Shore Bancshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in these Notes as the “Company”), with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Nature of Operations
The Company engages in the banking business through Shore United Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a Maryland commercial bank with trust powers. The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from interest earned on commercial, residential mortgage and other loans, and fees charged in connection with lending and other banking services located in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The Company engages in financial service offerings through Wye Financial Partners and offers corporate trustee services through Wye Trust, a division of the Bank. The Bank also conducts secondary market lending activities through a division of the Bank. Mid-Maryland Title Company, Inc. (the “Title Company”), engages in title work related to real estate transactions. The Title Company ceased conducting real estate closings effective March 31, 2025. Operations will continue for as long as necessary to ensure that work in progress is adequately addressed.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair presentation of this interim financial information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There were 115 AFS debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, with unrealized losses totaling $9.3 million as of March 31, 2025. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its AFS securities portfolio as of March 31, 2025, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were primarily caused by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.
All HTM and AFS securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
All of the securities with unrealized losses in the portfolio have modest duration risk, low credit risk and minimal losses when compared to total amortized cost. The unrealized losses on debt securities that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since original purchase and are not related to credit concerns. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity for debt securities, the Company considers the unrealized losses to be temporary. There were 115 AFS and 184 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025. There were 111 AFS and 187 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024. Net unrealized losses of the AFS securities totaled $8.7 million and $10.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table provides information on the amortized cost and estimated fair values of investment securities by contractual maturity date at March 31, 2025.

The maturity dates for debt securities are determined using contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from amounts presented because certain issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.
The Company has securities that have been pledged as collateral for obligations to federal, state and local government agencies, and other purposes as required or permitted by law, or sold under agreements to repurchase. At March 31, 2025, the aggregate carrying value of pledged AFS and HTM pledged securities was $67.8 million and $214.6 million, respectively. The comparable amounts for December 31, 2024 were $67.9 million and $197.5 million, respectively.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities that have been pledged as collateral for obligations to federal, state and local government agencies, and other purposes as required or permitted by law, or sold under agreements to repurchase at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

There were no obligations to any issuer exceeding 10% of stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables.

The overall quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio is primarily assessed using the Bank’s risk-grading scale. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators are adjusted based on management’s judgment during the quarterly review process.
Consumer credit cards are monitored based on a borrower payment history. Credit card loans are classified as performing and are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due when, or in the opinion of management, the collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. As of March 31, 2025, there were seven credit cards that were evaluated based on economic conditions specific to the loans or borrowers, and were downgraded to substandard and nonperforming.
Loans subject to risk rating are graded on a scale of one to ten.
Ratings 1 thru 6 – Pass – Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.
Rating 7 – Special Mention – These credits have potential weaknesses due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. Special mention loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 8 – Substandard – Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adversely classified loans on the Bank’s watchlist. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the credit loss allowance analysis and/or place the loan on nonaccrual. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are nonperforming bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 9 – Doubtful – Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of substandard with the exception that the Bank has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable. The amount of loss is not discernible due to factors such as merger, acquisition, or liquidation; a capital injection; a pledge of additional collateral; the sale of assets; or alternative refinancing plans. Credits receiving a doubtful classification are required to be on nonaccrual. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 10 – Loss – Loss assets are uncollectible or of little value.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reduction, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, term extensions, and other combinations of actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no defaults on loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
As of March 31, 2025, one loan modification balance with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that was modified during the preceding 12 months was classified as current accrual and was for a $1.4 million commercial real estate loan.
Foreclosure Proceedings
There were $124 thousand of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and Repossessed Assets
OREO and repossessed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer from loans to foreclosed assets, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The Company had OREO and repossessed asset balances of $179 thousand and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and $179 thousand and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)
Mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained and the MSRs are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in mortgage banking revenue. The Company recognized a net servicing loss of $65 thousand and net servicing income of $88 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following table presents activity in MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 5 – Leases
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company’s long-term lease agreements for branches and offices are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.
The following tables present information about the Company’s leases as of and for the periods presented.

