Income Statement Review

Total net income for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 was $4.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively.  Net income was $6.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net income decreased $1.3 million or 22.4% from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and decreased $1.9 million or 29.9% from the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was due to a decrease in net interest income as well as an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. These changes are discussed below in greater detail. The decrease from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to the sale-leaseback transaction of our OTC branch in Winchester, during the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the net of tax effected impact of the $3.9 million gain recognized during the fourth quarter of 2024 from the sales-leaseback transaction, adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $3.1 million. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Performance Highlights" table for additional information. The increase in net income for the quarter ended  December 31, 2025 compared to the as-adjusted quarter ended December 31, 2024 was due to several factors. Wealth management fee income increased by $919 thousand as well as net interest income, which increased by $2.9 million. These increases were partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses of $2.0 million. These changes are discussed below in greater detail

Total loan interest income was $21.3 million and $20.7 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Total loan interest income was $21.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Total loan interest income increased $546 thousand or 2.6% from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Average loans increased by $18.9 million or 1.3% from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The tax equivalent yield on average loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was 5.76%, an increase of eight basis points from the 5.68% average yield for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The slight increase in loan interest income between the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was mainly due to an increase in interest rates offset partially by a lower level of outstanding loans. The tax equivalent yield on average loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was 5.76%, an increase of six basis points from the 5.70% average yield for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Average loans decreased by $12.1 million or 0.82% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Early during the first quarter of 2025, ahead of its public offering, the Company sold a pool of mortgage loans at par in order to bolster on-balance sheet liquidity. This pool had a total balance of $18.8 million with a weighted average yield of 6.58%.  

Interest and dividend income from the investment portfolio was $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Interest and dividend income from the investment portfolio was $879 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The tax equivalent yield on average investments for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was 4.25%, down five basis points from 4.30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and up 168 basis points from 2.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase in yield was due largely to lower yielding investments sold during the first quarter of 2025 being replaced with higher yielding securities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, $99.2 million in securities were sold with a weighted average yield of 1.72%. During the same quarter, $76.0 million in securities were purchased. Of the $76.0 million in securities purchased, $66.0 million were purchased as a part of the executed balance sheet repositioning with a weighted average yield of 4.72%. 

Total interest expense was $8.4 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively and $10.5 million for three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in interest expense between the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was largely due to a $1.2 million decrease in FHLB interest expense. The average balance of FHLB advances decreased $101.7 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to the same period in 2025. The decrease was also partially attributable to lower interest expense on deposits by $970 thousand for the same comparative periods. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $11.2 million during this time period but the average yield paid on these deposits decreased by 37 basis points for the same period. The decrease in interest expense between the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was due to lower interest expense on deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.6 million during this time period.  

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $16.4 million reflecting a decrease of 4.8% from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and an increase of 21.3% from the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net interest income was $17.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The net interest margin was 3.61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. For the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net interest margin was 3.58% and 3.03%, respectively. The increases in the net interest margin from September 30, 2025 was mainly due to the increase in loans combined with the increase in loan rates during the quarter. The increase in the net interest margin from  December 31, 2024 can be attributed to several factors. The net interest spread increased to 2.74% at December 31, 2025 from 2.21% at December 31, 2024, respectively. Both the repositioning of the securities portfolio and the run off of higher interest bearing non core deposits during the period had a positive impact to the net interest margin.

The Company's net interest margin is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial services industry to determine how profitable earning assets are funded. The Company's net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the amounts that are non-taxable (i.e., municipal income) then subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 21%. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the "Reconciliation of Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income" table for additional information.

Total noninterest income was $5.4 million and $5.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 respectively. Total noninterest income was $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase in total noninterest income when comparing the fourth quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2025 is mainly due to the increase in wealth management fee income by $472 thousand or 25.8%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease to gain on sale of loans held for sale of $182 thousand due to a lower volume of SBA loan sales during the fourth quarter of 2025. When comparing the fourth quarter of 2025 to the same quarter of 2024, wealth management fee income increased by $919 thousand or 66.7% which was more than offset by the $3.9 million gain on sale from the sale-leaseback transaction of our OTC branch in Winchester, during the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, small business investment company income was $435 thousand lower in the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Wealth management fee income is comprised of income from fiduciary activities as well as commissions from the sale of non-deposit investment products. The amount of income from fiduciary activities is determined by the number of active accounts and total assets under management which has increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.  Additionally, per transaction fees for estates and other services have also contributed to the increase in revenue.

