MVB Financial Corp. Announces Investment Securities Repositioning Strategy

FAIRMONT, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MVBF) (“MVB Financial,” “MVB” or the “Company”), the holding company for MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), today announced the implementation of an investment securities repositioning strategy that included the sale of approximately $73 million in book value of available-for-sale investment securities.

The securities sold had a weighted-average tax-equivalent yield of 1.70% and a weighted-average life of approximately 9.6 years. The investment securities sold included $49 million of municipal securities, $15 million of U.S. sponsored mortgage-backed securities and $9 million of U.S. government agency securities. The sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $7.6 million, which will be recognized in the Company’s third quarter 2025 financial results. The Bank expects to redeploy proceeds into higher-yielding securities that align with the Company’s current risk and asset/liability management objectives.

From Larry F. Mazza, President and Chief Executive Officer, MVB Financial:

“This repositioning accelerates our path to stronger earnings and positions MVB for enhanced profitability,” said Larry F. Mazza, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The securities repositioning, combined with the expense efficiencies from our recently announced sale of Victor Technologies, are expected to add approximately $0.30 to $0.35 to earnings per share on an annualized basis. We believe this repositioning represents an attractive use of capital that enhances shareholder value, while better aligning our balance sheet with our strategic objectives.”

Financial Impact:

The loss on the securities sale is expected to have a neutral impact on consolidated shareholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, as unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are already reflected in shareholders’ equity. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios are expected to remain well above well-capitalized thresholds. Additional details will be provided in the Company’s third quarter earnings release.
