Frazier continued, "Our tangible book value per share increased 11% year-over-year, while maintaining strong asset quality and capital levels. Looking ahead, we remain focused on expanding through our business lines and leveraging technology to enhance client experiences and operational efficiencies."

Third Quarter Highlights

Key highlights of the three-month period ending September 30, 2025, are as follows. Comparisons are to the three-month period ending June 30, 2025, unless otherwise stated:

  • Net income increased 12%, and 32% year-over-year

  • Quarterly cash dividend on common stock remained $0.13 per share

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $430 thousand, or 6%, to $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, driven by growth in earning assets and a higher net interest margin. Total interest and dividend income rose $837 thousand, primarily due to a $765 thousand increase in interest income and fees on loans, reflecting a 20-basis point increase in loan yield to 5.63% and a $20.2 million increase in average balances. Interest expense increased $407 thousand, driven by an 8% rise in deposit costs from a 15-basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The total cost of funds was 1.94%, up 13 basis points from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, a $148 thousand, or 8%, increase from Q2 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher wealth and investment income, gains and fees on mortgage loan sales, and increased ATM and check card fee income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses totaled $6.8 million for the third quarter, a $286 thousand, or 4%, increase from the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher professional fees, trust-related expenses, and other operating costs.

Asset Quality

Overview

Asset quality remained strong during the third quarter. Loans past due greater than 30 days and still accruing interest were 0.09% of total loans as of September 30, 2025.

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $7.5 million, or 1.03% of total loans.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses totaled $200 thousand for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $225 thousand in the second quarter of 2025 and $202 thousand for the third quarter of 2024.

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $7.5 million on September 30, 2025, $7.4 million on June 30, 2025, and $7.1 million on September 30, 2024. Net charge-offs totaled $13 thousand in the third quarter of 2025, $45 thousand in the second quarter of 2025, compared to net recoveries of $37 thousand in the third quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2025, total assets were $962.0 million, an increase of $41.7 million, or 18% annualized, from June 30, 2025. As noted below, deposits reflect a short-term large deposit of $25 million which is included in cash.

Loans totaled $732.1 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 2% annualized, from the prior quarter. However, quarterly average loans rose to $735.9 million, up $20.2 million, or 11% annualized, from Q2 2025. The decrease in loans during the third quarter was attributable to loan payoffs that were slightly greater than prior periods. On a year-over-year basis, loans increased $45.5 million, or 7%.

Deposits grew to $833.4 million, an increase of $38.6 million, or 19% annualized, from June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a large deposit in a client account that was short term in nature during the third quarter. Quarterly average deposits were $808.8 million, up $20.5 million, or 10% annualized, from the prior quarter. Compared to September 30, 2024, total deposits increased $83.7 million, or 11%.

Shareholders' equity totaled $80.4 million, an increase of $2.9 million from June 30, 2025, and $7.9 million from September 30, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Plan

On October 19, 2025, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan pursuant to which Potomac Bancshares, Inc. may repurchase up to the aggregate of 100,000 shares or $2.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Potomac Bancshares, Inc. intends to purchase shares periodically through privately negotiated transactions or in the open market. The Company's board of directors authorized the purchase plan to run through October 19, 2027, unless the entire amount authorized to be repurchased has been acquired before that date. Potomac Bancshares, Inc. intends to fund the repurchase plan with a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from ongoing operations.

There is no guarantee as to the exact number of, or value of, shares that will be repurchased by the Company, and Potomac Bancshares, Inc. may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional repurchases are unwarranted. The timing and amount of share repurchases under the stock repurchase plan will depend on a number of factors, including Potomac Bancshares, Inc. stock price performance, ongoing capital planning considerations, and general market conditions.

Bank of Charles Town Announces New Name

On November 3, 2025, Bank of Charles Town will be renamed Potomac Bank. The transition not only reflects the Bank's significant growth and expanding regional presence across the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, Washington County, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, it also affirms the foresight of its Board of Directors who established and named its holding company Potomac Bancshares over 30 years ago.

The name Potomac Bank was chosen to symbolize the powerful connection shared among the diverse communities the bank serves, all united by the namesake Potomac River, which has shaped the region's geography, history, and prosperity. This transition is a natural progression that honors the bank's heritage and values while celebrating the shared connection that unites the bank's identity.

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 the Company's management believes provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, pre-provision pre-tax earnings, adjusted pre-provision pre-tax earnings, fully taxable equivalent interest income, the net interest margin, the efficiency ratio, tangible book value per share, and tangible common equity to tangible assets.

The Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business, performance, and financial position. 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.
