FRESNO, CA - January 22, 2026. United Security Bancshares (Nasdaq: UBFO) today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company reported net income of $12.3 million, or $0.70 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $14.8 million, or $0.85 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights (as of, or for, the quarter ended December 31, 2025, except where noted):
On December 16, 2025, the Company announced that it signed a definitive merger agreement with Community West Bancshares pursuant to which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger transaction.
Net interest margin increased to 4.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 4.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Annualized average cost of deposits was 0.99% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.11% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Net income for the quarter increased 36.83% to $3.4 million, compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Loan interest and fees decreased 2.36% to $13.5 million, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, due primarily to reductions in loan balances.
Interest income decreased 1.63% to $14.9 million, compared to $15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, due to the decrease in loan and fee income and a decrease in investment securities income, partially offset by an increase in interest income on overnight investments held at the Federal Reserve.
Interest expense decreased 19.09% to $2.7 million, as a result of decreases in short-term borrowing costs and deposit interest expense, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Noninterest income increased 1020.83% to $1.3 million, compared to $120,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a change in the fair value of the junior subordinated debentures (“TruPS”) of $946,000.
On October 1, 2025, a partial redemption of $3.0 million was recorded on TruPS, leaving a remaining contractual balance of $6.0 million at December 31, 2025. The partial redemption resulted in a gain of $240,000, which was recorded in the income statement.
Following the partial redemption, the total fair value of TruPS, inclusive of a change in accrued interest of $49,000, changed by $49,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. A loss of $49,000 was recorded through the income statement, and a gain of less than $1,000 was recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the total fair value of TruPS, inclusive of a change in accrued interest of $49,000, changed by $189,000. A loss of $755,000 was recorded through the income statement, and a $566,000 gain, net of tax, was recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $468,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decreased credit provision was due to a decrease in loan balances.
Noninterest expense increased 18.55% to $8.8 million, compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This increase was due primarily to merger-related expenses and an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and partially offset by decreases in professional fees and loan expenses.
Annualized return on average assets (ROAA) increased to 1.12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 0.81% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Annualized return on average equity (ROAE) increased to 9.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 7.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Total loans, net of unearned fees, decreased 1.40% to $915.4 million, compared to $928.5 million at December 31, 2024.
Total deposits increased 2.95% to $1.09 billion, compared to $1.06 billion at December 31, 2024.

Dennis Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our fourth quarter results reflect strong execution, highlighted by net income growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and net interest margin (NIM) expansion to 4.36%. Effective deposit cost management as rates shifted in 2025 drove our fourth-quarter cost of deposits to a low of 0.99%, outpacing the decrease in loan yields and expanding our net interest margin. We enter 2026 with a robust loan pipeline and a $69.4 million increase in unfunded commitments compared to the end of 2024. Furthermore, our pending merger with Community West Bancshares remains on track to close in 2026, positioning us to scale our impact and deliver enhanced value to our customers, employees, and shareholders.”

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended December 31, 2025:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $3.4 million and earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.19, compared to net income of $2.5 million and $0.14 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $4.0 million and $0.23 per basic and diluted share. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased 36.83% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily the result of decreases of $745,000 in the provision for credit losses, $324,000 in short-term borrowing expense, and $314,000 in deposit interest expense, partially offset by increases of $1.4 million in noninterest expense and $64,000 in income tax provision expense, and decreases of $325,000 in loan and fee income and $261,000 in investment income. Also included in the increase in income was the realization of a gain of $240,000 related to the partial redemption of $3.0 million in TruPS, and an offsetting loss of $49,000 due to changes in fair value of TruPS during the quarter. ROAE for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was 9.67%, compared to 7.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. ROAA was 1.12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 0.81% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase in both ratios was due primarily to the increase in income.

The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.99% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.11% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased 3.22% between the periods ended December 31, 2024, and 2025, from $684.5 million to $662.4 million, respectively. Included in interest-bearing deposits are purchased brokered deposits with an average balance of $79.4 million and an average rate of 4.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Bank held purchased brokered deposits with an average balance of $100.0 million and an average rate of 4.91% during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The annualized average cost of funds, which includes deposit and short-term borrowing costs, was 0.99% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.17% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was due to decreases in short-term borrowings and decreases in rates paid on deposits.

