Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Eagle Financial Services, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Collectively Evaluated Loans
As further described in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowance for credit losses on loans (ACLL) is a valuation allowance that represents management’s best estimate of expected credit losses on loans measured at amortized cost considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing collectability over the loans’ contractual terms. Loans which share common risk characteristics are pooled and collectively evaluated by the Company using historical data, as well as assessments of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. The Company’s ACLL related to collectively evaluated loans represented $14.8 million of the total recorded ACLL of $15.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The collectively evaluated ACLL consists of quantitative and qualitative components.
The quantitative component consists of loss estimates derived from the Company’s application of its cohort methodology, which identifies and tracks respective losses generated by specific cohorts (or pools) of loans over their remaining lives. These estimates consider large amounts of data over an extended period of time. In addition to the quantitative component, the collectively evaluated ACL also includes a qualitative component which aggregates management’s assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the quantitative loss estimation process. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Management exercised significant judgment when estimating the ACL on collectively evaluated loans. We identified the estimation of the collectively evaluated ACL as a critical audit matter as auditing the collectively evaluated ACL involved significant audit effort and judgment in evaluating management’s assessment of the inherently subjective estimates.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s processes for determining its ACL on collectively evaluated loans, including the underlying methodology and significant inputs to the calculation.
Substantively testing management’s process for measuring the collectively evaluated ACL, including:
Evaluating the conceptual soundness of the methodology for determining the collectively evaluated ACL.
Testing the completeness and accuracy of data used in developing the quantitative loss calculations.
Evaluating the pools of collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans for completeness.
Evaluating management’s determination of qualitative adjustments, including the data on which the qualitative adjustments were based as well as the relative magnitude of the adjustments.
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the ACL for collectively evaluated loans, including the calculations underlying the quantitative component as well as application of qualitative factors to the collectively evaluated loan balances.

NOTE 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “Corporation”) and Bank of Clarke (the “Bank”) make commercial, financial, agricultural, residential and consumer loans to customers in Virginia, Maryland and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The loan portfolio is well diversified and generally is collateralized by assets of the customers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. In addition, the Bank of Clarke Wealth Management Division, a division of the Bank, provides both a full-service Trust Department and a separate brokerage area.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to accepted practices within the banking industry.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company owns 100% of the Bank. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated.
Wealth Management Assets
The Bank of Clarke Wealth Management Division provides both a full-service Trust Department and a separate brokerage area. The Trust Department features a full range of fiduciary expertise, including service as Trustee of personal trusts, service as guardian or conservator by court appointment, fiduciary investment management, estate settlement, and agency for trustees. The brokerage area offers advisory services and a broad selection of investment products, including Individual Retirement Accounts, mutual funds, tax-deferred annuities, 529 college savings plans, life insurance, long term care insurance, brokerage certificates of deposit, among other brokerage services. Securities and other property held by the Bank of Clarke Wealth Management Division in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Bank and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
Securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.
Purchase premiums are recognized in interest income using the effective interest rate method over the period from purchase to maturity or, for callable securities, the earliest call date, and purchase discounts are recognized in the same manner from purchase to maturity.
The Bank is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of certain correspondent banks. No readily available market exists for this stock and it has no quoted market value. The investment in these securities is recorded at cost and they are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as restricted investments.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Securities
For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether the Company intends to sell, or if it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through a provision for credit losses charge to earnings. For debt securities available for sale that do not meet either of these criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers both quantitative and qualitative factors,
A substantial portion of the available for sale debt securities held by the Company are obligations issued by U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, including mortgage-backed securities. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. For these securities, management takes into consideration the long history of no credit losses and other factors to assess the risk of nonpayment even if the U.S. government were to default. As such, the Company utilized a zero credit loss estimate for these securities.
For available for sale debt securities that are not guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, management utilizes a third-party credit modeling tool based on observable market data, which assists management in identifying any potential credit risk associated with these available for sale debt securities. Qualitative factors are also considered, including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, changes to the credit rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses is recorded that reflects the amount of the impairment related to credit losses, limited by the amount by which the security's amortized cost basis exceeds its fair value.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in net income in the period of change and are included in provision for credit losses. Changes in the fair value of debt securities available for sale not resulting from credit losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell in the secondary market are classified as loans held for sale and carried at the lower of cost or fair value as determined by commitments from investors. Mortgage loans that are sold in the secondary market are sold servicing released. The Company may also classify other loans as loans held for sale as part of its ongoing portfolio management strategies. Such other loans are generally not originated with the intent to sell. Once a decision is made to sell loans not previously classified as held for sale, such loans are transferred into the held-for-sale classification and carried at the lower of cost or fair value. In 2024, the Company sold non-mortgage loans totaling approximately $14.3 million as part of its portfolio management strategies that were previously classified as held for investment. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recorded based on the differential between the sales proceeds and carrying value of the underlying loans.
Loan Servicing Rights
Loan servicing rights are separate from the underlying loan and may be retained or sold by the Company when the related loan is sold. In connection with sale of certain loans, the Company has recognized assets for retained loan servicing rights. Capitalized loan servicing rights represent the economic benefits associated with contracts to service loans under which the benefits of servicing are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. Assets for retained loan servicing rights are initially recognized as a component of the gain recognized on the sale of the underlying loan(s) and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Loan servicing rights are subsequently accounted for using the amortization method. The amortization method requires the servicing assets to be amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Additionally, the recorded balances are evaluated for impairment each reporting period and are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Assets for loan servicing rights are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Servicing fee income, net of amortization and impairment, if any, is reported in other service charges and fees in the consolidated statements of income.
Loans Held for Investment
The Company makes mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout the Counties of Clarke, Frederick, Loudoun and Fairfax, Virginiaas well as the Towns of Leesburg and Purcellville and the Cities of Winchester and Frederick, Maryland. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in these areas.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the charge-offs, unearned discounts, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and the allowance for credit losses. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis. Accrued interest totaled $4.8 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and is included in the other assets line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan fees collected and certain costs incurred related to loan originations are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the life of the related loans. Deferred fees and costs are recorded as an adjustment to interest income using a method that approximates a constant yield.
A loan’s past due status is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Any accrued interest receivable on loans placed on nonaccrual status is reversed by an adjustment to interest income. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and there is reasonable assurance the borrower will continue to make payments as agreed. These policies are applied consistently across our loan portfolio.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. All payments, including any interest collected, on these loans are accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method and applied to principal, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when they are funded.

