Announces 2023 Earnings By: FVCBankcorp, Inc. via Business Wire January 23, 2024 at 16:00 PM EST FVCBankcorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FVCB) (the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. Fourth Quarter Selected Financial Highlights Strong Credit Quality. Nonperforming loans totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2023, or 0.08% of total assets, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 59%, from the prior year ended December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs of $49 thousand were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023, or 0.01% of average total loans. Prudent Balance Sheet Repositioning. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its investment portfolio totaling $61.4 million of book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54% and a projected earn-back of less than three years. This repositioning resulted in an after-tax loss of $8.5 million. Low Uninsured Deposit Metrics Compared to Total Deposits. As of December 31, 2023, estimated uninsured deposits improved to 31.1% of total deposits from 39.7% at December 31, 2022, when excluding collateralized deposits. The Company has sufficient capital and liquidity resources to satisfy these obligations. Diverse Sources of Available Liquidity. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s liquidity position, which includes cash totaling $60.5 million, unencumbered investment securities of $162.1 million, and available unsecured and secured borrowing capacity totaling $705.1 million, was significantly in excess of its estimated uninsured deposits (excluding collateralized deposits) totaling $574.6 million, or 31.1% of total deposits. Strong, Well Capitalized Balance Sheet. All of FVCbank’s (the “Bank”) regulatory capital components and ratios are well in excess of thresholds required to be considered "well capitalized", with total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.83% at December 31, 2023. The tangible common equity ("TCE") to total assets ("TA") ratio for the Bank increased to 10.12% at December 31, 2023, from 8.86% at December 31, 2022. The Bank’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, and therefore the decrease in market value of these securities is fully reflected in the TCE/TA ratio. As a result of the above mentioned repositioning, the Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.28 diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $25.0 million, or $1.35 diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2023 results include after-tax losses of $12.2 million for first quarter 2023 and fourth quarter 2023 securities sale. In addition, the Company reduced its future occupancy expense through a reduction in office space. The Company wrote-off two leases totaling $273,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 to reduce excess office space and to consolidate two branch locations in Montgomery County, Maryland. Lastly, the Company reduced staffing which resulted in severance costs of $63,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These initiatives reduce operating expenses in 2024 by over $1.0 million. Commercial bank operating earnings, which exclude losses on the above-noted securities sales, office space reduction costs, severance costs, and 2022 merger-related expenses, all net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $280 thousand. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $0.21 and $0.22, respectively. For the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023, commercial bank operating earnings included after-tax reversal of provision for credit losses totaling $569 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, commercial bank operating earnings were $16.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0.90 and $1.36, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, pre-tax pre-provision operating income (which also excludes losses on securities sales, office space reduction costs and severance costs) was $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, an increase of $206 thousand. The Company considers commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income useful comparative financial measures of the Company’s operating performance over multiple periods. Both commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below. Management Comments David W. Pijor, Esq., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said: “2023 was a challenging year for financial institutions, including FVCbank. Our commitment to sound strategic banking and serving our clients are and will always be our top priorities. We successfully implemented a new digital banking platform in early 2023, enhancing our client offerings and improving operating efficiencies. We continue to lend to businesses in our market area through our disciplined credit culture as evidenced by our historically low credit losses. The balance sheet repositionings and our focus on our operating structure will improve profitability and efficiencies going into 2024. We are well positioned to create shareholder value and will remain focused on client service, quality core growth, expense discipline, and strategic balance sheet management.” Statement of Condition Total assets were $2.19 billion at December 31, 2023 and $2.34 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $153.7 million, or 7%. This decrease was a result of the Company’s strategic balance sheet management which was focused on repositioning the balance sheet through two investment securities restructurings and reducing its reliance on wholesale funding to limit funding costs. Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, were $1.83 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.84 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 0.6%. Compared to September 30, 2023, loans receivable, net of deferred fees, decreased $20.9 million, or 1%, from $1.85 billion.