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, was $12.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, representing a $391,000, or 3.31%, increase from the $11.8 million reported at December 31, 2024. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in interest on overnight investments held at the Federal Reserve and decreases in interest expense on short-term borrowings and deposits, offset by decreases in loan-interest income and investment securities interest income. The Company’s net interest margin of 4.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased from 4.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The net interest margin increased due to decreases in interest rates on interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, and TruPS outpacing decreases in interest rates on loan yields, investment securities, and overnight investments held at the Federal Reserve. While yields on interest-earning assets decreased from 5.41% to 5.33% between the two periods, including a decrease in loan yields from 5.84% to 5.80%, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.86% to 1.60%. Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, before the provision for credit losses, decreased $224,000 from the $12.4 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily due to decreases in loan and fee income and investment securities income, offset by increases in income on overnight investments held at the Federal Reserve, and decreases in short-term borrowing expense and deposit interest expense.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, totaled $1.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million from the $120,000 in noninterest income reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributed to a net gain of $191,000 recorded on the fair value of TruPS for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to a recorded loss of $755,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The change in the value of TruPS reflected in noninterest income was caused by the net gain realized on the partial redemption of TruPS and fluctuations in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Noninterest income decreased $273,000 from the $1.6 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a decrease in customer service fees of $104,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as well as a decrease in other noninterest income of $139,000.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, totaled $8.8 million, reflecting a $1.4 million increase over the $7.4 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase between the quarters ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, resulted primarily from $674,000 in merger-related expenses and an increase of $696,000 in salaries and employee benefit expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $196,000. Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to increases of $428,000 in group insurance costs and $184,000 in employee salary expense. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased $1.4 million from the $7.4 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This was due primarily to the $674,000 in merger-related expenses and an increase of $547,000 in salaries and employee benefits expense.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased to 65.09%, compared to 60.79% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This deterioration was due to increases in noninterest expense outpacing increases in noninterest income and net interest income. Noninterest expense increased due to merger-related expenses and increases in salaries and employee

benefits. Net interest income increased due to decreases in deposit interest expense and short-term borrowings and noninterest income increased due to the change recorded on the fair value of TruPS.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $850,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $786,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was 19.93%, compared to 23.96% and 28.86% for the quarters ended December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $12.3 million and earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.70, compared to net income of $14.8 million and $0.85 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased $2.5 million, or 16.88% when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily the result of increases of $2.6 million in the provision for credit losses, $1.7 million in deposit interest expense, and $3.3 million in noninterest expense, partially offset by decreases of $3.6 million in short-term borrowing expense and $1.1 million in the income tax provision, and increases of $1.0 million on the fair value of TruPS and $190,000 in loan and fee income. ROAE for the year ended December 31, 2025, was 9.02%, compared to 11.52% for the year ended December 31, 2024. ROAA was 1.01% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.22% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in both ratios was due primarily to the decrease in net income between the two periods.

The annualized average cost of deposits was 1.08% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 0.96% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 6.0% between the periods ended December 31, 2024, and 2025, from $639.7 million to $678.4 million, respectively. Interest-bearing deposits include purchased brokered deposits with an average balance of $94.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The average rate paid for brokered deposits for the year ended December 31, 2025, was 4.43%, compared to 5.55% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The annualized average cost of funds was 1.09% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.23% for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was due to decreases in short-term borrowings and short-term borrowing rates, partially offset by increases in rates paid on deposits.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a $1.9 million, or 4.10%, increase from the $46.9 million reported at December 31, 2024. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in loan-interest income, increases in income on overnight deposits held at the Federal Reserve, and decreases in interest expense on short-term borrowings. This increase was offset by increases in interest expense on deposits. Also included in the increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was an $890,000 interest payment related to a nonaccrual loan payoff. The Company’s net interest margin of 4.41% for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased from 4.26% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the net interest margin is primarily due to decreases in yields on interest-bearing liabilities outpacing decreases in yields on interest-earning assets. While yields on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.50% from 5.52% between the two periods, yields on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.74% from 1.95%. Loan yields decreased from 5.97% to 5.95% between the two periods, and deposit yields increased from 1.50% to 1.67%, due primarily to higher yields on purchased brokered deposits. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, and TruPS.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $5.1 million, increasing $373,000 from the $4.7 million in noninterest income reported for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase is primarily the result of a change in the fair value of TruPS. A gain of $391,000 was recorded on the fair value of TruPS for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $614,000 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change in the value of TruPS reflected in noninterest income was caused by fluctuations in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Included in the change in fair value of TruPS as of December 31, 2025, was a realized gain of $481,000 related to the partial redemption of $6.0 million of the TruPS contractual balance. This increase was partially offset by a $573,000 gain on proceeds from life insurance realized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $31.6 million, reflecting a $3.3 million increase over the $28.3 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase between the two periods resulted partially from increases of $1.7 million in salaries and employee benefit expenses, $509,000 in data processing expenses, and $435,000 in other noninterest expense as well as merger expenses totaling $674,000. Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to increases of $982,000 in group insurance costs and $526,000 in employee salaries. Data processing expenses increased due to increases in core processing expenses. Other noninterest expenses increased primarily due to a $441,000 increase in OREO expense.