The Company accounts for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.”
Modifications made to loans are considered for disclosure under the guidance in ASU 2022-02 if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, if the modification is in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension (or a combination thereof). Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. Generally, the modifications granted are extensions of terms, deferrals of payments for an extended period or interest rate reductions. If a loan was accruing prior to being modified and if the Company concludes that the borrower is able to make such payments, and there are no other factors or circumstances that would cause it to conclude otherwise, the loan will remain on accrual status. If a loan was on non-accrual status at the time of the modification, the loan will remain on non-accrual status following the modification and may be returned to accrual status based on the policy for returning loans to accrual status as noted above.
Risks by Loan Portfolio Segment
One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending
Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. As part of the application process, information is gathered concerning income, employment and credit history of the applicant. The valuation of residential collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Bank’s Directors Loan Committee.
Commercial Real Estate Lending
Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk as compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the repayment of loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy, in general.
Construction and Land Development Lending
There are two characteristics of construction lending which impact its overall risk as compared to residential mortgage lending. First, there is more concentration risk due to the extension of a large loan balance through several lines of credit to a single developer or contractor. Second, there is more collateral risk due to the fact that loan funds are provided to the borrower based upon the estimated value of the collateral after completion. This could cause an inaccurate estimate of the amount needed to complete construction or an excessive loan-to-value ratio. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, the Bank generally limits loan amounts to 80% of the estimated appraised value of the finished home or other real estate property.
Commercial and Industrial Lending
Commercial business loans generally have more risk than residential mortgage loans, but have higher yields. To manage these risks, the Bank generally obtains appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitors the financial condition of the borrower. Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and boats. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate.
Consumer Lending
Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. A portion of the Company’s consumer loans are also secured by boats. In such cases, any repossessed collateral on a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.
Marine Lending
The Bank’s marine loan portfolio is comprised of retail loans originated through August 2023. The Company ceased accepting new marine lending business and expects to hold the retained outstanding loans until they are ultimately repaid.
The Company’s relationships were limited to well established dealers of global premium brand manufacturers, with the top three manufacturer customers have been in business between 30 and 100 years. Retail loans were generally limited to premium manufactures with established relationships with the Company, which have a vested interest in the secondary market pricing of their respective brand due to the limited inventory available for resale. Consequently, while not contractually committed, manufacturers will often support secondary resale values which can have the effect of reducing losses from non-performing retail marine loans. Retail borrowers generally have very high credit scores, substantial down payments, substantial net worth, personal liquidity, and excess cash flow.
The allowance for credit losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is also increased by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off and is reduced by charge-offs on loans. Loan charge-offs are recognized as 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. Full or partial charge-offs on collateral dependent individually analyzed loans are generally recognized when the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to support the carrying value of the loan.
The allowance 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. No allowance for credit losses is recorded on accrued interest receivable and amount written-off are reversed by an adjustment to interest income. Management's judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of historical loan losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to the collectability of loans. Loans that share common risk characteristics are evaluated collectively using a loss-rate, or cohort methodology to estimate its current expected credit losses on loans. The cohort method identifies and captures the balances of pooled loans with similar risk characteristics, as a point in time to form a cohort, then tracks the respective losses generated by that cohort of loans over their remaining lives. The method encompasses loan balances for as long as the loans are outstanding.
Management's estimate of the allowance for credit losses on loans that are collectively evaluated also includes a qualitative assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the loss estimation process. Factors considered by management include economic conditions including reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions; the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; the volume and severity of delinquencies and adversely classified loan balances; ending policy and procedures; credit administration and lending staff; loan review; concentrations of credit and the value of underlying collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Loans that do not share common risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually and are not included in the collective analysis. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are individually evaluated may be estimated based on their expected cash flows, or, in the case of loans for which repayment is expected substantially through the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, may be measured based on the fair value of the collateral or the fair value of collateral less estimated costs to sell.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
The Company records a reserve, reported in other liabilities, for expected credit losses on commitments to extend credit that are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is measured based on the principles utilized in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and an estimate of the amount of unfunded commitments expected to be advanced. Changes in the reserve for unfunded commitments are recorded through the provision for credit losses. The reserve totaled $505 thousand and $479 thousand at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded a provision of $26 thousand and $8 thousand for thetwelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company also recorded an increase to the reserve of $406 thousand for the adoption of ASC 326.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from 10 to 39 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation balances are cleared the differential between the proceeds, if any, and the carrying value is recorded as a gain or loss in the Company's results of operations.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leasing arrangements in accordance with ASC 842 "Leases". Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of the Company's accounting for its leasing arrangements.
Other Real Estate Owned
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the fair value of the property, less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. The portion of interest costs relating to development of real estate is capitalized. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in the gain on other real estate owned line item in the consolidated statements of income.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Company has purchased life insurance on certain key individuals. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that may be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or amounts due that are probable at settlement. These amounts are recorded in noninterest income and are generally not subject to income taxes.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfersof financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of the derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and resulting designation.
The Company enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Company simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and offsetting terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Company receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps are derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges and are reported in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of loan swaps are recorded in other noninterest income and sum to zero because of the offsetting terms of swaps with borrowers and swaps with dealer counterparties.
The Company has one pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge under the portfolio layer method. Under this method, the hedged item is designated as a hedged layer of a closed portfolio pool of financial loans that is anticipated to remain outstanding for the designed hedged period. Adjustments are made to record the fair value of the swap as either an other asset or other liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in net loans. The carrying value of the fair value swap will also be adjusted through loan interest income, based on changes in the fair value attributable to changes in the hedged risk. The ineffective portion is recognized in current earnings as a component of the interest income section of the related hedged item.
Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan under which eligible employees may defer a portion of their compensation on a pretax basis. The Company also provides a match to participants in this plan, as described more fully in Note 11.
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
On May 16, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") which allows key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in the Company. The 2023 Plan permits the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options and the award of common stock, restricted stock, and stock units. The 2023 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of common stock. The 2023 Plan replaced the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan and is discussed more fully in Note 10.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.
When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, the Company believes it is “more likely than not” that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than fifty percent (50%) likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the applicable taxing authority upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income. The Company has no uncertain tax positions.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2023 financial statements to conform to reporting for 2024. The results of the reclassifications are not considered material and had no effect on prior years' net income or shareholders' equity.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Nonvested restricted shares are included in the weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic earnings per share because of dividend participation and voting rights. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The number of potential common shares is determined using the treasury method.
The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.
| Twelve Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, | ||

| Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share | 3,553,919 | 3,523,547 |
There wereno potentially dilutive securities outstanding in 2024 or 2023.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, net of income taxes, are reported within the balance sheet as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. These changes, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income and are reported in the statement of comprehensive income. In addition to net income, the Company’s comprehensive income includes changes in the benefit obligations and plan assets for postretirement benefit plans and unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.
Business Segments
The Company operates in three reportable business segments through the Bank: community banking, marine lending and wealth management. The Company’s business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, as well as the nature of the related business activities, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is regularly reviewed for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance of the Company’s businesses. The results for these business segments are based on management’s accounting process, which assigns income statement items and assets to each operating segment. Given the Company's reportable segments are contained within the Bank, management must make certain allocations of expenses, which may not be representative of the costs expected to be incurred if the specific business segments operated as stand-alone entities. For additional information, refer to Note 27. “Business Segments.”
Stock Repurchase Program
On September 18, 2024, the Company held a meeting at which its stock repurchase program was re-authorized. The Board of Directors of the Company, by resolution, authorized and approved the Company’s purchase of up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a period ending June 30, 2025 (the “Purchase Period”). During 2024, the Company purchased 7,868 shares of its Common Stock under its stock repurchase program at an average price of $30.08. During 2023, the Company purchased 8,531 shares of its Common Stock under its stock repurchase program at an average price of $35.34. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased during the Purchase Period as of December 31, 2024 is 148,122.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Authoritative Guidance
Recently Adopted
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the
Proportional Amortization Method," ("ASC 323"). These amendments allow reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. The Company adopted ASU 2023-02 on January 1, 2024, which resulted in an adjustment of $477 thousand, reducing the investment balance and shareholders' equity. The Company invests in qualified affordable housing projects. The general purpose of these investments is to encourage and assist participants in investing in low-income residential rental properties located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, develop and implement strategies to maintain projects as low-income housing, provide tax credits and other tax benefits to investors, and to preserve and protect project assets.
On December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” issued by the FASB in November 2023. The amendments in this ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, inclusion of all annual disclosures in interim periods and disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker. See Note 27, "Business Segments" for further information.
Pending Adoption
In November 2024, the FASB issued 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.

Gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities includedone hundred one (101)andone hundred three (103) debt securities at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its securities portfolio at December 31, 2024, andno impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were caused primarily by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.
Securities having a carrying value of $9.8 million and $101.9 million at December 31, 2024 were pledged as security for trust accounts and for borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, respectively.

The Company did not identify any significant changes in the extent to which collateral secures its collateral dependent loans, whether in the form of general deterioration or from other factors during the period ended December 31, 2024.
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, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The following table presents risk ratings by loan portfolio segment and origination year. Descriptions of these ratings are as follows:
| Pass | Pass loans exhibit acceptable history of profits, cash flow ability and liquidity. Sufficient cash flow exists to service the loan. All obligations have been paid by the borrower in an as agreed manner. |
|---|---|
| Special Mention | Special mention loans exhibit negative trends and potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may negatively affect the borrower’s ability to repay its obligations. The risk of default is not imminent and the borrower still demonstrates sufficient financial strength to service debt. |
| Classified | Classified loans include loans rated Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. |
| •Substandard loans exhibit well defined weaknesses resulting in a higher probability of default. The borrowers exhibit adverse financial trends and a diminishing ability or willingness to service debt. | |
| •Doubtful loans exhibit all of the characteristics inherent in substandard loans; however given the severity of weaknesses, the collection of 100% of the principal is unlikely under current conditions. | |
| •Loss loans are considered uncollectible over a reasonable period of time and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. |

NOTE 5. Restructurings for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
There were no loans modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The following table presents the amortized cost of loans that were modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 by loan portfolio segment:

| Total | $355 | $355 | |
None of the loans that were modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 had defaulted and the loans remained current with contractual payments as of December 31, 2024. Management defines default as over 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms, the foreclosure and/or repossession of the collateral, or the charge-off of the loan. The financial effects of the term extensions during the period added a weighted average of 1.0 years to the life of loans which reduced the payment amounts for the borrowers.

