Banking equity analyst

Special $1.00 cash dividend rewards shareholders but is framed as nonrecurring.

First Community Bankshares, Inc. has declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per common share. This one-time payment, separate from any regular dividends, is tied to company performance through the first three quarters of 2025, highlighting management’s view that recent results support an additional return of capital.

The dividend will be paid on or about January 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2026, so eligibility is determined by ownership on that record date. The company explicitly notes that this action "may not be indicative of special cash dividend activity in the future," signaling that investors should not assume this higher payout level will repeat regularly.

A press release, filed as Exhibit 99.1 and dated December 16, 2025, provides the formal announcement details. Overall, this is a discrete capital return event rather than a stated shift in long-term dividend policy, based solely on the information provided.
