SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

First Foundation Inc. (“FFI”) is a financial services holding company whose operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries:  First Foundation Advisors (“FFA”) and First Foundation Bank (“FFB” or the “Bank”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of FFB, First Foundation Public Finance (“FFPF”), First Foundation Insurance Services (“FFIS”) and Blue Moon Management, LLC (collectively the “Company”).  FFI also has two inactive wholly owned subsidiaries, First Foundation Consulting and First Foundation Advisors, LLC.  FFI is incorporated in the state of Delaware.  The corporate headquarters for FFI is located in Irving, Texas.  The Company provides a comprehensive platform of financial services to individuals, businesses and other organizations and has offices in California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, and Hawaii.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial reporting presentation.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the 2025 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.  These financial statements assume that readers have read the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry.  We have not made any changes in our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.  The FASB issued this Update to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments to this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.  The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 2: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Current accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates for market assumptions.  These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.  An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever possible.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  Valuations may be determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

The following tables show the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:

The decrease in Level 3 assets from December 31, 2024 was due to securitization paydowns in the FHLMC portfolio in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2025.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

From time to time, we may be required to measure other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Loans. Loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include collateral dependent loans held for investment. The specific reserves for these loans are based on collateral value, net of estimated disposition costs and other identified quantitative inputs. Collateral value is determined based on independent third-party appraisals or internally-developed discounted cash flow analyses. Internal discounted cash flow analyses are also utilized to estimate the fair value of these loans, which considers internally-developed, unobservable inputs such as discount rates, default rates, and loss severity. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we

measure the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price or a discounted cash flow has been used to determine the fair value, we measure the collateral-dependent loan at nonrecurring Level 3.  Loans for which an appraised value is not available include commercial loans which are secured by non-real estate assets such as accounts receivable and inventory.  To establish fair value for these loans, we apply a recovery factor against eligible receivables and inventory.  This recovery factor may be either increased or decreased subject to additional support and analysis of the quality of receivables and the companies owing the receivables.  The total collateral-dependent loans were $26.2 million and $27.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Specific reserves related to these loans totaled $0.5 million and $0.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Real Estate Owned (REO). The fair value of REO is based on external appraised values that include adjustments for estimated selling costs and assumptions of market conditions that are not directly observable, resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Real estate owned classified as Level 3 totaled $6.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount.  Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount.  If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income.  All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. At June 30, 2025, there was no valuation allowance on the mortgage servicing rights.  Significant assumptions in the valuation of these Level 3 mortgage servicing rights as of June 30, 2025, included prepayment rates ranging from 20% to 30% and a discount rate of 10%.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.  The fair value for loans held for sale is based upon a discounted cash flow model which involves estimating the future cash flows from the loans in the portfolio and discounting to a present value.  Contractual cash flows associated with the loans are adjusted to reflect certain assumptions, such as prepayment, default, and loss severity assumptions, to form expected prepayment and credit-adjusted expected cash flows.  The expected cash flows are then discounted to present value at a rate of return which considers other costs and risks, such as market risk and liquidity.  The carrying amount and fair value of loans held for sale were $477 million and $1.3 billion, respectively at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.  

Significant assumptions in the valuation of these Level 3 loans held for sale as of June 30, 2025, included prepayment rates of 5% and 20% for fixed-rate and floating-rate loans, respectively; discount rates ranging from 2.50% to 5.85%; and an annual expected loss assumption rate of 0.05%.  These assumptions applied to 89.8% of the total principal balance of the loan portfolio.  The remaining 10.2% of the principal balance of the loan portfolio consisted of twenty loans that were rated as substandard, and for which separate assumptions were used to account for the lower credit quality of the loans.  Significant assumptions in the valuation of these Level 3 loans held for sale as of December 31, 2024, included prepayment rates of 5% and 15% for fixed-rate and floating-rate loans, respectively; discount rates ranging from 2.10% to 6.25%; and annual expected loss assumption rate of 0.05%.  These assumptions applied to 97.4% of the total principal balance of the loan portfolio.  The remaining 2.6% of the principal balance of the loan portfolio consisted of seventeen loans that were rated as substandard, and for which separate assumptions were used to account for the lower credit quality of the loans.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825-10, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate such value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price notion set forth by ASU 2016-01. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other market value techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented below do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally, unexpected changes in events or circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on-and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions.  The fair value of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their carrying values.  These financial instruments are classified as a component of cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale.  Investment securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the securities are classified as Level 3 and reliance is placed upon external third-party models, and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. Level 1 investment securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 investment securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Investment securities classified as Level 3 include beneficial interests in FHLMC securitizations. Significant assumptions in the valuation of these Level 3 securities as of June 30, 2025 included a prepayment rate of 20% and a discount rate of 6.25%.  Significant assumptions used in the valuation of these Level 3 investment securities as of December 31, 2024 included a prepayment rate of 20% and a discount rate of 6.87%.

Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity.  Investment securities held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.  Investment securities held-to-maturity consist of agency mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities.  Fair value is determined based upon the same independent pricing model utilized for valuation of Level 2 investment securities available-for-sale.

Investment in Equity Securities. The fair value on investment in equity securities is the carrying amount and is  evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

Loans Held for Investment. The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans or by reference to secondary market pricing. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk.

Accrued Interest Receivable. The fair value of accrued interest receivable on loans and investment securities approximates its carrying value.

Derivative Instruments (Cash Flow Hedge).  The Bank entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty.  This agreement was solely undertaken as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk, specifically of the risk of changes in cash flows on interest payments associated with a stream of variable-rate, short-term borrowings for a corresponding amount that are attributable to changes in the future financing rates of each rolling maturity.  We estimate the fair value of this agreement based on inputs from a third-party pricing model, which incorporates such factors as the Treasury curve, the secured overnight financial rate (“SOFR”), and the pay rate on the interest rate swaps.  The fair value of this derivative instrument is based on a discounted cash flow approach.  The observable nature of the inputs used in deriving its fair value results in a Level 2 classification.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the hedge was ($2.9) million and is classified as derivative liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

Derivative Instruments (Interest Rate Swap).  On January 29, 2025, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an institutional counterparty to hedge the interest rate risk to earnings associated with fair value changes in the valuation allowance of loans held for sale. The hedging instrument is a pay-fixed, receive-variable amortizing interest rate swap agreement with an original notional amount of $1.0 billion.  In the second quarter of 2025, the Company partially terminated $625 million notional amount in conjunction with the sale of $858 million principal balance of multifamily loans held for sale, resulting in $375 million notional amount remaining.  We estimate the fair value of this agreement based on inputs from a third-party pricing model, which incorporates such factors as the Treasury curve, the secured overnight financial rate (“SOFR”), and the pay rate on the interest rate swaps. The fair value of this derivative instrument is based on a discounted cash flow approach. The observable nature of the inputs used in deriving its fair value results in a Level 2 classification.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the hedge was ($5.8) million and is classified as derivative liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.  

Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits is defined as the amounts payable on demand resulting in a Level 1 classification. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is the carrying value of overnight FHLB advances and federal funds purchased that approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments, resulting in a Level 2

classification. The fair value of borrowings in the form of FHLB putable advances also approximates carrying value and are classified as Level 2 instruments.  

Subordinated debt.  The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued Interest Payable.  The fair value of accrued interest payable on deposits, borrowings, and subordinated debt approximates its carrying value.

As of June 30, 2025, the tables above include $392.0 million in agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral to the state of Florida to meet regulatory requirements; $1.9 million in U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral to various states to meet regulatory requirements related to the Bank’s trust operations; $259.0 million of agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral as support for the Bank’s obligations under loan sales and securitization agreements entered into from 2018 and 2021; and $73.6 million in securities consisting of SBA securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements obtained from a prior bank acquisition. A total of $1.1 billion in SBA and agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate and municipal bonds are pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window from which the Bank may borrow.

As of December 31, 2024, the tables above include $325.7 million in agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral to the state of Florida to meet regulatory requirements; $1.3 million in U.S. Treasury securities pledged as collateral to various states to meet regulatory requirements related to the Bank’s trust operations; $256.5 million of agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral as support for the Bank’s obligations under loan sales and securitization agreements entered into from 2018 and 2021; and $77.3 million in securities consisting of SBA securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and agency mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements obtained from a prior bank acquisition. A total of $916.8 million in SBA and agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate and municipal bonds are pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window from which the Bank may borrow.