NOTE 8. Borrowings
The Company has access to borrowings in the form of federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") advances and subordinated notes.
The following table presents selected information on short-term borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which consisted of FHLB advances.
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's short-term FHLB advances totaled $25.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively.
The Company's long-term borrowings with the FHLB were $95.0 million and $145.0 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Federal fund lines of credit are extended to the Bank by nonaffiliated banks with which a correspondent banking relationship exists. The line of credit amount is determined by the creditworthiness of the Bank and, in particular, its regulatory capital ratios, which are discussed in Note 15. Federal funds purchased generally mature each business day. At December 31, 2024 these available lines totaled $78.0 million.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had collateral valued at $98.7 million pledged at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") discount window, of which 75%, or $74.0 million is available for short-term liquidity needs. Discount window credit is available for as long as 90 days, prepayable and renewable on a daily basis, priced relative to the Federal Open Market Committee's target range for the federal funds rate.
The Company had $95.9 million in irrevocable letters of credit at December 31, 2024 with the FHLB to secure public deposits.
As of December 31, 2024, Company had remaining credit availability in the amount of $254.3 million with the FHLB. This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. Advances on the line are secured by all of the Company’s eligible first lien residential real estate loans on one-to-four-unit, single-family dwellings; multi-family dwellings; home equity lines of credit; and commercial real estate loans. The amount of the available credit is limited to a percentage of the estimated market value of the loans as determined periodically by the FHLB. The amount of the available credit is also limited to 20% of total Bank assets.
On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2032 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds of the Notes were used for general corporate purposes, organic growth and to support the Bank's regulatory capital ratios.
The Notes were structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes at the holding company and bear an initial interest rate of 4.50% until April 1, 2027, with interest during this period payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including April 1, 2027, but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual floating rate equal to three-month SOFR, plus 2.35% with interest during the period payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes are redeemable by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, on or after April 1, 2027. Initial debt issuance costs were $673 thousand. The debt balance of $30.0 million is presented net of unamortized issuance costs of $488 thousand and $556 thousand at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 9. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns with the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Virginia and West Virginia. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations for years prior to 2021.

| Loan servicing rights | 68 | 32 |
| $2,765 | $1,806 | |
| Net deferred tax asset | $8,982 | $9,413 |
The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that they will be ultimately realized.
Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following components:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Current tax expense | $2,958 | $2,785 |
| Deferred tax accrual (benefit) | 600 | (1,509) |
| $3,558 | $1,276 | |
The following table reconciles income tax expense to the statutory federal corporate income tax amount, which was calculated by applying the federal corporate income tax rate to pre-tax income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Statutory federal corporate tax amount | $3,969 | $2,232 |
| Tax-exempt interest (income) | (78) | (76) |

| Net tax credits | (53) | (756) |
| Other, net | 124 | 10 |
| $3,558 | $1,276 | |
The effective tax rates were 18.82% and 12.00% for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were impacted by the recognition of tax-exempt life insurance income and qualified rehabilitation credits. For the year ended December 31, 2023, tax credits on qualified affordable housing project investments also had an impact on the effective tax rate. Qualified affordable housing project investments are further discussed in Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 10. Stock-Based Compensation
On May 16, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2023 Plan") which allows key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in the Company. The 2023 Plan permits the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options and the award of common stock, restricted stock, and stock units. The plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of common stock. The 2023 Plan replaced the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. To date, equity awards have only been issued in the form of restricted stock.
