Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Business and Organization

MVB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company organized in 2003 as a West Virginia corporation that operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”). The Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries include MVB Edge Ventures, LLC (“Edge Ventures”), Paladin Fraud, LLC (“Paladin Fraud”) and MVB Insurance, LLC, a title insurance company (“MVB Insurance”). The Bank owns a controlling interest in Trabian Technology, Inc. (“Trabian”) and Edge Ventures wholly-owns Victor Technologies, Inc. (“Victor”), as well as controlling interests in MVB Technology, LLC (“MVB Technology”) and Flexia Payments, LLC (“Flexia”). The Bank also owns an equity method investment in Intercoastal Mortgage Company, LLC (“ICM”) and MVB Financial Corp. owns equity method investments in Warp Speed Holdings, LLC (“Warp Speed”) and Ayers Socure II, LLC (“Ayers Socure II”).

Edge Ventures serves as a management company providing oversight, alignment and structure for MVB’s Fintech companies and allocates resources to help incubate venture businesses and technologies acquired and developed by MVB.

Through our professional services entities, which include Paladin Fraud and Trabian, we provide compliance and consulting solutions to assist Fintech and corporate clients in building digital products and meeting their regulatory compliance and fraud defense needs.

In February 2023, we completed the sale of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ProCo Global, Inc. (“Chartwell,” which does business under the registered trade name Chartwell Compliance). Please refer to Note 14 – Acquisition & Divestiture Activity.

We conduct a wide range of business activities through the Bank, primarily commercial and retail (“CoRe”) banking services, as well as Fintech banking.

CoRe Banking

We offer our customers a full range of products and services including:
lVarious demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit;
lCommercial, consumer and real estate mortgage loans and lines of credit;
lDebit cards;
lCashier’s checks;
lSafe deposit rental facilities; and
l
Non-deposit investment services offered through an association with a broker-dealer.

Fintech Banking

We provide innovative strategies to independent banking and corporate clients throughout the United States. Our dedicated Fintech sales team specializes in providing banking services to corporate Fintech clients, with a primary focus on operational risk management and compliance. Managing banking relationships with clients in the payments, digital savings, digital assets, crowd funding, lottery and gaming industries is complex, from both an operational and regulatory perspective. We believe that the complexity of serving these industries causes them to be underserved with quality banking services and provides us with a significantly expanded pool of potential customers. When serviced in a safe and efficient manner, we believe these industries provide a source of stable, lower cost deposits and noninterest, fee-based income. We thoroughly analyze each industry in which our customers operate, as well as any new products or services provided, from both an operational and regulatory perspective.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are consolidated to include the accounts of MVB and its subsidiaries, including the Bank and the Bank’s subsidiaries. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidated financial statements.
12


Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Wholly-owned investments or investments in which we have a controlling financial interest, whether majority owned or in certain circumstances a minority interest, are required to be consolidated into our financial statements. We evaluate investments in entities on an ongoing basis to determine the need to consolidate.

The Bank owns controlling interests in Flexia, Trabian and MVB Technology. We own an 80.0% interest in Flexia, an 80.8% interest in Trabian and a 93.4% interest in MVB Technology. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate 100% of each entity within the consolidated financial statements. The remaining interests of these entities are accounted for separately as noncontrolling interests within our consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of ownership and profit or loss that is attributable to the minority owners of these entities.

Unconsolidated investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the respective investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Those investments that are not consolidated or accounted for using the equity method of accounting are accounted for under cost or fair value accounting. For investments accounted for under the equity method, we record our investment in non-consolidated affiliates and the portion of income or loss in equity in earnings of non-consolidated affiliates. We periodically evaluate these investments for impairment. As of March 31, 2023, we held three equity method investments.

Preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based upon the best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. An estimate that is particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) for current and previous periods, respectively.

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for certain contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASC 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The guidance permits entities to not apply modification accounting or remeasure lease payments in lease contracts if the changes to the contract are related to the discontinuation of the reference rate. If certain criteria are met, the amendments also allow exceptions to the de-designation criteria of the hedging relationship and the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the transition period. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 was issued by the FASB and clarifies that certain exceptions in reference rate reform apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. We will continue to assess the impact as the reference rate transition occurs over the next year. As of March 31, 2023, we had loans totaling $258.36 million that reference LIBOR which will be transitioned to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) effective June 30, 2023.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security, and therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account and require additional disclosures related to equity securities with contractual sale restrictions. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We do not currently expect these amendments to have a material impact our consolidated financial statements.
13



In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structure Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The amendments allow registrants the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for all types of investments in tax credit structures if certain conditions are met. Prior to these amendments the option to use the proportional amortization method was limited to only investments in low-income-housing tax credit structures. Under the proportional amortization method, entities amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognize the net amortization and income tax credits and other benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense or benefit. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We do not currently expect these amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326 and ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures all of which clarify codification and correct unintended application of the guidance. Collectively, upon adoption, these updates comprise Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans will receive an allowance account at the acquisition date that represents a component of the purchase price allocation. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. We formed a cross-functional implementation team. This cross-functional team has completed testing the model and has executed the implementation plan, which included assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model testing and documentation; and system configuration, among other things. We completed the process of implementing a third-party vendor solution to assist us in the application of this standard. Adoption of this pronouncement resulted in an increase in the allowance for credit loss ("ACL") as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio.

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for loans, leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Adoption of this guidance resulted in a $10.0 million increase in the ACL, comprised of increases in the ACL for loans of $8.9 million and the ACL for unfunded commitments of $1.1 million, with $1.2 million of the increase reclassified from the amortized cost basis of PCD financial assets. This increase was offset by $2.1 million related to tax effect, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $6.6 million. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss model.

The ACL for the majority of the Bank's loans and leases was calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology applied at a loan level with a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and a one-year straight-line reversion period. The Bank’s current ACL fluctuates over time due to macroeconomic conditions and forecasts as well as the size and composition of the loan portfolios.

We adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for PCD assets that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”). In accordance with the pronouncement, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. As mentioned above, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets was adjusted to reflect the addition of $1.2 million to the ACL. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) is being accreted into interest income at a rate that approximates the effective interest rate beginning on January 1, 2023. With regard to PCD assets, because we elected to disaggregate the former PCI pools and no longer considers these pools to be the unit of account, contractually delinquent PCD loans are now being reported as nonaccrual loans using the same criteria as other loans.

14


In addition to the aforementioned elections, we made the following elections at adoption:
l
to not measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on those loans that are 90 days past due;
l
to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of financial instruments subject to ASC 326 and to separately state the balance of accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet;
l
as a practical expedient, elected to use the fair value of collateral when determining the ACL for loans if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty (collateral-dependent loans).
l
to update our troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") disclosures in accordance with ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs for creditors.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $221.3 million and $91.3 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds, repurchase agreements, and potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve discount window.

Our investment portfolio includes securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2023, the details of which are included in the following table. We evaluate available-for-sale debt securities to determine whether the unrealized loss is due to credit-related factors or non-credit-related factors. When determining the allowance for credit losses on securities, we consider such factors as adverse conditions specifically related to a certain security or to specific conditions in an industry or geographic area, the time frame securities have been in an unrealized loss position, our ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in value, whether or not the security has been downgraded by a rating agency and whether or not the financial condition of the security issuer has severely deteriorated.

Although these securities would result in a pretax loss of $41.3 million if sold at March 31, 2023, declines in the fair value of these securities can be traced to general market conditions, which reflect the prospect for the economy as a whole, rather than credit-related conditions. Therefore, we have no allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023.

The following tables show available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous loss position:

We currently manage our loan portfolios and the respective exposure to credit losses (credit risk) by the following specific portfolio segments. With the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, we modified our loan portfolio segmentation to be based primarily on call report codes, which are levels at which we develop and document our systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses attributable to each respective portfolio segment. The ACL portfolio segments are aggregated into broader segments in order to present informative yet concise disclosures within this document, as follows:

Commercial business loans – Commercial business loans are made to provide funds for equipment and general corporate needs, as well as to finance owner-occupied real estate, and to finance future cash flows of Federal government lease contracts. Repayment of these loans primarily uses the funds obtained from the operation of the borrower’s business. Commercial business loans also include lines of credit that are utilized to finance a borrower’s short-term credit needs and/or to finance a percentage of eligible receivables and inventory. This segment includes both internally originated and purchased participation loans. Credit risk arises from the successful operation of the business, which may be affected by competition, rising interest rates, regulatory changes and adverse conditions in the local and regional economy.

Commercial real estate loans – Commercial real estate loans consist of non-owner occupied properties, such as investment properties for retail, office and multifamily with a history of occupancy and cash flow. This segment includes both internally originated and purchased participation loans. These loans carry the risk of adverse changes in the local economy and a tenant’s deteriorating credit strength, lease expirations in soft markets and sustained vacancies, which can adversely impact cash flow.

Commercial acquisition, development and construction loans – Commercial acquisition, development and construction loans are intended to finance the construction of commercial and residential properties, and also includes loans for the acquisition and development of land. Construction loans represent a higher degree of risk than permanent real estate loans and may be affected by a variety of factors such as the borrower’s ability to control costs and adhere to time schedules and the risk that constructed units may not be absorbed by the market within the anticipated time frame or at the anticipated price. The loan commitment on these loans often includes an interest reserve that allows the lender to periodically advance loan funds to pay interest charges on the outstanding balance of the loan.

Residential real estate – This residential real estate subsegment contains permanent and construction mortgage loans principally to consumers, but also includes loans to residential real estate developers, secured by residential real estate, which we previously presented under commercial acquisitions, development and construction loans under the incurred loss model. Residential real estate loans to consumers are evaluated for the adequacy of repayment sources at the time of approval, based upon measures including credit scores, debt-to-income ratios and collateral values. Credit risk arises from the borrower’s, and where applicable, the builder’s, continuing financial stability, which can be adversely impacted by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy, among other factors. Residential real estate secured loans to developers represent a higher degree of risk than permanent real
17


estate loans and may be affected by a variety of factors such as the borrower’s ability to control costs and adhere to time schedules and the risk that constructed units may not be absorbed by the market within the anticipated time frame or at the anticipated price. Also impacting credit risk would be a shortfall in the value of the residential real estate in relation to the outstanding loan balance in the event of a default or subsequent liquidation of the real estate collateral.

Home equity lines of credit – This segment includes subsegment for senior lien and subordinate lien lines of credit. Credit risk is similar to residential real estate loans described above as it is subject to the borrower’s continuing financial stability and the value of the collateral securing the loan.

Consumer loans – This segment of loans includes primarily installment loans and personal lines of credit. Consumer loans include installment loans used by clients to purchase automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. Credit risk is similar to residential real estate loans described above as it is subject to the borrower’s continuing financial stability and the value of the collateral securing the loan. This segment primarily includes loans purchased from a third-party originator that originates loans in order to finance the purchase of personal automotive vehicles for sub-prime borrowers. Credit risk is unique in comparison to the Consumer segment as this segment includes only those loans provided to consumers that cannot typically obtain financing through traditional lenders. As such, these loans are subject to a higher risk of default than the typical consumer loan.

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss model.

As of March 31, 2023, the Bank’s other real estate owned balance totaled $1.0 million, of which $0.9 million was related to the acquisition of The First State Bank (“First State”) in 2020. The Bank held $0.8 million, or 80.0%, of other real estate owned as a result of the foreclosure of two unrelated commercial loans. The remaining $0.2 million, or 20.0%, consists of three foreclosed residential real estate property. As of March 31, 2023, there were five residential mortgages in the process of foreclosure with loan balances totaling $0.7 million.

Bank management uses a nine-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions.

