Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of F&M Bank Corp. (the “Company”), Farmers & Merchants Bank (the “Bank”), Farmers & Merchants Financial Services, Inc. (“FMFS”), VBS Mortgage, LLC (dba “F&M Mortgage”), and VSTitle, LLC (“VST”), with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated. FMFS was dissolved effective April 25, 2024, and its legal existence was subsequently terminated on June 7, 2024. The operations, assets, and liabilities of FMFS were transferred to the Bank.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to accepted practices within the banking industry.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented.

All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods or the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Segment Reporting

The Company's revenue is primarily derived from the business of banking. The Company's financial performance is monitored on a consolidated basis by the Chief Executive Officer, who is designated the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company’s products and services offered. The segments are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if the operating performance of products and customers are similar. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s business components such as revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company’s segments and in determination of allocated resources. The presentation of financial performance to the CODM is consistent with amounts and financial statement line items shown in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, the Company's significant expenses are adequately segmented by category and amount in the Consolidated Statements of Income to include all significant items when considering both qualitative and quantitative factors. Significant expenses of the Company include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, equipment expense, data processing fees and legal and professional expenses.

All of the Company's financial results are similar and considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment. While the Company has assigned certain management responsibilities by region and business-line, the Company's CODM evaluates financial performance on a Company-wide basis. The majority of the Company's revenue is from the business of banking and the Company's assigned regions have similar economic characteristics, products, services and customers. Accordingly, all of the Company's operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. None of these reclassifications are considered material and have no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, money market funds and interest-bearing deposits. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold on an overnight basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities

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.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available for sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available for sale securities portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $1.3 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled $3.7 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Table of Contents

The Company utilizes a Qualitative Scorecard (“scorecard”) to adjust the historical loss information, as necessary, to reflect the Company’s expectations about the future. For each segment, the scorecard calculates the difference between the quantitative expected credit loss and the high watermark average remaining maturity loss rates. This difference is the maximum qualitative adjustment that can be applied to that segment. Due to the low number of losses in the Bank’s portfolio, in particular from 2008-2012, a number of pool sets will leverage peer data to calculate the overall loss rate. The Company believes that in order to provide a reasonable and supportable loss rate, data representative of losses during a financial downturn will provide a better representation of the perceived risk in the portfolio. In determining how to apply the weightings for the various qualitative factors, management assessed which factors would have the highest impact on potential loan losses. The economy and problem loan trends were determined to have the most significant effect on the estimated losses. The most influential factor on potential loan losses was economic conditions, with a weighting of 20%-25%. The Company will evaluate the weighting applied to each pool on an annual basis.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and calculates the allowance for credit losses for each using a remaining life methodology:

1-4 family residential construction. Construction loans are subject to general risks from changing housing market trends and economic conditions that may impact demand for completed properties, availability of building materials, and the costs of completion. Changes in construction costs and interest rates may impact the borrower’s ability to service the debt. These risks are measured by market-area unemployment rates, bankruptcy rates, housing and commercial building market trends, and interest rates. Risks specific to the borrower are also evaluated, including previous repayment history, debt service ability, and current and projected loan-to-value ratios for the collateral.

Other construction, land development and land. Construction and land development loans are subject to general risks from changing commercial building and housing market trends and economic conditions that may impact demand for completed properties and the costs of completion. Completed properties that do not sell or become leased within originally expected timeframes may impact the borrower’s ability to service the debt. These risks are measured by market-area unemployment rates, bankruptcy rates, housing and commercial building market trends, and interest rates. Risks specific to the borrower are also evaluated, including previous repayment history, debt service ability, and current and projected loan-to-value ratios for the collateral.

Secured by farmland. Farmland loans are loans secured by agricultural property. These loans are subject to risks associated with the value of the underlying farmland and the cash flows of the borrower’s farming operations.

Home equity - open end. The home-equity loan portfolio carries risks associated with the creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in loan-to-value ratios. The Company manages these risks through policies and procedures such as limiting loan-to-value ratios at origination, experienced underwriting, and requiring standards for appraisers.

