Q: What is management's assessment of the range of potential losses on the $28.8 million non-performing loan? A: CEO Jeff **** said the situation is unfolding in real time. The bank has ordered updated appraisals and broker estimates of value and is working every angle, but the outcome remains fluid. Chief Lending Officer Tom Floyd added that new information was learned on Friday, October 23, and management took action at that time; more will be known in the coming days and weeks. Q: What else do you see in the pipeline of potential credit issues, particularly given higher interest rates and borrower stress? A: CEO Jeff **** said the rate environment is profoundly different from 2023, when rates rose 5.25%. The recent 25 basis point hike is far less impactful, and the $76 million of five-year Treasury-indexed loans repricing over the next three quarters will be accretive. Chief Lending Officer Tom Floyd noted the bank can recast amortization if needed, and CFO Alex Berry said the $408 million of prime-indexed loans are largely construction loans with interest reserve balances built in to absorb rate changes. Management does not expect forthcoming rate changes to be as problematic as those in 2023 and 2024. Q: Do you need to build additional reserves, on either the balance sheet or unfunded portion, to accommodate future risk? A: CFO Alex Berry said the allowance for credit losses to loans rose modestly this quarter, largely due to the charge-off, which naturally raises the pooled provision for unidentified stress. Management reviews the allowance quarterly against local and macro economic conditions. The unfunded commitment reserve is largely driven by line utilization rates and will fluctuate naturally. Q: What are management's return on average assets and return on average tangible common equity goals, given the most recent ratios are low? A: CFO Alex Berry pointed to 2023 as the bank's best year and the target to return to: a return on average tangible common equity of 14%-plus and a return on average assets above 1%. Q: How much of the $1.8 million net charge-off was against the large loan that went bad? A: CFO Alex Berry said $1.4 million of the charge-off related to that one loan, with roughly $300,000 to $400,000 from other OREO properties disposed of during the quarter. The larger loan was downgraded to non-accrual after quarter end, so it is not reflected in the charge-off. CEO Jeff **** noted it was retroactively added to non-performing assets as of quarter end even though the decision was made late last week. Q: What were the interest reversals this quarter for loans that went to non-performing? A: CFO Alex Berry said a couple of loans going to non-performing required interest reversals, but the fully recovered loan generated more interest recovered than was reversed on the others, so the net effect for the quarter was positive. CEO Jeff **** added that the loan just placed on non-accrual had actually made its most recent September payment. Q: How significant are the delinquent loans in the 50-to-89-day delinquency bucket? A: Chief Lending Officer Tom Floyd said a number have been resolved since quarter end, roughly a third, and the rest are being worked rigorously. The watch list and substandard loans are reviewed in committee every two weeks until resolved. CEO Jeff **** said some are perennial slow pays and management does not view the bucket as highly significant or pointing to future problems. Q: What do you expect non-performing and classified loans to look like next quarter, in terms of resolutions and new additions? A: CEO Jeff **** said the $20 million relationship will either be paid off or turned over to the bank later this quarter; if turned over, it may not resolve immediately but will be through the court issues and able to be marketed. Chief Lending Officer Tom Floyd said the $14.5 million relationship has a plan with the borrower and is more of a first-quarter resolution, while the $6 million nine-unit condo project will likely sell down gradually rather than fully resolve this quarter. The $19 million pool is more granular, with some smaller loans expected to come out this quarter. Management is not currently seeing new additions but acknowledged that can change. Q: Can you talk about deposit competition and potential deposit flows over the next year as rates are higher? A: CFO Alex Berry said funding competition in the market is always fierce. There was some deposit froth ahead of the Fed move, followed by a pullback as the market digested the decision. The bank can be choosy about targeting increases and will lag deposit costs, particularly on the time deposit side, laddering them in while the floating-rate loan book reprices first, supporting margin stability. Q: Where does share repurchase rank on the priority list over the next 12 months? A: CEO Jeff **** said the bank must be mindful of its commercial real estate concentration, which is now back under the board's 375% limit. With that comfortable and a focus on C&I and owner-occupied lending, the bank will look at opportunities and still has room remaining in its current buyback authorization. Q: Is it fair to say capital could grow as fast as, if not faster than, the balance sheet at this point? A: CEO Jeff **** said earnings retention has always done a good job augmenting capital needs, and good loan opportunities remain. The biggest challenge is attracting reasonably costed deposits to grow alongside loans. The new head of business banking has brought on three new business bankers, with plans to add more, which should generate new low-cost relationships. CFO Alex Berry noted average non-interest-bearing deposit balances are up over 8% year over year. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

