Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "could," or "may" and similar expressions or the negative thereof. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements included herein include, but are not limited to:

•

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;

•

competition among depository and other financial institutions, particularly intensified competition for deposits;

•

inflation and an interest rate environment that may reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

•

adverse changes in the securities markets;

•

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory structure and in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

•

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

•

our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities;

•

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

•

changes in accounting policies and practices;

•

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;

•

our ability to attract and retain key employees;

•

changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital;

•

changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own;

•

the concentration of our business in the Northern Virginia as well as the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area and the effect of changes in the economic, political and environmental conditions on this market;

•

adequacy of our allowance for credit losses;

•

deterioration of our asset quality;

•

cyber threats, attacks or events;

•

reliance on third parties for key services;

•

future performance of our loan portfolio with respect to recently originated loans;

•

additional risks related to new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services;

•

results of examination of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may require us to increase our allowance for credit losses or to write-down assets or take other supervisory action;

•

the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to remediate any future material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting;

•

liquidity, interest rate and operational risks associated with our business;

•

a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption or the unavailability of key employees;

•

volatility in the financial institution industry, including failures and/or rumors of possible failures of other financial institutions and actions by regulatory authorities in response thereto;

•

litigation or governmental actions;

•

impairment of a material asset; and

•

other factors beyond our knowledge or control.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K to reflect future events or developments. Additional information on risk factors that may affect forward-looking statements is included under "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion of the critical accounting policies and analysis set forth below is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Critical accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the current period or in future periods.

The Company's critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for credit losses. This critical accounting policy requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, future financial statements could reflect the use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain determinations inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

Allowance for Credit Losses: On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management makes every effort to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others. See Note 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements for a more detailed description of methodology and impact of adoption.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $15.6 million, an increase of $25.6 million, compared to a net loss of $10.0million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net income was due to a decrease in interest expense of $10.0million and a decrease of non-interest expenses of $18.4million compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the principal component of the Company's income stream and represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield obtained by dividing the difference between interest income generated on earning assets and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by average earning assets. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can impact net interest income and net interest margin.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses totaled $69.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $62.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net interest income was driven by a decrease in deposit interest expense discussed below, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The net interest margin was 3.46% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 3.13% for the year ended December 31, 2024, on a fully tax equivalent basis. The increase in net interest margin primarily resulted from a decrease of interest expense on our interest-bearing liabilities. The primary drivers of decreased interest expense came from cost management on demand, money market, and time deposits during 2025. Additionally, the federal funds target rate decreasing by 75 basis points in 2025 impacted our maturing wholesale deposits that repriced in a lower interest rate environment.

The yield for the year ended December 31, 2025for the loan portfolio was 6.82% compared to 7.02% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decreasing yield primarily reflects the repricing of variable rate loans at lower rates in 2025 compared to higher rates in prior years. The Federal Reserve's targeted benchmark interest rate range was 525 - 550 basis points through September 2024. The range was lowered to 425 - 450 by December 2024 and lowered again starting in September 2025 to a range of 350 - 375 by December 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the yield on the taxable investment securities portfolio was 3.26% compared to 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the yield on the tax-exempt investment securities portfolio was 3.85% compared to 3.80% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in yield on the tax-exempt investment securities was primarily due to lower yields on investment securities maturing during the period.

The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 3.92% during the year ended December 31, 2025, from 4.70% during the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was a result of lower rates paid on all outstanding deposits in conjunction with the decreasing rate environment throughout the year.

The rate paid on FHLB borrowings and federal funds purchased for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 0.00% and 4.71%, respectively, compared to the prior year of 5.61% for FHLB borrowings and 5.78% for federal funds purchased. This decrease was a result of lower rates paid on all outstanding borrowings in conjunction with the decreasing rate environment throughout the year.

Discussion of net interest income and net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading "Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related yields and rates for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses

We establish a provision for credit losses, which is charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb expected credit losses that are reasonably estimated at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit and off-balance sheet losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current and future economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay a loan and the levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or economic conditions change.

This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information becomes available. The allowance for credit losses on loans is assessed on a monthly basis and provisions are made for credit losses on loans as required in order to maintain the allowance at the required level determined by our analysis. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit is assessed quarterly and provisions are made to maintain the allowance at the required level determined by our analysis.

