Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of operations:
Capital Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland corporation and the bank holding company (the “Company”) for Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Company's primary operations are conducted by the Bank, which is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. The Company serves businesses, not-for-profit associations, entrepreneurs and others throughout the Washington D.C., Baltimore, other Maryland metropolitan areas, Florida, Illinois and North Carolina through seven commercial bank branches, one mortgage banking office, three loan production offices, three government loan servicing offices, and one credit card operations office. The Bank is principally engaged in providing commercial, real estate, and credit card loans along with other banking services, and attracting deposits.
The Company issues credit cards through OpenSky™, a digitally-driven, nationwide credit card platform providing secured, partially secured, and unsecured credit solutions, and originates residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market through Capital Bank Home Loans (“CBHL”), the Bank’s residential mortgage banking arm. Additionally, Windsor Advantage™, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a loan service provider that offers community banks and credit unions with a comprehensive U.S. Small Business Association (“SBA”) 7(a) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) lending platform.
In addition, the Company owns all of the stock of Capital Bancorp (MD) Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). The Trust is a special purpose non-consolidated entity organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the activity of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank, Windsor Advantage™, and Church Street Capital. The statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are all of a normal and recurring nature. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company reports its activities as four divisions and reporting segments: Commercial Banking, OpenSky™, Windsor Advantage™, and Capital Bank Home Loans. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.
Significant accounting policies:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The primary reference point for the estimates is on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable regarding the value of certain assets

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)
and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses, an amount and description for other segment items, the title and position of the entity’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance, and, on an interim basis, certain segment related disclosures that previously were required only on an annual basis. ASU 2023-07 also clarifies that entities with a single reportable segment are subject to both new and existing segment reporting requirements and that an entity is permitted to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss, provided that certain criteria are met. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective December 31, 2024. See Note 9 - Segments for new disclosures required by ASU 2023-07.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold, among other things. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company will update its income tax disclosures upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will update its expense disclosures upon adoption.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts reported in prior periods to conform to the
9
Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)
current period presentation. The reclassifications had no material effect on net income or total stockholders' equity.
Subsequent events:
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. For further information on a subsequent event related to the Company’s quarterly dividend, refer to Note 10.

As of March 31, 2025, management determined the Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. Further, management reviewed the Company’s holdings as of March 31, 2025 and concluded there were no credit-related declines in fair value. Additional information related to the types of securities held at March 31, 2025,

Municipal Securities — All of the Company’s holdings of municipal bonds were investment grade and there have been no payment defaults. Summary ratings information at March 31, 2025, based on the amortized cost basis and reflecting the lowest enhanced or underlying rating by Moody’s, Standard & Poors or Fitch, is as follows: AAA - 82% of the portfolio; AA+ - 8%; AA - 10%.
Asset-backed Securities — There were three investment grade asset-backed securities, and there have been no payment defaults on these securities.
As such, it is deemed the above listed securities are not in an unrealized loss position due to credit-related issues and no further analysis is warranted as of March 31, 2025.

The fair value at March 31, 2025 was determined using a discount rate of 13.5%, prepayment speeds ranging from 13.2% to 18.5%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of 0.7%. The fair value at December 31, 2024 was determined using a discount rate of 13.5%, prepayment speeds ranging from 12.8% to 18.2%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of 0.7%. The changes in fair value for loan servicing rights from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 was due to the refinement of assumptions used in the valuation of the servicing assets post acquisition.

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
•Residential real estate loans are primarily secured by owner-occupied primary residences and, to a lesser extent, investor-owned residences.
•Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner-occupied commercial real estate or non-owner-occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development and/or industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.
•Construction loans are typically secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate or non-owner-occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner-occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner-occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, multi-family complexes, land under development and/or other commercial and industrial real estate in process of construction.
•Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and/or other commercial property.

The Company did not make any modifications on loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Credit quality indicators
As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grade of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions in the Company’s market. From a credit risk standpoint, the Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risk of expected credit loss associated with each loan. Credit quality indicators are reviewed and adjusted regularly to account for the degree of risk and expected credit loss that the Company believes to be appropriate for each financial asset.
A description of the general risk ratings are described as follows:
Pass
Loans characterized as pass includes loans graded exceptional, very good, good, satisfactory and pass/watch. The Company believes that there is a low likelihood of credit deterioration related to those loans that are considered pass.
Special mention
A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 5 - Portfolio Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)
Substandard
A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Company management.
Doubtful
A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses associated with a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Ungraded
Ungraded loans represent credit card loans not included in the individual credit grading process due to the borrower type. The credit quality indicator for credit card loans is based on the delinquency status of the borrower as of the date presented.
The following table presents the balances of classified loans based on the most recent credit quality indicator analysis. Classified loans include Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful loans. Pass classified loans include loans graded exceptional, very good, good, satisfactory, and pass/watch. Credit card loans are ungraded as they are not individually graded. Charge-offs presented represent gross charge-offs recognized in the current period:

_______________
(1)Outstanding loan commitments in the credit card portfolio include $106.5 million and $97.2 million in secured and partially secured balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition of the contract. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will, at any given time, draw upon their lines in full. Loan commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee.
The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments and lines of credit are generally made on the same terms, including with regard to collateral, as outstanding loans. Management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments.
The Company maintains an estimated reserve for unfunded commitments and certain off-balance sheet items such as unfunded lines of credit, which is reflected in other liabilities, with increases or decreases in the reserve being charged to or released from operating expense. Activity for this account is as follows for the periods presented:

The Company makes representations and warranties that loans sold to investors meet the investors’ program guidelines and that the information provided by the borrowers is accurate and complete. In the event of a default on a loan sold, the investor may have the right to make a claim for losses due to document deficiencies, program non-compliance, early payment default, and fraud or borrower misrepresentations.

