Note 1— Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Banking Activities

John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Reston, Virginia, became the registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 for its wholly-owned subsidiary, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank”), on March 1, 2017. This reorganization was completed through a one-for-one share exchange in which the Bank’s shareholders received one share of voting common stock of the Company in exchange for each share of the Bank’s voting common stock. The Company was formed on April 21, 2016 under the laws of the Commonwealth Virginia. The Bank was formed on April 5, 2005 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and was chartered as a bank on February 9, 2006, by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to the rules and regulations of the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank opened for business on April 17, 2006 and provides banking services to its customers primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect practices of the banking industry. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan credit losses.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. All amounts and disclosures included in this quarterly report as of December 31, 2023, were derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Certain items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are contained in the

Table of Contents

Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Note 2— Investment Securities

Available-for-Sale

Each of the securities in the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio is either covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies or rated investment grade or higher. All available-for-sale securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-sale and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company did not sell or recognize any gain or loss for any securities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold available-for-sale securities with a total par value of $12.0 million resulting in a gross pre-tax loss of $202 thousand.

Available-for-sale securities having a market value of $68.8 million and $90.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law. These securities had an amortized cost of $74.0 million and $95.8 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following tables summarize the fair value of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized losses. Management uses the valuations as of month-end in determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position. Therefore, a security’s market value could have exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the prior twelve-month period.

The Company had 156 and 158 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has evaluated available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer(s) to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment, (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis. As such, there was no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2024.

The Company evaluates the credit risk of its held-to-maturity securities on at least a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on an individual basis based on a probability of default/loss given default methodology primarily using security-level credit ratings. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The Company’s held-to-maturity securities with credit risk were comprised of municipal bonds and had a credit rating of AA or better as of March 31, 2024.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company assesses credit quality indicators based on internal risk rating of loans. Each loan is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans. The indicators represent the rating for loans as of the date presented is based on the most recent credit review performed. Internal risk rating definitions are:

Pass: These include satisfactory loans that have acceptable levels of risk.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant further adverse classification.

Substandard: A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be received in the future.

The Company has a portfolio of smaller homogenous loans that are not individually risk rated and include residential permanent and construction mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and consumer installment loans. For these loans, management uses payment status as the primary credit quality indicator. The payment status of these loans is then translated into an internal risk rating. The following table summarizes the translation of past due status to risk rating for loans that are not individually risk rated.


		Internal
Days Past Due		Risk Rating
0 - 29 days		Pass
30-59 days		Special Mention
60-89 days		Substandard
90-119 days		Doubtful
120+ days		Loss

Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The allowance for loan credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for loan credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. As part of the Company’s loan modification program to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may provide concessions to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $717 thousand and $620 thousand at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded commitments.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% to but excluding July 1, 2027, and will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 245 basis points thereafter. The note is carried at its principal amount, less unamortized issuance costs.

The Company from time to time uses FHLB advances as a source of funding and to manage interest rate risk. FHLB advances are secured by a blanket floating lien on all real estate mortgage loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential, multi-family and commercial real estate properties. At March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding FHLB advances. Available borrowing capacity based on collateral value amounted to approximately $452.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

The Company also has the capacity to borrow up to $111.9 million at the Federal Reserve discount window of which $0 had been drawn upon at March 31, 2024. The Bank had loans pledged at the Federal Reserve discount window totaling $138.9 million as of March 31, 2024.

On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Reserve Bank”) made available the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), which enhances the ability of banks to borrow against the par value of certain high-quality, unencumbered investments. In January 2024, the Company refinanced its $54.0 million advance and advanced an additional $23.0 million from the BTFP. The $77 million BTFP advance has a term of one year, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.76% and can be prepaid without penalty prior to maturity. At March 31, 2024, the Company had pledged as collateral for the BTFP advance investment securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $77.9 million and $62.6 million, respectively.

