Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.’s (“Financial” or the “Company”) primary market area consists of the area commonly referred to as Region 2000 which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the Town of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell County, and the City of Lynchburg. Within the last several years, the Company expanded into Charlottesville, Roanoke, Blacksburg, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Rustburg, Wytheville, Buchanan, and Nellysford.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements, which unless otherwise noted are unaudited, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Additional information concerning the organization and business of Financial, accounting policies followed, and other related information is contained in Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

In connection with the acquisition of Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. (“PWW”), the Company’s wholly-owned investment advisory subsidiary, the Company recorded an intangible asset for customer relationships in the amount of $ 8,406,000 . The Company is using straight-line amortization over a period of 15 years , resulting in annual amortization of approximately $ 560,000 . As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the intangible asset, net of amortization, was $ 6,305,000 and $ 6,725,000 , respectively.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACL”).

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Common Share (EPS)

The following is a summary of the earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

	Three Months Ended — Sept 30,		Nine Months Ended — Sept 30,
	2025	2024	2025	2024
Net income	$ 2,752	$ 1,990	$ 6,299	$ 6,326
Weighted average number of shares outstanding - basic and diluted	4,543,338	4,543,338	4,543,338	4,543,338
Earnings per common share - basic and diluted	$ 0.61	$ 0.44	$ 1.39	$ 1.39

There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. Consequently, the weighted average shares and weighted average diluted shares were identical.

Note 4 – Debt

Capital Notes

On April 13, 2020, the Company commenced a private placement of unregistered, unsecured subordinated notes (the “2020 Offering”). Between April 13, 2020 and July 8, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 10,050,000 of 3.25 % fixed-rate notes (the “2020 Notes”). Interest was payable quarterly in arrears.

The 2020 Notes matured and were payable in full on June 30, 2025 . On the maturity date, the Company repaid the entire $ 10,050,000 principal plus accrued interest of approximately $ 82,000 . The $ 10,050,000 cash outflow is presented in the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As of September 30, 2025, there was no remaining balance outstanding under the 2020 Notes. At December 31, 2024, the balance of the 2020 Notes was $ 10,050,000 , presented net of unamortized issuance costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Other Long Term Debt

On December 29, 2021, Financial borrowed $ 11,000,000 from National Bank of Blacksburg (“NBB”) pursuant to a secured promissory note (the “NBB Note”). Prior to the modifications described below, the NBB Note bore interest at a rate of 4.00 % and was being amortized over a fifteen-year period, with a balloon payment of approximately $ 9,375,000 due on December 31, 2024. The note is secured by a first-priority lien on approximately 4.95 % of the Bank’s common stock. A portion of the proceeds was used to purchase 100 % of the capital stock of PWW, the Company’s wholly-owned investment advisory subsidiary.

On June 30, 2022, NBB agreed to modify the terms of the NBB Note, effective July 1, 2022. Pursuant to that modification, the balloon payment date was extended to December 31, 2026, from December 31, 2024, and the interest rate was reduced to 3.90 % from 4.00 %.

On August 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Note Modification Agreement and Allonge (the “Second Allonge”) with NBB, effective September 1, 2025. Under the Second Allonge, the maturity date of the NBB Note was extended to August 31, 2030, the interest rate was increased to 5.65 % per annum (from 3.90 %), and the repayment terms were re-amortized to require 60 equal monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $ 61,800 , beginning September 30, 2025, with a final balloon payment of approximately $ 7,410,000 due at maturity. The Second Allonge also provides the Company with an option, upon any prepayment of principal of $ 1,000,000 or more, to request a one-time recast of the amortization schedule over the remaining term of the loan without altering the maturity date or interest rate.

Table of Contents

Note 4 – Debt (continued)

As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on the NBB Note was approximately $ 8.8 million. The note remains secured by a first-priority lien on approximately 4.95 % of the Bank’s common stock.

Management evaluated the Second Allonge in accordance with the applicable guidance and determined that the changes represent a modification rather than an extinguishment of the existing debt. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the NBB Note continues to be presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under “other borrowings,” net of unamortized issuance costs.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an “exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s various financial instruments. In such cases, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, emphasizing exit price in the principal or most advantageous market, and in an orderly transaction (not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact depends on the facts and circumstances and requires significant judgment. The fair value selected should be a reasonable point within the range most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale

Fair values of securities available-for-sale are based on quoted prices available in an active market. If quoted prices are available, these securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products, and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow.

Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed, and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered Level 2 securities.

Derivatives Assets/Liabilities – Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs)

The Company recognizes IRLCs at fair value based on the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. All of the Company’s IRLCs are classified as Level 3.

The below tables summarize the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period presented.

There were no transfers of financial assets between hierarchy levels during the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2025.

Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Collateral Dependent Loans with an ACL

In accordance with ASC 326, the Company may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate it from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan, and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other factors.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when, based on management’s assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. The Company reevaluates the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans on a quarterly basis. The fair value of real estate collateral supporting such loans is evaluated by appraisal services using methodologies consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Based the review of management, no nonrecurring fair value adjustments were needed on collateral dependent loans at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at cost, which approximates estimated fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on prices currently offered by secondary markets for similar loans using observable market data, which is not materially different from cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. At September 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company held $ 3,766 and $ 3,616 at fair value, respectively. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within “Gain on sales of loans held for sale” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following tables whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, of Financial’s financial instruments and their placement in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, 2025, the Company owned 109 securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Of these securities, 27 were S&P rated AAA, 71 were rated AA, 4 were rated A, 2 were rated BBB, and 5 were non-rated. As of September 30, 2025, 53 of these securities were municipal issues, 44 were backed directly or indirectly by the U.S. government, and 10 were issues of publicly traded domestic corporations, and 2 were issues of non-public financial institutions. The Company monitors its municipal and corporate securities by periodically reviewing the issuer’s cash flow and revenue streams, as well as other economic factors that could affect the issuer’s ability to service and/or repay the debt.

