REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Plan Participants and Employee Benefits and

Compensation Committee of the

Board of Directors of

Westamerica Bancorporation

San Rafael, California

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred Savings/Retirement Plan (ESOP) (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information

The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2025 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred Savings/Retirement Plan (ESOP) financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information presented in the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including the form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedule is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS/RETIREMENT PLAN (ESOP)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025 and 2024

1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Westamerica Bancorporation Tax Deferred Savings/Retirement Plan (ESOP) (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description and Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees of Westamerica Bancorporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The Plan, which became effective October 1, 1985, is intended to be a qualified stock bonus plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is designated as an employee stock ownership plan or ESOP. Portions of the Plan are also intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of section 401(k) of the IRC. The Plan also provides for Roth elective contributions.

The Employee Benefits and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") delegates the administration of the Plan to the Company's Pension Management Committee. The Committee has the responsibility for the general operation of the Plan, including the resolution of any questions arising under the Plan agreement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Investments in the Plan are participant directed with the exception of employer contributions which are invested in shares of the Company's common stock at the time of contribution. Subsequent to investment in the Company's common stock, participants may direct employer matching contributions among all investment options. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (Vanguard) serves as trustee of the Plan.

Eligibility

All employees of the Company who are compensated on an hourly or salaried basis are eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the payroll period (Entry Date) coinciding with or following the date the employee completes 90 consecutive days of service with the Company or completes 1,000 service hours in a 12-month consecutive period.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their salary-deferral contributions and the Company's matching contributions, plus actual earnings and losses thereon. Participants become 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% vested in the Company’s discretionary contributions after completing, two, three, four, five and six Years of Service, respectively. The Company has made no discretionary contributions to the plan since its inception.

TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS/RETIREMENT PLAN (ESOP)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025 and 2024

1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued)

Contributions

Each year, participants may elect to make salary deferral contributions in any whole percentage of eligible compensation subject to certain IRC limitations. Participants may elect whether their salary deferral contributions are characterized as pre-tax or after-tax (“Roth”) contributions.

The Company makes a matching contribution equal to 100 percent of the participant's elective contribution, up to a maximum of 6 percent of the participant's compensation. Additional amounts may be contributed at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified accounts, defined benefit or defined contribution plans. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made no discretionary contributions. Company contributions are subject to certain IRC limitations.

Participant Accounts

Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, allocation of the Company's matching and discretionary contributions, allocation of Plan earnings, and charged with benefit payments, allocations of Plan losses and administrative expenses.

Employer matching contributions are allocated to participants based on the participant's elective contribution. Employer discretionary contributions are allocated to the account of each participant in ratio of the participant's eligible compensation to the total eligible compensation for all Plan participants.

Participants' Investment Options

Participants direct participant contributions to be invested, in whole or in part, in any of the investment funds offered by the Plan. The funds offered by the Plan allow participants to broadly-diversify by offering a range of investment fund options, including balanced, equity and fixed income funds. Among the investment funds offered are the Westamerica Bancorporation Common Stock Fund and target-date retirement funds.

Target-date retirement funds are the qualified default investment fund and use an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire in or within a few years of the year in the fund's name and grow gradually more conservative over a predetermined schedule.

Company matching contributions are invested in the Westamerica Common Stock Fund in accordance with the Plan Document. Participants may redirect Company matching contributions from the Westamerica Common Stock Fund to other investment options at their discretion and without limitation.

Participants may change their investment options at any time directly through Vanguard.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025 and 2024

1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued)

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of 50 percent of their vested account balance or $50,000. Participants are limited to one loan outstanding at any time. For the purposes of this limit, all qualified plans of the Company shall be considered one plan. Participant loans are funded by selling investments in the borrowing participant's accounts and bear fixed interest rates determined using market rates prevailing at the time the funds are borrowed. Participant loans are subject to a one-time origination fee and annual maintenance fee. The origination fee is included in the loan balance. Participant loans are made for a term not to exceed 5 years. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions and invested in the borrowing participant's accounts in accordance with their investment directions.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service for any reason, a participant may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the value in his or her account. Distributions for the value of a participant's account invested in the Westamerica Common Stock Fund stock are made in the form of the Company's common stock plus cash for any fractional shares or, if a participant elects, in cash, as provided by the Plan document. Participants may also receive in-service distributions on account of hardship or after attaining age 59 ½.

Cash dividends paid on Westamerica Bancorporation common stock allocated to participant accounts may be paid to participants in cash or be credited to the participant's account as earnings, which are reinvested in additional shares of Westamerica Bancorporation common stock. If the value of a separated participant's benefit is not more than $1,000, the benefit shall be automatically paid in a single lump sum in cash or, if elected, directly to an eligible retirement plan. Benefits payable to separated participants for amounts greater than $1,000 may be made in cash or other form of distribution, as defined by the Plan. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no benefits payable to participants that had elected to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid.

