Seattle, WA, April 28, 2026 — Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: SFBC), the holding company for Sound Community Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, or $0.61 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.87 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and $1.2 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

| Comments from the Chief Executive Officer and President / Chief Financial Officer | ||||||||||||||
“Economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates tempered loan demand in the first quarter. Nevertheless, we continued to generate solid deposit growth, with total deposits increasing $19.6 million during the quarter and $58.2 million over the past year, reflecting the strength of our customer relationships and franchise. We were also pleased to be ranked fourth in the Puget Sound Business Journal’s April 11, 2025 list of fastest-growing banks in Washington state based on deposit growth. Our continued ability to grow relationships, improve profitability and perform well despite external pressures reflects the dedication of our bankers and the trust our customers place in us.” remarked Laurie Stewart, Chief Executive Officer. "Our first quarter results demonstrate improving earnings capacity as margin expansion and balance sheet growth offset seasonal expense patterns,” said Wes Ochs, President and Chief Financial Officer. “Net interest income increased sequentially and year‑over‑year, both loans and deposits grew meaningfully during the quarter, and liquidity strengthened, providing flexibility to support loan demand.” Mr. Ochs added, “While credit metrics declined modestly during the quarter, nonperforming assets remain manageable and reserves continue to reflect the underlying risk characteristics of the portfolio. With improving funding dynamics and a healthy capital position, we remain focused on sustainable long‑term performance.” | ||||||||||||||

Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025
Interest income increased $181 thousand, or 1.3%, to $14.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $14.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher average balance of loans, investments, interest earning cash, and a 14 basis point increase in the average yield on loans, offset by a 145 basis point decline in the average yield on investments and a 28 basis point decline in the average yield interest-earning cash.
Interest income on loans increased $152 thousand, or 1.2%, to $13.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $13.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The average balance of total loans was $914.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $905.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase in the average balance of total loans was primarily due to growth in construction and land loans and home equity loans, partially offset by declines in one-to-four family loans, floating home loans and other consumer loans. The average balances for commercial and multifamily loans, manufactured home and commercial business loans remained relatively unchanged from the prior quarter. The average yield on total loans was 5.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up from 5.76% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. This increase in yield was primarily due to new loan originations at higher rates during the current quarter.
Interest income on investments was $97 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $122 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a 145 basis point decline in average yield, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of investments. Interest income on interest-earning cash increased modestly to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million for quarter ended December 31, 2025, reflecting a higher average balance partially offset by a lower average yield.
Interest expense decreased $204 thousand or 3.6%, to $5.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of lower borrowings, as well as lower average rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits, subordinated debt, and borrowings, generally reflecting lower market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by higher average balances of savings and money market accounts and certificate accounts. The average cost of deposits was 2.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, down from 2.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as higher costing deposits repriced lower due to market interest rate decreases from September 2025 through March 2026. Interest expense on FHLB advances was lower during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter due to the repayment of a maturing advance late in the prior quarter.
Net interest margin, annualized, increased to 3.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from 3.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to lower funding costs and an increase in the average balance of and rates paid on loans receivable.
A provision for credit losses of $123 thousand was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $49 thousand and provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $74 thousand. This compared to a provision for credit losses of $104 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $68 thousand and provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $36 thousand. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025 primarily reflects an increase in higher risk loan balances during the quarter, mainly construction and land loans, and an increase in unfunded loan commitments. Additionally, new qualitative adjustments were added to all commercial loan categories related to economic uncertainty surrounding geopolitical events as well as adjustments for volume of past due and adversely risk rated home equity and multifamily loans, as compared to economic uncertainty adjustments applied only to the consumer segments previously. These increases were partially offset by improvement in other consumer past due loans and commercial construction collateral values. Other qualitative adjustments were largely applied to