Loans categorized as “Pass” rated have adequate sources of repayment, with little identifiable risk of collection and general conformity to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines and underwriting standards. Any exceptions that are identified during the underwriting and approval process have been adequately mitigated by other factors.

Loans categorized as “Special Mention” rated have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Loans categorized as “Substandard” rated are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans categorized as “Doubtful” rated have all the weakness inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collections or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.

The Special Mention rated category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Any portion of a loan that has been or is expected to be charged off is placed in the “Loss” category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories, unless a specific action, such as past due status, bankruptcy, repossession or death, occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Bank’s Chief Credit Officer is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in the portfolio at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Bank's Credit Department ensures that a review of all commercial relationships of $1.0 million or more is performed annually.
19



Review of the appropriate risk grade is included in both the internal and external loan review process and on an ongoing basis. The Bank has an experienced Credit Department that continually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. The Bank engages an external consultant to conduct independent loan reviews on at least an annual basis. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships in excess of $3.0 million or criticized relationships. The Bank's Credit Department compiles detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, on loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis. Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

A loan that has deteriorated and requires additional collection efforts by the Bank could warrant non-accrual status. A complete review is presented to the Chief Credit Officer and/or the Special Asset Review Committee (“SARC”), as required with respect to any loan which is in a collection process and to make a determination as to whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. The placement of loans on non-accrual status is subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and guidelines. Generally, loans should be placed in non-accrual status when the loan reaches 90 days past due, becomes likely the borrower cannot or will not make scheduled principal or interest payments, full repayment of principal and interest is not expected or the loan displays potential loss characteristics. Normally, all accrued interest is charged off when a loan is placed in non-accrual status unless we believe it is likely the accrued interest will be collected. Any payments subsequently received are applied to the principal. All principal and interest due must be paid up-to-date and the Bank is reasonably sure of future satisfactory payment performance to remove a loan from non-accrual status. Usually, this requires the receipt of six consecutive months of regular, on-time payments. Removal of a loan from non-accrual status will require the approval of the Chief Credit Officer and/or the SARC.

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Management determines the ACL balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit behaviors along with model judgments provide the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to modeled loss estimates may be made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level or term, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in economic conditions, property values or other relevant factors.

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ACL is based on the requirements of ASC 326 for loans individually evaluated for impairment and ASC Subtopic 450-20 - Contingencies for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Credit Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Bank’s ACL.

The ACL is calculated on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The ACL for the majority of loans and leases was calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology applied at a loan level with a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and a one-year straight-line reversion period with loss rates, prepayment assumptions and curtailment assumptions
23


driven by each loan’s collateral type. Expected credit loss rates were estimated using a regression model based on historical data from peer banks which incorporates a third-party vendor’s economic forecast to predict the change in credit losses. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank expects the markets in which it operates will experience a decline in economic conditions and an increase in the unemployment rate and level of delinquencies, over the next one to two years. The ACL for only one portfolio segment consisting entirely of automotive loans to consumers was calculated under the remaining life methodology using straight-line amortization over the remaining life of the portfolio.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When Bank management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

The Bank evaluates certain loans in homogeneous pools, rather than on an individual basis, when those loans are below specific thresholds based on outstanding principal balance. More specifically, residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and consumer loans are evaluated collectively for expected credit losses by applying allocation rates derived from the Bank’s historical losses specific to these loans and the reserve totaled $0.1 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the estimated losses derived from the loss rate methodologies employed within the CECL model because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from the loss rate methodologies. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory and governmental sources are: lending policies and procedures, nature and volume of the portfolio, experience and ability of lending management and staff, volume and severity of problem credits, quality of the loan review system, changes in the value of underlying collateral, effect of concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint, changes in economic and business conditions, consumer sentiment and other external factors.

For accounting methodologies related to the incurred loss method previously used before the adoption of ASC 326, refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2022 Form 10-K.

To estimate the liability for off-balance sheet credit exposures, Bank management analyzed the portfolios of unfunded commitments based on the same segmentation used for the allowance for credit losses calculation. The estimated funding rate for each segment was derived from a funding rate study created by a third-party vendor which analyzed funding of various loan types over time to develop industry benchmarks at the call report code level. Once the estimated future advances were calculated, the allocation rate applicable to that portfolio segment was applied in the same manner as those used for the allowance for credit loss calculation. The resulting estimated loss allocations were totaled to determine the liability for unfunded commitments related to these loans, which management considers necessary to anticipate potential losses on those commitments that have a reasonable probability of funding. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the liability for unfunded commitments related to loans held for investment was $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Bank management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ACL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ACL.

The ACL is based on estimates and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the portfolio segments, the related loss estimation methodologies and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ACL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the TDR model.

At December 31, 2022, the Bank had specific reserve allocations for TDRs of $0.4 million. Loans considered to be troubled debt restructured loans totaled $10.4 million as of December 31, 2022. Of the total, $4.7 million represents accruing troubled debt restructured loans and represent 45% of total impaired loans at December 31, 2022. Meanwhile, as of December 31, 2022, $5.7 million represents nine loans to seven borrowers that have defaulted under the restructured terms. The largest of these loans is a $1.9 million restructured commercial loan to a company previously dependent on the coal industry, which is now structured as an unsecured loan. Three of these loans to an unrelated borrower, totaling $3.1 million, are restructured equipment loans to a borrower in the coal industry, which was provided extended interest-only terms to allow time for the collateral equipment to be sold. There is a commercial loan totaling $0.5 million secured by government lease payments that previously defaulted and is now making restructured payments. The four remaining unrelated borrowers have a single loan each, totaling $0.2 million. These borrowers have experienced continued financial difficulty and are considered non-performing loans as of December 31, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no additional loans were identified as both experiencing financial difficulty and modified. Financial difficulty is considered when the borrower's operating performance deteriorates to the degree we believe it is probably they will not able to perform under the terms of the loan.

