Common Stock
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MNSB.” At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 228 shareholders of record. This total does not reflect shares held in nominee or “street name” accounts through various firms.
Dividends
Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for dividends. As the Company is a financial holding company and does not engage directly in business activities of a material nature, its ability to pay dividends on its common stock will depend, in large part, upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made by the Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including general and economic conditions, industry standards, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, our ability to service debt obligations senior to our common stock, banking regulations, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, and limitations on the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders or by the Bank, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid four cash dividends.
Holders of the common stock are subject to priority dividend rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding. There were 28,750 shares of preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2024.
A discussion of applicable regulatory restrictions on dividends by the Company and the Bank is provided in Item 1 (“Business”) under “Dividends, Capital Distributions, and Other Payments.”

In 2019, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Bank’s shareholders approved the MainStreet Bank 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), to provide officers, other selected employees and directors with additional incentives to promote growth and performance. The terms and conditions of the 2019 Plan were subsequently converted into and deemed to be the terms and conditions of a substantially identical Company incentive compensation plan. To date, a total of 605,553 shares of restricted common stock have been awarded under the 2019 Plan and 26,015 shares have been forfeited, for a net of 579,538 shares of restricted common stock issued and outstanding under the 2019 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, a total of 485,872 shares of restricted common stock had been awarded under the 2019 Plan and 24,269 shares had been forfeited, for a net of 461,603 shares of restricted common stock issued and outstanding under the 2019 Plan. During 2024, (108,518) shares of restricted common stock vested from shares issued under both the 2019 Plan and the Bank's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan"). See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2019, the Company registered with the SEC, on Form S-8, the shares of common stock that would then be issuable under the 2019 Plan. As a result of the stockholders’ approval of the 2019 Plan, no additional awards were made under the 2016 Plan. All awards that were then outstanding under the 2016 Plan remained outstanding in accordance with their terms. At the Annual Meeting of shareholders held on May 15, 2024, the Company's common shareholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 650,000 to 1,150,000 shares.
Repurchases of Common Stock
On May 18, 2022, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a plan to repurchase up to $7.5 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The new stock repurchase program replaces the Company’s previous program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 166,000 shares under this plan.
The Company did not repurchase common stock during the fourth quarter of 2024.

the concentration of our business in the Northern Virginia as well as the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area and the effect of changes in the economic, political and environmental conditions on this market;
•
adequacy of our allowance for credit losses;
•
deterioration of our asset quality;
•
cyber threats, attacks or events;
•
reliance on third parties for key services;
•
future performance of our loan portfolio with respect to recently originated loans;

additional risks related to new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services;
•
results of examination of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may require us to increase our allowance for credit losses or to write-down assets or take other supervisory action;
•
the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to remediate any future material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting;
•
liquidity, interest rate and operational risks associated with our business;
•
a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption or the unavailability of key employees;
•
volatility in the financial institution industry, including failures and/or rumors of possible failures of other financial institutions and actions by regulatory authorities in response thereto;

