NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC 10-K

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 38 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of National Bankshares, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' 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 matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Allowance for Credit Losses – Collectively Evaluated Loans Description of the Matter As further described in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 5 (Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Nonperforming Assets) 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, modified by peer 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 $10.2 million of the total recorded ACLL of $10.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The collectively evaluated ACLL consists of quantitative and qualitative components. The Company uses a discounted cash flow method for all of its pools except for bankcards, which are measured using the historical loss rate adjusted for the forecast. These estimates consider large amounts of data in tabulating default, loss given default, and 39 Table of Contents prepayment speeds and require complex calculations as well as management judgment in the selection of appropriate inputs. In addition to the quantitative component, the collectively evaluated ACLL 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. Factors considered by management in developing its qualitative estimates include: changes in lending policies; management experience; economic conditions; loans past due; competitive, legal and regulatory environment; and other loan characteristics. 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 ACLL on collectively evaluated loans. We identified the estimation of the collectively evaluated ACLL as a critical audit matter as auditing the collectively evaluated ACLL involved especially complex and subjective auditor judgment in evaluating management’s assessment of the inherently subjective estimates. The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s process for determining its ACLL, including the underlying methodology and significant inputs to the calculation. • Substantively testing management’s process for measuring the collectively evaluated ACLL, including: • Evaluating the conceptual soundness, assumptions, and key data inputs of the Company’s discounted cash flow methodology, including the identification of loan pools, the probability of default and loss given default rate inputs, and the prepayment/curtailment rate inputs for each pool. • Evaluating management’s selection of forecasting inputs and testing the accuracy of management’s incorporation of its forecasts in the collectively evaluated ACLL estimate. • Evaluating the completeness and accuracy of data inputs used as a basis for the qualitative factors. • Evaluating the qualitative factors for directional consistency in comparison to prior periods and for reasonableness in comparison to underlying supporting data. • Testing the mathematical accuracy of the ACLL for collectively evaluated loans including both the discounted cash flow and qualitative factor components of the calculations. Business Combinations – Fair Value of Acquired Loans Description of the Matter As described in Note 22 (Business Combination) to the financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of Frontier Community Bank (“FCB”) on June 1, 2024 for total consideration of $16.3 million. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including acquired loans with an aggregate fair value of $118.7 million. Determining the acquired fair values, particularly in relation to the loan portfolio, is inherently subjective and involves significant judgment regarding the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value. In determining the fair value of loans acquired, management must determine whether or not acquired loans have evidence of more-than-insignificant credit deterioration at acquisition, the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected, and market discount rates, among other assumptions. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the loans acquired and the amount of goodwill recorded. We identified the acquisition date fair value of acquired loans as a critical audit matter as auditing this estimate is especially complex and requires subjective auditor judgment. Auditing this estimate required a high level of judgment in evaluating management’s identification of loans with evidence of credit deterioration, the need for specialized skill in development and application of subjective assumptions in estimated cash flows, and the size of the acquired loan portfolio. The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s business combination accounting practices and internal controls, including the process of: • The appropriateness of the valuation approach and methodology. • Review of valuation specialist valuation, including financial information, data, assumptions utilized and key inputs, specifically as it relates to the valuation for acquired loans. • Substantively testing management’s process, including the use of our own valuation specialist to assess the Company’s methods and significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of the acquired loan portfolio and evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable with respect to market participant views and other factors. • Testing the completeness and accuracy of loans determined to have credit deterioration at acquisition and evaluating the reasonableness of the criteria utilized by management in making the determination. • Testing the accuracy of the data utilized in the development of acquisition date fair values by confirming, on a sample basis, select data. 40 Table of Contents /s/ Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C .

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements $ in thousands, except per share data. Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the National Bank of Blacksburg, and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and to general practices within the banking industry. Subsequent events have been considered through the filing date of this Form 10-K. The following summarizes significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, loans acquired in a business combination, evaluation of impairment of goodwill, evaluation of impairment of core deposit intangibles, and pension obligations. Reclassifications Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income or stockholders’ equity. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and Fed funds sold. The Company invests over-night funds in interest-bearing deposits at other banks, including the FHLB, the Federal Reserve and other entities. Interest-bearing deposits are carried at cost. Securities Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity may be classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, 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, net of tax. The Company uses the interest method to 47 Table of Contents recognize in interest income purchase premiums and discounts over the term of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities For available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount must be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in such a situation. In evaluating available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (recovery of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an available for sale debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on securities of $ 3,171 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 3,281 as of December 31, 2023, along with accrued interested receivable on loans, is included in accrued interest receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Equity Securities Equity securities with readily-determinable fair values are measured at fair value using the “exit price notion”. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income. Equity securities without readily-determinable fair values are recorded as other assets at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities of the same issuer. Loans Held for Sale Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual loan basis. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. The Company releases mortgage servicing rights when loans are sold on the secondary market. Loans The Company, through its banking subsidiary, provides mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for credit losses, any purchase premium or discount, and deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Purchase premium or discount is recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. The Bank’s loan policy is updated and approved by the Board of Directors annually and disseminated to lending and loan portfolio management personnel to ensure consistent lending practices. The policy communicates the Company’s risk tolerance by prescribing underwriting guidelines and procedures, including approval limits and hierarchy, documentation standards, requirements for collateral and loan-to-value limits, debt coverage, overall creditworthiness and guarantor support. Of primary consideration is the repayment ability of the borrowers and (if secured) the collateral value in relation to the principal balance. Collateral lowers risk and may be used as a secondary source of repayment. The credit decision must be supported by documentation appropriate to the type of loan, including current financial information, income verification, cash flow analysis, tax returns, credit reports, collateral information, guarantor verification, title reports, appraisals (where appropriate) and other documents. The Company’s loans are grouped into six segments: real estate construction, consumer real estate, commercial real estate, commercial non-real estate, public sector and IDA, and consumer non-real estate. Each segment is subject to certain risks that influence pricing, loan structures, approval requirements, reserves, and ongoing credit management. Real Estate Construction Loans. Real estate construction loans are subject to general risks from changing commercial building and housing market trends and economic conditions that may impact demand for completed properties and the costs of completion. Completed properties that do not sell or become leased within originally expected timeframes may impact the borrower’s ability to service the debt. Construction loans are underwritten against projected cash flows from rental income, business and/or personal income from an owner-occupant or the sale of the property to an end-user. Associated risks may be mitigated by requiring fixed-price 48 Table of Contents construction contracts, performance and payment bonding, controlled disbursements, and pre-sale contracts or pre-lease agreements. Risks specific to the borrower are also evaluated, including previous repayment history, debt service ability, and current and projected loan-to value ratios for the collateral. Consumer Real Estate Loans. The Bank offers a variety of first mortgage and junior lien loans secured by primary residences within our markets. The credit quality of consumer real estate is subject to risks associated with the borrower’s repayment ability and collateral value. Credit decisions are primarily based on loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios, debt-to-income (“DTI”) ratios, liquidity and net worth. Income and financial information is obtained from personal tax returns, personal financial statements and employment documentation. A maximum LTV ratio of 80% is generally required. The DTI ratio is limited to 43% of gross income. Consumer real estate mortgages may have fixed interest rates for the entire term of the loan or variable interest rates subject to change after the first, third, or fifth year. Variable rates are based on the weekly average yield of United States Treasury Securities and are underwritten at fully-indexed rates. Home equity loans are secured primarily by second mortgages on residential property. The underwriting policy for home equity loans generally permits aggregate (the total of all liens secured by the collateral property) borrowing availability up to 80% of the appraised value of the collateral. We offer both fixed rate and variable rate home equity loans, with variable rate loans underwritten at fully-indexed rates. Decisions are primarily based on LTV ratios, DTI ratios, liquidity and credit history. We do not offer home equity loan products with reduced documentation. We do not offer certain high risk loan products such as interest-only consumer mortgage loans, hybrid loans, payment option adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”), reverse mortgage loans, loans with initial teaser rates or any product with negative amortization. A hybrid loan begins as a fixed rate mortgage and after a set number of years, automatically adjusts to an ARM. Payment option ARMs usually have adjustable rates, for which borrowers choose their monthly payment of either a full payment, interest only, or a minimum payment which may be lower than the payment required to reduce the balance of the loan in accordance with the originally underwritten amortization. Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans generally are secured by first mortgages on real estate, including multifamily residential real estate, commercial real estate occupied by the owner/borrower, and commercial real estate leased to non-owners. Properties financed include retail centers, office space, hotels and motels, apartments, and industrial properties. Loans in the commercial real estate segment are impacted by economic risks from changing commercial real estate markets, rental markets for multi-family housing and commercial buildings, and economic factors that would impact the businesses housed by the commercial real estate. Underwriting decisions are based upon an analysis of the economic viability of the collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. The Bank obtains appraisals from qualified certified independent appraisers to establish the value of collateral properties. The loan amount is generally limited to 80% of the lower of cost or appraised value and is individually determined based on the property type, quality, location and financial strength of any guarantors. The property’s projected net cash flows compared to the debt service (often referred to as the “debt service coverage ratio”) is required to be 115% or greater and is computed after deduction for a vacancy factor and property expenses, as appropriate. Borrower cash flow may be supplemented by a personal guarantee from the principal(s) of the borrower and guarantees from other parties. The Bank may employ stress testing techniques on higher balance loans to determine repayment ability in a changing rate environment before granting loan approval. The Bank requires title insurance, fire, extended coverage casualty insurance and flood insurance, if appropriate, in order to protect the security interest in the underlying property. Commercial Non-Real Estate Loans. Commercial non-real estate loans are secured by collateral other than real estate, or are unsecured. Credit risk for commercial non-real estate loans is subject to economic conditions, borrower repayment ability and collateral value (if secured). Commercial and agricultural loans primarily finance equipment acquisition, expansion, working capital, and other general business purposes. Because these loans have a higher degree of risk, the Bank generally obtains collateral such as inventory, accounts receivables or equipment and personal guarantees from the borrowing entity’s principal owners. The Bank’s policy limits lending up to 60% of the appraised value for inventory, up to 90% of the lower of cost of market value of equipment and up to 70% for accounts receivables less than 90 days old. Credit decisions are based upon an assessment of the financial capacity of the applicant, including the primary borrower’s ability to repay within proposed terms, a risk assessment, financial strength of guarantors and adequacy of collateral. Credit agency reports of individual owners’ credit history supplement the analysis. Public Sector and IDA Loans. Public sector and IDA loans are extended to municipalities and related entities within the Bank’s geographical footprint. Borrowers include general taxing authorities such as a city or county, industrial/economic development authorities or utility authorities. Credit risk stems from the entity’s ability to repay through either a direct obligation or assignment of specific revenues from an enterprise or other economic activity. Repayment sources are derived from taxation, such as property taxes and sales taxes, or revenue from the project financed with the loan. The Company’s underwriting considers economic and population trends of the municipality and the municipality’s reserves, pension liabilities and other liabilities. Consumer Non-Real Estate Loans. Consumer non-real estate includes credit cards, automobile and other consumer loans. Credit cards and certain other consumer loans are unsecured, while collateral is obtained for automobile loans and other consumer loans. Credit risk stems primarily from the borrower’s ability to repay. Our procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of an applicant’s overall financial capacity, including credit history and the ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. If the loan is secured by an automobile or other collateral, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral security to the proposed loan amount. We require borrowers to maintain collision insurance on loans secured by automobiles. 49 Table of Contents Past due status and nonaccrual designation A loan is considered past due when a payment of principal and/or interest is due but not paid. Credit card payments not received within 30 days after the statement date, real estate loan payments not received within the payment cycle and all other non-real estate secured loans for which payment is not made within the required payment cycle are considered 30 days past due. Management closely monitors loans past due 30-89 days and loans past due 90 or more days. The Company considers multiple factors when determining whether to discontinue accrual of interest on individual loans. Generally loans are placed in nonaccrual status when collection of interest and/or full principal is considered doubtful. Interest accrual is discontinued at the time a commercial real estate loan or commercial non-real estate loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. Loans modified to provide relief from payments of interest or principal for more than 90 days are designated nonaccrual. Accrued interest is reversed against income when a loan is placed in nonaccrual status. Any interest payments received during a loan’s nonaccrual period are credited to the principal balance of the loan. Loans in nonaccrual are reviewed on an individual loan basis to determine whether they may return to accrual status. To return to accrual status, the Company’s evaluation must determine that the underlying cause of the original delinquency or weakness has been resolved, such as receipt of new guarantees and/or increased cash flows that cover the debt service, and that future payments are reasonably assured. Charge-off policy The Company’s charge-off policy meets or is more stringent than the minimum standards required by regulators. When available information confirms that a specific loan or a portion thereof, within any loan class, is uncollectible the amount is charged off against the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, losses on consumer real estate and consumer non-real estate loans are typically charged off no later than when the loans are 120 - 180 days past due, and losses on loans secured by residential real estate or by commercial real estate are charged off by the time the loans reach 180 days past due, in compliance with regulatory guidelines. Accordingly, secured loans may be charged down to the estimated value of the collateral, with previously accrued unpaid interest reversed. Subsequent charge-offs may be required as a result of changes in the market value of collateral or other repayment prospects. Credit quality indicators Credit quality indicators, which the Company terms risk grades, are assigned through the Company’s credit review function for larger loans and selective review of loans that fall below credit review thresholds. Credit quality is rated based on the loan’s payment history, the borrower’s current financial situation and value of the underlying collateral. Loans that do not indicate heightened risk are graded as “pass.” Loans that appear to have elevated credit risk because of frequent or persistent past due status, which is less than 75 days, or that show weakness in the borrower’s financial condition are risk graded “special mention.” Loans with frequent or persistent delinquency exceeding 75 days or that have a higher level of weakness in the borrower’s financial condition are graded “classified.” Classified loans have regulatory risk ratings of “substandard” and “doubtful.” Sales, purchases and reclassification of loans The Company finances consumer real estate mortgages under “best efforts” contracts with mortgage purchasers. The mortgages are designated as held for sale upon initiation. There have been no major reclassifications from portfolio loans to held for sale. Mortgages held for sale are not included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses. Occasionally, the Company purchases or sells participations in loans. All participation loans purchased met the Company’s normal underwriting standards at the time the participation was entered. Participation loans are included in the appropriate portfolio balances to which the allowance methodology is applied. Modified Loans When a borrower requests a modification to a loan, the Company evaluates the request to determine whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are risk rated according to credit quality indicators as discussed above, and are subject to the Company’s standard ACL process as discussed below. 50 Table of Contents Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans The Company estimates the ACLL based on amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which a loan is originated, adjusted for net deferred fees or costs, premium or discount, collection of cash, and charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the ACLL. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $ 3,299 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 3,032 as of December 31, 2023, along with accrued interested receivable on securities, is included in accrued interest receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Intrinsic to the Company’s policy on estimating the ACLL are policies regarding loan pools, nonaccruals, past due status, collateral valuation, charge-offs and risk ratings. The Company measures expected credit losses on loans on a collective (pool) basis, when the loans share similar risk characteristics, such as collateral type and intended use, repayment source, and (if applicable) the borrower’s business model. The Company has identified the following pools of loans with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses: Real Estate Construction Construction, residential Construction, other Consumer Real Estate Equity lines Residential closed-end first liens Residential closed-end junior liens Investor-owned residential real estate Commercial Real Estate Multifamily residential real estate Commercial real estate, owner occupied Commercial real estate, other Commercial Non-Real Estate Commercial and industrial Public Sector and IDA Public sector and IDA Consumer Non-Real Estate Credit cards Automobile Other consumer loans The Company’s methodologies for estimating the ACLL consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including historical losses, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions, and current economic and portfolio conditions. The difference between cash flow estimates and amortized cost is the ACLL. The Company uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method for all of its pools except for bankcards, which are measured using the historical loss rate adjusted for the forecast. For loans using the DCF method, cash flows are projected at the instrument level and discounted using the loan’s effective interest rate. Cash flows are generated using each loan’s payment attributes, adjusted for pool-level information on the PD, LGD and prepayment speeds. Default is defined as full or partial charge-off, nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more. PDs for each pool are calculated using the Company’s historical data, modified by peer data, to ensure a full economic cycle is reflected in the estimate. PDs are then adjusted for the forecast. The Company designated national unemployment as its forecast variable. Multiple forecasts from reputable and independent third parties are sourced to inform the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecasting of current expected credit losses. The forecast is applied over a horizon selected by the Company’s management at each reporting date, typically of one year and not to exceed two years, after which loss rates revert to long-term historical loss experience on a straight line basis over a period determined by management, of up to three years. The forecast horizon and reversion period are applied consistently to the entire portfolio. The results of DCF calculations are modified by allocations for qualitative factors to account for changes in variables that may affect credit risk. The Company considers and allocates for changes in lending policies, management experience, economic conditions, loans past due, competitive, legal and regulatory environments and other factors. Qualitative factors are benchmarked to historical data and are adjusted based upon quantitative analysis. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates as individually evaluated loans for which foreclosure is probable, loans in nonaccrual status, and loans that exceed $ 400 and are risk graded “special mention” or “classified” (together known as “criticized”). The fair value of individually evaluated loans is measured using the fair value of collateral (“collateral method”) or the DCF method. The collateral method is applied to individually evaluated loans for which foreclosure is probable. The collateral method is also applied to individually evaluated loans when borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral (“collateral dependent”). The ACLL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, the ACLL is calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, the ACLL is calculated as the amount by which the loan’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACLL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan. 51 Table of Contents The DCF method is applied to individually evaluated loans that do not meet the criteria for collateral method measurement. Cash flows are projected and discounted using the same method as for collectively evaluated loans, but the PD is increased to reflect increased risk, up to 100% for nonaccrual loans. Expected credit losses are reflected in the ACLL through a charge to provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. When the Company deems all or a portion of a loan to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off against the ACLL. The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACLL when received. Unallocated surplus In addition to funding the allowance for credit losses based upon data analysis, the Company has the option to fund an unallocated surplus in excess to the calculated requirement, based upon management judgement. The Company’s policy permits an unallocated surplus of between 0 % and 5 % of the calculated requirement. ACL on Unfunded Commitments Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments such as undrawn portions of revolving lines of credit, commercial letters of credit, and loan commitments that have not yet been funded. The contractual amount of those instruments represents the Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. The Company records an ACL on unfunded commitments, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the ACLL. The ACL on unfunded commitments is recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, included in other liabilities, and is adjusted through the provision for credit loss expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Estimation of the allowance for credit losses The estimation of the allowance involves analysis of internal and external variables, methodologies, assumptions and management’s judgment and experience. Key judgments used in determining the allowance for credit losses include internal risk rating determinations, market and collateral values, discount rates, loss rates, and management’s assessment of current economic conditions. These judgments are inherently subjective and actual losses could be greater or less than the estimate. Future estimates of the allowance could increase or decrease based on changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, concentrations of various types of loans, economic conditions or the markets in which collateral may be sold. The estimate of the allowance accrual determines the amount of provision expense and directly affects our financial results. Please see Note 5 for additional information. Other Real Estate Owned Real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing the cost basis of the asset. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net costs of other real estate owned in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Rate Lock Commitments The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans in which the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 60 days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, by committing to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contracts is very high due to their similarity. The market value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts is not readily ascertainable because rate lock commitments and best effort contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the changes in the value of the underlying assets while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. Because of the high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments. 52 Table of Contents Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company identifies the acquirer and the closing date and applies applicable recognition principles and conditions. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to record at fair value on the acquisition date the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. To determine the fair values, the Company relies on internal or third-party valuations, such as appraisals, valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses, or other valuation techniques. The Company's acquisition of FCB closed on June 1, 2024. Results of operations and footnote disclosures reflect assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs Acquisition-related costs are costs the Company incurs to effect a business combination, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Some other examples of costs to the Company include systems conversions, integration planning consultants and advertising costs. The Company accounts for acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities are recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP. These acquisition-related costs are included within noninterest expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Acquired loans The most significant assessment of fair value in the Company’s accounting for business combinations relates to the valuation of an acquired loan portfolio. Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date without the carryover of the related allowance for credit losses on loans. The acquisition date fair value becomes the Company's original cost basis of the acquired loans. The fair value discount is accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the loans. Fair values are determined primarily through a discounted cash flow approach which considers the acquired loans’ underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, and remaining balances. Estimates of fair value also include estimates of default, loss severity, and estimated prepayments. At the acquisition date, loans are classified as either (i) purchase credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) loans or (ii) non-PCD loans. PCD loans are those for which there is more than insignificant evidence of credit deterioration since origination. The Company designated the following indicators as more than insignificant evidence of credit deterioration since origination: As of acquisition date: • nonaccrual • past due 60 days or more • credit risk rating of criticized Over the life of the loan: • three or more instances of payments past due 30 days or more • two or more instances of payments past due 60 days or more • one or more instance of payments past due 90 days or more At acquisition, an ACLL for PCD loans is determined based upon the Company’s methodology for estimating the ACLL. This allowance is credited to the ACLL with a corresponding adjustment to the cost basis of the loans on the date of the acquisition. As the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of PCD loans. The difference between the new cost basis and the unpaid principal balance is either a noncredit discount or premium. Disposals of PCD loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the loan portfolio at its carrying amount. For non-PCD loans, an ACL is established in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s originated loans. The ACL is determined using the Company’s methodology and the related ACL for non-PCD loans is recorded through a charge to the provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans are purchased or acquired. Intangible assets In accordance with ASC 805, the Company also identified intangible assets acquired. Intangible assets lack physical substance but have contractual or other legal rights or are capable of being sold or exchanged either on their own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgment. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment testing. Upon acquisition of FCB, the Company recognized a core deposit intangible asset, which represents the value of customer deposit relationships. Core deposit intangible assets are amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years using an accelerated method which approximates the estimated attrition of the acquired deposits. 