Real estate. Real estate loans are for consumer residential 1-4 family real estate where the credit quality is subject to risks associated with the borrower’s repayment ability and collateral value, measured generally by analyzing local unemployment and bankruptcy trends, and local housing market trends and interest rates. Risks specific to a borrower are determined by previous repayment history, loan-to-value ratios, and debt-to-income ratios.

Home equity - closed end. The home-equity closed-end loan portfolio carries risks associated with the creditworthiness of the borrower, changes in loan-to-value ratios, and subordinate lien positions. The Company manages these risks through policies and procedures such as limiting loan-to-value ratios at origination, experienced underwriting, and requiring standards for appraisers.

Multifamily. Multifamily loans are loans secured by multi-unit residential property. These loans are subject to risks associated with the value of the underlying property, availability of rental units, as well as the successful operation and management of the property.

Owner-occupied commercial real estate. The commercial real estate segment includes loans secured by commercial real estate occupied by the owner/borrower. Loans in this segment are impacted by economic risks from changing commercial real estate markets, business bankruptcy rates, local unemployment rates and interest rate trends that would impact the businesses housed by the commercial real estate.

Table of Contents

Other commercial real estate. The other commercial real estate segment includes loans secured by commercial real estate leased to non-owners. Loans in the commercial real estate segment are impacted by economic risks from changing commercial real estate markets, rental markets for commercial buildings, business bankruptcy rates, local unemployment rates and interest rate trends that would impact the businesses housed by the commercial real estate.

Agriculture loans. Agriculture loans are secured by agricultural equipment or are unsecured. Credit risk for these loans is subject to economic conditions, generally monitored by local agricultural/farming trends, interest rates, and borrower repayment ability and collateral value (if secured).

Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are secured by collateral other than real estate or are unsecured. Credit risk for these loans is subject to economic conditions, generally monitored by local business bankruptcy trends, interest rates, and borrower repayment ability and collateral value (if secured).

Credit cards. Credit card loan portfolios carry risks associated with the creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the economic environment. The Company manages these risks through policies and procedures such as experienced underwriting, maximum debt to income ratios, and minimum borrower credit scores.

Automobile loans. Automobile loans generally carry certain risks associated with the values of the collateral and borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Lending on new and used vehicles is subject to the risk of changing values in the availability of vehicles and the resale value.

Other consumer loans. Other consumer loans may be secured or unsecured. Credit risk stems primarily from the borrower’s ability to repay. If the loan is secured, the Company analyzes loan-to-value ratios. All consumer non-real estate loans are analyzed for debt-to-income ratios and previous credit history, as well as for general risks to the portfolio, including local unemployment rates, personal bankruptcy rates and interest rates.

Municipal loans. Municipal loans are unsecured loans generally made to local towns within the Bank’s trade area. Credit risk is based on the cash flow and management of the local towns’ budgets.

Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in underlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting dated adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for credit losses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Nonvested restricted shares are included in the computation of basic earnings per share as the holder is entitled to full shareholder benefits during the vesting period, including voting rights and sharing in nonforfeitable dividends. Diluted earnings per share includes all convertible securities, such as convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, equity options, and warrants. The Company does not have any convertible securities that would dilute the earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption:

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

The following tables show the present fair value and gross unrealized losses (dollars in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of the dates stated. The reference point for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is period-end; therefore, it is possible that a security’s market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period. Excluded from the tables below were securities whose amortized cost equaled their fair value or were in an unrealized gain position as of the dates stated totaling $28.8 million and $9.0 million, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of securities in an unrealized loss position were of investment grade; however, a portion of the portfolio does not have a third-party investment grade available (securities with fair values of $24.4 million and $23.7 million, respectively). These securities were primarily subordinated debt instruments issued by bank holding companies and are classified as corporate debt securities in the tables above. The Company evaluated the issuers of these individually, observing that each issuer had strong capital ratios and profitability, thereby indicating limited exposure to asset quality or liquidity issues and resulted in no identifiable credit losses. Contractual cash flows for mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury and agencies are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government and government agencies. State and municipal securities showed no indication that the contractual cash flows would not be received when due. The Company does not intend to sell, nor does it believe that it will be required to sell, any of its impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for the Company's securities AFS portfolio. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company had securities with a market value of $120.3 million pledged to the Federal Reserve Discount Window as of March 31, 2025. The Discount Window provides access to funding to help depository institutions manage their liquidity risks. The Bank did not borrow from the Discount Window during the first three months of 2025. Additionally, the Company had securities with a market value of $9.1 million pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as collateral for deposits of the Department of Justice U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee.