Noninterest expense increased $1.2 million, or 8.3%, to $15.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from $14.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Noninterest expense was $13.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $2.0 million or 14.6% when comparing to the quarter ended December 31, 2025.  Salaries and benefits expense increased $745 thousand or 8.5% between December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, largely due to increased incentive accruals resulting from additional plan metrics reaching payout levels during the quarter.   Salaries and benefits expense increased $1.5 million or 18.7% between December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in the number of employees as well as increased incentive accruals. Full time equivalent employees were 254 and 231 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, other real estate owned (foreclosed properties), and repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets increased slightly from $14.3 million or 0.74% of total assets at September 30, 2025 to $14.6 million or 0.77% of total assets at December 31, 2025. This increase was due to the addition of one $2.1 million commercial and industrial relationship to nonaccrual status which was partially offset by the sale of several other real estate owned and repossessed assets during the fourth quarter. Based on a recent valuation, the Bank believes that there is sufficient collateral to cover the entirety of the outstanding balance of the new nonaccrual relationship. Nonperforming assets were $3.0 million or 0.16% of total assets at December 31, 2024. Nonperforming assets increased as of December 31, 2025 in comparison to December 31, 2024 mainly due to two large relationships being placed in nonaccrual status during the first quarter of 2025 and one large relationship being placed in nonaccrual status during the fourth quarter of 2025.  These three relationships had a total balance of $9.7 million as of  December 31, 2025.

The first large relationship placed into nonaccrual status during the first quarter of 2025 had an outstanding balance of $2.2 million as of December 31, 2025 and was a partially owner-occupied property whose owner passed away unexpectedly causing the business to halt. The courts have assigned an executor of the estate, and the Bank has filed and been found in favor on summary judgment. This permits the Bank to move forward with the foreclosure process. Based on a recent appraisal, the Bank believes that there is sufficient collateral to cover the entirety of the outstanding balance of the loan.

The second large relationship placed into nonaccrual status during the first quarter was comprised of four residential multifamily income producing properties in Washington D.C. (the District) with a current combined exposure of approximately $5.5 million. The largest of the four properties had a corresponding loan balance of $5.9 million at June 30, 2025. This property was offered for sale on July 8, 2025, for $5.7 million with the Bank agreeing to a short sale of $4.8 million, thereby creating a deficiency balance of $1.1 million after consideration of past due taxes and other costs. The property owner has entered into an agreement with the Bank to pay back the deficiency balance and the Bank has collateralized this note with the property owner's remaining three properties, as well as a third deed of trust on two additional properties, as a condition of the aforementioned short sale. The Bank charged-off the full amount of the deficiency balance during the third quarter of 2025 due to the unlikelihood of repayment and the limited amount of remaining collateral value and will now be working through recovery on the collateralized properties. Concurrently, the Bank has been granted receivership on the remaining three properties. The Bank is now actively working with the receiver to update the properties and ready them for sale while continuing to collect the housing payments directly from the District. The remaining properties in non-accrual status have been written down to their current estimated values and the Bank is working through its normal work-out process. The Bank does not anticipate having to make any further significant write-downs on these three properties.

The large relationship placed into nonaccrual status during the fourth quarter of 2025 had an outstanding balance of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The Bank's portion is part of a larger syndicated loan, with the Bank's portion being 0.31% of the total loan commitment. The borrower is currently under a forbearance agreement, for financial covenant violations and past due payments. The borrower's new management team along with the lead bank continue to work on a restructuring of the business. Performance has improved with the new management team in place. Based on most recent business valuation, the Bank believes there is sufficient collateral to cover the entirety of the outstanding balance of the loan. The Bank will continue to closely monitor this relationship.

The majority of all nonaccrual loans are secured by real estate and management evaluates the financial condition of these borrowers and the value of any collateral on these loans. The results of these evaluations are used to estimate the amount of losses which may be realized on the disposition of these nonaccrual loans. Specific reserves on nonaccrual loans totaled $467 thousand, $418 thousand and $248 thousand as of December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company realized $237 thousand in net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, $486 thousand in net charge-offs were recognized. The majority of the charge-offs recognized during the third quarter of 2025 were for the $1.1 million deficiency balance discussed above along with a $468 thousand write-down on a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan. 

The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.04% and 1.01% at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The 3 basis point increase in the allowance for credit losses to total loans between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025 was largely due to slight increases in both the overall quantitative and qualitative factors due mainly to increased loss rates. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.02% at December 31, 2024. The amount of provision for credit losses on loans reflects the results of the Bank's analysis used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The Company recorded $747 thousand in provision for credit losses on loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company recognized provision for credit losses on loans of $1.1 million and $210 thousand for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The higher provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was mainly due to the larger net charge-offs during the quarter. This was partially offset by the reduction in specific allocations needed at quarter end. Net charge-off levels were lower during the fourth quarter of 2025. Management's judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. The Company is committed to maintaining an allowance at a level that adequately reflects expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio.