Note 5 – Equity Method Investments

In accordance with Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, we must assess whether our equity method investments are significant. In evaluating the significance of these investments, we performed the income, investment and asset tests described in S-X 1-02(w) for each equity method investment. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information for all equity method investees in a quarterly report if any of the equity method investees, individually or in the aggregate, result in any of the tests exceeding 10%.

Under the income test, our proportionate share of the revenue from equity method investments in the aggregate exceeded the applicable threshold under Rule 4-08(g) of 10%, accordingly, we are required to provide summarized income statement information for all investees for all periods presented.

Our equity method investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted for changes in the valuation of the entities and our share of the entities' earnings.

Accordingly, the investment is accounted for as an equity method investment. At the time of acquisition, we made a policy election to record our proportionate share of net income of the investee on a three month lag. Our share of Warp Speed's net income totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Ayers Socure II

Our ownership percentage of Ayers Socure II is 10% and it was determined that we have significant influence over the company. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for as an equity method investment. Our share of net income from Ayers Socure II for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was not significant. The equity method investment in Ayers Socure II is not considered a significant investment based on the criteria of Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X.

Ayers Socure II's sole business is ownership of equity securities in Socure Inc. (“Socure”). In addition to our equity method investment in Ayers Socure II, we also have direct equity security ownership interest in Socure. With the combination of our investments in both Ayers Socure II and Socure directly, we own less than 1% of Socure in the aggregate.

Note 7 – Borrowed Funds

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank's maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $777.3 million and the remaining borrowing capacity was $763.3 million, with the difference being deposit letters of credit.

Short-term borrowings

As of March 31, 2023, the Bank had no short-term borrowings with the FHLB and no borrowings under the federal funds rate purchased outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank had $102.3 million short-term borrowings with the FHLB and no borrowings under the federal funds rate purchased outstanding.

Long-term borrowings

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank had no long-term borrowings with the FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank.

Repurchase agreements

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) with clients representing funds deposited by clients, on an overnight basis, that are collateralized by investment securities owned by us. All repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of repurchase/security agreements between us and the client and are accounted for as secured borrowings. Our repurchase agreements reflected in liabilities consist of client accounts and securities which are pledged on an individual security basis.

We monitor the fair value of the underlying securities on a monthly basis. Repurchase agreements are reflected in the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The primary risk with our repurchase agreements is the market risk associated with the investments securing the transactions, as we may be required to provide additional collateral based on fair value changes of the underlying investments. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with our safekeeping agents.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of our repurchase agreements were overnight agreements. These borrowings were collateralized with investment securities with a carrying value of $5.5 million and $10.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were comprised of United States government agency securities and United States sponsored mortgage-backed securities. Declines in the value of the collateral would require us to increase the amounts of securities pledged.

In September 2021, we completed the private placement of $30.0 million fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes to certain qualified institutional investors. These notes are unsecured and have a 10-year term, maturing October 1, 2031, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.25%, payable semi-annually in arrears, for the first five years of the term. Thereafter, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR, plus 254 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. These notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

In November 2020, we completed the private placement of $40.0 million fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes to certain qualified institutional investors. These notes are unsecured and have a ten-year term, maturing December 1, 2030, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25%, payable semi-annually in arrears, for the first five years of the term. Thereafter, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR, plus 401 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. These notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

In March 2007, we completed the private placement of $4.0 million Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities through our MVB Financial Statutory Trust I subsidiary (the “Trust”). We established the Trust for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust. The Trust Preferred Securities and the Debentures mature in 2037 and have been redeemable by us since 2012. Interest payments are due in March, June, September and December and are adjusted at the interest due dates at a rate of 1.62% over the three-month LIBOR Rate. The obligations we provide with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by us of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantees. The securities issued by the Trust are includable for regulatory purposes as a component of our Tier 1 capital.

In October 2022, we entered into a credit agreement with Raymond James Bank (“Raymond James”). Pursuant to the credit agreement, Raymond James has extended to us a senior term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million. In connection with the closing of the Warp Speed transaction, we borrowed $10.0 million and paid Raymond James an upfront fee of 1% of the loan amount. The loan will bear interest per annum at a rate equal to 2.75%, plus term secured overnight financing rate, which will reset monthly. Accrued interest is payable on the last business day of each month, beginning with October 31, 2022, with the then outstanding principal balance of the loan payable on the last business day of each quarter in the amount of 125,000 during the first year and 250,000 thereafter. The loan will mature in April 2025, unless accelerated earlier upon an event of default.

Note 8 – Pension and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

We participate in a trusteed pension plan known as the Allegheny Group Retirement Plan. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. Accruals under the plan were frozen as of May 31, 2014. Freezing the plan resulted in a remeasurement of the pension obligations and plan assets as of the freeze date. The pension obligation was remeasured using the discount rate based on the Citigroup Above Median Pension Discount Curve in effect on May 31, 2014 of 4.5%.

In June 2017, we approved a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), pursuant to which the Chief Executive Officer of Potomac Mortgage Group (“PMG”) is entitled to receive certain supplemental nonqualified retirement benefits. The SERP took effect on December 31, 2017. As the executive completed three years of continuous employment with PMG prior to retirement date (which shall be no earlier than the date he attains age 55) he will, upon retirement, be entitled to receive $1.8 million payable in 180 equal consecutive monthly installments of $10 thousand. The liability is calculated by discounting the anticipated future cash flows at 4.0%. The liability accrued for this obligation was $1.3 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Service costs were not material for any periods covered by this report.

The following table presents information pertaining to the activity in our defined benefit plan, using the latest available actuarial valuations with a measurement date of March 31, 2023 and 2022 for the periods shown:

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

33


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time of our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in this footnote are consistent with our methodologies disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2022 Form 10-K.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

As required by accounting standards, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following measurements are made on a recurring basis.

Available-for-sale investment securities Available-for-sale investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level I securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and money market funds. Level II securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and private label entities, municipal bonds, United States Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in inactive over-the-counter markets and corporate debt securities. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods. Certain local municipal securities related to tax increment financing (“TIF”) are independently valued and classified as Level III instruments. We classified investments in government securities as Level II instruments and valued them using the market approach.