As of March 31, 2025, other investments consisted of restricted stock in the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) (carrying basis of $1.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024), Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) (carrying basis of $925 thousand and $920 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively), in Farmer Mac stock (carrying basis of $4 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024), and in the Company correspondent bank (carrying value of $50 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024). Additionally, the Company has an equity investment in the community bank stock of National Bankshares Inc. totaling $135 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Other investments are carried at cost.

Collateral Dependent Disclosures

The collateral method is applied to individually evaluated loans for which foreclosure is probable. The collateral method is also applied to individually evaluated loans when borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.

The following table presents an analysis of collateral-dependent loans of the Company as of the periods noted (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
	Real Estate		Business/Other Assets		Real Estate		Business/Other Assets

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company presents loan and lease portfolio segments and classes by credit quality indicator and vintage year. The Company defines the vintage date for the purpose of this disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. Renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date, except for renewals of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty which are presented in the original vintage.

Table of Contents

Description of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass: Loans in all classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.

Grade 6 – Watch: Loans are currently protected but are weak due to negative balance sheet or income statement trends. There may be a lack of effective control over collateral or the existence of documentation deficiencies. These loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Other reasons supporting this classification include adverse economic or market conditions, pending litigation or any other material weakness. Existing loans that become 60 or more days past due are placed in this category pending a return to current status.

Grade 7 – Substandard: Loans having well-defined weaknesses where a payment default and or loss is possible, but not yet probable. Cash flow is inadequate to service the debt under the current payment, or terms, with prospects that the condition is permanent. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower and there is the likelihood that collateral will have to be liquidated and/or guarantor(s) called upon to repay the debt. Generally, the loan is considered collectible as to both principal and interest, primarily because of collateral coverage, however, if the deficiencies are not corrected quickly; there is a probability of loss.

Credit cards are classified as pass or substandard. A credit card is substandard when payments of principal and interest are past due 90 days or more.

NOTE 4 ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) consists of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the reserve for unfunded commitments. The Company’s ACL is governed by the Company’s ACL Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors and contains representatives from the Company’s finance, credit, and risk teams, and is responsible for calculating the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and resulting ACL. The ACL Committee considers the quantitative model results and qualitative factors when finalizing the ACL. The Company’s ACL model is subject to the Company’s models risk management program, which is overseen by the Director of Risk Management that reports to the Company’s Board Risk Committee.

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. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. 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 their estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the ACL . The ACL for unfunded commitments is classified on the balance sheet within Other liabilities.

Table of Contents

The following tables detail the changes in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 5 LEASES

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and adjusted for prepaid rent, initial direct costs, and any incentives received from the lessor. The right-of-use assets are included in other assets and the lease liability in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term. The Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations. The Company has three operating leases for office properties.

The following tables present information about the Company’s leases (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2025
Lease Liabilities	$	558
Right-of-use assets	$	524
Weighted average remaining lease term (years)		9.13 years
Weighted average discount rate		3.47%

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

NOTE 6 REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Banks and financial holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, “prompt corrective action” regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The net unrealized gain or loss on AFS securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of March 31, 2025, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

“Prompt corrective action” regulations provide five classifications: “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized”, and “critically undercapitalized”, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If “adequately capitalized”, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If “undercapitalized”, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action”.

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 –	Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –	Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –	Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

Fair Value – Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Securities - When quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discount cash flow methods. Level 2 securities included U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following table.

Loans held for sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried fair value, which is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. Changes in fair value are recognized in mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income (Level 2).

Derivative financial instruments - Derivative instruments used to hedge residential mortgage loans held for sale and the related interest rate lock commitments include forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on derivative market data inputs as of the valuation date and the underlying value of mortgage loans for rate lock commitments.