The provision for credit losses on loans decreased to a recovery of credit loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year which ended at a credit loss provision of $7.5 million. The provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure was a net provision of $48,000 compared to the prior year which ended with a net recovery of $0.7 million. The decrease in provision for credit losses on loans was primarily driven by less charge offs taken in 2025 compared to 2024. The recovery of credit losses for off-balance sheet exposure was driven by fluctuations in our revolving credit line utilization rates as of December 31, 2025. Loan originations decreased $21.6 million, which totaled $374.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to loan originations of $352.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Non-performing loans were $21.7 million at December 31, 2024 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, classified loans increased $26.8 million for a balance of $84.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, criticized loans increased $25.2 million to $110.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, watch list loans increased $46.1 million to $168.7 million. Management does not believe any significant loss exposure currently exists in these loans. All classified loans are considered individually evaluated and have strong collateral positions, with satisfactory loan-to-value (LTVs) ratios. Criticized loans continue to perform, are well collateralized, and show improving trends. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there was $0.9 million in charge-offs recorded and recoveries of $0.8 million were received. During the year ended December 31, 2024, there was $4.6 million in charge-offs recorded and recoveries received of $28,000.

Discussion of provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading "Provision for Credit Losses" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-Interest Income

Our primary sources of non-interest income are service charges on deposit accounts, such as interchange fees and statement fees, and income earned on bank owned life insurance. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest income:

		For the Year Ended December 31,
		2025				2024				% Change
		(In thousands)
Non-interest income
Deposit account service charges		$	2,184			$	1,996				9.42	%
Bank owned life insurance income			1,245				1,189				4.71	%
Gain on retirement of subordinated debt			273				-				100.00	%
Net loss on securities called or matured			-				(48	)			(100.00	)%
Gain on equity securities			103				-				100.00	%
Other fee income			222				115				93.04	%
Total non-interest income		$	4,027			$	3,252				23.83	%

Non-interest income increased $0.8 million, or 23.8%, to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $0.3 million gain on retirement of subordinated debt and an increase in deposit account service charges and other fee income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Bank owned life insurance income increased $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, due to the elevated rate environment throughout 2025.

Discussion of non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading "Non-Interest Income" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-Interest Expense

Generally, non-interest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The largest component of non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Non-interest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, advertising expenses and other general and administrative expenses, including FDIC assessments, communications, travel, meals, training, supplies and postage. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest expense:

		For the Year Ended December 31,
		2025				2024				% Change
		(In thousands)
Non-interest expense
Salaries and employee benefits		$	31,587			$	30,475				3.65	%

Administrative expenses			996				929				7.21	%
Computer software intangible impairment			-				19,721				(100.00	)%
Other operating expenses			5,190				5,844				(11.19	)%
Total non-interest expense		$	54,551			$	72,967				(25.24	)%

Non-interest expense decreased $18.4 million or 25.2% to $54.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily as a result of the impairment of the computer software intangible of $19.7 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $1.1 million to $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. FDIC insurance expense increased $0.8 million to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to significant deposit growth earlier in the year, as those deposits were temporary, we expect this expense to return to previous levels. Other operating expenses decreased $0.7 million from $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to expense management. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $0.2 million to $3.8million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Many of the non-interest expense categories remain consistent for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 as management continues to exercise judicious expense controls.

Discussion of non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading "Non-Interest Expense" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $7.4 million or 188.6%, to a tax expense of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from a tax benefit of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period a year earlier was driven by the return to net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 from a net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Bank had an effective tax rate of 18.2%, compared to effective benefit rate of 28.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Discussion of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7.

Comparison of Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024

Total Assets

Total assets decreased $15.4 million, or 0.7%, to $2.21 billion at December 31, 2025from $2.23 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $45.0 million in cash and cash equivalents offset by an increase of $31.3 million in net loans receivable.

Investment Securities

We use our securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, meet collateral requirements, assist in achieving Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) objectives, and meet regulatory capital and liquidity requirements. Our investment policy is established and reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. We are permitted under federal law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Government obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed securities, time deposits of federally insured institutions, subordinated debt of other financial institutions, equity securities, certain bankers' acceptances and federal funds.