MainStreet Bancshares (MNSB) Stock Q3 Results Confront Rising Loan Stress

Simply Wall St.
MainStreet Bancshares just dropped its Q3 2026 numbers and the stock barely flinched. Shares are fractionally lower today, even though the earnings story is about rising stress on the balance sheet rather than any spectacular beat or miss on profit. The headline is simple. The bank earned US$0.43 in basic earnings per share on US$17.5m of revenue, while non performing loans climbed to US$92.0m. The market is trading this like a nonevent. The figures indicate that investors are quietly repricing credit risk while still giving MainStreet Bancshares the benefit of the doubt, at least for now. Love the earnings stability at MainStreet Bancshares but uneasy about rising non performing loans and credit risk? Check out our list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals stocks (24 results). - Revenue (Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025): US$17.52m vs. US$18.08m (lower top line year on year) - Net Income, excl. extra items (Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025): US$3.06m vs. US$3.98m (profit declined compared with the prior period) - Basic EPS (Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025): US$0.43 vs. US$0.52 (earnings per share softened year on year) - Non Performing Loans, NPLs (Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025): US$92.00m vs. US$23.39m (credit stress increased on the loan book) Earnings only tell part of the story, because MainStreet Bancshares' cash flows are what many valuation focused investors lean on when the income statement looks noisy. On those cash flows alone, the NasdaqCM:MNSB stock could be a clear 27% undervalued. For anyone leaning positive on MainStreet Bancshares, the quarter offers a mixed but workable backdrop. Earnings per share at US$0.43 and net income of US$3.06m still point to a profitable franchise, even though both sit below last year's levels. Revenue at US$17.52m gives the bank room to absorb pressure. The stock barely moved, slipping only 0.16% after the release. This suggests holders are not rushing for the exits and are still giving the commercial banking model some credit. The bear case gets real support from the balance sheet. Non performing loans jumping from US$23.39m to US$92.00m indicate clear strain in MainStreet Bancshares' loan book, which matters for a commercial lender. Profit and revenue both softened year on year, so there is less earnings cushion if credit costs rise further. Recent returns add to the caution, with the share price down over the past 7, 30 and 90 days, even before the small move…Read full document

MainStreet Bank Q2 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat
Interested in MainStreet Bank? Here are five stocks we like better. Q2 earnings improved as MainStreet Bank reported EPS of $0.58, with net interest income up more than 4% and net interest margin rising to 3.53%. Management credited the results to better asset yields, lower funding costs, and tight expense control. Loan growth stayed solid, with the portfolio up 5% year-to-date and strength coming from owner-occupied real estate and government contracting. The bank reiterated its full-year loan growth target of 5% to 7% while expecting operating costs to stay flat through 2026. Credit quality remains the main watch item as the bank works through eight performing and 13 non-performing relationships, including $61.3 million in classified non-accrual loans. Management said any losses from problem assets are not expected to be material, and capital levels remain strong even under stress tests. MainStreet Bank (NASDAQ:MNSB) executives said the company delivered stronger second-quarter 2026 earnings as net interest income expanded, expenses remained controlled and loan growth continued, while management also acknowledged ongoing work to resolve classified and non-performing credit relationships. Chairman and CEO Jeff Dick opened the earnings webcast by emphasizing the bank’s position in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan market, which he described as resilient despite periodic political and economic pressures. Dick said the region remains supported by major universities, tourism, data centers, medical facilities and Fortune 500 companies, in addition to the federal government. → Could Truth API Become Trump Media’s First Meaningful Revenue Driver? “The overarching point for us is that we are in a solid, resilient market,” Dick said. He cited a median household income of $135,089, an average home listing price of $831,000 and median days on market of 30 days. He also said Federal Reserve economic data from December 2025 indicated 684,000 government employees in the D.C. metropolitan area. Dick said MainStreet has hovered around $2.2 billion in total assets over the past two years while focusing on balance sheet management and replacing higher-cost funding. He noted that funding costs for a community bank in the Washington, D.C., market “may very well remain a little higher” than peers across the country. → GE Vernova Just Sent a Mixed AI Signal to Investors Chief F…Read full document

