OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goal is to maximize the Company’s earnings to increase long-term shareholder value. We monitor four key financial performance measures to determine our success in realizing this goal: 1) return on average assets, 2) return on average equity, 3) net income per share, and 4) tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure).

•
ROAA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of 1.30% increased 18 bps when compared to the ROAA of 1.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as net income was higher in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.

•
ROAE for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 11.34% compared to 11.05% realized in same period in the prior year.

•
Net income per diluted share was $0.97 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.83 for the same period in the prior year. The period over period increases were due to the rise in net income, as described below.

•
Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased to $32.51 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $28.84 as of March 31, 2025. The increase is the result of total equity increasing period over period, coupled with the offsetting impact of intangible assets declining over the same period.

Refer to the Results of Operations, Non-GAAP Presentation section, later in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for more discussion on financial performance measures determined other than in accordance with GAAP.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to the Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section under Item 8 in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets

The total assets of the Company as of March 31, 2026 were $1.6 billion. This is a $1.6 million, or 0.1%, decrease from total assets reported at December 31, 2025.

Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2026 totaled $246.6 million, a decrease of $7.5 million compared with the $254.2 million reported at December 31, 2025. The decrease from year-end was the result of maturities and normal cash flow. Paydowns within the securities portfolio are being held in overnight investments to fund loan growth as demands arise. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the investment securities holdings represented 15.0% and 15.4% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.

The Company’s investment securities portfolio included restricted securities totaling $6.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These securities represent stock in the FRB, the FHLB, CBB Financial Corporation (the holding company for Community Bankers' Bank), and an investment in an SBA loan fund. The level of FRB and FHLB stock that the Company is required to hold is determined in accordance with membership guidelines provided by the Federal Reserve and the FHLB, respectively. Stock ownership in CBB Financial Corporation provides the Company with several benefits that are not available to non-shareholder correspondent banks. None of these restricted securities are traded on the open market and can only be redeemed by the respective issuer.

26

At March 31, 2026, the unrestricted securities portfolio totaled $240.4 million. The following table summarizes the Company's AFS securities by type as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

The unrestricted securities are held primarily for earnings, liquidity, and asset/liability management purposes and are reviewed quarterly for possible impairments indicating credit losses. During this review, management analyzes the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for each security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery or maturity. These factors are analyzed for each individual security.

Loan portfolio

A management objective is to grow loan balances while maintaining the asset quality of the loan portfolio. The Company seeks to achieve this objective by maintaining rigorous underwriting standards coupled with regular evaluation of the creditworthiness of, and the designation of lending limits for, each borrowing relationship. The portfolio strategies include seeking industry, loan size, and loan type diversification to minimize credit exposure and ori

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Virginia National Bankshares Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information, and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

Following are the accounting policies and estimates that the Company considers as critical:

•
Allowance for credit losses - The Company establishes the ACL through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the ACL for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, if collateral dependent, when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. The ACL represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans held for investment, and is recorded at an amount that, in management’s judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be collected. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the ACL is based on evaluations of historical loan losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to the collectability of loans. Various national economic variables are utilized in the development of the ACL, including the national unemployment rate and national gross domestic product. In addition, management’s estimate of expected credit losses is based on the remaining life of certain consumer loans held for investment, and changes in expected prepayment behavior may result in changes in the remaining life of loans and expected credit losses. Management also assesses the risk of credit losses arising from changes in general market, economic and business conditions; the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; the volume and severity of delinquencies and adversely classified loan balances and the value of underlying collateral in determining the recorded balance of the ACL. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In evaluating the level of the ACL, the Company considers a range of possible assumptions and outcomes related to the various factors identified above. The level of the ACL is particularly sensitive to changes in the actual and forecasted national unemployment rate and changes in current conditions or reasonably expected future conditions affecting the collectability of loans.

