Q3 2026 momentum drives upgrade in Capgemini’s 2026 outlook

  • Q3 2026 revenues of €6,073 million, up +11.7% at constant exchange rates*
  • 9M 2026 revenues of €18,155 million, up +11.4% at constant exchange rates
  • Q3 2026 bookings of €5,401 million, up +3.4% at constant exchange rates
  • Upgraded 2026 financial targets
    • Constant currency revenue growth* of +9.0% to +9.5% (was around +8.5% to +9.0%)
    • Operating margin* of 13.6% to 13.8% (unchanged)
    • Organic free cash flow* of around €1.8 billion to €1.9 billion (unchanged).

Paris, October 30, 2026 – The Capgemini Group reported Q3 2026 revenues of €6,073 million, up +12.6% at current exchange rates and +11.7% at constant exchange rates1.

Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group, said: “Capgemini delivered another solid quarter, with growth of +11.7% at constant exchange rates and underlying growth close to Q2, once again outperforming the industry. In a stable demand environment, we continue to see strong momentum in North America and the United Kingdom, and a clear acceleration in France.

Our strategy, focused on the new value pools created by AI, is translating into tangible business traction. Clients are now focused on deploying AI at enterprise scale, while addressing challenges related to governance, cost and security. This is driving demand for the modernization of their technology and data foundations, the critical prerequisite for the agentic enterprise. At the same time, clients are transforming their business operations with agentic AI, as reflected in another quarter of double-digit like-for-like growth in Intelligent Business Operations, strengthened by WNS’s scale and capabilities. We are also capturing opportunities in the defense sector and around sovereignty, as clients place greater emphasis on control and strategic resilience.

Capgemini is uniquely positioned to make AI real for its clients, combining technology, deep industry expertise, business transformation and operational execution, and increasingly leveraging an expanded partner ecosystem. We expect to maintain this momentum and target, on a higher comparison basis, a constant currency growth of 3% to 4% in Q4. On the strength of this quarter, we are raising our 2026 revenue growth target to +9.0% to +9.5% at constant exchange rates, while confirming our operating margin and organic free cash flow objectives.”

Key figures

  Revenues   Year-on-year change
(in millions of euros) 2025 2026   reported at constant exchange rates
Q3 5,393 6,073   +12.6% +11.7%
9 months 16,500 18,155   +10.0% +11.4%

The Group reported revenues of €6,073 million in Q3 2026, up +12.6% year-on-year. Excluding the +0.9% tailwind from currency fluctuations, constant currency growth* was +11.7%, reflecting solid underlying growth complemented by the contribution of WNS and Cloud4C.

The Group continued to execute strongly against the strategy presented at its Capital Markets Day. Clients are increasingly focused on AI transformation and scaling deployments enterprise-wide. This is driving growing demand for the modernization of their technology foundations and the deployment of the new agentic tech stack, while opening new opportunities to redesign and transform business operations with agentic AI.

With bookings of €5,401 million in Q3, up +3.4% year-on-year at constant exchange rates, the Group demonstrated good commercial momentum.

Operations by Region

TOTAL 6,073   +12.6% +11.7%  

The Group’s underlying growth (i.e. excluding the impact of acquisitions) in Q3 2026 was solid, supported by the positive momentum in North America and the United Kingdom, as well as continued improvements in France and the Rest of Europe. Acquisitions (notably WNS and Cloud4C closed in Q4 2025) had a material contribution to growth in the North America, United Kingdom & Ireland and Asia-Pacific regions.

In Q3 2026 and at constant exchange rates, revenues in North America (29% of 2025 Group revenues) grew +18.3% year-on-year, led by continued momentum in Financial Services, alongside strong performances in Manufacturing and Consumer Goods & Retail.

The United Kingdom and Ireland region (13% of 2025 Group revenues) posted revenue growth of +25.2% with strong traction in the Public Sector and a very dynamic Consumer Goods & Retail sector while TMT declined.

France (19% of 2025 Group revenues) continued its recovery, with revenues up by +4.9% year-on-year. Growth was primarily driven by Manufacturing and Financial Services, even as the Public Sector remained weak.

Revenues in the Rest of Europe region (30% of 2025 Group revenues) rose by +3.4%. The Public, Energy & Utilities and Services sectors all grew strongly, and Manufacturing turned slightly positive.