Equity securities Certain equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. The valuation methodologies utilized may include significant unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.

Interest rate swap Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on third-party vendors who compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar instruments by using pricing models that consider observable market data.

Fair value hedgeTreated like an interest rate swap, fair value hedges are recorded at fair value based on third-party vendors who compile prices from various sources and may determine fair value of identical or similar instruments by using pricing models that consider observable market data.

Bank-owned life insurance - Life insurance where the bank is both the policy beneficiary and owner. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and increases in cash surrender, contract value and net insurance proceeds at maturity are recorded as other income.

Embedded derivatives — Accounted for and recorded separately from the underlying contract as a derivative at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are determined using the Monte Carlo model valuation technique. The valuation methodology utilized includes significant unobservable inputs.

Assets Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets, financial liabilities, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during 2023 and 2022 include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other noninterest expense.

Collateral-dependent loans - Certain loans receivable are evaluated individually for credit loss when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of collateral. Estimated credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for costs to sell. Collateral values are estimated using Level II inputs based on observable market data or Level III inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of collateral-dependent real estate related loans, we obtain a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.
Loans held-for-sale - The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used by other market participants. If the fair value at the reporting date exceeds the amortized cost of a loan, the loan is reported at amortized cost.

Other real estate owned Other real estate owned, which is obtained through the Bank’s foreclosure process, is valued utilizing the appraised collateral value. Collateral values are estimated using Level II inputs based on observable market data or Level III inputs based on customized discounting criteria. At the time the foreclosure is completed, we obtain a current external appraisal.

Other debt securitiesCertain debt securities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These other debt securities are securities without a readily determinable fair value and are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions, as defined, for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Equity securities Certain equity securities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions, as defined, for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

1 Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level III inputs that are not identifiable.
2 Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
3 Fair value is determined through independent analysis of liquidity, rating, yield and duration.
4 Appraisals may be adjusted for qualitative factors, such as local economic conditions, liquidity, marketability and legal structure.
5 Municipal securities classified as Level III instruments are comprised of TIF bonds related to certain local municipal securities.

Note 11 – Earnings per Share

We determine basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, increased by both the number of shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of instruments under our incentive stock plan.

Note 13 – Segment Reporting

We have identified three reportable segments: CoRe banking; mortgage banking; and financial holding company. All other operating segments are summarized in an other category. Revenue from CoRe banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Our Fintech division and MVB CDC are included in the CoRe banking segment. Revenue from our mortgage banking segment is primarily comprised of our share of net
40


income or loss from mortgage banking activities of our equity method investments in ICM and Warp Speed. Revenue from financial holding company activities is mainly comprised of intercompany service income and dividends.

The following tables present information about the reportable segments and reconciliation to the consolidated financial statements for the periods shown:

Note 14 – Acquisition & Divestiture Activity

Chartwell Compliance

In February 2023, we completed the sale of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chartwell, for total consideration of $14.4 million in the form of a note issued to the buyer, resulting in a gain on sale of $11.8 million. The note matures June 20, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7%, payable in four equal annual installments commencing June 20, 2024. To facilitate a transition of the Chartwell services and support the onboarding and conversion of systems, we entered into a 60 day Employee Lease and Service Agreement, whereby we will provide the purchaser with finance and accounting, human capital, information technology, marketing and record/data retention services. In addition, we entered into a contract with the purchaser to continue to provide services and support from Chartwell for three years following the sale.

Balances attributable to Chartwell are included in assets from discontinued operations and liabilities from discontinued operations on our December 31, 2022 balance sheet. There were no assets from discontinued operations or liabilities from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2023. Chartwell's net income is presented in income from discontinued operations for all periods shown. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with this presentation.

Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc.

In August 2022, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc. (“IFH”). The Merger Agreement provided that IFH would merge with and into MVB, with MVB continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, West Town Bank & Trust, a state bank chartered under the laws of Illinois and wholly-owned subsidiary of IFH, would merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 4, 2022, between West Town Bank & Trust and the Bank (the “Bank Merger Agreement” and, together with the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”). On May 9, 2023, MVB, IFH, West Town Bank & Trust and the Bank entered into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreements and mutually released one another from any claims (subject to limited customary exceptions) related to the contemplated merger transactions.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing in the 2022 Form 10-K. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Report for further information on forward-looking statements.

Executive Summary

We continue to adapt our business model due to challenging market conditions, primarily brought on by an environment of increasing interest rates, a slowing economy and multiple high-profile bank failures. We remain committed to key Fintech industry gaming and payments initiatives and continue to implement cost-saving measures. We continue to expand the Bank's treasury services function to support the banking needs of financial and emerging technology companies, which we believe will further enhance core deposits, notably through the expansion of deposit acquisition and fee income strategies through the Fintech division. Additionally, we have expanded our compliance and risk management team to support the growth in these lines of business. We have entered into agreements for card issuing and acquiring program sponsorships to further enhance fee income and noninterest income.

Current Market Conditions

In March 2023, certain specialized banking institutions with elevated concentrations of uninsured deposits experienced large deposit outflows, resulting in the institutions being placed into FDIC receiverships. In the aftermath, there has been substantial market disruption and indications that deposit concerns could spread within the banking industry, leading to deposit outflows and other destabilizing results. These market events could materially adversely affect our business. A deterioration in economic conditions or the loss of confidence in financial institutions may result in deposit base outflows and limit our access to some of our customary sources of liquidity, including, but not limited to, inter-bank borrowings and borrowings from the Federal Reserve and FHLB. In addition, account and deposit balances may decrease when clients perceive alternative investments, such as the stock market or real estate, as providing a better risk/return tradeoff. Furthermore, the portion of our deposit portfolio that is comprised of large uninsured deposits may be more likely to be withdrawn rapidly under adverse economic conditions. If our clients move money out of bank deposits into investments or to other financial institutions, we could lose a relatively low cost source of funds. Despite the events of March 2023, our total deposits increased to $3.15 billion as of March 31, 2023, as compared to $2.57 billion at December 31, 2022. Additionally, our off-balance sheet deposits grew to $1.04 billion as of March 31, 2023 from $724.0 million at December 31, 2022.