He noted that funding costs for a community bank in the Washington, D.C., market “may very well remain a little higher” than peers across the country. → GE Vernova Just Sent a Mixed AI Signal to Investors Chief Financial Officer Alex Vari said earnings per share rose to $0.58 in the quarter, supported by more than 4% growth in net interest income. He said the bank’s net interest margin improved to 3.53%, while return on average assets and return on tangible common equity rose to 0.85% and 8.88%, respectively. “With our third straight quarter of net interest income expansion and tight expense control, our efforts to improve core earnings quarter-over-quarter continue to bear fruit,” Vari said. → D-Wave Quantum or a Quantum ETF: Which Is the Better Bet? Vari said MainStreet has more than $810 million in available funding sources, with available liquidity facilities covering 42% of the deposit portfolio. He also said the bank has “effectively neutralized” interest-rate risk on the balance sheet, with 42% of the loan book at fixed rates and 58% floating or repricing after two quarters. The bank’s reported and core net interest margins converged at 3.53% during the quarter. Vari said the margin benefited from both higher asset yields and lower funding costs, though he cautioned that deposit pressure is expected to increase slightly in the competitive D.C. market. Looking ahead, Vari said MainStreet expects “single-digit movement” in net interest margin through the rest of the year, based on projected funding costs, loan repricing and a steady increase in average non-interest-bearing balances. In response to a question later in the call, he said the margin is expected to hold largely constant, with “a couple of basis points” of possible movement depending on unforeseen factors. Chief Lending Officer Tom Floyd said MainStreet’s loan portfolio grew 5% year-to-date, driven by its organic, relationship-focused banking model. He highlighted $97 million of growth over the past year in owner-occupied real estate, which he said reflects partnerships with local operating businesses. Floyd said the construction portfolio includes structural protections, with 88% of construction loans having a dedicated interest reserve held at the bank. He also said most construction projects are located within 25 miles of the bank’s branch network, giving the lending team direct familiarity with the markets and assets. MainStreet also reported momentum in government contracting. Floyd said the bank onboarded several “high-quality relationships” in the quarter, which drove a substantial increase in outstanding balances. He said the government contracting portfolio is also a source of stable core deposits. Floyd noted the addition of Oliver James to help expand that business. Vari said MainStreet is targeting 5% to 7% loan growth for the year and expects operating costs to remain at current levels through 2026. Executives said asset quality remains good overall, but they also discussed active workout efforts. Dick said the bank is working toward resolution of eight performing relationships and 13 non-performing relationships. Floyd said MainStreet currently manages $54.4 million in classified performing loans, $61.3 million in classified non-accrual loans and $900,000 in other real estate-owned assets. “The takeaway here is we do not sit on these relationships,” Floyd said. “We manage them aggressively with a sharp focus on maximizing recovery.” Vari emphasized the bank’s historical loss experience, saying lifetime net charge-offs over more than two decades totaled $12.6 million. He said that record spans the Great Recession, sequestration, the COVID shock and recent rate-hike cycles. During the question-and-answer session, Chris Marinac, identified as director of research at Brean Capital, asked whether investors should expect additional charge-offs. Dick said the bank has no losses identified at this point, adding that the two largest non-performing credits are in the court system. Management said some loss could occur as the bank works through current problem assets, but Dick said he did not expect it to be material relative to total outstandings. Vari said deposits grew quarter-over-quarter while the cost of deposits declined. He said the bank uses wholesale deposits to supplement loan growth and then seeks to backfill that funding with lower-cost core deposits. In response to Marinac’s question on deposit opportunities, Dick said MainStreet’s branch-light model relies heavily on business bankers and operating-account relationships. He said the bank is in the process of adding more business bankers to pursue small-business customers with deeper deposit relationships. MainStreet also continued repurchasing shares. Vari said book value per share grew 9% year-over-year, driven primarily by earnings, with additional support from strategic buybacks. The bank repurchased 207,000 shares during the quarter. Later in the call, management said the average repurchase price was $24.09 and that approximately $5 million remains under the current buyback authorization. Dick said future buybacks are somewhat constrained by commercial real estate concentration levels, but the program remains active. He said the bank is seeking to shift more growth toward owner-occupied real estate and commercial-and-industrial lending while reducing emphasis on investor commercial real estate. Floyd said stress testing shows the bank remains strongly capitalized even under severe hypothetical downturn scenarios, with post-stress capital ratios staying above the 7% well-capitalized regulatory threshold. Dick closed the call by saying management will continue working to improve asset quality while maintaining performance. “We will continue to do our best to get asset quality back to where we want it to be and continue to perform at these good numbers,” he said.