36
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K to reflect future events or developments. Additional information on risk factors that may affect forward-looking statements is included under “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion of the critical accounting policies and analysis set forth below is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Critical accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the current period or in future periods.
The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s critical accounting policies relate to (1) the allowance for credit losses, (2) fair value of financial instruments, and (3) derivative financial instruments. These critical accounting policies require the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, future financial statements could reflect the use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain determinations inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
Allowance for Credit Losses : On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. See Note 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements for a more detailed description of methodology and impact of adoption.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments : A portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded either in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These include investment securities available-for-sale and interest rate loan swaps on qualifying commercial loans. Periodically, the estimation of fair value also affects investment securities held-to-maturity when it is determined that the Company should record an allowance for credit losses on a security. Fair value determination is also relevant for certain other assets such as other real estate owned, which is recorded at the lower of the recorded balance or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The determination of fair value also impacts certain other assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment using fair value estimates, including individually evaluated loans.
Fair value is generally based upon quoted market prices, when available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use observable market-based parameters as inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as other unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
37
See Note 20, Fair Value Presentation, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of determining fair value, including pricing validation processes.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Bank recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The Bank’s derivative financial instruments include interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties. Because the interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are not designated as hedging instruments, adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of these instruments are reported as non-interest income or non-interest expense, as applicable. The Bank’s interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are described more fully in Note 19 in the December 31, 2024, Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $10.0 million, a decrease of $36.6 million, or 137.5% compared to net income of $26.6 million earned during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was due to increases in interest expense of $24.4 million and an increase of non-interest expenses of $27.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income is the principal component of the Company’s income stream and represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield obtained by dividing the difference between interest income generated on earning assets and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by average earning assets. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can impact net interest income and net interest margin.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses totaled $62.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $76.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was driven by an increase in deposit interest expense discussed below, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The net interest margin was 3.13% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2023, on a fully tax equival ent basis. The decrease in net interest margin primarily resulted from an increase of interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities that outpaced the increase in interest income. The primary drivers of increased interest expense came from demand, money market, and time deposits. The federal funds target rate remaining high in 2024 impacted our maturing wholesale deposits that had to reprice in a higher interest rate environment, which increased margin pressure on our loan portfolio and other interest earning assets. Management made efforts to replace these deposits with callable wholesale deposits, allowing more optionality for future rate movements.
Th e yield for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the loan portfolio was 7.02% compared to 7.02% for the year ended December 31, 2023 . The unchanging yield primarily reflects the maturity of lower yielding loans and higher yields on new and variable rate loans based on higher interest rates during the year. The Federal Reserve maintained its targeted benchmark interest rate at the range of 525 - 550 basis points through September 2024. The ranged was lowered to 425 - 450 by December 2024. Maintaining higher rates in 2024 with a slight rate decrease in the last quarter of 2024 impacted yields obtained on new loans throughout the year.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the yield on the taxable investment securities portfolio was 3.08% compared to 3.20% for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the yield on the tax-exempt investment securities portfolio was 3.80% compared to 3.57% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in yield on the tax-exempt investment securities was primarily due to rates on variable securities remaining high with the current rate environment and lower yields on investment securities maturing during the period.
The rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 4.70% during the year ended December 31, 2024, from 3.57% during the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was a result of higher rates paid on all outstanding deposits in conjunction with the higher rate environment throughout the year.

Rate/ Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses
We establish a provision for credit losses, which is charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb expected credit losses that are both probable and reasonably estimated at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit and off-balance sheet losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current and future economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or economic conditions change.
This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information becomes available. The allowance for credit losses on loans is assessed on a monthly basis and provisions are made for credit losses on loans as required in order to maintain the allowance at the required level determined by our analysis. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit is assessed quarterly and provisions are made to maintain the allowance at the required level determined by our analysis.
The provision for credit losses on loans increased to a credit loss provision of $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year which ended at credit loss provision of $1.9 million. The provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure was a net recovery of $722,000 compared to the prior year which ended with a net recovery of $301,000. The increase in provision for credit losses on loans was primarily driven by loan growth and charge offs taken in 2024 as well as increasing qualitative factors within our model assumptions for increased levels of past dues, higher levels of nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, and potential weaknesses in underlying collateral for certain asset classes. The recovery of credit losses for off-balance sheet exposure was driven by fluctuations in our revolving credit line utilization rates as of December 31, 2024. Loan originations decreased $73.6 million, which totaled $447.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to loan originations of $374.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Non-performing loans were $1.0 million at December 31, 2023 and $21.7 million at December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, classified loans increased $36.2 million for a balance of $57.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, criticized loans increased $66.3 million to $85.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, watch list loans increased $63.9 million to $122.6 million. Management does not believe any significant loss exposure currently exists in these loans. During the year ended December 31, 2024, there was $4.6 million in charge-offs recorded and recoveries of $28,000 were received. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there was $468,000 in charge-offs recorded and recoveries received of $22,000.
Discussion of provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Provision for Loan Losses” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 202 2 , which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-Interest Income
Our primary sources of non-interest income are service charges on deposit accounts, such as interchange fees and statement fees, income earned on bank owned life insurance, fees earned from executing interest rate swaps on commercial loans, and gains realized on the sale of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans.
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest income:

Non-interest inco me decreased $0.1 million, or 2.6%, to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a decrease in deposit account service charges and other fee income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not recognize any fees on interest rate swaps for commercial loans for the year ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company also recognized $251,000 in planned operating losses in other fee income related to two New Market Tax Credit investments during the year ended December 31, 2023. Bank owned life insurance income increased $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the high rate environment throughout 2024. The deposit service fees decreased $153,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, due to a decrease in customer activity.
Discussion of non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Non-Interest Income” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 202 2 , which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Non-Interest Expense
Generally, non-interest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The largest component of non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Non-interest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, advertising expenses and other general and administrative expenses, including FDIC assessments, communications, travel, meals, training, supplies and postage.

Non-interest expense increased $27.4 million or 60.0% to $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $45.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily as a result of the impairment of the computer software intangible of $19.7 million, increases in salary and employee benefits of $2.2 mil lion, outside services of $1.6 mi llion, and furniture and equipment expenses of $849,000. Management performed an impairment analysis on the computer software intangible asset during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and determined that the intangible had become fully impaired, which led to a charge of $19.7 million to the income statement. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $2.2 million to $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily as a result of increasing our personnel team members by 18 employees. Outside services increase d $1.6 million, or 77.4% , to $3.6 million fo r the year ended December 31, 2024 from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Furniture and equipment expenses incre ased $849,000 , or 30% , to $3.6 million f or the year ended December 31, 2024 from $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Many of the non-interest expense categories remain consistent for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 as management continues to exercise judicious expense controls.
Discussion of non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Non-Interest Expense” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 202 2 , which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased $10.2 million or 162.9%, to a tax benefit of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from a tax expense of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in federal income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period a year earlier was driven by a net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the decline in net interest income given the impact of the highly competitive deposit interest rate environment and the impairment of the computer software intangible asset. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Bank had an effective tax benefit rate of 28.2%, compared to effective federal tax rate of 19.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Discussion of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been omitted as such discussion was provided in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Income Tax Expense” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 202 2 , which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Net Income
Refer to Note 26 for detailed segment reporting tables for the Financial Technology division of MainStreet Bank for the periods indicated. All amounts set forth are included in the Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 for MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. unless indicated otherwise.
Comparison of Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023
Total Assets
Total assets increased $192.7 million, or 9.5%, to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024 from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of increases of $107.9 million in gross loans receivable, $93.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.4 million in other assets, and $6.3 million in restricted securities. These increases were offset by a decrease in available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities of $5.4 million and a decrease of $19.7 million in computer software, due to the impairment charges taken on the computer software intangible asset.

Investment Securities
We use our securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, meet collateral requirements, assist in achieving Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) objectives, and meet regulatory capital and liquidity requirements. Our investment policy is established and reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. We are permitted under federal law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Government obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed securities, time deposits of federally insured institutions, subordinated debt of other financial institutions, equity securities, certain bankers’ acceptances and federal funds.
Our investment objectives are to maintain high asset quality, to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of our investment policy. The Board of Directors is also responsible for implementation of the investment policy and monitoring investment performance. The Board of Directors reviews the status of the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if warranted.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent to hold such security. Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while debt securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not maintain a trading portfolio. Establishing a trading portfolio would require specific authorization by the Board of Directors.
The total investment securities portfolio, including both investment securities available-for-sale and investment securities held-to-maturity, was $71.8 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $5.4 million compared with December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, the investment securities portfolio includes $55.7 million of investment securities available-for-sale and $16.1 million of investment securities held-to-maturity compared to $59.9 million of investment securities available-for-sale and $17.3 million of investment securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2023.
The Company did not sell any securities within the investment portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
For available-for-sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value, and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.
Portfolio Maturities and Yields . The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2024, are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment date, and do not reflect the effect of scheduled principal repayments, prepayments, or early redemptions that may occur. Adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust. The Company does invest in both taxable and non-taxable municipal securities. No material changes occurred in the non-taxable security portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Loan Portfolio
Our primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. Our loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate as well as commercial business loans and consumer loans, substantially all of which are secured by corresponding deposits at the Bank. Our loan customers primarily consist of small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals, real estate investors, small residential builders and individuals. Our owner occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans and commercial business loans provide us with higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and are complemented by our relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. Our lending activities are principally directed to our market area consisting of the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia metropolitan areas.
Loan Portfolio Maturities and Yields . The following table summarizes the scheduled repayments of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2024. Demand loans, having no stated repayment schedule or maturity, and overdraft loans are reported as being due in one year or less. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment date and do not reflect the impact of prepayments and scheduled principal amortization.

