Note 7. Borrowings

FHLB Borrowings

The Bank has a borrowing facility from the FHLB secured by pledged qualifying commercial and residential mortgage loans and securities. The FHLB will lend up to 30% of the Bank’s total assets as of the prior quarter end, subject to certain eligibility requirements, including adequate collateral. The Bank had borrowings from the FHLB totaling $150.0 million at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The FHLB borrowings required the Bank to hold $9.1 million and $9.4 million of FHLB stock as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in restricted equity investments on the consolidated balance sheets.

At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank also had letters of credit outstanding with the FHLB in the amount of $51.2 million, of which $50.0 million were for the purpose of collateral for public deposits with the Treasury Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia as of the same dates. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the available balance of the borrowing facility with the FHLB.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the secured facility totaled $565.5 million and $696.0 million, respectively, based on pledged collateral. Available balances on the FHLB credit facility were $364.4 million and $494.9 million

as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decline in the secured capacity of the FHLB borrowing facility as of December 31, 2025 from the prior year end was primarily due to the release of securities held as collateral.

At December 31, 2025, 1-4 family residential loans, multi-family residential loans, and commercial real estate loans classified as held for investment with a lendable value of $400.0 million and securities with a lendable value of $165.5 million were pledged for the borrowing facility with the FHLB.

The following table presents information regarding FHLB advances outstanding as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
