EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Old National is the fifth largest commercial bank headquartered in the Midwest by asset size and ranks among the top 25 banking companies headquartered in the United States with consolidated assets of $74.2 billion at June 30, 2026. The Company’s corporate headquarters and principal executive office are located in Evansville, Indiana. Through our wholly owned banking subsidiary and non-bank affiliates, we provide a wide range of services primarily throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States. In addition to providing extensive services in consumer and commercial banking, Old National offers comprehensive wealth management and capital markets services.

Net income applicable to common shares for the second quarter of 2026 was $249.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share, compared to $229.6 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026.

Results for the second quarter of 2026 were impacted by $12.1 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses and a $13.2 million pre-tax gain associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan. Results for the first quarter of 2026 were impacted by $7.3 million of merger-related expenses and a $3.4 million non-cash, pre-tax expense associated with the distribution of excess pension plan assets with the resolution of the legacy First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (“First Midwest”) plan. Excluding these items, net income applicable to common shares for the second quarter of 2026 was $250.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share on an adjusted basis1, compared to $237.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share on an adjusted basis1, for the first quarter of 2026.

Our results for the second quarter of 2026 reflect solid growth in total loans and deposits, disciplined expense management, and strong credit quality and capital.

Deposits:  Period-end total deposits increased $474.3 million, or 3% annualized, to $56.1 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to March 31, 2026.

Loans:  Our loan balances, excluding loans held-for-sale, increased $1.0 billion, or 8% annualized, to $50.8 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to March 31, 2026 reflecting strong commercial loan production.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $6.4 million to $579.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2026 driven by high quality loan growth and stable core deposit pricing, partly offset by funding mix.

Provision for Credit Losses:  Provision for credit losses was $36.2 million compared to $34.9 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Noninterest Income:  Noninterest income was $153.6 million, or $140.4 million excluding a $13.2 million pre-tax gain associated with the settlement of the Bremer pension plan, compared to $122.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase reflects strong increases in all fee income lines as well as elevated other income due to market value adjustments, higher company-owned life insurance income, and an asset recovery.

Noninterest Expense:  Noninterest expense increased $7.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, noninterest expense included $12.1 million of merger-related expenses. In the first quarter of 2026, noninterest expense included $7.3 million of merger-related expenses and a $3.4 million non-cash, pre-tax expense associated with the distribution of excess pension assets with the resolution of the legacy First Midwest plan. Excluding these expenses, noninterest expense was $360.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $6.1 million from $354.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 reflecting disciplined expense management.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, comprising 81% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of earning assets, funding sources, and interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include the level of accretion income on purchased loans, prepayment risk on mortgage and investment-related assets, and the composition and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The Federal Reserve held its interest rates steady during the second quarter of 2026 and decreased interest rates compared to those in effect as of June 30, 2025. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds Rate is currently in a target range of 3.50% to 3.75%, with the Effective Federal Funds Rate of 3.63% at June 30, 2026 compared to 4.33% at June 30, 2025. Management actively takes balance sheet restructuring, derivative, and deposit pricing actions to help mitigate interest rate risk. See the section of this Item 7 titled “Market Risk” for additional information regarding this risk.

Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from client deposits generally costs less than wholesale funding sources. Factors such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and price volatility of competing alternative investments can also exert significant influence on our ability to optimize our mix of assets and funding, net interest income, and net interest margin.

Net interest income is the excess of interest received from interest-earning assets over interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For analytical purposes, net interest income is presented in the table that follows, adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis to reflect what our tax-exempt assets would need to yield in order to achieve the same after-tax yield as a taxable asset. We used the current federal statutory tax rate in effect of 21% for all periods. This analysis portrays the income tax benefits related to tax-exempt assets and helps to facilitate a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes for both management and investors.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Old National is the sixth largest commercial bank headquartered in the Midwest by asset size and ranks among the top 25 banking companies headquartered in the United States. The Company’s corporate headquarters and principal executive office are located in Evansville, Indiana with commercial and consumer banking operations headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Through our wholly owned banking subsidiary and non-bank affiliates, we provide a wide range of services primarily throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States. In addition to providing extensive services in consumer and commercial banking, Old National offers comprehensive wealth management and capital markets services.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS IN 2025