Finally, revenues in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America region (9% of 2025 Group revenues) increased +11.9%, supported by the contribution of WNS and Cloud4C, with good growth in the Financial Services and Consumer Goods & Retail sectors.

At constant exchange rates, Strategy & Transformation (8% of 2025 Group revenues) reported +18.6% growth in total revenues in Q3 2026.

Finally, total revenues in Operations & Engineering (29% of 2025 Group revenues) increased +26.9%, with double-digit growth on a like-for-like basis in Intelligent Business Operations, with strong performance across Capgemini and WNS activities.

Headcount

As of September 30, 2026, the Group’s total headcount stood at 417,500, up 62,800 or +18% year-on-year, primarily reflecting the integration of WNS team members, and down 5,900 compared to the end of 2025.

The onshore workforce was 141,900 employees. The offshore workforce was 275,600 employees, stable at 66% of the total headcount compared to the end of 2025.

Outlook

The Group’s financial targets for 2026 are updated as follows:

  • Revenue growth of +9.0% to +9.5% at constant exchange rates (was around +8.5% to +9.0%). The inorganic contribution is estimated at around 5 points (unchanged);
  • Operating margin of 13.6% to 13.8% (unchanged);
  • Organic free cash flow of around €1.8 billion to €1.9 billion (unchanged).

The organic free cash flow target takes into account an increase in restructuring cash outflow of around €200 million compared to 2025 related to the Fit-for-Growth initiatives.

Definitions

Year-on-year revenue growth at constant exchange rates is calculated by comparing revenues for the reported period with those of the same period of the previous year restated with the exchange rates of the reported period.

Reconciliation of growth rates Q1 2026 Q2 2026 Q3 2026 9M 2026
Growth at constant exchange rates +11.0% +11.6% +11.7% +11.4%
Exchange rate fluctuations -4.0pts -1.1pts +0.9pt -1.4pts
Reported growth +7.0% +10.5% +12.6% +10.0%

When determining activity trends by business and in accordance with internal operating performance measures, growth at constant exchange rates is calculated based on total revenues, i.e., before elimination of inter-business billing. The Group considers this to be more representative of activity levels by business. As its businesses change, an increasing number of contracts require a range of business expertise for delivery, leading to a rise in inter-business flows.

Operating margin is one of the Group’s key performance indicators. It is defined as the difference between revenues and operating costs. It is calculated before “Other operating income and expenses” which include amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations, expenses relative to share-based compensation (including social security contributions and employer contributions) and employee share ownership plan, and non-recurring revenues and expenses, notably impairment of goodwill, negative goodwill, capital gains or losses on disposals of consolidated companies or businesses, restructuring costs incurred under a detailed formal plan approved by the Group’s management, the cost of acquiring and integrating companies acquired by the Group, including earn-outs comprising conditions of presence, and the effects of curtailments, settlements and transfers of defined benefit pension plans.

Normalized net profit is equal to profit for the year (Group share) adjusted for the impact of items recognized in “Other operating income and expense”, net of tax calculated using the effective tax rate. Normalized earnings per share is computed like basic earnings per share, i.e., excluding dilution.

Organic free cash flow is equal to cash flow from operations less acquisitions of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets (net of disposals) and repayments of lease liabilities, adjusted for cash out relating to the net interest cost.

Net debt (or net cash) comprises (i) cash and cash equivalents, as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (consisting of short-term investments and cash at bank) less bank overdrafts, and also including (ii) cash management assets (assets presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position due to their characteristics), less (iii) short- and long-term borrowings. Account is also taken of (iv) the impact of hedging instruments when these relate to borrowings, intercompany loans, and own shares.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — H2O America (NASDAQ: HTO) (the “Company”) announced today that it has priced its previously announced underwritten public offering of 6.5 million equity units (the “Offering”). Each equity unit will be issued in a stated amount of $50 ($325.0 million aggregate stated amount) and will initially be in the form of a corporate unit consisting of a contract to purchase the Company’s common stock in the future (the “purchase contract”) and a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.300% Remarketable Senior Notes due 2031. The Remarketable Senior Notes are subject to remarketing, subject to certain conditions and during certain periods. The Offering is expected to close on November 3, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 975,000 equity units ($48.75 million additional aggregate stated amount), solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, within the 13-day period beginning on the day the Company first issues the corporate units.

The Company intends to apply to list the corporate units on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and expects trading to commence within 30 days of the date of initial issuance (subject to listing approval).