Commercial construction loans paid down $6.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s warehouse line with Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) decreased $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Investment securities were $171.9 million at December 31, 2023 and $278.3 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $106.5 million, or 38%. Investment securities decreased $44.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a second balance sheet restructuring whereby the Company sold $61.4 million in book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54%. Offsetting this quarterly decrease was an improvement in the market value of the investment securities portfolio totaling $21.8 million. The Company previously sold $40.3 million in book value available-for-sale securities during February 2023 to de-leverage its balance sheet and invest funds in higher yielding assets. Total deposits were $1.85 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.83 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $15.1 million, or 1%. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $396.7 million at December 31, 2023, or 21.5% of total deposits. At December 31, 2023, core deposits, which exclude wholesale deposits, increased $17.9 million from December 31, 2022, or 1%. As a member of the IntraFi Network, the Bank offers products to its customers who seek to maximize FDIC insurance protection (“reciprocal deposits”). At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, reciprocal deposits totaled $254.1 million and $117.6 million, respectively, and are considered part of the Company’s core deposit base. Time deposits (which exclude wholesale deposits) increased $45.9 million, or 18%, to $306.3 million at December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022, and were 19% of core deposits at December 31, 2023, representing new and existing customer deposits as customers were looking to fix interest rates on their deposit balances. The Company has had consistent core deposit inflows over the last several quarters, including the fourth quarter of 2023, with new non-time deposit accounts totaling $116.5 million (which includes $8.3 million in new noninterest-bearing deposits) compared to $200 million (which includes $7.6 million in noninterest-bearing deposits) for the third quarter of 2023. Title and escrow-related deposits decreased $69.1 million from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 which was primarily attributable to a few large commercial transactions that settled prior to year-end. Deposits from municipalities decreased $20.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 due to time deposit maturities and the repricing of these collateralized deposits were at premium interest rates. The Company maintains a growing deposit pipeline headed into the first quarter of 2024. Total wholesale funding (which includes wholesale deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) decreased $182.7 million, or 36%, during 2023. Wholesale funding, which totaled $330.3 million at December 31, 2023, carried a weighted average rate of 3.62% including $250 million in pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps at an average rate of 3.25%. Wholesale deposits decreased $2.7 million to $245.3 million during 2023 and FHLB advances decreased $180.0 million during 2023. Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2023 was $217.1 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2022. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 contributed $3.8 million to the increase in shareholders’ equity. As a result of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“CECL”) on January 1, 2023, retained earnings decreased $2.8 million. In addition, during the first six months of 2023, the Company repurchased 115,750 of its common shares at an average price of $12.51 (including commissions) in accordance with its approved share repurchase program, reducing shareholders’ equity $1.4 million during 2023. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $12.4 million, which was related to the improvement in other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s investment portfolio and losses recorded from the sale of investment securities during 2023. Book value per share at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $12.19 and $11.58, respectively. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $11.77 and $11.14, respectively. Tangible book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below), at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $13.12 and $13.23, respectively. The Bank is well-capitalized at December 31, 2023, with total risk-based capital of 13.83%, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital of 12.80%, and tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.77%. Asset Quality The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date, and recorded the impact of the adoption to retained earnings, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the accounting standard. Note that prior to the adoption of CECL, the Company utilized an incurred loss model to derive its best estimate of the allowance for credit losses. Reserves for credit losses increased $3.7 million and consisted of increases to the allowance for credit losses on loans as well as the Company's reserve for unfunded commitments (referred to in combination herein as “ACL”). For the fourth quarter of 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, subsequent to the aforementioned adoption, the Company recorded no provision for credit losses and $132 thousand, respectively, compared to a provision of $729 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a provision of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The ACL to total loans, net of fees, was 1.06% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2022. The Company has maintained disciplined credit guidelines during the rising interest rate environment. The Company proactively monitors the impact of rising interest rates on its adjustable loans as the industry navigates through this economic cycle of increased inflation and higher interest rates. Certain credit quality metrics improved during 2023 as nonperforming loans and loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2023 totaled $1.8 million, or 0.08% of total assets, compared to $4.5 million, or 0.19%, of total assets at December 31, 2022. Watchlist credits increased to $28.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $14.3 million from December 31, 2022, as the Company proactivity manages the credit quality of its loan portfolio, including reducing its commercial real estate concentrations, which has resulted in limited credit losses over its history. The Company had no other real estate owned. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $49 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $375 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. The ACL (which includes the reserve for unfunded commitments) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $19.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively. ACL coverage to nonperforming loans increased to 1065% at December 31, 2023, compared to 357% at December 31, 2022 as a result of the Company’s improved credit quality and adoption of CECL. Commercial real estate and construction loans totaled $1.24 billion, or 68% of total loans, net of fees, at December 31, 2023. The commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. The Company manages this portion of the portfolio in a disciplined manner, and has comprehensive policies to monitor, measure and mitigate its loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices. Included in commercial real estate are loans secured by office buildings totaling $92.9 million, or 5% of total loans, and retail shopping centers totaling $264.0 million, or 14% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. Multi-family commercial properties totaled $178.6 million, or 10% of total loans, at December 31, 2023.

(2) Bank-owned principal is not adjusted for deferred fees and costs. (3) Minimum debt service coverage policy is 1.30x for Owner Occupied and 1.25x for Non-Owner Occupied at origination. The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality, reflecting only one classified delinquency at December 31, 2023 which totaled $851 thousand with a specific reserve of $187 thousand. During its assessment of the allowance for credit losses, the Company addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believes that as a result of its conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination and its ongoing loan monitoring procedures, the Company has appropriately reserved for possible credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity. Minority Investment in Mortgage Banking Operation In August 2021, the Company acquired a membership interest in ACM to diversify its loan portfolio while providing competitive residential mortgage products to its customers and to generate additional revenue. The Company’s investment in ACM is reflected as a nonconsolidated minority investment, and as such, the Company’s income generated from the investment is included in non-interest income. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 related to its investment in ACM. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, pre-tax losses attributable to its investment in ACM totaled $2.8 million and $659 thousand, respectively. ACM management is continuing to evaluate and look for opportunities to further reduce spend and increase revenue where possible. Income Statement The Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million for the same period of 2022. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes the Company’s portion of losses from its membership interest in ACM, which was $1.3 million pre-tax, compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, in addition to losses from securities sales during the fourth quarter of 2023 totaling $11.0 million. Excluding securities sales, office reduction costs and severance costs, bank operating earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $3.8 million net of taxes for the fourth quarter of 2023. Interest income on loans increased $3.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. Compared to the linked quarter, interest income on loans decreased $494 thousand, or 2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a decrease in average loans. The increase in interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ago quarter was primarily related to an increase in loan yields, which increased 51 basis points, and the volume of average loans, which increased $80.2 million. On a linked quarter basis, the yield on average loans receivable increased by 2 basis points to 5.42%. At December 31, 2023, approximately $308 million, or 21%, of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio is expected to reprice during 2024, an additional 19% will reprice within 24-36 months, and 29% will reprice within the next three to five years. The repricing of the commercial loan portfolio will improve loan yields in future periods. Interest expense on deposits increased $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, and decreased $1.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the impact of the Company’s decreased reliance on wholesale deposits compared to the previous quarter. The cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.78% compared to 2.71% for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7 basis points, and an increase of 149 basis points from 1.29% for the year-ago fourth quarter. Net interest income totaled $12.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $676 thousand, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $3.2 million, or 20%, compared to the year ago quarter. Compared to the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 is primarily due to an increase in funding costs, which have increased precipitously as a result of Federal Reserve monetary policy coupled with the need to meet intense competition from market area banks, brokerages and the U.S. Treasury. The Company's net interest margin decreased less than 1% to 2.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2.39% for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and decreased from 2.96% for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company continues to consider possible balance sheet strategies to improve net interest margin in future periods. The Company’s net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 2.49% and 3.19%, respectively. The Company’s cycle-to-date deposit beta (calculated comparing the change in deposit interest rates from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 including noninterest-bearing deposits and excluding wholesale deposits) is approximately 42% over the past cycle since the Federal Reserve began increasing short-term interest rates. Below is a table illustrating the Company’s quarterly loan and deposit betas from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $9.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to income of $225 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $10 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $650 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $1.4 million for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The losses recorded for ACM for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 were offset by income recorded from other holding company investments totaling $1.6 million. Fee income from loans was $35 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $74 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income totaled $385 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $38 thousand from the year ago quarter. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $29 thousand to $385 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $356 thousand for the same period of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $13.4 million, which was primarily associated with its securities sales transactions executed during the first and fourth quarters of 2023, compared to noninterest income of $2.8 million for the comparable period of 2022. During 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $15.6 million related to its sales of available-for-sale investment securities as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $659 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Noninterest expense totaled $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $9.2 million for the same three-month period of 2022, an increase of $200 thousand, or 2%. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $354 thousand, or 4%, from $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase for the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily related to office space reduction costs of $273 thousand and severance costs of $63 thousand as the Company continues to evaluate its overhead expenses. Salaries and benefits expense remained at $5.3 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and was $5.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The maintenance of salaries and benefits expense at this level is a result of the Company’s continued expense management including process improvement through the use of technology. Internet banking and software expense increased $226 thousand to $701 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the implementation of enhanced customer software solutions. Other operating expenses totaled $1.2 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company continues to identify and assess opportunities to reduce operating expenses including analysis of its branch and office locations. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, noninterest expense was $36.7 million and $34.5 million, respectively, an increase of $2.2 million, or 6%, primarily as a result of the aforementioned increases in internet banking and software expense and state franchise taxes. The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million for the same period in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, provision for income tax expense was $410 thousand and $6.0 million, respectively. About FVCBankcorp, Inc.

These forward-looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: general business and economic conditions, including higher inflation and its impacts, nationally or in the markets that the Company serves could adversely affect, among other things, real estate valuations, unemployment levels, the ability of businesses to remain viable, consumer and business confidence and consumer and business spending, which could lead to decreases in demand for loans, deposits, and other financial services that the Company provides and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults; the risk of changes in interest rates on levels, composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; changes in the Company’s liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in its assets and liabilities; changes in the assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses; changes in market conditions, specifically declines in the commercial and residential real estate market, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and soundness of other financial institutions we do business with; risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values; the Company’s investment securities portfolio is subject to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk as well as changes in the estimates used to value the securities in the portfolio; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; declines in the Company's common stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to record a noncash impairment charge to earnings in future periods; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; the occurrence of significant natural disasters, including severe weather conditions, floods, health related issues, and other catastrophic events; our management of risks inherent in our real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market, which could impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell collateral upon any foreclosure; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; technological and social media changes; changing bank regulatory conditions, policies or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives, that could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally, or our subsidiary bank in particular, more restrictive regulatory capital requirements, increased costs, including deposit insurance premiums, regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities or changes in the secondary market for loans and other products; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations, including laws, regulations and policies concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the real estate industry; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time to time by bank regulatory agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setting bodies; the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services; the effect of acquisitions we may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; our involvement, from time to time, in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators; and potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber-crime.

