Inc | 5 Earnings Performance: 3Q26 net income decreased to $14.0 million ($1.27 per diluted share) from $17.8 million ($1.56 per diluted share) in 3Q25, primarily reflecting the impact of a $2.5 million (net of taxes) non - cash hedge accounting adjustment. Excluding the one - time adjustment, non - GAAP net income was $16.5 million ($1.50 per diluted share). Net Interest Income & Margin: Net interest income decreased by $504,000, or 1.0% year - over - year, to $50.3 million, with an annualized net interest margin of 3.75%, up from 3.72% in 3Q25. During the quarter, the Company purchased approximately $400 million of fixed - rate agency MBS and CMO securities, funded by variable - rate FHLB borrowings, to mitigate interest rate risk in falling rate scenarios and support net interest income generation. Asset Quality: Non - performing assets were $10.5 million (0.18% of total assets), representing an increase of $2.4 million from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $1.1 million compared to June 30, 2026. Our overall asset quality metrics continue to reflect our disciplined underwriting and conservative lending standards. Capital Strength: Stockholders' equity decreased by $23.6 million to $612.5 million, compared to December 31, 2025. The tangible common equity to tangible common assets ratio was 10.4% at September 30, 2026. Loan Portfolio Trends: Total net loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, decreased $108.4 million, or 2.5%, to $4.25 billion from $4.36 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in commercial real estate and other residential (multi - family) loans, partially offset by an increase in construction loans. 3Q25 2Q26 3Q26 ($000S EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) INCOME STATEMENT $50,773 $49,493 $50,269 Net Interest Income $17,752 $15,795 $14,009 Net Income $1.56 $1.43 $1.27 Earnings per Diluted Common Share 4Q25 3Q26 ($000S) BALANCE SHEET $636,126 $612,529 Total Stockholders’ Equity $4,427,678 $4,318,057 Loans Receivable, Gross $4,482,774 $4,069,964 Total Deposits 3Q25 2Q26 3Q26 ASSET QUALITY RATIOS 1.43% 1.46% 1.47% Allowance for Credit Losses to Period - End Loans 0.14% 0.17% 0.18% Non - Performing Assets to Period - End Assets 0.01% 0.07% 0.04% Annualized Net Charge - Offs (Recoveries) to Average Loans

Earnings Per Share: Earnings per diluted common share decreased to $1.27 in 3Q26 from $1.56 in 3Q25, marking an 18.6% decrease. Net Interest Income: There was a 1.0% decrease in net interest income, reaching $50.3 million in 3Q26 compared to $50.8 million in 3Q25, largely driven by the completion in October 2025 of accounting recognition of interest income accretion ($2.0 million in 3Q25) from a previously terminated interest rate swap. Non - interest Expense: Total non - interest expense increased to $36.3 million in 3Q26, an increase of $158,000 from 3Q25.

Late charges and fees on loans: $429,000, a 127.0% increase compared to $189,000 in 3Q25, due primarily to two large prepayment fees on loan repayments. Other Non - Interest Income: $944,000, up 28.3% compared to $736,000 in 3Q25, primarily driven by $116,000 in commercial loan swap origination fees.

Adjustments to historical cash flow hedge accounting: $4.1 million negative, one - time non - cash adjustment recognized in 3Q26 due to the identification of historical periods in which qualifying variable - rate loan balances were insufficient to support the full notional amount of its interest rate swaps.

 

 

All Other Non - Interest Expense Non - Interest Expense Total Non - Interest Expense: $36.3 million, a $158,000 increase from $36.1 million in 3Q25, driven by ongoing technology investments, largely offset by reduced personnel expenses. Net Occupancy and Equipment Expense: Increased to $9.3 million, representing a $428,000 year - over - year increase. This increase was driven by higher computer license and support expenses related to upgrades of core systems capabilities and our disaster recovery site, which collectively increased by $434,000 compared to 3Q25. Salaries and Employee Benefits: Decreased by $565,000 to $19.6 million compared to $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower bonus and incentive accruals, staff reductions from previously closed facilities, and a reduction in severance and retention payments. Branch & Operational Consolidations: Consolidated operations of nine banking centers into nearby locations and completed 66 position eliminations as of October 1, 2026. These actions are expected to generate $4.4 million to $4.8 million in gross annual expense savings, producing an estimated $2.3 million to $2.7 million in annual pre - tax income improvement, beginning in 4Q26. $20,184 $20,691 $19,619 $15,932 $17,531 $16,655 3Q25 2Q26 Salaries & Employee Benefits 3Q26 Non - Interest Expense Dollars In Thousands Great Southern Bancorp.

Non - GAAP Reconciliation Great Southern Bancorp. Inc | 14 This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets and information excluding one - time adjustments to historical cash flow hedge accounting, specifically, net income, earnings per diluted common share, annualized return on average common equity, annualized return on average assets and efficiency ratio. In calculating the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, we subtract period - end intangible assets from common equity and from total assets. Management believes that the presentation of this measure excluding the impact of intangible assets provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial condition and results of operations, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing a measure that excludes balances of intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that this is a standard financial measure used in the banking industry to evaluate performance. Management believes that the presentation of certain measures excluding one - time adjustments to historical cash flow hedge accounting provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our core operating performance when comparing periods. These non - GAAP financial measurements are supplemental and not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculation of non - GAAP measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