Non-GAAP Presentations

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of the Company’s performance. These include tangible book value per share and the following fully-taxable equivalent measures: net interest income-FTE, efficiency ratio-FTE and net interest margin-FTE. Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis (which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid) using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21% that was applicable for all periods presented.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods, other financial institutions, and between different

34

sources of interest income. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of (1) balances of intangible assets, including goodwill, that vary significantly between institutions and (2) tax benefits that are not consistent across different opportunities for investment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to, or more important than, GAAP-basis financial statements, and other banks and bank holding companies may define or calculate these or similar measures differently. Net income is discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis on a GAAP basis unless noted as “non-GAAP.”

A reconcilement of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company's performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below:

1 FTE calculations use a Federal income tax rate of 21%.

2 The efficiency ratio, GAAP basis, is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

3 The efficiency ratio, FTE, is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income.

Results of Operations

Consolidated Return on Assets and Equity and Other Key Ratios

The ratio of net income to average total assets and average shareholders' equity and certain other ratios for the years indicated are as follows:

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $19.3 million, or $3.55 per diluted share, a 13.5% increase compared to $17.0 million, or $3.15 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was the result of a $5.1 million increase in net interest income and a $1.5 million decrease in noninterest income, offset by a $282.0 thousand decrease in noninterest expense. Each component of such year-over-year changes are described in more detail below.

The efficiency ratio (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 57.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 62.0% for the same period of 2024, increasing due to the fluctuations in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense noted above.

35

The Company had two reportable segments during the 2025 period: the Bank and VNB Trust and Estate Services and three in the 2024 period: the Bank, VNB Trust and Estate Services and Masonry Capital.

•
Bank - The Bank’s commercial banking activities involve making loans, taking deposits and offering related services to individuals, businesses and charitable organizations. Loan fee income, service charges from deposit accounts, and other non-interest-related revenue, such as fees for debit cards and ATM usage and fees for treasury management services, generate additional income for this segment.

•
VNB Trust and Estate Services - This segment offers corporate trustee services, trust and estate administration, IRA administration and custody services and offers in-house investment management services. Revenue for this segment is generated from administration, service and custody fees, as well as management fees which are derived from Assets Under Management. Investment management services currently are offered through affiliated and third-party managers.

•
Masonry Capital (Masonry) - Masonry Capital offers investment management services for separately managed accounts and a private investment fund employing a value-based, catalyst-driven investment strategy. Revenue for this segment is generated from management fees which are derived from Assets Under Management and incentive income which is based on the investment returns generated on performance-based Assets Under Management. Note that the membership interests in this business line were sold to an officer of Masonry effective April 1, 2024. Subsequent to the date of sale, the Company will receive an annual revenue-share amount for a period of six years. No expenses have been or will be incurred by the Company related to Masonry subsequent to April 1, 2024.

The Bank segment earned net income of $19.6 million in 2025, a $2.3 million increase compared to the $17.2 million netted in 2024. VNB Trust and Estate Services realized a net loss of $306 thousand in 2025, compared to a net loss of $275 thousand in 2024. Masonry Capital realized a net loss of $2 thousand in 2024.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

36

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is computed as the difference between the interest income on earning assets and the interest expense on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income represents the principal source of revenue for the Company and accounted for 89.4% of the total revenue in 2025. Net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities impact net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) and net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP).

The following table details the average balance sheet, including an analysis of net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) for earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Consolidated Average Balance Sheets and Analysis of Net Interest Income (FTE) (non-GAAP)

(1)
Tax-exempt income for investment securities has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE), using a Federal income tax rate of 21%. Refer to the Reconcilement of Non-GAAP Measures table within the Non-GAAP Presentations earlier in this section.

(2)
Interest rate spread is the average yield earned on earning assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

(3)
Net interest margin (FTE) is net interest income (FTE) expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

37

The purpose of the volume and rate analysis below is to describe the impact on the net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) of the Company resulting from changes in average balances and average interest rates for the periods indicated. The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Interest income is reported on a tax-equivalent basis.