The Company periodically grants restricted stock to its directors, executive officers and certain non-executive officers. Restricted stock provides grantees with rights to shares of common stock upon completion of a service period or achievement of Company performance measures. During the restriction period, all shares are considered outstanding and dividends are paid to the grantee. Outside directors are periodically granted restricted shares which vest over a period ofone year. Executive officers have been granted restricted shares which generally vest over athree year service period and restricted shares which vest based on meeting performance measures. Beginning in 2024, performance-based restricted shares are granted with a three year cliff vesting period, while previously granted performance-based restricted shares vested over atwo year period. Restricted shares are also granted to certain non-executive officers and generally vest over athree year service period.
The following table presents the activity for restricted stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Twelve Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | ||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
| Shares | WeightedAverageGrant DateFair Value | Shares | WeightedAverageGrant DateFair Value | |
| Nonvested, beginning of period | 56,914 | $35.06 | 38,780 | $33.47 |
| Granted | 41,940 | 30.00 | 37,941 | 35.79 |
| Vested | (29,426) | 34.40 | (17,402) | 33.26 |
| Forfeited | (5,385) | 35.38 | (2,405) | 35.40 |
| Nonvested, end of period | 64,043 | $32.02 | 56,914 | $35.06 |
The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the grant date. Compensation expense was $912 thousand and $1.2 million during December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock which vested was $1.0 million and $579 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total vest date fair value of restricted stock which vested was $883 thousand and $609 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock was $583 thousand at December 31, 2024. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period oftwo years. The Company's policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
NOTE 11. Employee Benefits
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan under which eligible employees may defer a portion of salary on a pretax basis, subject to certain IRS limits. The Company matches 50 percent of employee contributions, on a maximum ofsix percent of salary deferred. The 401(k) plan includes a non-elective safe-harbor employer contribution and an age-weighted employer contribution. Qualifying employees receive non-elective safe-harbor contributions equal tothree percent of their salary. Company match and safe-harbor contributions are contributed each pay period. Qualifying employees will receive an additional annual contribution based on their age and years of service. The percentage of salary for the age-weighted contribution increases on both factors, age and years of service, with a minimum ofone percent of salary and a maximum often percent of salary. Contributions under the plan amounted to $2.2 million in 2024 and 2023.
The Company has established an Executive Supplemental Income Plan for certain key employees. Benefits are to be paid in monthly installments following retirement or death. The agreement provides that if employment is terminated for reasons other than death or disability prior to age 65, the amount of benefits could be reduced or forfeited. The executive supplemental income benefit liability was $4 thousand at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The executive supplemental income benefit expense, based on the present value of the retirement benefits, was $27 thousand in 2024 and $29 thousand in 2023. The plan is unfunded; however, life insurance has been acquired on the lives of these employees in amounts sufficient to discharge the plan’s obligations.
NOTE 12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. These commitments and contingent liabilities include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.
During the normal course of business, various legal claims arise from time to time which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Bank was required to maintain a total compensating balance on deposit with two correspondent banks in the amount of $250 thousand at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
See Note 18 with respect to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.
NOTE 13. Leases
The Company leases certain office properties and equipment used in its operations in the normal course of business. Leases greater than 12 months in duration are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date and are classified as either operating or finance leases based on the Company's assessment of the underlying agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed a sales-leaseback transaction for its operating center and branch property in Winchester, Virginia. This long-term lease agreement resulted in the initial recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $5.5 million.
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company has five long-term lease agreements for office properties which are all classified as operating leases. These leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liability to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. These lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations. Right-of-use assets and leases liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following tables present information about the Company’s leases:

NOTE 14. Transactions with Directors and Officers
The Bank grants loans to and accepts deposits from its directors, principal officers and related parties of such persons during the ordinary course of business. The aggregate balance of loans to directors, principal officers and their related parties was $5.7 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These balances reflect total principal additions of $1.4 million and total principal payments of $726 thousand, during 2024. The aggregate balance of deposits from directors, principal officers and their related parties was $7.4 million and $7.0 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 15. Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The Bank utilizes the risk-based capital framework for its presentation of capital amounts and ratios.
At December 31, 2024, and 2023, management believes the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. Additionally, at December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The following table presents the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Actual | Minimum CapitalRequirement | Minimum To BeWell CapitalizedUnder PromptCorrective ActionProvisions | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Ratio | Amount | Ratio | Amount | Ratio | |

| Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | $155,453 | 10.27% | $68,121 | 4.50% | $98,397 | 6.50% |
| Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | 168,925 | 11.16% | 121,104 | 8.00% | 151,380 | 10.00% |
| Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets | 155,453 | 10.27% | 90,828 | 6.00% | 121,104 | 8.00% |
| Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets | 155,453 | 8.48% | 73,367 | 4.00% | 91,709 | 5.00% |
In addition to the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy purposes under the risk-based capital framework, financial institutions also required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer of greater than 2.5% in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and other payments. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank's capital levels exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements plus the capital conservation buffer.
NOTE 16. Restrictions On Dividends, Loans and Advances
Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or thethree preceding years’ undistributed net income of the Bank. Loans or advances are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus on a secured basis. Capital stock and surplus is defined as tier 1 and tier 2 capital under the risk-based capital guidelines. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
At December 31, 2024, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends to the Company was $34.4 million. Accordingly, $112.5 million of the Company’s equity in the net assets of the Bank was restricted at December 31, 2024. Funds available for loans or advances by the Bank to the Company amounted to $18.1 million at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 17. Dividend Investment Plan
The Company has a Dividend Investment Plan, which allows participants’ dividends to purchase additional shares of common stock at its fair market value on each dividend record date. Shares of common stock purchased through the Plan can be purchased at a price equal to the market price of the shares. No changes have been made to the operation of the dividend reinvestment features of the Plan during 2024 and 2023.
NOTE 18. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Company, through its subsidiary bank, is a 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, unfunded commitments under lines of credit, and commercial 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 consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit losses is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. As of January 1, 2023, unfunded loan commitments that are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company are measured for expected credit losses under ASU 2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, resulted in an adjustment to the Company's reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $406 thousand. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the reserve balance totaled $505 thousand and $479 thousand, respectively.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | ||
| Commitments to extend credit | $32,793 | $37,724 |
| Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | 196,903 | 227,717 |
| Commercial and standby letters of credit | 2,602 | 3,964 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as the terms offered are acceptable and certain other conditions are met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since these commitments may expire or terminate, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, with regards to these commitments, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are contracts for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include, but are not limited to, home equity lines of credit, overdraft protection lines of credit, credit cards, and unsecured and secured commercial lines of credit. The terms and conditions of these commitments vary depending on the line of credit’s purpose, collateral, and maturity. The amount disclosed above represents total unused lines of credit for which a contract with the Bank has been established.
Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in granting loans to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting these commitments if it is deemed necessary. At December 31, 2024, $2.5 million of the outstanding letters of credit were collateralized.
The Bank has cash accounts in other commercial banks. The amount on deposit in these banks at December 31, 2024 exceeded the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by $7.9 million.
NOTE 19. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers that is within the scope of ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" is reported within noninterest income. A limited amount of other in-scope items such as gains and losses on other real estate owned are recorded in noninterest expense. The recognition of interest income and certain sources of noninterest income (e.g. gains on securities transactions, bank owned life insurance income, etc.) are governed by other areas of U.S. GAAP. Significant revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 and included in noninterest income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Income from Fiduciary Activities
Trust asset management fee income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts are principally comprised of overdrawn account fees, account maintenance charges and other activity based fees. The Company’s performance obligations on revenue generated from deposit accounts are generally satisfied immediately, when the transaction occurs, or by month-end. Typically, the duration of a contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts which generate these sources of noninterest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.
Other Service Charges and Fees
The majority of the Company’s noninterest income is derived from short term contracts associated with services provided for other ancillary services such as ATM fees, brokerage commissions and loan servicing fees. The Company’s performance obligations on revenue generated from these ancillary services are generally satisfied immediately, when the transaction occurs, or by month-end. Typically, the duration of a contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts which generate these sources of noninterest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.
The Company earns interchange fees from credit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized no less than monthly.
Noninterest income disaggregated by major source, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|

(3)
Includes income within the scope of Topic 606 of $406 thousand and $393 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The remaining balance is outside the scope of Topic 606.
Contract Balances
The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. 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 December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

| Dividends per common share | 0.30 | 0.30 | 0.30 | 0.30 |
NOTE 21. Fair Value Measurements
GAAP requires the Company to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
“Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The following section provides a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
Securities Available for Sale: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Company has contracted with a third-party vendor to provide valuations for derivatives using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such valuations as Level 2. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its derivative assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its derivative liabilities.
The following table presents balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

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 and nonfinancial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Individually Evaluated Collateral-Dependent Loans: The estimated fair value of individually evaluated collateral-dependent loans is based on the value of the underlying collateral or the value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, as appropriate. Collateral is generally real estate; however, collateral may include vehicles, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other business assets. The value of real estate collateral is determined using a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser. The value of other assets may also be based on an appraisal, market quotations, aging schedules or other sources. Collateral-dependent individually evaluated loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. At December 31, 2024, there were two collateral-dependent relationships totaling $908 thousand, which were individually evaluated and are being carried at fair value of $659 thousand. These two relationships represent four commercial business loans collateralized by equipment. There were no individually evaluated collateral dependent loans recorded at fair value at December 31, 2023.
Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the fair value of the property, less estimated selling costs, establishing a new costs basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses on loans. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. The portion of interest costs relating to development of real estate is capitalized. Valuations are periodically obtained by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurement of real estate held in other real estate owned is assessed in the same manner as collateral-dependent loans described above. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of GAAP. The Company heldno other real estate owned at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Repossessed Assets: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the fair value of the asset, less estimated selling costs, establishing a new costs basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Costs of significant improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding assets are expensed. Valuations are periodically obtained by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of an asset to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurement of repossessed assets is assessed in the same manner as collateral dependent loans described above. We believe that the fair value follows the provisions of GAAP. The Company held $514 thousand and $304 thousand at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Repossessed assets are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans consisted of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market at December 31, 2024. Fair value is based on prices the secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). The Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) during its normal operations. As a result, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities in order to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay their principal balance in a rising rate environment and more likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rate interest payments are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting the terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

