Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
FVCBankcorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 2015 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company conducts its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, FVCbank (the "Bank"). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank.
The Bank was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to engage in a general banking business serving the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. The Bank commenced operations on November 27, 2007 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). It is supervised and regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by these regulatory authorities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. There is no impact to Shareholder's Equity or Net Income from these adjustments.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
I
n November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of
the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Securities of U.S. government and federal agencies:
The unrealized losses
on
two
available-for-sale securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments.
Securities of state and local municipalities tax-exempt:
The unrealized loss on
one
of the investments in securities of state and local municipalities was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of this investment does not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The investment carries an S&P investment grade rating of AA3.
Securities of state and local municipalities taxable:
The unrealized loss on
one
of the investments in securities of state and local municipalities was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of this investment do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investment. The investment carries an S&P investment grade rating of AAA.
Corporate bonds:
The unrealized losses on
14
of the investments in corporate bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Some of these investments do not carry a rating.
SBA pass-through securities:
The unrealized losses on
one
available-for-sale security was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments.
Mortgage-backed securities:
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment on
36
mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments.
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"):
The unrealized loss associated with
11
CMOs was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an ag
ency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments.
The Company has evaluated its available-for-sale investments securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024
and concluded no impairment existed based on several factors which included: (1) the majority of these securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (4) 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. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed investment securities are primarily guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Government National Mortgage Association and do not have credit risk given the implicit and explicit government guarantees associated with these agencies.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass
— Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.
Special Mention
— Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard
— Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the enhanced possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful
— Loans classified as doubtful include those loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as "Substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, improbable.
Loss
— Loans classified as loss include those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be achieved in the future, it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off these loans.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, amortized cost basis of loans by risk category, class, and year of origination and gross charge-offs by year of origination for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were as follows:

Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention, however, the borrower continues to pay in accordance with their contract. Loans rated as special mention do not have a specific reserve and are considered well-secured.

million in loans identified as substandard, a decrease of $
11.2
million from December 31, 2024. Substandard rated loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans are individually evaluated, typically on the basis of the underlying collateral. At March 31, 2025, an individually assessed allowance for credit losses to
taling $
462
thousand has bee
n estimated to supplement any shortfall of collateral.
Past due and nonaccrual loans presented by loan class were as follows at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which have been reclassified from deposits to loans. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, loans with a carrying value of $
357.8
million and $
493.1

Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Loan modifications when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty ("FDMs") occur as a result of loss mitigation activities. A variety of solutions are offered to borrowers, including loan modifications that may result in principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment delays, repayment plans or combinations thereof. FDMs exclude loans held for sale and loans accounted for under the fair value option. Loans with guarantor support, or guaranteed loans are included in the Company's disclosed population of FDMs when those loan modifications are granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.
There w
ere
no
l
oans designated as modifications for borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty during the years ended March 31, 2025, and
December 31, 2024

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements ("swap agreements") to facilitate the risk management strategies needed in order to accommodate the needs of its banking customers. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these loan agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly-rated third party financial institutions.
These back-to-back swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition (asset positions are included in other assets and liability positions are included in other liabilities) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterpa
rty; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Parties to a centrally cleared over-the-counter derivative exchange daily payments that reflect the daily change in value of the derivative. These payments, commonly referred to as variation margin, are recorded as settlements of the derivatives' mark-to-market exposure rather than collateral against the exposures, which effectively results in any centrally cleared derivative having a Level 2 fair value that approximates zero on a daily basis, and therefore, these swap agreements were not included in the offsetting table in the Fair Value Measurement section below. As of March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, the Company had entered into
16
and
17
interest rate swap agreements, respectively, which were collateralized by $
30
thousand in cash.
The Company uses wholesale funding (in the form of FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposit) from time to time as a source of funds for use in the Company's lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. This wholesale funding exposes the Company to increased interest rate risk as a result of the variability in cash flows (future interest payments). The Company believes it is prudent to reduce this interest rate risk. To meet this objective, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company reduces the interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable rate wholesale funding from the designation date and going through the maturity date.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variability in cash flows is as follows:

These agreements provided for the Company to receive payments determined by a specific index in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unrealized gain or loss relating to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with wholesale funding are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on wholesale funding affects earnings. The Company measures cash flow hedging relationships for effectiveness on a monthly basis, and at March 31, 2025 and 2024, the hedges were highly effective and the amount of ineffectiveness reflected in earnings was de minimus.
Note 5. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is party to credit-related 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 and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the following financial instruments were outstanding, which contract amounts represent credit risk:
March 31, 2025
December 31, 2024
Commitments to grant loans
$
38,220
$
24,989
Unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit
148,038
171,752
Commercial and standby letters of credit
24,321
25,221
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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Substantially all letters of credit issued have expiratio
n dates within
one year
. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary.
The Company enters into rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans with its customers. These commitments offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company.
The Company maintains its cash accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") and correspondent banks. The total amount of cash on deposit in correspondent banks exceeding the federally insured limits w
as $
5.2
million and $
6.8
million at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Option Plan (the "Plan"), which is stockholder-approved, was adopted to advance the interests of the Company by providing selected key employees of the Company, their affiliates, and directors with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock in connection with their service to the Company. In May 2022, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to extend the term and increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by
200,000
shares. The Company has granted stock options and restricted stock units under the Plan.
The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be made is
2,929,296
shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market
price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, generally vest annually over
four years
of continuous service and have contractual terms of
ten years
. At
March 31, 2025,
107,063
shares were available to grant under the Plan.
No
options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were
218,916
shares withheld from issuance upon exercise of options in order to cover the cost of the exercise by the participant.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with fair value measurements and disclosures topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally 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.
Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 — Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available-for-sale
: Securities available-for-sale 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. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).
Derivatives:
The Company has interest rate swap derivatives on certain loans and interest rate swap derivatives on certain time deposits and borrowings, which the latter are designated as cash flow hedges. These derivatives are recorded at fair value using published yield curve rates from a national valuation service. These observable rates and inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model, and therefore, the valuations fall into a Level 2 category.
The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Company's individually evaluated loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC 820, individually evaluated loans where an allowance is established based on the the fair value of collateral (i.e., those loans that are collateral dependent) require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, has the value derived by discounting comparable sales due to lack of similar properties, or is discounted by the Company due to marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal 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 following tables summarize the Company's assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Note 8. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of stock which then shared in the earnings of the Company. Weighted average shares – diluted includes only the potential dilution of stock options and unvested restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing EPS and the effect of weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock. Dilutive potential common stock has no effect on income available to common shareholders. There were
0
and

Note 10.
Subordinated Notes
On October 13, 2020, the Company completed the private placement of $
20.0
million of its
4.875
% Fixed to Floating Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the "Notes") to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2030 and carry a fixed rate of interest of
4.875
% for the first
five years
. Thereafter, the Notes will pay interest at the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus
471
basis points, resetting quarterly. The Notes include a right of prepayment without penalty on or after October 15, 2025. The Notes were structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The Company paid approximately $984 thousand to repurchase and retire a portion of the notes in 2024.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’ ("Topic 606"). Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, gain on sale of securities, bank-owned life insurance income, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and insurance commissions. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and personal checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Fees, Exchange and Other Service Charges
Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges and are included in other income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges 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. This income is reflected in other income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other Income
Other noninterest income consists of loan swap fees, insurance commissions, and other miscellaneous revenue streams not meeting the criteria above. When the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement, the Company may receive an additional one-time payment fee which is recognized as income when received. The Company receives monthly recurring commissions based on a percentage of premiums issued and revenue is recognized when received. Any residual miscellaneous fees are recognized as they occur, and therefore, the Company determined this consistent practice satisfies the obligation for performance.
The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2025
and 2024:

Contract Balances
A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024
, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.
Contract Acquisition Costs
Under Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition costs during the years ended March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company announced the extension of its share repurchase program that was initiated in 2020. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to
1,300,000
shares of its common stock, or approximately
7
% of its outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2024. The repurchase program will expire on March 31, 2026, subject to earlier termination of the program by the Company's Board of Directors. Shares may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased
415,000
shares of its common stock at a total cost of $
4.6
million. All of these shares have been cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the balance of 2025, or for any other period. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations.
This Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and written or oral communications made from time to time by or on behalf of FVCBankcorp, Inc. and our subsidiary (the “Company”), may contain statements relating to future events or our future results that are considered “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking statements include without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:
•
general business and economic conditions, including higher inflation and its impacts, nationally or in the markets that we serve could adversely affect, among other things, real estate valuations, unemployment levels, the ability of businesses to remain viable, consumer and business confidence, and consumer or business spending, which could lead to decreases in demand for loans, deposits, and other financial services that we provide and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;
•
the concentration of our business in and around the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the effects of changes in the economic, political, and environmental conditions on this market, including potential reductions in spending by the U.S. government and related reductions in the federal workforce;
•
the impact of the interest rate environment on our business, financial condition and results of operation, and its impact on the composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities;
•
changes in our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities;
•
changes in the assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses and the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected;
•
the management of risks inherent in our real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market, which could impair the value of loan collateral and the ability to sell collateral upon any foreclosure;
•
changes in market conditions, specifically declines in the commercial and residential real estate market, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and soundness of other financial institutions that we do business with;
•
the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
•
our investment securities portfolio is subject to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk as well as changes in the estimates used to value the securities in the portfolio;
•
declines in our common stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to record a noncash impairment charge to earnings in future periods;
•
potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber-crime, and our ability to maintain the security of our data processing and information technology systems;
33
•
the impact of changes in bank regulatory conditions, including laws, regulations and policies concerning capital requirements, deposit insurance premiums, taxes, securities, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies;
•
the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time to time by bank regulatory agencies, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other accounting standards setting bodies;
•
competitive pressures among financial services companies, including the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;
•
the effect of acquisitions and partnerships we may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;
•
our involvement, from time to time, in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators;
•
geopolitical conditions, including trade restrictions and tariffs, and acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to trade restrictions and tariffs, and acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; and
•
the occurrence of significant natural disasters, including severe weather conditions, floods, health related issues or emergencies, and other catastrophic events.
The foregoing factors should not be considered exhaustive and should be read together with other cautionary statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors”. If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking information and statements. We will not update the forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence or how they will affect our operations, financial condition, or results of operations.

Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia. Our sole subsidiary, FVCbank (the "Bank"), was formed in November 2007 as a community-oriented, locally-owned and managed commercial bank under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank offers a wide range of traditional bank loan and deposit products and services to both our commercial and retail customers. Our commercial relationship officers focus on attracting small and medium sized businesses, commercial real estate developers and builders, including government contractors, non-profit organizations, and professionals. Our approach to our market features competitive customized financial services offered to customers and prospects in a personal relationship context by seasoned professionals.
Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. We define revenue as net interest income plus noninterest income. We manage our balance sheet and interest rate risk exposure to maximize, and concurrently stabilize, net interest income. We do this by monitoring our liquidity position and the spread between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but are unable to eliminate it entirely. In addition to managing interest rate risk, we also analyze our loan portfolio for exposure to credit risk. Loan defaults and foreclosures are inherent risks in the banking industry, and we attempt to limit our exposure to these risks by carefully underwriting and then monitoring our extensions of credit. In addition to net interest income, noninterest income is a complementary source of revenue for us and includes, among other things, service charges on deposits and loans, income from our minority membership interest in Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC ("ACM"), merchant services fee income, insurance commission income, income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), and gains and losses on sales of investment securities available-for-sale.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The accounting principles we apply under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting, and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions, judgments, and estimates when applying these principles where precise measurements are not possible or practical. These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions, and estimates. Changes in such judgments, assumptions, and estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Actual results, in fact, could differ from initial estimates.
The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to judgments, assumptions, and estimates regarding the determination of the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolio.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
We maintain the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at a level that represents management’s best estimate of expected losses in our loan portfolio.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 requires that an estimate of expected credit losses be immediately recognized and reevaluated over the contractual life of the financial asset. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries are recorded to the extent they do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off.
Reserves on loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Nonaccrual loans are specifically reviewed for loss potential and when deemed appropriate are assigned a reserve based on an individual evaluation. The remainder of the portfolio, representing all loans not evaluated individually, is segmented based on call report code and processed through a non-discounted cash flow valuation model. In particular, loan-level probability of default ("PD") and severity (also referred to as loss given default ("LGD")) is applied to derive a baseline expected loss as of the valuation date. These expected default and severity rates, which are regression-derived and based on peer historical loan-level performance data, are calibrated to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments.
Typically, financial institutions use their historical loss experience and trends in losses for each loan segment which are then adjusted for portfolio trends and economic and environmental factors in determining the ACL. Since the Bank’s inception in 2007, we have experienced minimal loss history within our loan portfolio. Due to the fact that limited
35
internal loss history exists to generate statistical significance, we determined it was most prudent to rely on peer data when deriving our best estimate of PD and LGD. As part of our estimation process, we will continue to assess the reasonableness of the data, assumptions, and model methodology utilized to derive our allowance for credit losses.
For each of the modeled loan segments, we generate cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, PD rates, and LGD rates. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds is based on internal loan-level historical data. For our cash flow model, we utilize national unemployment for reasonable and supportable forecasting of expected default. To further adjust the ACL for expected losses not already within the quantitative component of the calculation, we may consider qualitative factors as prescribed in ASC 326.
While our methodology in establishing the ACL attributes portions of a combined reserve to multiple elements, we believe that the combined allowance for credit losses (which is inclusive of the reserve for unfunded commitments) represents the most appropriate coverage metric for loss absorption purposes.
The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside our control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While we make every effort to utilize the best information available in making our assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others. Our methodology utilized in the estimation of the ACL, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in our loan portfolio credit quality, composition, and forecasted economic conditions. The review of the reasonableness and appropriateness of the ACL is reviewed by the ACL Committee for approval as of the valuation date. Additionally, information is provided to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis along with our consolidated financial statements.
Credit losses are an inherent part of our business and, although we believe the methodologies for determining the ACL and the current level of the allowance are appropriate, it is possible that there may be unidentified losses in the portfolio at any particular time that may become evident at a future date pursuant to additional internal analysis or regulatory comment. Additional provisions for such losses, if necessary, would be recorded, and would negatively impact earnings.

Results of Operations— Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Overview
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded net income of $5.2 million, or $0.28 d
iluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.8 million. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024
included the surrender of certain BOLI policies with an aggregate cash surrender value of $48.0 million. Upon the surrender, we received a cash payout and were required to accrue additional income tax on the appreciation of those policies which had previously been treated as tax-exempt income. This resulted in additional statutory income tax expense of $1.6 million and tax penalties of $722 thousand. The tax penalties related to the surrender of the BOLI were recorded in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $15.1 million, compared to $12.8 million for the same period of 2024, an increase of $2.3 million, or 18%. Provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $200 thousand, compared to none for the same period of 2024. Noninterest income was $671 thousand and $395 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $276 thousand, or 70%. Noninterest expense
was $9.1 million
and $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively
, an increase of $508 thousand,
or 6%.
The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 0.94% and 0.25%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 8.61% and 2.44%, respectively.
Commercial bank operating earnings, which exclude the above mentioned nonrecurring taxes on the surrender of our BOLI policies, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $5.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, an increase of $1.4 million, or 38%. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $0.28 and $0.20, respectively.
We consider commercial bank operating earnings a useful financial measure of our operating performance. Commercial bank operating earnings is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below.