We monitor the credit quality of these securities by evaluating various quantitative attributes. The credit quality indicators the Company monitors include, but are not limited to, credit ratings of individual securities and the credit rating of United States government-sponsored enterprises that guarantee the securities. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security. Securities rated investment grade, as defined by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk.  As of June 30, 2025, all of the Company’s securities were either investment grade or were issued by a U.S. government agency or government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) with an investment grade rating, with the exception of two corporate bonds having a combined market value of $32.0 million and one agency commercial mortgage-backed security with a marked value of $841 thousand which were below investment grade.

The tables below indicate the gross unrealized losses and fair values of our securities AFS portfolio, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

Unrealized losses in the securities AFS portfolio have not been recognized into income because the securities are either of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell, it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, or the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in discount rates and assumptions regarding future interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

During the six-month periods ending June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision (reversal) for credit losses of ($122) thousand and ($878) thousand, respectively.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an interest-only strip security was written down to its fair value resulting in a charge-off of $3.4 million to the provision. There were no charge-offs recorded for the year-ago quarter or six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

On a quarterly basis, the Company engages with an independent third party to perform an analysis of expected credit losses for its municipal and corporate bond securities in order to supplement our own internal review. As of June 30, 2025, the analysis concluded and the Company concurred that fourteen corporate bonds were impacted by credit loss, for which $106 thousand was recorded as reversal of provision to the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) related to available-for-sale securities and that no municipal bond securities were impacted by credit loss. The ACL related to available-for-sale securities totaled $651 thousand and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company provides modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, which may include interest rate reduction, term extensions, principal forgiveness, other-than-insignificant payment delays, or a combination of any of these items. A loan modification or refinancing results in a new loan if the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms with customers with similar collection risks that are not refinancing or restructuring their loans and the modification to the terms of the loan are more than minor. If a loan modification or refinancing does not result in a new loan, it is classified as a loan modification.  

The following table presents our loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively with related amortized cost balances, respective percentage share of the total class of loans, and the related financial effect:

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES  
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

NOTE 5: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company accounts for ACL related to loans held for investment in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the Company to record an estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for loans at the time of origination.  The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet.  

The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively pooling and evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The quantitative CECL model estimates credit losses by applying pool-specific probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) rates to the expected exposure at default ("EAD") over the contractual life of the loans.  A significant portion of the ACL is calculated and measured on a collective pool basis, representing $7.4 billion or approximately 98.1% of the total blended loans held for investment portfolio as of June 30, 2025.  Pooled loan segments consisted of multifamily, commercial, single-family, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction loans.  The remaining portion of the loan portfolio, representing $121 million or approximately 1.6% of the total blended loan portfolio, consisted of small homogeneous loan portfolios which has its quantitative reserve calculated separately based on historical loss factors for the respective portfolios or, if no historical loss is available, based on peer group historical losses.  These loan portfolios include equipment finance, land, consumer and commercial small balance loans.  In addition, collateral dependent loans totaling $26.2 million or approximately 0.3% of the total blended portfolio are separately valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  

As of December 31, 2024, the ACL was calculated and measured on a collective pool basis, representing $7.8 billion or approximately 97.6% of the total blended loans held for investment portfolio. Pooled loan segments consisted of multifamily, commercial, single-family, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction loans. The remaining portion of the loan portfolio, representing $164.7 million or 2.1% of the total blended loan portfolio, consisted of small homogeneous loan portfolios which has its quantitative reserve calculated separately based on historical loss factors for the respective portfolios or, if no historical loss is available, based upon peer group historical losses. These loan portfolios include equipment finance, land, consumer and commercial small balance loans. In addition, collateral dependent loans totaling $27.0 million or 0.3% of the total blended portfolio were separately valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.

The measurement also incorporates qualitative components such as internal and external risk factors that may not be adequately assessed in the quantitative model.  Qualitative adjustments primarily relate to segments of the loan portfolio deemed by management to be of a higher-risk profile or other factors where management believes the quantitative component of the ACL model may not be fully reflective of levels deemed adequate in the judgment of management.  Qualitative adjustments may also relate to uncertainty as to future macroeconomic conditions and the related impact on certain loan segments.  Management reviews the need for an appropriate level of quantitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.  Management applies a two-year time horizon in its ACL model at which there is a gradual reversion back to historical loss experience over a two year period.

For purposes of calculating the ACL, the Company has elected to include deferred loan fees and expenses in the loan balance and exclude accrued interest from loan balances.

The following is a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses related to loans held for investment for the following periods:

The Company maintained an allowance for unfunded loan commitments totaling $1.7 million and $1.3 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities.  The allowance is calculated based mostly on loss rates for the type of loan/collateral in which the loan commitment relates with a drawdown probability applied to the available credit balance based on utilization rates for the prior year.

