FB Bancorp, Inc. /MD/ Commitments Disclosure
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings. These cases are, in the opinion of management, ordinary routine matters incidental to the normal business conducted by the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
The Company’s financial statements do not reflect various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit, consisting primarily of commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements, include exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Company’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded in the statements of financial condition. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. The Company was not required to perform on any financial guarantees nor did it incur any losses on its commitments for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. A reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition, and the related provision is recorded in other general expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $156 thousand and $120 thousand at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A provision of $36 thousand was made for the year ended December 31, 2025.
About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