The Company also assumed trust preferred securities in the aggregate of $33.0 million as a result of the merger with TCFC in 2023 and the acquisition of Severn in 2021. Trust preferred securities consisted of $20.6 million issued to Severn Capital Trust I, $7.2 million issued by Tri-County Capital Trust I and $5.2 million issued by Tri-County Capital Trust II. The recorded balance of the debt acquired from Severn at March 31, 2025 was $18.8 million, net of the unamortized fair value adjustment of $1.8 million. At March 31, 2025, the junior subordinated debt securities of Tri-County Capital Trust I and Tri-County Capital Trust II had a recorded balance of $6.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, which are presented as net of the unamortized fair value adjustments of $553 thousand and $713 thousand, respectively.
The Company may periodically borrow from a correspondent federal funds line of credit arrangement, under a secured reverse repurchase agreement, or from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) to meet short-term liquidity needs. There were $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings from the FHLB at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The $50.0 million FHLB advance originated on May 7, 2024 was for an initial term of 18-months at a rate of 4.79%.The Company did not have any short-term borrowings from the FHLB at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Further information on these obligations is provided in the 2024 Annual Report.
Note 8 – Derivatives
The Company maintains and accounts for derivatives, in the form of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company recognizes gains and losses through mortgage-banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. We are exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan is locked in until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment, closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days, however, this period may be longer for construction to permanent loans that are originated with the intent of selling in the secondary market upon permanent financing. For these IRLCs and our closed inventory in loans held for sale, we attempt to protect the Bank from changes in interest rates through the use of to be announced (“TBA”) securities, which are forward contracts, as well as, to a significantly lesser degree, loan level commitments in the form of best efforts and mandatory forward contracts. These assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.
The following table provides information pertaining to the carrying amounts of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 10 – Regulatory Capital Requirements
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (leverage ratio). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from our primary regulator categorized the Bank, as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change the Bank’s classification. To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum CET1, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, which are outlined in the table below.
The following table presents the capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common stockholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank, cannot exceed net income for that
year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At March 31, 2025, the Bank could pay dividends to the Company to the extent of its earnings, so long as it maintained required capital ratios.
Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidance under GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. This accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, along with other mortgage-related items identified in the recurring fair value table below. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans, repossessed assets and OREO (foreclosed assets). These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:
•Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available for Sale Securities
Fair value measurement of AFS securities is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities as Level 2.
Equity Securities
Fair value measurement for equity securities is based on quoted market prices retrieved by the Company via online resources. Although these securities have readily available fair market values, the Company determined that they should be classified as level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy due to not being considered traded in a highly active market.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is determined based on Mark to Trade for allocated/committed loans or Mark to Market analysis for unallocated/uncommitted loans based on third-party pricing models (Level 2).
IRLCs
We utilize a third-party specialist model to estimate the fair value of our IRLCs, which are valued based upon mortgage securities (TBA) prices less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower (Level 3).

Forward Contracts
To avoid interest rate risk, we hedge the open locked/closed position with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, we allocate disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of our business, we enter into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time we make an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives, and we measure and report them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if we were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a Level 2 input. We have elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.
Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, Closed Loan Inventory, TBA derivative trades, and Mandatory Forwards may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advanced notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.
The following tables present the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. No assets were transferred from one hierarchy level to another during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Individually Evaluated Collateral-Dependent Loans
Loans for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent, and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, where applicable. Accordingly, collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
OREO (Foreclosed Assets)
Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 are determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.
Repossessed Assets
All repossessed assets are recorded at lower of the estimated fair value of the properties, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on current appraised value of an asset. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to repossessed assets to be Level 3 inputs. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Other Assets Held for Sale
Other assets held for sale are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. The fair value is determined based on the appraisal value, listing price of the property or collateral provided by independent appraisers, and is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, these assets are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial and nonfinancial assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are valued at lower of cost or market. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company’s common stock, OREO, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.
The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Fair values for March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were estimated using an exit price notion.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit and other commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to make loans are generally made for a period of 90 days or less. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 6.50% to 9.75%.
The following table provides information on commitments outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Bank had a reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.5 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The reserve was estimated based on the historic losses experienced by the Company. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the required funding of these exposures is uncollectible. While this evaluation is completed on a regular basis, it is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation arising from banking, financial and other activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the future liability, if any, arising out of current proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, or liquidity.
Note 14 – Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (stock-based awards). The following table provides information relating to the calculation of earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

