Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
Note 1— Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Banking Activities
John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Reston, Virginia, became the registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 for its wholly-owned subsidiary, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank”), on March 1, 2017. This reorganization was completed through a one-for-one share exchange in which the Bank’s shareholders received one share of voting common stock of the Company in exchange for each share of the Bank’s voting common stock. The Company was formed on April 21, 2016 under the laws of the Commonwealth Virginia. The Bank was formed on April 5, 2005 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and was chartered as a bank on February 9, 2006, by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to the rules and regulations of the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank opened for business on April 17, 2006 and provides banking services to its customers primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect practices of the banking industry. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. In preparing 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 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 loan credit losses.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. All amounts and disclosures included in this quarterly report as of December 31, 2022, were derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Certain items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are contained in the
8
Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2022, except for the following:
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
ASU 2016-13: On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The CECL methodology requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses.
In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. At adoption, the after tax impact to retained earnings was a reduction of $(2.3) million based on our evaluation as of that date. This adjustment consisted of increases to the allowance for credit losses on loans, as well as the Company's allowance for unfunded loan commitments.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity upon adoption. Refer to Note 2 – Investment Securities for further discussion.
The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.
ASU 2022-02: On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require that the Company disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The Company adopted the standard prospectively and it did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Securities
The Company estimates expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on an individual basis based on a Probability of Default/Loss Given Default (“PD/LGD”) methodology primarily using security-level credit ratings. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio are security type and credit rating, which are influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, among other factors. The Company’s held-to-maturity securities with credit risk are municipal bonds, which had a credit rating of AA or better as of March 31, 2023. All other held-to-maturity securities are covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies.
Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2023 or upon adoption of ASC 326. Refer to Note 2 – Investment Securities for further discussion.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Securities
Management evaluates all available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.
If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specific to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any deficiency is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available-for-sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At March 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available-for-sale portfolio. Refer to Note 2 – Investment Securities for further discussion.
Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities totaled $891 thousand at March 31, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for loan credit losses represents an amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb the lifetime expected losses that may be sustained on outstanding loans at the balance sheet date based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and prepayment experience. The allowance for loan credit losses is measured and recorded upon the initial recognition of a financial asset. The allowance for loan credit losses is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries of previous losses, and is increased or decreased by a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses, which is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company is utilizing a discounted cash flow model to estimate its current expected credit losses. For the purposes of calculating its quantitative reserves, the Company has segmented its loan portfolio based on loans which share similar risk characteristics. Within the quantitative portion of the calculation, the Company utilizes at least one or a combination of loss drivers, which may include unemployment rates, home price indices, and/or gross domestic product (“GDP”), to adjust its loss rates over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year. A straight-line reversion technique is used for the following four quarters, at which time the Company reverts to historical averages. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already included within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Company may consider qualitative factors, including but not limited to: variability in the economic forecast, changes in volume and severity of adversely classified loans, changes in concentrations of credit, changes in the nature and volume of the loan segments, factors related to credit administration, and other idiosyncratic risks not embedded in the data used in the model.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk and loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.
The adoption of CECL did not result in a significant change to any other credit risk management and monitoring processes, including identification of past due or delinquent borrowers, nonaccrual practices or charge-off policy.
10
Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the CECL model using the same methodology as the loan portfolio, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis in its determination of the allowance for credit losses for both loans and held-to-maturity securities, as well as elected the policy to write-off accrued interest receivable directly through the reversal of interest income. Accrued interest receivable totaled $4.2 million on loans and $244 thousand on held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2023, and is included in “Accrued Interest Receivable” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold available-for-sale securities with a total par value of $12.0 million resulting in a gross pre-tax loss of $202 thousand. The Company did not sell or recognize any
for any securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022.Available-for-sale securities having a market value of $78.4 million and $83.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law. These securities had an amortized cost of $84.9 million and $91.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The following tables summarize the fair value of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized losses. Management uses the valuations as of month-end in determining when securities are

The Company had 207 and 98 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company has evaluated available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer(s) to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment, (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis. As such, there was no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2023.
The table below summarizes, by major security type, the contractual maturities of our available-for-sale investment securities as of March 31, 2023. Issuers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations and as such, the expected maturities of our securities are likely to differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below.

