"IntraFi Cash Service® (ICS®) One-Way Sell® deposits moved off the Company’s balance sheet"
net interest margin financial
"The net interest margin was 3.45% in the second quarter of 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
efficiency ratio financial
"Efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio financial
"the Company reported a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 49.46%"
A Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio measures a bank’s core financial cushion—its highest-quality capital such as common equity—relative to the size and risk of its assets, where riskier loans count for more. Think of it as the safety margin a bank keeps against losses compared to the amount and riskiness of what it owns; investors use it to judge a bank’s solvency, regulatory strength, and ability to withstand shocks or sustain payouts.
assets under administration financial
"oversaw total assets under administration (“AUA”), a measure encompassing both managed and custodial assets"
Assets under administration (AUA) is the total market value of clients’ investments and accounts that a financial firm oversees for recordkeeping, reporting, and transaction processing without necessarily deciding how the money is invested. Think of it like a warehouse that stores and tracks other people’s goods: bigger AUA shows a firm’s scale, steady fee potential and client trust, so changes can signal growing business or client withdrawals that matter to investors.
double leverage ratio financial
"Double leverage ratio represents Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc.’s investment in Chain Bridge Bank"
A double leverage ratio measures how much a parent company has used borrowed money to finance its ownership stakes in its subsidiaries, typically expressed as the parent's investment in subsidiaries divided by the parent's own equity. It matters to investors because it reveals hidden or layered borrowing: a group can look moderately leveraged overall while the parent has taken on extra debt to fund subsidiary investments, increasing risk if cash flows weaken—like using one loan to buy another asset you already control.

Exhibit 99.1
Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
McLean, Virginia — July 28, 2026
Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: CBNA) (the “Company”), the holding company for Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026 and the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights (Three Months Ended June 30, 2026):
Consolidated Net Income: $9.5 million
Earnings Per Share: $1.45 per basic and diluted common share outstanding
Return on Average Equity: 21.20% (on an annualized basis)
Return on Average Assets: 1.90% (on an annualized basis)
Book Value Per Share: $27.99
Year-to-Date 2026 Financial Highlights (Six Months Ended June 30, 2026):
Consolidated Net Income: $16.6 million
Earnings Per Share: $2.53 per basic and diluted common share outstanding
Return on Average Equity: 18.94% (on an annualized basis)
Return on Average Assets: 1.75% (on an annualized basis)
Financial Performance
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $9.5 million, compared to $7.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Earnings per share was $1.45 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.08 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and $0.70 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The Company’s consolidated total deposits were $2.0 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2026 and $1.3 billion at June 30, 2025. IntraFi Cash Service® (ICS®) One-Way Sell® deposits moved off the Company’s balance sheet were $668.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $595.0 million at March 31, 2026 and $121.2 million at June 30, 2025. The increases were driven by changes in political organization deposit balances, as defined in the Company’s public filings, as well as growth in other deposit categories, such as 501(c)(4) social welfare organization deposits. Our political depositors typically exhibit heightened activity during the quarters leading up to a federal election, contributing to the increase in balance sheet deposits and One-Way Sell® deposits as of June 30, 2026 compared to March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
Net income was $9.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The quarter-over-quarter change was primarily due to a $2.1 million





increase in net interest income, coupled with a $404 thousand increase in deposit placement services income and an $800 thousand decrease in total noninterest expenses. These components were partially offset by a smaller recapture of credit losses, and a larger income tax expense arising from the overall increase in pretax income.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $4.9 million higher compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to a $5.3 million improvement in net interest income and a $1.9 million increase in deposit placement services income, with an offsetting $889 thousand increase in noninterest expense and a $1.3 million increase in income tax expense.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $16.6 million, compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by a $6.4 million increase in net interest income, along with a $3.4 million increase in deposit placement services income. The overall increase was partially reduced by a $2.2 million increase in noninterest expense and a $1.7 million increase in income tax expense.
Book Value Per Share
As of June 30, 2026, book value per share was $27.99, compared to $25.79 at December 31, 2025 and $23.92 at June 30, 2025.
Net income during the first six months of 2026 drove an increase in stockholders’ equity with a $16.6 million increase in retained earnings that was partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, reflecting reduced fair values across a higher balance of available for sale investment securities.
The year-over-year increase in stockholders’ equity of $26.7 million was driven by $26.6 million in earnings retained during the period.
Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $17.1 million, compared to $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin was 3.45% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.41% in the first quarter of 2026 and 3.39% in the second quarter of 2025.
Two primary factors drove the $2.1 million increase in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2026. First, deposit-driven cash inflows lifted the average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks by $131.5 million, generating $1.3 million of additional interest income. Second, income from the taxable investment securities portfolio grew $815 thousand. The portfolio was $74.8 million larger on average, reflecting the deployment of deposit growth into short-term, available for sale U.S. Treasury securities. The improvement in yield reflected these new investments, as well as reinvestment of maturing instruments into new securities with higher yields than those they replaced.
Driven by similar factors, net interest income increased by $5.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. Growth within the taxable investment securities portfolio, which was $308.1 million higher on average, together with yield improvements, resulted in additional interest income of $3.0
Page 2 of 8