There were seven thousand and one thousand anti-dilutive unvested restricted stock and performance stock unit awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 15 – Revenue Recognition
Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.
Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Trust and Investment Fee Income
Trust and investment fee income primarily comprise fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time, and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives.
Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.
Title Company Revenue
Title Company revenue consists of revenue earned on performing title work for real estate transactions. The revenue is earned when the title work is performed. Payment for such performance obligations generally occurs at the time of the settlement of a real estate transaction. As such settlement is generally within 90 days of the performance of the title work, the Company recognizes the revenue at the time of the settlement.
All contract issuance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had no contract assets or liabilities at March 31, 2025.
Other Noninterest Income
Other noninterest income consists of fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Fees and other service charges primarily comprise debit and credit card income, automated teller machine (“ATM”) fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income primarily comprises interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Mastercard and Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that rentals and renewals of safe deposit boxes will be recognized on a monthly basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.
The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 16 – Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segment is determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is designated the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company’s product and services offered. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance of product and customers are similar. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s business components such as revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company’s segment and in determination of allocated resources. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial services operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Refer to the “Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context clearly suggests otherwise, references to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are to Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company.

•the growth and profitability of noninterest or fee income being less than expected;
•the effect of legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry;
•the effect of any change in federal government enforcement of federal laws affecting the cannabis industry;
•the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies;
•changes in U.S. trade policies, including the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies;
•the impact of governmental efforts to restructure or adjust the U.S. financial regulatory system;

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
The most significant accounting policies that we follow are presented in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8. of the 2024 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements and in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans is a critical accounting policy. This policy is considered critical because it relates to an accounting area that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL represents management’s best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management’s assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using a cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an ACL to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the ACL on loans and the related provision for credit losses can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.
The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company’s control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management makes every effort to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
The Company’s management reviews the adequacy of the ACL on loans on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8. of the 2024 Annual Report for additional details concerning the determination of the ACL on loans.

All products repriced at favorable rates, and were partially offset by the seasonal run off of municipal deposits. NII and NIM were $41.1 million and 3.08%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024.
•Net Income Growth – Net income for the first quarter of 2025 increased $482 thousand to $13.8 million, from $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income increased due primarily to higher net interest income, which was partially offset by lower non-interest income due to lower mortgage banking activity and the absence of the one-time gain on sale of other assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million.
•Stable Asset Quality – Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.31% for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease from 0.40% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase from 0.28% for the first quarter of 2024. Classified assets to total assets were 0.36% in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease when compared to 0.45% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase when compared to 0.26% for the first quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $58.0 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $57.9 million at December 31, 2024 and $57.3 million at March 31, 2024. The ACL as a percentage of loans remained flat at 1.21% at March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024 and decreased compared to 1.23% at March 31, 2024.
•Improved Operating Leverage – The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2025 was 63.64% when compared to 64.21% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 76.93% for the first quarter of 2024. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio(1), which excludes amortization, was 59.25% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 60.28% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 62.37% for the first quarter of 2024.

Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent NII is NII adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. As shown in the table below, tax-equivalent NII was $46.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $41.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest and fees on loans of $1.9 million, interest on deposits at other banks of $2.4 million and interest on investment securities of $582 thousand.