The Company’s primary regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for credit losses and such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on information and factors available to them at the time of their examinations.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company will not recognize additional provisions for credit losses with respect to the loan portfolio.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.  Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually to determine expected credit losses and any ACL allocation is determined based upon the amount by which amortized costs exceed the estimated fair value of the collateral, adjusted for estimated selling costs (if applicable).  The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans and the related ACL allocated to these loans as of the dates indicated:

Credit Risk Management

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as loans secured by multifamily or commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as pass are strong credits with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions above and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

The following tables present risk categories of loans held for investment based on year of origination, and includes gross charge-offs in accordance with ASU 2022-02 as of the dates presented:

NOTE 6: CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES

Core deposit intangibles are intangible assets having definite useful lives arising from whole bank acquisitions.  Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 7 to 10 years.  At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, core deposit intangible assets totaled $2.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and we recognized $611 thousand and $756 thousand in core deposit intangible amortization expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On February 1, 2024, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an institutional counterparty to hedge against our exposure to changes in interest rates as part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy.  On the date the agreement was entered into, the derivative was designated as a cash flow hedge, as it was undertaken to manage the risk of changes in cash flows on interest payments associated with a stream of variable-rate, short-term borrowings for a corresponding amount that are attributable to changes in the future financing rates of each rolling maturity.  At inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter, an assessment is performed to determine the effectiveness of the derivative at reducing the risk associated with the hedged exposure.  A cash flow hedge designated as highly effective is carried at fair value on the balance sheet with the portion of change in fair value of the cash flow hedge considered highly effective recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  If the cash flow hedge becomes ineffective, the portion of the change in fair value of the cash flow hedge considered ineffective is reclassified from AOCI to earnings.  

The hedging instrument is a pay-fixed, receive variable interest rate swap agreement having a beginning notional amount of $450 million.  The Bank pays quarterly interest at a fixed-rate of 3.583% and receives quarterly interest payments calculated at the Daily Simple SOFR over the same period.  The original term of the agreement is five years, expiring on February 1, 2029.  On March 28, 2024, the original hedge position notional amount was reduced by $100 million, and a corresponding amount of the hedged item was simultaneously de-designated, resulting in the recording of a gain of $1.7 million, classified as capital markets activities on the accompanying statements of operations.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the cash flow hedge was ($2.9) million and is classified as derivative liabilities with a corresponding amount classified as a component of AOCI on the accompanying balance sheet.  At December 31, 2024, the fair value of the cash flow hedge was $5.1 million and is classified as derivative assets with a corresponding amount classified as a component of AOCI on the accompanying balance sheet.

On January 29, 2025, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an institutional counterparty to hedge the interest rate risk to earnings associated with the fair value changes in the valuation allowance of loans held for sale.  The hedging instrument is a pay-fixed, receive-variable amortizing interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.0 billion.  In the second quarter of 2025, the Company partially terminated $625 million notional amount in conjunction with the sale of $858 million principal balance of multifamily loans held for sale, resulting in $375 million notional amount remaining and recognition of a $7.1 million realized loss on partial termination, which is included as a component of capital markets activity on the consolidated statements of operations.  The Bank pays quarterly interest at a fixed-rate of 4.03% and receives quarterly interest payments calculated at the Daily Simple SOFR over the same period.  The term of the agreement is four years, expiring on January 29, 2029.  Since the fair value changes of the valuation allowance for loans held for sale already flow through earnings, the Bank has elected to not designate the hedge for hedge accounting to ensure that changes in the derivative’s value are reported in current earnings each period.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the hedge was ($5.8) million and is classified as derivative liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTE 10: BORROWINGS

The Bank has established secured and unsecured lines of credit under which it may borrow funds from time to time on a term or overnight basis from the FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”), and other institutions.  At June, 2025, our borrowings consisted of $1.0 billion in FHLB putable advances at the Bank, $650 million of FHLB term advances at the Bank, and $19 million in repurchase agreements at the Bank.  At December 31, 2024, our borrowings consisted of $1.0 billion in FHLB putable advances at the Bank, $400 million of FHLB term advances at the Bank, and $25 million in repurchase agreements at the Bank.