the same segments at a similar risk adjustment compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Expected credit loss estimates are based on a range of factors, including market conditions, borrower-specific information, projected delinquencies, and the anticipated effects of economic trends on borrowers' ability to repay.
Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025
Interest income on loans increased $719 thousand, or 5.7%, to $13.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of total loans was $914.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up from $896.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The average yield on total loans was 5.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up from 5.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Interest income on investments was $97 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $108 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to an 88 basis point decline in average yield, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of investments. Interest income on interest-earning cash increased $51 thousand to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase was a result of higher average balance of interest-earning cash, partially offset by lower average yield due to a reduction in the average rate paid on interest-earning cash.
Interest expense decreased $217 thousand, or 3.9%, to $5.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of a $15.0 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing demand and NOW accounts and a $14.4 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances, as well as lower average rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings reflecting lower market interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we paid down our subordinated debt by $4.0 million and repaid $15.0 million of FHLB borrowings that were scheduled to mature in January 2026. These average-balance decreases were partially offset by a $56.2 million increase in the average balance of savings and money market accounts, an $8.4 million increase in the average balance of certificate accounts, and an increase in the rate paid on subordinated debt. The average cost of deposits was 2.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, down from 2.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The average cost of subordinated debt was 9.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up from 5.79% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, due to the debt converting to a variable-rate instrument that reprices on a quarterly basis from the previous fixed-rate period. The average cost of FHLB advances was 4.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, down from 4.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, due to repayment of $15.0 million of advances during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Net interest margin, annualized, increased to 3.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from 3.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, reflecting both higher interest income and lower funding costs.
A provision for credit losses of $123 thousand was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $49 thousand and a provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $74 thousand. This compared to a release of provision for credit losses of $203 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, consisting of a release of provision for credit losses on loans of $85 thousand and a release of provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $118 thousand. The larger provision in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year resulted primarily from the annual updates to the model assumptions, a larger loan portfolio, as well as additional qualitative adjustments applied to the commercial loan segment, reflecting increased uncertainty in market conditions surrounding geopolitical events, in addition to the uncertainty adjustment tied to the impact of tariffs and other external factors affecting our clients already applied to our consumer portfolio. Expected credit loss estimates consider various factors, including market conditions, borrower-specific information, projected delinquencies, and anticipated effects of economic trends on borrowers' ability to repay.

Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025
Noninterest income during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025 increased by $43 thousand or 5.0%. There were fluctuations within certain income categories as noted below:
•an $84 thousand increase in other income due to lower estimated costs associated with closing our Tacoma branch in the current quarter compared to losses recognized on the disposal of Integrated Teller Machines (ITMs) decommissioned or replaced in the prior quarter;
•a $28 thousand increase in net gain on sale of loans, primarily related to a higher volume of loans sold; and
•a $20 thousand increase in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights, primarily reflecting changes in valuation assumptions associated with the prepayment speeds and interest rate declines applied to a smaller servicing portfolio, which led to a lower reduction in the portfolio fair value than in the prior quarter.
These increases were partially offset by:
•a $59 thousand decrease in earnings on BOLI, primarily due to fluctuations in market interest rates; and
•a $25 thousand decrease in service charges and fee income, primarily due to lower interchange income partially related to seasonal swipe activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 being higher during the holiday season.
Loans sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, totaled $6.1 million, compared to $4.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The change primarily relates to the seasonal timing of loan sales and loan activity, which typically slows down in the fourth quarter.
Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025
Noninterest income decreased $188 thousand, or 17.1% during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of:
•a $60 thousand decrease in service charges and fee income, primarily due to the timing of the recognition of the annual volume incentive paid by Mastercard in 2025 and 2026;
•a $65 thousand decrease in earnings from BOLI, primarily due to the strategic decision to surrender and exchange existing policies into higher yielding policies in the first quarter of 2025, with the benefit of improved yields continuing into the current quarter, partially offset by lower market interest rates in the current quarter;
•a $21 thousand decrease in mortgage servicing income as a result of a smaller servicing portfolio;
•a $41 thousand decline in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights due to an overall smaller servicing portfolio and changes in valuation assumptions associated with the cost to service loans and interest rate movements compared to the prior year; and
•a $53 thousand decrease in other income due to estimated Tacoma branch closure expenditures in the current quarter.
These decreases were partially offset by a $52 thousand increase in net gain on sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold.

Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025
The increase in noninterest expense during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was primarily related to:
•a $925 thousand increase in salaries and benefits due to a higher salaries expense, partially due to accrual reversals in the fourth quarter 2025, higher incentive expense, higher payroll taxes related to annual bonus payments, and higher expenses related to our employee stock ownership plan resulting from the strategic decision to reduce the amount purchased in the fourth quarter of 2025, thereby reducing the expense in the fourth quarter;
•a $251 thousand increase in regulatory assessments primarily due to the downward revision of estimated accrued expense in the fourth quarter of 2025, which resulted from lower than expected exam costs and reduced quarterly assessments due to a lower rate applied to a lower average asset balance with no corresponding true-up in the current quarter; and
•an $87 thousand increase in data processing, primarily due to a vendor reimbursement during the prior quarter and higher processing costs related to some of our software vendors partially due to the addition of new features, such as fraud detection software, which has resulted in lower operational losses in our operations line item.
These increases were partially offset by:
•a $182 thousand decrease in operations expense, primarily due to higher costs associated with our debit card processing in the prior quarter and lower fraud losses; and
•a $33 thousand decrease in occupancy due to higher property charges and maintenance fees recognized in the prior quarter primarily due to repair work performed in connection with the decommissioning of ITMs.
Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025
The decrease in noninterest expense during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was primarily related to:
•a $137 thousand decrease in salaries and benefits due to a reduction in salary expense due to the impact of deferred compensation accruals for key executives and an increase in deferred salaries due to loan growth, partially offset by an increase in medical expense due to higher premiums paid by the Company;
•a $23 thousand decrease in regulatory assessments, primarily due to reduced quarterly assessments resulting from a lower rate applied to a lower average asset balance; and
•a $10 thousand decrease in occupancy expense, due to higher building lease charges in 2025 resulting from lease renewals and maintenance charges.
These decreases were partially offset by a $136 thousand increase in operations expense, primarily due to higher costs associated with our debit card processing.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
Assets totaled $1.11 billion at March 31, 2026, up from $1.09 billion at December 31, 2025 and $1.07 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2025 was primarily a result of higher balance of loans held-for-portfolio and a new equity investment in the first quarter of 2026. These were also the reasons for the increase in total assets from March 31, 2025, along with higher balances of cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $469 thousand, or 0.3%, to $138.0 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $138.5 million at December 31, 2025, and increased $6.5 million, or 4.9%, from $131.5 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease from December 31, 2025 primarily relates to increase in loans held-for-portfolio and a new $5.0 million equity investment, partially offset by higher deposit balances. The increase from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher deposit balances, partially offset by an increase in loans held-for-portfolio, the new equity investment noted above, and the repayment of borrowings and subordinated debt during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Investment securities decreased $190 thousand, or 2.0%, to $9.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 2025, and decreased $409 thousand, or 4.2%, from $9.8 million at March 31, 2025. Held-to-maturity securities totaled $1.9 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to $2.1 million at March 31, 2025. Available-for-sale securities totaled $7.5 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $7.7 million at both December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The decreases in our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios from December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 related to principal paydowns or payoffs, as well as decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities.
Loans held-for-portfolio totaled $921.5 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $905.5 million at December 31, 2025 and $886.2 million at March 31, 2025. The increase from December 31, 2025, was primarily due to growth in construction and land loans. The increase from March 31, 2025, reflected growth in home equity, commercial real estate, multifamily and construction and land loans. These increases were partially offset by a decline in one-to-four family loans, driven by fewer new home loans and normal amortization, as well as a decrease in floating home loans and other consumer loans.
Equity securities totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2026, compared to zero at both December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The increase primarily related to the strategic decision to deploy some of our interest-earning cash into a higher yielding Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”)-eligible workforce housing equity investment in the first quarter of 2026. While this investment carries more risk, the level of investment remains low compared to our total assets and partially replaces the runoff of our CRA-eligible available-for-sale debt securities over the past few years.
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans (including nonperforming modified loans), other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets, increased $1.4 million, or 22.1%, to $7.5 million at March 31, 2026, from $6.1 million at December 31, 2025, and decreased $2.2 million, or 22.9%, from $9.7 million at March 31, 2025. The increase from December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the placement of $1.8 million of loans on nonaccrual status, including one multifamily loan of $1.1 million, partially offset by loan payoffs, returns to accrual status, charged-offs, and OREO sales. The decrease from one year ago was primarily due to loan payoffs totaling $7.9 million, returns to accrual status, and charged-offs, partially offset by $6.5 million of new nonaccrual loans.
Nonperforming loans totaled $7.4 million at March 31, 2026, with commercial and multifamily loans representing $4.2 million, or 57.1% of total nonperforming loans, reflecting a concentration in larger relationships. One-to-four family nonperforming loans totaled $1.9 million, or 26.3% of total nonperforming loans, and the remaining balance of nonperforming loans was primarily comprised of manufactured home, home equity, and other consumer loans.

Total deposits increased $20 million, or 2.1%, to $968.5 million at March 31, 2026, from $948.9 million at December 31, 2025, and increased $58.2 million, or 6.4%, from $910.3 million at March 31, 2025. The increase in total deposits from December 31, 2025 was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in customer account balances, new client deposits, and higher balances from large depositors. The increase from the prior year end was primarily due to new depositors and existing depositors increasing their balances. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $1.5 million, or 1.1%, to $131.1 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $132.6 million at December 31, 2025 and increased $4.4 million, or 3.5%, compared to $126.7 million at March 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 13.5%, 14.0% and 13.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
FHLB advances totaled $10.0 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to $25.0 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease from March 31, 2025 was due to the early repayment of a $15.0 million FHLB advance during the fourth quarter of 2025 which was originally scheduled to mature in January 2026. FHLB advances are primarily used to support organic loan growth and maintain liquidity ratios in line with our asset/liability objectives. A single FHLB advance outstanding at March 31, 2026 matures in early 2028. Subordinated notes, net, totaled $7.8 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to $11.8 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease in subordinated notes reflects a $4.0 million paydown completed on the first scheduled repricing date of October 1, 2025, as part of a strategic decision to reduce higher costing debt.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $110.4 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.0 million, or 0.9%, from $109.4 million at December 31, 2025, and an increase of $6.0 million, or 5.7%, from $104.4 million at March 31, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of $1.6 million of net income earned during the current quarter and $57 thousand in share-based compensation, partially offset by an $80 thousand increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and the payment of $541 thousand in cash dividends to the Company's stockholders.