Fair Value - Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Collateral Dependent Loans - Collateral-dependent loans are carried at fair value, which equals the estimated market value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. Collateral may be in the form of real estate, securities, or business assets, including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. A loan may have multiple types of collateral; however, the majority of the Company’s loan collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is generally determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties or is discounted by the Company because of lack of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant or the net book value on the applicable borrower’s financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)- Certain assets such as OREO are measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Valuation of OREO is generally determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a Level 2 input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained prior to reporting dates, or if declines in value are identified after a recent appraisal, appraisal values are discounted, resulting in Level 3 estimates. If the Company markets the property with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value, resulting in a valuation based on Level 3 inputs.

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument. The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.

The carrying values of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and restricted cash are of such short duration that carrying value reasonably approximates fair value (Level 1).

The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are of such short duration that carrying value reasonably approximates fair value (Level 2).

The carrying value of restricted equity investments approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issuer (Level 2). The fair value of other investments is approximated by its carrying value (Level 3).

Table of Contents

The fair value of the Company’s loan portfolio includes a credit risk assumption in the determination of the fair value of its loans. This credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction. The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: variable rate loans, impaired loans, and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above. The fair value of the Company’s loan portfolio also considers illiquidity risk through the use of a discounted cash flow model to compensate for, based on certain assumptions included within the discounted cash flow model, primarily the use of discount rates that better capture inherent credit risk over the lifetime of a loan. This consideration of both credit risk and illiquidity risk provides an estimated exit price for the Company’s loan portfolio. Loans held for investment are reported as Level 3.

The carrying value of BOLI reasonably approximates fair value, as these policies are reported at their cash surrender value, which is estimated based on information provided by insurance carriers (Level 3).

The carrying value of noninterest-bearing deposits approximates fair value (Level 1). The carrying values of interest-bearing demand, money market, and savings deposits approximates fair value based on their current pricing and are reported as Level 2. The fair values of time deposits were obtained using a discounted cash flow calculation that includes a market rate analysis of the current rates offered by market participants for time deposits that mature in the same period. Time deposits are reported as Level 3.

The fair value of the FHLB borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates offered for similar advances (Level 2).

The fair value of the Company’s subordinated notes is estimated by utilizing recent issuance interest rates for subordinated debt offerings of similar issuer size (Level 3).

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Borrowers with fixed rate obligations may be less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates may be more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

Results of Operations

Overview

Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.5 million, or $0.70 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.35 per share, for the first quarter of 2024—an increase of $1.2 million, or $0.35 per share. Return on average assets was 0.76% and return on average equity was 11.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, both improving from the prior-year period. The increase in net income was primarily driven by two factors: (1) lower total interest expense following the redemption of short-term debt, and (2) a recovery of provision for credit losses of $104,000, compared to a provision of $823,000 in the prior year, resulting in a net improvement of $927,000 in provision expense. These factors, coupled with an increase of $687,000 in interest income, increased net interest income to $9.4 million at March 31, 2025 from $8.1 million at March 31, 2024.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for first quarter 2025 was $9.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million over first quarter 2024. Interest income for first quarter 2025 increased $687,000 due to higher interest rates, while interest expense decreased $628,000 due to no short-term debt. Net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was 3.15%, up 45 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Higher average balances in loans held for investment and federal funds sold were offset by a decline in average balances of investments and interest-bearing deposits in banks. The earning asset yield increased 26 basis points to 5.43% from 5.17%. Cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 20 basis points to 2.94%. Interest expense on deposits increased $363,000 due to an increase in the average balance of savings and time deposits; however, interest expense on debt decreased $991,000 due to redemption of short-term FHLB advances.

Table of Contents

The following table shows interest income on earning assets and related average yields as well as interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and related average rates paid for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

(Recovery of) Provision for Credit Losses

During first quarter 2025, the Bank recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses of $104,000, compared to a provision of $823,000 in first quarter 2024. The current quarter recovery of provision was the result of a $12.9 million decrease in total loans held for investment and decreased net loan charge-offs during the first three months of 2025. The recovery of provision also included a provision of $76,000 in the reserve for unfunded commitments that resulted from an increase in outstanding loan commitments. At March 31, 2025, the ACL totaled $7.8 million or 0.94% of gross loans outstanding.