Note 6 - Leases
The Company’s primary leasing activities relate to certain real estate leases entered into in support of the Company’s branch operations and back office operations. The Company leases five of its full service branches and seven other locations for corporate/administration activities, operations, and loan production. All property leases under lease agreements have been designated as operating leases. The Company does not have leases designated as finance leases.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets are included in premises and equipment, and operating lease liabilities are included as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The historical weighted average discount rate was 5.10% at March 31, 2025 and 5.08% at December 31, 2024. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease pre-payments. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for separately as the non-lease component amounts are readily determinable under most leases.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s net lease ROU assets and related lease liabilities were $4.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 2024 balances of $5.3 million of ROU assets and $5.9 million of lease liabilities, and have remaining terms ranging from one to eight years, including extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into any material leases that have not yet commenced. The Company’s lease information is summarized as follows:

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company revised the estimate of adjusted servicing assets and other liabilities resulting in a $3.0 million increase in goodwill at March 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2025. Goodwill is preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available.
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s reporting units include attributable goodwill from the IFH acquisition. The Company has elected to perform a qualitative assessment annually as of October 1 to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.

Goodwill represents the intangible value of IFH’s business and reputation within the markets it previously served and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The customer list intangible and trade name intangible will be amortized over its expected useful life of 17 years and 15 years, respectively, using the straight-line method. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over its expected useful life of 10 years using the sum-of-the-years-digits method.
Amortization expense was $261 thousand and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 8 - Fair Value
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. This includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government and government agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a recurring basis:
Investment securities available-for-sale - The fair values for investment securities available-for-sale are provided by an independent pricing service and are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).
Loan servicing assets - The fair values of loan servicing assets are determined at a tranche level, based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts (Level 2), when available, or alternatively based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (Level 2).

Financial instruments recorded using FASB ASC 825-10
Under FASB ASC 825-10, the Company may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election, with respect to an item, may not be revoked once an election is made.
The following table reflects the difference between the fair value carrying amount of loans held for sale, measured at fair value under FASB ASC 825-10, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount the Company is contractually entitled to receive at maturity:

Note 8 - Fair Value (continued)
The Company has elected to account for loans held for sale at fair value to eliminate the mismatch that would occur by recording changes in market value on derivative instruments used to hedge loans held for sale while carrying the loans at the lower of cost or market. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no held for sale loans which were classified as nonaccrual.
Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis
Individually evaluated loans - The Company has measured expected credit losses based on the fair value of the loan's collateral and discounted cash flow analysis, where appropriate. Fair value of the collateral is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values consist of loan balances of $46.6 million and $34.9 million, with specific reserves of $10.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively.
Foreclosed real estate - The Company's foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on offers and/or appraisals. Cost to sell the real estate is based on standard market factors. The Company categorizes its foreclosed real estate as Level 3. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no foreclosed real estate held by the Company.

Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

Note 8 - Fair Value (continued)
The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective in nature and, therefore, the results are imprecise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.
As of March 31, 2025, the techniques used by the Company to estimate the exit price of the loan portfolio consists of similar procedures to those used as of December 31, 2024. The fair value of the Company’s loan portfolio includes a credit risk assumption in the determination of the fair value of its loans. This credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction. The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: variable rate loans, individually evaluated loans, and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above, and a further credit risk discount is applied through the use of a discounted cash flow model to compensate for illiquidity risk, based on certain assumptions included within the discounted cash flow model, primarily the use of discount rates that better capture inherent credit risk over the lifetime of a loan.
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values. Fair values for individually evaluated loans are estimated using discounted cash flow models or based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and investments in restricted stocks is the carrying amount. Restricted investments includes equity of the Federal Reserve and other banker’s banks.
The fair value of noninterest-bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase is the carrying amount.
The fair value of checking, savings, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of fixed maturity term accounts and individual retirement accounts is estimated using rates currently offered for accounts of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using current market rates for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The fair value of outstanding loan commitments, unused lines of credit, and letters of credit are not included in the table since the carrying value generally approximates fair value. These instruments generate fees that approximate those currently charged to originate similar commitments.

