Oct 31 2025 12:30 BST

FAIRFAX, Va. , Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Freedom Financial Holdings (OTCQX: FDVA), (the "Company" or "Freedom"), the holding company for The Freedom Bank of Virginia (the "Bank") today announced net income of $1,122,930 or $0.16 per diluted share for the third quarter compared to net income of $799,896 or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and net income of $344,919 or $0.05 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $3,942,171 or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $3,553,378 or $0.49 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Joseph J. Thomas, President, and CEO, commented, "Our team worked hard in the third quarter to achieve improved financial results by expanding net interest margin and growing C&I loans, while also reducing wholesale funding and addressing problem loans. The company's net income for the third quarter increased 40.4% over the second quarter of 2025 and 225.6% compared to the third quarter 2024. Our net interest margin for the quarter increased 34 basis points to 2.66% compared to third quarter of 2024. Improvements were partially achieved through a reduction in wholesale deposits of $127.3 million or 36.5% during the first nine months of the year. The Bank produced $31 million in new commercial loan balances in the third quarter compared to $16 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting continued client confidence. Loans Held for Investment were flat in the quarter as a result of the payment and resolution of $6.7 million in Classified Assets in the quarter. We continue to contribute to our allowance as we work through problem assets and navigate a period elevated risk and weakening economic conditions in our market. Our levels of liquidity and capital continue to provide resiliency at a time of market uncertainty. The reduction in short term rates that occurred at the end of the third quarter is expected to positively impact margin and earnings in the year ahead."

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights include:

The Company posted net income of $1,122,930 or $0.16 per diluted share for the third quarter compared to net income of $799,896 or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and net income of $344,919 or $0.05 per diluted share for the three months ending September 30, 2024.
Tangible Book Value per share¹ increased during the quarter to $12.45 on September 30, 2025, compared to $12.01 on June 30, 2025.
Return on Average Assets ("ROAA") was 0.41% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to ROAA of 0.29% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and 0.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Return on Average Equity ("ROAE") was 5.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to ROAE of 3.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 1.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Total Assets were $1.03 billion on September 30, 2025, a decrease of $40.7 million or 3.80% from total assets on June 30, 2025 as the Bank reduced brokered funding.
Loans held-for-investment (excluding PPP loans) decreased by $737 thousand or 0.10% during the quarter.
Total deposits decreased by $63.2 million or by 6.89% during the quarter, $62.9 million of which was the intentional reduction in brokered CDs.
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $210 thousand from the linked quarter to $126.71 million and represented 14.82% of total deposits on September 30, 2025.
The net interest margin² was flat in the third quarter at 2.66%, same as the linked quarter and increased by 34 basis points compared to the same period in 2024. The change from the prior year's third quarter represents improvements in the cost of funds as the Bank has decreased its use of wholesale funding and rate reductions in overnight cost of funds in the capital markets.
The cost of funds was 3.19% for the second and third quarter, and lower by 57 basis points compared to the same period in 2024, as wholesale funding use was reduced and the market rate environment came down.
Non-interest income increased by 8.47% compared to the linked quarter and increased by 23.4% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in non-interest income in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher revenue from BOLI products and an increase in the value of investments in SBIC's.
Non-interest expense in the third quarter decreased by 0.38% compared to the linked quarter and increased by 0.99% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter and prior calendar quarter was primarily due to savings in professional fees and outside services.
The Efficiency Ratio3 was 77.43% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 77.57% for the linked quarter and 88.13% for the same period in 2024.
Uninsured deposits were 24.51% of total deposits and total liquidity⁴ was 136.91% of uninsured deposits on September 30, 2025.
Net charge offs increased in the third quarter and were 0.13% of average loans compared to 0.01% in the prior quarter. The ratio of non-accrual loans to loans held-for-investment was 2.30% on September 30, 2025, compared to 1.45% on June 30, 2025, and 1.52% on September 30, 2024. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.65% on September 30, 2025, compared to 0.98% on June 30, 2025, and 1.07% on September 30, 2024.
The Company had a loan loss provision of $496,824 in the third quarter, due to the charge-off of one consumer and one commercial loan. This was partially offset by reduction in the provision for unfunded commitments as those expired or were funded, and a reversal of a specific reserve for one corporate bond that was upgraded in the quarter.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-for-investment was 0.96% compared to 0.96% in the linked quarter.
The Company continues to be well capitalized and capital ratios continue to be strong with a Leverage ratio of 11.23%, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 14.64%, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital ratio of 14.64% and a Total Capital ratio of 15.53%.

