JOHN MARSHALL BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
Note 1— Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Banking Activities
John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Reston, Virginia, became the registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 for its wholly-owned subsidiary, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank”), on March 1, 2017. This reorganization was completed through a one-for-one share exchange in which the Bank’s shareholders received
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect practices of the banking industry. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan credit losses.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. All amounts and disclosures included in this quarterly report as of December 31, 2024, were derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are contained in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply the guidance in ASU 2023-09 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and will enhance its income tax disclosures in accordance with the requirements. The adoption will be applied prospectively and is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The Company’s held-to-maturity securities with credit risk were comprised of municipal bonds and had a credit rating of AA or better as of March 31, 2025. All other held-to-maturity securities are covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies. The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Portfolio Segments
The Company currently manages its loan products and the respective exposure to credit losses by the following specific portfolio segments which are levels at which the Company develops and documents its systematic methodology to determine the allowance for loan credit losses attributable to each respective portfolio segment. These segments are:
| ● | Real estate - commercial loans – The real estate commercial loans category contains commercial mortgage loans secured by owner occupied, non-owner occupied, and multifamily real estate. |
| ● | Real estate - construction and land development loans – The real estate construction and land development loans category contains residential and commercial construction loan financing to builders and developers and to consumers building their own homes. |
| ● | Real estate - residential loans – The real estate residential mortgage loans category contains permanent mortgage loans principally to consumers secured by residential real estate. |
| ● | Commercial loans – The commercial loans category contains business purpose loans made to provide funds for the financing of equipment, receivables, contract administration expenses, and other general corporate needs of commercial businesses. |
| ● | Consumer loans – The consumer loans category contains personal loans such as installment loans and lines of credit. |
Loan Servicing Rights
Under the U.S Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) program, the Bank can sell in the secondary market the guaranteed portion of its SBA 7(a) loans and retain the related unguaranteed portion of these loans, as well as the servicing on such loans, for which it is paid a fee. The Company generally offers SBA 7(a) loans within a range of $50 thousand to $2.0 million. SBA 7(a) loans are fixed or adjustable rate loans based on the Prime Rate. Under the SBA 7(a) program, the loans carry an SBA guaranty for up to 85% of the loan. Typical maturities for this type of loan vary but can be up to ten years. The Company holds rights to service the guaranteed portion of SBA loans sold in the secondary market. Management has elected the amortization method to account for loan servicing rights. The loan servicing spread is generally a minimum of 1.00% on all SBA 7(a) loans.
Loan servicing rights are capitalized at estimated fair value when acquired through the origination of loans that are subsequently sold with the servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights are amortized to servicing income on loans sold approximately in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The value of loan servicing rights at the date of the sale of loans is estimated based on the discounted present value of expected future cash flows using key assumptions for servicing income and costs and expected prepayment rates on the underlying loans.
The carrying value of loan servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment by comparing actual cash flows and estimated future cash flows from the loan servicing assets to those estimated at the time that the loan servicing assets were originated. Fair values are estimated using expected future discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest. For purposes of measuring impairment, the loan servicing rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized loan servicing rights based on product type and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the loan servicing rights exceeds their carrying value. Impairment, if deemed temporary, is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the recorded amount.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank’s SBA 7(a) loan servicing portfolio, which is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, totaled $

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company assesses credit quality indicators based on internal risk rating of loans. Each loan is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans. The indicators represent the rating for loans as of the date presented is based on the most recent credit review performed. Internal risk rating definitions are:
Pass: These include satisfactory loans that have acceptable levels of risk.
Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant further adverse classification.
Substandard: A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be received in the future.
The Company has a portfolio of smaller homogenous loans that are not individually risk rated and include residential permanent and construction mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and consumer installment loans. For these loans, management uses payment status as the primary credit quality indicator. The payment status of these loans is then translated into an internal risk rating. The following table summarizes the translation of past due status to risk rating for loans that are not individually risk rated.
Internal | ||
Days Past Due | Risk Rating | |
0 - 29 days | Pass | |
30-59 days | Special Mention | |
60-89 days | Substandard | |
90-119 days | Doubtful | |

Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The allowance for loan credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for loan credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company may provide concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. The Company did

financial difficulty is already included in the allowance because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance is generally not recorded upon modification.
Unfunded Commitments
The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $

Note 5— Derivatives
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) with commercial loan customers to provide a facility for customers to manage their interest rate risk. These swaps are matched in exact offsetting terms with swaps that the Company enters into with an independent third party. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments.