Our investment objectives are to maintain high asset quality, to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of our investment policy. The Board of Directors is also responsible for implementation of the investment policy and monitoring investment performance. The Board of Directors reviews the status of the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if warranted.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent to hold such security. Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while debt securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not maintain a trading portfolio. Establishing a trading portfolio would require specific authorization by the Board of Directors.

The total investment securities portfolio, including both investment securities available-for-sale and investment securities held-to-maturity, was $71.8 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.1 million compared with December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, the investment securities portfolio includes $58.0 million of investment securities available-for-sale and $13.8 million of investment securities held-to-maturity compared to $55.7 million of investment securities available-for-sale and $16.1 million of investment securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2024.

The Company did not sell any securities within the investment portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.

For available-for-sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value, and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2025, are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment date, and do not reflect the effect of scheduled principal repayments, prepayments, or early redemptions that may occur. Adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust. The Company does invest in both taxable and non-taxable municipal securities. No material changes occurred in the non-taxable security portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Weighted average yields are a non-GAAP measure and are reported on a taxable equivalent basis using the statutory federal corporate tax rate of 21%. Weighted average yield is calculated as the tax-equivalent yield on a pro rata basis for each security based on its relative amortized cost.

Loan Portfolio

Our primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. Our loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate as well as commercial business loans and consumer loans. Our loan customers primarily consist of small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals, real estate investors, small residential builders and individuals. Our owner occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans and commercial business loans provide us with higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and are complemented by our relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. Our lending activities are principally directed to our market area consisting of the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia metropolitan areas.

Loan Portfolio Maturities and Yields.The following table summarizes the scheduled repayments of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2025. Demand loans, having no stated repayment schedule or maturity, and overdraft loans are reported as being due in one year or less. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment date and do not reflect the impact of prepayments and scheduled principal amortization.

Loans, net of unearned income, totaled $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $30.3 million from December 31, 2024. The increase in total loans was primarily driven by growth in the overall loan portfolio, with increases in commercial real estate for owner occupied and non-owner occupied segments as well as in commercial and industrial credits. Owner occupied loans had a balance of $448.5 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $372.4 million at December 31, 2024, for a net increase of $76.1 million. Non-owner occupied loans had a balance of $566.4 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $525.8 million at December 31, 2024, for a net increase of $40.6 million. Commercial and industrial loans had a balance of $107.0 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $102.4 million at December 31, 2024, for a net increase of $4.6 million.

A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans, primarily made in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and secured by real estate or other collateral in that market. Although these loans are made to a diversified pool of unrelated borrowers across numerous businesses, adverse developments in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan real estate market could have an adverse impact on this portfolio of loans and the Company's income and financial position. While our basic market area is the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the Bank has made loans outside that market area where the applicant is an existing customer, and the nature and quality of such loans was consistent with the Company's lending policies.

The Company has a limited amount of credit exposure to government contractors in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Below is a schedule that outlines the credit exposure to businesses with government contracts by structure type as of December 31, 2025. The line of credit balances consist of asset based lines of credits on billed receivables, which are receivables for work that has been completed and invoiced to the government or the prime contractor. Ongoing monitoring of the lines of credit include receiving borrowing base certificates monthly on the billed receivables amount. Since December 31, 2024, we have strengthened the monitoring of these lines of credit to fully verify the billed receivables amount each time funds are advanced. Term debt is secured by a combination of business assets and additional real estate collateral.

The federal banking Agencies issued guidance in 2006 which addresses institutions' with increased concentrations of commercial real estate (CRE) loans. The guidance does not establish specific CRE lending limits; rather, it promotes sound risk management practices and appropriate levels of capital that will enable institutions to continue to pursue CRE lending in a safe and sound manner. In developing this guidance, the Agencies recognized that different types of CRE lending present different levels of risk, and that consideration should be given to the lower risk profiles and historically superior performance of certain types of CRE, such as well-structured multifamily housing finance, when compared to others, such as speculative office space construction. As discussed under "CRE Concentration Assessments," institutions are encouraged to segment their CRE portfolios to acknowledge these distinctions for risk management purposes. The guidance focuses on those CRE loans for which the cash flow from the real estate is the primary source of repayment rather than loans to a borrower for which real estate collateral is taken as a secondary source of repayment or through an abundance of caution. Thus, for the purposes of the guidance, CRE loans include those loans with risk profiles sensitive to the condition of the general CRE market (for example, market demand, changes in capitalization rates, vacancy rates, or rents). CRE loans are land development and construction loans (including 1- to 4-family residential and commercial construction loans) and other land loans. CRE loans also include loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm nonresidential property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Excluded from the scope of this Guidance are loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