Net interest income totaled
$15.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a
n increase of $2.3 million, or 18%.
The increase in net interest income is primarily due to an increase in loan interest income as the loan portfolio reprices in this higher interest rate environment.
Our net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was
2.83%
and 2.47%, respectively, an increase of 36 basis points, or 15%. T
he increase in our net interest margin was a result of continued repricing of our loan renewals and newly originated loans to current market interest rates over the past year.
We have also reduced the cost of our funding sources simultaneously with federal funds rate decisions during 2024. The yield on interest-earning asset
s increased 16 basis points to 5.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2025
, compared to
5.15% for
the same period of 2024,
a result of the increased rate environment over the past year.
Our cost of fund
s decreased 12 basis points t
o 2.8
3%
for the three months ended March 31, 2025,
compared to 2.95% for the same period of 2024.
Average interest-earning assets
increased $69.8 million, or 3%, t
o
$2.15 billion
at March 31, 2025 compared to $2.08 billion at March 31, 2024.
This increase was primarily related to an increase in interest-bearing deposits held at other financial institutions.
Total interest incom
e increased $1.7 million, or 6%, to $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024
. The increase in our a
verage volume was the main driver to the increase in our interest income, contributing $1.9 million of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the year ago quarter, offset by a decrease in the average rate which decreased interest income $164 thousand.
Average loans receivable increased $25.7 million to $1.87 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.84 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The yield on average loans increased 19 basis points to 5.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in our average loan yields was primarily a result of the repricing of the loan portfolio at higher interest rates. Average balances of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans, are included in the net interest margin calculation and did not have a material impact on our net interest margin in 2025 and 2024.
Average interest-earning deposits at other financial institutions, consisting primarily of excess cash reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve, increased $60.3 million to $87.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $27.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The yield on average interest-earning deposits at other financial institutions decreased 99 basis points to 4.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, primarily as a result of the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to decrease its targeted federal funds rate 100 basis points during 2024.
Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $48.6 million to $1.58 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $1.53 billion at March 31, 2024. Conversely, interest expense decreased $530 thousand to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The decrease in the average rate contributed $439 thousand to the decrease in interest expense for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.
Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $107.3 million to $1.51 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $1.41 billion at March 31, 2024. Interest expense on deposits increased $251 thousand to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily a result of the increase in average total interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $25.5 million, or 7%, to $354.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $380.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as customers continue to move excess funds from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing deposit products. Average interest checking deposits increased $117.2 million to $617.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $499.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average savings and money market deposits increased $90.1 million to $390.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $300.4 million for the same period of 2024. Average time deposits decreased $44.5 million to $256.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $300.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024
. Av
erage wholesale deposits decreased $55.5 million to $249.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $305.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Average other borrowed funds decreased $57.8 million to $50.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $107.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on other borrowed funds decreased
41
$769 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to $468 thousand compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2024.
Provision Expense and Allowance for Credit Losses
Our policy is to maintain the ACL at a level that represents our best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio as of the valuation date. Both the amount of the provision and the level of the allowance for credit losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers.
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $200 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025
and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was
$18.4 million
and $18.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 0.98% and 0.97% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We lend to well-established and relationship-driven borrowers which has contributed to our track record of low historical credit losses. We continue to maintain our disciplined credit guidelines during the current rate environment. We proactively monitor the impact of interest rates on our adjustable loans as the industry navigates through this economic cycle of increased inflation and higher interest rates. Nonperforming loans, net of fees, at March 31, 2025 tota
led $10.7 million, or 0.48% of
total assets, compared to $12.8 million, or 0.58%, of total assets at December 31, 2024
. We had no other real estate owned at
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We recorded net recoveries of $139 thousand and $30 thousand for the quarters e
nded March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest and still accruing, were
$10.7 million and $12.8 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, a decrease of $2.1
million. The decrease in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2025
is primarily due to a decrease in loans past due over 90 days at March 31, 2025.
Loans that we have classified as nonperforming are a result of customer specific deterioration, mostly financial in nature, that are not a result of economic, industry, or environmental causes that we might see as a pattern for possible future losses within our loan portfolio. For each of our criticized assets, we individually evaluate each loan, generally through the performance of a collateral analysis to determine the amount of allowance required. As a result of the analysis completed, we had a reserve for individually assessed loans totaling $462 thousand and $468 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our ratio of nonperforming loans to total assets was 0.48% and 0.58% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We had no other real estate owned and there were no loan modifications for borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024
.
We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. At March 31, 2025, w
e had $4.6 million in loans identified as special mention, an increase of $1.3 million from December 31, 2024. Special mention rated loans have a potential weakness that deserves our close attention; howev
er, the borrower continues to pay in accordance with their contractual terms, unless modified and disclosed.
The increase
from December 31, 2024 was primarily a result of downgrading two loan relationships to special mention during the first quarter of 2025. Loans rated as special mention are generally considered to be well-secured, and are not individually evaluated.
At March 31, 2025, we had
$10.7 million
in loans identified as substandard, a
decrease of $459 thousand fro
m $11.2 million as of December 31, 2024, which was primarily a result of one loan being upgraded during the first quarter of 2025. Substandard rated loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. For each of these substandard loans, a liquidation analysis is completed. At March 31, 2025, reserves for individually assessed loans totaling
$462 thousand
were allocated within the allowance for credit losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