The Company evaluates the credit risk of its held-to-maturity securities on at least a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on an individual basis based on a PD/LGD methodology primarily using security-level credit ratings. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The Company’s held-to-maturity securities with credit risk were comprised of municipal bonds and had a crediting rating of AA or better as of March 31, 2023. All other held-to-maturity securities are covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies. The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2023 or upon adoption of ASC 326.

Impaired loans
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and accruing TDRs. When determining if the Company would be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the Company considered the borrower’s capacity to pay, which included such factors as the borrower’s current financial statements, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of repayment, such as guarantor support and collateral value.
The following tables present a summary of impaired loans and the related allowance as of December 31, 2022.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company assesses credit quality indicators based on internal risk rating of loans. Each loan is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans. The indicators represent the rating for loans as of the date presented is based on the most recent credit review performed. Internal risk rating definitions are:
Pass: These include satisfactory loans that have acceptable levels of risk.
Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant further adverse classification.
Substandard: A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be received in the future.
The Company has a portfolio of smaller homogenous loans that are not individually risk rated and include residential permanent and construction mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and consumer installment loans. For these loans, management uses payment status
19
as the primary credit quality indicator. The payment status of these loans is then translated into an internal risk rating. The following table summarizes the translation of past due status to risk rating for loans that are not individually risk rated.
Internal | ||
Days Past Due | Risk Rating | |
0 - 29 days | Pass | |
30-59 days | Special Mention | |
60-89 days | Substandard | |
90-119 days | Doubtful | |

The allowance for loan credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for loan credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. As part of the Company’s loan modification program to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may provide concessions to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Company had a recorded investment in TDRs of $418 thousand as of December 31, 2022, all of which were in compliance with their modified terms at December 31, 2022. There were no loans modified in TDRs that subsequently defaulted within 12 months of their modification date during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, none of the Bank’s TDRs required a specific reserve. As of December 31, 2022, there were no additional commitments to disburse funds on loans classified TDRs. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs.
Unfunded Commitments
The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $1.0 million and $303 thousand at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 5— Derivatives
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) with commercial loan customers to provide a facility for customers to manage their interest rate risk. These swaps are matched in exact offsetting terms with swaps that the Company enters into with an independent third party. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments.

(1) Overdraft demand deposits reclassified to loans totaled $5 thousand and $1 thousand at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2) | The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit with a minimum denomination of $250,000 was $341.8 million and $318.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. |
The Company obtains certain deposits through the efforts of third-party brokers. Brokered deposits totaled $378.8 million and $352.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were included primarily in time deposits on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reciprocal IntraFi certificates of deposit totaled $53.2 million and $25.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Reciprocal IntraFi demand and money market deposits totaled $215.1 million and $197.3 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
At March 31, 2023, there were no depositors that represented 5% or more of the Company’s total deposits.
22
The Company completed a private placement of a $25.0 million fixed-to-floating subordinated note on June 15, 2022 (“2022 note”). Subject to limited exceptions permitting earlier redemption, the note is callable, in whole or in part, commencing July 1, 2027. Unless redeemed earlier, the note will mature on July 1, 2032. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% to but excluding July 1, 2027, and will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 245 basis points thereafter. The note is carried at its principal amount, less unamortized issuance costs.
The Company from time to time uses FHLB advances as a source of funding and to manage interest rate risk. FHLB advances are secured by a blanket floating lien on all real estate mortgage loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential, multi-family and commercial real estate properties. At March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding FHLB advances. Available borrowing capacity based on collateral value amounted to approximately $423.1 million as of March 31, 2023.
The Company also has the capacity to borrow up to $28.0 million at the Federal Reserve discount window of which $0 had been drawn upon at March 31, 2023. The Bank had loans pledged at the Federal Reserve discount window totaling $32.7 million as of March 31, 2023.
On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve made available the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), which enhances the ability of banks to borrow greater amounts against certain high-quality, unencumbered investments. To date, while the Company has been approved to participate in the BTFP, we have chosen not to do so. If the Company were to avail itself of the BTFP, we estimate a borrowing capacity of up to $341.2 million based on the par value of eligible investments as of March 31, 2023.
The Company also has federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks available for overnight borrowing of $110.0 million, of which $0 had been drawn upon at March 31, 2023.