Note 9 - Segments
The Company’s reportable segments represent business units with discrete financial information whose results are regularly reviewed by management. The four segments include Commercial Banking, OpenSky™ (the Company’s credit card division), Windsor Advantage and Capital Bank Home Loans (the Company’s mortgage loan division).
Our Commercial Banking division operates primarily in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas and focuses on providing personalized service to commercial clients throughout our area of operations supplemented by lending outside of our primary market, and nationwide deposit verticals. Additionally, the commercial bank engages in government-guaranteed lending on a national basis.
The Company issues credit cards through OpenSky™, a digitally-driven, nationwide credit card platform providing secured, partially secured, and unsecured credit solutions, and originates residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market through Capital Bank Home Loans (“CBHL”), the Bank’s residential mortgage banking arm. Additionally, Windsor Advantage™, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a loan service provider that offers community banks and credit unions with a comprehensive U.S. Small Business Association (“SBA”) 7(a) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) lending platform.
The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the designated chief operating decision maker, based upon organizational design, leadership structure and
34
Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 9 - Segments (continued)
the Company’s products and services offered. The Company’s reportable segments are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and customers are similar.
The chief operating decision maker evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s business components by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and variance to the annual financial plan to assess the performance of the Company’s segments and in the determination of allocating resources and investments.
The chief operating decision maker uses revenue streams and other relevant market data to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess segment performance. Segment pretax income or loss, return on assets and the efficiency ratio is used to assess the performance of the commercial bank segment by monitoring the margin between interest income and interest expense. Segment pretax income or loss is used to assess the performance of the CBHL segment by monitoring the mortgage banking revenue from loan originations and sales. Segment pretax income or loss is used to assess the performance of the OpenSky™ segment by monitoring credit card interest income, interchange fees, and other fees. Segment pretax income or loss is used to assess the performance of the Windsor Advantage™ segment by monitoring the service charge revenues from Windsor™ customers.
Loans, investments, and deposits and fees provide the revenues in the commercial bank, loan sales provide the revenues in CBHL, credit card loan interest and fees provide the revenues in OpenSky™, and service charges and ancillary fees provide the revenues in Windsor Advantage™. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses and personnel provide the significant expenses in the commercial bank, cost of loan sales and personnel provide the significant expenses in CBHL, data processing and personnel provide the significant expenses in OpenSky™, and personnel provide the significant expenses in Windsor Advantage™.
Prior to March 31, 2025, the Company disclosed Corporate as a reportable segment. The Company has determined that what was previously deemed the Corporate reportable segment consists of other business activities that are associated with the Commercial Bank and are reflected in the tabular disclosures that follow. It should be noted that such restructuring of the tabular disclosure did not result in any changes to the Company’s revenue and expense allocation methodology. The Company restructured prior period tabular disclosures to achieve appropriate comparability.
Church Street Capital, LLC (“CSCl”) operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Bancorp, Inc. CSC originates and services a portfolio of primarily mezzanine loans with certain characteristics that do not meet Capital Bank’s general underwriting standards, but command a higher rate of return. At March 31, 2025, CSC had loans totaling $6.7 million with a collectively assessed allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $184 thousand. Refer to Note 5 - “Portfolio Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses” to the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion of the consolidated ACL. The operations of CSC are included within the Commercial Bank segment performance.
Accounting policies for segments are discussed in detail in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Segment performance is evaluated using income (loss) before taxes. Indirect expenses are allocated on revenue. Transactions among segments are made at fair value.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” and “Capital” refer to Capital Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank, N.A., which we sometimes refer to as “Capital Bank,” “the Bank” or “our Bank,” Church Street Capital, LLC, which we refer to as “Church Street Capital” or “CSC” and Windsor Advantage, LLC™, which we refer to as “Windsor Advantage, LLC™”.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended as a review of significant factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated.

They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or in our control. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, if a change occurs or our beliefs, assumptions or expectations were incorrect, our business, financial condition, liquidity and/or results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the heading “Risk Factors” under Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and those referenced herein and in other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, update or revise any industry information or forward-looking statements after the date on which they are made. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere might not reflect actual results and may prove unreliable.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them, as deemed necessary. Management has discussed the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company’s critical accounting policies and reporting estimates are fundamental to understanding the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part II. Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Overview
We are Capital Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company and a Maryland corporation incorporated in 1998, operating primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Bank, N.A., a commercial-focused community bank based in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. The Bank is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, received its charter in 1999 and began operations the same year. We serve businesses, not-for-profit associations, entrepreneurs and others throughout the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, other Maryland metropolitan areas, Florida, Illinois and North Carolina through seven commercial bank branches, one mortgage banking office, three loan production offices, three government loan servicing offices, and one credit card operations office.
On October 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of IFH. IFH merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the acquisition. Immediately following the acquisition, West Town Bank & Trust, merged with and into Capital Bank, with Capital Bank as the surviving bank.
The Company currently operates four divisions and reporting segments: Commercial Banking, OpenSky™, Windsor Advantage™, and Capital Bank Home Loans, In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and conform to general practices within the banking industry.
Our Commercial Banking division operates primarily in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas and focuses on providing personalized service to commercial clients throughout our area of operations, supplemented by lending outside of our primary market, and nationwide deposit
41
verticals. Additionally, the commercial bank engages in government-guaranteed lending on a national basis. Capital Bank Home Loans and OpenSky™ both leverage Capital Bank’s national banking charter to operate national consumer business lines. Capital Bank Home Loans acts as our residential mortgage origination platform and OpenSky™ provides nationwide, digitally-originated and served, secured, partially-secured, and unsecured credit cards to under-banked populations and those looking to rebuild their credit scores. Windsor Advantage™ generates fee income for the Company through its servicing, processing and packaging of SBA and USDA loans for its financial institution clients.
In addition to its subsidiaries discussed above, Capital Bancorp, Inc. owns all of the stock of Capital Bancorp (MD) Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). The Trust is a special purpose, non-consolidated entity organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.
Capital
As of March 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which it was subject, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we intend to monitor and control our growth relative to our earnings in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted throughout our MD&A by reference to “non-GAAP.” We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our non-GAAP results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of non-GAAP results increases comparability of period-to-period results.
Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.
For more information on the computation of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.”

