WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / National Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:NACB), the holding company for The National Capital Bank of Washington ("NCB" or the "Bank"), reported net income of $1,787,000, or $1.55 per common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $1,726,000, or $1.50 per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $5,374,000, or $4.67 per common share, compared to $4,416,000, or $3.84 per common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Earnings per share, cash dividends per share and average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the November 2024 4:1 stock split paid in the form of a stock dividend. The increase in year-to-date earnings was primarily attributable to higher net interest income driven by continued net interest margin expansion. While strong revenue growth aided the financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, the quarter was negatively affected by an increase in provision for credit losses due to both significant quarterly loan growth as well as an increase in specific reserves on one borrower relationship.

"Flushing Financial delivered strong results for the third quarter, with a 10 basis-point sequential expansion in both GAAP and Core net interest margin. These quarterly results marked a turning point for the Company and demonstrate the successful execution of our strategic priorities and the effectiveness of our balance sheet repositioning initiatives. The 5.7% year-over-year growth in average noninterest-bearing deposits, which now represents 12.2% of total deposits, reflects the strength of our customer relationships and provides us with a stable, low-cost funding base. Our tangible common equity ratio of 8.01% for the quarter was a considerable 101 basis-point improvement from a year ago, underscoring our commitment to maintaining robust capital levels. With our strong loan pipeline of $345.6 million and substantial liquidity position of $3.9 billion, we remain confident in our ability to navigate the evolving macroeconomic landscape. We will continue to adhere to our disciplined underwriting standards and proactive risk management practices as we remain focused on driving sustainable growth, increased profitability and creating long-term shareholder value." - John R. Buran, President and CEO
