Expanding Net Interest Margin, Resilient Loan Portfolio and Well Capitalized

Fairfax, VA., April 21, 2025 — MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNSB & MNSBP), the financial holding company for MainStreet Bank, reported first quarter net income of $2.5 million with a net interest margin of 3.30%, up 34 basis points from the previous quarter. Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $16.5 million, up $3.9 million from the previous quarter and earnings per common share were $0.25 for the first quarter. The Company continues to report strong asset quality and strong capital.

Total deposits maintained their level at $1.9 billion, with total funding costs improving by 24 basis points from the previous quarter to 3.49%. “Our net interest margin expansion was fueled primarily by an opportunity to replace higher cost deposits,” said Alex Vari, Chief Accountant for MainStreet Bank. “We worked diligently to optimize pricing on our deposit stack, while also structuring $211 million of our $578 million in noncore deposits to reprice quickly should rates adjust down.” The loan-to-deposit ratio of 96% indicates efficient utilization of deposit funds for lending.

Nonperforming loans held steady at a low level of $21.7 million during the quarter, with another $11.2 million expected to pay off at par in the second quarter based upon a successful court-approved resolution. Chief Credit Officer Chris Johnston said, “The resolution of nonperforming loans is a testament to the team’s diligent and creative efforts to work together with borrowers to find positive outcomes in a timely manner.”

Total assets were $2.2 billion with gross loans demonstrating stability at $1.8 billion. “We remain cautiously optimistic about the DC Metropolitan market,” said Abdul Hersiburane, President of MainStreet Bank. “Our team is steadfast on serving our customers but taking conservative steps as we monitor the early days that come with a new administration.”

Banking-as-a-Service

"This quarter saw a change in direction for the Avenu technology initiative, which will not be moving forward,” according to Chairman and CEO Jeff W. Dick. “The timeline for the expected return on invested capital extended beyond the Company’s plan, and we decided to devote our energy on the core bank.”