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $13.9 million, compared to net income of $6.6 million for the same period in 2024, a 112.3% increase. Net income, as adjusted to exclude the impact of merger-related expenses (non-GAAP, excluding merger-related expenses), was $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For more information on the computation of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.”
Net interest income increased by $11.0 million, or 31.5%, to $46.0 million when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by organic growth and the acquisition of IFH.
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.2 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the same period in 2024. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.4 million, or 0.38% on an annualized basis of average portfolio loans, compared to $2.0 million, or 0.41% on an annualized basis of average loans for the same period in 2024. Of the $2.4 million in net charge-offs during the quarter, $0.9 million related to secured and partially secured credit cards and $1.4 million related to unsecured credit cards. Further, $0.1 million of net charge-offs were related to commercial and industrial loans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest income of $12.5 million increased $6.6 million, or 110.1%, from the same period in 2024, primarily due to the contributions made by the businesses IFH brought to the merged entity. Mortgage banking revenue of $1.8 million increased $0.4 million primarily due to an increase in home loan sales while credit card fees of $3.7 million decreased $0.2 million from lower interchange and other fee income recognized compared to the same period in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $38.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change included increases in salaries and employee benefits expenses of $5.2 million, occupancy and equipment expenses of $1.3 million, merger-related expenses of $0.6 million, other operating expense of $0.5 million, regulatory assessment expenses of $0.4 million, loan processing expenses of $0.4 million, data processing expense of $0.4 million and professional fees of $0.2 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Margin Analysis
Net interest income is our largest component of revenue and the driver of net income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets.
We analyze our ability to maximize income generated from interest earning assets and control the interest expenses associated with our liabilities, measured as net interest income, through our net interest margin and net interest spread. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income annualized divided by average interest earning assets for the same period. Net interest spread is the difference between average interest rates earned on interest earning assets and average interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
The table below presents the average balances and weighted average rates of the major categories of the Company’s assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Weighted average yields are derived by dividing annualized income by the average balance of the related assets, and weighted average rates are derived by dividing annualized expense by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown. Average outstanding balances are derived by utilizing average daily balances for the time periods shown. The weighted average yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to yield/rates. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

(3)For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, collectively, portfolio loans yield excluding credit card loans was 7.14% and 6.96%, respectively.
(4)For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, collectively, credit card loans accounted for 169 and 239 basis points of the reported net interest margin, respectively.
The net interest margin decreased 19 basis points to 6.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the same period in 2024 due to the acquisition of commercial loans from IFH, diluting the impact from OpenSkyTM. Commercial Bank net interest margin (non-GAAP) increased to 4.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 3.77% for the same period in 2024. For more information on the computation of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.”
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, average interest earning assets increased $833.3 million, or 37.0%, to $3.1 billion as compared to the same period in 2024, and the average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 8.24%, a 39 basis point decrease from 8.63%. Compared to the
45
same period in the prior year, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $639.9 million, or 46.4%, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.36%, a 54 basis point decrease from 3.90%.
The rate/volume table below presents the composition of the change in net interest income for the periods indicated, as allocated between the change in net interest income due to changes in the volume of average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates.
When comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024, the largest positive impact to total interest income was the growth in interest earning assets, from organic growth and the IFH acquisition. Growth (change due to volume) in the loan portfolio, excluding credit card loans, contributed $12.1 million to the increase in interest income. The variance in interest expense year over year was primarily impacted by organic growth in interest-bearing liabilities, and the IFH acquisition. Growth in interest bearing liabilities contributed $5.6 million to increased interest expense, while decreased rates contributed a reduction of $2.2 million of interest expense.
46
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense charged to current earnings to fund the ACL. For a description of the factors taken into account by our management in determining the ACL, see Note 1 “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses was $2.2 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the same period in 2024, primarily from a lower commercial loan portfolio provision of $0.7 million, offset by a slightly higher provision for OpenSky of $0.2 million. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.4 million, or 0.38% on an annualized basis of average portfolio loans, compared to $2.0 million, or 0.41% on an annualized basis of average portfolio loans for the same period in 2024. Of the $2.4 million in net charge-offs during the quarter, $0.9 million related to secured and partially secured credit cards and $1.4 million related to unsecured credit cards. Further, $0.1 million of net charge-offs were related to commercial and industrial loans.
The ACL as a percent of portfolio loans was 1.81% at March 31, 2025 as compared to 1.85% at December 31, 2024. The maintenance of a high-quality loan portfolio, with an adequate allowance for expected credit losses, will continue to be a primary objective for the Company. See additional discussion regarding the Company’s ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments credit exposures at March 31, 2025 in “Financial Condition - Allowance for Credit Losses.”
Noninterest Income
Our primary source of recurring noninterest income are credit card fees, such as interchange fees and statement fees, mortgage banking revenue and Windsor Advantage™ fee income in connection with its servicing, processing and packaging of SBA and USDA loans for its financial institution clients. Noninterest income does not include (i) loan origination fees to the extent they exceed the direct loan origination costs, which are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method or (ii) annual, renewal and late fees related to our credit card portfolio, which are generally recognized over the twelve month life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest income of $12.5 million increased $6.6 million, or 110.1%, from the same period in 2024 primarily due to contributions from the IFH acquisition. Government loan servicing revenue (Windsor Advantage™) totaled $3.6 million net of intercompany charges, government lending revenue (gain on sale) totaled $1.1 million, and revenue from loan servicing rights totaled $0.5 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, credit card fees of $3.7 million declined by $0.2 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily related to lower interchange and other fee income.
The Bank’s Capital Bank Home Loans (“CBHL”) division experienced an increase of 26.4% in mortgage originations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Origination volumes increased $13.7 million, to $65.8 million, in the first quarter of 2025, when compared to $52.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The gain on sale margin of 3.07% was the same for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2024. Mortgage banking revenue of $1.8 million increased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in salable originations as compared to the prior year.
Mortgage loans sold are subject to repurchase in circumstances where documentation is deficient or the underlying loan becomes delinquent or pays off within a specified period following loan funding and sale. The Bank has established a reserve under GAAP for possible repurchases. The reserve was $2.3 million and $2.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank did not repurchase any loans during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. The Bank does not originate “sub-prime” mortgage loans and has no exposure to this market segment.
Noninterest Expense
Generally, noninterest expense is comprised of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services, with the largest component being salaries and employee benefits expenses. Noninterest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, advertising expenses, loan processing expenses and other general and administrative expenses, including FDIC assessments, communications, travel, meals, training, supplies and postage.