The Company has evaluated available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for credit-related impairment at September 30, 2025, and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality; (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates; (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment; (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments; and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, nor is it likely that management will be required to sell the securities. As such, there was no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2025.

The Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio is covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies and is rated investment grade or higher. As a result, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

All held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were current, with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $ 4,227,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $ 8,754,000 and $ 30,298,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 6 – Securities (continued)

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately (market values):

 $ 51,116,000 and $ 44,865,000 , respectively, of available-for-sale securities pledged as collateral for public deposits ;

 $ 34,000,000 and $ 37,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral with correspondent banks, including the FHLBA, for collateralized lines of credit; and

 $ 25,000,000 and $ 29,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral for advances at the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window.

The amortized costs and fair values of securities at September 30, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 7 – Business Segments

Segment Overview

The Company reports three business segments:

Community Banking – Provides loans, deposits, and related banking services to retail and commercial customers primarily in Central Virginia. Revenue is primarily from net interest income.
Mortgage Banking – Originates residential mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market, typically with servicing released. Revenue consists mainly of gains on loan sales.
Investment Advisory – Offers investment advisory and financial planning services through Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. Revenue is primarily fee-based, tied to assets under management (AUM).

Segments refer business to one another when appropriate. Robert R. Chapman III, President of Financial, is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment profit (pre-tax income). Supplemental data regularly reviewed by the CODM includes total loans held for investment, total deposits, and assets under management (AUM), as these metrics provide additional insights into segment performance. Segment accounting policies are consistent with those in the consolidated financial statements.

Significant Expense Categories . Significant segment expenses reviewed regularly by the CODM and included in segment profit measures are separately presented. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, these significant approximate expenses included:

 Community Banking: Salaries and employee benefits ($ 4.16 million and $ 11.92 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025; and $ 3.66 million and $ 10.81 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024); data processing ($ 381 thousand and $ 1.98 million in 2025; and $ 794 thousand and $ 2.35 million in 2024); professional and other outside expenses ($ 689 thousand and $ 3.059 million in 2025; and $ 645 thousand and $ 1.98 million in 2024); equipment ($ 664 thousand and $ 1.94 million in 2025; and $ 618 thousand and $ 1.80 million in 2024); and occupancy ($ 447 thousand and $ 1.48 million in 2025; and $ 446 thousand and $ 1.40 million in 2024).

 Mortgage Banking: Salaries and employee benefits ($ 919 thousand and $ 2.44 million in 2025; and $ 835 thousand and $ 2.16 million in 2024); credit-related expenses ($ 158 thousand and $ 509 thousand in 2025; and $ 152 thousand and $ 457 thousand in 2024); and occupancy costs ($ 39 thousand and $ 98 thousand in 2025; and $ 25 thousand and $ 86 thousand in 2024).

 Investment Advisory: Salaries and employee benefits ($ 432 thousand and $ 1.29 million in 2025; and $ 427 thousand and $ 1.29 million in 2024); and amortization of intangible assets ($ 140 thousand and $ 420 thousand in both 2025 and 2024).

Expenses not identified as significant are presented within “Other segment items” and include general and administrative costs that support the segments’ operations, including travel, liability and property insurance, and contribution expenses.

Supplemental Segment Data

Supplemental data regularly reviewed by the CODM includes total loans held for investment, total deposits, and assets under management (AUM), as these metrics provide additional insights into segment performance:

 Community Banking : Total loans held for investment, net of allowance, were $ 653.3 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $ 636.6 million at December 31, 2024, and $ 627.1 million at September 30, 2024. Deposits totaled $ 922.1 million at September 30, 2025, $ 882.4 million at December 31, 2024, and $ 909.5 million at September 30, 2024.

 Investment Advisory : Assets under management (AUM) were $ 984.7 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $ 854.0 million at December 31, 2024, and $ 842.8 million at September 30, 2024.

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses

The Company’s primary portfolio segments align with the methodology applied in estimating the allowance for credit losses and are reflected in the disclosures as of and for the periods indicated, as set forth below. Management has determined that the classifications presented below are appropriate for identifying and managing risk within the loan portfolio.

Loan Segments:	Loan Classes:
Commercial	Commercial and Industrial Loans
Commercial Real Estate	Commercial Mortgages – Owner Occupied
	Commercial Mortgages – Non-Owner Occupied
	Commercial Construction/Land
Consumer	Consumer Open-End
	Consumer Closed-End
Residential	Residential Mortgages
	Residential Consumer Construction/Land

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate

Commercial loans are primarily underwritten based on the identified cash flows of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Borrower cash flows may not meet expectations, and the value of collateral securing these loans can fluctuate. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may include personal guarantees. Short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. For loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for repayment may substantially depend on the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans, with the collateral serving as a secondary source of repayment. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, with repayment generally dependent on the successful operation of the property or the business conducted on the property. These loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse but are geographically concentrated almost entirely within the Company’s market area. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In general, the Company avoids financing single-purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. Management also tracks the level of owner-occupied versus non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans.

Consumer and Residential

Consumer and residential segments consist of residential mortgage loans and personal loans. The consumer loan segment includes home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and other second mortgages. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1–4 family residences, while consumer personal loans may be secured by personal assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles, or may be unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit.

For residential mortgage loans secured by 1–4 family, generally owner-occupied residences, the Company typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by economic conditions in the market area, such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values. Risk is mitigated by the smaller individual loan amounts and the diversification provided by a large number of borrowers.

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued)

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company, in collaboration with its third-party model vendor and as part of ongoing model governance, implemented updates to the quantitative CECL loss models for collectively evaluated loan segments that use discounted cash flow techniques (all segments other than agricultural loans, which uses the weighted-average remaining life method). The updates (i) revised certain maximum loss-rate parameters, (ii) incorporated additional post-COVID historical loss data, and (iii) as is customary each quarter, refreshed the economic forecasts.