FVCBankcorp, Inc. Announces 2023 Earnings By: FVCBankcorp, Inc. via Business Wire January 23, 2024 at 16:00 PM EST FVCBankcorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FVCB) (the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. Fourth Quarter Selected Financial Highlights Strong Credit Quality. Nonperforming loans totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2023, or 0.08% of total assets, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 59%, from the prior year ended December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs of $49 thousand were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023, or 0.01% of average total loans. Prudent Balance Sheet Repositioning. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its investment portfolio totaling $61.4 million of book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54% and a projected earn-back of less than three years. This repositioning resulted in an after-tax loss of $8.5 million. Low Uninsured Deposit Metrics Compared to Total Deposits. As of December 31, 2023, estimated uninsured deposits improved to 31.1% of total deposits from 39.7% at December 31, 2022, when excluding collateralized deposits. The Company has sufficient capital and liquidity resources to satisfy these obligations. Diverse Sources of Available Liquidity. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s liquidity position, which includes cash totaling $60.5 million, unencumbered investment securities of $162.1 million, and available unsecured and secured borrowing capacity totaling $705.1 million, was significantly in excess of its estimated uninsured deposits (excluding collateralized deposits) totaling $574.6 million, or 31.1% of total deposits. Strong, Well Capitalized Balance Sheet. All of FVCbank’s (the “Bank”) regulatory capital components and ratios are well in excess of thresholds required to be considered "well capitalized", with total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.83% at December 31, 2023. The tangible common equity ("TCE") to total assets ("TA") ratio for the Bank increased to 10.12% at December 31, 2023, from 8.86% at December 31, 2022. The Bank’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, and therefore the decrease in market value of these securities is fully reflected in the TCE/TA ratio. As a result of the above mentioned repositioning, the Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.28 diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $25.0 million, or $1.35 diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2023 results include after-tax losses of $12.2 million for first quarter 2023 and fourth quarter 2023 securities sale. In addition, the Company reduced its future occupancy expense through a reduction in office space. The Company wrote-off two leases totaling $273,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 to reduce excess office space and to consolidate two branch locations in Montgomery County, Maryland. Lastly, the Company reduced staffing which resulted in severance costs of $63,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These initiatives reduce operating expenses in 2024 by over $1.0 million. Commercial bank operating earnings, which exclude losses on the above-noted securities sales, office space reduction costs, severance costs, and 2022 merger-related expenses, all net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $280 thousand. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $0.21 and $0.22, respectively. For the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023, commercial bank operating earnings included after-tax reversal of provision for credit losses totaling $569 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, commercial bank operating earnings were $16.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0.90 and $1.36, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, pre-tax pre-provision operating income (which also excludes losses on securities sales, office space reduction costs and severance costs) was $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, an increase of $206 thousand. The Company considers commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income useful comparative financial measures of the Company’s operating performance over multiple periods. Both commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below. Management Comments David W. Pijor, Esq., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said: “2023 was a challenging year for financial institutions, including FVCbank. Our commitment to sound strategic banking and serving our clients are and will always be our top priorities. We successfully implemented a new digital banking platform in early 2023, enhancing our client offerings and improving operating efficiencies. We continue to lend to businesses in our market area through our disciplined credit culture as evidenced by our historically low credit losses. The balance sheet repositionings and our focus on our operating structure will improve profitability and efficiencies going into 2024. We are well positioned to create shareholder value and will remain focused on client service, quality core growth, expense discipline, and strategic balance sheet management.” Statement of Condition Total assets were $2.19 billion at December 31, 2023 and $2.34 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $153.7 million, or 7%. This decrease was a result of the Company’s strategic balance sheet management which was focused on repositioning the balance sheet through two investment securities restructurings and reducing its reliance on wholesale funding to limit funding costs. Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, were $1.83 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.84 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 0.6%. Compared to September 30, 2023, loans receivable, net of deferred fees, decreased $20.9 million, or 1%, from $1.85 billion. During the fourth quarter of 2023, new commercial loan originations totaled $15.4 million with a weighted average rate of 8.32% and repayments of loans totaled $52.2 million with a weighted average rate of 7.29%. Commercial line activity, which has a weighted average rate 8.69%, increased $26.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Commercial construction loans paid down $6.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s warehouse line with Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) decreased $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. During the first three weeks of January 2024, the Company originated and funded $29.4 million in new commercial loans that were expected to close prior to year-end. Investment securities were $171.9 million at December 31, 2023 and $278.3 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $106.5 million, or 38%. Investment securities decreased $44.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a second balance sheet restructuring whereby the Company sold $61.4 million in book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54%. Offsetting this quarterly decrease was an improvement in the market value of the investment securities portfolio totaling $21.8 million. The Company previously sold $40.3 million in book value available-for-sale securities during February 2023 to de-leverage its balance sheet and invest funds in higher yielding assets. Total deposits were $1.85 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.83 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $15.1 million, or 1%. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $396.7 million at December 31, 2023, or 21.5% of total deposits. At December 31, 2023, core deposits, which exclude wholesale deposits, increased $17.9 million from December 31, 2022, or 1%. As a member of the IntraFi Network, the Bank offers products to its customers who seek to maximize FDIC insurance protection (“reciprocal deposits”). At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, reciprocal deposits totaled $254.1 million and $117.6 million, respectively, and are considered part of the Company’s core deposit base. Time deposits (which exclude wholesale deposits) increased $45.9 million, or 18%, to $306.3 million at December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022, and were 19% of core deposits at December 31, 2023, representing new and existing customer deposits as customers were looking to fix interest rates on their deposit balances. The Company has had consistent core deposit inflows over the last several quarters, including the fourth quarter of 2023, with new non-time deposit accounts totaling $116.5 million (which includes $8.3 million in new noninterest-bearing deposits) compared to $200 million (which includes $7.6 million in noninterest-bearing deposits) for the third quarter of 2023. Title and escrow-related deposits decreased $69.1 million from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 which was primarily attributable to a few large commercial transactions that settled prior to year-end. Deposits from municipalities decreased $20.