53 Table of Contents Goodwill The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. For December 31, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment, as permitted by ASC 350-20-35-3A, to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of NBB (“reporting unit”) is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The assessment included analysis of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, share price considerations, and other relevant entity-specific events and events affecting the reporting unit. No conditions were identified that would warrant the need for a quantitative impairment analysis, and no impairment was recorded. Core Deposit Intangibles Core deposit intangibles are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. For December 31, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to assess the likelihood of impairment of its core deposit intangibles. The assessment included testing model assumptions surrounding deposit retention, deposit costs and noninterest income generated. No conditions were identified that would warrant the need for a quantitative impairment analysis, and no impairment was recorded. Bank Owned Life Insurance The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees. The purchase of these life insurance policies allows the Company to use tax-advantaged rates of return. The cash surrender value of these policies is included as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets, and any increase in cash surrender value is recorded as income from bank owned life insurance on the consolidated statements of income. In the event of the death of an insured individual under these policies, the Company receives a death benefit which is also recorded as income from bank owned life insurance. Pension Plan The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and recognizes changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income. The funded status of a benefit plan is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. The Company’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions, including the IRS mortality table, effective interest rate, discount rate, the estimated return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of compensation increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, or in the method under which benefits are calculated may impact pension assets, liabilities or expense. Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets on the straight-line basis. Depreciable lives include 40 years for premises, 3 - 10 years for furniture and equipment, and 3 years for computer software. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Income Taxes Income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the asset and liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes, if any, as a component of income tax expense. 54 Table of Contents Trust Assets and Income Assets (other than cash deposits) held by NBB’s Trust Department in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust income is recognized on the accrual basis. Stock Based Compensation Compensation cost is recognized for stock based payment awards issued to directors and employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used to estimate fair value for restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. The Company recognizes forfeitures of nonvested awards as they occur. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding nonvested restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under restricted stock awards that have no t yet vested. Please see Note 21 for additional information. Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Advertising The Company charges advertising costs to expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses were $ 262 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $ 109 for the year ended December 31, 2023 . Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities via the accrual method. The Company recognizes noninterest income when it satisfies commitments to customers. Please refer to Note 18: Revenue Recognition. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale and the defined benefit plan, net of taxes, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity. Segment Reporting The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures" on January 1, 2024. The Company has determined that all of its banking divisions meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby banking divisions and subsidiaries serve a similar base of commercial and consumer clients utilizing a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms that are collectively reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer , who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as is net income reported in the Company's consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. 55 Table of Contents Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2024-03 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. ASU 2023-09 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. Note 2: Restriction on Cash The Company’s subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve does not currently require member banks to hold an average balance in order to purchase services from the Federal Reserve. Note 3: Securities The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available for sale, with gross unrealized gains and losses, as of the dates indicated, follows: December 31, 2024 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 351,136 $ - $ 40,012 $ 311,124 States and political subdivisions 178,106 - 32,372 145,734 Mortgage-backed securities 143,747 24 5,473 138,298 Corporate debt securities 6,507 - 764 5,743 U.S. treasury 1,000 - 1 999 Total securities available for sale $ 680,496 $ 24 $ 78,622 $ 601,898 December 31, 2023 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 353,904 $ - $ 42,060 $ 311,844 States and political subdivisions 179,507 - 29,614 149,893 Mortgage-backed securities 156,875 - 6,724 150,151 Corporate debt securities 6,504 - 754 5,750 U.S. treasury 996 - 33 963 Total securities available for sale $ 697,786 $ - $ 79,185 $ 618,601 56 Table of Contents The deferred tax asset for the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $ 16,506 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 16,629 as of December 31, 2023. The deferred tax asset is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortized cost and fair value of single maturity securities available for sale, by contractual maturity as of the date indicated, are shown below. Mortgage-backed securities are categorized by final maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Consideration is given to the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At December 31, 2024, the Company had 564 securities with a fair value of $ 583,947 in an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews securities in an unrealized loss position to evaluate credit risk. The Company considers payment history, risk ratings from external parties, financial statements for municipal and corporate securities, public statements from issuers and other available credible published sources in evaluating credit risk. No credit risk was found and no ACL on securities available for sale was recorded as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The unrealized losses are attributed to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The Company does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost.

Collateral dependent loans are individually evaluated. The Company measures the ACL on collateral dependent loans based upon the fair value of the collateral, as permitted by ASU 2016-13. Fair value of the collateral is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts. If the fair value of the collateral falls below the amortized cost of the loan, the shortfall is recognized in the ACLL. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no ACL is required. As of December 31, 2024, three of the Company’s individually evaluated loans were considered collateral dependent, and all are secured by real estate.

Eligible participants may contribute up to 100 % of their total annual compensation to the plan, subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. Employee contributions are matched by the employer based on a percentage of an employee’s total annual compensation contributed to the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company contributed $ 476 and $ 446 , respectively, included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company has a non-leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) which enables employees of NBI and its subsidiaries who have one year of service and who have attained the age of 21 prior to the plan’s January 1 and July 1 enrollment dates to own NBI common stock. Contributions to the ESOP, which are not mandatory, are determined annually by the NBI Board of Directors. Contribution expense amounted to $ 300 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $ 300 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Dividends on ESOP shares are charged to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2024, the number of shares held by the ESOP was 186,565 . All shares held by the ESOP are treated as outstanding in computing the Company’s basic net income per share. Upon reaching age 55 with 10 years of plan participation, a vested participant has the right to diversify 50 % of his or her allocated ESOP shares, and NBI or the ESOP, with the agreement of the trustee, is obligated to purchase those shares. The ESOP contains a put option which allows a withdrawing participant to require the Company or the ESOP, if the plan administrator agrees, to purchase his or her allocated shares if the shares are not readily tradable on an established market at the time of distribution. Salary Continuation Plan The Company has a non-qualified Salary Continuation Plan for certain key officers. The plan provides the participating officers with supplemental retirement income, payable for the greater of 15 years after retirement or the officer’s lifetime. The associated liability, included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 3,445 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 3,371 as of December 31, 2023. The expense accrued for the plans in 2024 and 2023, based on the present value of the retirement benefits, amounted to $ 358 and $ 317, respectively, included in salaries and employee benefits expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The plan is unfunded. However bank-owned life insurance has been acquired on the life of the key employees in amounts sufficient to discharge the obligations of the agreement. Defined Benefit Plan The Company's defined benefit pension plan covers substantially all employees. The plan benefit formula is based upon the length of service of retired employees and a percentage of qualified W-2 compensation during their final years of employment. Information pertaining to activity in the plan during the years indicated, is as follows: 66 Table of Contents December 31, 2024 2023 Change in benefit obligation Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 25,750 $ 23,128 Service cost (1) 1,042 813 Interest cost (2) 1,206 1,091 Actuarial (gain) loss (3) ( 842 ) 1,542 Benefits paid ( 1,096 ) ( 824 ) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 26,060 $ 25,750 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 32,509 $ 29,746 Actual return on plan assets 4,795 3,587 Employer contribution 3,000 – Benefits paid ( 1,096 ) ( 824 ) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 39,208 $ 32,509 Funded status at the end of the year $ 13,148 $ 6,759 Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Deferred tax liabilities $ ( 2,761 ) $ ( 1,419 ) Other assets 13,148 6,759 Total amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet $ 10,387 $ 5,340 Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net Net loss (gain) $ 415 $ ( 2,924 ) Deferred tax (liability) asset ( 87 ) 614 Amount recognized $ 328 $ ( 2,310 ) Accrued/Prepaid benefit cost, net Benefit obligation $ ( 26,060 ) $ ( 25,750 ) Fair value of assets 39,208 32,509 Unrecognized net actuarial (gain) loss ( 415 ) 2,924 Deferred tax liability ( 2,674 ) ( 2,033 ) Prepaid benefit cost included in other assets $ 10,059 $ 7,650 Components of net periodic benefit cost Service cost (1) $ 1,042 $ 813 Interest cost (2) 1,206 1,091 Expected return on plan assets (2) ( 2,431 ) ( 2,070 ) Recognized net actuarial loss (2) 134 69 Net periodic benefit cost $ ( 49 ) $ ( 97 ) Other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income Net gain $ ( 3,339 ) $ ( 44 ) Deferred income tax expense 701 9 Total recognized $ ( 2,638 ) $ ( 35 ) Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income $ ( 3,388 ) $ ( 141 ) Weighted average assumptions at end of the year Discount rate used for net periodic pension cost 4.75 % 5.00 % Discount rate used for disclosure 5.50 % 4.75 % Expected return on plan assets 7.50 % 7.50 % Rate of compensation increase 4.00 % 3.00 % (1) Cost is included in salaries and employee benefits expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation), for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience, which may not continue over the measurement period, but higher significance is placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions. Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, and solely for this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost). The Company’s Pension Administrative Committee Policy (the “Policy”) sets requirements for monitoring the investment management of its qualified plans. The Policy includes a statement of general investment principles and a listing of specific investment guidelines, to which the committee may make documented exceptions. The guidelines state that, unless otherwise indicated, all investments that are permitted under the prudent investor rule shall be permissible investments for the defined benefit pension plan. All plan assets are to be invested in marketable securities. Certain investments are prohibited, including commodities and future contracts, private placements, repurchase agreements, options and derivatives. The Policy establishes quality standards for fixed income investments and mutual funds included in the pension plan trust. The Policy also outlines diversification standards. The preferred target allocation for the assets of the defined benefit pension plan is 65 % in equity securities and 35 % in fixed income securities. Equity securities include investments in large-cap and mid-cap companies primarily located in the United States, although a small number of international large-cap companies are included. There are also investments in mutual funds holding the equities of large-cap and mid-cap U.S. companies. Fixed income securities include U.S. government agency securities and corporate bonds from companies representing diversified industries. There are no investments in hedge funds, private equity funds or real estate. The Company’s required minimum pension contribution for 2025 has not yet been determined. Fair value measurements of the pension plan’s assets as of the dates indicated are presented below: Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2024 Asset Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash $ 1,228 $ 1,228 $ - $ - Equity securities: U.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2021. Allocation of income tax expense between current and deferred portions for the period indicated is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Current $ 2,383 $ 2,234 Deferred tax (benefit) expense ( 884 ) 750 Total income tax expense $ 1,499 $ 2,984 The following reconciles the “expected” income tax expense, computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to income before tax expense, with the reported income tax expense as of the period indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Computed “expected” income tax expense $ 1,916 $ 3,922 Tax-exempt interest income ( 766 ) ( 705 ) Nondeductible interest expense 291 181 Other, net (1) 58 ( 414 ) Reported income tax expense $ 1,499 $ 2,984 (1) Other differences stem primarily from BOLI income, non-deductible merger expenses, amortization of municipal bond premiums and dividends paid to the Company's employee stock ownership program. 69 Table of Contents The components of net deferred tax assets, included in other assets as of the dates indicated, are as follows: December 31, 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for credit losses and deferred fees and costs $ 2,407 $ 2,155 Defined benefit pension plan - 614 Deferred compensation and other liabilities 1,171 889 Net unrealized loss on securities available for sale 16,506 16,629 Accrued expense 2 - Lease accounting 275 237 Unvested stock-based compensation 5 5 Fair value adjustments to acquired assets 1,562 - Net operating loss of FCB, acquired 130 - Total deferred tax assets $ 22,058 $ 20,529 Deferred tax liabilities: Defined benefit pension plan $ ( 87 ) - Fixed assets ( 857 ) ( 597 ) Goodwill ( 1,228 ) ( 1,228 ) Core deposit intangibles ( 391 ) - Defined benefit pension plan, prepaid portion ( 2,674 ) ( 2,034 ) Lease accounting ( 269 ) ( 230 ) Discount accretion of securities ( 175 ) ( 122 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 5,681 ) ( 4,211 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 16,377 $ 16,318 The Company determined that no valuation allowance for gross deferred tax assets was necessary as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 . Note 10: Restrictions on Dividends The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from its subsidiary bank. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, dividends received from the subsidiary bank were $ 20,000 and $ 12,000 , respectively. Substantially all of NBI’s retained earnings are undistributed earnings of its sole banking subsidiary, which are restricted by various regulations administered by federal bank regulatory agencies. Bank regulatory agencies restrict, unless prior approval is obtained, the total dividend payments of a bank in any calendar year to the bank’s retained net income of that year to date, as defined, combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years , less any dividends paid. During 2024 and 2023, the Bank applied to its primary regulator and was approved to dividend to NBI an amount in excess of the regulatory maximum. The purpose in the excess dividend was to provide cash to pay regular dividends and a special one-time dividend in 2023, and provide operating cash for NBI. As of December 31, 2024 , NBB has paid dividends in excess of the regulatory maximum in the amount of $ 5,743 . The Bank remains in a highly capitalized position and the Company intends to request approval for additional dividends in 2025. Note 11: Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement Under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, the Company is exempt from reporting consolidated regulatory capital ratios and from minimum regulatory capital requirements. NBB 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 NBI’s and NBB’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, NBB 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 classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The Bank is subject to the Basel III Capital Rules as applied by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Basel III Capital Rules require the Bank to comply with minimum capital ratios plus a “capital conservation buffer” designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The rules set forth minimum amounts and ratios for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined). 70 Table of Contents NBB’s CET1 capital includes common stock and related surplus and retained earnings. The Basel III Capital Rules provide an option to exclude components of accumulated other comprehensive loss from CET1 capital. NBB elected to exclude components of accumulated other comprehensive loss from CET1 capital. Tier 1 Capital includes CET1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital components. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, NBB did not hold any additional Tier 1 capital beyond CET1 capital. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital includes the allowance for credit losses. NBB’s risk-weighted assets were $ 1,232,207 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 1,082,158 as of December 31, 2023. Management believes, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, that NBB met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notifications from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized NBB as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios, as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since these notifications that management believes have changed NBB’s category. NBB’s capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated are presented in the following tables. December 31, 2024 Actual Minimum Capital Requirement (1) Minimum To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 198,841 16.14 % $ 129,382 10.50 % $ 123,221 10.00 % Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 188,329 15.28 % $ 104,738 8.50 % $ 98,577 8.00 % Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 188,329 15.28 % $ 86,254 7.00 % $ 80,093 6.50 % Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) $ 188,329 10.25 % $ 73,493 4.00 % $ 91,866 5.00 % December 31, 2023 Actual Minimum Capital Requirement (1) Minimum To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 195,782 18.09 % $ 113,627 10.50 % $ 108,216 10.00 % Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 186,429 17.23 % $ 91,983 8.50 % $ 86,573 8.00 % Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $ 186,429 17.23 % $ 75,751 7.00 % $ 70,340 6.50 % Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) $ 186,429 11.05 % $ 67,491 4.00 % $ 84,364 5.00 % (1) Except with regard to NBB’s Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio, the minimum capital requirement includes the Basel III Capital Rules’ capital conservation buffer (2.50%) which is added to the minimum capital requirements for capital adequacy purposes. NBB’s capital conservation buffer consists of additional CET1 above regulatory minimum requirement. Failure to maintain the prescribed levels would result in limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses to executives. 