The model updates were first reflected in the second quarter provision for credit losses and continued to be reflected in the allowance for credit losses in the third quarter of 2025. Using the prior-period model specification as a sensitivity, management estimates that the second quarter would have resulted in a provision of approximately $ 232,000 ; under the updated specifications, the Company recorded a net recovery of $ 555,000 on loans for that quarter. The updated models remained in use throughout the third quarter, with no further specification changes. Provision activity for the third quarter primarily reflected the ongoing application of these updated models, together with normal portfolio dynamics, updated forecasts, and loan growth trends.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank’s internal risk rating system is in place to grade commercial and commercial real estate loans. Category ratings are reviewed periodically by lenders and the credit review area of the Bank based on the borrower’s individual situation. Additionally, internal and external monitoring and review of credits are conducted on an annual basis.

Below is a summary and definition of the Bank’s risk rating categories:

RATING 1	Excellent
RATING 2	Above Average
RATING 3	Satisfactory
RATING 4	Acceptable / Low Satisfactory
RATING 5	Monitor
RATING 6	Special Mention
RATING 7	Substandard
RATING 8	Doubtful
RATING 9	Loss

We segregate commercial and commercial real estate loans into the above categories based on the following criteria and we review the characteristics of each rating at least annually, generally during the first quarter. The characteristics of these ratings are as follows:

 “Pass.” These are loans having risk ratings of 1 through 4. Pass loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue. When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.

 “Monitor.” These are loans having a risk rating of 5. Monitor loans have currently acceptable risk but may have the potential for a specific defined weakness in the borrower’s operations and the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history may currently or in the future be characterized by late payments. The Bank’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

 “Special Mention.” These are loans having a risk rating of 6. Special Mention loans have 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 Bank ’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. These loans do warrant more than routine monitoring due to a weakness caused by adverse events.

‎

Table of Contents

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued)

 “Substandard.” These are loans having a risk rating of 7. Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Bank’s credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Bank. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet our definition of impaired unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provides evidence that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due.

 “Doubtful.” These are loans having a risk rating of 8. Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high.

 “Loss.” These are loans having a risk rating of 9. Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

There are no loans classified as doubtful or loss as of September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only when received in cash. The Company did no t record any interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024. The Company also reversed all previously accrued but unpaid interest on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income cumulatively would have approximated $ 11,000 and $ 66,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $ 1,000 and $ 15,000 for the comparable periods in 2024. ‎

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued)

Occasionally, the Bank modifies loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing principal forgiveness, term extensions, interest rate reductions, or payment deferrals. Because the effect of most modifications is already included in the allowance for credit losses due to the measurement methodologies used in its estimate, the allowance is typically not adjusted upon modification. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is charged against the allowance for credit losses.

There were no loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, no previously modified loans had defaulted within the past twelve months.

ACL on Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, and both standby and commercial letters of credit, when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and such extension is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, as well as an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated life, using the same loss rates that are applied in computing the allowance for loan credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments was $ 760 thousand at September 30, 2025 , and is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for unfunded commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
Balance, June 30, 2025	$ 678
Provision for credit losses	82
Balance September 30, 2025	$ 760
Balance, December 31, 2024	$ 543

Other Real Estate Owned

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate for which foreclosure was in process. The Company held no residential real estate properties in other real estate owned as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 9 – Recent accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose specified types of expenses included in the captions presented on the face of the income statement, along with certain related information. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are those that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date.

Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that no subsequent events occurred requiring accrual or disclosure, other than those already disclosed in the footnotes to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Resu lts of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made in this document and in any documents incorporated by reference that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding management’s plans, objectives, or goals for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of revenues, earnings, or other performance measures. Forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations and, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements generally may be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “should,” “will,” “intend,” or similar expressions. Shareholders should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect the future financial results of Financial and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. These factors, many of which are beyond Financial’s control, include, but are not limited to, the following:

 Problems with technology utilized by us, including potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft, cyber-crime, cyber-threats, and the Company’s ability to maintain the security of its data processing and information technology systems.

 Operating, legal, and regulatory risks, including the effects of legislative or regulatory developments affecting the financial industry generally or Financial specifically, such as government legislation and policies (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its related regulations), which change from time to time and over which we have no control, and increased competition from other providers of financial services due to such regulations.

 Economic, market, political, and competitive forces affecting Financial's banking and other businesses, including changes in interest rates, monetary policy, and general economic conditions, which may impact net interest income, credit quality, loan demand, or overall conditions in our market area.

 Geopolitical risks, including economic and political tensions with China, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and potential expansion of combatants, sanctions on Russia, and the potential impact of tariffs, trade restrictions, or changes in U.S. trade policy on businesses in our market area and our business and agricultural borrowers, all of which may have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity and could indirectly affect credit quality, loan demand, or overall economic conditions in our market area.

 The ability to maintain adequate liquidity by retaining deposit customers and secondary funding sources, especially if the Company’s or banking industry’s reputation becomes damaged.

 The adequacy of the level of the Company’s allowance for credit losses, the amount of credit loss provisions required in future periods, and the failure of assumptions underlying the allowance for credit losses.

 Reliance on our management team, including our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

 Changes in the value of real estate securing loans made by the Bank.

 Adoption of new accounting standards or changes in existing standards.

 Compliance or operational risks related to new products, services, ventures, or lines of business, if any, that Financial may pursue or implement.

 The risk that Financial’s analysis of these risks and forces is incorrect or that the strategies developed to address them are unsuccessful.

 The stability of the overall banking industry in the United States.

 Prolonged U.S. federal government shutdowns (lapses in appropriations), which may disrupt economic activity, delay or reduce federal payments and guaranty programs (including small‑business lending), constrain capital markets or regulatory processes, and reduce the availability of government economic data relied upon by market participants and monetary policymakers.