The Company also has federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks available for overnight borrowing of $110.0 million, of which $0 had been drawn upon at March 31, 2024.

Note 7— Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is 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. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.

The following table summarizes the contract or notional amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.


(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Commitments to extend credit	$	258,684	$	235,560
Standby letters of credit	$	16,351	$	16,329

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 of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, and other real estate properties.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Note 8— Fair Value Measurements

Determination of Fair Value

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Table of Contents

The fair value measurements and disclosures topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Securities Available-for-sale and Equity Securities

Securities available-for-sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its portfolio of debt securities. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is ICE Data Services, which evaluates securities based on market data. ICE Data Services utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.

The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates current market interest rates. Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the more mature Level 1 markets. These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loan Servicing Rights

Under the U.S Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) program, the Bank can sell in the secondary market the guaranteed portion of its SBA 7(a) loans and retain the related unguaranteed portion of these loans, as well as the servicing on such loans, for which it is paid a fee. The loan servicing spread is generally a minimum of 1.00% on all SBA 7(a) loans. The Company generally offers SBA 7(a) loans within a range of $50,000 to $2.0 million. The Company holds rights to service the guaranteed portion of SBA loans sold in the secondary market. Loan servicing rights are capitalized at estimated fair value when acquired through the origination of loans that are subsequently sold with the servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights are amortized to servicing income on loans sold approximately in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The value of loan servicing rights at the date of the sale of loans is estimated based on the discounted present value of expected future cash flows using key assumptions for servicing income and costs and expected prepayment rates on the underlying loans. The estimated fair value is periodically evaluated for impairment by comparing actual cash flows and estimated future cash flows from the loan servicing assets to those estimated at the time that the loan servicing assets were originated. Fair values are estimated using expected future discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest. For purposes of measuring impairment, the loan servicing rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized loan servicing rights based on product type and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the loan servicing rights exceeds their fair value. Impairment, if deemed temporary, is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the recorded amount. Under the SBA 7(a) program, the loans carry an SBA guaranty for up to 85% of the loan. Typical maturities for this type of loan vary but can be up to ten years. SBA 7(a) loans are fixed or adjustable rate loans based on the Prime Rate.

At March 31, 2024, the Bank’s SBA 7(a) loan servicing portfolio, which is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, totaled $2.8 million. At March 31, 2024, SBA servicing rights of $47 thousand were recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The SBA servicing rights' fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with an average discount rate of 11.32% and average conditional prepayment rates of 12.16%. There was no valuation allowance on loan servicing rights at March 31, 2024.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Under certain circumstances, the Company makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the financial statements:

Table of Contents

Collateral Dependent Loans

In accordance with ASC 326, loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk and loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The measurement of loss associated with collateral dependent loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, or if an appraisal of the property is more than one-year-old and not solely based on observable market comparables, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had no collateral dependent loans with a recorded reserve as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value using observable market data, the Company records the property as Level 2. When an appraised value using observable market data is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the property as Level 3 valuation. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. The Company had no OREO as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Note 9— Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share, which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of voting common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

Note 10— Stock Based Compensation Plan

The Company’s share-based compensation plan, approved by stockholders and effective April 28, 2015 (the “2015 Plan”), provides for the grant of share-based awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-incentive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors and employees. The Company has reserved 976,211 shares of voting common stock for issuance under the 2015 Plan, which will remain in effect until April 28, 2025. The Company’s Compensation Committee administers the 2015 Plan and has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award thereunder. As of March 31, 2024, 277,529 shares are available to grant in future periods under the 2015 Plan.

The Company’s previous share-based compensation plan, the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”), provided for the grant of share-based awards in the form of incentive stock options and non-incentive stock options to directors and employees. As amended, the 2006 Plan provided for awards of up to 1,490,700 shares. In April 2015, the 2006 Plan was terminated and replaced with the 2015 Plan. Options outstanding prior to April 28, 2015 were granted under the 2006 Plan and shall be subject to the provisions of the 2006 Plan.