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 due to time deposit maturities and the repricing of these collateralized deposits were at premium interest rates. The Company maintains a growing deposit pipeline headed into the first quarter of 2024. Total wholesale funding (which includes wholesale deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) decreased $182.7 million, or 36%, during 2023. Wholesale funding, which totaled $330.3 million at December 31, 2023, carried a weighted average rate of 3.62% including $250 million in pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps at an average rate of 3.25%. Wholesale deposits decreased $2.7 million to $245.3 million during 2023 and FHLB advances decreased $180.0 million during 2023. Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2023 was $217.1 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2022. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 contributed $3.8 million to the increase in shareholders’ equity. As a result of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“CECL”) on January 1, 2023, retained earnings decreased $2.8 million. In addition, during the first six months of 2023, the Company repurchased 115,750 of its common shares at an average price of $12.51 (including commissions) in accordance with its approved share repurchase program, reducing shareholders’ equity $1.4 million during 2023. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $12.4 million, which was related to the improvement in other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s investment portfolio and losses recorded from the sale of investment securities during 2023. Book value per share at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $12.19 and $11.58, respectively. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $11.77 and $11.14, respectively. Tangible book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below), at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $13.12 and $13.23, respectively. The Bank is well-capitalized at December 31, 2023, with total risk-based capital of 13.83%, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital of 12.80%, and tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.77%. Asset Quality The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date, and recorded the impact of the adoption to retained earnings, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the accounting standard. Note that prior to the adoption of CECL, the Company utilized an incurred loss model to derive its best estimate of the allowance for credit losses. Reserves for credit losses increased $3.7 million and consisted of increases to the allowance for credit losses on loans as well as the Company's reserve for unfunded commitments (referred to in combination herein as “ACL”). For the fourth quarter of 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, subsequent to the aforementioned adoption, the Company recorded no provision for credit losses and $132 thousand, respectively, compared to a provision of $729 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a provision of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The ACL to total loans, net of fees, was 1.06% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2022. The Company has maintained disciplined credit guidelines during the rising interest rate environment. The Company proactively monitors the impact of rising interest rates on its adjustable loans as the industry navigates through this economic cycle of increased inflation and higher interest rates. Certain credit quality metrics improved during 2023 as nonperforming loans and loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2023 totaled $1.8 million, or 0.08% of total assets, compared to $4.5 million, or 0.19%, of total assets at December 31, 2022. Watchlist credits increased to $28.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $14.3 million from December 31, 2022, as the Company proactivity manages the credit quality of its loan portfolio, including reducing its commercial real estate concentrations, which has resulted in limited credit losses over its history. The Company had no other real estate owned. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $49 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $375 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. The ACL (which includes the reserve for unfunded commitments) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $19.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively. ACL coverage to nonperforming loans increased to 1065% at December 31, 2023, compared to 357% at December 31, 2022 as a result of the Company’s improved credit quality and adoption of CECL. Commercial real estate and construction loans totaled $1.24 billion, or 68% of total loans, net of fees, at December 31, 2023. The commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. The Company manages this portion of the portfolio in a disciplined manner, and has comprehensive policies to monitor, measure and mitigate its loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices. Included in commercial real estate are loans secured by office buildings totaling $92.9 million, or 5% of total loans, and retail shopping centers totaling $264.0 million, or 14% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. Multi-family commercial properties totaled $178.6 million, or 10% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The following table provides further stratification of these and additional asset classes at December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands).

(2) Bank-owned principal is not adjusted for deferred fees and costs. (3) Minimum debt service coverage policy is 1.30x for Owner Occupied and 1.25x for Non-Owner Occupied at origination. The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality, reflecting only one classified delinquency at December 31, 2023 which totaled $851 thousand with a specific reserve of $187 thousand. During its assessment of the allowance for credit losses, the Company addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believes that as a result of its conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination and its ongoing loan monitoring procedures, the Company has appropriately reserved for possible credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity. Minority Investment in Mortgage Banking Operation In August 2021, the Company acquired a membership interest in ACM to diversify its loan portfolio while providing competitive residential mortgage products to its customers and to generate additional revenue. The Company’s investment in ACM is reflected as a nonconsolidated minority investment, and as such, the Company’s income generated from the investment is included in non-interest income. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 related to its investment in ACM. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, pre-tax losses attributable to its investment in ACM totaled $2.8 million and $659 thousand, respectively. ACM management is continuing to evaluate and look for opportunities to further reduce spend and increase revenue where possible. Income Statement The Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million for the same period of 2022. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes the Company’s portion of losses from its membership interest in ACM, which was $1.3 million pre-tax, compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, in addition to losses from securities sales during the fourth quarter of 2023 totaling $11.0 million. Excluding securities sales, office reduction costs and severance costs, bank operating earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $3.8 million net of taxes for the fourth quarter of 2023. Interest income on loans increased $3.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. Compared to the linked quarter, interest income on loans decreased $494 thousand, or 2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a decrease in average loans. The increase in interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ago quarter was primarily related to an increase in loan yields, which increased 51 basis points, and the volume of average loans, which increased $80.2 million. On a linked quarter basis, the yield on average loans receivable increased by 2 basis points to 5.42%. At December 31, 2023, approximately $308 million, or 21%, of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio is expected to reprice during 2024, an additional 19% will reprice within 24-36 months, and 29% will reprice within the next three to five years. The repricing of the commercial loan portfolio will improve loan yields in future periods. Interest expense on deposits increased $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, and decreased $1.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the impact of the Company’s decreased reliance on wholesale deposits compared to the previous quarter. The cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.78% compared to 2.71% for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7 basis points, and an increase of 149 basis points from 1.29% for the year-ago fourth quarter. Net interest income totaled $12.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $676 thousand, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $3.2 million, or 20%, compared to the year ago quarter. Compared to the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 is primarily due to an increase in funding costs, which have increased precipitously as a result of Federal Reserve monetary policy coupled with the need to meet intense competition from market area banks, brokerages and the U.S. Treasury. The Company's net interest margin decreased less than 1% to 2.