Volume and Rate Analysis

2025 compared to 2024

2024 compared to 2023

For 2025, net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) of $51.9 million was recognized, an increase of $5.1 million over 2024. Net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) for 2024 totaled $46.7 million, a $2.6 million decrease over the 2023 total of $49.3 million. Average earning assets increased $19.2 million or 1.3% in 2025 compared to 2024 and increased $37.8 million or 2.6% in 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in the average balance of loans in the real estate and commercial categories was the primary driver of the increase in interest income from 2024 to 2025, whereas the 2023 to 2024 change in interest

38

income was primarily driven by interest rate changes. The average balance for loans as a percentage of earnings assets for 2025 was 80.9%, compared to 77.5% and 66.8% in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The 2025 net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) improved 30 bps to 3.40% from 3.10% in 2024. The 2024 net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) declined 26 bps from 3.36% in 2023. The tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets for 2025 of 5.09% was 2 bps higher than the 2024 yield of 5.07%. The 2024 tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets was 28 bps higher than the comparable 2023 yield of 4.79%. Loan yields for 2025 were 5.65%, declining 6 bps from the loan yield of 5.71% for 2024. Average loans for 2025 of $1.2 billion were $66.5 million higher than the 2024 average of $1.2 billion.

The decrease in rates paid on deposits in 2025 compared to 2024 positively impacted net interest income. Interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets decreased to 169 bps for 2025. Net interest margin will be impacted by future changes in short-term and long-term interest rate levels on deposits, as well as the impact from the competitive environment. A continuing primary driver of the Company’s low cost of funds compared to peers is the Company’s level of non-interest bearing demand deposits and low-cost deposit accounts. Following is a table illustrating the average balances of deposit accounts as a percentage of total deposit account balances.

Provision for Credit Losses

The level of the ACL reflects changes in the size of the portfolio or in any of its components, as well as management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, and economic, political and regulatory conditions. Additional information concerning management’s methodology in determining the adequacy of the ACL is contained later in this section under allowance for credit losses, in addition to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, found in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Based on management's continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio in 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $137 thousand, which includes a $75 thousand provision for unfunded commitments, compared to a net recovery of provision expense of $600 thousand, which included a $118 thousand provision for unfunded commitments, in 2024. The 2025 individual differences in the balances of various pools as well as changing loss rates have resulted in only nominal changes to the overall ACL ratio. The proportionate increase in government-guaranteed loans over the respective periods is also a main driver holding the ACL as a percentage of total loans fairly steady year-over-year. The decrease in 2024 is primarily the of the impact of declining expected loss rates on most of the pools of loans within the CECL segmentation.

The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.67% at December 31, 2025 compared to 0.68% at December 31, 2024.

39

The following is a summary of the changes in the ACL for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Noninterest Income

The major components of noninterest income are detailed below. Year-to-year variances are shown for each noninterest income category.

Noninterest income of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $1.5 million over the prior year, as a result of the following:

Wealth management fees decreased $258 thousand. These fees vary based on the total assets under management portfolio and market changes. Debit/credit card and ATM fees decreased $531 thousand due to decreased debit card usage. Additionally, in 2024 there was a $904 thousand gain on the early redemption of debt but this did not reoccur in 2025.

Noninterest Expense

The major components of noninterest expense are detailed below. Year-over-year variances are shown for each noninterest expense category.

40

Noninterest expense of $33.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $282 thousand from the prior year. This decrease was predominantly due to $666 thousand less in data processing expenses resulting from contract negotiations with the Company's core provider. Normal, recurring increases in salaries and employee benefits in the form of merit increases and benefit costs were offset by a reduction in headcount during 2025. At December 31, 2025, the Company had 144 full-time equivalent employees compared to 146 at December 31, 2024.

Core deposit intangible amortization expense is a result of the Merger and amounted to $1.1 million in 2025 and $1.3 million in 2024.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon the results of operations, adjusted for the effect of certain tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses. In addition, certain items of income and expense are reported in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recognized currently in the deferred income tax provision or benefit. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the applicable enacted marginal tax rate.

For 2025, the Company provided $4.8 million for Federal income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 20.0%. In 2024, the Company provided $3.9 million for Federal income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 18.8%. The effective income tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds and tax-exempt interest from bank owned life insurance policies.