Income Tax Expense
The amount of income tax expense we incur is influenced by our pre-tax income, our tax exempt revenue and our nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Income tax expense was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2024. Our effective tax rate was 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Investment Securities
To manage liquidity and supplement interest income earned on our loan portfolio, the Company invests in U.S. Treasuries, high-quality mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), government agency bonds, asset-backed securities and high-quality municipal and corporate bonds. The asset-backed securities are comprised of student loan collateral issued by the Federal Family Education Loan Program, which includes a minimum of a 97% government repayment guarantee, as well as additional support in excess of the government guaranteed portion.
The following tables summarize the contractual maturities, without consideration of call features or pre-refunding dates, and weighted-average yields of investment securities at March 31, 2025 and the amortized cost and carrying value of those securities as of the indicated dates. The weighted average yields were calculated by multiplying the amortized cost of each individual security by its yield, dividing that figure by the portfolio total, and then summing the value of these results to arrive at the weighted average yield. Yields on tax-exempt investments are not calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis.

As described in Note 3 - “Investment Securities” in the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” at March 31, 2025, management determined the Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. Further, management reviewed the Company’s holdings as of March 31, 2025 and concluded there were no credit-related declines in fair value. Additional information related to the types of securities held at March 31, 2025, other than securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government entities or agencies, is as follows:
Corporate Securities – There have been no payment defaults on any of the Company’s holdings of corporate debt securities. There are five securities all of which are subordinated debt of other financial institutions with face amounts ranging from $0.5 million to $2 million.
Municipal Securities – All of the Company’s holdings of municipal bonds were investment grade and there have been no payment defaults. Summary ratings information at March 31, 2025, based on the amortized cost basis and reflecting the lowest enhanced or underlying rating by Moody’s, Standard & Poors or Fitch, is as follows: AAA – 82% of the portfolio; AA+ – 8%; AA – 10%.
Asset-backed Securities – There were three investment grade asset-backed securities, and there have been no payment defaults on these securities.
As such, it is deemed the above listed securities are not in an unrealized loss position due to credit-related issues and no further analysis is warranted as of March 31, 2025.
Portfolio Loans Receivable
Our primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. Our portfolio loans consist of loans secured by real estate as well as commercial business loans, credit card loans secured by corresponding deposits at the Bank and, to a limited extent, other consumer loans. Our loan customers primarily consist of small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals, real estate investors, small residential builders and individuals. Our owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans and commercial business and investment loans provide us with higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and are complemented by our relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. Our credit card portfolio supplements our traditional lending products with enhanced yields. Our traditional commercial real estate and commercial
51
and industrial lending are principally directed to our market area consisting of the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan areas.
Residential Real Estate Loans. One-to-four family mortgage loans are primarily secured by owner-occupied primary and secondary residences and, to a lesser extent, investor-owned residences. Residential loans are originated through the commercial sales teams and CBHL division. Residential loans also include home equity lines of credit. Owner-occupied residential real estate loans usually have fixed rates for five or seven years and adjust on an annual basis after the initial term based on a typical maturity of 30 years. Investor residential real estate loans are generally based on 25-year terms with a balloon payment due after five years. Generally, the required minimum debt service coverage ratio is 115%.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are originated on owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties. These loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Business equity lines of credit totaling $3.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2024, are included in the commercial real estate loan category. Business equity lines of credit are commercial purpose lines of credit primarily secured by the business owners residential properties. Lender finance loans totaling $23.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and $28.6 million as of December 31, 2024, are also included in the commercial real estate loan category. Lender finance loans are loans to companies used to purchase finance receivables or extend finance receivables to the underlying obligors and are secured primarily by the finance receivables held by our borrowers. The primary sources of repayment are the operating incomes of the borrowers and the collection of the finance receivables securing the loans. Commercial loans that are secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate and primarily collateralized by operating cash flows are included in the commercial real estate loan category. Commercial real estate loan terms are generally extended for 10 years or less and amortize generally over 25 years or less. The interest rates on commercial real estate loans generally have initial fixed rate terms that adjust typically at five years. Origination fees are routinely charged for services. Personal guarantees from the principal owners of the business are generally required, supported by a review of the principal owners’ personal financial statements and global debt service obligations. The properties securing the portfolio are diverse in type. This diversity may help reduce the exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry.
Construction Loans. Construction loans are offered within the Company’s Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan operating areas to builders, primarily for the construction of single-family homes and condominium and townhouse conversions or renovations and, to a lesser extent, to individuals. Construction loans typically have terms of 12 to 18 months. The Company frequently transitions the end purchaser to permanent financing or re-underwriting and sale into the secondary market through its CBHL division. According to underwriting standards, the ratio of loan principal to collateral value, as established by an independent appraisal, cannot exceed 75% for investor-owned and 80% for owner-occupied properties, although exceptions are sometimes made. The Company performs a stress test of the construction loan portfolio at least once a year, and underlying real estate conditions are monitored as well as trends in sales outcomes versus underwriting valuations as part of ongoing risk management efforts. The borrowers’ progress in construction buildout is monitored against the original underwriting guidelines for construction milestones and completion timelines.
Commercial and Industrial. In addition to other loan products, general commercial loans, including commercial lines of credit, working capital loans, term loans, equipment financing, letters of credit, government guaranteed loans and solar energy related loans and other loan products, are offered, primarily in target markets, and underwritten based on each borrower’s ability to service debt from income. These loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily, on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most commercial business loans are secured by a lien on general business assets including, among other things, available real estate, accounts receivable, promissory notes, inventory and equipment. Personal guaranties from the borrower or other principal are generally obtained.
52
Credit Cards. Through the OpenSky™ credit card division, the Company offers secured, partially secured, and unsecured credit cards on a nationwide basis to under-banked populations and those looking to rebuild their credit scores through a fully digital and mobile platform. The secured lines of credit are secured by a noninterest-bearing demand account at the Bank in an amount equal to the full credit limit of the credit card. For the partially secured lines of credit, the Bank offers certain customers an unsecured line in excess of their secured line of credit by using a proprietary scoring model, which considers credit score and repayment history (typically a minimum of six months of on-time payments, but ultimately determined on a case-by-case basis). Partially secured and unsecured credit cards are only extended to existing secured card customers who have demonstrated sound credit behaviors. Approximately $81.3 million and $87.2 million in secured and partially secured credit card balances were protected by savings deposits held by the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unsecured balances were $39.0 million and $42.4 million, respectively, at the same dates.
Other Consumer Loans. To a limited extent and typically as an accommodation to existing customers, personal consumer loans, such as term loans, car loans and boat loans are offered.
Purchased Credit Deterioration. Acquired loans, including those acquired in a business combination, are evaluated to determine if they have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. When the condition exists, these loans are referred to as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”). An allowance is recognized for a PCD loan by adding it to the purchase price or fair value in a business combination. There is no provision for credit losses recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan since the initial allowance is established through purchase accounting. After initial recognition, the accounting for a PCD loan follows the credit loss model that applies to the loan category. Purchased financial loans that do not have a more-than-significant deterioration in credit quality since origination are accounted for in a manner consistent with originated loans. An allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for credit losses. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the methods utilized to estimate the required ACL for these loans is similar to the method used for organically originated loans. There were no loans purchased with credit deterioration during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The repayment of loans is a source of additional liquidity for the Company. The following table details contractual maturities of our portfolio loans, along with an analysis of loans maturing after one year categorized by rate characteristic. Loans with adjustable interest rates are shown as maturing in the period during which the contract is due. The table does not reflect the effects of possible prepayments.