Note 7— Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is 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 financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. 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 and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional 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. Refer to Note 4 – Allowance for Loan Credit Losses for further discussion regarding the Company’s estimate of lifetime credit losses for off-balance sheet exposure.
The following table summarizes the contract or notional amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

23
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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, and other real estate properties.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Note 8— Fair Value Measurements
Determination of Fair Value
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The fair value measurements and disclosures topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.
24
Securities Available-for-sale and Equity Securities
Securities available-for-sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values 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 (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).
The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its portfolio of debt securities. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is ICE Data Services, which evaluates securities based on market data. ICE Data Services utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates current market interest rates. Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the more mature Level 1 markets. These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Under certain circumstances, the Company makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
26
Collateral Dependent Loans
In accordance with ASC 326, loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk and loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The measurement of loss associated with collateral dependent loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, or if an appraisal of the property is more than one-year-old and not solely based on observable market comparables, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had no collateral dependent loans with a recorded reserve as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)
OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value using observable market data, the Company records the property as Level 2. When an appraised value using observable market data is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the property as Level 3 valuation. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. The Company had no OREO as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Note 9— Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share, which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of voting common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

Note 10— Stock Based Compensation Plan
The Company’s share-based compensation plan, approved by stockholders and effective April 28, 2015 (the “2015 Plan”), provides for the grant of share-based awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-incentive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors and employees. The Company has reserved 976,211 shares of voting common stock for issuance under the 2015 Plan, which will remain in effect until April 28, 2025. The Company’s Compensation Committee administers the 2015 Plan and has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award thereunder. As of March 31, 2023, 301,422 shares are available to grant in future periods under the 2015 Plan.
The Company’s previous share-based compensation plan, the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”), provided for the grant of share-based awards in the form of incentive stock options and non-incentive stock options to directors and employees. As amended, the 2006 Plan provided for awards of up to 1,490,700 shares. In April 2015, the 2006 Plan was terminated and replaced with the 2015 Plan. Options outstanding prior to April 28, 2015 were granted under the 2006 Plan and shall be subject to the provisions of the 2006 Plan.
To date, options granted under the 2015 Plan typically vest over five years and expire 10 years from the grant date. Under the 2015 Plan, the exercise price of options may not be less than 100% of fair market value at the grant date with a maximum term for an option award of 10 years from the date of grant.

The fair value of the stock was determined using the closing stock price on the day of grant. The restricted stock grants vest over
to five years. The Company did not award restricted stock grants during the three months ended March 31, 2022.Share-based compensation expense applicable to the Company’s share-based compensation plans for restricted stock grants was $197 thousand and $139 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The total fair value of the shares, which vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, was $139 thousand and $306 thousand, respectively.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock grants amounted to $895 thousand as of March 31, 2023. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
Note 11— Regulatory Capital
The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank is subject to capital adequacy standards adopted by the Federal Reserve, including the capital rules that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets.
In addition to the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy purposes, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer above those minimums in the form of common equity. The capital conservation buffer, which was phased in ratably over a four year period beginning January 1, 2016, is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and discretionary compensation paid to certain officers, based on the amount of the shortfall. The capital conservation buffer was 2.5% at March 31, 2023, and is applicable for the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios. The Bank’s institution specific capital conservation buffer above the required minimums was 8.1% at March 31, 2023.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Federal Reserve and FDIC have adopted rules to identify which credit loss allowances under the CECL model are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital and to provide banking organizations the option to phase in over a three-year transition period ending January 1, 2026 the day-one impact on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the CECL model. The Company implemented the CECL model on January 1, 2023 and elected to apply the provisions of the CECL deferral transition in the determination of its risk based capital ratios. The impact of the application of this deferral transition on the ratios was not significant.
As of March 31, 2023, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Reserve Bank”) categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Note 12— Revenue
Certain of the Company’s non-interest revenue streams are derived from short-term contacts associated with services provided to deposit account holders as well as other ancillary services, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue Recognition. For most of these revenue streams, the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts that generate non-interest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.
The following table shows the components of non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

