First Community Bankshares Q3 profit rises to $15.4M
Early adoption for Hometown-acquired loans meant FCBC was not required to recognize a $2.98 million provision expense that otherwise would have been recorded.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
First Community Bankshares, Inc. reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $15.423 million, compared with $12.266 million a year earlier. Nine-month net income was $49.963 million, versus $36.329 million, while nine-month net interest income was $104.034 million, compared with $92.252 million. At September 30, 2026, total assets were $3,633.679 million, deposits were $3,028.884 million, and loans held for investment, net of unearned income, were $2,477.419 million.
The company completed its merger with Hometown Bancshares, Inc. on January 23, 2026. Each outstanding Hometown common share converted into the right to receive 11.706 FCBC common shares, plus cash, without interest, in lieu of fractional shares; FCBC issued 1,029,314 common shares. The company recognized $1.73 million of goodwill and $8.59 million of core deposit intangibles. Merger expenses totaled $5.22 million, including $2.31 million recorded in the first quarter of 2026.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
Positive

Filing Explained
Early adoption for acquired loans kept $2.98 million of otherwise-recorded provision expense out of reported nine-month results.
For the nine months ended
The filing records the repurchases as reducing shares outstanding, but the reported total rose from 18,334,787 at December 31, 2025, to 18,916,116 at September 30, 2026. The company also says early adoption of loan-accounting guidance for loans acquired in the Hometown merger meant it did not recognize

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:
| ● |
inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; |
| ● | the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations including tariffs or changes in trade policies; | |
| ● |
the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System; |
| ● |
timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; |
| ● |
the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa; |
| ● |