Table of Contents

Non-interest income

Non-interest income totaled $2.8 million for first quarter 2025, an increase of $513,000. The increase resulted from increases across all categories, notably $214,000 in mortgage banking income, $95,000 in wealth management, and $53,000 in title insurance income. Non-interest income to average assets increased to 0.88% at March 31, 2025 compared to 0.72% at March 31, 2024.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses totaled $9.5 million for first quarter 2025, compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter 2024, an increase of $1.1 million. Salaries increased $347,000 largely due to higher commissions paid related to wealth management and mortgage banking income, and an increase in bonus accruals. Employee benefits increased $250,000 due to a higher refund (rebate) of health insurance expenses in 2024, and a change from pension income in 2024 to pension expense in 2025. Data processing expense increased $196,000 primarily due to a shift in statement processing costs to data processing as part of our core vendor contract; additionally, new software was implemented to improve financial reporting and efficiency. Other operating expenses rose $154,000 due to an increase in fraud losses and collection expenses. Non-interest expense to average assets increased from 2.60% at March 31, 2024 to 2.96% at March 31, 2025.

On March 31, 2025, assets totaled $1.31 billion, a decrease of $10.1 million since December 31, 2024. Total loans decreased by $12.9 million to $827.0 million, including decreases of $9.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, $6.6 million in automobile loans, and $4.4 million in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. These decreases were offset by increases of $6.1 million in real estate loans, $3.1 million in other construction and land loans, and $2.3 million in loans secured by farmland. Investment securities decreased by $6.5 million due to paydowns on U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and bond maturities, which were offset by purchases of $15.4 million. Total deposits grew by $4.9 million to $1.2 billion, with noninterest bearing deposits increasing by $11.1 million and interest-bearing deposits declining by $6.2 million. Long-term debt remained consistent at $7.0 million. Total shareholders’ equity rose by $5.2 million to $91.3 million.

Securities Available for Sale (“AFS”)

The Company’s available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio is reported at fair value, based on market prices of comparable instruments. This portfolio mainly includes U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency and mortgage-backed securities issued by federal agencies, as well as municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. As of March 31, 2025, the total AFS securities were $321.2 million, down from $327.7 million on December 31, 2024.

This represents a decrease of $6.5 million, or 2.0%. The average balance of the AFS securities portfolio during the first three months of 2025 was $319.1 million, compared to $365.5 million during the same period in 2024. The average AFS securities portfolio accounted for 26.3% and 30.1% of average earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The decrease in AFS securities is primarily due to maturities and expected paydowns on mortgage-backed securities in the bond portfolio. Net unrealized losses related to the fair value of AFS securities were $30.7 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $35.2 million as of December 31, 2024. This unrealized loss is attributed to rising market interest rates rather than credit quality. During the period, $26.2 million in mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds matured or were paid down, of which $15.4 million was reinvested in higher-yielding bonds. Scheduled maturities and paydowns are expected to total $35.2 million in the remaining nine months of 2025. The portfolio’s weighted average life is 5.07 years, with a modified duration of 4.04 years.

Loan Portfolio

The Company operates in a diverse local economy supported by various industries, including agribusiness, manufacturing, services, and several universities and colleges. The Bank is an active lender for residential mortgages and residential construction and typically provides commercial loans to small and mid-size businesses and farms within its primary service area. Additionally, the Bank offers automobile and recreational vehicle loans through its dealer finance division.

Loans Held for Investment totaled $827.0 million at March 31, 2025 and decreased $12.9 million from $839.9 million at December 31, 2024. As a percentage of average earning assets, average loans were 68.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with 67.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Loans Held for Sale totaled $634,000 as of March 31, 2025, a decrease of $1.6 million from $2.3 million on December 31, 2024. This category consists of F&M Mortgage loans, which are affected by interest rate changes, seasonal trends, and refinancing activity. All mortgage loans held for sale have been pre-committed to investors, effectively minimizing interest rate risk.

The Company’s loans held for investment portfolio is well-diversified, with first-lien, amortizing residential mortgage loans as the largest segment, representing 26.47% of total loans. Commercial real estate loans, including both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties, comprise $178.9 million, or 21.62% of the portfolio. Automobile loans, originated through the Company’s dealer finance division, total $97.6 million, accounting for 11.80% of the portfolio. Following is a breakdown of the loan portfolio composition as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management has implemented a comprehensive analytical process to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to the discussion in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for management’s approach to estimating the ACL.