Resolution of non-performing assets is slow due to court system delays, which could prolong credit risk exposure. Q: Can you discuss the deposit opportunities you see, given the pricing pressures mentioned? A: Jeff Dick, CEO, explained that MainStreet Bancshares is a branch-light franchise, focusing on business banking. They are hiring more business bankers to capture small business customers with deep relationships, which generally results in better collective cost of funds than wholesale funds. Q: Should we expect more loan charge-offs in the near term? A: Thomas Floyd, Chief Lending Officer, stated that no losses are currently identified. The two largest non-performers are in the court system, and the company is focused on maximizing collection. Jeff Dick added that while some loss might occur, it is not expected to be material. Q: What is the company's stance on share buybacks, and do you have the capacity to continue? A: Jeff Dick confirmed that the buyback plan is active, with capacity available. The focus is on buying back shares prudently, balancing commercial real estate concentration and earnings growth. Q: Should the tax rate remain consistent in the coming quarters? A: Richard Vari, CFO, indicated that the tax rate should remain constant for the next few quarters, despite being slightly elevated due to extra accruals. Q: What is the expected margin change in the second half of the year, assuming stable rates? A: Richard Vari expects the margin to hold constant, with deposits and loans repricing at attractive rates. Some basis point shifts might occur, but overall, the margin should remain stable.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 51 paragraphs
Paragraph 1

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining our second quarter 2026 earnings webcast. My name is Jeff Dick. I am the chairman and CEO of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. and MainStreet Bank. With me today is our chief financial officer, Alex Vari, and our chief lending officer, Tom Floyd. Chris Marinac, director of research for Green Capital, will join us at the end of the call today with his questions. If you would like, you can also submit written questions throughout the presentation using the chat function on the web portal. This function is private, so what you write will not be visible to anyone else. We will address your questions at the end of the presentation. I would like to take a moment to point to our Safe Harbor page that describes the context of forward-looking statements that we may make today.

Paragraph 2

Please also know that we may use certain non-GAAP measures which are identified as such within the presentation materials. The D.C. metropolitan area is much more than host to the federal government. With our major universities, tourism, data centers, world-class medical facilities, and resident Fortune 500 companies, it continues to be a great place to do business. The Department of Government Efficiency recently wound down and left town. The D.C. market is sometimes perceived as not a good market, often in conjunction with concerns about politics. Yes, politics affects our marketplace. In the last 22 years, the overall effect has been nominal in the community banking space. Since we opened our doors in 2004, we have experienced five presidential administrations, four D.C. mayors, seven Virginia governors, and four Maryland governors.

Paragraph 3

We have also experienced economic and political pressures over that same period, including the Great Recession, where real estate prices actually held up strong inside the beltway, the budget control and sequestration period, where community banks felt some secondary impact from hits taken by reduced government and corporate spending. During this period specifically, we did have a couple of C&I relationships collapse. The COVID-19 and remote work period, where community banks felt some impact from the hospitality crisis. Community banks did not finance the big office buildings that felt the brunt of the shifting workplace culture. Washington, D.C. also did not experience the great urban shift felt by so many of the large cities in the United States. During this period, the liquidity for some of our borrowers was impacted by higher interest rates on projects that became protracted due to supply shortages, cost increases, work slowdowns, and permitting delays.