| ● |
technological changes; |
| ● | the effects of developments in cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and other digital assets, including changes in regulations, market acceptance, cybersecurity risks, and customer demand for related products and services; | |
| ● | the impact of prolonged federal government shutdowns; | |
| ● |
the cost and effects of cyber incidents or other failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our systems or those of third-party providers; |
|
| ● | the effect of continued changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; |
| ● |
the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; |
| ● |
the sustainability of noninterest or fee income being less than expected; |
| ● |
unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; |
| ● |
changes in consumer spending and saving habits; |
| ● | increased or expanded competition from banks and other financial service providers in the Company's markets; | |
| ● | the Company's ability to effectively manage its liquidity and maintain adequate regulatory capital to support its business; | |
| ● | risks related to the development and use of artificial intelligence; | |
| ● | the effectiveness of the Company's risk management processes strategies and monitoring; and | |
| ● |
the Company’s success at managing the risks mentioned above. |
This list of important factors is not exclusive. If one or more of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements proves incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
General
First Community Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, was founded in 1989 and reincorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company’s principal executive office is located in Bluefield, Virginia. The Company provides banking products and services to individual and commercial customers through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution founded in 1874. The Bank offers wealth management and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management. Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of all operations, including commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, and wealth management. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, and disclosures for a fair presentation.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or net cash flow.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies as presented in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K remain unchanged except for the following recent accounting standards adopted described below.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-08, "Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans". The amendment simplifies accounting for acquired loans under the current expected credit losses (CECL) model by expanding use of the gross-up method to a new category of purchased seasonal loans (PSLs). PSLs are acquired loans purchased more than 90 days after origination or acquired in a business combination. For PSLs, an allowance for credit loss is to be recorded at acquisition with an equal increase to amortized cost and remove credit loss expense on acquisition date. The ASU does not apply to credit cards, Topic 606 trade receivables, and debt securities. ASU 2025-08 requires entities to apply the amendments prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date and does not require retrospective restatement of prior periods. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, an early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2025-08 in connection with its merger of Hometown Bancshares, Inc., which was completed on January 23, 2026. The Company applied the guidance prospectively to loans acquired in the transaction and will apply the guidance to any subsequent acquisitions occurring on or after initial adoption. Due to the adoption of the standard the Company was not required to recognize a $
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets". This amendment introduces a practical expedient available to all entities that permits an entity to assume that existing economic conditions at the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets, rather than developing a full forward-looking forecast. The Company adopted this ASU on March 31, 2026, on prospective basis. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative". The amendment amends the disclosure or presentation requirements and provides clarifications or technical corrections to a variety of topics within the Codification pursuant to matters identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its August 2018 Release No. 33-10532, "Disclosure Update and Simplification". The ASU's effective date is contingent on SEC actions, with implementation expected no later than June 30, 2027. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 230): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". The amendment requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Accordingly, the Company expects to adopt the standard in its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027, and in interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Modernizing Internal-Use Software Accounting". The amendment amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40 by eliminating prospective project stages and requires capitalization of internal-use software costs only after 1) management authorizes and commits to funding the project and 2) it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. Entities also must evaluate and, if present, resolve significant development uncertainty, limited to 1) novel or unproven functionality not yet resolved through coding and testing and 2) situations in which significant performance requirements have not been identified or continue to be substantially revised. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, "Derivative Accounting and Customer Share-Based Noncash Consideration". The amendment refines Topic 815 by excluding from derivative accounting any non-exchange-traded contracts whose underlying's are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties with certain scooping exceptions. Clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer in a revenue contract is accounted for under Topic 606 until the right to receive or retain that consideration is unconditional, at which point other Topics apply. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Hedge Accounting". The amendment amends ASC Topic 815 to clarify, improve, and better align hedge accounting guidance with entities' economic risk management strategies and address implementation challenges in practice. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU-2025-10, "Accounting for Government Grants". This amendment establishes the authoritative guidance for business entities on accounting for government grants, including definitions, recognition criteria based on a probable threshold, and models for both asset-related and income-related grants. Permits either a deferred income approach or a cost-accumulation approach for asset-related grants and requires expanded annual disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements". The amendment is to enhance the clarity, navigability, and application of interim reporting guidance in ASC Topic 270 without expanding or reducing the fundamental nature of the interim reporting framework. The amendments clarify when interim guidance applies, the form and content of interim financial statements, and the related disclosure requirements under GAAP. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, "Codification Improvements". The amendment consists of technical corrections, clarifications, and narrow-scope improvements that address unintended application issues and improve the clarity and usability of GAAP without making substantive changes to current accounting practice. The amendments are intended to reduce diversity in practice and correct errors or ambiguous provisions in the Codification. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The Company does not expect other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Acquisitions
After the close of business on January 23, 2026 (the "Effective Time"), the Company completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Hometown Bancshares, Inc. ("Hometown"), a West Virginia corporation headquartered in Middlebourne, West Virginia, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) dated July 19, 2025, by and between the company and Hometown. At the Effective Time, Hometown merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger.
Immediately following the Merger, Union Bank, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hometown, merged with and into First Community Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank Merger”), with First Community Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.
Pursuant to the Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Hometown was converted into the right to receive
Under the terms of the Agreement, all Hometown stock appreciation rights under a stock appreciation award (except certain stock appreciation rights that were unvested as of January 1, 2025) and all Hometown dividend equivalent rights granted under the Hometown Dividend Equivalent Incentive Plan that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent not vested, became fully vested, and were canceled. The holders of stock appreciation rights received a cash payment equal to the number determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any of (A) Average Closing Price (as defined in the Agreement) multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio over the applicable exercise price of the stock appreciation right, by (ii) the number of shares of Hometown common stock subject to the applicable stock appreciation right. The holders of dividend equivalent rights received a cash payment equal to the account value of the applicable dividend rights award. The stock appreciation rights that are unvested as of January 1, 2025, were assumed by the Company.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to a year after the closing date of the acquisition. The Company incurred a total of $
Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less the fair value of the liabilities assumed. The Hometown acquisition resulted in the Company recognizing $
The primary identifiable intangible asset we typically record in connection with a whole bank or bank branch acquisition is the value of the core deposit intangibles which represents the estimated value of the long-term deposit relationships acquired in the transaction. Determining the amount of identifiable intangible assets and their average lives involves multiple assumptions and estimates and is typically determined by performing a discounted cash flow analysis, which involves a combination of any or all of the following assumptions: customer attrition/runoff, alternative funding costs, deposit servicing costs, and discount rates. The core deposit intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the deposit accounts based on a method that we believe reasonably approximates the anticipated benefit stream from this intangible. Core deposit intangibles for the Hometown transaction totaled $
When loans are acquired, due to the adoption of ASU 2025-08 in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 (CECL), the Company classifies acquired loans as either purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”), purchased seasoned loans (“PSL”), or other non-PCD loans at the acquisition date. PCD loans, representing assets with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination, and PSL loans, which meet the criteria for application of the gross-up approach under the new guidance, are both recorded by recognizing an allowance for credit losses as an adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the loans at acquisition, resulting in no initial impact to earnings. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses for these loans are recognized through provision expense in the periods in which they occur. Loans that do not meet the definition of PCD or PSL are recorded at fair value, typically determined using a discounted cash flow methodology incorporating assumptions such as discount rates, expected lives, prepayments, probability of default, and loss given default, with any resulting discount accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. An allowance for credit losses on these non-PCD loans is recognized through provision expense in the period of acquisition. This framework aligns the accounting for acquired loans more closely with their underlying credit characteristics while reducing earnings volatility at acquisition. The fair value of purchased loans with credit deterioration was $

Management evaluates securities for impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses and the creation of an allowance for credit losses. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including looking at default and delinquency rates, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) our intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or for a debt security whether it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovering its fair value, (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates, (6) credit ratings, (7) third party guarantees, and (8) collateral values. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. All of the U.S. Treasury and Agency-Backed Securities have the full faith and credit backing of the United States Government or one of its agencies. Municipal securities and all other securities that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. All debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2026, continue to perform as scheduled and we do not believe that there is a credit loss or that a provision for credit losses is necessary. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, we consider our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. We do not currently intend to sell the securities within the portfolio, and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt securities.
Management continues to monitor all of our securities with a high degree of scrutiny. While no such determination has been made, future conditions may result in management concluding that certain securities should be sold or that a provision for credit losses should be recognized in earnings in future periods.

