Select guidance is being provided for 2026. Our outlook may change if the expectations for these items vary from current expectations. Balance Sheet: Expect loan and deposit growth rates to be in the mid single digits for the remainder of 2026 (annualized). Loan pipelines remain relatively strong. Expect investment portfolio balances to increase by low to mid single digits for the remainder of 2026 (annualized). Net Interest Income: Net interest income (non-FTE) expected to be in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.17 billion for 2026 (assumes no rate cuts in 2026). Loan purchase accounting accretion is currently estimated at ~$26 million for FY 2026 (includes scheduled and estimated accelerated accretion). Provision Expense: Asset quality remains sound. Provision expense will be dependent on the future economic outlook, future credit trends within United’s portfolio, and loan growth. Expect our credit performance to outperform the industry. Current planning assumption for provision expense is $36 million for FY 2026. Non Interest Income: Expect non interest income to be in the range of $125 million to $135 million for 2026. Mortgage banking revenue will be subject to industry trends. Non Interest Expense: Expect non interest expense to be in the range of $615 million to $630 million for 2026.
