| Statement |

| We recently completed an analysis and re-underwriting of our office portfolio, which affirmed the underlying quality and accuracy of risk ratings and overall strength and performance continues to be strong |
| And lastly, take advantage of the excellent reputation we built over the decades to grow client relationships continue to expand assets under management on our well businesses and evolve our delivery channels to make it easy to do business with |
| As we are successful in growing core funding create capacity to be more active in loan generation |
| A recent stress test confirmed that under several moderate and severe stress scenarios, lost expectations were very reasonable and capital remained strong |
| We remain confident in our personalized approach, the ease of doing business through our recently introduced digital channel and the value we give to our clients and community |
| We've got a great reputation and some really good talent |
| So it's -- I think we're in pretty good shape |
| So I think we're in pretty good shape in terms of the retention of talent |
| And then on the time deposit area, which we've also had a fair amount of success in terms of overall growth because, in fact, this period, there was no growth in brokered CDs, all of the growth in the time deposits as reported was or was in the core area |
| So I think at this point, our teams have done a great job taking care of clients managing production at a level we think is reasonable with funding and also shifting a lot of their efforts and emphasis to our deposit gathering and we adapted our incentive opportunities around that to try to preserve the opportunity to earn in a reasonable comparison to what had been predominantly loan-oriented incentive type of program |
| Income from mortgage banking activities increased $600,000 compared to the linked quarter, and total mortgage loans grew $57 million |
| Core deposits represented 88% of total deposits at the end of the current and previous quarter, reflecting the stability of the core deposit base |
| Despite the significant decline in non-interest-bearing deposit accounts year-to-date, the category that has still remained strong at 28% of our total deposit base |
| The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by higher income from mortgage banking activities, BOLI income and service charges on deposit accounts |
| We look forward to capitalizing on the momentum we've achieved to continue to deepen these relationships and onboard these clients to become their primary bank |
| So far, it's performed well |
| But today, we'll carry about a 4.5% break with that in which we've already generated growth in that category of over $300 million, throughout the last quarter, and we would continue to see that piece of the deposit base continue to grow |
| All of these ratios remain well in excess of the mandated minimum regulatory requirements |
| These levels of nonperforming loans compared to 40 basis points for the prior year quarter and continue to indicate stable credit quality during this period of economic uncertainty |
| After experiencing deposit runoff earlier in the quarter, deposits stabilized and we're beginning to see some growth in certain deposit categories predominantly savings and time deposit products |
| Wealth income stayed relatively unchanged at $9 million and assets under management at quarter end totaled $5.7 billion, representing a 4.8% increase since March 31, 2023 |
| Overall, credit quality remained stable as the level of nonperforming loans to total loans was 44 basis points compared to 41 basis points |
| And if we can continue to achieve some momentum as we saw the back half of the quarter and achieved some growth |
| We've been able to reposition some Fed funds and some home loan bank advances here, and we would look for similar stability related to the cost in that area, albeit subject to whatever impact might come from a couple of Fed rate increases |
| With an average length of 12 years, the retail deposit portfolio was also well diversified with no significant concentration |
| Great |
| And we'll continue to aggressively pursue new ways to expand our reach in the Greater Washington region as we have for the past 155 years |
| So we've clearly upped our game in all of those particular areas |
| As we noted in our press release, we remain focused on growing core funding and expanding our client base |
| During the current quarter, savings accounts time deposits grew 41% and 6%, respectively, while money market accounts declined by 9% |

| And in this case, the units have been slower to achieve targeted occupancy, therefore, creating some cash flow challenges for the borrower who is fully cooperating with the bank as we work through this |
| In the money market space, where I think we've had some of our greatest challenges in terms of retained balances |
| The decline in net income and core earnings compared to the linked quarter was driven by lower net interest income, coupled with higher provision for credit losses and non-interest expense |
| I mean, I think the -- last time we were talking, it was on the back end of some bank failures and obviously, concern across the industry as to what the funding situation would be |
| Both GAAP and non-GAAP have been negatively impacted by the decline in net revenue and growth in noninterest expense as we continue to invest in the future |
| So the guide you guys gave for the fourth quarter would imply they're coming down pretty nicely from the second quarter |
| Excluding this onetime gain, non-interest income declined by 7% or $1.4 million year-over-year due to lower insurance commission income as a result of sale and lower bank card fee income due to regulatory restrictions that went into effect in the second half of 2022 |
| Non-interest income increased by 8% or $1.2 million compared to the linked quarter and declined by 51% or $18.1 million compared to the prior year quarter |
| Compared to the linked quarter, the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities rose 44 basis points while the yield on interest-bearing assets increased 12 basis points, resulting in the quarterly margin compression of 26 basis points |
| With our current expectation that the Fed will increase the Fed funds rate by 225 basis point increments between now and the end of the year, we see our margin continue to compress into the low 260s for the next two quarters, based on what we believe we will need to do to offer deposit rates in our markets in order to remain competitive |
| We're not seeing leading indicators on office that would create concern |
| Any -- and I know growth is slow, so it's hard to churn through the portfolio |
| The year-over-year decrease in noninterest income was primarily a result of the sale of the Company's insurance segment during the second quarter of 2022 and the associated $16.7 million gain |
| The current quarter's net charge-offs occurred within the consumer loan portfolio due to the elimination of several non-accrual loans |
| I think we need rates to go down in order for us to really get any legitimate lift |
| Manuel Navas If we get a point where NIM is rebuilding, I guess, we're in an environment where we've had a couple of cuts |
| There's no question that our margin has been impacted by the series of rate increases that have occurred over the preceding 12 months, the fierce deposit competition in the market, clients moving funds into interest-bearing accounts and the construct of our balance sheet with a significant portion in fixed rate assets |
| And so then -- as we think about the other side of the balance sheet on loan yields, I know your loan betas have been slower just given the fixed rate component of your portfolio |
| There's also some costs in this quarter and into the third quarter related to some consulting and professional fees that go hand-in-hand with some of our technology investments that should slow towards the fourth quarter |
| This quarter's provision was primarily the result of an individual reserve established on one large commercial real estate relationship along with several charge-off of non-accrual consumer loans |