Note 5. Credit Quality
The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. Loan risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:
| ● | Pass -- This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity, leverage, and industry conditions. |
| ● | Special Mention -- This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen. |
| ● | Substandard -- This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. These loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business to meet repayment terms. |
| ● | Doubtful -- This grade is assigned to loans that have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined. |
| ● | Loss -- This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of payments, are uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value but simply means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. |

Loans are considered past due when either principal or interest payments become contractually delinquent by 30 days or more. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest, if warranted, on loans based on the payment status, evaluation of the related collateral, and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the loan is well secured and in process of collection. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest accrued and not collected in the current year is reversed from income, and interest accrued and not collected from prior years is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Nonaccrual loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due, including past due payments, are brought current; the ability of the borrower to repay the obligation is reasonably assured; and there is generally a period of at least six months of repayment performance by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms. There was no material nonaccrual loan interest recognized in income during the third quarter of 2026 or 2025.
The following tables present the aging of past due loans, by loan class, as of the dates indicated. Nonaccrual loans 30 days or more past due are included in the applicable delinquency category:

ASC 326 prescribes that when an entity determines foreclosure is probable, the expected credit loss can be measured based on the fair value of the collateral. As a practical expedient, an entity may use the fair value as of the reporting date when recording the net carrying amount of the asset. For the collateral dependent asset ("CDA") a credit loss expense is recorded for loan amounts in excess of fair value of the collateral. The Company had no collateral-dependent loans as of September 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025.
The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. There were no modified loans (or portions of a loan) deemed uncollectible as of September 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025.
The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table depicts the performance of loans that have been modified for the periods indicated:

Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors will adversely affect economic value or net interest income.
The Company has used interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in benchmark interest rates in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between the floating rate and the stated fixed rate. If SOFR is above the stated rate for a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between the floating rate and the stated fixed rate.
The Company's interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, fair value changes in the derivative and hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. The fair value hedges were effective as of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
The following table presents the notional, or contractual, amounts and fair values of derivative instruments as of the dates indicated:

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains two nonqualified domestic, noncontributory defined benefit plans (the “Benefit Plans”) for key members of senior management and non-management directors. The Company’s unfunded Benefit Plans include the Supplemental Executive Retention Plan ("SERP") and the Directors’ Supplemental Retirement Plan ("Director Plan"). The SERP was frozen near the end of 2021; the Director Plan was fundamentally frozen at that time as well.

Note 13. Fair Value
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy ranks the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets |
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability |
| ● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions |
The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might be highly subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the valuation hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available-for-sale Debt Securities
Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair values of Level 3 securities are determined by applying proper market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Securities with increased uncertainty about the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of specific markets and the general economic indicators.
Equity Securities. Equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in Level 2.
Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment that are subject to a fair value hedge are reported at fair value derived from third-party models. Loans designated in fair value hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities. Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans is carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company obtains dealer quotes, Level 2 inputs, based on observable data to value derivatives.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Collateral Dependent Loans and OREO: The fair value of collateral-dependent loans and OREO is measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs, which typically include appraised values of collateral that are adjusted for estimated selling costs and other qualitative factors.
The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, by the level of valuation inputs in the fair value hierarchy, as the date indicated. The Company had no collateral-dependent loans or OREO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2025.