Fluctuations in NII can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
NII was $46.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $41.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest and fees on loans of $1.9 million, interest on deposits at other banks of $2.4 million and interest on investment securities of $582 thousand.
The Company’s NIM increased to 3.24% for the first quarter of 2025 from 3.08% for the first quarter of 2024. Comparing the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s interest-earning asset yields remained flat at 5.35% while the cost of funds repriced at a faster pace resulting in a decrease of 11 basis points to 2.20% from 2.31% for the same period.
Provision for Credit Losses (“PCL”) and ACL
See discussion of the Bank’s PCL and ACL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $7.0 million, an increase of $436 thousand from $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking activity, driven by increased mortgage servicing activity and lower prepayment rates.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense of $33.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $3.0 million when compared to the first quarter of 2024 total noninterest expense of $36.7 million. The decrease in total noninterest expense from the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the absence of the fraud losses incurred in connection with the credit card fraud incident in the first quarter of 2024 partially offset by higher salaries and benefits expense and software and data processing costs.
Income Taxes
The Company reported income tax expense of $4.5 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 was 24.6% and 22.8%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations, resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers, are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent upon the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.
Based on management’s going concern evaluation, we believe that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s or the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank’s principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.
Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core deposits and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.
We derive liquidity through increased customer deposits, non-reinvestment of the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. As seen in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $70.8 million for the first three months of 2025, compared to a net decrease of $257.9 million for the first three months of 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the first three months of 2025 was mainly due to the decrease of $70.5 million in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase of $2.2 million in noninterest-bearing deposits.
To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term fund markets. At March 31, 2025, the Bank had approximately $1.35 billion of available liquidity, including $389.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $319.0 million in unpledged securities, $729.5 million in secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta, partially offset by FHLB advances and a letter of credit of $50.0 million and $39.1 million, respectively. The Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks whereby it has $95.0 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available to meet any short-term needs which may not otherwise be funded by the Bank’s portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. Through the FHLB, the Bank had available lendable collateral of approximately $729.5 million and $743.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB of Atlanta. The following table presents the Company’s liquidity in use and liquidity available as of March 31, 2025.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. 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 about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 12.50%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Bank was deemed “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2025.
The Company evaluates capital resources by the ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios. The Company and the Bank annually update its strategic plan, which includes a three-year capital plan. In developing its plan, the Company considers the impact to capital of asset growth, loan concentrations, income accretion, dividends, holding company liquidity, investment in markets and people and stress testing.