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2.39% for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and decreased from 2.96% for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company continues to consider possible balance sheet strategies to improve net interest margin in future periods. The Company’s net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 2.49% and 3.19%, respectively. The Company’s cycle-to-date deposit beta (calculated comparing the change in deposit interest rates from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 including noninterest-bearing deposits and excluding wholesale deposits) is approximately 42% over the past cycle since the Federal Reserve began increasing short-term interest rates. Below is a table illustrating the Company’s quarterly loan and deposit betas from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $9.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to income of $225 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $10 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $650 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $1.4 million for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The losses recorded for ACM for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 were offset by income recorded from other holding company investments totaling $1.6 million. Fee income from loans was $35 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $74 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income totaled $385 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $38 thousand from the year ago quarter. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $29 thousand to $385 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $356 thousand for the same period of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $13.4 million, which was primarily associated with its securities sales transactions executed during the first and fourth quarters of 2023, compared to noninterest income of $2.8 million for the comparable period of 2022. During 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $15.6 million related to its sales of available-for-sale investment securities as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $659 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Noninterest expense totaled $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $9.2 million for the same three-month period of 2022, an increase of $200 thousand, or 2%. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $354 thousand, or 4%, from $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase for the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily related to office space reduction costs of $273 thousand and severance costs of $63 thousand as the Company continues to evaluate its overhead expenses. Salaries and benefits expense remained at $5.3 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and was $5.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The maintenance of salaries and benefits expense at this level is a result of the Company’s continued expense management including process improvement through the use of technology. Internet banking and software expense increased $226 thousand to $701 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the implementation of enhanced customer software solutions. Other operating expenses totaled $1.2 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company continues to identify and assess opportunities to reduce operating expenses including analysis of its branch and office locations. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, noninterest expense was $36.7 million and $34.5 million, respectively, an increase of $2.2 million, or 6%, primarily as a result of the aforementioned increases in internet banking and software expense and state franchise taxes. The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million for the same period in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, provision for income tax expense was $410 thousand and $6.0 million, respectively. About FVCBankcorp, Inc.

FVCBankcorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FVCB) (the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. Fourth Quarter Selected Financial Highlights Strong Credit Quality. Nonperforming loans totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2023, or 0.08% of total assets, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 59%, from the prior year ended December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs of $49 thousand were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023, or 0.01% of average total loans. Prudent Balance Sheet Repositioning. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its investment portfolio totaling $61.4 million of book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54% and a projected earn-back of less than three years. This repositioning resulted in an after-tax loss of $8.5 million. Low Uninsured Deposit Metrics Compared to Total Deposits. As of December 31, 2023, estimated uninsured deposits improved to 31.1% of total deposits from 39.7% at December 31, 2022, when excluding collateralized deposits. The Company has sufficient capital and liquidity resources to satisfy these obligations. Diverse Sources of Available Liquidity. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s liquidity position, which includes cash totaling $60.5 million, unencumbered investment securities of $162.1 million, and available unsecured and secured borrowing capacity totaling $705.1 million, was significantly in excess of its estimated uninsured deposits (excluding collateralized deposits) totaling $574.6 million, or 31.1% of total deposits. Strong, Well Capitalized Balance Sheet. All of FVCbank’s (the “Bank”) regulatory capital components and ratios are well in excess of thresholds required to be considered "well capitalized", with total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.83% at December 31, 2023. The tangible common equity ("TCE") to total assets ("TA") ratio for the Bank increased to 10.12% at December 31, 2023, from 8.86% at December 31, 2022. The Bank’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, and therefore the decrease in market value of these securities is fully reflected in the TCE/TA ratio. As a result of the above mentioned repositioning, the Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.28 diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $25.0 million, or $1.35 diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2023 results include after-tax losses of $12.2 million for first quarter 2023 and fourth quarter 2023 securities sale. In addition, the Company reduced its future occupancy expense through a reduction in office space. The Company wrote-off two leases totaling $273,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 to reduce excess office space and to consolidate two branch locations in Montgomery County, Maryland. Lastly, the Company reduced staffing which resulted in severance costs of $63,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These initiatives reduce operating expenses in 2024 by over $1.0 million. Commercial bank operating earnings, which exclude losses on the above-noted securities sales, office space reduction costs, severance costs, and 2022 merger-related expenses, all net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $280 thousand. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were $0.21 and $0.22, respectively. For the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023, commercial bank operating earnings included after-tax reversal of provision for credit losses totaling $569 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, commercial bank operating earnings were $16.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0.90 and $1.36, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, pre-tax pre-provision operating income (which also excludes losses on securities sales, office space reduction costs and severance costs) was $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, an increase of $206 thousand. The Company considers commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income useful comparative financial measures of the Company’s operating performance over multiple periods. Both commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below. Management Comments David W. Pijor, Esq., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said: “2023 was a challenging year for financial institutions, including FVCbank. Our commitment to sound strategic banking and serving our clients are and will always be our top priorities. We successfully implemented a new digital banking platform in early 2023, enhancing our client offerings and improving operating efficiencies. We continue to lend to businesses in our market area through our disciplined credit culture as evidenced by our historically low credit losses. The balance sheet repositionings and our focus on our operating structure will improve profitability and efficiencies going into 2024. We are well positioned to create shareholder value and will remain focused on client service, quality core growth, expense discipline, and strategic balance sheet management.” Statement of Condition Total assets were $2.19 billion at December 31, 2023 and $2.34 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $153.7 million, or 7%. This decrease was a result of the Company’s strategic balance sheet management which was focused on repositioning the balance sheet through two investment securities restructurings and reducing its reliance on wholesale funding to limit funding costs. Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, were $1.83 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.84 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 0.6%. Compared to September 30, 2023, loans receivable, net of deferred fees, decreased $20.9 million, or 1%, from $1.85 billion. During the fourth quarter of 2023, new commercial loan originations totaled $15.4 million with a weighted average rate of 8.32% and repayments of loans totaled $52.2 million with a weighted average rate of 7.29%. Commercial line activity, which has a weighted average rate 8.69%, increased $26.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Commercial construction loans paid down $6.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s warehouse line with Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) decreased $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. During the first three weeks of January 2024, the Company originated and funded $29.4 million in new commercial loans that were expected to close prior to year-end. Investment securities were $171.9 million at December 31, 2023 and $278.3 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $106.5 million, or 38%. Investment securities decreased $44.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a second balance sheet restructuring whereby the Company sold $61.4 million in book value available-for-sale securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.54%. Offsetting this quarterly decrease was an improvement in the market value of the investment securities portfolio totaling $21.8 million. The Company previously sold $40.3 million in book value available-for-sale securities during February 2023 to de-leverage its balance sheet and invest funds in higher yielding assets. Total deposits were $1.85 billion at December 31, 2023 and $1.83 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $15.1 million, or 1%. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $396.7 million at December 31, 2023, or 21.5% of total deposits. At December 31, 2023, core deposits, which exclude wholesale deposits, increased $17.9 million from December 31, 2022, or 1%. As a member of the IntraFi Network, the Bank offers products to its customers who seek to maximize FDIC insurance protection (“reciprocal deposits”). At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, reciprocal deposits totaled $254.1 million and $117.6 million, respectively, and are considered part of the Company’s core deposit base. Time deposits (which exclude wholesale deposits) increased $45.9 million, or 18%, to $306.3 million at December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022, and were 19% of core deposits at December 31, 2023, representing new and existing customer deposits as customers were looking to fix interest rates on their deposit balances. The Company has had consistent core deposit inflows over the last several quarters, including the fourth quarter of 2023, with new non-time deposit accounts totaling $116.5 million (which includes $8.3 million in new noninterest-bearing deposits) compared to $200 million (which includes $7.6 million in noninterest-bearing deposits) for the third quarter of 2023. Title and escrow-related deposits decreased $69.1 million from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 which was primarily attributable to a few large commercial transactions that settled prior to year-end. Deposits from municipalities decreased $20.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 due to time deposit maturities and the repricing of these collateralized deposits were at premium interest rates. The Company maintains a growing deposit pipeline headed into the first quarter of 2024. Total wholesale funding (which includes wholesale deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) decreased $182.7 million, or 36%, during 2023. Wholesale funding, which totaled $330.3 million at December 31, 2023, carried a weighted average rate of 3.62% including $250 million in pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps at an average rate of 3.25%. Wholesale deposits decreased $2.7 million to $245.3 million during 2023 and FHLB advances decreased $180.0 million during 2023. Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2023 was $217.1 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2022. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 contributed $3.8 million to the increase in shareholders’ equity. As a result of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“CECL”) on January 1, 2023, retained earnings decreased $2.8 million. In addition, during the first six months of 2023, the Company repurchased 115,750 of its common shares at an average price of $12.51 (including commissions) in accordance with its approved share repurchase program, reducing shareholders’ equity $1.4 million during 2023. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $12.4 million, which was related to the improvement in other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s investment portfolio and losses recorded from the sale of investment securities during 2023. Book value per share at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $12.19 and $11.58, respectively. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $11.77 and $11.14, respectively. Tangible book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the tables below), at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $13.12 and $13.23, respectively. The Bank is well-capitalized at December 31, 2023, with total risk-based capital of 13.83%, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital of 12.80%, and tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.77%. Asset Quality The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date, and recorded the impact of the adoption to retained earnings, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the accounting standard. Note that prior to the adoption of CECL, the Company utilized an incurred loss model to derive its best estimate of the allowance for credit losses. Reserves for credit losses increased $3.7 million and consisted of increases to the allowance for credit losses on loans as well as the Company's reserve for unfunded commitments (referred to in combination herein as “ACL”). For the fourth quarter of 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, subsequent to the aforementioned adoption, the Company recorded no provision for credit losses and $132 thousand, respectively, compared to a provision of $729 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a provision of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The ACL to total loans, net of fees, was 1.06% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2022. The Company has maintained disciplined credit guidelines during the rising interest rate environment. The Company proactively monitors the impact of rising interest rates on its adjustable loans as the industry navigates through this economic cycle of increased inflation and higher interest rates. Certain credit quality metrics improved during 2023 as nonperforming loans and loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2023 totaled $1.8 million, or 0.08% of total assets, compared to $4.5 million, or 0.19%, of total assets at December 31, 2022. Watchlist credits increased to $28.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $14.3 million from December 31, 2022, as the Company proactivity manages the credit quality of its loan portfolio, including reducing its commercial real estate concentrations, which has resulted in limited credit losses over its history. The Company had no other real estate owned. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $49 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2023 and $375 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. The ACL (which includes the reserve for unfunded commitments) at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $19.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively. ACL coverage to nonperforming loans increased to 1065% at December 31, 2023, compared to 357% at December 31, 2022 as a result of the Company’s improved credit quality and adoption of CECL. Commercial real estate and construction loans totaled $1.24 billion, or 68% of total loans, net of fees, at December 31, 2023. The commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. The Company manages this portion of the portfolio in a disciplined manner, and has comprehensive policies to monitor, measure and mitigate its loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices. Included in commercial real estate are loans secured by office buildings totaling $92.9 million, or 5% of total loans, and retail shopping centers totaling $264.0 million, or 14% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. Multi-family commercial properties totaled $178.6 million, or 10% of total loans, at December 31, 2023.