Total annual distributions on the equity units will be at the rate of 7.750% per year, consisting of interest payments of 5.300% per year on the Remarketable Senior Notes due 2031 and contract adjustment payments of 2.450% per year under the related stock purchase contracts. Under the purchase contracts, holders are required to purchase a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock no later than November 1, 2029. The reference price for the purchase contracts is $58.5686 per share, which is approximately equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 29, 2026. The minimum settlement rate under the purchase contracts is 0.7265 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is approximately equal to the $50 stated amount per equity unit divided by the threshold appreciation price of $68.8231 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 17.5% over the reference price. The maximum settlement rate under the purchase contracts is 0.8537 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is approximately equal to the $50 stated amount per equity unit divided by the reference price. Each of the settlement rates is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $315.3 million (or approximately $362.5 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, capital expenditures or debt repayment.

Wells Fargo Securities and J.P. Morgan are acting as joint book-running managers and as representatives of the underwriters for the Offering.

The Offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement, including the accompanying base prospectus. Before you invest, you should read the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, the registration statement, and the other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the Offering.

BEIJING, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InnoCare Pharma (HKEX: 09969; SSE: 688428), a leading biopharmaceutical company focusing on the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, announced today that the first subject has been dosed in the Phase 1 trial of ICP-B161, a bispecific antibody targeting TL1A and IL-23p19, for the potential treatment of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

With its novel molecular design, ICP-B161 delivers an extended half-life, which allows for less frequent dosing and supports subcutaneous administration, positioning it as a differentiated, long-acting bispecific antibody.

By simultaneously targeting TL1A and IL-23p19, ICP-B161 has shown synergistic effects in suppressing cytokine release and mitigating inflammatory responses, with the potential to modulate two key pathways involved in the pathogenesis and progression of IBD. In preclinical studies, ICP-B161 demonstrated strong efficacy, significantly reducing colitis-related symptoms, and was well tolerated. No bispecific antibody targeting both TL1A and IL-23p19 has yet been approved anywhere in the world.

Dr. Jasmine Cui, Co-Founder, Chairwoman, and CEO of InnoCare, said, “IBD is a progressive, lifelong disease. Despite existing therapies, a large proportion of patients still experience severe complications, and significant unmet medical need remains. We will continue to accelerate the development of ICP-B161 to bring better innovative treatment options to patients with IBD.”

IBD is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that affects an estimated 6.8 million people worldwide1.

Founder-led brand brings double-digit historical growth to Holley’s portfolio

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Holley Performance Brands (NYSE: HLLY), home to a portfolio of iconic automotive brands serving enthusiasts across the high-performance aftermarket, today announced it has acquired SXTH Element, a Spartanburg, S.C.-based maker of engineered forced-induction and airflow upgrades focused on late-model Toyota platforms. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

SXTH Element joins Holley’s Modern Truck & Off-Road consumer vertical, expanding Holley’s reach into new product categories and vehicle platforms. SXTH Element’s product line spans cold-air intakes, intercoolers, charge pipes, turbo inlets and catch cans, with a strong track record of bringing products to market within months of new Toyota model launches. The founding team will continue to lead the business, and the transaction is structured to incentivize continued growth following the acquisition.

Toyota redesigned its full truck and SUV lineup between 2022 and 2025, and SXTH Element offers parts for every model in that lineup: the Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia and Land Cruiser. All five models now use turbocharged engines, creating a young and expanding base of vehicles with years of modification ahead. Turbocharged engines reward intake and intercooler upgrades, which enthusiasts commonly pair with a performance tune and an exhaust. Alongside Holley’s existing tuning and exhaust capabilities, SXTH Element positions Holley to offer more complete performance solutions for these vehicles over time.

SXTH Element’s Toyota Tacoma. The brand joins Holley Performance Brands’ Modern Truck & Off-Road consumer vertical, expanding Holley’s performance product offerings for Toyota trucks and SUVs.

“We are disciplined about the brands we bring onto our platform. We look for founder-led businesses with authentic enthusiast credibility, a reputation for product excellence, strong growth in a large addressable market, and meaningful upside that Holley’s scale and resources can unlock. SXTH Element fits that profile,” said Matthew Stevenson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Holley Performance Brands. “That same discipline has guided us as we moved capital out of businesses that no longer fit our growth and margin goals and into categories where enthusiast demand is building. We believe SXTH Element gives our Modern Truck & Off-Road business an immediate foothold with a new base of enthusiasts, who love Toyota Trucks and SUVs.”