In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with certain standards that were developed by Basel III and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule currently applies to all depository institutions and bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $3 billion.
As of March 31, 2025, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank was classified as “well-capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. The following tables present the applicable capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company provides banking services to customers who do business in the cannabis industry. Prior to the second quarter of 2022, the Company restricted these businesses to include only those in the medical-use cannabis industry in the State of Maryland. During the
second quarter of 2022, the Company expanded its cannabis banking program to include both medical and adult-use licensees in other states, with an initial offering of the Company’s existing Maryland customers with multi-state operations. While the Company is providing banking services to customers that are engaged in growing, processing, and sales of both medical and adult-use cannabis in a manner that complies with applicable state law, such customers engaged in those activities currently violate federal law. The Company may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that it provides to these customers. While we are not aware of any instance of a federally-insured financial institution being subject to such aiding and abetting liability, the strict enforcement of federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to continue to provide banking services to these customers and the Company could have legal action taken against it by the federal government, including imprisonment and fines. There is an uncertainty of the potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements if the federal government takes actions against the Company. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not accrued an amount for the potential impact of any such actions.
The following is a summary of the level of business activities with our cannabis customers:
•Deposit and loan balances at March 31, 2025 were approximately $175.9 million, or 3.2% of total deposits, and $83.0 million, or 1.7% of total gross loans, respectively. Deposit and loan balances at December 31, 2024 were approximately $151.4 million, or 2.7% of total deposits, and $82.6 million, or 1.7% of total gross loans, respectively.
•Interest and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were approximately $1.1 million and $241 thousand, respectively. Interest and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were approximately $1.0 and $293 thousand, respectively.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets were $6.18 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $54.2 million, or 0.9%, when compared to $6.23 billion at December 31, 2024. The aggregate decrease was primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $70.8 million and held to maturity (“HTM”) securities of $11.5 million, partially offset by increases in available for sale (“AFS”) securities of $29.9 million and loans held for investment of $5.5 million. The ratio of the ACL as a percentage of loans was 1.21% and 1.21% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $389.0 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $459.9 million at December 31, 2024. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and wholesale funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year.
Investment Securities
The investment portfolio includes debt and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as either AFS or HTM. AFS investment securities are stated at estimated fair value based on market prices. They represent securities which may be sold as part of the asset/liability management strategy or in response to changing interest rates. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on these securities are reported net of related income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Investment securities in the HTM category are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and the ACL. We have the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. At March 31, 2025, 27.6% of the portfolio of debt securities was classified as AFS and 72.4% was classified as HTM, compared to 23.7% and 76.3% respectively, at December 31, 2024. See Note 2 – “Investment Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the composition of our investment portfolio.
Investment securities, including restricted stock and equity securities, totaled $675.1 million at March 31, 2025, an $18.7 million or 2.9% increase, compared to $656.4 million at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, AFS securities, carried at fair value, totaled $179.1 million, compared to $149.2 million at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, AFS securities consisted of 84.9% mortgage-backed, 11.4% U.S. government agencies and 3.7% corporate bonds, compared to 82.0%, 13.5% and 4.4%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the accumulated other comprehensive loss was $6.3 million, compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, HTM securities, carried at amortized cost, totaled $469.6 million, compared to $481.1 million at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, HTM securities consisted of 70.0% mortgage-backed, 27.5% U.S. government agencies and 2.5% other debt securities, compared to 70.0%, 27.6% and 2.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 97.2% and 97.1%, respectively, of the Bank’s carrying value of its investment portfolio consisted of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored agencies.
The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security, and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of the agencies, with the remainder being sub-debt of other banks.
The following table shows the amortized cost of HTM securities based on their lowest publicly available credit rating as of March 31, 2025.

Loans Held for Sale
We originate residential mortgage loans for sale on the secondary market, which are recorded at fair value. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of loans held for sale amounted to $15.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively. The Bank makes certain representations to purchasers in the sale of the mortgage loans related to loan ownership, loan compliance and legality, and accurate documentation. If a loan is found to be out of compliance with any of the representations subsequent to the date of purchase, the Bank may be required to repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser. At March 31, 2025 the Bank repurchased one loan of $415 thousand. No loans were repurchased as of December 31, 2024.

CRE Loan Portfolio
Our loan portfolio has a CRE loan concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and CRE loans. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential CRE concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s non-owner occupied CRE loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential CRE concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their CRE portfolios, and may be required to hold
higher levels of capital. The Bank has a concentration in CRE loans, and experienced significant growth in its CRE portfolio with its acquisition of The Community Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of the Chesapeake. Non-owner occupied CRE loans totaled $2.12 billion and $2.08 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and as a percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital + ACL were 357.37% and 359.52%, respectively. Construction loans totaled $365.7 million and $336.0 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and as a percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital + ACL were 61.69% and 57.99%, respectively.
The CRE portfolio has increased in the past two years. Management has extensive experience in CRE lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to its CRE portfolio. Monitoring practices are part of the Bank’s credit and risk departments’ annual test plans and are adjusted as needed on a quarterly basis if external or internal conditions merit changes. The Bank’s CRE monitoring plans include stress testing analysis to evaluate changes in collateral values and changes in cash flow debt service coverage ratios as a result of increasing interest rates or declines in customer net operating revenues. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our CRE concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, which may adversely affect shareholder returns.