FHLB Advances

The FHLB putable advances outstanding at June 30, 2025 had a weighted average remaining life of 5.75 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.74%. The putable advances can be called quarterly until maturity at the option of the FHLB at various put dates. $300 million attained its first quarterly put date in March 2025 and $700 million attained its first quarterly put date in June 2025, for which none of the puts were exercised.

The FHLB term advances outstanding at June 30, 2025 consist of the following:

$250 million in a one-month fixed-rate advance maturing on July 7, 2025 at an interest rate of 4.55%.

$300 million in a three-year fixed-rate advance maturing on May 28, 2027 at an interest rate of 4.95%.

$100 million in a five-year fixed-rate advance maturing on June 28, 2028 at an interest rate of 4.21%.

FHLB advances are collateralized primarily by loans secured by single-family, multifamily, and commercial real estate properties with a market value of $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2025.  The Bank’s total unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB as of June 30, 2025 was $612 million.  As of June 30, 2025, the Bank had in place $126 million in letters of credit from the FHLB, $116 million of which is used as collateral for the 2025 and 2024 multifamily loan sale/securitizations, and $10 million of which is used as collateral for public fund deposits.

The Bank’s total unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB at December 31, 2024 was $1.7 billion. The Bank had in place $69 million in letters of credit from the FHLB, $59 million of which is used as collateral for the 2024 multifamily loan sale/securitization, and $10 million of which is used as collateral for public fund deposits.  

Federal Reserve Bank Borrowings

Holding Company Line of Credit:

FFI has entered into a loan agreement with an unaffiliated lender that provides for a revolving line of credit for up to $20 million maturing in June 2026. The loan bears an interest rate of Prime rate, plus 50 basis points (0.50%). FFI’s obligations under the loan agreement are secured by, among other things, a pledge of all of its equity in the Bank. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no balances outstanding under this agreement.

Repurchase Agreements:

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.8 million which generated an effective tax rate of 82.8%.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.3 million and had an effective tax rate of -52.3%.  The changes in the effective tax rate were predominately due to the changes in pretax income, as well as the impact of tax-exempt interest income and tax benefits associated with low-income housing tax credit investments. The effective tax rates differ from the combined federal and state statutory rates for the Company of 27.8% and 28.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 respectively due primarily to various permanent tax differences, including tax-exempt income, tax credits from low-income housing tax credit investments, and other items that impact our effective tax rate.

The Company accounts for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company has experienced cumulative losses over the past three years, primarily due to

the significant increase in market rates experienced since 2022 and the mark-to-market adjustment related to the transfer of approximately $1.9 billion of multifamily loans from loans held for investment to loans held for sale in the third quarter of 2024. However, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as it has implemented a tax planning strategy that is expected to generate sufficient taxable income to realize these assets. This strategy includes dispositioning the aforementioned multifamily loans transferred to loans held for sale. Removing these relatively low-yielding assets from the balance sheet will improve profitability, either through the reduction of high-cost funding or reinvestment of proceeds into higher-yielding assets. Management has evaluated the feasibility of this strategy under current tax laws and considers it both prudent and objectively verifiable. The Company will continue to monitor its performance and reassess the need for a valuation allowance if necessary.

Deferred tax assets totaled $87.0 million and $76.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 13: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

FFI is a holding company and does not have any direct operating activities. Any future cash flow needs of FFI are expected to be met by its existing cash and cash equivalents and dividends from its subsidiaries. The Bank is subject to various laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends that a bank can pay without obtaining prior approval from bank regulators. Additionally, under the terms of the holding company line of credit agreement, FFI may only declare and pay a dividend if the total amount of dividends and stock repurchases does not exceed 50% of FFI’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the current twelve-month period.  FFI’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On July 8, 2024, the Company raised approximately $228 million of gross proceeds in an equity capital raise (“July 2024 Capital Raise”) with certain investors. In the July 2024 Capital Raise, the Company sold and issued to the investors: (a) 11,308,676 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $4.10 (on July 1, 2024, the day before the announcement of the July 2024 Capital Raise, the closing price of the common stock was $6.47); (b) 29,811 shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company designated as Series A Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $4,100, and each share of which is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock, and all of which shares of Series A Preferred Stock represent the right (on an as converted basis) to receive approximately 29,811,000 shares of common stock; (c) 14,490 shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company designated as Series B Noncumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $4,100, each share of which is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock, and all of which shares of Series B Preferred Stock represent the right (on an as converted basis) to receive approximately 14,490,000 shares of common stock; and (d) Issued Warrants, affording the holder thereof the right, until the seven-year anniversary of the issuance of such Issued Warrant, to purchase for $5,125 per share, 22,239 shares of Series C non-voting, common-equivalent preferred stock (the “Series C NVCE Stock”). Each share of Series C NVCE Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock, all of which shares of Series C NVCE Stock, upon issuance, will represent the right (on an as converted basis) to receive approximately 22,239,000 shares of common stock. The investors were subject to a 180-day lock-up period with respect to the securities purchased. Net proceeds from the July 2024 Capital Raise of $214.5 million, consisting of the $228 million gross proceeds less issuance costs of $13.5 million, were allocated amongst the newly issued equity instruments under the relative fair value method. Under the relative fair value method, each equity instrument was allocated a portion of the net proceeds based on the proportion of its fair value to the sum of the fair values of all of the equity instruments covered in the allocation.  