SXTH Element sells primarily direct to consumers today. Holley plans to expand the brand’s availability through its network of B2B partners. The acquisition follows Holley’s March 2026 purchase of racewear brand HRX, which has continued to broaden its product offering since joining the company.

“Holley is an iconic leader in performance and joining that legacy is an exciting next step for SXTH Element,” said Dan Wagoner, co-owner of SXTH Element. “We look forward to continuing to deliver for our customers while supporting Holley’s broader vision for the future of the automotive aftermarket.”

“I’m proud of what we’ve built at SXTH Element and excited to join the Holley team,” said Mark Scallan, co-owner of SXTH Element. “As enthusiasts ourselves, we’re looking forward to what we can build together for the community that got us here.”

  • Fiscal Year EPS Increases 8% to $3.96
  • Quarterly EPS Increases 6% to $1.04 from $0.98 for Preceding Quarter
  • Quarterly Return on Average Assets Increases to 1.56%
  • Quarterly Return on Average Equity Increases to 11.72%
  • Quarterly Net Interest Margin Increases to 3.96%
  • Quarterly Cash Dividend Increases 3%

HOQUIAM, Wash., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”), the holding company for Timberland Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $31.17 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 7% from $29.16 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Earnings per diluted common share (“EPS”) increased 8% to $3.96 for the 2026 fiscal year from $3.67 for the 2025 fiscal year.

Timberland also reported net income of $8.11 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. This compares to net income of $7.72 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share for the preceding quarter, and $8.45 million, or $1.07 per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter one year ago. (Note: net income for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by a $1.04 million bank owned life insurance benefit claim.)

“We closed out the fiscal year on a high note, delivering record annual earnings per share and a strong fourth quarter,” stated Dean Brydon, Chief Executive Officer. “Net income and earnings per share increased 5% and 6%, respectively, from the prior quarter, while net interest margin widened compared with both the prior quarter and year-ago quarter. While earnings were lower than the year-ago quarter, that period included a $1.04 million BOLI insurance claim, and excluding that benefit, results compared favorably. For the full fiscal year, we also improved our net interest margin and return on average assets while generating solid growth in net loans. We are proud of what our team accomplished this year in serving our customers, communities, and shareholders, and we look forward to building on that progress in the new year.”

“As a result of Timberland’s strong earnings and capital position, our Board of Directors announced a 3% increase to the quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.31 per share, payable on November 27, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 12, 2026,” stated Jonathan Fischer, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Marking our 56th consecutive quarterly cash dividend, this payment reflects the Board’s continued confidence in Timberland’s long-term prospects.”

“Overall, fourth quarter earnings were strong and largely free of non-recurring items,” said Marci Basich, Chief Financial Officer. “Revenue generation was strong and net interest margin expanded 11 basis points from the prior quarter and 14 basis points from the year-ago quarter, reflecting our disciplined approach to pricing on both sides of the balance sheet. We also continued to build shareholder value during the quarter, growing tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) to $33.54, while repurchasing 40,395 shares of our common stock. These actions, combined with the dividend increase, reflect both the strength of our earnings and our confidence in the long-term value of the franchise.”

“Net loans grew 2% from the prior quarter, a testament to the strength of our lending teams and the continued demand we are seeing in our markets,” Brydon continued. “Credit quality held steady with modest improvements in non-performing asset levels, delinquency levels, and substandard loan levels. While net charge-offs increased, that was largely the result of charging off specific reserves we had already set up on several loans in prior periods. Our markets continue to offer solid growth opportunities and we remain confident in the quality of our loan portfolio and our disciplined approach to credit risk management.”

Earnings and Balance Sheet Highlights (at or for the periods ended September 30, 2026, compared to September 30, 2025, or June 30, 2026):

Earnings Highlights:

    • EPS increased 6% to $1.04 for the current quarter from $0.98 for the preceding quarter and decreased 3% from $1.07 for the comparable quarter one year ago;
    • EPS increased 8% to $3.96 for fiscal year 2026 from $3.67 for fiscal year 2025;
    • Net income increased 5% to $8.11 million for the current quarter from $7.72 million for the preceding quarter and decreased 4% from $8.45 million for the comparable quarter one year ago;
    • Net income increased 7% to $31.17 million for the 2026 fiscal year from $29.16 million for the 2025 fiscal year;
    • Return on average equity (“ROE”) and return on average assets (“ROA”) for the current quarter were 11.72% and 1.56%, respectively;
    • Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the current quarter increased to 3.96% from 3.85% for the preceding quarter and 3.82% for the comparable quarter one year ago; and
    • The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 53.94% compared to 53.40% for the preceding quarter and 53.18% for the comparable quarter one year ago.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