More information on income taxes, including net deferred taxes can be found in Note 11 – Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which is found in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Securities

The investment securities portfolio has a primary role in the management of the Company’s liquidity requirements and interest rate sensitivity, as well as generating significant interest income. Investment securities also play a key role in diversifying the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, a portion of the investment securities portfolio is pledged as collateral for public fund deposits. Changes in deposit and other funding balances and in loan production will impact the overall level of the investment portfolio.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s investment portfolio totaled $254.2 million, with obligations of U.S. government corporations and government-sponsored enterprises amounting to $154.8 million, or approximately 61% of the total. The Company’s investment portfolio totaled $269.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not sell any securities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $49.8 million of securities were sold incurring a pre-tax loss of $4 thousand. These sales were part of strategic decisioning to reinvest proceeds into higher yielding assets. Management proactively manages the mix of earning assets and cost of funds to maximize the earning capacity of the Company.

In accordance with ASC 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” the Company has categorized its unrestricted securities portfolio as Available for Sale. Securities classified as AFS may be sold in the future, prior to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as AFS would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. AFS securities are carried at fair value. Net aggregate unrealized gains or losses on these securities are included, net of taxes, as a component of shareholders’ equity. All of the Company’s unrestricted securities were investment grade or better as of December 31, 2025. Management has evaluated whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses and has determined that no credit loss provision is required as of December 31, 2025 related to the AFS portfolio. AFS securities included gross unrealized losses of $38.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

All mortgage-backed securities included in the above tables were issued by U.S. government agencies and corporations. At December 31, 2025, the securities issued by political subdivisions or agencies were highly rated with 98% of the municipal bonds having A+ or higher ratings. Approximately 63% of the municipal bonds are general obligation bonds, and issuers are geographically diverse. The Company held no issues that exceeded 10% of the Company’s shareholders' equity at December 31, 2025.The Company’s holdings of restricted securities totaled $6.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and consisted of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank, stock in the FHLB, and stock in CBB Financial Corporation, the holding company for Community Bankers’ Bank, and an investment in an SBA loan fund. The Bank is required to hold stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB as a condition of membership with each of these correspondent banks. The amount of stock required to be held by the Bank is periodically assessed by each bank, and the Bank may be subject to purchase or surrender stock held in these banks, as determined by their respective calculations. Stock ownership in the bank holding company for Community Bankers’ Bank provides the Bank with several benefits that are not available to non-shareholder correspondent banks. None of these stock issues are traded on the open market and can only be redeemed by the respective issuer. Restricted stock holdings are recorded at cost.

42

The table shown below details the amortized cost and fair value of AFS securities at December 31, 2025 based upon contractual maturities, by major investment categories. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations. The tax-equivalent yield is based upon a federal tax rate of 21%. Refer to the Reconcilement of Non-GAAP Measures table within the Non-GAAP Presentations section earlier in Item 7.

Maturity Distribution and Average Yields

Weighted average yield is calculated based on the relative amortized cost of the securities. Yields on tax-exempt securities have been computed on a tax-equivalent basis using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21%.

As stated, the preceding table reflects the distribution of the contractual maturities of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2025. Management’s investment portfolio strategy is to structure the portfolio so that it is a constant source of liquidity for the balance sheet. In order to achieve greater liquidity in the portfolio, securities that have a monthly flow of principal repayments become a key component. To illustrate the difference between contractual maturity and average life, consider the difference for the fixed rate mortgage-backed securities (MBS) component of this portfolio. At December 31, 2025, the weighted average maturity of the fixed rate MBS sector was 14.7 years, and the projected average life for this group of securities is 5.4 years.

Another indication of the investment portfolio’s liquidity potential is shown by the projected annual principal cash flow from maturities, callable bonds, and monthly principal repayments. For the next three years, the principal cash flows are estimated to be $26.4 million for 2026, $32.6 million for 2027, and $23.3 million for 2028, based upon rates remaining at current levels. This represents approximately 33% of the investment portfolio’s AFS balance at December 31, 2025 that will be available to support the future liquidity needs of the Company. Cash flow projections are subject to change based upon changes to market interest rates.

