• Acquisition of VA Wholesale Mortgage Incorporated (VAWM) in August 2025 expanded mortgage origination, contributed to higher non-interest income and expenses, and is expected to drive future growth.

• Comprehensive income for the nine months was $2.9 million, up from $2.6 million, driven by reduced unrealized losses on securities.

Financial highlights

• Net interest margin rose to 3.24% in Q3 2025, up 11 basis points sequentially and 10 basis points year-over-year.

• Net interest income for Q3 2025 was $2.83 million, up $10,000 year-over-year and up from $2.7 million in Q2 2025; for the nine months, it was $8.13 million, down $48,000.

• Non-interest income rose by $217,000 in Q3, mainly from mortgage commissions; total non-interest income was $571,000, driven by $192,000 in mortgage fees from VAWM.

• Non-interest expense increased by $280,000 year-over-year, mainly due to VAWM acquisition costs and higher salaries.

• Deposits increased by $19.9 million (6.4%) to $329.1 million, and all short-term borrowings and FHLB advances were paid off by quarter-end.