NOTE 26. Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage risks to the Company associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Derivative contracts that are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationships include customer accommodation loan swaps.
On August 15, 2024, the Company executed a 2-year,3.862% pay-fixed portfolio layer method fair value swap, designated as a hedging instrument, with a total notional amount of $35.0 million. The Company receives a variable rate equal to daily secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"). This swap will terminate on August 15, 2026. The Company designated the fair value swap under the portfolio layer method ("PLM"). Under this method, the hedged item is designated as a hedged layer of a closed portfolio of financial loans that is anticipated to remain outstanding for the designated hedged period. Adjustments will be made to record the swap at fair value as either an other asset or other liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in net loans. The carrying value of the fair value swap on the Consolidated Balance Sheets will also be adjusted through loan interest income, based on changes in the fair value attributable to changes in the hedged risk.
The following table represents the carrying value of the portfolio layer method hedged asset and the cumulative fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying value of the hedged asset at December 31, 2024.
| Carrying Amount of Hedged Asset | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Adjustment | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Loans receivable (1) | $34,916 | $(84) |
(1) These amounts include the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of fixed rate loans used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolio anticipated to be outstanding for the hedged period. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolio used in this hedging relationship was $506.4 million and the cumulative basis adjustment associated with this hedging relationship was $(84) thousand. At December 31, 2024, the amount of the designated hedged item was $35.0 million.
The following table summarizes the effect of the fair value hedging relationship recognized in the consolidated statements of income for thetwelve months ended December 31, 2024.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and offsetting terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Company receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps are derivative financial instruments and are reported at fair value in “other assets” and “other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of loan swaps are recorded in other noninterest income and sum to zero because of the offsetting terms of the swaps with borrowers and the swaps with dealer counterparties.
The following tables summarize key elements of the Company's derivative instruments at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 27. Business Segments
The Company has three reportable operating segments: community banking, marine lending and wealth management.
Thecommunity banking segment offers a wide range of retail and commercial banking services in the form of loan and deposit products. Revenues consist primarily of net interest income related to investments in non-marine loans and securities and outstanding deposits and borrowings, fees earned on deposit accounts and debit card interchange activity. For the year ended December 31, 2024, non-interest community banking revenue increased, in part, due to the sale of the Company's operating center and branch building in a sales-leaseback transaction, resulting in a realized gain of $3.9 million.
Revenue from marine lending operations consist primarily of net interest income related to commercial and consumer marine vessel retail loans originated through August 2023, at which time the Company ceased accepting new marine lending business. The balance of the marine loan portfolio, which constitutes a significant portion of the Company's assets, revenues, and earnings, totaled $210.1 million at December 31, 2024. This balance will continue to decline as the loans are repaid.
The wealth management segment offers both a trust department and investment services. Trust department services include a full range of personal and retirement plan services, and investment services products include, among other products, annuities, IRA's, life insurance, fixed income investing, and full service or discount brokerage services. Non-deposit investment products are offered through a third-party service provider.
Financial information of the parent company is included in the "All Other" category. The parent company's revenue and expenses are comprised primarily of interest expense associated with subordinated debt.
The Company's segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the business, including resource allocations and performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the operating income of each operating segment. The CODM uses segment operating income in the annual budget process. The operating income of each operating segment includes the revenues of the segment less expenses that are directly related to those revenues. Operating overhead, shared costs and share-based compensation costs are included in Community Banking.

NOTE 28. Subsequent Events
On February 10, 2025, the Company completed a public stock offering and issued 1,562,500 shares of its common stock, $2.50 par value per share. On February 13, 2025, an additional 234,375 shares were issued upon exercise of the underwriters overallotment option. The public offering price was $32.00. The proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions but before deducting operating expenses payable by the Company, were $53.8 million. The offering of common stock was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269804) that was declared effective by the SEC on February 28, 2023. A final prospectus supplement dated February 6, 2025 and accompanying prospectus dated February 28, 2023, which form part of the registration statement have been filed with the SEC.
In conjunction with its add-on capital offering completed in February of 2025, the Company executed on its strategy to restructure its investment portfolio. In March of 2025, approximately $100 million available for sale securities, with a weighted average yield of 1.72%, have been sold and resulting sales proceeds have been used to purchase approximately $76 million in available for sale securities with a weighted average yield of 4.70%. The Company anticipates that a pre-tax loss of approximately $12.4 million resulting from the sales of the investment securities will be recognized in the first quarter of 2025.
The restructuring is expected to result in improved core net income, net interest income and margin and return on average assets. Additionally, it will shorten the duration of the securities portfolio and strengthen liquidity management.