43

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s objective is to maintain the historically strong credit quality of the loan portfolio by maintaining rigorous underwriting standards. These standards coupled with regular evaluation of the creditworthiness of, and the designation of lending limits for, each borrower has helped the Company achieve this objective. The primary portfolio strategy includes seeking industry and loan size diversification in order to minimize credit exposure and originating loans in markets with which the Company is familiar. The predominant market area for loans includes Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Fauquier County, Prince William County, Winchester, Frederick County, Manassas, and the Richmond metropolitan area, as well as other areas in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 or 75.0% of total assets. Loan balances increased $1.6 million, or 0.1%, from the balance of $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2024. Note that all loan balances are presented net of credit and other fair value discounts, when applicable. The table below shows the composition of the loan portfolio:

At December 31, 2025, the loan-to-deposit ratio stood at 86.4%, compared to 86.8% at December 31, 2024.

Based on underwriting standards, loans may be secured in whole or in part by collateral such as liquid assets, accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and real property. The collateral securing any loan may depend on the type of loan and may vary in value based on market conditions.

The Company’s real estate loan portfolio increased by $1.9 million to a balance of $946.0 million at December 31, 2025 from $944.1 million at December 31, 2024. This category comprises 76.4% of all loans, and these loans are secured by mortgages on real property located principally in the Company's market area. Of this amount, approximately $297.6 million represented loans on 1-4 family residential properties. Commercial real estate loans totaled $613.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Sources of repayment are from the borrower’s operating profits, cash flows and liquidation of pledged collateral. The remaining real estate loans were comprised of construction and land development loans which totaled $35.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

Of the $613.4 million of commercial mortgages held on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, $333.7 million consists of non-owner occupied commercial real estate, $127.8 million of multifamily, and $151.9 million of owner occupied CRE. No CRE loans were over 90 days past due as of December 31, 2025.

The following table details the Company's levels of non-owner occupied commercial real estate as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and along with the average loan size and % of risk ratings for each category:

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio totaled $265.4 million, a $7.7 million increase from the $257.7 million balance at year-end 2024. This category, representing approximately 21.4% of all loans, includes loans made to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses, as well as loans purchased in the government guaranteed market. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the portfolio of government guaranteed loans, included in the commercial loan balance, was $227.5 million and $218.3 million, respectively.

Consumer loans, comprised of student loans purchased, revolving credit, and other fixed payment loans, totaled $26.2 million as of December 31, 2025 or 2.1% of all loans. Consumer loans ended 2025 with balances $8.1 million lower than the prior year-end, primarily due to normal amortization within the student loan portfolio.

The following table presents the maturity/repricing distribution of the Company’s loans at December 31, 2025. The table also presents the portion of loans that have fixed interest rates or variable/floating interest rates that fluctuate over the life of the loans in accordance with changes in an interest rate index such as the Wall Street Journal prime rate or U.S. Treasury bond indices.

Total loans at December 31, 2025 and 2024 included loans purchased in connection with the Merger. These loans were recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition without the carryover of the related allowance for loan loss. The following table presents the outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of purchased loans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Loan Asset Quality

Intrinsic to the lending process is the possibility of loss. While management endeavors to minimize this risk, it recognizes that loan losses will occur and that the amount of these losses will fluctuate depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, which in turn depend on current and future economic conditions, the financial condition of borrowers, the realization of collateral, and the credit management process.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collections efforts, that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, or when the loan is past due for 90 days or more, unless the debt is both well-secured and in the process of collection.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had loans classified as non-accrual with balances of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The non-accrual balance as of December 31, 2025 consists of fourteen loans to twelve borrowers and 100% of such balance is secured by real estate.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest amounted to $7.0 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $754 thousand as of December 31, 2024. The 2025 balance includes seven loans totaling $6.6 million which are 100% government-guaranteed, one loan for $391 thousand fully secured by residential real estate, and three student loans totaling $86 thousand. No CRE loans were 90 days or more past due as of December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The relationship of the ACL to total loans and nonaccrual loans appears below:

See Note 4 – Loans and Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further details regarding the Company’s loan asset quality measurements.