Paragraph 4

A few of those borrowers are having difficulty right now, and we are working with them. The overarching point for us is that we are in a solid, resilient market. By the numbers, the median household income is $135,089. The average home listing price is $831,000, and the median days on market is 30 days. Still a seller's market. Anecdotally, I recently sold my house in one day with multiple offers. Federal Reserve economic data from December 2025 indicates that we have 684,000 government employees in the D.C. metropolitan area. Our market remains vibrant, and we continue to see good opportunities. We remain tuned in to local, national, and global geopolitical activities, and when things happen, we determine the potential impact to our market and to our business strategy. Over the past two years, we have been hovering around that $2.2 billion total asset mark.

Paragraph 5

We've focused on smart balance sheet management, which has involved efforts to replace higher cost funding. We've made progress on that front, but we recognize that as a community bank in the Washington, D.C. market, our ongoing funding costs may very well remain a little higher than our peer group across the country. We opened our doors in May of 2004 as a Virginia chartered community bank. We've been rooted in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan community now for over 22 years. Slide seven shows that MNSB is a small-cap stock that trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market and is listed on the Russell 2000 Index. As of quarter end, we traded at 94% of tangible book value, which is now at $26.30 per share. During today's presentation, you'll once again see directional consistency on our net interest margin, expense control, and earnings.

Paragraph 6

Asset quality remains good, and we are well capitalized. You will also see that we are working toward resolution for eight performing relationships and 13 non-performing relationships. In light of that, we've provided some historical references to show that our loss experience over time has been nominal as we work with our borrowers. Our goal is to continue that successful track record. At this point, I will turn the presentation over to our bank CFO, Alex Vari.

Paragraph 7

Thank you, Jeff. Slide eight highlights our solid performance during the quarter. We increased earnings per share to $0.58 by growing net interest income over 4% during the quarter. It's encouraging to see our focus on earnings growth producing results. Our net interest margin improved to 3.53%, while our return on average assets and return on tangible common equity improved to 0.85% and 8.88%, respectively. With our third straight quarter of net interest income expansion and tight expense control, our efforts to improve core earnings quarter-over-quarter continue to bear fruit. We remain focused on our process and progress to drive higher returns for our shareholders. On slide nine, you will see a diligent liquidity strategy that incorporates a secure line availability that has grown quarter-over-quarter.

Paragraph 8

We continually manage our loan-to-deposit ratio to maximize our net interest income, and have curated the security of over $810 million in available funding sources. Our available liquidity facilities cover 42% of our entire deposit portfolio, giving us flexibility to support our growth initiatives. On slide 10, you will see we have effectively neutralized the interest rate risk on the balance sheet. This provides us with the ability to maintain margin stability regardless of the shifting rate environment. Our loan portfolio composition is well-balanced between fixed and floating rate assets, with 42% of the loan book at fixed rates, while 58% are floating rates or will reprice after two quarters. Moving to slide 11, you will see our net interest margin has expanded again with our core and reported net interest margins converging at 3.53%.

Paragraph 9

Just as a reminder, we have presented the core and reported net interest margins to exclude non-recurring transactions and give you a view of how the bank has been performing overall. The portfolio has been resilient over the last year, which is consistent with the bank's history. On slide 12, we outline the bank's NIM over the last 22 years, demonstrating that the bank primarily operates a floating-rate loan portfolio that yields a strong net interest margin throughout cycles. With one brief exception in 2009, the bank has consistently returned a net interest margin above 3%. Turning to slide 13, you will see our second quarter net interest margin expanded from both increased yields on assets and lower cost of funds. To no one's surprise, market dynamics are now shifting. We do expect additional deposit pressure in our highly competitive market.

Paragraph 10

Looking at where our NIM is headed over the rest of the year, we are expecting funding cost pressures to increase slightly. We operate a short-duration loan portfolio with funding duration that matches. With our projected funding, offsetting loan reprices, and a steady increase in average non-interest-bearing balances, we anticipate single-digit movement in the net interest margin through the rest of the year. Moving to slide 14, which builds directly on the previous slide, you can see how our consistent risk premium translates directly into higher asset yields. This disciplined approach to credit pricing actively safeguards and enhances our net interest margin, even in volatile yield curve environments. Our customers aren't just buying a transaction, they are paying for the quality and premium execution our team delivers.