Office CRE Loan Portfolio
The Bank’s office CRE loan portfolio, which includes owner occupied and non-owner occupied CRE loans, was $501.5 million, or 10.5% of total loans of $4.78 billion at March 31, 2025. The Bank’s office CRE loan portfolio included $136.8 million, or 27.3% of the total with medical tenants, and $54.6 million, or 10.9% of the total with government or government contractor tenants. There were 493 loans in the office CRE loan portfolio with an average and median loan size of $1.0 million and $388 thousand, respectively. Loan to Value (“LTV”) estimates are less than 50% for $180.1 million, or 35.9% of the office CRE loan portfolio, and greater than 80% for $10.6 million, or 2.1% of the office CRE loan portfolio. LTV collateral values are based on the most recent appraisal, which varies from the initial loan boarding to interim credit reviews. LTV estimates for the office CRE loan portfolio are summarized below and LTV collateral values are based on the most recent appraisal, which may vary from the appraised value at loan origination.

The Bank had 18 office CRE loans totaling $163.6 million that were greater than $5.0 million at March 31, 2025, compared to 18 office CRE loans totaling $164.5 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in this portfolio segment was the result of normal amortization and two large loan payoffs in the first quarter of 2025. For the office CRE portfolio, at March 31, 2025, the average loan debt-service coverage ratio was 1.8x and the average LTV was 49.0%. Of the office CRE portfolio balance, 74.3% is secured by properties in rural or suburban areas with limited exposure to metropolitan cities and 97.1% are secured by properties with five stories or less. Of the office CRE loans, $26.8 million will mature and $15.1 million will reprice prior to December 31, 2025. Of the office CRE loans, $2.2 million are special mention or substandard.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL was $58.0 million at March 31, 2025, $57.9 million at December 31, 2024 and $57.3 million at March 31, 2024. There were net charge-offs of $554 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $565 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming loans to enable the Company to maintain overall credit quality. The ACL as a percentage of period-end loans was 1.21% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The following table allocates the ACL by portfolio loan category as of the dates indicated. The allocation of the ACL to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the ACL to absorb losses in any category.