71 Table of Contents Note 12: Condensed Financial Statements of Parent Company Financial information pertaining only to NBI (Parent) as of the dates and for the years indicated, is as follows: Condensed Balance Sheets December 31, 2024 2023 Assets Cash due from subsidiaries $ 15,993 $ 11,010 Investments in subsidiaries 140,234 129,731 Refundable income taxes 473 – Other assets 760 655 Total assets $ 157,460 $ 141,396 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Other liabilities $ 1,051 $ 874 Stockholders’ equity 156,409 140,522 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 157,460 $ 141,396 Condensed Statements of Income Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Income Dividends from subsidiaries $ 20,000 $ 12,000 Gain on sale of private equity investment – 232 Total income 20,000 12,232 Expenses Other expenses 4,461 2,142 Income before income tax benefit and equity in undistributed net income of subsidiaries 15,539 10,090 Applicable income tax benefit 804 499 Income before (deficit) equity in undistributed net income of subsidiaries 16,343 10,589 (Deficit) equity in undistributed net income of subsidiaries ( 8,720 ) 5,102 Net income $ 7,623 $ 15,691 Condensed Statements of Cash Flows Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net income $ 7,623 $ 15,691 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Deficit (equity) in undistributed net income of subsidiaries 8,720 ( 5,102 ) Net change in refundable income taxes due from subsidiaries ( 473 ) 70 Net change in other assets 250 38 Net change in other liabilities 177 170 Net cash provided by operating activities 16,297 10,867 Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash paid in acquisition ( 2,050 ) – Net cash used in investing activities ( 2,050 ) – Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash dividends paid ( 9,264 ) ( 14,784 ) Net cash used in financing activities ( 9,264 ) ( 14,784 ) Net change in cash 4,983 ( 3,917 ) Cash due from subsidiaries at beginning of year 11,010 14,927 Cash due from subsidiaries at end of year $ 15,993 $ 11,010 72 Table of Contents Note 13: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Company is a party to 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, standby letters of credit and interest rate locks. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company may require collateral or other security to support the following financial instruments with credit risk. The following table presents the unfunded balance of financial instruments that pose credit risk as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2024 2023 Commitments to extend credit $ 248,661 $ 220,656 Standby letters of credit 21,081 20,711 Mortgage loans sold with potential recourse 10,303 7,325 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit. Some of these commitments are uncollateralized and do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The Company originates mortgage loans for sale to secondary market investors subject to contractually specified and limited recourse provisions. In 2024, the Company originated $ 10,516 and sold $ 10,471 mortgage loans to investors, compared with $ 7,624 originated and $ 7,325 sold in 2023 . Every contract with each investor contains certain recourse language. In general, the Company may be required to repurchase a previously sold mortgage loan if there is major noncompliance with defined loan origination or documentation standards, including fraud, negligence or material misstatement in the loan documents. Repurchase may also be required if necessary governmental loan guarantees are canceled or never issued, or if an investor is forced to buy back a loan after it has been resold as a part of a loan pool. In addition, the Company may have an obligation to repurchase a loan if the mortgagor defaults early in the loan term. This potential default period is approximately 12 months after sale of a loan to the investor. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans of $ 140 and loans held for sale of $ 619 . Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The Company maintains cash accounts in other commercial banks. The Company had $ 2,523 in deposits with correspondent institutions as of December 31, 2024 that were not insured by the FDIC. Note 14: Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company does a general banking business, serving the commercial and personal banking needs of its customers. NBB’s primary service area is defined as the Virginia counties of Albemarle, Augusta, Bedford, Bland, Botetourt, Buchanan, Carroll, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Grayson, Montgomery, Pulaski, Roanoke, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Russell, Tazewell, Smyth, Washington, Wythe, and the cities of Bristol, Buena Vista, Charlottesville, Galax, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Lynchburg, Radford, Roanoke, Salem, Staunton, and Waynesboro. The service area also includes the West Virginia counties of Mercer, Monroe and McDowell and the Tennessee city of Bristol and counties of Sullivan and Washington. Substantially all of NBB’s loans are made in its primary service area. Additionally, the Company occasionally participates in loans in nearby higher growth metropolitan areas. Real estate mortgage loans secured by property outside NBB’s primary service area are not considered an out of market exception when the customer is located within the primary service area. All other loans that are out of the primary service area and do not also have collateral within the primary service area require policy exception approval. The ultimate collectability of NBB’s loan portfolio and the ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, if needed, is influenced by the economic conditions of the market area. The Company’s operating results are therefore closely correlated with the economic trends within this area. Loans secured by residential real estate were $ 307,855 , or approximately 31 % of the portfolio, and $ 241,564 , or 28 % of the portfolio as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Commercial real estate as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 represented approximately 73 Table of Contents 48 % and 49 % , respectively, of the loan portfolio, at $ 478,078 and $ 419,130 , respectively. Included in commercial real estate are loans for college housing and professional office buildings that comprised $ 191,026 and $ 167,794 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively, corresponding to approximately 19 % of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2024 and 20 % of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023. Professional office buildings house a variety of businesses, including medical, dental, engineering, attorneys, and higher education. Many of the properties are mixed-use and include residential and retail space along with professional businesses. The Company has established operating policies relating to the credit process and collateral in loan originations. Loans to purchase real and personal property are generally collateralized by the related property and with loan amounts established based on certain percentage limitations of the property’s total stated or appraised value. Credit approval is primarily a function of cash flow, collateral and the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the individual borrower or project based on available financial information. Management considers the concentration of credit risk to be minimal. Note 15: Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of the unobservable inputs. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are: Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs including: • quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, • quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, • inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and • model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. Level 3 – Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. Fair value is best determined by quoted market prices. However, in cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Accounting guidance for fair value excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from disclosure requirements. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following tables. The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated: Fair Value Measurement Using December 31, 2024 Balance Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 311,124 $ - $ 311,124 $ - States and political subdivisions 145,734 - 145,734 - Mortgage-backed securities 138,298 - 138,298 - Corporate debt securities 5,743 - 5,743 - U.S. treasury 999 - 999 - Total securities available for sale $ 601,898 $ - $ 601,898 $ - 74 Table of Contents Fair Value Measurement Using December 31, 2023 Balance Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 311,844 $ - $ 311,844 $ - States and political subdivisions 149,893 - 149,893 - Mortgage-backed securities 150,151 - 150,151 - Corporate debt securities 5,750 - 5,750 - U.S. treasury 963 - 963 - Total securities available for sale $ 618,601 $ - $ 618,601 $ - The Company’s securities portfolio is valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company relies on an independent third party vendor to provide market valuations. The inputs used to determine value include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. The third party vendor also monitors market indicators, industry activity and economic events as part of the valuation process. Central to the final valuation is the assumption that the indicators used are representative of the fair value of securities held within the Company’s portfolio. Level 2 inputs are subject to a certain degree of uncertainty and changes in these assumptions or methodologies in the future, if any, may impact securities fair value, deferred tax assets or liabilities, or expense. Interest Rate Loan Contracts and Forward Sale Commitment The Company originates consumer real estate loans which it intends to sell to a correspondent lender. Interest rate loan contracts and forward sale commitments result from originating loans held for sale and are derivatives reported at fair value. The Company enters interest rate lock commitments with customers who apply for a loan which the Company intends to sell to a correspondent lender. The interest rate loan contract ends when the loan closes or the customer withdraws their application. Fair value of the interest rate loan contract is based upon the correspondent lender’s pricing quotes at the report date. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower. At the time the Company enters into an interest rate loan contract with a customer, it also enters into a best efforts forward sales commitment with the correspondent lender. If the loan is closed and funded, the best efforts commitment converts to a mandatory forward sales commitment. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a Level 3 input. The Company measures and reports best efforts commitments at fair value. Interest rate loan contracts and forward sale commitments are valued based on quotes from the correspondent lender at the reporting date. Pricing changes daily and if a loan has not been sold to the correspondent by the next reporting date, the fair value may be different from that reported currently. Changes in fair value measurement impacts net income. The Company had one rate lock commitment as of December 31, 2024, resulting in a liability for the interest rate loan contract and an asset for the forward sales commitment, and three funded loans resulting in a forward sales commitment. The Company had one rate lock commitment as of December 31, 2023, resulting in an asset for the interest rate loan contract and a liability for the forward sales commitment, and one funded loan resulting in a liability for the forward sales commitment. The following tables present information on the interest rate loan contracts and forward sale commitments as of the date indicated: Fair Value Measurement Using December 31, 2024 Balance (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Forward sale commitment $ 1 $ - $ - $ 1 Interest rate loan contract $ ( 1 ) $ - $ - $ ( 1 ) December 31, 2024 Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range (Weighted Average) Interest rate loan contract Market approach Pull-through rate 96.00 % (1)(2) Forward sale commitment Market approach Pull-through rate 96.00 % (1)(2) Interest rate loan contract Market approach Current reference price 100.44 % (1)(2) Forward sale commitment Market approach Current reference price 100.44 % (1)(2) (1) All contracts are valued using the same pull-through rate (2) Comprised of only one loan.