Note 14. Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies
Litigation
We are currently a defendant in legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each matter with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn on, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of each customer on a case-by-case basis. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations may require management to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Due to the level of subjectivity and the susceptibility of such matters to change, actual results could differ significantly from management’s assumptions and estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which are periodically evaluated, are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve, or when an asset or liability needs recorded based on the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices, when available, or third-party sources. When quoted prices or third-party information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.
Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are detailed in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Performance Overview
Highlights of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and financial condition as of September 30, 2026, include the following:
| ● |
Net income for the third quarter of 2026 increased $3.16 million, or 25.74%, to $15.42 million, compared with $12.27 million for the third quarter of 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, net income reached a record $49.96 million, surpassing the previous nine-month record of $40.61 million reported in 2021 and increasing $13.63 million compared with the first nine months of 2025. | |
| ● | Excluding merger-related and other non-recurring items, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2026 was $14.74 million, an increase of $1.84 million, or 14.23%, from the same period in 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) totaled $42.79 million, an increase of $5.82 million, or 15.76%, compared to the same time period of 2025. Significant non-recurring pre-tax items during 2026 included a $10.38 million gain on the sale of the Company's stake in Bearing Insurance and merger-related costs of $2.31million. | |
| ● | Net interest margin increased 3 basis points to 4.46% for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 4.43% for the third quarter of 2025. Net interest rate spread increased 10 basis points to 4.16%, contributing to a $4.62 million, or 14.72%, increase in tax-equivalent net interest income. The improvement was primarily driven by an increase in average earning assets and lower funding costs. Average earning assets increased $390.91 million, or 13.89%, contributing $4.56 million in additional interest income, while the cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 15 basis points. | |
| ● | Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $3.89 million, or 12.42%, compared with September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in average earning assets associated with the acquisition of Hometown Bancshares, completed in the first quarter of 2026. | |
| ● |
Noninterest income increased $1.76 million, or 16.14%, compared to the same quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting a combined $1.61 million increase in other operating income and other service charges and fees. Noninterest expense increased $1.66 million, or 6.32%, over the same period, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits of $955 thousand, or 6.66%, other operating expense of $471 thousand, or 13.95%, and amortization of intangibles of $401 thousand, or 92.61%. |
| ● | Annualized return on average assets ("ROA") increased to 1.69% for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 1.53% for the same quarter of 2025. Annualized return on average common equity ("ROE") increased to 11.23%, compared with 9.58% for the same period of 2025. | |
| ● | When adjusted for merger-related and other non-recurring items, adjusted ROA (non-GAAP) was 1.62% for the third quarter of 2026 and adjusted ROE (non-GAAP) was 10.73%. Return on average tangible common equity (non-GAAP) was 15.32%. | |
| ● | Consolidated assets totaled $3.63 billion at September 30, 2026. | |
| ● | The Company's loan portfolio increased $162.66 million, or 7.03% from year-end 2025. Excluding the Hometown acquisition, the loan portfolio decreased approximately $8.38 million, or 0.36%. However, loan production for the third quarter of 2026 was $125.59 million, compared to $88.84 million for the same quarter in 2025, a 41.37% increase. | |
| ● | The allowance for credit losses increased $1.88 million during the first nine months of 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the impact of the Hometown transaction. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.32% on September 30, 2026, compared to 1.33% on December 31, 2025, and 1.36% on September 30, 2025. | |
| ● | The Company did not repurchase any common shares in the third quarter of 2026 or 2025. However, 504,652 common shares at a total cost of $20.33 million were repurchased during the first quarter of 2026. | |
| ● | Total non-performing assets declined $1.03 million, or 6.09%, compared to the same period of 2025, reflecting continued improvement in asset quality and the second consecutive quarterly decline. | |
| ● | Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans improved to 0.64% on September 30, 2026, from 0.71% at September 30, 2025, a decrease of 7 basis points. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $696 thousand, or 0.11%, of annualized average loans, compared to $1.42 million, or 0.24%, of annualized average loans for the same period in 2025. The year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to $2.01 million of significant charge-offs recorded during the third quarter of 2025. | |
| ● | Book value per share on September 30, 2026, was $ 28.83, an increase of $1.53, or 5.60%, from year-end 2025. |

Three-Month Comparison.
Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $15.42 million, an increase of $3.16 million, or 25.74%, from $12.27 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net interest income and noninterest income. Interest income increased $4.51 million, or 12.62%, driven primarily by a $2.32 million increase in interest and fees on loans and a $1.15 million increase in income from taxable securities. Noninterest income increased $1.76 million, or 16.14%, primarily from a pre-tax gain of $902 thousand from the sale of bank property. These increases were partially offset by a $1.66 million, or 6.32%, increase in noninterest expense, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $955 thousand, increased other operating expense of $471 thousand, and higher amortization of intangible assets of $401 thousand.
Nine-Month Comparison.
Net income for the nine months of 2026, reached a record $49.96 million, surpassing the previous nine-month record of $40.61 million reported in 2021 and increasing $13.63 million compared with the first nine months of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a $10.38 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's interest in Bearing Insurance and a $10.28 million, or 11.14%, increase of net interest income after the provision for credit losses. These gains were offset by a $7.56 million, or 9.86%, increase in noninterest expense and a $4.07 million, or 38.13%, increase in income tax expense. Higher noninterest expense was primarily driven by increases in salaries and employee benefits, merger related expenses, other operating expenses, and amortization of intangibles.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, which represents the Company's primary source of earnings, is reviewed by management on both a GAAP basis and a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis (non-GAAP). Management believes presentation of net interest income on an FTE basis enhances comparability of income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and is a standard industry measure used by investors, analysts, and banking institutions in evaluating net interest margin, net interest rate spread and operating performance. For additional information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
The following tables present the consolidated average balance sheets and net interest analysis on an FTE basis for the dates indicated:

FTE basis based on the federal statutory rate of 21%. |
Three-Month Comparison. Net interest income represented 73.93% of total net interest and noninterest income in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 74.19% in the same quarter of 2025. On a GAAP basis, net interest income increased $4.57 million, or 14.60%, while on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis, it increased $4.62 million, or 14.72%. The FTE net interest margin increased three basis points, and the net interest spread increased ten basis points, or 2.46%. These improvements were primarily driven by growth in average interest- earning assets and lower funding costs.
Average earning assets increased by $390.91 million, or 13.89%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same time period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hometown, completed in a previous quarter. Although the average yield on earning assets declined 5 basis points, interest income increased by $4.56 million, or 12.74%, driven by higher average asset volumes. The average loan-to-deposit ratio decreased to 81.71% from 88.78% in the third quarter of 2025. Non-cash accretion income totaled $156 thousand, compared to $405 thousand in the prior-year period.
The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, increased by $279.07 million, or 15.79% during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. Despite the increase in funding balances, interest expense declined due to a 15-basis point, or 15.15%, reduction in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, resulting in a lower overall cost of funds.
Nine-Month Comparison. Net interest income represented 69.14% of total net interest and noninterest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 74.57% in the same period of 2025. On a GAAP basis, net interest income increased $11.78 million, or 12.77%, while on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis, it increased $11.94 million, or 12.90%. The FTE net interest margin increased 3 basis points, and the net interest spread increased 10 basis points, or 2.51%. These improvements were primarily driven by higher average interest-earning assets primarily attributable to the Hometown acquisition, as well as lower funding costs.
Average earning assets increased $345.84 million, or 12.24%, driven by increases of $148.60 million in interest-bearing deposits, $112.45 million in securities available-for-sale and $84.79 million in loans. Although the average yield on earning assets declined 6 basis points, interest income grew $11.50 million, or 10.79%, reflecting higher asset volumes. The average loan-to-deposit ratio decreased to 81.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 89.38% for the same period in 2025. Non-cash accretion income totaled $1.02 thousand compared to $1.39 thousand in the prior-year period.
Average interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, increased $260.95 million, or 14.66%, compared to the same period in 2025. However, interest expense decreased $443 thousand as the cost of funds declined 16 basis points to 0.89% from 1.05% in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to interest-bearing deposits, where a 16-basis point reduction in the average rate paid contributed to a $479 thousand, or 3.42%, decline in interest expense.
Provision for Credit Losses
Three-Month Comparison. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $680 thousand in the third quarter of 2026, compared to no provision in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily related to loan growth, as the loan portfolio increased $146.11 million from the prior-year period, driven largely by the Hometown acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Nine-Month Comparison. The provision charged to operations increased $1.50 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. The Company recorded a $1.39 million provision for credit losses on loans and a $150 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the first nine months of 2026, compared to a $58 thousand provision for credit losses on loans and a $22 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments during the same period in 2025. The increase in total provision expense was primarily driven by growth in the loan portfolio, primarily attributable to loans acquired through the Hometown acquisition.

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest expense increased $1.66 million, or 6.32%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $955 thousand, or 6.65%, other operating expense of $471 thousand, or 13.95%, and amortization of intangibles of $401 thousand, or 92.61%.
Nine-Month Comparison. Noninterest expense increased $7.56 million, or 9.86%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $2.76 million in salaries and employee benefits, $1.52 million in merger expense, and $1.10 million in other operating expense. The merger expense was related to the acquisition of Hometown, which was completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s effective tax rate, income tax as a percent of pre-tax income, may vary significantly from the statutory rate due to permanent differences and available tax credits. Permanent differences are income and expense items excluded by law in the calculation of taxable income. The Company’s most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities, increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies and non-deductible acquisition costs.
Three-Month Comparison. Income tax expense increased $828 thousand, or 22.74%. The effective tax rate decreased to 22.47% in the third quarter of 2026 from 22.89% in the same quarter of 2025.
Nine-Month Comparison. Income tax expense increased $4.07 million, or 38.13%. The effective tax rate increased to 22.77% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from 22.70% in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance and facilitate comparisons with other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report include fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest rate spread; adjusted net income; adjusted return on average assets ("ROA"); adjusted return on average equity ("ROE"); average tangible common equity; and return on average tangible common equity.
Management believes that presenting net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest rate spread on an FTE basis enhances comparability between taxable and tax-exempt revenue streams and is a widely used industry methodology for evaluating net interest performance. The FTE adjustment reflects the tax-equivalent value of income earned on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
Adjusted net income, adjusted ROA, and adjusted ROE exclude merger-related expenses and other significant non-recurring items that management considers outside the normal course of banking operations. Management believes these adjustments provide a clearer view of the Company's core operating performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons.
Average tangible common equity represents total shareholders equity less intangible assets and is a commonly used measure to evaluate capital strength. Return on average tangible common equity measures earnings relative to tangible common equity and assists management and investors in assessing the quality, adequacy, and effectiveness of the Company's capital structure. These measures, together with other financial and operating metrics, are used by management to evaluate performance and capital adequacy.
While management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors understanding of the Companys business and operating results, they should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other financial institutions.