Voting Rights

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the Westamerica Bancorporation common stock shares allocated to their account and is notified by the trustee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised. The trustee is permitted to vote any unallocated shares and allocated shares for which instructions have not been given by a participant or beneficiary, in direct proportion to the shares with respect to which it has received timely voting instructions from participants or beneficiaries.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025 and 2024

1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued)

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Administrative and Investment Management Expenses

The Company provides bookkeeping and other administrative services for the Plan at no charge. The Company pays the Plan's annual account maintenance fees for participants actively employed by the Company and other administrative expenses. Administrative expenses reflected in the financial statements are comprised of annual loan maintenance fees for active employees and recordkeeping and information management fees for participants who are no longer employed by the Company (inactive) that maintain Plan account balances. The administrative expenses were included as reductions to the respective participants’ account balances. Investment management fees are charged to the Plan as a reduction of investment return and included in the investment income reported by the Plan.

2.	SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Plan's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. It is at least reasonably possible that a significant change may occur in the near term in the estimated fair value of the Plan's investments.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 4 for additional discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends and capital gains distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation in fair value of investments includes net unrealized market appreciation of investments and net realized gains and losses on the sale of investments during the period.

2.	SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition (Continued)

Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan’s investments in shares of registered investment companies (mutual funds) are deducted from mutual fund income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Trustee fees charged to the Westamerica Bancorporation Common Stock Fund are deducted from income earned on the Westamerica Common Stock Fund. Consequently, management fees, operating expenses and trustee fees are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

The Westamerica Bancorporation Common Stock Fund is invested in the Company’s common stock and temporary interest-bearing money market funds. The money market fund component at December 31, 2025 and 2024, was insignificant and is not separately reflected. As such, disclosures reflect whole shares of Westamerica Bancorporation common stock.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Subsequent Events

Plan management has evaluated events occurring after December 31, 2025 and has concluded that there are no events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

3.	INVESTMENT IN WESTAMERICA BANCORPORATION COMMON STOCK

The Plan's investments at December 31, 2025 and 2024 in Westamerica Bancorporation common stock are as follows:

	2025		2024

Number of shares		282,987		289,057

Cost	$	13,113,933	$	13,364,031

Fair value	$	13,535,278	$	15,163,919

Concentrations of Investments

The Westamerica Common Stock Fund represents 20% and 24% of total investments of the Plan at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A significant decline in the market value of the Company's stock would have a materially adverse effect on the Plan's net assets available for benefits.

4.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the estimated price that would be received by the Plan for an asset or paid by the Plan to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in the Plan's principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are determined by maximizing the use of available observable inputs and minimizing the use of available unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

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 Plan's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

In some cases, a valuation technique used to estimate fair value may include inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

4.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Assets Recorded at Fair Value

There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during 2025 and 2024. The following tables present information about the Plan's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Plan is required to record the following assets at fair value on a recurring basis under other accounting pronouncements:

	December 31, 2025

Description	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Common stock of Plan Sponsor	$	13,535,278	$	13,535,278	$	-	$	-
Mutual funds		52,292,136		52,292,136		-		-
	$	65,827,414	$	65,827,414	$	-	$	-

	December 31, 2024

Description	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Common stock of Plan Sponsor	$	15,163,919	$	15,163,919	$	-	$	-
Mutual funds		48,384,682		48,384,682		-		-
	$	63,548,601	$	63,548,601	$	-	$	-

Fair value of the common stock of the Plan Sponsor is based on the closing quoted market price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Such securities are actively traded throughout each market trading day on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (Level 1 inputs).

Mutual funds are valued using the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the trustee of the fund. The NAV is computed by dividing the value of the underlying assets, minus liabilities, allocated to each share class by the number of fund shares outstanding for that class. Mutual fund NAVs are calculated once each market trading day as of the close of regular market trading (Level 1 inputs). The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is active.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025 and 2024.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including the common stock of the Company and mutual funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, liquidity, currency, overall market volatility and risks of global events. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, changes in the values of investment securities may occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the participants’ account balance and amounts reported in the financial statements.

5.	FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan Sponsor adopted a Prototype Non-Standardized Pre-Approved Profit Sharing Plan/CODA/ESOP (“Prototype Plan”). The adoption of the Prototype Plan became effective January 1, 2022. The Prototype Plan received an IRS opinion letter dated June 30, 2020 stating that the Prototype Plan is acceptable under section 401 and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code for use by employers for the benefit of their employees.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan. Management evaluated the Plan's tax positions and concluded that the Plan had maintained its tax exempt status and had taken no uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements. With few exceptions, the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state, or local tax authorities for years before 2022.

6.	PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Parties in interest are defined under DOL regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering service to the Plan, the employer, and certain others. Plan investments include shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (VFTC). VFTC is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also invests in Westamerica Bancorporation common stock, as disclosed in Note 4 and received dividends on these shares of $522,599 and $511,149 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The purchases of Westamerica Bancorporation common stock were $946,096 and $830,163 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The sales of Westamerica Bancorporation common stock were $1,213,675 and $1,050,733 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Notes receivable from participants are also considered party-in-interest transactions.

Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan’s investments in shares of registered investment companies (mutual funds) are deducted from mutual fund income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Trustee fees charged to the Westamerica Common Stock Fund are deducted from income earned on the Westamerica Common Stock Fund. Consequently, management fees, operating

expenses and trustee fees are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

Fees paid by the Plan for trustee services in connection with the Westamerica Common Stock Fund for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $29,081 and $29,612 respectively.

The Company provides bookkeeping and other administrative services for the Plan at no charge to the Plan. The Company also pays recordkeeping fees, certain other administrative expenses, and certain professional fees to third-party service providers on behalf of the Plan.
