FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights of the three-month period ending March 31, 2025, are as follows. Comparisons are to the three-month period ending December 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated:

  • Return on assets and return on equity of 1.01% and 11.88%, respectively
  • Net interest margin(1) improved 14 basis points to 3.51%
  • Loan balances increased by 7%, annualized
  • Deposit balances increased by 10%, annualized
  • Tangible book value per share(1) increased 14%, annualized, to $18.35
  • Loan production office relocated in northern Virginia with capacity for growth

LOAN PRODUCTION OFFICE RELOCATED WITH CAPACITY FOR GROWTH

In support of the Company's strategic plan, which includes market expansion and continued growth, the Bank celebrated the grand opening of a new lending office in Ashburn, Virginia, located within Loudoun County, in March 2025. The new office houses professional bankers who offer both commercial loans and residential real estate loans. These employees formerly reported to an office in Leesburg, Virginia, which is also in Loudoun County. The new Ashburn office provides capacity for growth.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $190 thousand, or 3%, to $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Total interest and dividend income increased by $27 thousand and total interest expense decreased by $163 thousand. The net interest margin(1) increased to 3.51%, which was up 14-basis points from 3.37% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total interest and dividend income increased $27 thousand and was attributable to a $214 thousand increase in interest income and fees on loans and a $68 thousand increase in interest income on securities, which was partially offset by a $255 thousand decrease in interest income on deposits in other financial institutions. The increase in interest and fees on loans was attributable to a 6-basis point increase in the yield and a $21.6 million increase in average balances and the increase in interest on securities was primarily attributable to a 52-basis point increase in yield. The decrease in interest income on deposits in other financial institutions was attributable to a $15.4 million decrease in average balances and a 40-basis point decrease in yield. The yield on total earning assets increased to 5.21% from 5.12% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total interest expense decreased $163 thousand and was primarily attributable to a $133 thousand, or 4%, decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $27 thousand decrease in interest expense on long term borrowings. The decrease in interest expense on deposits resulted from a 2-basis point decrease in the cost of deposits, which was partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in average balances. The decrease in interest expense on long term borrowings was primarily attributable to a lower average balance of other borrowings in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The total cost of funds was 1.79% for the first quarter, which was a 5-basis point decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income totaled $1.8 million for the first quarter, which was a $159 thousand, or 10%, increase over the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding net losses on sales of securities from the fourth quarter of 2024, total noninterest income would have decreased in the first quarter by $238 thousand, or 12%, primarily from a $79 thousand decrease in wealth and investment income and a $108 thousand decrease in secondary market mortgage income. Secondary market mortgage income decreased from lower demand for mortgage loans, while wealth and investment income decreased from lower estate fee income.

Net losses on the sale of securities available for sale totaled $397 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted from repositioning the investment portfolio by selling lower yielding securities and reinvesting the proceeds in higher yielding securities. The sales and reinvestment of securities decreased the risk of lower earnings in falling interest rate environments and increased interest income on securities in the first quarter of 2025.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expenses totaled $6.2 million for the first quarter, which was a $79 thousand, or 1%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $59 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $53 thousand decrease in other professional fees, and a $48 thousand decrease in other operating expenses. The decreases were partially offset by a $36 thousand increase in occupancy expense, a $24 thousand increase in equipment expense, and a $24 thousand increase in printing, stationery, and supplies expense.