On September 30, 2024, stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares and also approved the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the July 2024 Capital Raise pursuant to NYSE listing rules. As a result of these approvals, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of common stock as of the close of business on October 2, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, the quarterly non-

cumulative cash dividend (annual rate of 13%) and liquidation preference rights of the Series A Preferred Stock ceased to apply. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock (a) are now entitled to receive dividends at the same time and on the same terms as shares of common stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, and (b) rank as equal to shares of common stock in any liquidation of the Company. Furthermore, the Company will not be required to issue any cash-settled warrants to the investors who participated in the July 2024 Capital Raise. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no declared dividends outstanding with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock that would then share in earnings. As part of the aforementioned July 2024 Capital Raise, the Company issued warrants (See Note 13: Shareholders’ Equity) which are considered for potential dilution. In addition to the warrants, other contingent shares issuable include restricted stock units issued by the Company under its equity incentive plans.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, the average common share price was below the $5.125 per share exercise price (on an as-converted basis) of the warrants.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the average common share price was above the $5.125 per share exercise price (on an as-converted basis) of the warrants.  As the average common share price was above the $5.125 per share exercise price (on an as-converted basis) of the warrants for the six-month period June 30, 2025, the warrants would have been included in the dilutive share count and diluted earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, if the Company had positive earnings for the period.  In addition, 8,825 and 11,696 in restricted stock units are included in diluted shares for the three-month and six-month periods ended of June 30, 2024, respectively.  

There were no stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 15: SEGMENT REPORTING

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had two reportable business segments: Banking (FFB) and Wealth Management (FFA). The results of FFI and any elimination entries are included in the column labeled Other. The reportable segments are determined by products and services offered and the corporate structure.  Business segment earnings before taxes are the primary measure of the segment’s performance as evaluated by management.  Business segment earnings before taxes include direct revenue and expenses of the segment as well as corporate and inter-company cost allocations.  Allocations of corporate expenses, such as finance and accounting, data processing and human resources are calculated based on estimated activity or usage levels.  The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on the Company’s management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial services companies.  If the management structures and/or the allocation process changes, allocations, transfers, and assignments may change.  

In accordance with ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”,  the significant expenses shown in the tables below are those that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) who regularly uses them, along with other information in assessing the segments’ performance and in decisions regarding the allocation of resources.  With respect to ASU 2023-07, the CODM for the Company is the

Chief Executive Officer.  The following tables show key operating results for each of our business segments used to arrive at our consolidated totals for the following periods:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Principles of Consolidation

First Foundation Inc. (“FFI”) is a financial services holding company whose operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries:  First Foundation Advisors (“FFA”) and First Foundation Bank (“FFB” or the “Bank”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of FFB, First Foundation Public Finance (“FFPF”), First Foundation Insurance Services (“FFIS”) and Blue Moon Management, LLC (collectively the “Company”).  FFI also has two inactive wholly owned subsidiaries, First Foundation Consulting and First Foundation Advisors, LLC.  FFI is incorporated in the state of Delaware.  The corporate headquarters for FFI is located in Irving, Texas.  The Company provides a comprehensive platform of financial services to individuals, businesses and other organizations and has offices in California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, and Hawaii.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial reporting presentation.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the 2025 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.  These financial statements assume that readers have read the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.  The FASB issued this Update to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments to this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.  The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Schedule of the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans and the related ACL allocated to these loans

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.  Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually to determine expected credit losses and any ACL allocation is determined based upon the amount by which amortized costs exceed the estimated fair value of the collateral, adjusted for estimated selling costs (if applicable).  The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans and the related ACL allocated to these loans as of the dates indicated:
