Fourth Quarter Highlights

Key highlights of the three-month period ending December 31, 2025, are as follows. Comparisons are to the three-month period ending September 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted:

• Net income increased 2%, and 31% year‑over‑year
• Return on assets was 0.97%
• Return on equity was 11.51%
• Loan balances increased 3% during the quarter, and increased 7% year-over-year
• Deposit balances decreased 2% as expected, but increased 8% year‑over‑year
• Asset quality metrics improved with nonperforming assets decreasing to zero
• Tangible book value per share increased 12% year‑over‑year to $19.88
• Quarterly cash dividend on common stock remained $0.13 per share

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, up 9% from the third quarter of 2025, and was attributable to an increase in average earning assets, an increase in net interest margin, and the recognition of interest income from the payoff of nonaccrual loans during the period. Net interest income was higher as total interest income increased by $527 thousand and total interest expense decreased by $193 thousand.

The increase in interest income was primarily the result of $405 thousand of interest income recognized from prior periods on nonaccrual loans that were paid off during the fourth quarter, as well as an increase in other interest and dividend income. Higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions resulted in an increase in other interest and dividend income. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the Bank's cost of deposits during the period.

The net interest margin, excluding the recognition of interest income on nonaccrual loans attributable to prior periods, increased slightly to 3.55% for the period, up from 3.54% for the third quarter of 2025.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $2.0 million for the fourth quarter, up 7% from the third quarter of 2025, reflecting higher wealth and investment income, gains and fees on mortgage loan sales, and increased service charges on deposits. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans totaled $443 thousand, which was up 9% over the third quarter of 2025 and totaled $1.4 million for the year, which was a 46% increase over the prior year.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $7.5 million for the fourth quarter, up 10% from the third quarter of 2025, with the linked-quarter increase primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits, marketing, other professional fees, and other operating costs. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to the addition of new employee positions and additional incentives related to exceeding performance goals. Incentive expense increased by $365 thousand in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2025. Marketing expenses, other professional fees, and other operating costs increased over the third quarter of 2025 and were impacted by expenses related to the Bank's renaming initiative. Renaming expenses totaled $154 thousand for the quarter compared to $82 thousand for the third quarter of 2025.

Asset Quality

Overview

Loans 30 to 89 days past due decreased slightly to $677 thousand, while loans over 90 days past due increased slightly from zero to $18 thousand at quarter end. Substandard loans decreased from $1.1 million to $455 thousand. Nonperforming assets decreased to zero during the fourth quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses totaled $250 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $200 thousand in the third quarter of 2025. Net charge-offs remained low at $18 thousand for the quarter, compared to $13 thousand in the third quarter of 2025. While there were no changes in the specific reserve component of the allowance for credit losses and remained at zero, the general reserve component increased during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily from growth of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $7.8 million, or 1.04% of total loans on December 31, 2025, compared to $7.5 million, or 1.03% of total loans on September 30, 2025.

The following table provides the changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans for the three-month periods ended:

Total (gross) loans increased $19.5 million, or 11% annualized, from the third quarter of 2025, while quarterly average loans decreased $4.0 million.

On a year-over-year basis, total loans increased $47.5 million, or 7%.

Deposits decreased $20.4 million from the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to noninterest-bearing deposits from one client's short-term escrow deposit made during the third quarter.

These increases were primarily driven by growth in retained earnings, which increased $1.8 million quarter-over-quarter and $6.8 million year-over-year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $194 thousand from the prior quarter and $2.1 million from the prior year.

There were no repurchases of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Renaming Initiative

On November 3, 2025, Bank of Charles Town was renamed Potomac Bank, reflecting the Bank's growth and expanding regional presence across the Potomac River region, while also better aligning its brand with the holding company. The transition was a natural progression that honored the Bank's heritage and values while celebrating the shared connection that unites the Bank's identity with its clients, employees, communities, and shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this release.