To date, options granted under the 2015 Plan typically vest over five years and expire 10 years from the grant date. Under the 2015 Plan, the exercise price of options may not be less than 100% of fair market value at the grant date with a maximum term for an option award of 10 years from the grant date.

Compensation expense for restricted stock grants is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the Company’s voting common stock at issue date. The fair value of the stock was determined using the closing stock price on the day of grant. The restricted stock grants vest over two to five years. The Company did not award any restricted stock grants during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Share-based compensation expense applicable to the Company’s share-based compensation plans for restricted stock grants was $132 thousand and $197 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The total fair value of the shares, which vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, was $48 thousand and $139 thousand, respectively.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock grants amounted to $922 thousand as of March 31, 2024. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Note 11— Regulatory Capital

The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.

The Bank is subject to capital adequacy standards adopted by the Federal Reserve, including the capital rules that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets.

In addition to the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy purposes, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer above those minimums in the form of common equity. The capital conservation buffer, which was phased in ratably over a four year period beginning January 1, 2016, is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and discretionary compensation paid to certain officers, based on the amount of the shortfall. The capital conservation buffer was 2.5% at March 31, 2024, and is applicable for the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios.

As of March 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The table below provides a summary of the Bank’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 12— Revenue

Certain of the Company’s non-interest revenue streams are derived from short-term contacts associated with services provided to deposit account holders as well as other ancillary services, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue Recognition. For most of these revenue streams, the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts that generate non-interest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.

The following table shows the components of non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Includes other operating income within the scope of ASC 606 amounting to $9 thousand and $8 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Includes other operating income of $64 thousand and $91 thousand related to swap fee income on a back-to-back loan swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, which is outside the scope of ASC 606.

As previously disclosed, the Company surrendered all of its Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies in July 2023.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of overdrawn account fees and account service fees. Overdrawn account fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Account service fees consist primarily of account analysis and other maintenance fees and are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Other service charges and fees

Other service charges and fees are primarily comprised of interchange income and other charges and fees. Interchange income is earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. Other charges and fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks, and other transaction based services. The Company’s performance obligation for these charges and fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Table of Contents

Net gains (losses) on premises and equipment

The Company records a gain or loss on the disposition of premises and equipment when control of the property transfers or is involuntarily converted to a monetary asset (e.g., insurance proceeds). This income is reflected in other operating income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Insurance commissions

The Company performs the function of an insurance intermediary by introducing the policyholder and insurer and is compensated in the form of a commission for placement of an insurance policy based on a percentage of premiums issued and maintained during the period. Revenue is recognized when received.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q. Historical results of operations and the percentage relationships among any amounts included, and any trends that may appear, may not indicate results of operations or trends in operations for any future periods.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This discussion and analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. Non-GAAP measures used in this report consist of tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin.

These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Where the non-GAAP financial measure is used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure, can be found within this discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Reston, Virginia primarily serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The material business operations of our organization are performed through the Bank. As a result, the discussion and analysis within this section primarily relate to activities conducted at the Bank.

As with most community banks, the Bank derives a significant portion of its income from interest received on loans and investments. The Bank’s primary source of funding is deposits, both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing. To account for credit risk inherent in all loans, the Bank maintains an allowance for loan credit losses to absorb lifetime losses on existing loans. The Bank establishes and maintains this allowance by recording a provision for credit losses against earnings. In addition to net interest income, the Bank also generates income through service charges on deposits, insurance commission income, income from bank owned life insurance, merchant services fee income, swap fee income and gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans. In order to maintain its operations, the Bank incurs various operating expenses which are further described within the “Results of Operations” later in this section.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had total consolidated assets of $2.25 billion, total loans net of unearned income of $1.82 billion, total deposits of $1.90 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $234.5 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP, as well as general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates,

Table of Contents

assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

Our most significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.

