      "Our first quarter results demonstrate strong team operational execution and our focus on long-term growth," said Alice Frazier, President and CEO. "Margin expansion, improved operating efficiency, and diversified fee income supported higher profitability, while our planned entry into a new market through new hires and branch expansion positions us well to extend our community banking model and establish client relationships in new markets."

      Expansion in New and Existing Markets

      The Bank announces its expansion into the Winchester-Frederick County, Virginia market. In April, the Bank hired experienced commercial bankers to lead the expansion and expects to open its first office in the City of Winchester in the second quarter of 2026. The Bank also recently hired an experienced commercial banker who will focus on expanding treasury and business deposit market share.

      First Quarter Highlights

      Key highlights of the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, are as follows, with comparisons to the three-month period ending December 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted:

      • Net income increased 28% linked‑quarter and 39% year‑over‑year
      • Return on assets improved to 1.28%
      • Return on equity increased to 14.68%
      • Net interest margin expanded to 3.66%
      • Loans increased by 1% on a linked‑quarter basis and 6% year‑over‑year
      • Deposits increased 4% on a linked‑quarter basis and 9% year‑over‑year
      • Book value per share increased to $20.42

      Net Interest Income

      Net interest income was $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 4% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025. Total interest and dividend income decreased by $630 thousand, which was partially offset by a $239 thousand decrease in total interest expense.

      The decrease in total interest and dividend income was primarily attributable to $405 thousand of interest income on loans recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025 from nonaccrual loan interest on paid off loans. Other interest and dividend income decreased in the first quarter of 2026 from lower average balances of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.

      The decrease in total interest expense was primarily attributable to lower interest expense on deposits as the Bank's cost of deposits decreased during the period.

      The net interest margin increased to 3.66% compared to 3.55% for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting disciplined deposit pricing and a change in the earning asset composition. For better comparability between periods, the Bank excluded interest income collected on a paid-off nonaccrual loan from the net interest margin calculation for the fourth quarter of 2025.

      Noninterest Income

      Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million for the first quarter, up 39% from the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting higher wealth and investment income, gains and fees on mortgage loan sales, gains on sales of SBA loans, and other operating income. Wealth management fees increased $209 thousand, or 39%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was attributable to $97 thousand in non-recurring estate fee income and the wealth management division's implementation of an updated fee schedule late in the first quarter. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $51 thousand, or 12%, from higher client demand for mortgage loans. Gains on the sale of SBA loans totaled $408 thousand in the first quarter of 2026. The SBA loans sold in the first quarter were originated by the Bank in 2025. There were no sales of SBA loans during 2025. Although the Bank anticipates gains on sales of SBA loans in future periods, it expects gains to be less than the amount reported for the first quarter of 2026. Other operating income increased from a $227 thousand death benefit payment from bank-owned life insurance.

      Noninterest Expense

      Noninterest expense totaled $7.1 million for the first quarter, down 5% from the fourth quarter of 2025, with the linked-quarter decrease primarily driven by lower salaries and employee benefits, other professional fees, and other operating expenses. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $94 thousand and were primarily attributable to lower incentive expenses. Additional incentives related to exceeding performance goals impacted the fourth quarter of 2025. Other professional fees decreased $178 thousand and other operating costs decreased $92 thousand. Both categories were impacted by expenses related to the Bank's renaming initiative in the prior period. Renaming expenses totaled $154 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025.

      The Bank expects its plans to expand into new and existing markets to increase salaries and employee benefits, as well as occupancy and equipment expense beginning in the second quarter of 2026.

      Asset Quality

      Overview

      There was no significant change in asset quality during the first quarter. While loans 30 to 89 days past due increased to $1.5 million, loans over 90 days past due decreased to zero and substandard loans still accruing decreased slightly to $432 thousand. Nonperforming assets totaled $257 thousand during the first quarter from one loan relationship placed on nonaccrual status during the period.

      Provision for Credit Losses

      Provision for credit losses totaled $200 thousand for the first quarter compared to $250 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025. Net charge-offs totaled $17 thousand for the quarter, compared to $18 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025. The specific reserve component of the allowance for credit losses increased by $78 thousand and the general reserve component increased by $98 thousand during the first quarter of 2026, primarily from growth of the loan portfolio.

      Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

      The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $8.0 million, or 1.05% of total loans on March 31, 2026, compared to 1.04% of total loans on December 31, 2025, and 1.00% of total loans on March 31, 2025.

The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $7 thousand, compared to the recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments of $59 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025.

      Balance Sheet

      Total assets were $975.8 million on March 31, 2026, compared to $944.3 million on December 31, 2025, and $895.6 million year-over-year. Total loans (gross) were $758.5 million, up 1% from the prior quarter and 6% year-over-year. Deposits totaled $845.4 million, up 4% linked-quarter and up 9% year-over-year.

      Total (gross) loans increased $6.9 million, or 1% during the first quarter and was primarily attributable to an $11.4 million increase in other real estate loans (secured by commercial real estate) and an $11.6 million increase in loans secured by 1-4 family residential homes. The increases were partially offset by a $7.8 million decrease in construction and land development loans and an $8.6 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans. On a year-over-year basis, total loans increased $42.2 million, or 6%.

      Total deposits increased by $32.4 million, or 4%, during the first quarter from growth in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 22% of total deposits at the end of the period. Total deposits increased $73.0 million, or 9%, year-over-year.

      Securities available for sale increased by $11.8 million, or 15%, during the first quarter, and increased $16.0 million, or 21% from one year ago. Net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio totaled $5.2 million on March 31, 2026, which was an increase of $415 thousand from December 31, 2025, and a decrease of $1.2 million year-over-year.

      Other borrowings totaled $29.2 million, compared to $31.5 million on December 31, 2025, and $32.1 million on March 31, 2025. This included $27.0 million borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.21% and maturities ranging from 2026 to 2028.

      Total shareholders' equity totaled $84.6 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 11%, annualized from December 31, 2025, and $8.6 million, or 11%, year-over-year. These increases were primarily driven by growth in retained earnings, which increased $2.5 million quarter-over-quarter and $7.7 million year-over-year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $311 thousand from the prior quarter and decreased by $931 thousand year-over-year.

      Renaming Initiative

      On November 3, 2025, Bank of Charles Town was renamed Potomac Bank, reflecting the Bank's growth and expanding regional presence across the Potomac River region, while also aligning its brand with the holding company.

There were no renaming expenses in the first quarter of 2026. Renaming expenses totaled $154 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025, $82 thousand in the third quarter of 2025, and $22 thousand in the second quarter of 2025.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this release.