We recorded annualized net recoveries
of (0.03)% and
(0.01)% for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively. The following table provides additional information on our asset quality for the dates presented.

We closely and proactively monitor the effects of recent market activity. As mentioned above, our commercial real estate loan portfolio total
ed $1.01 billion, or 54% of to
tal loans, at March 31, 2025 and $1.04 billion, or 56% of total loans, at December 31, 2024. The commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. We manage this portfolio in a disciplined manner, and have comprehensive policies to monitor, measure, and mitigate our loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring, and administrative practices. Included in commercial real estate are loans secured by office properties to
taling $121.9 million, or 6% of
total loans, which are primarily located in the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of our market area, with
only $2.3 million, or 0.12% of t
otal loans, located in Washington, D.C. Loans secured by retail properties tota
l $244.9 million, or 13% of t
otal loans, at March 31, 2025. Loans secured by multi-family commercial properties
totaled $158.9 million, or 8%
of total loans, at March 31, 2025.

(1).
Loan-to-value is based on collateral valuation at origination date against current bank owned principal.
(2).
Bank-owned principal is not adjusted for deferred fees and costs.
(3).
Minimum debt service coverage policy is 1.30x for owner occupied and 1.25x for non-owner occupied at origination.
The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality, with one classified delinquency at March 31, 2025 to
taling $10.2 million, which has a specific reserve of $462 thousand.
During our assessment of the allowance for credit losses on loans, we addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believe that as a result of our conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination and our ongoing loan monitoring procedures, we have appropriately reserved for possible credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, there
were no performing loans considered potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans that are not included in the 90 days or more past due, nonaccrual, or r
est
ructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes us to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories. We take a conservative approach with respect to risk rating loans in our portfolio. Based upon the status as a potential problem loan, these loans receive heightened scrutiny and ongoing intensive
47
risk management. Additionally, our allowance for credit losses on loans estimation methodology adjusts expected losses to calibrate the likelihood of a default event to occur through the use of risk ratings.
Unexpected changes in economic growth could adversely affect our loan portfolio, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which would adversely impact our charge-offs, allowance for credit losses, and provision for credit losses. Deterioration in real estate values, employment data and household incomes may also result in higher credit losses for us. Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer. A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our business, perhaps materially, and the systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries, may not function as we have anticipated.
See “Critical Accounting Policies” above for more information on our allowance for credit losses methodology.
The following tables present additional information pertaining to the activity in and allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans by loan type and the percentage of the loan type to the total loan portfolio for the periods and at the dates presented. The allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans to a category of loans is not necessarily indicative of future losses or charge-offs, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to any specific category of loans.

Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio is used as a source of income and liquidity. The investment portfolio consists of investment securities available-for-sale and investment securities held-to-maturity. Investment securities available-for-sale are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily until maturity. These securities are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of an asset/liability strategy, liquidity management, or regulatory capital management. Investment securities held-to-maturity at each of March 31, 2025 and 2024 tota
led $265 thousand
, and are those securities that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of our investment securities available-for-sale w
as $158.7 million at
March 31, 2025, an
increase of $2.2 million, or 1%,
from $156.5 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the market value of the investment securities portfolio totaling $4.6 million offset by principal repayments and maturities of $3.3 million.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of the investment securities portfolio consisted of securities rated AAA by a leading rating agency. Investment securities which carry a AAA rating are judged to be of the best quality and carry the smallest degree of investment risk. All of our mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Government National Mortgage Association. The effective duration of the investment securities portfolio continues to be slightly over five years, which is within the industry average. Investment securities that were pledged to secure public deposits totaled
$20.2 million
and $55.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 326, we complete periodic assessments on at least a quarterly basis to determine if credit deterioration exists within our investment securities portfolio and if an allowance for credit losses would be required as of a valuation date. As a result of the assessment performed as of March 31, 2025, the investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent rising interest rate conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of credit deterioration. Contractual cash flows for agency-backed portfolios are guaranteed and funded by the U.S. government. Municipal securities have third party protective elements and there are no negative indications that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due. We do not intend to sell nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of our investment securities portfolio prior to the recovery of the amortized cost as of the valuation da
te. As such, no impairment w
as recognized for our investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2025.
We hold restricted investments in equities of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") and FHLB. At March 31, 2025, we owned $3.6 million in FRB stock and $4.0 million
in FHLB stock. At December 31, 2024, we owned $4.1 million in FRB stock and $4.0 million in FHLB stock.

Total deposits increased $36.0 million, or 2%, to $1.91 billion at March 31, 2025 from $1.87 billion at December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $367.1 million at March 31, 2025, or 19.3% of total deposits.
Interest checking deposits
decreased $6.0 million to $617.8 million
at March 31, 2025 compared to $623.8 million at
December 31, 2024
. Savings and money market de
posits increased $13.7 million, or 4%, to $396.8 million a
t March 31, 2025 compared to $383.1 million at
December 31, 2024
.
Time deposits increased $26.8 million, or 11%, to $274.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $248.2 million at December 31, 2024
.
Wholesale deposits were $249.9 million at each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Wholesale deposits are partially fixed at a weighted average rate of 3.44% as we have executed $250.0 million in
pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps to reduce funding costs. In addition, we are a member of the IntraFi Network (“IntraFi”), which gives us the ability to offer Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) products to our customers who seek to maximize Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance protection. When a customer places a large deposit with us for IntraFi, funds are placed into certificates of deposit or other deposit products with other banks in the CDARS and ICS networks in increments of less than
$250 thousand
so that principal and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance protection. These deposits are part of our core deposit base. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had
$328.8 million
and
$269.7 million
, respectively, in CDARS reciprocal and ICS reciprocal products.
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated amount of total uninsured deposits (including collateralized deposits) was
$777.9 million, or 41%,
of total deposits.
The estimate of uninsured deposits generally represents the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 and is calculated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for purposes of the Bank's regulatory reporting requirements. When excluding collateralized deposits, our estimate of uninsured deposits decreases to $577.1 million, or 30.2% of total deposits at
March 31, 2025.