(1)	Income and yields for all periods presented are reported on a tax-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.

(2)	The Company did not have any loans on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin as presented above is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, is a financial measure that the Company believes provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain securities and loans, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The following table, “Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income,” reconciles net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income, which is a non-GAAP measure.

(1)Tax benefit was calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.

Net interest income decreased $2.7 million or 18.9% on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the increase in the costs of interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the increase in yield on interest-earning assets.

On a fully tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin was 2.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset the increase in yields on loans, investments, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.81% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 2.25% for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a 1.55% increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits resulting from the repricing of the Company’s time deposits coupled with an increase in rates offered on money market, NOW and savings deposit accounts since the first quarter of 2023. The increase in the overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the same period of the prior year is largely due to Federal Reserve Bank rate increases totaling 5.25% between March 2022 and July 2023.

The loan portfolio’s yield for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 5.18% compared to 4.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of 0.49% was primarily attributable to an increase in yield on the Company’s variable rate loans as a result of an increase in interest rates subsequent to March 31, 2023 coupled with a higher weighted average yield on loans originated since the first quarter of 2023.

The yield on interest-bearing deposits due from banks for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 5.53% compared to 4.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of 0.87% was primarily due to a higher federal funds rate during the three months ended March, 2024 when compared to the same period of 2023.

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects

attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated to volume.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $3.4 million or 14.7% to $27.0 million on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by both an increase in rates and volume on interest-earning assets. The increase in rate on interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to the Company’s loan portfolio and interest-bearing deposits due from banks. The increase in volume of average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to interest-bearing deposits due from banks and the Company’s loan portfolio.

Fully tax-equivalent interest income on loans increased by approximately $3.2 million as a result of volume and an increase in rate. Average loans increased $63 million between the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to origination volume in the investor real estate and residential loan portfolios subsequent to March 31, 2023.

Fully tax-equivalent interest income on investment securities decreased by approximately $1.0 million primarily as a result of a decrease in volume. Average investment securities decreased approximately $192.5 million between the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to the sale of certain low-yielding investment securities in July 2023, and to a lesser extent, the amortization of securities.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased by $1.3 million as a result of an increase in volume and rate. Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased approximately $81.4 million between the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due to the redeployment of proceeds

Table of Contents

from the sale of certain low-yielding investment securities in July 2023 to other higher-yielding assets, including interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

The increase in rates on loans, investment securities, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily attributable to an increase in benchmark interest rates since March 31, 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $6.2 million to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in rates on deposits and increase in volume on borrowings. The increase in rates on deposits was primarily a result of the repricing of the Company’s time deposits coupled with an increase in rates offered on deposit accounts subsequent to March 31, 2023 as a result of an increase in benchmark interest rates. The increase in volume on borrowings was primarily a result of the Company’s utilization of BTFP advances subsequent to March 31, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a $776 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a $774 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The recovery of provision for credit losses for the current period that is directly attributable to the funded loan portfolio was $873 thousand.

The recovery of provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, improved economic forecasts used in the quantitative portion of the model and an assessment of management’s considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments. See “Asset Quality” below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest Income

The Company’s recurring sources of non-interest income consist primarily of interchange income, gains on sale of government guaranteed loans, service charges on deposit accounts and insurance commissions. Generally speaking, loan fees are included in interest income on the loan portfolio and not reported as non-interest income.

The following table summarizes non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Total non-interest income	$	818	$	566

Non-interest income increased $252 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in non-interest income was due in part to non-recurring losses of $202 thousand recognized on the sale of certain investment securities during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by bank-owned life insurance income of $100 thousand recognized during the prior period. As previously disclosed, the Company surrendered all of its BOLI policies in July 2023. Excluding losses from the non-recurring investment sale and BOLI income recorded during the first quarter of 2023, as well as changes in mark-to-market adjustments of non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, non-interest income increased $115 thousand or 19.9%. The increase was primarily

due to gains recognized on the sale of certain SBA loan sales totaling $133 thousand and increases in insurance commission related revenue.