Old National’s 2025 results were driven by the completion and successful integration of Bremer and a focus on fundamentals—core deposit growth to support loan expansion, positive operating leverage, disciplined credit management, and healthy liquidity and capital ratios. We once again showed our unwavering commitment to shareholders, clients, team members, and communities. Our peer-leading deposit franchise, disciplined loan growth, strong credit quality, well-managed expenses, and dedicated team members who are committed to our clients and communities enabled us to exceed our expectations that we set as we began 2025. Highlights experienced in 2025 included:

•completion of our Bremer partnership on May 1, 2025, solidifying our position as a premier mid-size bank;

•net income applicable to common shareholders of $653.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted common share;

•peer-leading, low-cost deposit franchise; loan to deposit ratio of 89%;

•growth in total deposits of 35%, 5% excluding Bremer;

•disciplined loan growth of 34%, 5% excluding Bremer;

•disciplined expense management with an efficiency ratio of 55.10%;

•stable credit metrics, including net charge-offs to average loans of 0.25%; and

•tangible book value per share growth of 15%.

36

Results for 2025 were impacted by $140.9 million of merger-related expenses, $75.6 million of CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense related to the allowance for credit losses established on acquired non-PCD loans, a $5.1 million net gain associated with the freezing of the benefits of the Bremer pension plan and subsequent termination of the plan, and a $3.0 million reduction to previously accrued FDIC special assessment. Excluding these items, net income applicable to common shares for 2025 was $808.6 million, or $2.21 per diluted common share on an adjusted basis. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.

Our net interest income increased 34% to $2.1 billion during 2025, driven by loans and securities acquired in the Bremer transaction as well as strong loan growth and lower costs of average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by higher balances of average interest-bearing liabilities. Provision for credit losses increased compared to 2024, reflective of provision expense associated with the Bremer acquisition as well as credit migration, higher net charge-offs, and macroeconomic factors. Noninterest income increased from $354.7 million in 2024 to $466.5 million in 2025 primarily due to the impact of the Bremer acquisition, higher mortgage banking revenue, capital markets income, and other income. Noninterest expense increased $390.9 million in 2025 compared to 2024. Noninterest expense in 2025 included $140.9 million of merger-related expenses and a $3.0 million reduction to previously accrued FDIC special assessment. Noninterest expense in 2024 included $37.3 million of merger-related expenses, a $13.3 million non-cash, pre-tax expense associated with the distribution of excess pension assets with the resolution of the legacy First Midwest plan, $3.0 million for an FDIC special assessment, and $2.6 million of separation expense. Excluding these expenses, noninterest expense in 2025 increased $309.3 million, driven by operating costs and additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisitions of Bremer and CapStar, as well as higher salary and employee benefits reflective of merit and performance-driven incentive accruals.

On May 1, 2025, Old National completed its acquisition of Bremer, and its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Bremer Bank, National Association. The majority of system conversions related to the Bremer transaction were completed in mid-October 2025. The successful execution of this conversion reinforced the strength of our disciplined integration framework and enhanced our operating platform across the expanded footprint.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Driving tangible book value per share growth remains a key priority in 2026 as we build on the 15% growth achieved in 2025 despite the impact of closing our Bremer partnership, the associated merger-related charges, and the repurchase of 2.2 million shares in the second half of the year. We closed 2025 with 5% loan growth excluding our Bremer partnership and move into 2026 with a strong commercial pipeline and a loan-to-deposit ratio of 89%, providing sufficient liquidity to fund growth. We will remain on offense and rely on our ability to navigate changes in short-term interest rates, shifts in the yield curve, and overall economic conditions as we have for the past 190 years.

Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on disciplined organic growth, prudent capital deployment, and continued investment in talent, technology, and client‑facing capabilities. Our proven ability to execute on these strategic priorities will support sustainable performance, maintain strong credit quality, and position the Company for long‑term value creation across economic cycles for our shareholders and communities.