Note 7— Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.
The following table summarizes the contract or notional amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, and other real estate properties.
21
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Note 8— Fair Value Measurements
Determination of Fair Value
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The fair value measurements and disclosures topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.
Securities Available-for-sale and Equity Securities
Securities available-for-sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain
22
securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).
The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its portfolio of debt securities. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is ICE Data Services, which evaluates securities based on market data. ICE Data Services utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.
The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates current market interest rates. Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the more mature Level 1 markets. These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
23
The following tables summarize the fair value of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Under certain circumstances, the Company makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the financial statements:
24
Collateral Dependent Loans
In accordance with ASC 326, loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk and loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The measurement of loss associated with collateral dependent loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, or if an appraisal of the property is more than one-year-old and not solely based on observable market comparables, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)
OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value using observable market data, the Company records the property as Level 2. When an appraised value using observable market data is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the property as Level 3 valuation. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. The Company had
The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 9— Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share, which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of voting common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes the computation of earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Note 11— Regulatory Capital
The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank is subject to capital adequacy standards adopted by the Federal Reserve, including the capital rules that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, 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 classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets.
In addition to the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy purposes, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer above those minimums in the form of common equity. The capital conservation buffer, which was phased in ratably over a four year period beginning January 1, 2016, is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and discretionary compensation paid to certain officers, based on the amount of the shortfall. The capital conservation buffer was
As of March 31, 2025, the most recent notification from the Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Note 12— Revenue
Certain of the Company’s non-interest revenue streams are derived from short-term contacts associated with services provided to deposit account holders as well as other ancillary services, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue Recognition. For most of these revenue streams, the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts that generate non-interest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.
The following table shows the components of non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of overdrawn account fees and account service fees. Overdrawn account fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Account service fees consist primarily of account analysis and other maintenance fees and are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Other service charges and fees
Other service charges and fees are primarily comprised of interchange income and other charges and fees. Interchange income is earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. Other charges and fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks, and other transaction based services. The Company’s performance obligation for these charges and fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.
Net gains (losses) on premises and equipment
The Company records a gain or loss on the disposition of premises and equipment when control of the property transfers or is involuntarily converted to a monetary asset (e.g., insurance proceeds). This income is reflected in other operating income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Insurance commissions
The Company performs the function of an insurance intermediary by introducing the policyholder and insurer and is compensated in the form of a commission for placement of an insurance policy based on a percentage of premiums issued and maintained during the period. Revenue is recognized when received.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q. Historical results of operations and the percentage relationships among any amounts included, and any trends that may appear, may not indicate results of operations or trends in operations for any future periods.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This discussion and analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. Non-GAAP measures used in this report consist of tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin.
These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for or more important than financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Where the non-GAAP financial measure is used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure, can be found within this discussion and analysis.
Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “potential,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. These forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions and on the information available to us at the time that these disclosures were prepared, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance such expectations will prove to have been correct. Should any known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, those developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and the Bank include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | the concentration of our business in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the effect of changes in the economic, political and environmental conditions on this market, including reduction in spending by the U.S. Government; |
| ● | adequacy of our allowance for loan credit losses, allowance for unfunded commitments credit losses, and allowance for credit losses associated with our held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities portfolios; |
| ● | deterioration of our asset quality; |
| ● | future performance of our loan portfolio with respect to recently originated loans; |
| ● | the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; |
| ● | liquidity, interest rate and operational risks associated with our business; |
| ● | changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital; |
| ● | our ability to maintain existing deposit relationships or attract new deposit relationships; |
| ● | changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; |
| ● | inflation and changes in interest rates that may reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; |
| ● | changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve; |
| ● | additional risks related to new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services; |
| ● | increased competition with other financial institutions and fintech companies; |
| ● | adverse changes in the securities markets; |
| ● | changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; |
33
| ● | our ability to maintain an effective risk management framework; |
| ● | changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory structure and in regulatory fees and capital requirements; |
| ● | compliance with legislative or regulatory requirements; |
| ● | 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 similar actions; |
| ● | potential claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions; |
| ● | 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; |
| ● | geopolitical conditions, including trade restrictions and tariffs, and acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, or actions taken by the U.S. or other governments in response to trade restrictions and tariffs, and acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, negatively impacting business and economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad; |
| ● | the effects of weather-related or natural disasters, which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolio and increase our cost of conducting business; |
| ● | public health events (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and governmental and societal responses thereto; |
| ● | technological risks and developments, and cyber threats, attacks, or events; |
| ● | changes in accounting policies and practices; |
| ● | our ability to successfully capitalize on growth opportunities; |
| ● | our ability to retain key employees; |
| ● | deteriorating economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, including higher unemployment and lower real estate values; |
| ● | implications of our status as a smaller reporting company and as an emerging growth company; and |
| ● | other factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. |
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note.
Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Reston, Virginia primarily serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The material business operations of our organization are performed through the Bank. As a result, the discussion and analysis within this section primarily relate to activities conducted at the Bank.
As with most community banks, the Bank derives a significant portion of its income from interest received on loans and investments. The Bank’s primary source of funding is deposits, both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing. To account for credit risk inherent in all loans, the Bank maintains an allowance for loan credit losses to absorb lifetime losses on existing loans. The Bank establishes and maintains this allowance by recording a provision for credit losses against earnings. In addition to net interest income, the Bank also generates income through service charges on deposits, insurance commission income, merchant services fee income, swap fee income and gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans. In order to maintain its operations, the Bank incurs various operating expenses which are further described within the “Results of Operations” later in this section.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total consolidated assets of $2.27 billion, total loans net of unearned income of $1.87 billion, total deposits of $1.92 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $253.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP, as well as general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
Our most significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
Selected Financial Data
The following table contains selected historical consolidated financial data as of the dates and for the periods shown. The selected balance sheet data as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 and the selected income statement data for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have been derived from our consolidated financial statements.