Loans, net of unearned income, totaled $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $107.9 million from December 31, 2023. The increase in total loans was primarily driven by growth in the overall loan portfolio, with increases in commercial real estate for owner occupied and non-owner occupied segments as well as in commercial and industrial credits. Owner occupied loans had a balance of $357.7 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $282.1 million at December 31, 2023, for a net increase of $75.7 million. Non-owner occupied loans had a balance of $560.1 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $461.8 million at December 31, 2023, for a net increase of $98.3 million. Commercial and industrial loans had a balance of $82.8 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $75.4 million at December 31, 2023, for a net increase of $7.4 million.
A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans, primarily made in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and secured by real estate or other collateral in that market. Although these loans are made to a diversified pool of unrelated borrowers across numerous businesses, adverse developments in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan real estate market could have an adverse impact on this portfolio of loans and the Company’s income and financial position. While our basic market area is the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the Bank has made loans outside that market area where the applicant is an existing customer, and the nature and quality of such loans was consistent with the Company's lending policies.
The Company has a limited amount of credit exposure to government contractors in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Below is a schedule that outlines the credit exposure to businesses with government contracts by structure type as of December 31, 2024. The line of credit balances consist of asset based lines of credits on billed receivables, which are receivables for work that has been completed and invoiced to the government or the prime contractor. Ongoing monitoring of the lines of credit include receiving borrowing base certificates monthly on the billed receivables amount. Since December 31, 2024, we have strengthened the monitoring of these lines of credit to fully verify the billed receivables amount each time funds are advanced. Term debt is secured by a combination of business assets and additional real estate collateral.