 Developments related to digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, and changes in related laws, supervisory expectations, capital or accounting frameworks, customer adoption, or payment rails, any of which could affect deposit flows, liquidity management, third‑party relationships, operational resiliency, compliance obligations, or reputational risk.

 Our ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares, or otherwise return capital to shareholders, which is subject to our capital position and earnings, applicable laws and regulations (including capital buffer and stress‑testing requirements), regulatory approvals or supervisory actions, and the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

 Changes in federal, state, or local tax laws, regulations, rates, or administrative interpretations and the timing of regulatory guidance or implementation that could affect our effective tax rate, deferred tax assets, capital planning, or after‑tax earnings.

 Other risks and uncertainties set forth in this Quarterly l Report on Form 10-Q and, from time to time, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 Other risks, uncertainties, and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

These factors should be considered when evaluating the forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the most recently filed Form 10-K.

GENERAL

Critical Accounting Policies

Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.’s (“Financial” or the “Company”) financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). As a community bank primarily serving central Virginia, the financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred, such as lending activities tied to local real estate markets and small business operations. A variety of factors—particularly regional economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, and changes in real estate values in our market area—could affect the ultimate value obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability. In addition, GAAP itself may evolve from one previously acceptable method to another, potentially altering the timing of how these events impact our transactions, even if the underlying economics remain unchanged.

The Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (“ACL”) is management’s estimate of the current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio and held-to-maturity securities portfolio. With the exception of loans related to agriculture, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate its current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio and held-to-maturity securities portfolio . Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in estimating risk. For information on the Company’s policies on the ACL, please refer to Note 2 – “Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations – Allowance and Provision for Credit losses” below for further discussion of the allowance for credit losses.

Overview

The following overview of our business has not materially changed since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Financial is a bank holding company headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. Our primary business is retail banking which we conduct through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of the James (which we refer to as the “Bank”). We conduct four other business activities: mortgage banking through the Bank’s Mortgage Division (which we refer to as “Mortgage”), investment services through the Bank’s Investment division (which we refer to as “Investment Division”), insurance activities through BOTJ Insurance, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, (which we refer to as “Insurance Business”), and as of December 31, 2021, investment advisory services through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. (which we refer to as “PWW”).

The Bank is a Virginia banking corporation headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a state-chartered bank in 1998 and began banking operations in July 1999. The Bank was organized to engage in general retail and commercial banking business. The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution that provides varied banking services to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and professional concerns. Historically, our primary market area has been the Central Virginia, Region 2000 area, which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the Town of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell County, and the City of Lynchburg. The Bank has expanded to other areas in Virginia, specifically Roanoke, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Blacksburg, Lexington, Rustburg, Buchanan, and Nellysford. The Bank strives to provide its customers with products comparable to statewide regional banks located in its market areas, while maintaining the prompt response time and level of service of a community bank . Management believes this operating strategy has particular appeal in the Bank’s market areas.

Table of Contents

We conduct our investment advisory business through PWW, which Financial acquired on December 31, 2021. PWW is a Lynchburg, Virginia-based investment advisory firm that has approximately $ 984,746,000 in assets under management and advisement as of September 30, 2025. PWW generates revenue primarily through investment advisory fees.

The Bank’s principal office is located at 828 Main Street, Lynchburg, Virginia 24504 and its telephone number is (434) 846-2000. The Bank also maintains a website at www.bankofthejames.bank.

Our operating results depend primarily upon the Bank’s net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on earning assets—consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, and other investments—and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting principally of deposits and other borrowings. The Bank’s net income is also affected by its provision for credit losses, as well as the level of its noninterest income (including gains on sales of loans held for sale, service charges, and investment advisory fees) and its noninterest expenses (including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, data processing expenses, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums, expenses in complying with regulatory requirements, miscellaneous other expenses, franchise taxes, and income taxes).

The Bank intends to enhance its profitability by increasing its market share in its service areas, providing additional services to customers, and controlling costs.

The Bank services its banking customers through the following locations in Virginia:

The Investment division and the Insurance Business operate primarily out of offices located at the Main Street Office. PWW operates our investment advisory business primarily from its offices at 1925 Atherholt Road in Lynchburg.

In September 2025, the Bank opened its full-service branch in Nellysford, Virginia and closed the temporary branch it had been operating.

The Bank continuously evaluates areas within our service areas to identify viable branch locations. Based on this evaluation, the Bank may acquire additional suitable sites.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Bank may open additional branches during the next two fiscal years. Although numerous factors could influence the Bank’s expansion plans, the following discussion provides a general overview of the additional branch locations that the Bank currently is considering, including the following property that we own and are holding for expansion:

 Real property located at 1925 Atherholt Road, Lynchburg, Virginia . On December 31, 2021, the Bank purchased real property located at 1925 Atherholt Road, Lynchburg, Virginia. The building currently serves as the offices for Financial’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PWW. PWW is currently leasing the space from the Bank on a month-to-month basis. While the Bank currently does not have a timeline for a branch at this location, the space is attractive for a branch due to its close proximity to Centra’s Lynchburg General Hospital. The investment needed to upfit the property will be minimal.

Although the Bank cannot predict the financial impact of each new branch with certainty, management generally expects that each new branch will become profitable within 12 to 18 months of operation.

The Bank continues to evaluate suitable branch locations and may acquire properties for expansion in the next 12 months. Future branch openings are subject to regulatory approval.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Bank is party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk exceeding the amount recognized in the balance sheets and could impact the overall liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept or use these commitments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2025	December 31, 2024
Commitments to extend credit	$ 201,227	$ 182,522
Letters of Credit	2,458	3,507
Total	$ 203,685	$ 186,029

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Bank’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Bank’s credit evaluation of the customer.