March 31, 2022. Includes other operating loss consisting of a fair value adjustment of $(117) thousand outside the scope of ASC 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of overdrawn account fees and account service fees. Overdrawn account fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Account service fees consist primarily of account analysis and other maintenance fees and are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Other service charges and fees
Other service charges and fees are primarily comprised of interchange income and other charges and fees. Interchange income is earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. Other charges and fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks, and other transaction based services. The Company’s performance obligation for these charges and fees 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.
Net gains (losses) on premises and equipment
The Company records a gain or loss on the disposition of premises and equipment when control of the property transfers or is involuntarily converted to a monetary asset (e.g., insurance proceeds). This income is reflected in other operating income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Insurance commissions
The Company performs the function of an insurance intermediary by introducing the policyholder and insurer and is compensated in the form of a commission for placement of an insurance policy based on a percentage of premiums issued and maintained during the period. Revenue is recognized when received.

Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Reston, Virginia primarily serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The material business operations of our organization are performed through the Bank. As a result, the discussion and analysis within this section primarily relate to activities conducted at the Bank.
As with most community banks, the Bank derives a significant portion of its income from interest received on loans and investments. The Bank’s primary source of funding is deposits, both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing. To account for credit risk inherent in all loans, the Bank maintains an allowance for loan credit losses to absorb lifetime losses on existing loans. The Bank establishes and
36
maintains this allowance by recording a provision for credit losses against earnings. In addition to net interest income, the Bank also generates income through service charges on deposits, insurance commission income, income from bank owned life insurance, and merchant services fee income. In order to maintain its operations, the Bank incurs various operating expenses which are further described within the “Results of Operations” later in this section.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total consolidated assets of $2.35 billion, total loans net of unearned income of $1.77 billion, total deposits of $2.09 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $220.8 million.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022
Overview
Net income decreased $1.4 million or 17.9% to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.11 or 20.0% to $0.44 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.55 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $3.5 million or 19.2% compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increase in the costs of interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the increase in yield on interest-earning assets.
The Company recorded a $774 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 compared to no provision for the first quarter of 2022. Additional discussion of the provision for credit losses is included below under the heading Provision for Credit Losses.
Non-interest income increased $152 thousand or 36.7% during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $206 thousand as a result of mark-to-market adjustments on investments related to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company also recognized customer interest rate swap fee income of $91 thousand, and increases in interchange and other fees as a result of higher customer activity and penalty fee income earned on the early withdrawal of certificates of deposit, respectively. These increases were partially offset by losses of $202 thousand recognized on the sale of investment securities with a par value of $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2023.
Non-interest expense decreased $1.0 million or 11.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits expense, professional fees, occupancy expense of premises, and furniture and equipment expense. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation accruals when compared to the prior year quarter. Incentive compensation accruals can fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter, based upon the Company’s financial performance and conditions measured against, among other evaluation criteria, our strategic plan and budget. At the end of each year, the ultimate determination of the incentive compensation is approved by the Board of Directors. The decrease in professional fees was due to non-recurring professional fees incurred in the first quarter of 2022 as part of our registration with the SEC and timing of projects. The decrease in occupancy expense of premises was due to a decrease in office rent as a result of the renegotiation of certain leases. The decrease in furniture and equipment expense was due to lower depreciation expense on fixed assets. The decrease in non-interest expense was partially offset by increases in FDIC insurance expense, franchise tax expense, and director compensation expense. The increase in FDIC insurance expense was attributable to the FDIC increasing the base assessment rate for all insured depository institutions. The increase in franchise tax expense was due to an increase in the Bank’s equity as that is the basis the Commonwealth of Virginia uses to assess taxes on banking institutions. The increase in director compensation expense was due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards as a result of the death of a director during the first quarter of 2023.
The ROAA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was 1.10% and 1.40%, respectively. The ROAE for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was 11.83% and 14.76%, respectively.

Net interest margin as presented above is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is a financial measure that the Company believes provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain securities and loans, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The following table, “Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income,” reconciles net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income, which is a non-GAAP measure.