Nonperforming Assets
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. In general, we place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due. We also place loans on nonaccrual status if they are less than 90 days past due if the collection of principal or interest is in doubt. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed from income. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are, in management’s opinion, reasonably assured.
Loans are generally charged-off in part or in full when management determines the loan to be uncollectible. Factors for charge-off that may be considered include: repayments deemed to be extended out beyond reasonable time frames, customer bankruptcy and lack of assets, and/or collateral deficiencies. Consumer credit card balances are moved into the charge off queue after they become more than 90 days past due and are charged off not later than 120 days after they become past due. Otherwise, loans that are past due for 180 days or more are charged off unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.
The Company believes its approach to lending and the management of nonperforming assets has resulted in sound asset quality and timely resolution of problem assets. The Company has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by our bankers, and routinely monitors our delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance, however, that our loan portfolio will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit.
From a credit risk standpoint, we grade watchlist and problem loans into one of five credit quality indicators: pass/watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with each loan. Credit ratings are reviewed regularly and then adjusted regularly to reflect the degree of risk and loss that our management believes to be appropriate for each credit. Our lending policy requires the routine monitoring of past due reports, daily overdraft reports, monthly maturing loans, monthly risk rating reports and internal loan review reports. The lending and credit management of the Bank meet periodically to review loans rated pass/watch. The focus of each meeting is to identify and promptly determine any necessary required action within this loan population, which consists of loans that, although considered satisfactory and performing to terms, may exhibit special risk features that warrant management’s attention.
56
Management is intent on maintaining a strong credit review function and risk rating process. The Company has an experienced credit administration function, which provides independent analysis of credit requests and the management of problem credits. The credit department has developed and implemented analytical procedures for evaluating credit requests, has refined the Company’s risk rating system, and continually endeavors to adapt and enhance the monitoring of the loan portfolio. The loan portfolio analysis process is intended to contribute to the identification of weaknesses before they become more severe.
A special mention loan has potential weaknesses deserving of management’s attention. If uncorrected, such weaknesses may, at a future date, impair the repayment prospects for the asset or our credit position.
Loans that are deemed special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss are listed in the Bank’s Problem Loan Status Report. The Problem Loan Status Report provides a detailed summary of the borrower and guarantor status, loan accrual status and collateral evaluation and it includes a description of the planned collection and administration program designed to mitigate the Bank’s risk of loss and remove the loan from problem status. The Special Asset Committee reviews the Problem Loan Status Report on a quarterly basis for borrowers with an overall loan exposure in excess of $250,000.
At March 31, 2025, the recorded investment in individually assessed loans was $46.6 million, requiring a specific reserve of $10.1 million. At December 31, 2024, the recorded investment in individually assessed loans was $34.9 million, requiring a specific reserve of $9.3 million. The $34.9 million of individually assessed loans at December 31, 2024 included a single multi-unit residential real estate loan secured by four properties with a balance of $7.6 million at December 31, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)
We maintain an ACL that represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses and risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The balance of the ACL is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loss rates, changes in the nature of our loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loss rates.
We continue to monitor the unique economic environment in the DMV area with regard to the impact on our customers and credit risk. Management believes that the current ACL coverage ratio captures currently forecasted economic conditions and management’s assessment of the economic forecast through qualitative factors.
A major consideration in the determination of the ACL on the credit card portfolio is based on historical loss experience in that portfolio. The Company calculates the credit card ACL collectively, applying segmentation based on collateral positions: secured, partially secured and unsecured.