The federal banking Agencies issued guidance in 2006 which addresses institutions’ with increased concentrations of commercial real estate (CRE) loans. The guidance does not establish specific CRE lending limits; rather, it promotes sound risk management practices and appropriate levels of capital that will enable institutions to continue to pursue CRE lending in a safe and sound manner. In developing this guidance, the Agencies recognized that different types of CRE lending present different levels of risk, and that consideration should be given to the lower risk profiles and historically superior performance of certain types of CRE, such as well-structured multifamily housing finance, when compared to others, such as speculative office space construction. As discussed under “CRE Concentration Assessments,” institutions are encouraged to segment their CRE portfolios to acknowledge these distinctions for risk management purposes. The guidance focuses on those CRE loans for which the cash flow from the real estate is the primary source of repayment rather than loans to a borrower for which real estate collateral is taken as a secondary source of repayment or through an abundance of caution. Thus, for the purposes of the guidance, CRE loans include those loans with risk profiles sensitive to the condition of the general CRE market (for example, market demand, changes in capitalization rates, vacancy rates, or rents). CRE loans are land development and construction loans (including 1- to 4-family residential and commercial construction loans) and other land loans. CRE loans also include loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm nonresidential property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Excluded from the scope of this Guidance are loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.
As part of their ongoing supervisory monitoring processes, the Agencies use certain criteria to identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE concentration risk. An institution that has experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, has notable exposure to a specific type of CRE, or is approaching or exceeds the following supervisory criteria may be identified for further supervisory analysis of the level and nature of its CRE concentration risk:
1.
Total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100 percent or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital; or
2.
Total commercial real estate loans as defined in this guidance represent 300 percent or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital, and the outstanding balance of the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50 percent or more during the prior 36 months.
The Agencies use the criteria as a preliminary step to identify institutions that may have CRE concentration risk. Because regulatory reports capture a broad range of CRE loans with varying risk characteristics, the supervisory monitoring criteria do not constitute limits on an institution’s lending activity but rather serve as high-level indicators to identify institutions potentially exposed to CRE concentration risk.
The Company holds a concentration in commercial real estate loans. The Board has set a risk tolerance level of 150% and 375% of consolidated risk-based capital for construction, land development and other land l oans and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2024, construction, land development and other land l oans represented 131.9% of consolidated risk-based capital. Total commercial real estate loans as defined by the Agency guidance represented 393.8% of consolidated risk-based capital. During the prior 36 months, the Company has experienced an increase in its commercial real estate portfolio by 72% . The Company has temporarily exceeded the target level for the commercial real estate segment and is working quickly to bring this segment back within the Board tolerance level.
The management team has extensive experience in underwriting commercial real estate loans and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. The Board of Directors has established internal maximum limits on CRE as an asset class overall as well as sub limits within CRE by property class, to better manage and control the exposure to property classes during periods of changing economic conditions. The Board of Directors also has minimum targets for regulatory capital ratios that are in excess of well capitalized ratios.
Our risk management process begins with a robust underwriting program. The underwriting and risk rating of all loans is completed by an underwriting team that is independent of the originating lender(s). The underwriting analysis of commercial real estate loans includes pre-origination stress testing utilizing the portfolio stress testing methods to fully understand the potential exposure before we originate the credit. Once originated, each loan receives ongoing quarterly stress tests to evaluate the risk profile over the life of the credit.
We stress test earning assets on a quarterly basis and measure the results against the Bank's risk-based capital. For commercial loans, residential real estate loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and consumer installment loans, we multiply the total outstanding amount for each loan category by our highest quarter historical loss for that category as a surrogate in order to calculate a stressed loss.
47
For our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, we use three separate methodologies in our stress test. If a property fails more than one of the three tests, we extend the test with the highest exposure value and add an additional 10% for selling costs.
•
An immediate and sustained 3.0% increase in interest rates,
•
An immediate and sustained 5.0% increase in vacancy rates, and
•
An immediate and sustained 2.0% change in the capitalization rate, or “cap rate.”
We stress test the construction lending portfolio by applying exponential discounting (using a "k factor" of 2) to each project based upon its percentage of completion. The project is stressed using the as-is and as-complete appraised values and assumes 10% selling costs.
For all other loans, we utilize the Bank's historic loss rates or if not available, the average loss rates of UBPR Group 4 banks, for bank owned life insurance we utilize default rates from S&P Global ratings, and for securities we obtain an independent fair market value and if it is less than the book value, we subtract the fair market value from the book value to determine the stress loss. The following table shows the Company's earning assets and the results of the stress test performed for the periods indicated.

The Company employs an external loan review firm to conduct ongoing reviews of the loan portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the independent external loan review firm reviewed approximately 70% of the entire portfolio by outstanding dollar balance. The external review did not identify any material underwriting or ongoing portfolio management concerns.

The Company also underwrites and originates owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. These loans are typically term loans made to support properties that rely upon the operations of the business occupying the property for repayment. The Agencies specifically excluded owner-occupied commercial real estate from their concentration guidance, as the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.
50
The following two tables depict a well-diversified portfolio of owner-occupied commercial real estate as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The properties are distributed nicely among the Company's footprint. This loan segment continues to perform very well and is supported by strong loan-to-values (LTVs). The following table sets forth our owner-occupied CRE portfolio by the business industry groups that occupy the properties for the periods indicated.