(1) | Tax benefit was calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. |
Net interest income decreased $3.4 million or 19.1% on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the increase in the costs of interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the increase in yield on interest-earning assets.
On a fully tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin was 2.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset the increase in yields on loans, investments, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.25% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 0.49% for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a 1.81% increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits as a result of the repricing of the Company’s time deposits coupled with an increase in rates offered on deposit accounts subsequent to March 31, 2022 as a result of higher market interest rates.
The loan portfolio’s yield for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 4.69% compared to 4.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of 0.13% was primarily attributable to an increase in yield on the Company’s variable rate loans as a result of an increase in interest rates subsequent to March 31, 2022 coupled with a higher weighted average yield on loans originated since the first quarter of 2022.
The investment securities portfolio’s yield for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 2.06% compared to 1.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of 0.47% was primarily due to higher yields on investment securities purchased subsequent to March 31, 2022.
The yield on interest-bearing deposits due from banks for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 4.66% compared to 0.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of 4.46% was primarily due to a higher federal funds rate during the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period of 2022.
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated to volume.

Interest Income
Interest income increased by $3.7 million or 18.8% to $23.5 million on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven by both an increase in volume and rates on interest-earning assets. The increase in volume of average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to the Company’s loan and investment portfolio. The increase in rate on interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to interest-bearing deposits due from banks, as well as the Company’s loan and investment portfolios.
Fully tax-equivalent interest income on loans increased by approximately $2.3 million as a result of volume growth and an increase in rate. Average loans increased approximately $152.4 million between the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to growth in the investor real estate, residential mortgage, and commercial owner-occupied real estate loan portfolios.
Fully tax-equivalent interest income on investment securities increased by approximately $872 thousand as a result of volume growth and rate increases. Average investment securities increased approximately $86.6 million between the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. The increase in investment securities was funded primarily by PPP loan payoffs.
The increase in rates on loans, investment securities, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily attributable to an increase in benchmark interest rates since March 31, 2022.
42
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $7.2 million to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in rates and, to a lesser extent, volume of deposits. The increase in rates was primarily a result of the repricing of the Company’s time deposits coupled with an increase in rates offered on deposit accounts subsequent to March 31, 2022 as a result of an increase in benchmark interest rates.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a $774 thousand recovery of provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 compared to no provision for the first quarter of 2022. The recovery of provision for credit losses for the current period that is directly attributable to the loan portfolio was $755 thousand. The current period recovery of provision for credit losses also contains a $19 thousand recovery associated with unfunded loan commitments.
The recovery of provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2023 directly attributable to the loan portfolio was primarily due to an $18.2 million decrease in gross loan balances and changes in qualitative factors applied to the CECL model. The changes in qualitative factors applied to the CECL model were primarily due to the current period’s economic forecast worsening relative to the prior quarter, resulting in a quantitative reserve that more adequately reflects the risk of an economic downturn for certain segments relative to the prior quarter. Management previously applied a qualitative factor to all segments to account for the downside risk that the quantitative reserve did not fully incorporate the risk of an economic downturn.
The recovery of the provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2023 directly attributable to unfunded loan commitments was primarily due to the changes in qualitative factors applied to the loan portfolio discussed above. The recovery of provision for credit losses was partially offset by an increase in unfunded loan commitments of approximately $15.0 million during the first quarter of 2023.
See “Asset Quality” section below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income increased $152 thousand or 36.7% during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $206 thousand as a result of mark-to-market adjustments on investments related to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company also recognized customer interest rate swap fee income of $91 thousand, and increases in interchange and other fees as a result of higher customer activity and penalty fee income earned on the early withdrawal of certificates of deposit, respectively. These increases were partially offset by losses of $202 thousand recognized on the sale of investment securities with a par value of $12.0 million during the quarter. The sales were executed to manage the Company’s interest rate risk position, allow for the reinvestment of proceeds into higher yielding assets and as a risk management strategy to reduce the Company’s exposure to municipalities. Excluding mark-to-market adjustments on nonqualified

deferred compensation plan investments and the loss on securities sold, non-interest income increased $149 thousand or 27.9% when compared to the same period in 2022.