The Company maintains the ACL at a level deemed adequate by management for expected credit losses. The Company’s ACL is calculated quarterly with any adjustment recorded to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated Statement of Income. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACL utilizing a defined methodology to determine if it properly addresses the current and expected risks in the loan portfolio, which considers the performance of borrowers and specific evaluation of individually evaluated loans, including historical loss experiences, trends in delinquencies, non-performing loans and other risk assets, and qualitative factors. Risk factors are continuously reviewed and adjusted, as needed, by management when conditions support a change. Management believes its approach properly addresses relevant accounting and bank regulatory guidance for loans both collectively and individually evaluated.

Table of Contents

The current quarter recovery of provision for credit losses of $104,000 was a combination of $180,000 recovery of provision for the allowance for loan credit losses, plus $76,000 provision for the allowance for unfunded commitments. The current quarter recovery of provision of $180,000 was driven by net loan charge-offs of $187,000 and decreased loan balances of $12.9 million. There were changes that increased environmental factors for credit quality in the owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate; for loan review in commercial construction, secured by farmland, real estate, owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, loans to farmers, and commercial and industrial; and for other factors in loans secured by farmers. The economic forecast from the Federal Reserve showed improvement in gross domestic product for the next twelve months, lowering the environmental economic factor for non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and municipal loans.

As of March 31, 2025, year-to-date net charge-offs totaled $187,000, down from $807,000 during the same period ended March 31, 2024. Gross loans decreased by $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 and loans individually analyzed increased $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, the ACL was $7.8 million, or 0.94% of loans held for investment, compared to $8.1 million, or 0.97% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2024.

The reserve for unfunded commitments increased from $648,000 at December 31, 2024, to $724,000 March 31, 2025 due to increases in loan commitments of $6.2 million in commercial and industrial loans, $2.8 million in owner-occupied commercial real estate, and $2.6 million in 1-4 family construction, coupled with increased environmental factors previously mentioned for these segments.

Asset Quality

Management classifies nonperforming loans as nonaccrual loans and loans that are 90 days or more past due. Nonaccrual loans are those on which interest accruals have been suspended or permanently discontinued. The Company’s nonaccrual loans increased $1.9 million from December 31, 2024, primarily due to one real estate loan ($727,000) and one owner-occupied commercial real estate loan ($1.2 million). The Company determined no reserve was necessary for either loan based on estimated collateral values. For more details on nonperforming loans by segment, see Note 3 Loans and Credit Quality in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing assets as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Long-term borrowings

Long-term debt remained stable at $7.0 million from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 and consisted solely of one subordinated debt note. The note bears interest at 6.00% per annum through July 30, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears. From July 31, 2025 through July 30, 2030, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 593 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Beginning on July 31, 2025 through maturity, the note may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2025, was $91.3 million, compared to $86.1 million at December 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity increased $5.2 million due to net income of $2.5 million and other comprehensive income of $3.5 million, offset by dividends to shareholders of $917,000. Other comprehensive income was the result of an increase in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, money market investments, federal funds sold, loans held for sale, and securities and loans maturing or re-pricing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, a line of credit with the FHLB, credit availability at the Federal Reserve Bank, the purchase of brokered certificates of deposit, corporate line of credit with a large correspondent bank, and debt and capital issuances. Management believes the Company’s current overall liquidity is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ credit needs.

Table of Contents

The Company closely monitors changes in the industry and market conditions that may impact the Company’s liquidity. Deposits have remain a steady source of liquidity. The Company may use other means of borrowings or other liquidity sources to fund any liquidity needs based on declines in deposit balances. The Company is also closely tracking the potential impacts on the Company’s liquidity due to declines in fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio due to rising market interest rates.

As of March 31, 2025, liquid assets totaled $106.2 million, or 8.1% of total assets, and liquid earning assets totaled $84.4 million, or 6.4% of total earning assets. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing loan and securities maturities and cash flows. The Bank is scheduled to receive $35.2 million from bond paydowns and maturities by the end of 2025 which can be used to fund future loan growth and for other purposes.