Loan-to-value is based on maximum potential outstanding at time of origination
The risk profile of real estate properties within our market can vary depending upon location. Therefore, we have disaggregated our stress testing of construction projects further by segmenting the loans into two groupings, those inside a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C. and those outside that radius. For example, during the 2009 recession, the peak-to-trough drop in property values inside the beltway was less than 10% (CoreLogic, 2019). The Board determined that loans made inside a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C. carry less geographic risk than those made outside of that radius.
51
The graphic below is a geopoint map that depicts all construction loans, non-owner occupied CRE loans, and owner-occupied CRE loans, with a majority of all loan types concentrated within a 15-mile radius of Washington, D.C.
Asset Quality
The Company’s asset quality remained strong during the year ended December 31, 2024. Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days past due, and other real estate owned totaled $21.7 million at December 31, 2024, and $1.0 million at December 31, 2023.
A loan’s past due status is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. All loans which are 30 or more days past due at the end of the month are reported to the Board of Directors. Commercial 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. Consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 120 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. 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.
The Company may identify loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.
52
As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets were 0.97% at December 31, 2024, compared with 0.05% at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $21.7 million in loans on nonaccrual status. During the last quarter of the year ended December 31, 2024, nonperforming assets trended positively with loans on nonaccrual status decreasing by $6.7 million or 23.5%.
See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 5, Allowance for Credit Losses, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s credit grade categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions.

Interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 had non-accruing loans been current according to their original terms was $1.9 million and $133,092, respectively.
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.
The Company further describes loans that were modified during the year ended December 31, 2024 in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Loss on Loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable and estimable future credit losses in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific individually evaluated loans, and current and future economic conditions. Allowances for individually evaluated loans are generally determined based on collateral values. Because of uncertainties associated with regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on individually evaluated loans, it is reasonably possible that management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the near-term. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses on loans which is charged to expense and reduced by full and partial charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to individually evaluated loans are charged or credited to the provision for credit losses on loans. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on various factors, including, but not limited to, management’s ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan losses on loan pools, the fair value of the underlying collateral, current and future economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. An integral part of their examination process, the Federal Reserve Board will periodically review our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by the lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that is not more likely than not they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326 and all the subsequent amendments there to effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior periods amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $1.7 million, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment includes an increase in allowance for credit losses of $2.2 million and an increase in net deferred tax assets of $506,000.
See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 5, Allowance for Credit Losses, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s adoption of ASC 326.

At December 31, 2024, our allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.06% of total loans and we had $21.7 million in non-performing loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $19.5 million at December 31, 2024 from $16.5 million at December 31, 2023 as a direct result of loan growth and charge offs taken in 2024 as well as increasing qualitative factors within our model assumptions for increased levels of past dues and potential weaknesses in underlying collateral for certain asset classes. There were $4.5 million in net loan charge-offs and $446,000 in net loan charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Funding Activities
Deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investing activities and their cost is the largest category of interest expense. The Company also utilizes wholesale deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company’s funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company’s asset/liability management process
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $221.7 million from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024. Wholesale deposits, which are included in the table below, totaled $468.1 million and $433.0 million at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The following table presents the Company’s average deposits segregated by major category for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The pronounced shift from non-interest bearing demand deposits into money market demand and time deposits was driven by market conditions emanating from the large-bank failures in the first half of 2023. In order for us to maintain the customer relationships, we needed to shift the deposits into accounts where we could provide excess FDIC insurance coverage. We also gained in money market demand and time deposits as customers brought additional funds into the Company.
The Company uses wholesale deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Wholesale deposits provide a diversified and stable source of funding during times of market volatility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $468.1 million of total wholesale deposit funding sources, an increase of $35.1 million compared to December 31, 2023, which totaled $433.0 million.
Given the interest rate environment and strategic initiatives, the Company replaced maturing lower yielding wholesale CDs with higher market rate CDs. Many replacement CDs include call options at our discretion if economic conditions change. The Company also utilized additional wholesale demand deposits to provide liquidity and more effectively balance our interest rate sensitivity. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , total wholesale deposit funding accounted for approximately 28% of our interest expense.
The following table presents the Company's total wholesale deposit composition, concentrations, current rate and remaining duration, if applicable as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Regulatory Defined Wholesale Deposits
Each quarter the Bank files a bank call report with the FDIC, which has a specific way it defines wholesale brokered deposits. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $442.9 million of wholesale deposits outstanding, as defined by FDIC, an increase of $44.41 million from December 31, 2023. In addition, p ursuant to rule 12 CFR 337.6(e), well-capitalized and well-rated institutions are not required to treat reciprocal deposits as wholesale deposits up to the lesser of 20 percent of their total liabilities or $5 billion. Reciprocal core deposits exceeding this threshold must be reported additionally as wholesale deposits for call report purposes only. As of December 31, 2024, the Company additionally reported $259.9 million in reciprocal deposits considered wholesale for call report purposes only, bringing regulatory defined wholesale deposits to $702.8 million as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, all of the Company's reciprocal deposits were core deposits from customers who placed their deposits in the reciprocal network for additional FDIC insurance coverage.
55
At December 31, 2024, the Company had $779.6 million in total deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.
Certificates of deposit in amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 totaled approximately $457.4 million. The following table sets forth the maturity of these certificates as of December 31, 2024.