Non-interest expense decreased $1.0 million or 11.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits expense, professional fees, occupancy expense of premises, and furniture and equipment expense. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation accruals when compared to the prior year quarter. Incentive compensation accruals can fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter, based upon the Company’s financial performance and conditions measured against, among other evaluation criteria, our strategic plan and budget. At the end of each year, the ultimate determination of the incentive compensation is approved by the Board of Directors. The decrease in professional fees was due to non-recurring professional fees incurred in the first quarter of 2022 as part of our registration with the SEC and timing of projects. The decrease in occupancy expense of premises was due to a decrease in office rent as a result of the renegotiation of certain leases. The decrease in furniture and equipment expense was due to lower depreciation expense on fixed assets.
The decrease in non-interest expense was partially offset by increases in FDIC insurance expense, franchise tax expense, and director compensation expense. The increase in FDIC insurance expense was attributable to the FDIC increasing the base assessment rate for all insured depository institutions. In September 2020, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan to restore the deposit insurance fund (“DIF”) reserve ratio. The restoration plan required the FDIC to update its analysis and projections for the DIF balance and reserve ratio at least semiannually. In the semiannual update in June 2022, the FDIC projected that the reserve ratio was at risk of not reaching the statutory minimum of 1.35% percent by September 30, 2028, the statutory deadline to restore the reserve ratio. Based on this update, the FDIC approved an amended restoration plan, and concurrently proposed an increase in initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules uniformly by two basis points, applicable to all insured depository institutions. The increase in franchise tax expense was due to an increase in the Bank’s equity as that is the basis the Commonwealth of Virginia uses to assess taxes on banking institutions. The increase in director compensation expense was due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards as a result of the death of a director during the first quarter of 2023.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $135 thousand or 7.2% to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 21.6%, compared to 19.6% for the same period ended March 31, 2022. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits realized in connection with the exercise of certain nonqualified stock options during the first quarter of 2022.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholders’ Equity
The Company’s total assets increased $3.0 million or 0.1% to $2.35 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $2.35 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to an increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks of $40.3 million. The increase was partially offset due to decreases in loans net of unearned income and available-for-sale securities of $18.2 and $17.4 million, respectively.
The Company’s total liabilities decreased $5.0 million or 0.2% to $2.13 billion at March 31, 2023. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily attributable to a decrease of $25.5 million in federal funds purchased, which was partially offset by an increase in total deposits of $20.9 million as a result of growth in time deposits.
Shareholders’ equity increased $15.9 million or 7.8% to $220.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $204.9 million at March 31, 2022. Book value per share was $15.63 as of March 31, 2023 compared to $14.68 as of March 31, 2022. The year-over-year change in book value per share was primarily due to the Company’s earnings over the previous twelve months, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and increased share count from shareholder option exercises and restricted share award issuances. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributable to increases in unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment portfolio due to market value changes as a result of rising interest rates.
Investment Securities
The Company maintains a primarily fixed income investment securities portfolio that had a total carrying value of $438.7 million at March 31, 2023 and $457.0 million at December 31, 2022. The investment portfolio is used as a source of liquidity, interest income, and credit risk diversification, as well as to manage rate sensitivity and provide collateral for secured public funds. Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity based on management’s investment strategy and management’s assessment of the intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. Investment securities that we may sell prior to maturity in response to changes in management’s investment strategy, liquidity needs, interest rate risk profile or for other reasons are classified as available-for-sale. The Company also had restricted stock and equity securities within its investment securities portfolio with total carrying values of $4.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 and $4.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
The Company did not purchase investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold available-for-sale securities with a total par value of $12.0 million, which were comprised of $10.0 million of U.S. Treasuries and $2.0 million of municipal bonds. The sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $202 thousand. The Company had $11.1 million in maturities, calls and principal repayments on securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was comprised of $10.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and $1.1 million of collateralized mortgage obligation securities.

Asset Quality
The Company maintains policies and procedures to promote sound underwriting and mitigate credit risk. The Chief Credit Officer is responsible for establishing credit risk policies and procedures, including underwriting and hold guidelines and credit approval authority, and monitoring credit exposure and performance of the Company’s lending-related transactions.
The Company’s asset quality remained strong through the first quarter of 2023. The Company did not have any nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans and OREO, as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company did not have any nonperforming loans, which consists of loans that are 90 days or more past due or loans placed on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The Company did not have any nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022 nor were there any loans placed on nonaccrual during those periods. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when (i) the Company is advised by the borrower that scheduled principal or interest payments cannot be met, (ii) when management’s best judgment indicates that payment in full of principal and
47
interest can no longer be expected, or (iii) when any such loan or obligation becomes delinquent for 90 days, unless it is both well-secured and in the process of collection. As a result, the Company did not have any interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 or the three months ended March 31, 2022.
As part of the Company’s loan modification program to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may provide concessions to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had a recorded investment in TDRs of $418 thousand as of December 31, 2022, all of which were in compliance with their modified terms at December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs.