The Bank has rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans through its Mortgage Division. The Bank has entered into corresponding commitments with third-party investors to sell each of these loans that close. No other obligation exists. As a result of these contractual relationships with these investors, the Bank is not exposed to losses, nor will it ultimately realize gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion represents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition of Financial as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the results of operations of Financial for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere herein. All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Financial Condition Summary

September 30, 2025 as Compared to December 31, 2024

Total assets were $1,020,125,000 on September 30, 2025, compared with $979,244,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 4.18%. The increase in total assets was primarily due to growth in federal funds sold, securities available-for-sale, and loans (net of the allowance for credit losses), reflecting continued loan demand and prudent liquidity management.

Total deposits increased from $882,404,000 as of December 31, 2024, to $919,796,000 on September 30, 2025, an increase of 4.24%. This growth was largely driven by customer inflows into money market and time deposit products as well as non-interet bearing deposits. The Company continues to utilize the reciprocal portion of the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) program for customers requiring full FDIC insurance, and may re-deploy the non-reciprocal option as market and liquidity conditions warrant.

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased to $659,586,000 on September 30, 2025, from $643,596,000 on December 31, 2024, an increase of 2.37%. Growth was driven primarily by increases in commercial and commercial real estate portfolios, reflecting ongoing regional business activity, while residential and consumer lending levels remained stable.

The following summarizes the position of the Bank’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated by dollar amount and percentages (dollar in thousands):

	September 30, 2025 — Amount	Percentage	December 31, 2024 — Amount	Percentage
Commercial	$ 61,987	9.40%	$ 66,418	10.32%
Commercial Real Estate	379,986	57.61%	359,415	55.84%
Consumer	85,428	12.95%	78,310	12.17%
Residential	132,185	20.04%	139,453	21.67%
Total loans	$ 659,586	100.00%	$ 643,596	100.00%

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale and net of the allowance for loan losses, increased to $653,288,000 on September 30, 2025, from $636,552,000 on December 31, 2024, an increase of 2.63%. Growth was driven primarily by increases in commercial and commercial real estate portfolios, reflecting ongoing regional business activity, while residential and consumer lending levels remained stable.

Loans held for sale totaled $3,766,000 at September 30, 2025, compared to $3,616,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 4.15%, due primarily to normal quarterly fluctuations in mortgage production and secondary market sales.

Subsegments of the loan portfolio are set forth in Note 8 of our financial statements. As a community bank , the Bank is committed to growing assets through quality loan growth by providing credit to small and mid-size businesses and individuals within the markets it serves. Based on the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2025, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and construction and land development loans totaled $230,162,000, representing approximately 34.9% of total loans.

We have expertise and a long history of originating and managing commercial real estate loans. Our strong credit underwriting process includes management and board oversight. We perform rigorous monitoring, stress testing and reporting of these portfolios at the management and board levels, and we continue to monitor concentration levels in our commercial real estate loans monthly.

The Bank closely monitors concentrations within its commercial real estate loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2025, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $215,798,000, or approximately 32.7% of total loans. This amount was calculated by purpose code and is consistent with the Call Report that the Bank files with the FDIC. The Bank has minimal exposure to loans secured by large office buildings or shopping centers (less than 5% of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio). The majority of our non-owner occupied commercial loans are secured by smaller, multi-tenant properties diversified across various industries and geographies within our market areas.

Table of Contents

The Bank does not have any non-owner occupied commercial loans secured by properties in major city centers. We have not seen an increase in delinquencies in loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate.

In addition, to help manage risk, we actively manage and monitor our commercial real estate risk through the following, when appropriate:

Origination and Analysis

We have a thorough loan origination process. For all CRE loans secured by real estate collateral, we require an appraisal or valuation at the time of origination. We generally do not approve loans with a loan-to-value ratio exceeding 80%. An individual property cash flow analysis is performed, and, if appropriate, a global cash flow analysis is also conducted. We generally require a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.2x.

Ongoing Risk Management

Following origination, we continue to manage risk. Our ongoing risk management includes:

 Utilizing enhanced risk rating systems specific to CRE exposures;

 Obtaining regular third-party loan reviews of the CRE portfolio;

 Obtaining subsequent appraisals when either required by regulations or dictated by our internal policies;

 Stress testing of property cash flows using various vacancy and rate scenarios during underwriting;

 Regularly monitoring local market conditions and property sector trends;

 Meeting at least annually with clients to which the Bank has significant exposure, along with market-level monitoring of vacancy rates and rental trends;

 Performing annual reviews, including the review of current financial information, rate shocking, and collecting and analyzing rent rolls and operating statements at least annually; and

 Utilizing a risk rating system that incorporates both property and borrower performance metrics.

Credit Enhancements

Where appropriate, we mitigate risk by obtaining credit enhancements. Typical enhancements to CRE loans include personal guarantees, secondary collateral, and liquid collateral.

The following table sets forth information for non-owner occupied CRE loans for the four largest categories of loans (classified by purpose code and collateral description) having the highest current principal balance:

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were $1,895,000 at September 30, 2025, compared with $1,640,000 at December 31, 2024. As discussed under “Results of Operations—Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses,” management has provided for any anticipated losses on these loans in the allowance for credit losses.

Loan payments received on nonaccrual loans are first applied to principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest is reversed, accrual of interest is discontinued until repayment is assured, and additional provisions may be necessary for actual losses.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) represents real property acquired by the Bank for debts previously contracted, including through foreclosure or deeds in lieu of foreclosure. We had no OREO at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Bank neither acquired nor disposed of any OREO during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025..

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $85,451,000 at September 30, 2025, from $73,309,000 at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash due from correspondents, cash in vault, and overnight investments (including federal funds sold). The increase was primarily attributable to higher federal funds sold balances, which rose to $57,001,000 at September 30, 2025, compared to $50,022,000 at December 31, 2024. Deposit inflows during the period allowed management to deploy excess liquidity into overnight Fed funds. Cash and cash equivalents remain subject to routine fluctuations in transactional and professional settlement accounts.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased slightly to $3,594,000 at September 30, 2025, from $3,606,000 at December 31, 2024, due to normal net amortization of premiums.