Balance Sheet

Total consolidated assets of the Company at December 31, 2025 were $1.89 billion, which represented a decrease of $43.8 million or 2.27% from total assets of $1.93 billion at September 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, total consolidated assets were $1.87 billion. Total assets decreased during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $50.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were at a lower level as of December 31, 2025 due to declines in deposits during the quarter. See below for further discussion on deposits.

Total net loans increased $12.6 million from $1.45 billion at September 30, 2025 to $1.46 billion at December 31, 2025 driven largely by the growth of commercial real estate loans of $8.8 million and commercial and industrial loans of $9.8 million and partially offset by marine loan amortization. Numerous commercial real estate owner-occupied  and non owner-occupied loans were originated during the fourth quarter totaling approximately $15.5 million and $14.5 million, respectively. These originations were partially offset by paydowns and payoffs in the normal course of business. Commercial and industrial loans originated during the fourth quarter of 2025 had an outstanding balance of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2025. In addition to  these originations, there were some increases to the usage of commercial lines of credit. 

Total deposits decreased to $1.61 billion as of December 31, 2025 when compared to September 30, 2025 deposits of $1.66 billion. At December 31, 2024 total deposits were $1.58 billion. During the second quarter of 2025, total deposits increased $152.7 million. The majority of this increase was due to large deposits in non-interest bearing accounts totaling $151.7 million during the quarter and is primarily related to sales proceeds of two customer's businesses. During the third quarter of 2025, $72.4 million of these funds left the bank, with $79.3 million still remaining at September 30, 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, $74.4 million of these funds left the bank leaving a remaining $4.9 million. This accounts for the majority of the decrease in total deposits during the quarter. Year over year deposits increased $32.2 million and the majority of the growth was in savings and interest bearing deposits. Core deposit change for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was a decrease of  $9.5 million and an increase of $5.4 million, respectively. Core deposits consist of checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts and time deposits less than $250 thousand.

Liquidity

The objective of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Uninsured deposits represent an estimate of amounts above the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's uninsured deposits were approximately $199.0 million or 12.4% of total deposits.

The Company's liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks, loans with a maturity less than one year and nonpledged securities available for sale, were $423.4 million and borrowing availability was $595.3 million as of December 31, 2025, which in total exceed uninsured deposits, excluding intercompany cash holdings and secured municipal deposits, by $819.7 million. Liquid assets have decreased by $44.3 million during the fourth quarter mainly due to a $50.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalent balance as discussed above. In addition to deposits, the Company utilizes short-term and long-term borrowings as sources of funds. Short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) as well as federal funds purchased from Community Bankers Bank may be used to fund the Company's day-to-day operations. Long-term borrowings include FHLB advances as well as subordinated debt. Total outstanding borrowings decreased to $69.6 million at December 31, 2025 from $149.5 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to deposit growth and higher levels of loan sales during the first quarter of 2025 enabling the payoff of borrowings. Borrowings remained stable from September 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities and the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit.  

Capital and Dividends

On January 21, 2026, the Board of Directors announced a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.31 per common share, payable on February 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 2, 2026. The Board of Directors of the Company continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings.  

Total consolidated equity increased $69.9 million to $188.9 million at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 and increased $3.3 million compared to September 30, 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed a public offering of common stock. A total of 1,796,875 shares were issued with net proceeds of $53.5 million.

The Company's securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities and their unrealized loss position is a result of increased market interest rates since they were purchased. The Company expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Company's securities available for sale decreased to $5.3 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $5.6 million at September 30, 2025 and decreased from $18.6 million at December 31, 2024. As part of a balance sheet repositioning as discussed above, the Bank sold available for sale debt securities with an amortized cost balance of $99.2 million (fair value of $86.8 million) and a weighted average yield of 1.72% and reinvested $66.0 million into purchases of available for sale debt securities with a weighted average yield of 4.70%. The sale of debt securities resulted in a net pre-tax realized loss of $12.4 million (after-tax of $9.8 million) that was recognized in the first quarter of 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank of Clarke as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized under regulations applicable at December 31, 2025, Bank of Clarke was required to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios. In addition to the regulatory risk-based capital requirements, Bank of Clarke must maintain a capital conservation buffer of additional capital of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets as required by the Basel III capital rules.  The Bank of Clarke exceeded these ratios at December 31, 2025.