Allowance for Loan Credit Losses
Refer to the discussion in Note 1 in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for management’s approach to estimating the allowance for loan credit losses.
The Company recorded no net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the allowance for loan credit losses was $21.6 million or 1.22% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, compared to $20.2 million or 1.13% of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was primarily a result of the Company recognizing an incremental allowance upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023. The Company previously accounted for its allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss model.
The following table summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience by loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

Management believes that the allowance for loan credit losses is adequate to absorb lifetime credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of March 31, 2023. There can be no assurance, however, that adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses will not be required in the future. Changes in the economic assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgments; adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area; or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers are criteria that could change and make adjustments to the provision for (recovery of) credit losses necessary.

Included in these amounts were $160.1 million and $162.2 million of public fund deposits that are collateralized by securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Uninsured deposits and deposits not otherwise collateralized by securities represented 36% and 39% of total deposits, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Capital Resources
The Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets and does not (i) have significant off balance sheet exposure, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, or (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and is currently not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank is subject to capital adequacy standards adopted by the Federal Reserve, including the capital rules that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, contains additional discussion and analysis regarding the Company and Bank’s regulatory capital requirements.
Shareholders’ equity increased $8.0 million or 3.8% to $220.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $212.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to first quarter’s net income, a decrease in other comprehensive loss during the period as a result of changes in fair value in the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio, and an increase in
50
additional paid-in capital as a result of option exercises during the first quarter. The increase was partially offset by the impact of the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023.
In August of 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program that was originally adopted in August of 2021. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 700,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or 5.0% of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2023. The stock repurchase program will expire on August 31, 2023 or earlier if all the authorized shares have been repurchased. The Company has not repurchased any of its outstanding common stock under the program as of March 31, 2023.
Liquidity
Liquidity reflects a financial institution’s ability to fund assets and meet current and future financial obligations. Liquidity is essential in all banks to meet customer withdrawals, compensate for balance sheet fluctuations, and provide funds for growth. Monitoring and managing both liquidity measurements is critical in developing prudent and effective balance sheet management. Management conducts liquidity stress testing on a quarterly basis to prepare for unexpected adverse scenarios and contemporaneously develops mitigating strategies to reduce losses in the event of an economic downturn.
The Company’s principal source of liquidity and funding is its deposit base. The level of deposits necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand. In addition to the liquidity provided by balance sheet cash flows, the Company supplements its liquidity with additional sources such as secured borrowing credit lines with the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Specifically, the Company has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB and the Reserve Bank. Based on collateral pledged as of March 31, 2023, the total FHLB available borrowing capacity was $423.1 million. Additional borrowing capacity with the Reserve Bank was approximately $28.0 million as of March 31, 2023.
Total liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered securities at fair value, and available secured borrowing capacity, was $852.6 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $763.5 million at December 31, 2022. On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve made available the BTFP which enhances the ability of banks to borrow greater amounts against certain high-quality, unencumbered investments. To date, while the Company has been approved to participate in the BTFP, we have chosen not to do so. If the Company were to avail itself of the BTFP, we estimate an incremental increase in our liquidity position of approximately $35.2 million.
In addition to available secured borrowing capacity, the Company had available federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $110.0 million at March 31, 2023.
Liquidity is a core pillar of the Company’s operations. Conditions may arise in the future that could negatively impact the Company’s future liquidity position resulting in funding mismatches. These include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity) and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, and reputation risks also can affect a bank’s liquidity. Management maintains that the Company has a strong liquidity position, any of the factors referenced above could materially impact that in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees which would impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors. For further information, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for further discussion of the nature, business purpose and elements of risk involved with these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and regulations are designed and operating in an effective manner.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Related to adoption of the standard, the Company modified certain internal controls and designed and implemented certain new internal controls over the measurement of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the reserve for unfunded commitments and related disclosures. New internal controls related primarily to the modeling of expected credit losses on loans, including controls over critical data and other inputs and model results. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