    • Total assets increased slightly, less than 1%, from the prior quarter and increased 3% year-over-year;
    • Net loans receivable increased 2% from the prior quarter and increased 4% year-over-year;
    • Total deposits increased slightly, less than 1%, from the prior quarter and increased 3% year-over-year;

    • Non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.42% at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.43% at June 30, 2026, and 0.23% at September 30, 2025;
    • Book and tangible book (non-GAAP) values per common share increased to $35.51 and $33.54, respectively, at September 30, 2026; and
    • Liquidity (both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet) remained strong at September 30, 2026, with only $5 million in borrowings and additional secured borrowing line capacity of $810 million available through the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve.

Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for credit losses plus non-interest income) for the current quarter increased 5% to $22.79 million from $21.79 million for the preceding quarter and increased 1% from $22.49 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in operating revenue compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans receivable, and to a lesser extent, an increase in non-interest income. These increases in operating revenue were partially offset by a decrease in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in banks, and to a lesser extent, an increase in interest expense. Operating revenue increased 6%, to $87.34 million for the 2026 fiscal year from $82.55 million for the 2025 fiscal year, primarily due to increases in interest income on loans receivable and interest income on interest-bearing deposits in banks, and a decrease in interest expense. These increases in operating revenue for the fiscal year were partially offset by decreases in interest income on investment securities and net BOLI earnings.

Net interest income increased $857,000 or 5%, to $19.66 million for the current quarter from $18.81 million for the preceding quarter and increased $1.27 million, or 7%, from $18.40 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in net interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an $11.46 million increase in the average interest-earning assets, a nine-basis point increase in the weighted average yield on interest-bearing assets and, to a lesser extent, a one-basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income for the 2026 fiscal year increased $5.46 million, or 8%, to $75.66 million from $70.20 million for the 2025 fiscal year, primarily due to an $89.24 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a 17-basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Timberland’s NIM for the current quarter increased to 3.96% from 3.85% for the preceding quarter and from 3.82% for the comparable quarter one year ago. The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately two basis points due to the collection of $94,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $8,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately two basis points due to the collection of $82,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $8,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately two basis points due to the collection of $102,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $11,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. Timberland’s NIM expanded to 3.87% for fiscal year 2026 from 3.76% for fiscal year 2025.

A $475,000 provision for credit losses on loans was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The provision was primarily due to loan portfolio growth and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. This compares to a $600,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the preceding quarter and a $213,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the comparable quarter one year ago.

Non-interest income increased $134,000, or 4%, to $3.12 million for the current quarter from $2.99 million for the preceding quarter and decreased $971,000, or 24%, from $4.09 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $99,000 increase in BOLI net earnings and smaller increases in several other categories. Non-interest income for the 2026 fiscal year decreased by 5%, to $11.68 million from $12.35 million for the 2025 fiscal year. The decrease in non-interest income compared to the prior year periods was primarily the result of a $1.04 million BOLI death benefit claim recorded in the comparable quarter one year ago.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses for the current quarter increased $652,000, or 6%, to $12.29 million from $11.64 million for the preceding quarter and increased $331,000, or 3%, from $11.96 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits expense and ATM and debit card processing expense and smaller decreases and increases in several other expense categories. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 53.94% compared to 53.40% for the preceding quarter and 53.18% for the comparable quarter one year ago. For the 2026 fiscal year, operating expenses increased $1.63 million, or 4%, to $47.02 million from $45.39 million for the 2025 fiscal year. The efficiency ratio for the 2026 fiscal year improved to 53.83% from 54.98% for the 2025 fiscal year.

The provision for income taxes for the current quarter increased $32,000, or 2%, to $1.96 million from $1.93 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to higher taxable income. Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 19.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to 20.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 18.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 19.9% for fiscal year 2026 compared to 19.5% for fiscal year 2025.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased $2.97 million, or less than 1%, during the quarter to $2.06 billion at September 30, 2026, from $2.06 billion at June 30, 2026, and increased $51.01 million, or 3%, from $2.01 billion one year ago. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to an increase in net loans receivable, which was partially offset by decreases in total cash and cash equivalents and investment securities.