As part of their ongoing supervisory monitoring processes, the Agencies use certain criteria to identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE concentration risk. An institution that has experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, has notable exposure to a specific type of CRE, or is approaching or exceeds the following supervisory criteria may be identified for further supervisory analysis of the level and nature of its CRE concentration risk:

1.

Total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100 percent or more of the institution's total risk-based capital; or

2.

Total commercial real estate loans as defined in this guidance represent 300 percent or more of the institution's total risk-based capital, and the outstanding balance of the institution's commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50 percent or more during the prior 36 months.

The Agencies use the criteria as a preliminary step to identify institutions that may have CRE concentration risk. Because regulatory reports capture a broad range of CRE loans with varying risk characteristics, the supervisory monitoring criteria do not constitute limits on an institution's lending activity but rather serve as high-level indicators to identify institutions potentially exposed to CRE concentration risk.

The Company holds a concentration in commercial real estate loans. The Board has set a risk tolerance level of 150% and 375% of consolidated risk-based capital for construction, land development and other land loans and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2025, construction, land development and other land loans represented 97.6% of consolidated risk-based capital. Total commercial real estate loans as defined by the Agency guidance represented 354.6% of consolidated risk-based capital. During the prior 36 months, the Company has experienced an increase in its commercial real estate portfolio by 45%.

The management team has extensive experience in underwriting commercial real estate loans and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. The Board of Directors has established internal maximum limits on CRE as an asset class overall as well as sub limits within CRE by property class, to better manage and control the exposure to property classes during periods of changing economic conditions. The Board of Directors also has minimum targets for regulatory capital ratios that are in excess of well capitalized ratios.

Our risk management process begins with a robust underwriting program. The underwriting and risk rating of all loans is completed by an underwriting team that is independent of the originating lender(s). The underwriting analysis of commercial real estate loans includes pre-origination stress testing utilizing the portfolio stress testing methods to fully understand the potential exposure before we originate the credit. Once originated, each loan receives ongoing quarterly stress tests to evaluate the risk profile over the life of the credit.

We stress test earning assets using a worst-case methodology on a quarterly basis and measure the results against the Bank's risk-based capital. For commercial loans, residential real estate loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and consumer installment loans, we multiply the total outstanding amount for each loan category by our highest quarter historical loss for that category as a surrogate in order to calculate a stressed loss.

For our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, we use three separate methodologies in our stress test. If a property fails more than one of the three tests, we extend the test with the highest exposure value and add an additional 10% for selling costs.

•

An immediate and sustained 3.0% increase in interest rates,

•

An immediate and sustained 5.0% increase in vacancy rates, and

•

An immediate and sustained 2.0% change in the capitalization rate, or "cap rate."

We stress test the construction lending portfolio by applying exponential discounting (using a "k factor" of 2) to each project based upon its percentage of completion. The project is stressed using the as-is and as-complete appraised values and assumes 10% selling costs.

For all other loans, we utilize the Bank's historic loss rates or if not available, the average loss rates of UBPR Group 4 banks, for bank owned life insurance we utilize default rates from S&P Global ratings, and for securities we obtain an independent fair market value and if it is less than the book value, we subtract the fair market value from the book value to determine the stress loss. The following table shows the Company's earning assets and the results of the stress test performed for the periods indicated.

The Company also underwrites and originates owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. These loans are typically term loans made to support properties that rely upon the operations of the business occupying the property for repayment. The Agencies specifically excluded owner-occupied commercial real estate from their concentration guidance, as the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

The following two tables depict a well-diversified portfolio of owner-occupied commercial real estate as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The properties are distributed nicely among the Company's footprint. This loan segment continues to perform very well and is supported by strong loan-to-values (LTVs). The following table sets forth our owner-occupied CRE portfolio by the business industry groups that occupy the properties for the periods indicated.