As the loan portfolio and ACL review processes continue to evolve, there may be changes to elements of the allowance and this may influence the overall level of the allowance maintained. Historically, the Bank has enjoyed a high-quality loan portfolio with relatively low levels of net charge-offs and low delinquency rates. The maintenance of a high-quality portfolio will continue to be a priority.
Although we believe we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL is currently adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio, future provisions for credit losses will be subject to ongoing evaluations of the risks in our loan portfolio.
The following table shows the allocation of the ACL among loan categories as of the dates indicated. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any loan category.

Deposit costs decreased 17 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by a lower interest rate environment.
Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.1% of total deposits at March 31, 2025 compared to 29.4% at December 31, 2024. Insured and protected deposits were approximately $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2025, representing 70.4% of the Company’s deposit portfolio. The insured and protected amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.

Borrowings
We utilize short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits to fund our lending and investment activities, each of which is discussed below. Total borrowings of $34.1 million at March 31, 2025 remained the same compared to December 31, 2024.
FHLB Advances. The FHLB allows us to borrow up to 25% of our assets on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $785.5 million in real estate loans were pledged as collateral to the FHLB and our total borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $531.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, no investment securities were pledged with the FHLB. We utilize these borrowings to meet liquidity needs and to fund certain fixed rate loans in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, we had $22.0 million in outstanding advances and $509.7 million in available borrowing capacity from the FHLB.
60
Other Borrowed Funds. The Company has also issued junior subordinated debentures and other subordinated notes. At March 31, 2025, these other borrowings amounted to $12.1 million, consisting of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures and subordinated notes.
At March 31, 2025, our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures amounted to $2.1 million. The Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Floating Rate Debentures”) were issued in June of 2006, mature on June 15, 2036, and may be redeemed prior to that date under certain circumstances. The principal amount of the Floating Rate Debentures has not changed since issuance, and they accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% (or 26.161 basis points) plus 187 basis points, payable quarterly. As of March 31, 2025, the rate for the Floating Rate Debentures was 6.43%.
On November 30, 2020, the Company issued $10.0 million in subordinated notes due in 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes have a ten year term and have a fixed rate of 5.00% for the first five years; thereafter, the rate resets quarterly to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the three-month SOFR, plus 490 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed in part or in whole, upon the occurrence of certain events.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has an available borrower in custody arrangement which allows us to borrow on a collateralized basis. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Federal Reserve’s discount window program was $115.7 million as of March 31, 2025. Certain investment securities and commercial loans are pledged under this arrangement. During the first quarter of 2023, we established a line of credit under the Federal Reserve Bank’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”). As of March 31, 2024, participation in the BTFP had concluded and the Company had no outstanding balances under the BTFP at March 31, 2024.
Other Borrowings. The Company also has available lines of credit of $76.0 million with other correspondent banks at March 31, 2025, as well as access to certificate of deposit funding through financial intermediaries. There were no outstanding balances on the lines of credit from correspondent banks at March 31, 2025.
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the Bank’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Bank’s ability to meet both expected and unexpected cash flows and collateral needs efficiently and without adversely affecting either daily operations or the financial condition of the Bank. Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The Bank’s obligations, and the funding sources used to meet them, depend significantly on our business mix, balance sheet structure and the cash flow profiles of our on- and off-balance sheet obligations. In managing our cash flows, management endeavors to anticipate situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk. These include funding mismatches, market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or in accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity) and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputational risks also could affect the Bank’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in the assessment of liquidity and asset/liability management.
Management has established a risk management process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is integrated into our risk management processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include: corporate governance consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage and mitigate liquidity risk; liquidity risk measurement and monitoring systems (including assessments of the current and prospective cash flows or sources and uses of funds) that are believed to be commensurate with the complexity and business activities of the Bank; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; a
61
diverse mix of existing and potential future funding sources; holding liquid marketable securities that can be used to meet liquidity needs in situations of stress; contingency funding plans that address potential adverse liquidity events and emergency cash flow requirements; and internal controls and internal audit processes believed to be sufficient to assure the adequacy of the institution’s liquidity risk management process.
We expect funds to be available from a number of basic banking activity sources, including the core deposit base, the repayment and maturity of loans and investment security cash flows. Other potential funding sources include brokered certificates of deposit, deposit listing services, CDARS, borrowings from the FHLB and other lines of credit.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $509.7 million of available borrowing capacity from the FHLB, $115.7 million of available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Borrower in Custody program from certain pledged investment securities and commercial loans under this arrangement and available lines of credit of $76.0 million with other correspondent banks. Further, unpledged investment securities available as collateral for potential additional borrowings totaled $119.5 million at March 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were $294.0 million at March 31, 2025.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity increased $14.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 largely due to net income of $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Shares repurchased and retired for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as part of the Company’s stock repurchase program, totaled 22,185 shares at an average price of $27.85, for a total cost of $0.6 million including commissions.
The Company’s total stockholders’ equity is affected by fluctuations in the fair values of investment securities available-for-sale. The difference between amortized cost and fair value of investment securities, net of deferred income tax, is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is excluded from the Bank’s and Company’s regulatory capital ratios. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of deferred income tax, amounted to $9.2 million at March 31, 2025 and $11.5 million at December 31, 2024. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss are excluded from earnings and directly increase or decrease stockholders’ equity. To the extent unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale result from credit losses, unrealized losses are recorded as a charge against earnings. The investment securities section of the MD&A and Notes 1 and 4 to the “Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” provide additional information concerning management’s evaluation of investment securities available-for-sale for credit losses at March 31, 2025.
The Company uses several indicators of capital strength. The most commonly used measure is common equity to total assets (computed as equity divided by total assets), which was 9.94% at March 31, 2025 and 11.07% at December 31, 2024.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can precipitate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and
62
off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1,250%. The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio.
The ability of the Company to continue to grow is dependent on its earnings and those of the Bank, and the ability to obtain additional funds for contribution to the Bank’s capital, through additional borrowings, through the sale of additional common stock or preferred stock, or through the issuance of additional qualifying capital instruments, such as subordinated debt. The capital levels required to be maintained by the Company and Bank may be impacted as a result of the Bank’s concentrations in commercial real estate loans. See "Risks Related to Our Operations and the Regulation of Our Industry” in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which it was subject, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we intend to monitor and control our growth relative to our earnings in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.
The following table presents the regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated.

Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Our liquidity monitoring and management consider both present and future demands for and sources of liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amounts of these commitments. The same credit policies and procedures are generally used in making these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. We are not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these commitments; however, we maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments and certain off-balance sheet credit risks, which is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Our commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring by period as of the date indicated are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect actual future cash funding requirements.

Unfunded lines of credit represent unused credit facilities to our current borrowers. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, we would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, we would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer from the underlying collateral, which can include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and/or marketable securities. Our policies generally require that letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements. We believe the credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is substantially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to our customers.
We seek to minimize our exposure to loss under letters of credit and credit commitments by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. The effect on our revenue, expenses, cash flows and liquidity of the unused portions of these letters of credit commitments cannot be precisely predicted because we do not control the extent to which the lines of credit may be used.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn, the total commitment amounts disclosed
64
above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by us, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
The commitment to fund other investments reflects an obligation to make an investment in a Small Business Investment Company.
Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession.
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, most other operating expenses are sensitive to changes in levels of inflation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our non-GAAP results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of non-GAAP results increases comparability of period-to-period results.
Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We endeavor to manage our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.
Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
We endeavor to manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options or financial futures contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We endeavor to hedge the interest rate risks of our available-for-sale mortgage pipeline by using MBS, and short positions. Based on the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. The ALCO formulates strategies based on perceived levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook for interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The ALCO meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the ALCO reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and an interest rate shock simulation model.
The following table indicates that, for periods less than one year, rate-sensitive assets exceeded rate-sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset-sensitive position. For a bank with an asset-sensitive position, or positive gap, rising interest rates would generally be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income, and falling interest rates would generally be expected to have the opposite effect.

We use quarterly Earnings at Risk (“EAR”) simulations to assess the impact of changing interest rates on our earnings under a variety of scenarios and time horizons. These simulations utilize both instantaneous and parallel changes in the level of interest rates, as well as non-parallel changes such as changing slopes and twists of the yield curve. Static simulation models are based on current exposures and assume a constant balance sheet with no new growth. Dynamic simulation models are also utilized that rely on assumptions regarding changes in existing lines of business, new business, and changes in management and client behavior.
We also use economic value-based methodologies to measure the degree to which the economic values of the Bank’s positions change under different interest rate scenarios. The economic-value approach focuses on a longer-term time horizon and endeavors to capture all future cash flows expected from existing assets and liabilities. The economic value model utilizes a static approach in that the analysis does not incorporate new business; rather, the analysis shows a snapshot in time of the risk inherent in the balance sheet.
71
Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our net interest income, such as asset prepayments, non-maturity deposit price sensitivity and decay rates, and key rate drivers. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the model, our actual results may, and very likely will, differ from our static EAR results. In addition, static EAR results do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or client behavior. For example, as part of our asset/liability management strategy, management has the ability to increase asset duration and decrease liability duration in order to reduce asset sensitivity, or to decrease asset duration and increase liability duration in order to increase asset sensitivity.
The following table summarizes the results of our EAR analysis in simulating the change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of March 31, 2025:

Utilizing an economic value of equity (“EVE”) approach, we analyze the risk to capital from the effects of various interest rate scenarios through a long-term discounted cash flow model. This measures the difference between the economic value of our assets and the economic value of our liabilities, which is a proxy for our liquidation value. While this provides some value as a risk measurement tool, management believes EAR is more appropriate in accordance with the going concern principle.
The following table illustrates the results of our EVE analysis as of March 31, 2025.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation did not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures that are involved in, and did not include an assessment of, internal control over financial reporting as it relates to IFH. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the first quarter of 2025, management enhanced the Company’s internal controls over business combinations with specific attention to Day 1 accounting controls. The revisions explicitly address the processes required to provide adequate evidence of the review of the controls over the Purchase Accounting workbook, including the calculation of goodwill, and the controls over documentation supporting the identification and establishment of day 1 PCD credit marks. These controls are acquisition related and will be tested if there is a future acquisition.