Classified Assets and Special Mention Assets
Classified assets decreased $6.1 million to $22.0 million, or 0.4% of total assets, at March 31, 2025, from $28.2 million, or 0.5% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. Classified assets are substandard loans, repossessed assets and OREO. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in substandard loans of $5.2 million and repossessed assets of $886 thousand. Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. Decreases in classified and special mention loan categories were due to loans related to our marine lending portfolio and residential mortgages, all of which are diverse in origination date. The Company’s risk rating process for classified loans is an important input into the Company’s allowance methodology. Risk ratings are an important input into the Company’s ACL qualitative framework.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets were $18.9 million, or 0.3% of total assets, at March 31, 2025, compared to $24.8 million, or 0.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. The balance of nonperforming assets decreased primarily due to a decrease of nonaccrual loans of $5.6 million and a decrease of $886 thousand of repossessed assets, partially offset by an increase in loans 90 days or more past due of $600 thousand.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure Reserve
The Company’s reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure was $1.5 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company is monitoring line of credit usage and has not seen substantive increases in usage or expected usage. The
Company will continue to monitor activity for potential increases in the off-balance sheet reserve in future quarters as customers use available liquidity.
Deposits
The following is a breakdown of the Company’s deposit portfolio at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total deposits decreased $68.0 million, or 1.2%, to $5.46 billion at March 31, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in total deposits was primarily due to a decrease in interest bearing demand deposits of $125.6 million, partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $60.8 million. The decrease in deposits is attributable to seasonal municipal runoff and a decrease in interest rate-sensitive cannabis-related deposits.
Total estimated uninsured deposits were $940.6 million, or 17.2% of total deposits, at March 31, 2025 and $905.3 million, or 16.4% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, there were $165.0 million included in uninsured deposits that the Bank secured using the market value of pledged collateral. The Bank’s uninsured deposits, excluding the market value of pledged collateral, at March 31, 2025 were $775.6 million, or 14.2% of total deposits.
The Bank is required to monitor large deposit relationships and concentration risks in accordance with regulatory guidance. This includes monitoring deposit concentrations and maintaining fund management policies and strategies that take into account potentially volatile concentrations and significant deposits that mature simultaneously. Regulatory guidance defines a large depositor as a customer or entity that owns or controls 2% or more of the Bank’s total deposits. At March 31, 2025, the Bank had one local municipal customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $221.7 million, which represented 4.1% of total deposits of $5.47 billion. At December 31, 2024, there were three customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $547.4 million, which represented 9.9% of total deposits of $5.54 billion.
Wholesale Funding – Short-Term Borrowings and Brokered Deposits
The Company’s wholesale funding, which includes FHLB advances and brokered deposits, was $50.0 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The $50.0 million FHLB advance was for an initial term of 18-months at a rate of 4.79%. This advance has the option to be called by FHLB at any time and matures on November 7, 2025. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no brokered deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase or overnight borrowings from correspondent banks.
For FDIC call reporting purposes, reciprocal deposits are classified as brokered deposits when they exceed 20% of a bank’s liabilities or $5.0 billion. Reciprocal deposits decreased $189.8 million to $1.46 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $1.65 billion at December 31, 2024. Reciprocal deposits as a percentage of the Bank’s liabilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 26.2% and 29.3%, respectively. For call reporting purposes, $344.4 million of reciprocal deposits were considered brokered at March 31, 2025, compared to $520.5 million at December 31, 2024.
Long-Term Debt
The Company occasionally borrows from the FHLB to meet longer term liquidity needs, specifically to fund loan growth when liquidity from deposit growth is not sufficient. Currently, the Company has no long term borrowing with FHLB as of March 31, 2025.
On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount with an initial interest rate of 5.375% of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2030.
As a result of the merger with Severn Bancorp, Inc., effective October 31, 2021, the Company acquired Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due in 2035 which had an outstanding principal balance of $20.6 million. The debt balances of $18.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $18.8 million at December 31, 2024 were presented net of fair value adjustments of $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Additionally, as a result of the merger with The Community Financial Corporation in 2023, the Company acquired Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, which had an outstanding principal balance of $12.4 million. The debt balance of $11.1 million at March 31, 2025 was presented net of a fair value adjustment of $1.3 million. In addition, the Company acquired 4.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a carrying value of $19.5 million at March 31, 2025. The notes’ aggregate balance of $19.1 million at March 31, 2025 was presented net of fair value adjustment of $396 thousand.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Statements included in the management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliation schedules that immediately follow.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the accompanying financial statement tables, contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. This financial information includes certain performance measures, which exclude intangible assets. These non-GAAP measures are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity
ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally-developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation, and management has procedures in place to evaluate and mitigate this risk. This risk and these procedures are discussed in Part II, Item 7A. of the 2024 Annual Report under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” Management recognizes that recent changes in interest rates have had an impact on the Company’s market risk. The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks remain unchanged, and we continue to monitor our actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 2024.
The Company prepares a current base case and several alternative simulations at least quarterly. Current interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In addition, the Company simulates additional rate curve scenarios. The Company may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment.
The Company’s internal limits for parallel shock scenarios are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Shock in Basis Points | | Net Interest Income | | Economic Value of Equity |
+ - 400 | | +/-25% | | +/-40% |
+ - 300 | | +/- 20% | | +/- 30% |
+ - 200 | | +/- 15% | | +/- 20% |
+ - 100 | | +/- 10% | | +/- 10% |
It is management’s goal to manage the Bank’s portfolios so that NII at risk over 12 and 24-month periods and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. As of March 31, 2025, the Company exceeded Board approved limits for percentage change in economic value of equity in the interest rate shock of -200 and -100 and at December 31, 2024, the Company exceeded Board approved limits for the percentage change in economic value of equity in the interest rate shock of -200. In both periods the Company exceeded board approved levels due to average lives and low level of market rates on non-maturing deposit instruments.
Measures of NII at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments. The below schedule estimates the changes in NII over a 12-month period for parallel rate shocks for up 400, 300, 200, 100 and down 100 and 200 scenarios:

Measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of the Company by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of the Company’s cash flows, and by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The below schedule estimates the changes in the economic value of equity at parallel shocks for up 400, 300, 200, 100 and down 100 and 200 scenarios:

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of
changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and its principal financial officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the PEO and the PFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