The risk profile of real estate properties within our market can vary depending upon location. Therefore, we have disaggregated our stress testing of construction projects further by segmenting the loans into two groupings, those inside a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C. and those outside that radius. For example, during the 2009 recession, the peak-to-trough drop in property values inside the beltway was less than 10% (CoreLogic, 2019). The Board determined that loans made inside a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C. carry less geographic risk than those made outside of that radius.

The graphic below is a geopoint map that depicts all construction loans, non-owner occupied CRE loans, and owner-occupied CRE loans, with a majority of all loan types concentrated within a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C.

Asset Quality

The Company's asset quality remained resilient during the year ended December 31, 2025. Non-performing assets, which includes non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days past due, and other real estate owned totaled $33.2 million at December 31, 2025, and $21.7 million at December 31, 2024.

A loan's past due status is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. All loans which are 30 or more days past due at the end of the month are reported to the Board of Directors. Commercial loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Consumer loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 120 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans that are carried on non-accrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and there is reasonable assurance the borrower will continue to make payments as agreed.

The Company may identify loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower's financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets were 1.50% at December 31, 2025, compared with 0.97% at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $31.5 million in loans on non-accrual status and $1.7 million in other real estate owned.

See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 5, Allowance for Credit Losses, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company's credit grade categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions.

The following table summarizes asset quality information at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 had non-accruing loans been current according to their original terms was $1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

The Company further describes loans that were modified during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Loss on Loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb probable and estimable future credit losses in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific individually evaluated loans, and current and future economic conditions. Allowances for individually evaluated loans are generally determined based on collateral values. Because of uncertainties associated with regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on individually evaluated loans, it is reasonably possible that management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the near-term. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses on loans which is charged to expense and reduced by full and partial charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to individually evaluated loans are charged or credited to the provision for credit losses on loans. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on various factors, including, but not limited to, management's ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan losses on loan pools, the fair value of the underlying collateral, current and future economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. An integral part of their examination process, the Federal Reserve Board will periodically review our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by the lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that is not more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted ASC 326 and all the subsequent amendments there to effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior periods amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $1.7 million, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment includes an increase in allowance for credit losses of $2.2 million and an increase in net deferred tax assets of $506,000.

See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 5, Allowance for Credit Losses, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company's adoption of ASC 326.

At December 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.04% of total loans and we had $31.5 million in non-performing loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased to $19.3 million at December 31, 2025 from $19.5 million at December 31, 2024 due to the increase in collateral dependent loans during the year ended December 31, 2025, all of which are fully collateralized and do not require specific reserves. There were $24,000 and $4.5 million in net loan charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Funding Activities

Deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investing activities and their cost is the largest category of interest expense. The Company also utilizes wholesale deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company's funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company's asset/liability management process

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $8.6 million from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Wholesale deposits, which are included in the table below, totaled $498.5 million and $468.1 million at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The following table presents the Company's average deposits segregated by major category for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The shift from non-interest-bearing demand deposits into money market demand and time deposits was driven by market conditions emanating from the large-bank failures in the first half of 2023. In order for us to maintain the customer relationships, we needed to shift the deposits into accounts where we could provide excess FDIC insurance coverage. We also gained in money market demand and time deposits as customers brought additional funds into the Company.

The Company uses wholesale deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Wholesale deposits provide a diversified and stable source of funding that generally has stated maturities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $498.5 million of total wholesale deposit funding sources, an increase of $30.4 million compared to December 31, 2024, which totaled $468.1 million.

Given the interest rate environment and strategic initiatives, the Company replaced maturing higher yielding wholesale CDs with lower market rate CDs. The Company also utilized additional wholesale demand deposits to provide liquidity and more effectively balance our interest rate sensitivity. During the year ended December 31, 2025, total wholesale deposit funding accounted for approximately 35% of our interest expense.