Financial Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net interest income increased $10.9 million, noninterest income decreased $6.2 million and noninterest expenses increased by $1.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our yield on earning assets (tax-equivalent) in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 6.00% compared to 3.38% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Loans receivable decreased by $11.5 million to $2.36 billion compared to December 31, 2022. Our overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.95% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.39% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. This cost of interest-bearing liabilities, combined with the earning asset yield, resulted in a net interest margin (tax-equivalent) of 4.40% in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.18% in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We earned $11.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily the result of an $11.8 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chartwell. Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023 equated to a return on average assets of 1.4% and a return on average equity of 16.1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 results of 0.4% and 4.2%, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.90 and $0.87, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.24 and $0.22, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans, investment securities and certificates of deposit in banks. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds such as sweep accounts, repurchase agreements, subordinated debt and the senior term loan. Net interest income, which is the primary source of revenue for the Bank, is also impacted by changes in market interest rates and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and measures the net revenue stream generated by the Bank’s balance sheet. Net interest spread is calculated by taking the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities in an effort to maximize net interest income, while maintaining an appropriate level of interest rate risk.

In 2023, the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate from a range of 4.25% to 4.50% as of December 31, 2022 to a range of 4.75% to 5.00% as of March 31, 2023. We continually analyze methods to deploy assets into an earning asset mix to result in a stronger net interest margin.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) was 4.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 3.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest margin (tax equivalent) was driven by strong loan growth and higher loan yields due to interest rate increases, partially offset by an increase in deposit costs and the cost of borrowings. Net interest spread (tax-equivalent) was 3.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The difference between the net interest margin (tax-equivalent) and net interest spread (tax-equivalent) was 135 basis points in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 19 basis points in the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven by the increase in interest expense outpacing the increase in average assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net interest income increased by $10.9 million, or 49.8%, to $32.7 million from $21.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase is largely due strong loan growth at favorable interest rates, primarily driven by the Company's strategic lending partnership growth vehicle and broad-based growth throughout CoRe banking business, as well as the effects of higher interest rates on earning assets, including investment securities and interest bearing deposits with other banks, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds. Average total earning assets were $3.04 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.82 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total interest income increased by $21.5 million, or 92.4%, to $44.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $23.3 million in
48


the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven by higher yields from new loan production at favorable interest rates. Average total loans increased to $2.38 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1.85 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as the result of a $282.6 million increase in average real estate loans, a $167.2 million increase in average commercial loans and an $82.9 million increase in average consumer loans. The yield on total loans increased 1.88%.

Average investment securities increased $3.8 million as the result of a $9.2 million increase in tax-exempt investments and a $5.4 million decrease in taxable investments during three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to three months ended March 31, 2022. The yield on tax-exempt securities increased 26 basis points and the taxable securities yield increased 208 basis points.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $173.7 million for three months ended March 31, 2023 from three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of average balance increases of $298.9 million in certificates of deposit, $71.2 million in FHLB and other borrowings and $43.3 million in savings, partially offset by an average balance decrease of $257.1 million in money market checking accounts.

Average interest-bearing deposits were $1.49 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1.40 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total interest expense increased by $10.6 million, caused primarily by a $9.5 million increase in deposit interest. The result was a 256 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily driven by increases in interest rates and liquidity actions taken during the first quarter of 2023 in response to market conditions .

Further discussion on borrowings is included in Note 7 – Borrowed Funds accompanying the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses, which is a product of management’s analysis, is recorded in response to inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Credit loss provisions were $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in credit loss provision is the result of continued charge-offs, mainly against the subprime auto segment, as well as increased allocation rates due to weakening economic forecasts and increasing loss rates in the subprime auto segment.

Further discussion on new accounting standards is included in Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation accompanying the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Total loan receivable balances decreased $11.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to an increase of $28.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The commercial loan portfolio decreased by $55.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, in comparison to an decrease of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, while the residential mortgage loan portfolio increased by $98.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a $6.8 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, our consumer loan portfolio decreased by $52.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, while it increased by $21.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2023 totaled $1.7 million, compared to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Noninterest Income

Payment card and service charge income, consulting compliance income, equity method investment income and gains on securities generally account for the majority of our noninterest income. Also, from time to time, we recognize gains or losses on acquisition and divestiture activity.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $3.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The decrease in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily the result of decreases of $2.3 million in equity method investment income, $2.2 million in the gain on sale of available-for-sale securities, $1.8 million in equity method holding gains and $1.4 million in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in other operating income.

49


Equity method investment income decreased $2.3 million due to lower mortgage banking revenue. Gain on sale of available-for-sale securities decreased $2.2 million due to losses on the sale of securities as we took repositioned our investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in equity method holding gains of $1.8 million as compared to prior year reflected an in substance sale of an equity method investment from our portfolio in the first quarter of 2022. Gain on sale of loans decreased $1.4 million, primarily as a result of losses on the sale of consumer automobile loans as we reduce that portfolio. The increase of $1.3 million in other operating income primarily reflects higher fee income related to off balance sheet deposits.

Noninterest Expense

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Noninterest expense was $28.3 million and $27.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 59% of noninterest expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was related to personnel costs. Personnel costs are a significant part of our noninterest expense as such costs are critical to financial services organizations. The increase relative to the prior year period primarily reflects higher salaries and employee benefits costs of $1.0 million due to the annual incentive plan, partially offset by the implementation of the expense reduction initiatives announced in the prior year.