Table of Contents

Securities available-for-sale, carried at fair market value, increased to $202,506,000 at September 30, 2025, from $187,916,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of $14,590,000, reflecting portfolio growth and reinvestment of excess liquidity, as well as an increase in fair value resulting from a decline in interest rates from December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, unrealized losses on securities available‑for‑sale totaled $19.928 million pre‑tax and $15.743 million after tax (21% tax effect). These losses are primarily related to market interest rate movements, and management does not expect to realize them, as the Bank has both the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery or maturity.

Restricted stock, consisting of stock in the Federal Reserve, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBA), and our correspondent banks, totaled $1,828,000 at September 30, 2025, compared with $1,821,000 at December 31, 2024. These holdings are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment based on par value recoverability rather than temporary market declines.

Liquidity and Capital

Liquid assets, on a consolidated basis, were $287,957,000 on September 30, 2025, in the form of cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale investments. This represents an increase from December 31, 2024, when liquid assets totaled approximately $261,225,000, primarily reflecting higher balances in federal funds sold and investment securities.

The Bank has pledged (market values):

 approximately $34,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral with correspondent banks, including the FHLBA, for collateralized lines of credit;

 approximately $51,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as security for public deposits; and

 approximately $25,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral for advances at the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window.

If additional liquidity is needed, the Bank can purchase up to $53,000,000 of Fed funds through correspondent relationships and borrow from the FHLBA by pledging additional investments. In addition, the Bank has borrowing capacity with the FHLBA of approximately $17,000,000 related to pledged loans. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank had no borrowings from any of these sources. Management believes that liquid assets were adequate at September 30, 2025 and anticipates additional liquidity from deposit growth and loan repayments.

As of September 30, 2025, the Bank had no borrowings from any of these sources. Management believes that liquid assets were adequate at September 30, 2025. Management anticipates that additional liquidity will be provided by the growth in deposit accounts and loan repayments from customers.

While we have not experienced unusual pressure on deposit balances or liquidity, management continues to closely monitor sources and uses of funds to meet cash flow requirements while seeking to maximize profits. The Company’s total uninsured deposits—amounts, subject to aggregation rules, that exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000—were approximately $276,000,000, or 30% of total deposits, at September 30, 2025. These were estimated using the same methodologies and assumptions as regulatory reporting.

At September 30, 2025, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 9.02%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.41%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.20%. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank’s regulatory capital levels exceeded those established for well-capitalized institutions.

The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased modestly from December 31, 2024, primarily due to the dividend payment to Financial of $5,000,000 during 2025, which Financial used toward the retirement of approximately $10,050,000 in debt at maturity. This impact was partially offset by net income of $6,298,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $76,972,000 at September 30, 2025, compared with $64,865,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 18.66%, primarily reflecting retained earnings growth and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to

(1) Includes the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% for all ratios, excluding the Tier 1 capital to average total assets ratio.

The above tables set forth the capital position and analysis for the Bank only. Because total assets on a consolidated basis are less than $3,000,000,000, Financial is not subject to the consolidated capital requirements imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act. Consequently, Financial does not calculate its financial ratios on a consolidated basis. If calculated, the capital ratios for the Company on a consolidated basis at September 30, 2025 would be lower than those of the Bank, because a portion of the proceeds from the sale of notes previously issued by the holding company were contributed to the Bank as equity.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule establishing a regulatory capital framework for smaller, less complex financial institutions. The rule was fully implemented on January 1, 2019, and established a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. As a result, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets of 4.00% (exclusive of the capital conservation buffer), a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer), and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer). Failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank and Financial to pay dividends, repurchase shares, or pay discretionary bonuses. The rule also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Earnings Summary

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $2,752,000 and $6,298,000, respectively, compared with net income of $1,990,000 and $6,326,000 for the same periods in 2024. This represents an increase of $762,000, or 38.3%, for the three-month period, and a slight decrease of $28,000, or 0.4%, for the nine-month period.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were each $0.61 and $1.39 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $0.44 and $1.39 for the same periods in 2024.

The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by higher net interest income, lower interest expense, and growth in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. The slight decrease in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024, was primarily due to higher operating expenses associated with technology investments and personnel growth, which offset improvements in revenue and credit performance.

A more detailed analysis of the components that impacted net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same periods in 2024, follows:

 Net interest income increased to $8,300,000 and $24,269,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $7,509,000 and $21,550,000 for the same periods in 2024, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio and improved yields on earning assets.

 The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $91,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $92,000 for the same period in 2024. For the nine-month period, the Company recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses of $301,000, compared with a recovery of provision of credit losses of $584,000 in 2024.

 Noninterest income increased to $4,169,000 and $11,527,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $3,823,000 and $11,321,000 for the same periods in 2024, driven by higher wealth management fees and loan sale gains.

 Noninterest expense increased to $9,160,000 and $28,441,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $8,776,000 and $25,602,000 for the same periods in 2024, primarily reflecting increases in salaries and benefits, and, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consulting fees incurred in negotiation the Bank’s core provider contract.

These operating results produced an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 15.24% and 12.34% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared with 12.86% and 13.95% for the same periods in 2024. The annualized return on average assets was 1.07% and 0.83% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared with 0.80% and 0.86% for the same periods in 2024.

The improvement in profitability during the third quarter of 2025 reflects continued balance sheet growth, disciplined funding cost management, and stable asset quality, while year-to-date results were tempered by higher operating expenses associated with technology initiatives and regulatory compliance investments.

See “ Noninterest Income” below for mortgage business and wealth management segment discussions.

Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest income increased to $11,771,000 and $34,643,000, respectively, compared with $11,563,000 and $33,007,000 for the same periods in 2024. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to higher average loan balances and improved yields on earning assets. The average rate on loans was approximately 5.70% and 5.65%% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with 5.65% and 5.45% for the same periods in 2024. Yields on total interest-earning assets also rose, driven by loan repricing and origination of new loans at higher market rates.

Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest expense was $3,471,000 and $10,374,000, compared with $4,054,000 and $11,457,000 for the same periods in 2024—a decline of 14.4% and 9.5%, respectively. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from repricing of maturing time deposits and money market accounts at lower rates, along with disciplined deposit pricing strategies during the period. The Company’s average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and total interest-bearing liabilities was approximately 1.72% and 1.73%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with 2.01% and 2.05% for the same period in 2024. The Company’s average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and total interest-bearing liabilities was approximately 1.70% and 1.74%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with 1.93% and 1.97% for the same period in 2024.

The fundamental source of the Bank’s net revenue is net interest income —the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets (primarily loans, investment securities, and other investments) and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities (principally deposits and other borrowings).

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $8,300,000 and $24,269,000, respectively, compared to $7,509,000 and $21,550,000 for the same periods in 2024, representing increases of 10.5% and 12.6%.

The net interest margin was 3.44% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 3.37% for the nine-month period, compared with 3.16% and 3.07% for the corresponding periods in 2024. Margin expansion was largely the result of rising loan yields and lower funding costs , reflecting an improved balance between asset sensitivity and funding mix. Although short-term interest rates have stabilized, future rate movements could continue to influence the margin depending on loan repricing and deposit rate competition. For example,

 While management does not anticipate it will be necessary to raise deposit rates, if we need to raise rates on deposits, there likely would be an adverse impact on our margin and profitability.

 A stabilizing interest rate environment is likely to allow us to increase our net interest margin.

 In the event of rapid rate decreases, our net interest margin could come under pressure in the short term, as the Bank is currently asset-sensitive.

Other financial impacts could occur, though such potential impacts are unknown at this time.

Financial’s net interest margin analysis and average balance sheets are shown in Schedule I below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is comprised primarily of fees and charges on transactional deposit accounts, gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale, commissions on sales of investments, fees generated from treasury management services, fees generated from our investment advisory business, and bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest income totaled $4,169,000 and $11,527,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,823,000 and $11,321,000 for the same periods in 2024, representing increases of 9.1% and 1.8%, respectively. The improvement for the quarter was primarily attributable to higher gains on sales of loans held for sale, increased wealth management fees, and stable service fee income, partially offset by lower other income and reduced gains on available-for-sale securities.

The major components of noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the comparable periods in 2024, were as follows:

 Gains on sale of loans held for sale , primarily through the Mortgage Division, totaled $1,242,000 and $3,668,000 , compared with $1,326,000 and $3,526,000 for the same periods in 2024.

 Wealth management fees increased to $1,362,000 and $3,917,000 , up from $1,244,000 and $3,583,000 for the comparable 2024 periods, reflecting continued growth in client assets under management.

 Service charges, fees, and commissions were $1,046,000 and $3,002,000 , compared with $991,000 and $2,930,000 for the same periods in 2024, reflecting steady transactional and deposit activity.

 Life insurance incom e grew slightly to $195,000 and $573,000 , from $189,000 and $531,000 , driven by the continued accumulation of cash surrender value on bank-owned life insurance policies.

 Other income was $297,000 and $340,000 , compared with $31,000 and $669,000 in the same 2024 periods. The increase for the three month period was due to SBIC fund income. The decrease for the nine month periods reflects reflects lower miscellaneous gains and fewer one-time income items.

 Gains on sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $27,000 for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared with $42,000 and $82,000 for the corresponding 2024 periods.

The increase in noninterest income for the third quarter demonstrates the Company’s ability to generate consistent fee-based revenue, particularly in wealth management and mortgage banking, despite lower securities gains and fewer nonrecurring items.

The Bank, through its Mortgage division , originates both conforming and non-conforming consumer residential mortgage loans in the markets we serve. As part of the Bank’s overall risk management strategy, all loans originated and closed by the Mortgage Division are presold to major national mortgage banking or financial institutions. The Mortgage Division’s primary source of revenue is gains on sale of loans held for sale. The Mortgage Division assumes no credit or interest rate risk on these mortgages, except in limited circumstances such as first payment default.

Purchase mortgage originations totaled $42,830,847 and $123,948,096, or 81.22% and 84.36%, respectively, of total mortgage loans originated in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $31,015,512 and $120,657,357, or 84.98% and 83.02%, respectively, of the total mortgage loans originated in the same periods in 2024. Because of a relatively higher mortgage interest rate environment, management anticipates that in the short term, purchase mortgage originations will continue to represent a significant percentage of mortgage originations. Management also believes that a continued elevated interest environment could continue to limit refinancing activity.

Mortgage rates increased dramatically in 2022 and 2023 and, despite recent declines, remain elevated compared with recent history. While rates have generally stabilized or declined since then, he elevated interest rate environment continues to have a negative impact on mortgage origination volume compared to pre-2022 levels. Due to the uncertainty surrounding current and near-term economic conditions—arising from inflation, as well as geopolitical and economic concerns—management cannot predict future mortgage rates. Management also believes that relatively high interest rates may continue to put pressure on revenue from the mortgage segment.

Our Investment division provides brokerage services through an agreement with a third-party broker-dealer. Pursuant to this arrangement, the third-party broker-dealer operates a service center adjacent to one of the Bank’s branches. The center is staffed by two dual employees of the Bank and the broker-dealer. Investment receives commissions on transactions generated and, in some cases, ongoing management fees such as mutual fund 12b-1 fees. The Investment division ’s financial impact on our consolidated revenue has been minimal. Although management cannot predict the financial impact of Investment with certainty, management anticipates that the Investment division ’s revenue as a percentage of our overall noninterest income will remain minimal in 2025.