Non-interest Expense

Generally, non-interest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing banking services. The largest component of non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Non-interest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing expenses, professional fees, advertising expenses and other general and administrative expenses, including FDIC assessments, and Virginia state franchise taxes.

The following table summarizes non-interest expense for the the three months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

Director costs		211		255
Other operating expenses		191		153
Total non-interest expense	$	7,924	$	7,770

Non-interest expense increased $154 thousand or 2.0% during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to non-recurring professional fees and directors costs totaling $138 thousand incurred during the first quarter of 2024 in connection with a strategic opportunity that was explored during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that ultimately did not materialize. The increase in data processing expense was primarily related to increased contract costs due to annual increases and increased volume based charges. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense due to changes in staffing and a reduction in incentive compensation accruals when compared to the same period of the prior year. Incentive compensation accruals can fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter, based upon the Company’s financial performance and conditions measured against, among other evaluation criteria, our strategic plan and budget. At the end of each year, the ultimate determination of the incentive compensation is approved by the Board of Directors.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased $525 thousand or 30.3% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 22.3% compared to 21.6% for the same period ended March 31, 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate between the comparative periods was primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits associated with our BOLI policies as all policies were surrendered in July 2023.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholders’ Equity

The Company’s total assets increased $9.3 million or 0.4% to $2.25 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $2.24 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to increases in interest-bearing deposits in banks of $55.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in loans, net of unearned income of $33.2 million and investments of $12.0 million.

Table of Contents

The Company’s total liabilities increased $4.7 million or 0.2% to $2.02 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $2.01 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in total liabilities was attributable to net increases of $13.0 million in borrowings, partially offset by a net decrease in deposits of $5.6 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid down its $10.0 million federal funds purchased, refinanced its $54.0 million advance and advanced an additional $23.0 million from the BTFP in January 2024 to secure lower funding costs relative to wholesale deposits and previously outstanding borrowings. Total borrowings as of March 31, 2024 consisted of subordinated debt totaling $24.7 million and the BTFP advance totaling $77.0 million. The decrease in deposits was primarily driven by an $18.9 million decrease in wholesale deposits (Brokered and QwickRate CDs) and $15.2 million decrease in certificates of deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $36.6 million.

Shareholders’ equity increased $4.6 million or 2.0% to $234.6 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $229.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase in net income and additional paid-in capital as a result of option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to unfavorable market value related adjustments on the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. Book value per share was $16.51 as of March 31, 2024 compared to $16.25 as of December 31, 2023.

Investment Securities

The Company maintains a primarily fixed income investment securities portfolio that had a total carrying value of $253.4 million at March 31, 2024 and $265.5 million at December 31, 2023. The investment portfolio is used as a source of liquidity, interest income, and credit risk diversification, as well as to manage rate sensitivity and provide collateral for secured public funds and secured credit lines. Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity based on management’s investment strategy and management’s assessment of the intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. Investment securities that we may sell prior to maturity in response to changes in management’s investment strategy, liquidity needs, interest rate risk profile or for other reasons are classified as available-for-sale. The Company also had restricted stock and equity securities within its investment securities portfolio with total carrying values of $5.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 and $5.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

The Company did not purchase or sell investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company had $11.6 million in maturities and principal repayments on securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was comprised of $4.6 million of mortgage-backed securities, $1.0 million of collateralized mortgage obligation securities, and $6.0 million of U.S. Treasuries.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s fixed income investment portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Asset Quality

The Company maintains policies and procedures to promote sound underwriting and mitigate credit risk. The Chief Credit Officer is responsible for establishing credit risk policies and procedures, including underwriting and hold guidelines and credit approval authority, and monitoring credit exposure and performance of the Company’s lending-related transactions.