Other borrowed funds, which are comprised of FHLB advances, were $50.0 million at each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Subordinated debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $18.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any federal funds purchased. Our FHLB advances have pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps to reduce our funding costs, and as such, the weighted average rate of these FHLB advances was 3.60% at each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Total wholesale funding (including wholesale deposits and FHLB advances) remained unchanged at $299.9 million
, at March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
Capital Resources
Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability and performance. Our objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth and promote depositor and investor confidence.
Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy utilizing a formula that takes into account the individual risk profile of the financial institution. The minimum capital requirements for the Bank are: (i) a Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. Additionally, a capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and is applicable to the Bank’s CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios. Including the conservation buffer, we currently consider the Bank’s minimum capital ratios to be as follows: 7.00% for CET1; 8.50% for Tier 1 capital; and 10.50% for total capital. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the minimum plus the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation.
We believe that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2025 was $242.3 million, an increase of $7.0 million, compared to $235.4 million at December 31, 2024.
Net income recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 contributed $5.2 million to the increase in shareholders' equity.
Accumulated other comprehensive
loss decreased $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the increase in the market value of our investment securities portfolio.
Total shareholders' equity to total assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was
10.8%
and 10.7%, respectively. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the table below) at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was
$12.75 and $12.52, respectively.
As noted above, regulatory capital levels for the Bank meets those established for "well capitalized" institutions. While we are currently considered "well capitalized," we may from time to time find it necessary to access the capital markets to meet our growth objectives or capitalize on specific business opportunities.
As the Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets, and which does not (i) conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of
52
securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), it is not currently subject to risk-based capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve, pursuant to the small bank holding company policy statement. The Federal Reserve has not historically deemed a bank holding company ineligible for application of the small bank holding company policy statement solely because its common stock is registered under the Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue this practice.
The following tables shows the minimum capital requirements and the Bank's capital position at March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024.

Liquidity
Liquidity in the banking industry is defined as the ability to meet the demand for funds of both depositors and borrowers. We must be able to meet these needs by obtaining funding from depositors or other lenders or by converting non-cash items into cash. The objective of our liquidity management program is to ensure that we always have sufficient resources to meet the demands of our depositors and borrowers. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position provide the base for our liquidity position. We believe we have demonstrated our ability to attract deposits because of our
53
convenient branch locations, personal service, technology and pricing. As of March 31, 2025, estimated uninsured deposits (excluding collateralized deposits) for the Bank
were 30.2% of total deposits
and were
31
.2% at December 31, 2024.
In addition to deposits, we have access to the various wholesale funding markets. These markets include the brokered certificate of deposit market and the federal funds market. We are a member of the IntraFi Network, which allows banking customers to access FDIC insurance protection on deposits through the Bank which exceed FDIC insurance limits. As part of our membership with the IntraFi Network, we have one-way authority for both their CDARs and ICS products which provides the Bank the ability to access additional wholesale funding as needed. We also maintain secured lines of credit with the FRB and the FHLB for which we can borrow up to the allowable amount for the collateral pledged. Having diverse funding alternatives reduces our reliance on any one source for funding.
Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale, totaled
$282.6 million at March 31, 2025, or 13% of total assets, an increase from $247.4 million, or 11% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investment securities available-for-sale that were pledged as collateral for municipal deposits totaled $20.2 million
and $55.1 million, respectively.
Cash flow from amortizing assets or maturing assets also provides funding to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers.

We have established a formal liquidity contingency plan which establishes a liquidity management team and provides guidelines for liquidity management. For our liquidity management program, we first determine our current liquidity position and then forecast liquidity based on anticipated changes in the balance sheet. In this forecast, we expect to maintain a liquidity cushion. We also stress test our liquidity position under several different stress scenarios, from moderate to severe. Guidelines for the forecasted liquidity cushion and for liquidity cushions for each stress scenario have been established. We believe that we have sufficient resources to meet our liquidity needs.
Liquidity is essential to our business. Our liquidity could be impaired by an inability to access the capital markets or by unforeseen outflows of cash, including deposits. This situation may arise due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as general market disruption, negative views about the financial services industry generally, or an operational problem that affects a third party or us. Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by disruptions in the capital markets or other events. While we believe we have a healthy liquidity position and do not anticipate the loss of deposits of any of the significant deposit customers, any of the factors discussed above could materially impact our liquidity position in the future.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
54
The Bank’s maximum 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 is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis and require collateral to support financial instruments when deemed necessary. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on our evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by us, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
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 of up to one year 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. These instruments represent obligations to extend credit or guarantee borrowings and are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The rates and terms of these instruments are competitive with others in the market in which we do business.
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 we have committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issued 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. We hold certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, changes in financial condition, revenue, expenses, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to our business.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit totaled
$186.3 million and $196.7 million, respectively. Commercial and standby letters of credit totaled $24.3 million at March 31, 2025 and
$25.2 million at December 31, 2024.