The following table presents the Company's total wholesale deposit composition, concentrations, current rate and remaining duration, if applicable as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Regulatory Defined Wholesale Deposits

Each quarter the Bank files a bank call report with the FDIC, which has a specific way it defines wholesale brokered deposits. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $480.0 million of wholesale deposits outstanding, as defined by FDIC, an increase of $37.1 million from December 31, 2024. In addition, pursuant to rule 12 CFR 337.6(e), well-capitalized and well-rated institutions are not required to treat reciprocal deposits as wholesale deposits up to the lesser of 20 percent of their total liabilities or $5 billion. Reciprocal core deposits exceeding this threshold must be reported additionally as wholesale deposits for call report purposes only. As of December 31, 2025, the Company additionally reported $145.2 million in reciprocal deposits considered wholesale for call report purposes only, bringing regulatory defined wholesale deposits to $625.2 million as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, all of the Company's reciprocal deposits were core deposits from customers who placed their deposits in the reciprocal network for additional FDIC insurance coverage.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $911.8 million in total deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.

Certificates of deposit in amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 totaled approximately $416.8 million. The following table sets forth the maturity of these certificates as of December 31, 2025.

Borrowed Funds

We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential and commercial mortgage loans, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

At December 31, 2025and 2024, we were permitted to borrow up to an aggregate total of $587.8 million and $544.8million, respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. There were Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings outstanding of $0 at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025and 2024we had credit availability of $144.0 million and $144.0 million with correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs, if necessary. Borrowings were $0 outstanding at December 31, 2025and 2024, respectively, under this facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company's ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

The Company assesses liquidity needs on a daily basis using a sophisticated monitoring system that identifies daily sources and uses for a rolling 30-day period. The Company also assesses liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and changes in credit ratings. The assessment includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The assessment provides regular monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through unencumbered debt securities available-for-sale, loan principal and interest payments, maturities and prepayments of investment securities held-to-maturity and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment debt securities available-for-sale. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold and maturing interest-bearing deposits with other banks, are additional sources of liquidity.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers' interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit accounts and through FHLB and other borrowings. Wholesale deposits, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company's incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.

In addition to the Company's financial performance and condition, liquidity may be impacted by the Company's structure as a bank holding company that is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Company requires cash for various operating needs that could include payment of dividends to its stockholders, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is dividends paid by the Bank. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. In addition to the formal statutes and regulations, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the Bank's total capital in relation to its assets, deposits and other such items. Any future dividends must be set forth in the Company's capital plans before any dividends can be paid.

The Company's ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies' views of the Company's credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management is rated by an independent rating agency annually and is provided with independent current outlook for the Company.

The Board of Director's and the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) are responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of December 31, 2025.

We monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short-and intermediate-term securities.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $162.8 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $58.0 million at December 31, 2025.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.8 million, $14.7 million, and $31.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from maturing securities, was $38.4 million, $122.3 million, and $130.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were no sales of available-for-sale debt securities in 2025, 2024, or 2023. Net cash used in financing activities was $21.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and net cash provided by financing activities was $200.7 million and $83.0 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which consisted primarily of decreases in interest-bearing deposits and repurchase of common stock for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2025, totaled $681.8 million of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds in the normal course of business, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company's requirements and plans for continued growth.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The federal regulatory capital rules apply to all depository institutions as well as to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $3 billion or more. However, the regulatory capital requirements generally do not apply on a consolidated basis to a bank holding company with total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion unless the holding company: (1) is engaged in significant nonbanking activities either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; (2) conducts significant off-balance sheet activities (including securitization and asset management or administration) either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; or (3) has a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred securities) that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Federal Reserve may apply the regulatory capital standards at its discretion to any bank holding company, regardless of asset size, if such action is warranted for supervisory purposes.

Because the Company has total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion and does not engage in activities that would trigger application of the federal regulatory capital rules, it is not at present subject to consolidated capital requirements under such rules.

The Basel III Capital Rules, a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations, became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2025 and 2024 is 2.50%. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total capital, Common Equity Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2025, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

The Bank's actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented in the table below.

Non-GAAP Measures

In reporting the results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on an operating basis. These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company's financial statements and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis, provides valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the impact that investments in tax-exempt securities have on our financial metrics. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to the income tax effect on tax-exempt securities, using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

The Company believes that tangible common stockholders' equity, excluding intangible assets, is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and useful to investors because it provides an additional measure to calculate the book value of our common shares by removing the value of a subjective portion of our balance sheet.

The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures for the years ended December 31,