Discontinued Operations

In February 2023, we completed the sale of Chartwell for total consideration of $14.4 million in the form of a loan issued to the buyer, resulting in a gain on sale of $11.8 million. To facilitate a transition of the Chartwell services and support the onboarding and conversion of systems, we entered into a 60 day Employee Lease and Service Agreement, whereby we will provide the purchaser with finance and accounting, human capital, information technology, marketing and record/data retention services. In addition, we entered into a contract with the purchaser to continue to provide services and support from Chartwell for three years following the sale.

Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $8.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase in net income from discontinued operations was driven primarily by the $11.8 million gain on sale, partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in compliance and consulting income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Return on Assets and Equity

Assets

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Our return on average assets was 1.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased return in the first quarter of 2023 is a result of a $8.4 million increase in earnings. The increase is primarily due to the gain on sale of discontinued operations, while average total assets increased by $295.9 million, mainly as the result of a $531.6 million increase in average total loans, a $90.9 million increase in average other assets related to the purchase of our equity method investment in Warp Speed and additional assets received as part of our banking-as-a-service tax refund program, partially offset by a $310.5 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits with banks.

Equity

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Our return on average stockholders’ equity was 16.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased return in the first quarter of 2023 is a result of an $8.4 million increase in earnings, while average equity increased by $11.9 million.

Statement of Financial Condition

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $575.3 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $40.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects actions taken in March 2023 to ensure liquidity in response to recent conditions in the banking industry. We believe the current balance of cash and cash equivalents adequately serves our liquidity and performance needs. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate daily due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands.

Investment Securities

Investment securities, including equity securities, totaled $378.2 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $418.6 million at December 31, 2022. The following table presents a summary of the investment securities portfolio as of the periods shown. The available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value.
(Dollars in thousands)March 31, 2023December 31, 2022

Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through the Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) meetings. The ALCO also monitors net interest income and assists in the management of interest rate risk for us. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio, sufficient liquidity is maintained to satisfy depositor requirements and the various credit needs of our customers. Management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on these parameters.

Loans

Our loan portfolio totaled $2.36 billion as of March 31, 2023 and $2.37 billion as of December 31, 2022. The Bank’s lending is primarily focused in North Central West Virginia and Northern Virginia. The portfolio consists principally of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages, and consumer lending.

For more information regarding our loans, see Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses accompanying the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Loan Concentration

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, commercial and non-residential real estate loans comprised the largest component of the loan portfolio. A large portion of commercial loans are secured by real estate and they are diverse with respect to geographical location and industry. Loans that are not secured by real estate are typically secured by accounts receivable, mortgages or equipment. While the loan concentration is in commercial loans, the commercial portfolio is comprised of loans to many different borrowers in numerous different industries, generally located in our primary market areas. Additionally, within the commercial portfolio, there is a concentration within the healthcare industry which includes loans to physicians, nursing homes and pharmacies.

51


Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL was $35.5 million or 1.50% of loans receivable at March 31, 2023 compared to $23.8 million or 1.00% of loans receivable at December 31, 2022. The increase in the ACL of $11.7 million was primarily the result of the adoption of ASC 326, which required an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $8.9 million as of January 1, 2023. Additionally, over the course of the three months ended March 31, 2023, changes to the loan portfolio balances, qualitative factor adjustments and expected loss forecasts within the CECL calculation resulted in allowance increases of $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.3 million to the Consumer Automobile, Commercial and Residential Real Estate portfolio segments, respectively. All other portfolio segments combined experienced an allowance decrease of $0.1 million. In general, the increased allowance for the various segments was the result of the Bank management’s expectations that the markets in which it lends will experience an economic decline over the next 12 to 24 months. These changes to the allowance for credit losses totaled $2.8 million, and combined with quarterly net charge offs of $1.7 million, resulted in total credit loss provision expense of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Management continually monitors the risk in the loan portfolio through the review of the monthly delinquency reports and the Loan Review Committee. The Loan Review Committee is responsible for the determination of the adequacy of the ACL. This analysis involves both experience of the portfolio to date and the makeup of the overall portfolio. Specific loss estimates are derived for individual loans based on specific criteria such as current delinquent status, related deposit account activity, where applicable and changes in the local and national economy. When appropriate, we also consider public knowledge and verifiable information from the local market to assess risks to specific loans and the loan portfolios as a whole.

Funding Sources

The Bank considers a number of alternatives including, but not limited to, deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits remain the most significant source of funds, totaling $3.15 billion, or 97.3% of funding sources at March 31, 2023. This same information at December 31, 2022 reflected $2.57 billion in deposits representing 92.9% of funding sources. Borrowings, consisting of subordinated debt, senior term loan and FHLB and other borrowings represented 2.6% of funding sources at March 31, 2023, versus 6.7% at December 31, 2022. Repurchase agreements, which are available to large corporate customers, represented 0.2% of funding sources at March 31, 2023 and 0.4% at December 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, noninterest-bearing balances totaled $1.13 billion, compared to $1.23 billion at December 31, 2022, or 36.0% and 47.9%, respectively, of total deposits. Interest-bearing deposits totaled $2.02 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $1.34 billion at December 31, 2022, or 64.0% and 52.1%, respectively, of total deposits.

The following table presents the balance of each of the deposit categories as of the periods shown:
(Dollars in thousands)March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Demand deposits of individuals, partnerships and corporations
Noninterest-bearing demand$1,134,257 $1,231,544 
Interest-bearing demand780,713 720,074 
Savings and money markets595,152 284,447 
Time deposits, including CDs and IRAs640,693 334,417 
Total deposits$3,150,815 $2,570,482 
Time deposits that meet or exceed the FDIC insurance limit$2,811 $4,386 

Average interest-bearing deposits were $1.49 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.40 billion during the same time period in 2022 and average noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.38 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.26 billion during the same time period in 2022.