(3) Current reference prices were weighted by the relative amount of the loan Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis 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 assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated financial statements: Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price 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). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale as of December 31, 2024. Collateral Dependent Loans Collateral dependent loans are measured on a non-recurring basis for the ACL. For loans secured by real estate, fair value of collateral is determined by the “as-is” value of appraisals or third party evaluations that are less than 24 months of age. Appraisals are prepared by independent, licensed appraisers. Appraisals are based upon observable market data analyzed through an income or sales valuation approach. Valuation falls within Level 2 categorization. The Company may further discount appraisals for marketing strategies, which results in Level 3 categorization. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal (Level 2) if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements (Level 3) if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). As of December 31, 2024 , three commercial real estate loans totaling $ 9,259 were measured under the fair value of collateral method using third party appraisals (Level 2). None of the measurements resulted in a specific allocation. As of December 31, 2023 , the Company evaluated three collateral dependent loans. None of the loans had a specific allocation. 76 Table of Contents Fair Value Summary The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Testing for 2024 and 2023 did no t indicate impairment. The aggregate amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 237 . As of December 31, 2024, estimated future remaining amortization of the core deposit intangible within the years ending December 31, is as follows: Amortization Expense 2025 $ 373 2026 331 2027 290 2028 248 2029 207 Thereafter 414 Total amortizing core deposit intangible $ 1,863 78 Table of Contents Note 18: Revenue Recognition Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, credit and debit card fees, trust income, and annuity and insurance commissions are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are outside the scope of the guidance. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed below. Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposit accounts consist of monthly service fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees, ATM fees, wire transfer fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Wire transfer fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees and other deposit account related fees are transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at the time of the transaction. Other Service Charges and Fees Other service charges include safe deposit box rental fees, check ordering charges, and other service charges. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. Check ordering charges are transactional based, and therefore the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Credit and Debit Card Fees Credit and debit card fees are primarily comprised of interchange fee income and merchant services income. Interchange fees are earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa and MasterCard. Merchant services income mainly represents commission fees based upon merchant processing volume. The Company’s performance obligation for interchange fee income and merchant services income are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. In compliance with Topic 606, credit and debit card fee income is presented net of associated expense. Trust Income Trust income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and estates 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 the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Estate management fees are based upon the size of the estate. A partial fee is recognized half-way through the estate administration and the remainder of the fee is recognized when remaining assets are distributed and the estate is closed. Insurance and Investment Insurance income primarily consists of commissions received on insurance product sales. The Company acts as an intermediary between the Company’s customer and the insurance carrier. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy. Shortly after the insurance policy is issued, the carrier remits the commission payment to the Company, and the Company recognizes the revenue. Investment income consists of recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and other investments are recognized on trade date, which is when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company also receives periodic service fees (i.e., trailers) from mutual fund companies typically based on a percentage of net asset value. Trailer revenue is recorded over time, usually monthly or quarterly, as net asset value is determined. 79 Table of Contents OREO Gains and Losses The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Year Ended December 31, Noninterest Income 2024 2023 In-scope of Topic 606: Service charges on deposit accounts $ 2,898 $ 2,518 Other service charges and fees 229 297 Credit and debit card fees, net 1,448 1,678 Trust income 2,177 1,901 Insurance and Investment (1) 722 677 Gain on sale of OREO (2) - 1 Noninterest Income (in-scope of Topic 606) $ 7,474 $ 7,072 Noninterest Income (out-of-scope of Topic 606) 1,486 2,287 Total noninterest income $ 8,960 $ 9,359 (1) Included within other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. (2) Included within net costs of other real estate owned on the Consolidated Statements of Income . Note 19: Leases The Company’s leases are recorded under ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company categorizes leases as short-term, operating or finance leases. Leases with terms of 12 months or less are designated as short-term and are not capitalized. Operating and finance leases are capitalized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets, included in other 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. Lease liabilities, included in other 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. The Company does not separate non-lease components from lease components within a single contract. Counterparties for the Company’s lease contracts are external to the Company and not related parties. On June 1, 2024, the Company’s acquisition of FCB added two long-term branch leases. At the acquisition date, the leases were remeasured using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and remaining lease terms, resulting in an increase of $ 548 to the right of use asset and the lease liability. Lease payments Short-term lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred. Operating and finance lease payments may be fixed for the term of the lease or variable. If the escalation factor for a variable lease payment is known, such as a specified percentage increase per year or a stated increase at a specified time, the variable payment is included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. If the variable payment is based upon an unknown escalator, such as the consumer price index at a future date, the increase is not included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. Options to Extend, Residual Value Guarantees, and Restrictions and Covenants Certain of the Company’s operating leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The 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. The following tables present information about leases as of the dates and for the dates and periods indicated: 80 Table of Contents December 31, 2024 2023 Lease liability $ 1,523 $ 1,127 Right-of-use asset $ 1,305 $ 1,096 Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) 4.76 4.39 Weighted average discount rate 3.87 % 3.29 % For the Year Ended December 31, Lease Expense 2024 2023 Operating lease expense $ 423 $ 364 Short-term lease expense 21 20 Total lease expense $ 444 $ 384 Cash paid for amounts included in lease liabilities $ 442 $ 382 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities commencing during the period $ 548 $ - The following table presents a maturity schedule of undiscounted cash flows that contribute to the lease liability as of the dates indicated: Undiscounted Cash Flow for the Period As of December 31, 2024 Twelve months ending December 31, 2025 $ 368 Twelve months ending December 31, 2026 342 Twelve months ending December 31, 2027 302 Twelve months ending December 31, 2028 304 Twelve months ending December 31, 2029 130 Thereafter 210 Total undiscounted cash flows $ 1,656 Less: discount ( 133 ) Lease liability $ 1,523 Note 20: Stock Based Compensation The Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) was