Net Interest Income
The Company recorded net interest income of $6.75 million for the third quarter, lower by 1.85% compared to the linked quarter, and higher by 10.66% compared to the same period in 2024. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 2.66%, flat compared to the linked quarter and higher by 34 basis points compared to the same period in 2024.

The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the linked and calendar quarters.

Yields on average earning assets were 5.72% in the third quarter of 2025, lower by 1 basis point compared to the linked quarter, and lower by 21 basis points compared to the calendar quarter. The decline in yields on average earning assets in the third quarter was primarily due to reduction in market rates in the economic environment.
Loan yields increased by 2 basis points to 6.22% from 6.20% in the linked quarter, while yields on investment securities decreased by 10 basis points to 4.29% from 4.39% in the linked quarter. Loan yields decreased by 8 basis points, while yields on investment securities decreased by 56 basis points compared to the calendar quarter.
Cost of funds remained flat 3.19% in both the 2^nd and 3^rd quarter, and was lower by 57 basis points compared to the calendar quarter.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.42 million for the third quarter, an increase of 8.47% when compared to the linked quarter and an increase of 23.40% when compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in non-interest income in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in the value of investments in SBIC's and BOLI income.

Total Revenue ⁵Total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest income, before provision for loan losses, and non-interest income, was lower by 0.2% compared to the linked quarter and higher by 12.69% compared to the calendar quarter in 2024. The decrease in total revenue compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to lower average earning assets in the quarter. The increase over the prior year quarter stems improvements in both Net Interest Income, the improvement in margin, and from increased non-interest income via SBIC and BOLI income.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense in the third quarter decreased by 0.38% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 0.99% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest expense compared to both the linked and calendar quarters was primarily due to lower expense on professional fees and outside services.

The Efficiency Ratio was 77.43% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 77.57% for the linked quarter and 88.13% for the same period in 2024.

Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans increased in the third quarter to 2.3% of loans held-for-investment compared to 1.45% of loans held-for-investment at the end of the linked quarter, as five loans in the quarter went on non-accrual. Total non-performing assets (defined as the sum of loans on non-accrual, loans greater than 90 days past due and accruing, and OREO assets) were 1.65% of total assets as of September 30, 2025, compared to 0.98% of total assets, at the end of the linked quarter.

The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $496,824 related to two charged off loans in the quarter, partially offset by the release of specific reserves on an upgraded corporate bond and the reduction in provisions for unfunded commitments.

The Company's ratio of Allowance for Credit Losses to loans held-for-investment was 0.96% as of September 30, 2025, compared to the ratio of Allowance for Credit Losses to loans held-for-investment of 0.96% as of June 30, 2025.

Total Assets
Total assets on September 30, 2025 were $1.03 billion compared to total assets of $1.07 billion on June 30, 2025.

Total Liabilities
Total liabilities on September 30, 2025, were $944.17 million compared to total liabilities of $987.96 million on June 30, 2025, and total liabilities of $1.01 billion on December 31, 2024.

Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $210 thousand during the third quarter and comprised 14.82% of total deposits at the end of the third quarter. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased by $20 million during the quarter.

Stockholders' Equity and Capital

AOCI improved by $1.8 million over the quarter as rates came down and the bonds moved closer to maturity. The tangible book value of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2025, was $12.45 per share compared to $12.01 on June 30, 2025, and tangible book value per share of $11.39 on December 31, 2024. Excluding AOCI losses/gains, the tangible book value of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2025, was $14.58 per share compared to $14.39 on March 31, 2025, and $13.94 per share on December 31, 2024.

Stock Buyback Program

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased 214,400 of the 250,000 shares authorized for repurchase under the program.