Liquidity

Timberland has continued to maintain a strong liquidity position, both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet. Liquidity, as measured by the sum of cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment, and available for sale investment securities, was 18.5% of total liabilities at September 30, 2026, compared to 19.3% at June 30, 2026, and 18.8% one year ago. Timberland also had secured borrowing line capacity of $810 million available through the FHLB and the Federal Reserve at September 30, 2026. With a strong and diversified deposit base, only 20% of Timberland’s deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized at September 30, 2026. (Note: This calculation excludes public deposits that are fully collateralized.)

Loans

Net loans receivable increased $30.60 million, or 2%, during the quarter to $1.53 billion at September 30, 2026, from $1.50 billion at June 30, 2026, and increased $62.66 million, or 4%, from $1.46 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to an $18.19 million increase in multi-family loans, a $6.33 million increase in one- to four-family loans, a $3.12 million increase in land loans, a $2.04 million increase in commercial business loans, a $1.03 million increase in construction and land development loans, and smaller increases in several other loan categories. These increases were partially offset by a $1.85 million increase in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process and smaller changes in several other loan categories.

Timberland originated $101.88 million in loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $133.67 million for the preceding quarter and $100.09 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. Timberland continues to originate fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans, a portion of which are sold into the secondary market for asset-liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income. During the current quarter, fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $9.52 million were sold compared to $7.83 million for the preceding quarter and $9.01 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.

Investment Securities

Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment decreased $8.62 million, or 4%, to $208.28 million at September 30, 2026, from $216.89 million at June 30, 2026, and decreased $14.90 million, or 7% from $223.18 million at September 30, 2025. The decreases were primarily due to the maturities of U.S. Treasury Securities and scheduled amortization, which were partially offset by the purchase of additional CDs and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed investment securities.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

BOLI increased $345,000, or 1%, to $37.73 million at September 30, 2026, from $37.39 million at June 30, 2026, and increased $15.90 million, or 73% from $21.83 million at September 30, 2025. The increase during the year was primarily due to $15.00 million in additional BOLI policies purchased during the June 30, 2026 quarter.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $5.58 million, or less than 1%, during the quarter to $1.77 billion at September 30, 2026, from $1.76 billion at June 30, 2026, and increased $52.49 million, or 3%, from $1.72 billion at September 30, 2025. The quarter’s increase consisted of an $11.59 million increase in non-interest-bearing deposit account balances, a $2.85 million increase in money market deposit account balances, and a $2.00 million increase in savings account balances. These increases were partially offset by a $7.88 million decrease in NOW checking account balances and a $2.99 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.

Borrowings

Total borrowings decreased $5.00 million, or 50%, to $5.00 million at September 30, 2026, from $10.00 million at June 30, 2026 and decreased $15.00 million, or 75% at September 30, 2025.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

Total shareholders’ equity increased $3.10 million, or 1%, to $276.31 million at September 30, 2026, from $273.21 million at June 30, 2026, and increased $13.70 million, or 5%, from $262.61 million at September 30, 2025. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the quarter was primarily due to net income of $8.11 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $325,000. These increases to shareholders’ equity were partially offset by the payment of $2.33 million in dividends to shareholders and the repurchase of 40,395 shares of common stock for $1.85 million (an average price of $45.83 per share), and a $1.43 million increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2026, Timberland had 117,582 shares available to be repurchased in accordance with the terms of its existing stock repurchase plan.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 20.86%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 12.91%, a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) of 12.74%, and a shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio of 13.39% at September 30, 2026. Timberland’s held to maturity investment securities were $105.35 million at September 30, 2026, with a net unrealized loss of $5.49 million (pre-tax). Although not permitted by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including these unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) would result in a ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets of 13.21%, compared to 13.39%, as reported.

Asset Quality
Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.42% at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.43% at June 30, 2026, and 0.23% at September 30, 2025. Net charge-offs were $1.07 million for the current quarter compared to net recoveries of $1,000 for the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of less than $1,000 for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in charge-offs was primarily the result of charging off specific reserves that had been set up in prior quarters on several loans, including $436,000 on a participation loan. During the current quarter, a $475,000 provision for credit losses on loans was made, which was partially offset by a $45,000 recapture of credit losses on unfunded commitments and a $1,000 recapture of credit losses on investment securities. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) for loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.21% at September 30, 2026, compared to 1.27% at June 30, 2026, and 1.22% one year ago.

Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans decreased $3,000, less than 1%, to $8.70 million at September 30, 2026, from $8.71 million at June 30, 2026, and increased $3.05 million, or 54%, from $5.66 million at September 30, 2025. Non-accrual loans decreased $163,000 or 2%, to $8.39 million at September 30, 2026 from $8.56 million at June 30, 2026, and increased $3.99 million, or 90%, from $4.41 million at September 30, 2025. Loans graded “Substandard” decreased $271,000, or 3%, to $8.39 million at September 30, 2026 from $8.66 million at June 30, 2026 and decreased $24.41 million, or 74%, from $32.80 million at September 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Timberland believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance; however, readers of this report are urged to review these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP results as reported.

Financial measures that exclude intangible assets are non-GAAP measures. To provide investors with a broader understanding of capital adequacy, Timberland provides non-GAAP financial measures for tangible common equity, along with the GAAP measure. Tangible common equity is calculated as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and CDI. In addition, tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and CDI.

The following table provides a reconciliation of ending shareholders’ equity (GAAP) to ending tangible shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) and ending total assets (GAAP) to ending tangible assets (non-GAAP).

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication may contain “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, among others, statements regarding the expected timing, completion and effects of the proposed business combination transaction between First Hawaiian, Inc. (“FHI”) and TriCo Bancshares (“TriCo”) (the “Transaction”), and the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of FHI and TriCo. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “annualized,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature.

FHI and TriCo caution that the forward-looking statements in this communication are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess and are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond FHI’s and TriCo’s control. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions, and in conditions impacting the banking industry specifically; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal, monetary and trade policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board or the effects of any declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, high or increasing unemployment rates, continued or renewed inflation, the impact of proposed or imposed tariffs by the U.S. government or retaliatory tariffs proposed or imposed by U.S. trading partners that could have an adverse impact on customers or any recession or slowdown in economic growth particularly in the markets in which FHI and TriCo conduct business, including Hawaii, Guam, Saipan and California; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; changes in interest rates that could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect asset yields and valuations and funding sources, including impacts on prepayment speeds; competitive pressures among financial institutions and nontraditional providers of financial services, including on product pricing and services; concentrations within FHI’s or TriCo’s loan portfolio (including commercial real estate loans) or other asset classes, and the parties’ ability to attract and retain customer deposits, large loans to certain borrowers, access liquidity and capital, and manage deposit costs and funding sources; the success, impact, and timing of FHI’s and TriCo’s respective business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services and FHI’s and TriCo’s ability to successfully implement strategic, operational, technology and integration initiatives; the failure to properly use and protect customer and employee information and data; cybersecurity risks, including the occurrence of fraudulent activity or a material breach of, or disruption to, the security of FHI’s, TriCo’s or their vendors’ systems; risks related to the development, implementation, use and management of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies; the effects of failures or interruptions of information, communications or third-party service-provider systems; the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations; changes in laws or regulations; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as wildfires; 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 merger agreement to which FHI and TriCo are parties; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been and may be instituted against FHI or TriCo, including potential litigation relating to the Transaction; delays in completing the Transaction; the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Transaction); the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions to the closing of the Transaction on a timely basis or at all; changes in FHI’s or TriCo’s share price before closing, including as a result of the financial performance of the other party prior to closing, or more generally due to broader stock market movements, and the performance of financial companies and peer group companies; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the Transaction are not 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 FHI and TriCo 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; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; the ability to complete the Transaction and integration of FHI and TriCo promptly and successfully; the dilution caused by FHI’s issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the Transaction; and other factors that may affect the future results of FHI and TriCo.

The foregoing factors should not be considered an exhaustive list and should be read together with the other cautionary statements set forth in FHI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on FHI’s investor relations website, https://ir.fhb.com, under the heading “SEC Filings,” in other documents FHI files with the SEC, and in TriCo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and available on TriCo’s website, www.tcbk.com, under the “About” tab and the “Investor Relations” link and then under the heading “SEC Filings” and in other documents TriCo files with the SEC, and in the joint proxy statement/prospectus of FHI and TriCo, dated September 16, 2026. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and neither FHI nor TriCo undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
