MCLEAN, Va., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Freedom Financial Holdings (OTCQX: FDVA), (the "Company" or "Freedom"), the holding company for The Freedom Bank of Virginia (the "Bank") today announced net income of $1,160,338 or $0.16 per diluted share for the first quarter compared to a net loss of $3,567,973, or $0.50 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and net income of $2,019,348 or $0.28 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Comparisons to prior quarters are challenging since the fourth quarter of 2025 included an unexpected $6.9 million credit provision and the first quarter of 2025 included the non-recurring recovery and recognition of almost $1.04 million of interest income from previously charged off loans and recovery of legal expenses, which contributed almost $0.12 per diluted share that quarter.
Joseph J. Thomas, President, and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to start off 2026, our 25th anniversary year, with favorable net income trends, improving net interest margin, and stabilizing credit quality. Net income increased $4.728 million after last quarter's loss on the recognition of a $6.9 million credit provision. We continue to see improvement in our cost of funds dropping 15 basis points in the first quarter, enabling net interest margin expansion of 3 basis points to 2.73%. Despite the changing and uncertain economic environment, we continue to see improvement in the credit quality of our loan portfolio with non-accrual loans down 28% to $19.2 million. Our entire team is working hard to grow loans and we experienced a 2.97% increase in net loans in the quarter including growth in the Held for Sale mortgage portfolio. We were pleased with the increase in mortgage activity with gain on sale and fee revenue that increased by 30% to $942,257 in the first quarter of 2026 from $680,766 in the fourth quarter of 2025 as mortgage rates decreased. Our team is taking the steps necessary to help clients manage through higher rates and inflation, changes in credit markets, and increasing technology risks and opportunities.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights include:
Net Interest Income
The Company recorded net interest income of $6.895 million for the first quarter of 2026, higher by 2.97% compared to the linked quarter, and lower by 10.68% compared to the same period in 2025. The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 2.73%, higher by 3 basis points compared to the linked quarter and lower by 30 basis points compared to the same period in 2025.
The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the linked and calendar quarters.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.4 million for the first quarter, an increase of 20% when compared to the linked quarter and an increase of 44% when compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in non-interest income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the linked quarter and the prior calendar quarter was due to higher revenue from the gain on sale of mortgage loans.
Total Revenue4
Total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest income, before provision for loan losses, and non-interest income, was higher by 5.47% compared to the linked quarter and lower by 4.5% compared to the calendar quarter in 2025. The increase in total revenue compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase in the net interest margin, contributing to the increase of $199 thousand in net interest income over the linked quarter and $232 thousand in increased non-interest income largely from the gain on sale of residential mortgages. The decrease compared to the prior calendar quarter is due to the extraordinary recovery of $1.04 million of previously uncollected interest from problem loan resolutions.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense in the first quarter increased by $1.19 million or by 21.14% compared to the linked quarter and increased by 12.96% compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in expenses compared to the linked quarter was largely related to accrual expenses for annual bonuses that were curtailed in the prior quarter given the net loss experienced, and increased expenses related to increased mortgage activity, including commission expense, appraisal fees, and lender credits. Salary expenses are up due to annual raises taking effect and increased hiring related to the opening of the new location in Tysons Corner, VA. The new location resulted in additional occupancy expenses related to pre-opening, and the Bank also experienced annual escalations in our other leased locations and from lease renewals. Health insurance premiums have risen over the rates paid in 2025. We also increased our marketing expenses related to promoting the new location and planning for our 25th anniversary year.
The Efficiency Ratio2 was 81.88% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 71.29% for the linked quarter and 69.22% for the same period in 2025.
Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans decreased in the first quarter and were 2.46% of loans held-for-investment compared to 3.51% of loans held-for-investment at the end of the linked quarter as we recognized charge-offs. Total non-performing assets (defined as the sum of loans on non-accrual, loans greater than 90 days past due and accruing, and OREO assets) were 1.95% of total assets as of March 31, 2026, compared to 2.51% of total assets, at the end of the linked quarter.
The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $59,336, primarily related to changes in the overall portfolio, including loan growth.
The Company's ratio of Allowance for Loan Losses to loans held-for-investment was 1.00% as of March 31, 2026, compared to the ratio of Allowance for Loan Losses to loans held-for-investment of 1.82% as of December 31, 2025.
Total Assets
Total assets on March 31, 2026, were $1.053 billion compared to total assets of $1.065 billion on December 31, 2025. Changes in major asset categories since December 31, 2025, were as follows:
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities on March 31, 2026, were $968.58 million compared to total liabilities of $981.79 million on December 31, 2025. Total deposits were $917.36 million on March 31, 2026, compared to total deposits of $914.26 million on December 31, 2025. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $178 thousand during the first quarter and comprised 16.28% of total deposits at the end of the first quarter. Other core interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $31.8 million and core time deposits decreased by $2.3 million during the quarter. Brokered Deposits increased by $37.4 million while Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased by $20.0 million.
Stockholders' Equity and Capital
Stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2026, was $84.25 million compared to $84.14 million on December 31, 2025. AOCI decreased during the first quarter as there was an increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to rising interest rates in the quarter. The tangible book value of the Company's common stock on March 31, 2026, was $12.08 per share compared to $12.05 on December 31, 2025. Excluding AOCI losses/gains5, the tangible book value of the Company's common stock on March 31, 2026, was $14.18 per share compared to $14.08 on December 31, 2025.
Stock Buyback Program
In the first quarter, the Company purchased 43,800 shares pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased 43,800 of the 250,000 shares currently authorized for repurchase under the program that was approved at the end of 2025. The Company purchased 29,400 shares in the fourth quarter of 2025 under its previous authorized program. Our Board of Directors continues to believe that the share buyback program represents a disciplined capital management strategy for the Company.