(2) Bank-owned principal is not adjusted for deferred fees and costs. (3) Minimum debt service coverage policy is 1.30x for Owner Occupied and 1.25x for Non-Owner Occupied at origination. The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality, reflecting only one classified delinquency at December 31, 2023 which totaled $851 thousand with a specific reserve of $187 thousand. During its assessment of the allowance for credit losses, the Company addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believes that as a result of its conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination and its ongoing loan monitoring procedures, the Company has appropriately reserved for possible credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity. Minority Investment in Mortgage Banking Operation In August 2021, the Company acquired a membership interest in ACM to diversify its loan portfolio while providing competitive residential mortgage products to its customers and to generate additional revenue. The Company’s investment in ACM is reflected as a nonconsolidated minority investment, and as such, the Company’s income generated from the investment is included in non-interest income. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 related to its investment in ACM. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, pre-tax losses attributable to its investment in ACM totaled $2.8 million and $659 thousand, respectively. ACM management is continuing to evaluate and look for opportunities to further reduce spend and increase revenue where possible. Income Statement The Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.9 million for the same period of 2022. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes the Company’s portion of losses from its membership interest in ACM, which was $1.3 million pre-tax, compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, in addition to losses from securities sales during the fourth quarter of 2023 totaling $11.0 million. Excluding securities sales, office reduction costs and severance costs, bank operating earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $3.8 million net of taxes for the fourth quarter of 2023. Interest income on loans increased $3.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. Compared to the linked quarter, interest income on loans decreased $494 thousand, or 2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a decrease in average loans. The increase in interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ago quarter was primarily related to an increase in loan yields, which increased 51 basis points, and the volume of average loans, which increased $80.2 million. On a linked quarter basis, the yield on average loans receivable increased by 2 basis points to 5.42%. At December 31, 2023, approximately $308 million, or 21%, of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio is expected to reprice during 2024, an additional 19% will reprice within 24-36 months, and 29% will reprice within the next three to five years. The repricing of the commercial loan portfolio will improve loan yields in future periods. Interest expense on deposits increased $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, and decreased $1.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the impact of the Company’s decreased reliance on wholesale deposits compared to the previous quarter. The cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.78% compared to 2.71% for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7 basis points, and an increase of 149 basis points from 1.29% for the year-ago fourth quarter. Net interest income totaled $12.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $676 thousand, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $3.2 million, or 20%, compared to the year ago quarter. Compared to the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 is primarily due to an increase in funding costs, which have increased precipitously as a result of Federal Reserve monetary policy coupled with the need to meet intense competition from market area banks, brokerages and the U.S. Treasury. The Company's net interest margin decreased less than 1% to 2.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2.39% for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and decreased from 2.96% for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company continues to consider possible balance sheet strategies to improve net interest margin in future periods. The Company’s net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 2.49% and 3.19%, respectively. The Company’s cycle-to-date deposit beta (calculated comparing the change in deposit interest rates from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 including noninterest-bearing deposits and excluding wholesale deposits) is approximately 42% over the past cycle since the Federal Reserve began increasing short-term interest rates. Below is a table illustrating the Company’s quarterly loan and deposit betas from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $9.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to income of $225 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $10 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $650 thousand for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a loss of $1.4 million for the year ago quarter ended December 31, 2022. The losses recorded for ACM for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 were offset by income recorded from other holding company investments totaling $1.6 million. Fee income from loans was $35 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $74 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income totaled $385 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $38 thousand from the year ago quarter. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $29 thousand to $385 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $356 thousand for the same period of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded noninterest income as a loss of $13.4 million, which was primarily associated with its securities sales transactions executed during the first and fourth quarters of 2023, compared to noninterest income of $2.8 million for the comparable period of 2022. During 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $15.6 million related to its sales of available-for-sale investment securities as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy. The loss associated with the Company’s investment in ACM was $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $659 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Noninterest expense totaled $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $9.2 million for the same three-month period of 2022, an increase of $200 thousand, or 2%. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $354 thousand, or 4%, from $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase for the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily related to office space reduction costs of $273 thousand and severance costs of $63 thousand as the Company continues to evaluate its overhead expenses. Salaries and benefits expense remained at $5.3 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and was $5.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The maintenance of salaries and benefits expense at this level is a result of the Company’s continued expense management including process improvement through the use of technology. Internet banking and software expense increased $226 thousand to $701 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the implementation of enhanced customer software solutions. Other operating expenses totaled $1.2 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company continues to identify and assess opportunities to reduce operating expenses including analysis of its branch and office locations. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, noninterest expense was $36.7 million and $34.5 million, respectively, an increase of $2.2 million, or 6%, primarily as a result of the aforementioned increases in internet banking and software expense and state franchise taxes. The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million for the same period in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, provision for income tax expense was $410 thousand and $6.0 million, respectively. About FVCBankcorp, Inc.