At March 31, 2025 the Bank pledged investment securities with a par value totaling $120.3 million to the Federal Reserve System’s Discount Window. The Discount Window provides access to funding to help depository institutions manage their liquidity risks. The Bank did not borrow from the Discount Window during the first three months of 2025. In addition to the Discount Window, the Bank has access to off-balance sheet liquidity through unsecured Federal funds lines totaling $90.0 million, and a secured line of credit with the FHLB with $179.8 million in available credit at March 31, 2025. The FHLB line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on qualifying loans in the residential, commercial, agricultural real estate, and home equity portfolios.

The Bank has a Funding and Liquidity Risk Management policy that limits the amount of short-term and long-term alternative funding to no more than 25% of total assets.

Uninsured deposits at March 31, 2025 were $148.4 million or 12% to total deposits. In the unlikely event that uninsured deposit balances leave the Bank over a short period of time, management could more than satisfy the demand with liquid assets and FHLB borrowing capacity.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the sensitivity of a financial institution’s earnings or the economic value of its capital to adverse changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Interest rate fluctuations impact the amount of interest income and expense the Bank pays or receives on the majority of its assets. Rapid changes in short-term interest rates may lead to volatility in net interest income resulting in additional interest rate risk to the extent that imbalances exist between the maturities or repricing of interest-bearing liabilities and interest earning assets.

The Company manages interest rate risk through an asset and liability committee (“ALCO”) composed of members of its Board of Directors and executive management. The ALCO is responsible for monitoring and managing the Company’s interest rate risk and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by ALCO.

Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides an additional analysis of the sensitivity of the earnings to changes in interest rates to static gap analysis. Assumptions used in the model rates are derived from historical trends, peer analysis, and management’s outlook, and include loans and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. All maturities, calls, and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different assets and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and is reflected in different rate scenarios.

Table of Contents

The following table represents interest rate sensitivity on the Company’s net interest income using different rate scenarios:

	As of March 31, 2025	As of December 31, 2024
Change in Interest Rates (in Basis Points)	Percent Change in Earnings	Percent Change in Earnings
400	-4.09%	-9.93%
300	-2.89%	-7.38%
200	-1.86%	-4.76%
100	-0.80%	-2.28%
(100)	0.57%	1.89%
(200)	0.48%	3.14%
(300)	-0.34%	3.79%
(400)	-3.26%	1.80%

Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Market values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value is the market value of all assets minus the market value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value (“EVE”) over different rate environments is an indication of the longer- term repricing risk in the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the market value simulation as in the earnings simulation.

The following table reflects the change in net economic value over different rate environments:

	As of March 31, 2025	As of December 31, 2024
Change in Interest Rates (in Basis Points)	Percentage Change in EVE	Percentage Change in EVE
400	-14.68%	-20.65%
300	-10.80%	-15.73%
200	-6.77%	-10.40%
100	-3.03%	-5.04%
(100)	1.07%	3.63%
(200)	-0.62%	4.51%
(300)	-4.42%	2.87%
(400)	-9.31%	-2.32%

Prudent balance sheet management requires processes that monitor and protect the Company against unanticipated or significant changes in the level of market interest rates. Net interest income stability should be maintained in changing rate environments by ensuring that interest rate risk is kept to an acceptable level. The ability to reprice our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities over various time intervals is of critical importance.

The Company uses a variety of traditional and on-balance-sheet tools to manage our interest rate risk. Gap analysis, which monitors the “gap” between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, is one such tool. In addition, we use simulation modeling to forecast future balance sheet and income statement behavior. By studying the effects on net interest income of rising, stable, and falling interest rate scenarios, the Company can position itself to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movement, and protect us from unanticipated rate movements, by understanding the dynamic nature of our balance sheet components.

An asset-sensitive balance sheet structure implies that assets, such as loans and securities, will reprice faster than liabilities; consequently, net interest income should be positively affected in an increasing interest rate environment. Conversely, a liability-sensitive balance sheet structure implies that liabilities, such as deposits, will reprice faster than assets; consequently, net interest income should be positively affected in a decreasing interest rate environment. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $121.1 million more in liabilities repricing than assets subject to repricing in one year. This is a one-day position that is continually changing and is not necessarily indicative of our position at any other time.