Borrowed Funds
We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Richmond upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential and commercial mortgage loans, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we were permitted to borrow up to an aggregate total of $544.8 million and $504.8 million, re spectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Richmond. There were Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings outstanding of $0 at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 we had credit availabilit y of $144.0 mill ion and $114.0 million with correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs, if necessary. Borrowings were $0 million and $15.0 out standing at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, under this facility.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
The Company assesses liquidity needs on a daily basis using a sophisticated monitoring system that identifies daily sources and uses for a rolling 30-day period. The Company also assesses liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and changes in credit ratings. The assessment includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The assessment provides regular monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through unencumbered debt securities available-for-sale, loan principal and interest payments, maturities and prepayments of investment securities held-to-maturity and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment debt securities available-for-sale. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold and maturing interest-bearing deposits with other banks, are additional sources of liquidity.
57
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts and through FHLB and other borrowings. Wholesale deposits, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company’s incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.
In addition to the Company’s financial performance and condition, liquidity may be impacted by the Company’s structure as a bank holding company that is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Company requires cash for various operating needs that could include payment of dividends to its stockholders, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is dividends paid by the Bank. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. In addition to the formal statutes and regulations, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the Bank’s total capital in relation to its assets, deposits and other such items. Any future dividends must be set forth in the Company's capital plans before any dividends can be paid.
The Company’s ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of the Company’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management is rated by an independent rating agency annually and is provided with independent current outlook for the Company.
The Board of Director's and the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) are responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of December 31, 2024.
We monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short-and intermediate-term securities.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $207.7 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $55.7 million at December 31, 2024.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.7 million, $31.6 million, and $33.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from maturing securities, was $122.3 million, $130.7 million, and $228.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. There were no sales of available-for-sale debt securities in 2024, 2023, or 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities was $200.7 million, $83.0 million, and $232.6 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which consisted primarily of increases in interest bearing deposits and federal funds purchased for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. There were repayments of $15.0 million in federal funds purchased for year ended 2024 and repayments of $100.0 million in FHLB advances for the year ended 2023.
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2024, totaled $615.7 million of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds in the normal course of business, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Regulatory Capital
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 possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated 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 assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
58
The federal regulatory capital rules apply to all depository institutions as well as to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $3 billion or more. However, the regulatory capital requirements generally do not apply on a consolidated basis to a bank holding company with total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion unless the holding company: (1) is engaged in significant nonbanking activities either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; (2) conducts significant off-balance sheet activities (including securitization and asset management or administration) either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; or (3) has a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred securities) that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Federal Reserve may apply the regulatory capital standards at its discretion to any bank holding company, regardless of asset size, if such action is warranted for supervisory purposes.
Because the Company has total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion and does not engage in activities that would trigger application of the federal regulatory capital rules, it is not at present subject to consolidated capital requirements under such rules.
The Basel III Capital Rules, a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations, became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2024 and 2023 is 2.50%. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total capital, Common Equity Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2024, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The Bank’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are presented in the table below.

Non-GAAP Measures
In reporting the results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on an operating basis. These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance.
Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis, provides valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the impact that investments in tax-exempt securities have on our financial metrics. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to the income tax effect on tax-exempt securities, using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.
The Company believes that tangible common stockholders' equity, excluding intangible assets, is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and useful to investors because it provides an additional measure to calculate the book value of our common shares by removing the value of a subjective portion of our balance sheet.
