FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 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 loss of $3,567,973 or $0.50 per diluted share for the fourth quarter compared to net income of $1,122,930 or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and net income of $1,156,906 or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was $374,197 or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $4,710,286 or $0.64 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Joseph J. Thomas, President, and CEO, commented, "Our core bank experienced strong financial results in the fourth quarter with pre-provision, pre-tax income¹ ("PPNR") for the fourth quarter of $2.2 million up 84.4% over fourth quarter of 2025 and 22.6% over third quarter 2025. Pre-provision, pre-tax income for the full year 2025 was $8.62 million and increase of 74.6% over 2024. In addition, the bank demonstrated positive momentum in the year, growing core deposits by $111MM, or 19%, and reducing higher cost, brokered funding by $97 million and borrowings by $25 million, which enabled improvement in our Net Interest margin by 35 bps, from 2.41% to 2.76% for the full year. In the fourth quarter alone, we increased C&I loan balances by 13.6% (now 23% of total loans) and Non-Interest Bearing Deposits by 18.0% (now 16% of total deposits). Through strong expense management, we also improved our efficiency ratio from 83.59% to 73.83%. Unfortunately, at the end of the year, we learned of adverse developments in a large, syndicated loan exposure for one commercial borrower originated in 2022. Based upon recent performance and provided projections, we downgraded the loan to non-accrual and set up a specific reserve of $5.925 million, which is 50% of our total exposure to correspond to and corresponds with the terms of the currently proposed corporate restructuring. We will continue to evaluate the credit to determine if this level of specific reserve remains appropriate as we evaluate workout and litigation strategies. This one particular credit issue does not represent a systemic issue or reflect other correlated risks with ongoing lending operations or local economy. The Bank's Total Risk Based Capital ratio increased to 15.08% at year-end compared to 14.35% at FYE 2024 and we remain well positioned form a liquidity standpoint at loan-to-deposit ratio of 83.4%. Our bank remains safe and sound and open for business to serve customers and communities and the improvement in core results over prior period reflects the outstanding work of employees across the company. Our Board of Directors authorized an additional 250,000 shares to repurchase under the Company's share buyback program and believes this represents a disciplined capital management strategy for our shareholders."

The cost of funds was 2.99% for the fourth quarter, lower by 20 basis points compared to the linked quarter and lower by 47 basis points compared to the same period in 2024, as deposit costs decreased for interest bearing demand deposits and borrowings, driven by the Federal Reserve's reductions to the Federal Funds rate and the Bank's ability to substitute core deposits for brokered funds and borrowings.

Non-interest income in the full year 2025 was higher by 1.61% compared to the prior year. The decrease in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to Service Charges and Other Income that included higher valuation gains related to SBIC investments in the third quarter, while the increase in non-interest income relative to the prior year was due to higher swap fee income and gain on sale of securities that also reside in that category.
Non-interest expense in the fourth quarter decreased by 11.27% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 13.2% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest expense for linked and calendar quarters was primarily due to lower expenses related to incentive compensation related to Bank's earnings performance, lower FDIC insurance expense due to the reduction in brokered deposits and lower advertising expense.
The Efficiency Ratio³ was 71.29% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 77.43% for the linked quarter and 84.07% for the same period in 2024. The Efficiency Ratio for the full year 2025 was 73.83% compared to 83.59% for the full year 2024.

The Company charged off $197 thousand of loans in the fourth quarter and charge offs to average loans decreased to 0.03% compared to 0.13% in the prior quarter. Total charge offs for the year of 2025 were $1.14 million or 0.15% of average loans.
The ratio of non-accrual loans to loans held-for-investment was 3.51% on December 31, 2025, compared to 1.78% on December 31, 2024. Eight of the loans that were on non-accrual include guaranteed portions of SBA loans, carrying the full faith and credit of the United States. Non-accrual loans with SBA guarantees totaled $11,474,689, supported by guarantees amounting to $9,128,683, or 80% guaranteed.
Following an assessment of the collectability of loans held-for-investment and investment securities, the Company had a provision for credit losses of $6,941,897 in the fourth quarter, which roughly doubled the allowance for credit losses from the prior quarter and the prior year, related almost entirely to one large syndicated loan that was placed on non-accrual in the quarter, where negotiations with the lead bank and the borrower are ongoing.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-for-investment was 1.82% compared to 0.96% in the linked quarter and 0.85% in the prior year.
The Bank continues to be well capitalized and capital ratios continue to be strong with a Leverage ratio of 11.05%, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.82%, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital ratio of 13.82% and a Total Capital ratio of 15.08%.