(3) | Tax-equivalent net interest margin adjusts for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire tax-equivalent adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the tax-equivalent components. |
Tax-equivalent net interest margin as presented above is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, is a financial measure that the Company believes provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain securities and loans, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The following table, “Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income,” reconciles net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income, which is a non-GAAP measure.

Net interest income increased $2.4 million or 20.0% on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven primarily by the increase in loan yields, reduction in the average balance of maturing deposits and borrowings, and the increase in the average balance of loans.
On a fully tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin was 2.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets and reduction in rates on deposits in addition to a reduction of volume of time deposits.
The loan portfolio’s yield for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 5.39% compared to 5.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of 21 basis points was primarily attributable to an increase in yield on the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio.
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated to volume.

(1) Income and yields for all periods presented are reported on a tax-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
(2) The Company did not have any loans on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024.
Interest Income
Interest income increased by $0.4 million or 1.4% to $27.3 million on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by both an increase in rates and volume on interest earning assets. The increase in rates on interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to the Company’s loan portfolio.
Fully tax-equivalent interest income on loans increased by approximately $1.2 million as a result of volume and an increase in rates. Average loans increased $32.3 million between the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily attributable to origination volume in the investor real estate and residential loan portfolios subsequent to March 31, 2024.
Fully tax-equivalent interest income on investment securities decreased by approximately $196 thousand primarily as a result of a decrease in volume. Average investment securities decreased approximately $39.3 million between the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 primarily due to maturities and amortization.
Interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased by $602 thousand primarily as a result of a decrease in rates, coupled with a decrease in volume. Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased approximately $19.9 million between the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $2.0 million to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in rates on deposits and decrease in volume on borrowings. The decrease in rates on deposits was primarily a result of the repricing of the Company’s deposits accounts in conjunction with the decrease in benchmark interest rates that took place starting in September of 2024.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a $170 thousand provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a recovery of provision for credit losses of $776 thousand for the first quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses for the current period that is directly attributable to the funded and unfunded loan portfolios was $111 thousand and $59 thousand, respectively.
The provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily a result of changes in the Company’s loss driver analysis and assumptions, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, and considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2025, our funded construction and land development loans grew by $8.3 million which resulted in a $277 thousand increase to the reserve. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our funded commercial loans of $8.4 million which resulted in a decrease of $113 thousand to the reserve.
See “Asset Quality” section below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest expense increased $324 thousand or 4.1% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in salary and employee benefit expense. The $289 thousand or 6.0% increase in salary and employee benefit expense stemmed from the hiring of additional personnel. The Company hired three business development officers during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s occupancy expense decreased $44 thousand or 9.8% when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the same period in 2024. The decrease resulted from relocating a branch to a lower cost and more favorable location. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $19 thousand or 6.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 versus the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase resulted from investment in and maintenance of technology. Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $60 thousand or 2.5% when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Increases primarily in data processing and marketing were partially offset by a reduction in professional fees.