Paragraph 11

On slide 15, you can see that while we price our assets to capture that credit risk premium, the actual loss experience over our lifetime is incredibly small compared to the risk-adjusted returns we generate. As demonstrated across multiple major economic disruptions, including the Great Recession, sequestration, the COVID shock, and the recent rate hike cycles, our credit quality has remained exceptionally resilient. While we aren't immune from credit fluctuation cycles, our lifetime net charge-offs over two decades stand at just $12.6 million. This track record proves that our pricing model is highly efficient. We consistently captured the premium, while our structural credit discipline limits actual credit losses incurred. On slide 16, you'll see a deposit mix that is a direct reflection of our business customer focus strategy. Quarter-over-quarter, we have continued to grow deposits while lowering the cost of those deposits.

Paragraph 12

Given the intensifying deposit pricing pressure in our market, we are challenging our teams to pursue relationships with high-value deposits and to optimize relationship profitability. On slide 17, I want to touch on our success of using wholesale deposits to supplement strong loan growth. We continue to see good loan opportunities, as evidenced by our loan growth of over 4% in the second quarter alone. As we've done for many years, we fund strong loan growth with wholesale deposits and backfill those deposits with lower-cost core funding. This strategy has been a successful way to grow our portfolio and maintain attractive margin. If you recall, our consistent net interest margin over the years from the previous slide. Slide 18 lays out our path for the remainder of the year, where our primary focus is capitalizing on our earning asset momentum.

Paragraph 13

We are targeting 5%-7% loan growth for the year. As we continue to drive top-line revenue, we expect our operating costs to remain at current levels through 2026. Lastly, on slide 19, we grew the book value of our shares by 9% year-over-year, primarily through the earnings power of the franchise. We have supplemented that growth by executing strategic share buybacks over that same time period. In the last quarter alone, we repurchased 207,000 shares at a price accretive to our shareholders. While we are focused on driving sustainable core earnings, the board will consider future buyback opportunities when appropriate. At this point, I'll turn the presentation over to Tom Floyd, our Chief Lending Officer, to discuss our loan portfolio and loan performance.

Paragraph 14

Thank you, Alex Vari. Over the next few minutes, I am excited to guide you through our portfolio composition and highlight our key growth areas. I will also provide a closer look at our underlying loan characteristics and discuss our robust capital position. Finally, I'll give an overview of our classified and non-accrual levels. Moving to slide 20, let's look at our portfolio structure, which remains well-diversified. Year-to-date, we have grown the overall portfolio by 5%, a result driven entirely by our organic relationship-first approach to banking. A major highlight of this growth is our owner-occupied real estate book, which expanded by $97 million over the last year as we continue to partner with strong local operating businesses. Additionally, we maintain excellent structural protections. 88% of our construction loans have a dedicated interest reserve held at the bank.

Paragraph 15

Slide 21 provides a closer look at our government contracting portfolio, a sector where we are building traction. I'm pleased to report that our business development efforts are yielding strong results. This quarter, we onboarded several high-quality relationships, driving a substantial increase in outstanding balances quarter-on-quarter. Beyond asset growth, this portfolio continues to serve as an exceptional source of stable core deposits. We are also excited to welcome Oliver James, a key new addition to our team, who will help us capitalize on these opportunities and accelerate our positive momentum in the space. Moving to slide 22, you will see that as our legal lending limit has grown, our average new loan size has remained relatively small. This highlights the strength of our market and that we are able to hit healthy growth goals while maintaining consistently low average loan sizes.

Paragraph 16

By keeping our average loan size small and granular, we preserve pricing power and spread credit risk broadly across many different borrowers. Slide 23 illustrates the geographical dispersion of our construction portfolio. As you can see, the vast majority of our construction projects are within a 25-mile radius of our branch network. This regional concentration gives us a distinct advantage. Our team has firsthand knowledge of every sub-market we lend in. We routinely inspect development sites, meet with project sponsors in person, and assess asset progression to actively manage risk within the portfolio. Slide 24 highlights our capital resilience. We routinely stress test our balance sheet against severe economic downturn scenarios. Our pre-stress common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio provides a massive cushion. Even after absorbing the losses modeled in these severe hypothetical scenarios, our post-stress capital ratio consistently finishes well above the 7% regulatory threshold of well-capitalized.

