From Larry F. Mazza, Chief Executive Officer, MVB Financial:

“MVB delivered solid fourth quarter results to close out a successful 2025, with strong momentum building across our entire business platform. We benefited from the tailwind of net interest income growth, net interest margin expansion and a third consecutive quarter of strong loan growth. Loan pipelines remain healthy and core fee income categories continue to build momentum as we enter the first quarter of 2026, positioning us for sustained growth.

“2025 was a year of significant accomplishment for MVB – one in which we strengthened fundamentals across the board, sharpened our strategic focus and laid the groundwork for sustained improvement. Additionally, the successful sale of Victor validated our innovative Fintech incubator strategy, while providing capital flexibility to accelerate our growth initiatives and further optimize our balance sheet. We’re executing on our strategic initiatives and building toward enhanced profitability that positions us well for 2026 and beyond. In addition, my recent personal decision to exercise options and retain all shares underscores my deep confidence in our strategic execution and strong momentum in our business.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

• Continued strong loan growth and net interest margin expansion drive robust net interest income growth.
  • Net interest income and net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure¹, increased $1.8 million, or 6.8%, to $28.4 million and $1.7 million, or 6.5%, to $28.5 million, respectively, relative to the prior quarter, primarily reflecting a higher net interest margin and higher average earning asset balances.
  • Net interest margin and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure¹, was 3.70% and 3.71%, up 17 and 16 basis points, respectively, from the prior quarter, primarily reflecting lower funding costs and higher average earning asset yields.
  • Total cost of funds was 2.30%, a nine basis point improvement from the prior quarter, reflecting lower rates paid on all interest-bearing deposit categories and a positive shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities.
  • The yield on average earning assets was 5.94%, up four basis points from the prior quarter, reflecting a positive shift in the mix of earning assets, including higher loan and investment portfolio balances and less cash, and higher investment portfolio yields, owing to the previously-disclosed balance sheet restructuring actions.
  • Total loan balances were $2.34 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $83.8 million, or 3.7%, from September 30, 2025, and $243.0 million, or 11.6%, from December 31, 2024. The increase relative to the prior quarters reflects stronger loan demand and improved market conditions.
• Deposit mix shift improvement led by growth in noninterest bearing deposits.
  • Total deposits increased $66.0 million, or 2.4%, to $2.84 billion at December 31, 2025 relative to the prior quarter. Noninterest bearing deposits (“NIB”) totaled $1.14 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $117.5 million, or 11.4%, from September 30, 2025 and $203.7 million, or 21.6%, from December 31, 2024. NIB deposits represented 40.3% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025, compared to 37.0% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025 and 34.9% as of December 31, 2024. Growth in NIB deposits compared to prior quarters primarily reflected strong growth from new and existing relationship partners.
• Noninterest income and noninterest expense lower due to previously disclosed events; Core fee categories show momentum.
  • Noninterest income totaled $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decline of $23.9 million, or 69.1%, from the prior quarter, due primarily to the $34.1 million gain on sale of Victor Technologies, Inc. (“Victor”), partially offset by the $7.6 million net loss on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities related to the strategic repositioning of the securities portfolio during the third quarter of 2025.
  • Payment card and service charge income was $4.5 million, up 19.4% from $3.8 million during the prior quarter, due primarily to higher card acquiring income and interchange income. Equity method investment income from MVB’s mortgage segment was $2.8 million, up from $2.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • Noninterest expense totaled $31.5 million, a decline of $1.8 million, or 5.5%, from the prior quarter, due primarily to a decline in compensation-related costs associated with the sale of Victor during the prior quarter.
• Measures of foundational strength were generally stable.
  • The Community Bank Leverage Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and MVB Bank’s Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 11.1%, 13.7%, and 14.5%, respectively, compared to 11.1%, 14.1%, and 15.0%, respectively, at the prior quarter-end.
  • The common equity to assets ratio and tangible common equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure¹, were both 10.1% as of December 31, 2025, in line with the prior quarter-end level.
  • Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure¹, were $26.26 and $26.17, respectively, which represent increases of 0.7% relative to the prior quarter-end.
  • Nonperforming loans totaled $30.7 million, or 1.3% of total loans, as of December 31, 2025, compared to $26.2 million, or 1.2% of total loans, as of the prior quarter-end. Approximately two-thirds of nonperforming loans consist of commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans with a weighted-average loan to value of 55.5%.
  • Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans were 3.6% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 4.1% as of the prior quarter end.
  • Classified loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.3% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 2.4% as of the prior quarter end.
  • Net charge-offs were $3.9 million, or 0.68% annualized of total loans, compared to $0.7 million, or 0.12% annualized of total loans for the prior quarter. The increased level of net charge-offs for the quarter is attributed to aggressively managing certain commercial and industrial and Small Business Administration credits where we had built specific reserves and is expected to normalize going forward. The provision for credit losses totaled $2.1 million, compared to $4.4 million for the prior quarter. Provision expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 included strong loan growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by the Company. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
