| 5 4 PART 1 ITEM 1.BUSINESS MVB Financial Corp. (“the Company”) was formed on January 1, 2004, as a bank holding company and, effective December 19, 2012, became a financial holding company. The Company features multiple subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, including MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank” or “MVB Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MVB Mortgage and MVB Insurance, LLC (“MVB Insurance”). On December 31, 2013, three Company subsidiaries, MVB-Central, Inc. (a second-tier level holding company), MVB-East, Inc. (a second tier holding company) and Bank Compliance Solutions, Inc. (an inactive subsidiary) were merged into the Company. The Bank was formed on October 30, 1997 and chartered under the laws of the State of West Virginia. The Bank commenced operations on January 4, 1999. In August of 2005, the Bank opened a full service office in neighboring Harrison County, West Virginia. During October of 2005, the Bank purchased a branch office in Jefferson County, West Virginia, situated in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle. During the third quarter of 2007, the Bank opened a full service office in the Martinsburg area of Berkeley County, West Virginia. In the second quarter of 2011, the Bank opened a banking facility in the Cheat Lake area of Monongalia County, West Virginia. The Bank opened its second Harrison County, West Virginia location, the downtown Clarksburg office in the historic Empire Building during the fourth quarter of 2012. Also during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank acquired Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (“PMG” which, following July 15, 2013, began doing business under the registered trade name “MVB Mortgage”), a mortgage company in the northern Virginia area, and fifty percent (50%) interest in a mortgage services company, Lender Service Provider, LLC (“LSP”). In the third quarter of 2013, this fifty percent (50%) interest in LSP was reduced to a twenty-five percent (25%) interest through a sale of a partial interest. This PMG acquisition provided the Company and the Bank the opportunity to make the mortgage banking operation a much more significant line of business to further diversify its net income stream. MVB Mortgage has four mortgage only offices, all located in northern Virginia, within the Washington, District of Columbia / Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area, and, in addition, has mortgage loan originators located at select Bank locations. In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second Monongalia County location in the Sabraton area of Morgantown, West Virginia. In the second quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second full service office in Berkeley County, West Virginia, at Edwin Miller Boulevard. During 2013, the Company continued to focus on growth in the Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson and Monongalia County areas, as well as the Kanawha county area, as the primary method for reaching performance goals. The Company continuously reviews key performance indicators to measure our success. Currently, the Bank operates nine full-service banking branches in West Virginia, which are located at: 301 Virginia Avenue in Fairmont, Marion County; 9789 Mall Loop (inside the Shop N Save Supermarket) in White Hall, Marion County; 1000 Johnson Avenue in Bridgeport, Harrison County; 406 West Main St. in Clarksburg, Harrison County; 88 Somerset Boulevard in Charles Town, Jefferson County; 651 Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg, Berkeley County; 2400 Cranberry Square in Cheat Lake, Monongalia County; 10 Sterling Drive in Morgantown, Monongalia County; and 231 Aikens Center in Martinsburg, Berkeley County. In addition, the Bank operates a loan processing office at 184 Summers Street, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The Bank has received regulatory approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions to construct a replacement location on Copley Drive in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia, for its current White Hall location. In addition, the Bank has initiated construction of a new facility in Kanawha County, West Virginia. In addition to MVB Mortgage, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Insurance, LLC. MVB Insurance was originally formed in 2000 and reinstated in 2005, as a Bank subsidiary. Effective June 1, 2013, MVB Insurance became a direct subsidiary of the Company. MVB Insurance offers select insurance products such as title insurance, individual insurance, commercial insurance, employee benefits insurance, and professional liability insurance. MVB Insurance maintains its headquarters at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia, and operates offices at: 48 Donley Street, Suite 703, Morgantown, West Virginia, 2400 Cranberry Square, Morgantown, West Virginia,; and 355 Wharton Circle, Suite 123, Triadelphia, West Virginia. At December 31, 2013, the Company had total assets of $987.1 million, total loans of $622.3 million, total deposits of $695.8 million and total stockholders’ equity of $94.0 million. The Company’s primary business activities, through its Subsidiaries, are currently community banking, mortgage banking, insurance services, and wealth management. As a community banking entity, the Bank offers its customers a full range of products through various delivery channels. Such products and services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market and savings accounts, time certificates of deposit, commercial, installment, commercial real estate and residential real estate mortgage loans, debit cards, and safe deposit rental facilities. Services are provided through our walk-in offices, automated teller machines (“ATMs”), drive-in facilities, and internet and telephone banking. Additionally, the Bank offers non-deposit investment products through an association with a broker-dealer, and also offers correspondent lending services to assist other community banks in offering longer term fixed rate loan products that may be sold into the secondary market. Since the opening date of January 4, 1999, the Bank, has experienced significant growth in assets, loans, and deposits due to overwhelming community and customer support in the Marion County, West Virginia and Harrison County, West Virginia markets, expansion into West Virginia’s eastern panhandle counties and, most recently, into Monongalia County, West Virginia. With the acquisition of PMG, mortgage banking is now a much more significant focus, which has opened up increased market opportunities in the Washington, District of Columbia / Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan region and added enough volume to better diversify the Company’s earnings stream. The Company and the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement, on October 23, 2013, to purchase certain assets and assume specific liabilities, subject to regulatory approvals, of CFG Community Bank (“CFG Bank”), a subsidiary of Capital Funding Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in Lutherville, Maryland. This pending transaction, which is, again, subject to regulatory approvals, would increase the presence of the Company and the Bank in the Washington, District of Columbia / Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan region through the addition of three new branches in: Annapolis, Maryland; Baltimore, Maryland; and Lutherville, Maryland. Further, the transaction would include an additional office, also in Lutherville, Maryland. At December 31, 2013, the Company had 274 full-time equivalent employees. The Company’s principal office is located at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia 26554, and its telephone number is (304) 363-4800. The Company’s Internet web site is www. mvbbanking.com. During 2013, the Company continued to focus on growth in the Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson and Monongalia County areas, as well as the Kanawha county area, as the primary method for reaching performance goals. The Company continuously reviews key performance indicators to measure our success. Segment Reporting Beginning in 2013, the Company began to operate in a decentralized fashion in three principal business activities: commercial and retail banking services; mortgage banking services; and insurance services. Revenue from commercial and retail banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process. The Company recognizes income on the sale of mortgages as part of income on loans held for sale. Revenue from insurance services is comprised of fees related to insurance services transactions. MVB Mortgage has an outstanding line of credit for which it pays interest to the Bank. Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. 002933_MVB_annual_report_FIN.indd 7-8 5/14/14 4:07 PM |