Activity for the ACL is provided in the following table:

As of December 31, 2025, the ACL was $8.3 million, a decrease of $185 thousand from $8.4 million at December 31, 2024, due to individual differences in the balances of various pools as well as changing loss rates. Management’s estimates for the ACL resulted in nominal changes to the Company’s ACL to total loans outstanding ratio of 0.67% at December 31, 2025, compared to 0.68% at December 31, 2024. The government-guaranteed loans do not require an ACL as they are 100% guaranteed.

During 2025, there were $453 thousand in loan balances charged off, with a total of $206 thousand in recoveries of previously charged-off balances, resulting in net charge-offs of negative $247 thousand. During 2024, there were $759

47

thousand in loan balances charged off, with a total of $1.5 million in recoveries of previously charged-off balances, resulting in net charge-offs of $778 thousand. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.02% and -0.07% (net recovery) for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The table below provides an allocation of year-end ACL by loan type; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one loan category does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Allocation of the Allowance for Credit Losses

Deposits

Depository accounts represent the Company’s primary source of funding and are comprised of demand deposits, interest bearing checking accounts, money market deposit accounts and time deposits. These deposits have been provided predominantly by individuals, businesses and charitable organizations in the Charlottesville/Albemarle County, Fauquier County, Manassas, Prince William County, Richmond and Winchester market areas.

Borrowings

Borrowings, consisting primarily of FHLB advances and federal funds purchased, are additional sources of funds for the Company. The level of these borrowings is determined by various factors, including customer demand and the Company's ability to earn a favorable spread on the funds obtained.

The Company has a collateral dependent line of credit with the FHLB. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $20.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB.

Additional borrowing arrangements maintained by the Bank include formal federal funds lines with five correspondent banks. The Company had no federal funds purchased as of December 31, 2025 compared to $236 thousand at December 31, 2024.

Borrowings consist of the following as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Details on available borrowing lines can be found later under Liquidity in the Asset/Liability Management section.

Junior Subordinated Debt

In 2006, a subsidiary of Fauquier, Fauquier Statutory Trust II, privately issued $4.0 million face amount of the trust’s Floating Rate Capital Securities in a pooled capital securities offering. Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of that sale to purchase $4.0 million principal amount of the Fauquier’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2036. As of December 31, 2025, total capital securities were $3.6 million, as adjusted to fair value as of the date of the Merger. The interest rate on the capital security resets every three months at 1.70% above the then current three-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.26% and is paid quarterly.

The Trust II issuance of capital securities and the respective subordinated debentures are callable at any time. The subordinated debentures are an unsecured obligation of the Company and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The capital securities are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company’s primary earnings source is its net interest income; therefore, the Company devotes significant time and resources to assist in the management of interest rate risk and asset quality. The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates and by the level and composition of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Company’s objectives in its asset/liability management are to utilize its capital effectively, to provide adequate liquidity and to enhance net interest income, without taking undue risks or subjecting the Company unduly to interest rate fluctuations. The Company takes a coordinated approach to the management of its liquidity, capital and interest rate risk. This risk management process is governed by policies and limits established by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee, which are reviewed and approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. This committee, which is comprised of directors and members of management, meets to review, among other things, economic conditions, interest rates, yield curves, cash flow projections, expected customer actions, liquidity levels, capital ratios and repricing characteristics of assets, liabilities and financial instruments.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market indices such as interest rates. The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Company monitors the interest rate sensitivity of its balance sheet positions by examining its near-term sensitivity and its longer-term gap position. In its management of interest rate risk, the Company utilizes several financial and statistical tools including traditional gap analysis and sophisticated income simulation models.

A traditional gap analysis is prepared based on the maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for selected time bands. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time band is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive) where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite result on the net interest margin. The Company’s balance sheet structure is primarily short-term in nature with a substantial portion of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities repricing or maturing within one year, as shown in the Gap Interest Sensitivity Analysis table below.