We conduct our investment advisory business through PWW , which Financial acquired on December 31, 2021. PWW, based in Lynchburg, Virginia, had approximately $984,747,000 in assets under management and advisement as of September 30, 2025, as compared to $853,997,000 on December 31, 2024. This increase was due to both the inflow of new assets of over $32,000,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and investment returns on the assets under management. PWW operates as a subsidiary of Financial and generates revenue primarily through investment advisory fees, which vary based on the value of assets under management. These assets may fluctuate due to client action and market conditions. Despite potential fluctuations, we anticipate that PWW will continue to contribute meaningfully to the Company’s consolidated net income.

The Bank provides insurance and annuity products to its customers and others through its Insurance subsidiary. The Bank has three employees licensed to sell insurance products through Insurance. Insurance generates minimal revenue, and its financial impact on our consolidated revenue has been immaterial. Management anticipates that Insurance’s impact on noninterest income will remain immaterial for the remainder of 2025.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased to $9,160,000 and $28,441,000, from $8,776,000 and $25,602,000 for the same periods in 2024 — representing increases of 4.4% for the quarter and 11.1% year-to-date. The increase primarily resulted from higher salaries and employee benefits and continued investment in technology, data processing, and customer-facing systems.

Table of Contents

Total personnel expense (salaries and employee benefits) was $5,516,000 and $15,650,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4,920,000 and $14,256,000 for the same periods in 2024, reflecting merit increases, normal annual adjustments, and staffing additions to support commercial and retail growth, as well as accruals for anticipated year-end employee compensation.

Professional and other outside expenses totaled $725,000 and $3,194,000 for the three and nine months ended September 2025, compared to $688,000 and $2,125,000 for the same periods in 2024. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to a one-time consulting fees incurred earlier in the year related to the core processing system contract renewal.

Data processing expense totaled $381,000 and $1,984,000 for the three and nine months ended September 2025, compared to $794,000 and $2,352,000. The decrease in data processing costs was driven by lower ongoing fees following the renewal of the core processing system contract and the application of vendor credits.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $523,000 and $697,000, respectively, for the quarter, up modestly from $514,000 and $640,000 in the prior-year period, reflecting ongoing branch improvements and facility maintenance.

Other noninterest expenses, including marketing, credit-related costs, FDIC insurance, and amortization of intangibles, totaled $1,318,000 for the quarter, up from $1,240,000 in the same period of 2024, primarily due to higher insurance and operating costs associated with the Company’s growth.

The Company remains focused on managing expenses efficiently while investing in strategic initiatives to support long-term growth, technology advancement, and customer engagement.

Management anticipates that the amended core-service provider contract, with its 65-month term which began April 1, 2025, will generate significant cost savings—projected at over $40,000 per month over the life of the agreement—as compared to our previous arrangement, subject to standard provisions regarding early termination or adjustment.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, is adequate to absorb expected losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses increases the allowance, while loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduce it. The provision is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. Loans with a risk rating of 7 or below that are significantly past due, and loans with borrowers whose performance and financial condition indicate the Bank will likely be unable to collect all amounts when due, are evaluated for specific impairment. The general reserve component is based on an evaluation of general economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, and loan performance measures.

As part of our regular model governance cycle, we worked with our external CECL vendor in the second quarter of 2025 to update several inputs in our discounted cash flow models including the following: raising certain loss-rate ceilings, incorporating post-pandemic loss history, and updating prepayment and curtailment expectations. While these refinements better align the models with current credit conditions, they also shifted the second quarter’s allowance calculation (which impacted the nine months ended September 30, 2025) from what would otherwise have been a charge to earnings to a net recovery. See Note 8 for additional details. Management made no changes to the model in the third quarter 2025.

Based on the application of the credit-loss calculation, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $91,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and a recovery of provision for credit losses of $300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a provision of $92,000 and a recovery of $584,000 for the same periods in 2024. The provision attributable to unfunded commitments and recorded in other liabilities was $82,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

At September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $6,298,000, or 0.95% of total loans outstanding, compared with $7,044,000, or 1.09%, at December 31, 2024, and $7,078,000, or 1.12%, at September 30, 2024. The decrease from year-end reflected continued stable credit quality, limited charge-offs, and ongoing strong loan performance (see Note 8 for detail). The allowance for credit losses for individually evaluated loans was $71,000 September 30, 2025 as compared to $193,000 at December 31, 2024.

Charged-off loans, which are loans that management deems uncollectible, are charged against the allowance for credit losses and constitute realized losses. The Bank recorded net charge-offs of approximately $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with net recoveries of $21,000 for the same period in 2024. While a charged-off loan may subsequently be collected, such recoveries generally are realized over an extended period of time.

At September 30, 2025, nonperforming loans totaled approximately $1,895,000, compared with $1,640,000 at December 31, 2024, and $1,295,000 at September 30, 2024. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income cumulatively would have approximated $66,000, $72,000, and $16,000, as of the applicable dates.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming loans represented 0.29% of total loans at September 30, 2025, compared with 0.25% at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses for loans to total loans ratio was 0.95%, while the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans ratio was 332.35%, indicating a strong coverage position.

The Company continues to maintain disciplined credit standards and conservative lending practices. Credit metrics remain solid across all portfolio segments, and management believes the current allowance is appropriate to absorb expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $466,000 and $1,357,000, respectively, compared to $474,000 and $1,527,000 for the same periods in 2024. This represents an effective tax rate of approximately 14.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 17.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with 19.2% and 19.4% for the corresponding 2024 periods.

The Company’s income tax expense decreased for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of amended federal and state income tax returns filed for the 2021 through 2024 tax years. The amended filings resulted in a tax overpayment, which reduced the Company’s third-quarter tax payment and carried through to the year-to-date results. In addition, the effective tax rate was favorably affected by higher levels of tax-exempt income from municipal securities and tax-advantaged earnings on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). These factors collectively reduced the Company’s effective tax rate below the statutory rate for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods.