The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase in net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to lower interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Book value per share was $17.72 as of March 31, 2025 compared to $17.28 as of December 31, 2024.

Asset Quality
The Company maintains policies and procedures to promote sound underwriting and mitigate credit risk. The Chief Credit Officer is responsible for establishing credit risk policies and procedures, including underwriting and hold guidelines and credit approval authority, and monitoring credit exposure and performance of the Company’s lending-related transactions.
The Company’s asset quality remained strong through the first quarter of 2025. The Company did not have any nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans, OREO, or loans classified as substandard as of March 31, 2025. The Company had one loan that was 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of December 31, 2024. The loan paid off, in full, on January 7, 2025. As a result, the Company did not have any nonperforming loans, which consists of loans that are 90 days or more past due or loans placed on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2025.
The Company did not have any nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024 nor were there any loans placed on nonaccrual during those periods. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when (i) the Company is advised by the borrower that scheduled principal or interest payments cannot be met, (ii) when management’s best judgment indicates that payment in full of principal and interest can no longer be expected, or (iii) when any such loan or obligation becomes delinquent for 90 days, unless it is both well-secured and in the process of collection. As a result, the Company did not have any interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the Company’s asset quality as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Loan Credit Losses
Refer to the discussion in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for management’s approach to estimating the allowance for loan credit losses.
44
The Company recorded no net charge-offs or recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to no net charge-offs and a $1 thousand recovery during the three months ended March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the allowance for loan credit losses was $18.8 million or 1.01% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, compared to $18.7 million or 1.00% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2024. The increase in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was primarily a result of changes in the composition of the loan portfolio and considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments.
The following table summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience by loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Management believes that the allowance for loan credit losses is adequate to absorb lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of March 31, 2025. There can be no assurance, however, that adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses will not be required in the future. Changes in the economic assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgments; adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area; or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers are criteria that could change and make adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses necessary.

Included in these amounts were $167.8 million and $157.4 million of public fund deposits that are collateralized as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Deposits that were not insured or not collateralized represented 37% and 35% of total deposits, respectively, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Capital Resources
The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank is subject to capital adequacy standards adopted by the Federal Reserve, including the capital rules that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, contains additional discussion and analysis regarding the Company and Bank’s regulatory capital requirements.
Shareholders’ equity increased $6.3 million or 2.6% to $253.0 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $246.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase in net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to lower interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Book value per share was $17.72 as of March 31, 2025 compared to $17.28 as of December 31, 2024.
In July of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program that was originally adopted in August of 2021. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 700,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or 5.0% of outstanding shares as of September 30, 2024. The stock repurchase program will expire on August 31, 2025, or earlier if all the authorized shares have been repurchased. The Company repurchased 2,639 shares of its outstanding common stock under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity
Liquidity reflects a financial institution’s ability to fund assets and meet current and future financial obligations. Liquidity is essential in all banks to meet customer withdrawals, compensate for balance sheet fluctuations, and provide funds for growth. Monitoring and managing both liquidity measurements is critical in developing prudent and effective balance sheet management. Management conducts liquidity stress testing on a quarterly basis to prepare for unexpected adverse scenarios and contemporaneously develops mitigating strategies to reduce losses in the event of an economic downturn.
The Company’s principal source of liquidity and funding is its deposit base. The level of deposits necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand. In addition to the liquidity provided by balance sheet cash flows, the Company supplements its liquidity with additional sources such as secured borrowing credit lines with the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Specifically, the Company has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Based on collateral pledged as of March 31, 2025, the total FHLB available borrowing capacity was $401.0 million. Additional borrowing capacity with the Reserve Bank was approximately $107.1 million as of March 31, 2025.
47
On September 3, 2024, the Company took out three fixed interest rate advances with terms of 18, 24, and 36 months. The interest rates on the advances range from 3.92% to 4.15%. At March 31, 2025, the Company had three outstanding FHLB advances totaling $56 million.
Total liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered securities at fair value, and available secured borrowing capacity, was $786.9 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $727.3 million at December 31, 2024.
In addition to available secured borrowing capacity, the Company had available federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $110.0 million at March 31, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees which would impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors. For further information, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for further discussion of the nature, business purpose and elements of risk involved with these off-balance sheet arrangements.
