Recent performance

In the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net income was $9.0 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, up from $4.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a 13 basis point reduction in cost of funds, lower non-interest expense, and a gain from the sale of a limited investment partnership interest in Bearing Insurance Group, LLC. Return on average assets improved to 2.24% and return on average equity to 18.81%. Net interest margin (FTE) increased to 3.65% from 3.40%, and the efficiency ratio improved to 41.6% from 61.2%. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets declined to 0.35% at June 30, 2026 from 0.56% at year-end 2025.

Strategy

Management's stated goal is maximizing earnings to increase long-term shareholder value, with focus on return on average assets, return on average equity, net income per share, and tangible book value per share. They emphasize disciplined balance sheet optimization to maximize profitability, as noted by CEO Glenn W. Rust. The company continues to deploy liquidity from securities sales into higher-yielding opportunities and manages funding costs to mitigate rate environment impacts. They also maintain strong asset quality, liquidity, and capital to finance creditworthy projects in their communities.

Risks

• Interest rate risk — Fluctuations in interest rates and Federal Reserve policies can impact net interest margin and the value of the securities portfolio.
• Credit risk — Deterioration in borrowers' financial condition or real estate values in the local Virginia markets could increase loan losses.
• Contingent revenue from divested business — The sale of Masonry Capital Management includes an annual revenue-share for six years, which could be lower than expected.
• Regulatory burden — As a bank holding company and national bank, the Company is subject to extensive supervision and regulatory requirements that can impose costs and restrictions.

Outlook

Management did not provide specific forward-looking guidance, but highlighted continued focus on optimizing the balance sheet and maintaining strong asset quality, liquidity, and capital. They anticipate normal customer deposit behavior in the current rate environment. The company expects to continue financing creditworthy projects in its communities while managing costs and improving profitability metrics.