The Company’s asset quality remained strong through the first quarter of 2024. The Company did not have any nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans and OREO, as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. As a result, the Company did not have any nonperforming loans, which consists of loans that are 90 days or more past due or loans placed on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company did not have any nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 nor were there any loans placed on nonaccrual during those periods. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when (i) the Company is advised by the borrower that scheduled principal or interest payments cannot be met, (ii) when management’s best judgment indicates that payment in full of principal and interest can no longer be expected, or (iii) when any such loan or obligation becomes delinquent for 90 days, unless it is both well-secured and in the process of collection. As a result, the Company did not have any interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

Allowance for Loan Credit Losses

Refer to the discussion in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for management’s approach to estimating the allowance for loan credit losses.

The Company recorded net recoveries of $1 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the allowance for loan credit losses was $18.7 million or 1.02% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, compared to $19.5 million or 1.05% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was primarily a result of changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, improved economic forecasts used in the quantitative portion of the model and an assessment of management’s considerations of qualitative factors combined with the continued strong credit performance of our loan portfolio segments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience by loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Management believes that the allowance for loan credit losses is adequate to absorb lifetime credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of March 31, 2024. There can be no assurance, however, that adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses will not be required in the future. Changes in the economic assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgments; adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area; or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers are criteria that could change and make adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses necessary.

Capital Resources

The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.

Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, contains additional discussion and analysis regarding the Company and Bank’s regulatory capital requirements.

In August of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program that was originally adopted in August of 2021. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 700,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or 5.0% of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2024. The stock repurchase program will expire on August 31, 2024 or earlier if all the authorized shares have been repurchased. The Company has not repurchased any of its outstanding common stock under the program as of March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

On April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company declared an annual cash dividend of $0.25 per outstanding share of common stock, payable on July 8, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 28, 2024.

Liquidity

Liquidity reflects a financial institution’s ability to fund assets and meet current and future financial obligations. Liquidity is essential in all banks to meet customer withdrawals, compensate for balance sheet fluctuations, and provide funds for growth. Monitoring and managing both liquidity measurements is critical in developing prudent and effective balance sheet management. Management conducts liquidity stress testing on a quarterly basis to prepare for unexpected adverse scenarios and contemporaneously develops mitigating strategies to reduce losses in the event of an economic downturn.

The Company’s principal source of liquidity and funding is its deposit base. The level of deposits necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand. In addition to the liquidity provided by balance sheet cash flows, the Company supplements its liquidity with additional sources such as secured borrowing credit lines with the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Specifically, the Company has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Based on collateral pledged as of March 31, 2024, the total FHLB available borrowing capacity was $452.8 million. Additional borrowing capacity with the Reserve Bank was approximately $111.9 million as of March 31, 2024.

On March 12, 2023, the Reserve Bank made available the BTFP, which enhances the ability of banks to borrow against the par value of certain high-quality, unencumbered investments. The Company refinanced its $54.0 million advance and advanced an additional $23.0 million from the BTFP in January 2024 to secure lower funding costs relative to wholesale deposits and the prior outstanding BTFP advance. The $77.0 million BTFP advance matures January 2025, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.76% and can be prepaid at any time without penalty prior to maturity.

Total liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered securities at fair value, and available secured borrowing capacity, was $788.7 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $638.9 million at December 31, 2023. The Company’s liquidity position represented 125.7% of uninsured, non-collateralized deposits at March 31, 2024.

In addition to available secured borrowing capacity, the Company had available federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $110.0 million at March 31, 2024.

Liquidity is a core pillar of the Company’s operations. Conditions may arise in the future that could negatively impact the Company’s future liquidity position resulting in funding mismatches. These include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity) and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, and reputation risks also can affect a bank’s liquidity. Management believes that the Company has a strong liquidity position, but any of the factors referenced above could materially impact that in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees which would impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors. For further information, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for further discussion of the nature, business purpose and elements of risk involved with these off-balance sheet arrangements.