Net Interest Income
The Company recorded net interest income of $6.70 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, lower by 0.77% compared to the linked quarter, and higher by 4.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 2.70%, higher by 4 basis points compared to the linked quarter and higher by 26 basis points compared to the same period in 2024. The net interest margin for the full year 2025 was 2.76%, higher by 35 basis points compared to 2024.

The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the linked and calendar quarters.

Yields on average earning assets decreased to 5.55% compared to 5.72% in the linked quarter and 5.76% in the calendar quarter. Lower yields on cash, investment securities and loans, driven by the Federal Reserve's actions in 2025 to reduce the target Federal Funds rate drove the decrease in yields on earning assets as assets repriced. We also had to reverse out interest income related to additional nonaccrual loans that contributed to 12 basis points of yield reduction in the quarter.
Loan yields decreased by 24 basis points to 5.98% from 6.22% in the linked quarter, while yields on investment securities decreased by 6 basis points to 4.23% from 4.29% in the linked quarter. Loan yields decreased by 17 basis points, while yields on investment securities decreased by 46 basis points compared to the calendar quarter.
Cost of funds decreased by 20 basis points to 2.99% from 3.19% in the linked quarter and decreased by 47 basis points compared to the calendar quarter, primarily due to lower rates on interest checking and money market accounts and a reduction in borrowings during the current quarter.

The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the full year 2025 compared to the prior year:

Yields on average earning assets decreased by 10 basis points to 5.78% compared to 5.88% in the prior year, driven by lower yields on investments and interest earning cash balances.
Loan yields increased by 1 basis points to 6.28% from 6.27% in the prior year, while yields on investment securities decreased by 39 basis points to 4.37% from 4.76% in the prior year.
Cost of funds decreased by 46 basis points to 3.15%, from 3.61% in the prior year, on lower deposit and borrowing costs and the addition of core deposit and reduction of brokered funding.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.18 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 17.13% when compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of 7.15% when compared to the same period in 2024. Non-interest income in 2025 was higher by 1.61% compared to the prior year. The decrease in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher Service Charges and Other Income in the third quarter related to SBIC investments, while the decrease in non-interest income relative to the calendar quarter was due to lower gain-on-sale revenue from mortgage loans in the current quarter. The increase in non-interest income in 2025 was primarily due to higher swap fee income and gain on sale of securities.

Total Revenue³Total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest income, before provision for loan losses, and non-interest income, was lower by 3.65% compared to the linked quarter and higher by 2.35% compared to the calendar quarter in 2024. The decrease in revenue compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to the decrease in interest income stemming from one large loan going into non-accrual in the fourth quarter. The higher revenue compared to the calendar quarter was due to swap fee income and gain on sale of securities sold in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total revenue for the full year 2025 was higher by 9.51% compared to 2024, primarily due to net interest margin expansion related to lower funding costs in 2025.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense in the fourth quarter decreased by 11.27% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 13.20% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest expense for linked and calendar quarters was primarily due to a combination of lower expenses related to incentive compensation, advertising, and FDIC insurance. Non-interest expense for the full year 2025 was lower by 3.27% compared to the prior year, primarily due to previously mentioned factors and also lower professional fees.

The Efficiency Ratio was 71.29% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 77.43% for the linked quarter and 84.07% for the same period in 2024. The Efficiency Ratio for the full year 2025 was 73.83% compared to 83.59% for the full year 2024.

Eight of the loans that were on non-accrual include guaranteed portions of SBA loans, carrying the full faith and credit of the United States. Non-accrual loans with SBA guarantees totaled $11,474,689, supported by guarantees amounting to $9,128,683, or 80% guaranteed. Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") was $1,302,801 as of December 31, 2025.
