93%.
-- Ending total gross loans were $5.4 billion and ending total deposits were
$6.3 billion; ending loan-to-deposit ratio was 85.4%. The net interest
margin (non-GAAP1) was 4.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
-- The balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity. Total liquidity,
including all available borrowing capacity with cash and cash equivalents,
totaled $4.8 billion at the end of the first quarter.

Results of Operations
First Quarter 2026 compared to Fourth Quarter 2025
The Company reported first quarter 2026 net income applicable to common shares of $27.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted common share, compared to fourth quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $30.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted common share.
-- Period-end total gross loans were $5.4 billion at March 31, 2026, an
increase of $17.0 million from December 31, 2025, as the Company
originated $132.0 million of new, relationship-based loan commitments.
-- Period-end total deposits were $6.3 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease
of $71.7 million from December 31, 2025. Excluding a $61.0 million
decrease in brokered deposits, core deposits decreased $10.7 million.
-- Net interest income for the quarter was $71.8 million compared to $74.9
million in the prior quarter due to a decrease in interest income of $5.7
million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2.6
million. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily driven by
lower deposit costs from a decrease in the balance of brokered time
deposits and lower rates on certain deposit products.
-- Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP1)
decreased to 4.09% versus 4.11% in the fourth quarter of 2025, mainly
attributable to a decrease in average volume and average rate on loans
and an increase in average volume on short-term borrowings compared to
the fourth quarter of 2025.
-- Accretion income on loans during the quarter was $6.8 million, and the
amortization expense impact on interest expense was $1.4 million, or 30.5
bps of net interest margin on an annualized basis in the first quarter of
2026. In the prior quarter, accretion income on loans during the quarter
was $8.7 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense
was $1.4 million, or 39.3 bps of net interest margin on an annualized
basis.
-- The cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was
1.71% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.80% in the fourth
quarter of 2025. The decrease in the cost of deposits was mostly due to a
decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits compared to the
fourth quarter of 2025.
-- The Company recorded credit provision expense in the first quarter of
2026 of $213.0 thousand on loans and a recapture of $201.0 thousand on
unfunded commitments and the Company's allowance for credit losses at
March 31, 2026, was $68.0 million, or 1.3% of total loans.
-- Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $12.9 million
compared to $11.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an
increase in gains on securities of $1.9 million and a $821.0 thousand
increase in other non-interest income, which was partially offset by a
decrease of $1.3 million in income from company-owned life insurance in
the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. In the
prior quarter, collection of death proceeds from company-owned life
insurance increased non-interest income by $1.7 million.
-- Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $51.4 million
compared to $48.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to
an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits of $1.6 million, an
increase in occupancy costs of $631.0 thousand and an increase in
equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance of $455.0 thousand.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including with respect to (or based on) the beliefs, goals, intentions, and expectations of Burke & Herbert regarding its merger with LINKBANCORP, Inc. (the "proposed transaction"), revenues, earnings, earnings per share, loan production, asset quality, and capital levels, among other matters; our estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions we may take; our assessments of expected losses on loans; our assessments of interest rate and other market risks; our ability to achieve our financial and other strategic goals; the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction; the expected cost savings, synergies, returns and other anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction; and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward--looking statements are typically identified by such words as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "will," "should," and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those relating to the terms, timing and closing of the proposed transaction.
Additionally, forward--looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; Burke & Herbert does not assume any duty, and does not undertake, to update such forward--looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Furthermore, because forward--looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Burke & Herbert. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the management of Burke & Herbert and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties outside of its control. Caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Burke & Herbert and LINK; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Burke & Herbert or LINK; the possibility that the proposed transaction will not close due to a failure to meet customary conditions to the closing; the ability of Burke & Herbert and LINK to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction will not be realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where Burke & Herbert and LINK do business; certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the parties' ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the parties may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in the merger within the expected timeframes or at all and to successfully integrate LINK's operations and those of Burke & Herbert; such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; revenues following the proposed transaction may be lower than expected; Burke & Herbert's success in executing its business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing; the dilution caused by Burke & Herbert's issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the proposed transaction; effects of the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed transaction on the ability of Burke & Herbert and LINK to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers, and on their operating results and businesses generally; and risks related to the potential impact of global macroeconomic conditions and changes in general economic, political and market factors on the proposed transaction or our operations generally (either nationally or locally in the areas in which we conduct, or will conduct, business), including inflation, changes in interest rates, market volatility and monetary fluctuations, and changes in federal government policies and practices, including the impact with respect to spending on industries concentrated in our market area, as well as the impact from tariffs on the markets we serve; increased competition; changes in consumer confidence and demand for financial services, including changes in consumer borrowing, repayment, investment, and deposit practices; changes in asset quality and credit risk; our ability to control costs and expenses; adverse developments in borrower industries or declines in real estate values; changes in and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations that pertain to our business and capital levels; our ability to raise capital as needed; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; emerging external focus among regulators and other officials related to risks in connection with the development and use of artificial intelligence; the effects of any cybersecurity breaches or events; the potential adverse effects of unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, terrorist acts, geopolitical conflicts and tensions, or public health events (such as pandemics), and of governmental and societal responses thereto; and the other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of Burke & Herbert's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other reports Burke & Herbert files with the SEC.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items such as merger-related expenses. The operating net income is more reflective of management's ability to grow the business and manage expenses. Adjusted non-interest expense also removes these significant items, such as merger-related expenses. Management believes it represents a more normalized non-interest expense total for periods with identified significant items.

Pretax, pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength because they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders' equity.

These non--GAAP measures enhance transparency by eliminating intangible assets from total assets, thereby providing additional insight into the relationship between the Company's tangible asset base and its tangible common equity.

In management's view, adjusted return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average assets are performance metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in evaluating the Company's profitability and efficiency in deploying capital and assets and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non--GAAP measures provide additional insight into the Company's underlying operating performance by focusing on returns generated from common equity, tangible common equity, and total assets, as applicable.
The adjusted measures exclude the after--tax effect of one--time merger--related expenses, which management believes enhances period--to--period comparability and provides a more representative view of the Company's ongoing earnings performance. Return on average tangible common equity measures further isolate performance attributable to tangible capital by excluding the impact of intangible assets, while return on average assets reflects the Company's effectiveness in generating earnings from its overall asset base. Management believes these measures, when considered together and alongside GAAP results, provide useful supplemental information for assessing profitability, capital efficiency, and operating trends.

The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
