American Marconi Wireless News - National Capital Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings and Quarterly Cash Dividend

Total assets ended the quarter at $763,751,000 on December 31, 2025. Total loans of $541,878,000 on December 31, 2025, reflected an increase of $4.1 million during the quarter and an increase of $22.7 million (4.4%) over the past twelve months. Total deposits increased $34.7 million during the quarter to $678,192,000 on December 31, 2025, and have increased $50.0 million (8.0%) over the past twelve months. The Company has focused on balanced growth over the past year with deposit growth providing funding for new loan opportunities. As a result, the Company continues to experience a relatively low reliance on wholesale funding sources and maintains strong levels of cash and available secured borrowing capacity to meet the financing and cash flow needs of our client base as well as continuing to pursue desirable new relationship opportunities.

The Company's net interest margin of 3.55% during the fourth quarter of 2025 was down slightly compared with 3.60% in the third quarter of 2025 but was up nicely compared with 3.42% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The past two quarters reflect strong deposit growth including some higher cost deposits. However, our strong mix of core deposits has allowed the Company to maintain a more stable cost of funds and combined with a favorable shift in our asset mix, has resulted in the improved net interest margin compared with the prior year.

Total shareholders' equity increased to $67,657,000 on December 31, 2025, from $59,209,000 a year ago due primarily to the retained earnings for the past twelve months. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.98% and 11.07%, respectively.

The Company experienced an increase in the level of non-performing loans to 2.55% of total loans on December 31, 2025, compared to 1.27% on September 30, 2025, and consisting primarily of four nonaccrual loans with two separate borrowers. Three of the loans are CRA-eligible multifamily loans, which participate in the DC Housing Voucher Program, while the fourth loan is a DC multifamily construction and development loan, which was put on nonaccrual during the quarter. All four loans have been individually evaluated for specific reserves using recent appraisals. The Company has recorded partial charge-offs on these loans of $1.4 million, including $972,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.21% on December 31, 2025, compared with 1.18% on December 31, 2024, while the net charge-off ratio was 0.26% for the full year of 2025. The Bank is working multiple paths to cost-effectively resolve these problem loans.

"Our 2025 results reflect a strong year of earnings growth and disciplined balance sheet management, delivering meaningful returns for our shareholders," said Jimmy Olevson, President and Chief Executive Officer to the Bank. "While the credit environment has become more complex, our team is prudently managing individual credits while working to maintain a conservative approach to reserves and capital. Relationship banking remains at the core of our strategy as we continue to support our clients and communities while focusing on our shareholders."

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.21 per share for shareholders of record as of February 12, 2026. The dividend payout of $241,714 on 1,151,020 shares is payable February 26, 2026.

In February 2025, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $600,000, allowing for purchases from time to time, in open market or private transactions with an expiration date of February 28, 2026. This program replaced the $300,000 share repurchase program approved in 2024. There were no share repurchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