Financial Condition
Total assets as of September 30, 2026, increased $374.04 million, or 11.47%, from December 31, 2025. Total liabilities increased $329.31 million, or 11.94%, and stockholders' equity increased $44.72 million, or 8.93%. The primary driver of the changes in balance sheet components was the acquisition of Hometown in the first quarter of 2026. The acquisition resulted in an increase in stockholders' equity of $35.07 million. Total assets of $393.81 million and total liabilities of $360.46 million were acquired in the transaction. Excluding the impact of the Hometown transaction, total assets decreased $19.77 million and liabilities decreased $31.15 million compared to December 31, 2025.
Investment Securities
Our investment securities are used to generate interest income through the employment of excess funds, to provide liquidity, to fund loan demand or deposit liquidation, and to pledge as collateral where required. The composition of our investment portfolio changes from time to time as we consider our liquidity needs, interest rate expectations, asset/liability management strategies, and capital requirements.
Available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2026, increased $202.63 million, or 152.71%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to purchases of investment securities associated with the Company's participation in a state pooled collateral program.
The market value of debt securities available-for-sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 95.60% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 92.95% as of December 31, 2025.
Management evaluates securities for impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses and the creation of an allowance for credit losses. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including looking at default and delinquency rates, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) our intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or for a debt security whether it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovering its fair value, (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates, (6) credit ratings, (7) third party guarantees, and (8) collateral values. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. U.S. Treasury Securities, Agency-Backed Securities including GNMA, FHLMC, FNMA, FHLB, FFCB and SBA. All of the U.S. Treasury and Agency-Backed Securities have the full faith and credit backing of the United States Government or one of its agencies. Municipal securities and all other securities that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. All debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2026 continue to perform as scheduled and we do not believe that a provision for credit losses is necessary.

Risk Elements
We seek to mitigate credit risk by following specific underwriting practices and by ongoing monitoring of our loan portfolio. Our underwriting practices include the analysis of borrowers’ prior credit histories, financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections; valuation of collateral based on independent appraisers’ reports; and verification of liquid assets. We believe our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various loan types we offer; however, losses may occur that exceed the reserves established in our allowance for credit losses. We track certain credit quality indicators that include: trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions. The Company's loan review function performs an independent credit analysis on a risk-based sample of commercial loan relationships annually and performs a qualitative review of a sample of smaller commercial and retail loans.
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accrual loans contractually past due 90 days or more, and modified loans past due 90 days or more, and OREO. Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification due to changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts.
The following table presents the components of nonperforming assets and related information as of the periods indicated:

Nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2026, increased $1.72 million, or 12.16%, from December 31, 2025, and modified loans increased $976 thousand, or 39.97%. As of September 30, 2026, nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to single family owner occupied (42.71%), single family non-owner occupied (14.44%) and commercial and industrial (13.17%). Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for credit losses based on management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.
Delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $28.85 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $1.00 million, or 3.61%, compared to $27.85 million as of December 31, 2025. Delinquent loans as a percent of total loans totaled 1.16% as of September 30, 2026, which includes past due loans (0.53%) and nonaccrual loans (0.64%).
When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions with respect to interest rates, loan terms, or amortization terms. Total loans modified as of September 30, 2026, were $3.42 million. As of September 30, 2026, $586 thousand of these loans were 30-89 days past due. Modified loans past due 90 days or more totaled $414 thousand and are included in the total for nonaccrual loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL reflects management’s estimate of losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. Management uses a systematic methodology to determine its ACL for loans held for investment and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. Management considers the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts on the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected credit losses may result in a range of expected credit losses. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach a different reasonable conclusion. The Company’s ACL recorded in the balance sheet reflects management’s best estimate of expected credit losses. The Company recognizes in net income the amount needed to adjust the ACL for management’s current estimate of expected credit losses. The Company’s measurement of credit losses policy adheres to GAAP as well as interagency guidance. The Company's ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans.
For collectively evaluated loans, the Company in general uses two modeling approaches to estimate expected credit losses. The Company projects the contractual run-off of its portfolio at the segment level and incorporates a prepayment assumption in order to estimate exposure at default. Financial assets that have been individually evaluated can be returned to a pool for purposes of estimating the expected credit loss insofar as their credit profile improves and that the repayment terms were not considered to be unique to the asset.
In addition to its own loss experience, management also includes peer bank historical loss experience in its assessment of expected credit losses to determine the ACL. The Company utilized call report data to measure historical credit loss experience with similar risk characteristics within the segments. For the majority of segment models for collectively evaluated loans, the Company incorporated at least one macroeconomic driver either using a statistical regression modeling methodology or simple loss rate modeling methodology.
Included in its systematic methodology to determine its ACL for loans held for investment and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Management considers the need to qualitatively adjust expected credit losses for information not already captured in the loss estimation process. These qualitative adjustments either increase or decrease the quantitative model estimation (i.e. formulaic model results). Each period the Company considers qualitative factors that are relevant within the qualitative framework. For further discussion of our Allowance for Credit Losses - See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2026, the balance of the ACL totaled $32.64 million, or 1.32%, of total loans. This compares to $30.76 million as of December 31, 2025, reflecting an increase of $1.88 million, or 6.10%. The increase in the ACL is primarily driven by the Hometown acquisition, which resulted in a $3.21 million addition for acquired loans. The increase was offset by net charge-offs of $2.73 million.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had an allowance for unfunded commitments of $505 thousand, which was recorded in Other Liabilities on the Balance Sheet. During the first nine months of 2026, the Company recorded a $150 thousand provision for credit losses on loan commitments, compared to a $22 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses on loan commitments recorded during the same period in 2025.
Deposits
Total deposits as of September 30, 2026, increased $343.55 million, or 12.79%, compared to December 31, 2025. The largest increases occurred in interest-bearing demand deposits of $131.14 million, or 19.17%, and money-market and savings deposits of $136.35 million, or 15.08%. The growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hometown, which contributed $357.72 million in deposits. Excluding the impact of the Hometown acquisition, total deposits decreased $14.17 million, or 0.53%.
Total borrowings in the form of retail repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2026, increased $1.23 million, or 100.99%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to the Hometown acquisition, which included $1.31 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Excluding the impact of the Hometown acquisition, borrowings decreased $88 thousand, or 7.25%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to convert assets to cash or raise cash to meet financial obligations. We believe that liquidity management should encompass an overall balance sheet approach that draws together all sources and uses of liquidity. Poor or inadequate liquidity risk management may result in a funding deficit that could have a material impact on our operations. We maintain a liquidity risk management policy and contingency funding policy (“Liquidity Plan”) to detect potential liquidity issues and protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. ALCO reviews liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management; ensures that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity policies; and provides accurate reports about liquidity needs, sources, and compliance. The Liquidity Plan involves ongoing monitoring and estimation of potentially credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows during a funding crisis. The liquidity model incorporates various funding crisis scenarios and a specific action plan is formulated, and activated, when a financial shock that affects our normal funding activities is identified. Generally, the plan will reflect a strategy of replacing liability outflows with alternative liabilities, rather than balance sheet asset liquidity, to the extent that significant premiums can be avoided. If alternative liabilities are not available, outflows will be met through liquidation of balance sheet assets, including unpledged securities.
As a financial holding company, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to certain regulatory limitations. Other sources of liquidity include cash, investment securities, and borrowings. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent reserves totaled $39.49 million. The Company’s cash reserves provide adequate working capital to meet obligations for the next twelve months.
In addition to cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, we rely on customer deposits, cash flows from loans and investment securities, and lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window to meet potential liquidity demands. These sources of liquidity are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Secondary sources of liquidity include approved lines of credit with correspondent banks and unpledged available-for-sale securities. As of September 30, 2026, our unencumbered cash totaled $502.35 million, unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $301.57 million, available credit from the FRB Discount Window totaled $6.88 million, available lines from correspondent banks totaled $100.00 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities totaled $110.18 million.
Capital Resources
We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our operations. Total stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2026, increased $44.72 million, or 8.93%, to $545.27 million from $500.55 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hometown, in which the Company issued 1.03 million shares of common stock, resulting in a $35.07 million increase in capital. Stockholders' equity was further increased by net income of $49.96 million. These increases were partially offset by $18.05 million of common stock dividends declared and $20.33 million of common stock repurchases. Book value per share increased $1.53 to $28.83 as of September 30, 2026, compared to $27.30 on December 31, 2025.
Capital Adequacy Requirements
Risk-based capital guidelines, issued by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. Our current risk-based capital requirements are based on the international capital standards known as Basel III. A description of the Basel III capital rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the 2025 Form 10-K. Our current required capital ratios are as follows:
| ● |
4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 7.00% including the capital conservation buffer) |
| ● |
6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 8.50% including the capital conservation buffer) |
| ● |
8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 10.50% including the capital conservation buffer) |
| ● |
4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (“Tier 1 leverage ratio”) |

As of September 30, 2026, the Company and the Bank continue to maintain strong regulatory capital levels. Compared with December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank reported increases in their common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratios, while the Tier 1 leverage ratio declined modestly. The increase in the risk-based capital ratios was primarily driven by growth in regulatory capital during the period. As of September 30, 2026, we continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements and were classified as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action due to our capital ratios being in excess of the minimum standards under the Basel III capital rules. Management believes there have been no conditions or events that would have changed the Bank’s classification during the period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument.

Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Market risk represents the risk of loss due to adverse changes in current and future cash flows, fair values, earnings, or capital due to movements in interest rates and other factors. Our profitability is largely dependent upon net interest income, which is subject to variation due to changes in the interest rate environment and unbalanced repricing opportunities. We are subject to interest rate risk when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice at differing times, when underlying rates change at different levels or in varying degrees, when there is an unequal change in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities, and when embedded options, if any, are exercised. ALCO reviews our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment. ALCO is also responsible for overseeing the formulation and implementation of policies and strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and mitigate the effect of interest rate changes.
In order to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we periodically review internal simulation and third-party models that project net interest income at risk, which measures the impact of different interest rate scenarios on net interest income, and the economic value of equity at risk, which measures potential long-term risk in the balance sheet by valuing our assets and liabilities at fair value under different interest rate scenarios. Simulation results show the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each scenario based on our current balance sheet position, assumptions about changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and estimated yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. The simulation model provides the best tool available to us and the industry for managing interest rate risk; however, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income due to the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes; changes in market conditions and customer behavior; and changes in our strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock.
As of September 30, 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee had set the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 375 to 400 basis points. The following table presents the sensitivity of net interest income from immediate and sustained rate shocks in various interest rate scenarios over a twelve-month period for the periods indicated:

Inflation and Changing Prices
Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of operations and financial position in historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory is generally more significant than the effect on financial institutions.
Continued unprecedented levels of federal government spending is causing increased inflation. The timing and impact of inflation and rising interest rates on our business and related financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The information required in this item is incorporated by reference to “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
| Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.
Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| PART II. |
OTHER INFORMATION |
| ITEM 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each matter with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
| ITEM 1A. |
Risk Factors |
The risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. If any of the risks occur and the market price of our common stock declines significantly, individuals may lose all, or part, of their investment in our Company. Individuals should carefully consider our risk factors and information included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, before making an investment decision. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, such risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

| ITEM 5. | Other Information |
(a) Amendment to Articles of Incorporation. The information in this Item 5 is being furnished in lieu of a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 5.03 (Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year).
At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on April 22, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change the shareholder voting requirements applicable to the approval of certain corporate transactions and future amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The Amendment was proposed by the Company’s Board of Directors and was described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders as Proposal 4.
The Amendment amends and restates Section A of Article VII of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (together with the reference to Section A) as Article VII in its entirety. As amended, Article VII provides that an amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, a plan of domestication, a plan of conversion, a transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than in the regular course of business, and a plan of dissolution, in each case for which the Virginia Stock Corporation Act requires shareholder approval, must be approved by the vote of a majority of all the votes cast on the transaction by each voting group entitled to vote, at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group is present, provided that the transaction has been approved and recommended by at least two-thirds of the directors in office at the time of that approval and recommendation. If the transaction is not so approved and recommended by two-thirds of the directors in office, then the transaction must be approved by the vote of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of all the votes entitled to be cast on the transaction by each voting group entitled to vote.
The Amendment was adopted on April 22, 2025. A quorum was present at the 2025 Annual Meeting, and the number of votes cast in favor of the Amendment was sufficient for approval under the applicable voting standard.
The Company previously reported the voting results from the 2025 Annual Meeting, including the results for Proposal 4, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2025 (the “Original Report”) under Item 5.07 (Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders). The Original Report correctly reported the numerical voting results for Proposal 4 but incorrectly stated that Proposal 4 had not been approved, as a result of the application of an incorrect voting standard. Because the Board of Directors had unanimously approved and recommended the Amendment, approval of Proposal 4 required the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the proposal, rather than the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Applying the correct voting standard to the voting results reported in the Original Report, Proposal 4 received the requisite shareholder vote and was approved at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
On November 6, 2026, the Company filed the Articles of Amendment to give effect to the Amendment with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended to incorporate the Amendment, are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Articles of Amendment effecting the Amendment are filed as Exhibit 3.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirely by reference to the full text of Exhibits 3.1 and 3.3, which are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) No changes were made to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Companys board of directors.
(c) During the three months ended September 30, 2026, none of our directors or executive officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