approved by shareholders at the annual shareholder’s meeting on May 9, 2023. The Plan provides for the grant of various forms of stock-based compensation awards that may be settled in, or based upon the value of, the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is 120,000 shares. The restricted stock has voting rights and rights to dividends, which are paid upon vest date. For further information on the Plan, refer to the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023 and the Company’s S-8 filed with the SEC on June 7, 2023. Restricted Stock Awards Under the Plan, part of the 2023 and 2024 semi-annual retainer for non-employee directors was paid in restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested RSAs under the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024 follows: Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2024 4,095 $ 30.73 Granted 5,194 30.93 Vested and released ( 3,868 ) 30.73 Forfeited ( 460 ) 30.38 Nonvested at December 31, 2024 4,961 $ 30.98 81 Table of Contents The RSAs are valued at the closing stock price on the grant date and expensed over the one-year vesting period. Stock based compensation expense was $ 128 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $ 42 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 , expense of $ 102 related to the non-vested RSAs is expected to be recognized over the coming 11 months. Note 21: Earnings Per Share The factors used in the earnings per share computation for the periods indicated are presented below: For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Net Income (Numerator) Common Shares Weighted Average Outstanding (Denominator) Per Share Net Income (Numerator) Common Shares Weighted Average Outstanding (Denominator) Per Share Basic net income per common share $ 7,623 6,161,428 $ 1.24 $ 15,691 5,889,687 $ 2.66 Dilutive shares for restricted stock awards: 2,182 266 Diluted net income per common share $ 7,623 6,163,610 $ 1.24 $ 15,691 5,889,953 $ 2.66 RSA grants are disregarded in the computation of diluted earnings per share if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive RSAs for the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 . Note 22: Business Combination On June 1, 2024, the Company acquired 100 % of FCB, a Virginia chartered commercial bank, in accordance with the definitive merger agreement that was entered into on January 23, 2024, by and among the Company, the Bank and FCB. The acquisition enabled to Company to expand its branch footprint and improve market penetration in attractive banking markets, increase earnings and realize cost synergies. Immediately following the acquisition, FCB was merged with and into NBB. Upon completion of the merger, former FCB shareholders received a combination of the Company's common stock and cash. The acquisition of FCB was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The fair values of assets and liabilities were preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after acquisition date as additional information relative to the acquisition date fair values becomes available. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets was recorded as provisional goodwill and represents the benefit from the transaction that is not otherwise quantifiable, including expected management and operational synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. 82 Table of Contents The following table presents the consideration paid, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting goodwill. June 1, 2024 As Recorded by FCB Estimated Fair Value Adjustments Estimated Fair Values as Recorded by NBI Purchase Price Consideration: Stock consideration (1) $ 14,299 Cash consideration (2) 2,050 Total purchase price consideration $ 16,349 Identifiable assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,993 $ ( 59 ) $ 8,934 Securities 9,325 ( 5 ) 9,320 Loans, gross, purchased performing 115,589 ( 7,720 ) 107,869 Loans, gross, purchased credit deteriorated 11,157 ( 822 ) 10,335 Loans in process 539 – 539 Deferred fees and costs on loans 34 ( 34 ) – Allowance for credit losses on loans ( 881 ) 881 – Premises and equipment 3,003 449 3,452 Core deposit intangible – 2,100 2,100 Other assets 4,998 966 5,964 Total identifiable assets acquired $ 152,757 $ ( 4,244 ) $ 148,513 Identifiable Liabilities Deposits $ 130,323 $ ( 606 ) $ 129,717 Borrowings 5,250 ( 20 ) 5,230 Other liabilities 1,960 131 2,091 Total identifiable liabilities assumed $ 137,533 $ ( 495 ) $ 137,038 Provisional fair value of net assets acquired $ 11,475 Provisional goodwill $ 4,874 (1) The Company issued 464,855 shares of its common stock valued at $ 30.76 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 31, 2024, the last day of trading prior to the consummation of the acquisition. (2) Cash consideration was paid for shareholder elections, fractional shares and to settle outstanding vested stock options. The merger agreement provided for up to 10 % of consideration to be paid in cash of $ 14.48 per FCB common share, at the shareholders’ election. Payments for shareholder elections and fractional shares totaled $ 1,769 . Outstanding and vested options were settled at the difference between $ 14.48 and the strike price and totaled $ 281 . Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition of FCB. The following is a brief description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company utilized a valuation specialist to assist with the determination of fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Cash and equivalents Included in cash and equivalents are an investment in time deposits of other financial institutions, valued at the present value of the expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for instruments with similar terms. Securities The estimated fair value of the acquired portfolio of debt securities was based on quoted market prices. All of the acquired portfolio was sold upon completion of the acquisition. 83 Table of Contents Loans The fair valuation process identified loans with credit risk indicators that qualified for PCD status. PCD and non-PCD loans were then evaluated for credit risk and other fair value indicators. Credit risk was quantified using a PD/LGD methodology from a market participant perspective and applied to each loan’s outstanding principal balance. PD/LGD rates were tailored to PCD or non-PCD status. Other fair value indicators were quantified using a discounted cash flow methodology, with discounts applied for current market rates, credit risk and liquidity. Cash flows were generated based upon the loans’ underlying characteristics and estimated prepayment speeds. The following table provides information on PCD and non-PCD loans as of the acquisition date: June 1, 2024 PCD Loans Non-PCD Loans Number of loans 46 498 FCB recorded value $ 11,157 $ 115,589 Discount for credit risk ( 295 ) ( 498 ) Discount for non-credit factors ( 527 ) ( 7,222 ) Fair value $ 10,335 $ 107,869 Premises and equipment The fair value of premises acquired was based on a recent third-party appraisal. Acquired equipment was based on the remaining net book value of FCB, which approximated fair value. Core Deposit Intangible The core deposit intangible represents the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in this transaction. Core deposit relationships provide a stable source of funds for lending and contribute to profitability. The core deposit intangible was valued using an income approach focused on cost savings, which recognizes the cost savings represented by the expense of maintaining the core deposit base versus the cost of an alternative funding source. The valuation incorporates assumptions related to account retention, discount rates, deposit interest rates, deposit maintenance costs and alternative funding rates. Leases: right of use asset, lease liability and fair value Right of use assets (included in other assets) and lease liabilities (included in other liabilities) for branch locations were measured at the acquisition date. The fair value of leases was determined by applying a discounted cash flow methodology discounted by current lease rates within the appropriate market. Deposits Deposits were valued using methods appropriate to their characteristics. The fair value of noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market and savings deposit accounts were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Time deposits were valued at the present value of the expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for instruments with comparable terms. Borrowings The estimated fair value of borrowings was determined by obtaining payoff quotes from the lender. Borrowings were paid off upon completion of the acquisition. Deferred Tax Asset Application of fair value measurements resulted in an increase to the deferred tax asset, included in other assets. 84 Table of Contents Item 9.
