      "We are extremely pleased with our second quarter performance, which produced record quarterly earnings, strong revenue growth, and continued improvement in profitability metrics," said Alice Frazier, President and CEO of Potomac Bancshares. "We experienced strong organic growth across our core markets. Despite early payoffs, loans increased 2% during the quarter and asset quality remained exceptional. Our growth opportunities remain strong for delivering long-term value to our shareholders."

      Expansion in New and Existing Markets

      The Bank previously announced its plans to expand into the Winchester-Frederick County, Virginia market and hired experienced bankers to lead the expansion. Early returns are positive ahead of the first branch expected to open in downtown Winchester late in the third quarter. The Bank's market president will join other employees in the new branch to enable more comprehensive service to business and personal clients.

      Commercial deposit growth remains a strategic priority, leading to the recruitment of an experienced commercial banker dedicated to expanding treasury management services and growing the Bank's commercial deposit portfolio across its markets.

      Second Quarter Highlights

      Key highlights of the three-month period ending June 30, 2026, are as follows, with comparisons to the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, unless otherwise noted:

      • Net income increased 9% linked-quarter and 60% year-over-year
      • Return on assets improved to 1.32%
      • Return on equity increased to 15.52%
      • Net interest margin expanded to 3.76%
      • Loans increased 7% (annualized) and 5% year-over-year
      • Deposits increased 1% (annualized) and 7% year-over-year
      • Book value per share increased to $20.97, or 12% year-over-year
      • Cash dividend increased to $0.15 per share, or 15% over the prior quarter

      Net Interest Income

      Net interest income was $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 9% increase from the first quarter of 2026. Total interest and dividend income increased by $883 thousand, which was partially offset by a $141 thousand increase in total interest expense.

      The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily attributable to a $577 thousand, or 6%, increase in interest income and fees on loans and a $207 thousand, or 25%, increase in other interest income and dividend income. The increases were primarily a result of higher balances of loans and interest-bearing deposits in banks, and $139 thousand of accelerated deferred loan fee income on a loan that was paid off prior to its maturity date during the second quarter.

      The increase in total interest expense was attributable to an increase in interest expense on deposits from higher average interest-bearing deposits. The cost of deposits decreased by 2 basis points to 1.55% for the quarter.

      The net interest margin increased to 3.76% compared to 3.66% for the first quarter of 2026. Approximately 5 basis points of the increase resulted from the recognition of $139 thousand in accelerated deferred loan fee income from a loan that paid off prior to its maturity date. Excluding the favorable impact of the accelerated fee income, net interest margin would have increased to 3.71% for the second quarter, reflecting a favorable trend in earning asset yields and disciplined deposit pricing.

      Noninterest Income

      Noninterest income totaled $2.6 million for the second quarter, which was a 9% decrease from the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a $145 thousand decrease in gains on sales of mortgage loans and a $308 thousand decrease in gains on sales of SBA loans. There was less demand for mortgage loans in the second quarter compared to recent periods. The decrease in gains on sales of SBA loans was attributable to the total dollar amount of loans sold in the first quarter of 2026 being unusually high. The decreases were partially offset by increases in wealth management income, debit card interchange income, and other operating income. Other operating income increased from a $201 thousand loan prepayment penalty on a loan that paid off prior to its maturity date.

      Compared to the second quarter of 2025, noninterest income increased $827 thousand, or 47%, driven by growth in wealth management income, debit card interchange income, other operating income, and gains on sales of SBA loans. Wealth management income increased $292 thousand, or 59%, from the implementation of a new client fee schedule and estate fee income. Other operating income increased $376 thousand from a $201 thousand from income from a prepayment penalty on a loan and the receipt of an annual incentive based on debit card transactions totaling $120 thousand.

      Noninterest Expense

      Noninterest expense totaled $7.2 million, which was a slight increase from the first quarter of 2026. Expenses were comparable to the first quarter of 2026 except for marketing and other operating expenses. Increases in marketing expenses were partially offset by decreases in other operating expenses. Marketing expenses increased $84 thousand from business development costs in the Bank's new market area, initiatives to increase market share in existing markets, and the cost of sponsorships of community events and local non-profit organizations. Other operating expenses decreased $80 thousand from a decrease in fraud losses in the second quarter.

      Asset Quality

      Overview

      Asset quality metrics remained favorable as of June 30, 2026. Loans past due greater than 30 days and still accruing interest as a percentage of total loans were 0.56% on June 30, 2026, compared to 0.23% on March 31, 2026, and 0.42% on June 30, 2025. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.05% on June 30, 2026, compared to 0.03% on March 31, 2026, and 0.24% on June 30, 2025. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of total loans were 0.13% for the second quarter of 2026 and the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $7.9 million, or 1.03% of total loans.

      Provision for Credit Losses

      Provision for credit losses totaled $250 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $200 thousand for the first quarter of 2026 and $225 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses was comprised of a $60 thousand provision for loans and a $40 thousand provision for unfunded commitments.

      Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

      The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $7.9 million, or 1.03% of total loans on June 30, 2026, compared to 1.05% of total loans on March 31, 2026, and 0.99% of total loans on June 30, 2025.

      The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $477 thousand on June 30, 2026, and $437 thousand on March 31, 2026. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $40 thousand, compared to the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $7 thousand for the first quarter of 2026.

      Balance Sheet

      Assets totaled $981.4 million on June 30, 2026, which was a 2% increase (annualized) from March 31, 2026, and a 7% increase year-over-year. There was no significant change in the Bank's asset composition when comparing balances on June 30, 2026, to balances on March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025.

      Securities available for sale increased $3.9 million, or 17% annualized, during the second quarter, and increased $19.9 million, or 26% from one year ago. Net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio totaled $5.8 million on June 30, 2026, which was an increase of $574 thousand from March 31, 2026, and a decrease of $728 thousand from June 30, 2025.

      Total (gross) loans increased $13.2 million, or 7% annualized, during the second quarter, which was primarily attributable to an $8.1 million increase in other real estate loans (secured by commercial real estate) and a $3.8 million increase in construction and land development loans. The loan growth occurred despite approximately $12.0 million of loans that paid off prior to their maturity dates during the second quarter. On a year-over-year basis, total loans increased $35.3 million, or 5%.

      Total deposits increased $2.4 million, or 1% annualized, during the second quarter, and increased $52.9 million, or 7%, year-over-year. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled 23% of total deposits at the end of the period, which was up from 22% on March 31, 2026.

      Other borrowings totaled $30.0 million on June 30, 2026, compared to $29.2 million on March 31, 2026, and $31.8 million one year ago. 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 maturity dates ranging from 2026 to 2028.

      Shareholders' equity totaled $86.9 million on June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.3 million, or 11% annualized from March 31, 2026, and $9.4 million, or 12%, from one year ago. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in retained earnings. Retained earnings increased $2.7 million, or 15% annualized, quarter-over-quarter, and $8.8 million, or 13%, year-over-year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $431 thousand from the first quarter of 2026 and decreased $594 thousand year-over-year from changes in market rates.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.