The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased to 58.76%, compared to 54.82% for the year ended December 31, 2024. This deterioration was due to increases in noninterest expense outpacing increases in noninterest income and net interest income.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, was 26.40%, compared to 27.20% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased $36.6 million, or 3.02%, between December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Gross loan balances decreased $12.7 million, investment securities decreased $17.5 million, and total cash and cash equivalents increased $64.7 million. Included in the decrease in gross loan balances are decreases of $17.5 million in commercial and industrial loans and $5.7 million in installment loans, partially offset by increases of $7.7 million in real estate construction and development loans, $2.4 million in agricultural loans, and $47,000 in real estate mortgage loans. Declines in the investment portfolio were primarily the result of calls on, and maturities of, four corporate securities with book values totaling $14.3 million, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in unrealized losses on investment securities. Unfunded loan commitments increased from $204.0 million at December 31, 2024, to $273.4 million at December 31, 2025. OREO balances increased from $4.6 million at December 31, 2024, to $8.2 million at December 31, 2025. This increase was due to a foreclosure on nonaccrual loans, resulting in the transfer of $3.3 million to OREO.

Total deposits increased $31.2 million, or 2.95%, to $1.09 billion during the year ended December 31, 2025. This was due to increases of $61.7 million in noninterest-bearing deposits, offset by decreases of $30.6 million in interest-bearing deposits. Included in interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were brokered DDA accounts totaling $75.2 million and $100.3 million, respectively. The average rate paid for brokered deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was 4.09%. NOW and money market accounts decreased $32.3 million, time deposits decreased $1.6 million, and savings accounts increased $3.3 million. In total, NOW, money market, and savings accounts decreased 4.69% to $590.1 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $619.1 million at December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 17.14% to $421.9 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $360.2 million at December 31, 2024. Core deposits, which are comprised of noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW, money market, savings accounts, and time deposits less than $250,000, increased $55.7 million. Purchased brokered deposits are not included in core deposits.

Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2025, totaled $139.7 million, an increase of $9.3 million from the $130.4 million reported at December 31, 2024. The increase in equity was the result of $12.3 million in net income and a decrease of $4.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by $8.4 million in dividend payments. At December 31, 2025, the accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax totaled $9.9 million, compared to $14.4 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was primarily the result of a decrease of $5.4 million in unrealized losses, net of tax, on investment securities, offset by a decrease in the gain in OCI recorded on TruPS of $935,000, caused by market rate fluctuations and the partial redemption of $6.0 million of the contractual balance of TruPS. Changes in unrealized losses on the investment portfolio are attributed to changes in interest rates, not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, any securities held at an unrealized loss. On July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, the Company made partial redemptions of $3.0 million each on the contractual balance of TruPS, recognizing gains of $241,000 and $240,000, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the contractual balance of TruPS totaled $6.0 million.

The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared a cash dividend on common stock of $0.12 per share on December 16, 2025. The dividend was paid on January 13, 2026, to shareholders of record as of December 26, 2025, and is included in other liabilities as of December 31, 2025. No assurances can be provided as to the amount and/or declaration and payment of future dividends, if any. The Company continues to be well-capitalized and expects to maintain adequate capital levels.

Credit Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a provision of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The provisions recorded during 2025 and 2024 were primarily driven by deterioration within the student loan portfolio. Net loan charge-offs totaled $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses totaled 1.62% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.72% at December 31, 2024. Management considers the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025, to be adequate.

Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned through foreclosure (OREO), and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased $3.3 million between December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025,
4


to $13.9 million. As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets decreased from 1.42% at December 31, 2024, to 1.12% at December 31, 2025. The decrease in non-performing assets is primarily attributed to a decrease of $6.5 million in nonaccrual loans, partially offset by an increase of $3.6 million in OREO balances. During the first quarter of 2025, the Bank foreclosed on nonaccrual loans totaling $3.3 million and transferred the amount to OREO. Also included in the decrease in nonaccrual loans for the year ended December 31, 2025, was the payoff of a nonaccrual loan with a principal balance of $3.2 million, nonaccrual interest recognized of $890,000, and recovery of loan-related expenses of $168,000.