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to both short-term borrowings from FHLB and overnight repurchase agreements to fund its operations and investments. In response to recent conditions in the banking industry in March 2023, we borrowed $300 million on our FHLB line of credit to ensure liquidity. Borrowings on our FHLB line were repaid in full shortly thereafter. For details on our borrowings, refer to Note 7 – Borrowed Funds accompanying the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

52



Deposit Concentration

Our noninterest bearing deposits totaled $1.13 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $1.23 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decline in noninterest bearing deposits reflects the use of off-balance sheet deposit networks to manage liquidity and concentration risk, enhance capital and generate fee income. Off-balance sheet deposits totaled $420 million in noninterest bearing deposits and $616 million in interest bearing deposits at March 31, 2023. Off-balance sheet deposits totaled $272 million in noninterest bearing deposits and $452 million in interest bearing deposits at December 31, 2022. Gaming deposits totaled $543.2 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $652.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Of the gaming deposits, $465.1 million is with our three largest clients at March 31, 2023.

Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, stockholders’ equity increased $9.9 million to $271.3 million. This increase consists of net income of $11.2 million, other comprehensive loss of $6.8 million and stock based compensation of $0.8 million, partially offset by the impact to retained earnings of adopting ASC 326 of $6.6 million, cash dividends paid of $2.1 million and minimum tax withholding on restricted stock units issued of $0.2 million.

The growth in assets of $483.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 outpaced the growth in stockholders' equity, and the equity to assets ratio decreased from 8.5% at December 31, 2022 to 7.6% at March 31, 2023. We paid dividends to common shareholders of $2.1 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, compared to earnings of $11.3 million and $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in the dividend payout ratio decreasing to 18.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 71.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We and the Bank are also subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The Bank is required to comply with applicable capital adequacy standards established by the federal banking agencies. West Virginia state chartered banks, such as the Bank, are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions. Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets companies hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, 100% or 150% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. Detailed information concerning our risk-based capital ratios can be found in Supervision and Regulation in Item 1, Business and Note 16 – Regulatory Capital Requirements to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The optional community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework, which is issued through interagency guidance, intends to provide a simple alternative measure of capital adequacy for electing qualifying depository institutions as directed under the EGRRCPA. Under the CBLR, if a qualifying depository institution elects to use such measure, such institutions will be considered well capitalized if its ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets (i.e., leverage ratio) exceeds a 9% threshold, subject to a limited two quarter grace period, during which the leverage ratio cannot go 100 basis points below the then applicable threshold, and will not be required to calculate and report risk-based capital ratios.

The Bank elected to begin using the CBLR for the first quarter of 2021 and intends to utilize this measure for the foreseeable future. Eligibility criteria to utilize the CBLR includes the following:

●    Total assets of less than $10 billion;
●    Total trading assets plus liabilities of 5% or less of consolidated assets;
●    Total off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of consolidated assets;
●    Cannot be an advanced approaches banking organization; and
●    Leverage ratio greater than 9% or temporarily prescribed threshold established in response to COVID-19.

The Bank's CBLR at March 31, 2023 was 10.0%, which is above the well-capitalized standard of 9%. Management believes that capital continues to provide a strong base for profitable growth.

53


Liquidity

Maintenance of a sufficient level of liquidity is a primary objective of the ALCO. Liquidity, as defined by the ALCO, is the ability to meet anticipated operating cash needs, loan demand and deposit withdrawals without incurring a sustained negative impact on net interest income. It is our policy to optimize the funding of the balance sheet, continually balancing the stability and cost factors of various funding sources. We believe liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable us to meet cash obligations as they come due.

The main source of liquidity for the Bank comes through deposit growth. Liquidity is also provided from cash generated from investment maturities, principal payments from loans and income from loans and investment securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash from operating, investing and financing activities totaled $(5.3) million, $69.4 million and $470.9 million, respectively. Significant changes in cash flows during the quarter include inflows from the net increase in deposits of $580.3 million and sales of available-for-sale investment securities of $54.5 million, partially offset by cash outflows of $102.3 million to pay down FHLB and other borrowings. When appropriate, the Bank has the ability to take advantage of external sources of funds such as advances from the FHLB, national market certificate of deposit issuance programs, the Federal Reserve discount window, brokered deposits and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services. Additionally, on March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve implemented the Bank Term Funding Program to support federally-insured depository institutions in response to prevailing market uncertainty about the banking industry resulting from the insolvencies of certain regional depository institutions. These external sources often provide attractive interest rates and flexible maturity dates that enable the Bank to match funding with contractual maturity dates of assets. Securities in the investment portfolio are classified as available-for-sale and can be utilized as an additional source of liquidity.

We have an effective shelf registration covering $75 million of debt and equity securities, all of which is available, subject to authorization from the Board of Directors and market conditions, to issue debt or equity securities at our discretion. While we seek to preserve flexibility with respect to cash requirements, there can be no assurance that market conditions would permit us to sell securities on acceptable terms or at all.

Current Economic Conditions

We consider our primary market area for CoRe banking services to be comprised of North Central West Virginia and Northern Virginia. We consider our Fintech banking market to be customers located throughout the entire United States.

We believe that the current economic climate in our primary market areas reflect economic climates that are consistent with the general national economic climate. Unemployment in the United States was 3.6% for March 2023 and 2022, respectively.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.

Beginning January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13. For accounting policies and underlying accounting assumptions used in estimating our allowance for credit losses under ASU 2016-13, refer to Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.

Except as related to the adoption of ASU 2016‑13, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Recent accounting pronouncements and developments applicable us are described further in Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation accompanying the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

54


Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and coordinate our sources, uses and pricing of funds.

Credit Risk

We have counter-party risk which may arise from the possible inability of third-party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts. We work with third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk. We monitor the financial condition of these third parties on an annual basis and we do not currently expect these third parties to fail to meet their obligations.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2023, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.

Beginning January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13. We implemented changes to the policies, processes and controls over the estimation of the allowance for credit losses to support the adoption of ASU 2016-13. While many controls in operation under this new pronouncement mirror controls under prior GAAP, there were some new controls implemented.

Except as related to the adoption of ASU 2016‑13, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