million within this segment. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks, which were $306.2 million higher on average, generated $2.2 million of additional interest income, although declining yields partially tempered the increase. The year-over-year net interest margin increased from 3.39% to 3.45%, reflecting the larger volume of average interest-earning assets and the reduction in cost of funds from 0.31% to 0.14%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported higher net interest income of $32.0 million, compared to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, but a lower net interest margin of 3.43% for 2026, compared to 3.48% for 2025. Driving a $5.7 million increase in interest income, the average taxable investment securities portfolio balance increased $298.9 million, and the rate earned on those investments increased 31 basis points. Although the average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks grew by $130.8 million, the yield on these assets declined 77 basis points. The net effect was an increase in interest income from this segment of $674 thousand. These contributions from the Bank’s interest-bearing assets were further aided by a $72.3 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 17 basis point decline in the average cost of those liabilities, which together resulted in a $611 thousand decline in interest expense. Partially offsetting these components, interest income from the loan segment declined due to a $27.3 million decrease in average loan balances and a 15 basis point reduction in yield.
Despite an increase in net interest income, net interest margin decreased from 3.48% to 3.43% year-over-year because average interest-earning assets grew at a faster rate than net interest income.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.9 million, compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $828 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The second quarter 2026 deposit placement services income, which is driven by the volume of One-Way Sell® deposits placed at other banks through the ICS® network and the rates paid by ICS® for those deposits, was $2.1 million, compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $159 thousand in the second quarter of 2025.
Changes in One-Way Sell® deposits can occur in response to deposit seasonality, evolving balance sheet dynamics and available capital capacity. Deposit placement services income is also affected by changes in the rate paid by ICS® for One-Way Sell® deposits, which typically adjusts in a manner parallel to federal funds rate adjustments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, noninterest income was $5.4 million, compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Changes in One-Way Sell® deposits drove the year-over-year increase, pushing deposit placement services income from $292 thousand to $3.7 million, and income from trust and wealth management services further contributed to the overall growth.
Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.0 million, compared to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. A reduction in professional services fees primarily drove the decrease in noninterest expense compared to the first quarter of 2026. Relative to the second quarter of 2025, higher salaries from a larger workforce drove the majority of
Page 3 of 8




the increase in noninterest expense, while a decline in professional services fees partially offset the rise.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total noninterest expense was $16.9 million, compared to $14.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. Higher salaries and employment costs, as described above, primarily drove the increase.
Balance Sheet and Related Highlights
As of June 30, 2026:
Total assets were $2.2 billion, compared to $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2025.
Total deposits were $2.0 billion, compared to $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, and $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2025.
Total ICS® One-Way Sell® deposits were $668.0 million, compared to $359.9 million as of December 31, 2025, and $121.2 million as of June 30, 2025.
Interest-bearing reserves held at the Federal Reserve were $812.7 million, compared to $580.9 million as of December 31, 2025, and $364.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
The loan-to-deposit ratio was 13.70%, compared to 17.46% as of December 31, 2025, and 22.45% as of June 30, 2025.
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained at 0.00%, unchanged from December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s liquidity ratio was 94.03%, compared to 92.73% at March 31, 2026 and 88.21% at June 30, 2025. The liquidity ratio is calculated as the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus unpledged securities classified as investment grade, divided by total liabilities. Cash, cash equivalents, and unpledged securities totaled $1.9 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
Capital
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s tangible common equity to tangible total assets ratio was 8.38%, compared to 9.11% at March 31, 2026 and 10.86% at June 30, 2025. The ratio, calculated in accordance with GAAP, represents the ratio of common equity to total assets. The Company did not have any intangible assets or goodwill for the periods presented.
The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decline in this ratio primarily reflects deposit-driven asset growth, partially offset by an increase in stockholders’ equity.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company reported a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.39%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 49.46%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 50.45%. As of March 31, 2026, the
Page 4 of 8




Company reported a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.94%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 47.63%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 48.65%. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio stood at 11.45%, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at 43.48% and the total risk-based capital ratio at 44.64%. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases in the risk-based capital ratios reflect capital growth through retained earnings, which outpaced the growth in risk-weighted assets.
The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases in the Tier 1 leverage ratio are the result of asset growth caused by pre-election deposit inflows, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings.
Trust & Wealth Department
As of June 30, 2026, the Trust & Wealth Department oversaw total assets under administration (“AUA”), a measure encompassing both managed and custodial assets, of $772.8 million, which included $257.4 million in assets under management (“AUM”) and $515.4 million in assets under custody (“AUC”). This compares to $711.7 million in AUA as of March 31, 2026, which included $221.7 million in AUM and $490.1 million in AUC. As of June 30, 2025, AUA stood at $445.4 million, including $158.1 million in AUM and $287.3 million in AUC. The increase in AUA quarter-over-quarter reflects a combination of account additions and market appreciation, while account additions were the primary driver of the increase year-over-year. AUA are not captured on the consolidated balance sheets.
Trust and wealth management income, which has increased commensurately with AUM, was $501 thousand in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $434 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 and $305 thousand in the second quarter of 2025.
Political Organization Deposits
Historically, deposits from political organizations have typically increased in the periods leading up to federal elections, declined in the quarters around federal elections, and tended to rebuild gradually in the quarters following federal elections. Although the timing and magnitude of these flows have varied from cycle to cycle, such fluctuations are longstanding characteristics of the Company’s deposit base. For additional information regarding political organization deposit activity during 2025, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Through the second quarter of 2026, political organization deposit balances have continued to increase, contributing to the $719.6 million year-over-year increase in total consolidated deposits and the $546.8 million year-over-year increase in One-Way Sell® deposits as of June 30, 2026.