Paragraph 17

On Slide 25, we highlight our active workout efforts in our classified and non-accrual loans. We currently manage $54.4 million in classified performing loans, $61.3 million in classified non-accruals, and $900,000 in other real estate-owned assets. The takeaway here is we do not sit on these relationships. We manage them aggressively with a sharp focus on maximizing recovery, consistent with the historical performance shown on slide 15. In summary, we're pleased to deliver a quarter of consistent, disciplined performance marked by continuing growth in owner-occupied real estate and building momentum in our government contracting niche. Crucially, our robust stress testing demonstrates we remain strongly capitalized even in a worst-case scenario, and our classified and non-performing assets are at manageable levels. We maintain our vigorous focus on timely, successful resolutions.

Paragraph 18

We're confident that our disciplined, relationship-focused approach positions us to deliver consistent performance and long-term value for our shareholders and the communities we serve. That wraps it up for our loan presentation. Back to you, Jeff.

Paragraph 19

Thank you, Tom. As you heard, the lenders have been busy working on new relationships, especially in the owner-occupied and government contracting space. The team is also working diligently to resolve non-performing and classified loans. We've shared good news about the directional consistency of our net interest margin, expense control, and earnings. We'll address questions that were submitted through the portal after we hear from Chris Marinac, Director of Research at Brean Capital. Chris, good afternoon. Chris, are you there with us? Chris? I apologize. We may be having some technical difficulties getting connected with Chris here this afternoon. While we're waiting, there is one question that was asked, "What is the average price of the repurchased shares this quarter?" We don't have that number in front of us, but we'll get back to you with that number. Very much we're accretive to book in all cases.

Paragraph 20

Okay, Chris, are you there now? He's on, but he's not coming through.

Paragraph 21

Newt, can you hear me?

Paragraph 22

There we are. Sorry about that.

Paragraph 23

All right. Well, thank you for hosting the call and for having me. I appreciate it. I just have a few questions. Can you just talk further, extending what Alex was talking about in terms of the deposit opportunity that you see? I know that pricing and pressures are there, as he had mentioned. I'm just kind of curious on the more macro deposit opportunity that you still see in your footprint.

Paragraph 24

One of the things we were talking about quite a bit over the last couple of months is we are a branch-light franchise. The business banking team that we've had with us has been doing a great job at kind of keeping us where we are with just a little bit of a growth. We are in the process right now of bringing on a few more business bankers, and we will continue to try to do that because we still think that there's some great opportunities to bringing on the small business customers that has that nice deep relationship where you get their operating accounts. The collective cost of funds is generally better than if you're just having to pay wholesale funds at the margin. That's the best opportunity that we have.

Paragraph 25

We've been successful in the past to bring on experienced business bankers that have good relationships and that's what we're pursuing again.

Paragraph 26

Great. That's helpful. Thank you for that background. Just a quick kind of credit question. Obviously had good, clean credit loss issue or stats this quarter. Just curious if we should expect to see more of the same in the near term, or if we should budget just a little bit of loan charge-offs in general.

Paragraph 27

Chris, we don't have any losses identified at this point. Our two largest non-performers are in the court system at this time, and they're working themselves through. I can assure you that we're doing everything we can to maximize collection, and we've got a great history of doing that. Those things are ongoing, and we continue to stay diligent in our focus to bring those to full resolution.

Paragraph 28

Yeah. I think beyond that, we don't have any plans to discount anything and send it out. I suspect in order to get through the resolution of the book that we have right now, that we will see a little bit of loss. To what that is, I don't know. I don't think it's going to be material for the entire outstandings that we have. Yeah, it's hard to say at this point. I don't think you'd be wrong dialing in a little bit, but I don't know what that size is.

Paragraph 29

Sure.

Paragraph 30

Every day, we're trying to get closer to what those numbers might be. Okay. Nope, not a problem. I had a buyback question. If I'm counting correctly, over the last, I think, six quarters, you've been able to take about 10% of the share count down. I presume the pace may be a little slower in the next six quarters. Just in general, your appetite is still to repurchase shares, and you still have capacity to do so. Just want to confirm that.

Paragraph 31

Yeah. The capacity right now is throttled a little bit by the commercial real estate concentration. As we are able to continue to retain earnings and grow, we are trying to do less in the investor CRE space and more into the owner-occupied and the C&I space. As we're able to do that Alex, I think the focus is going to be on buying back shares as long as it's prudent to do so, right?

Paragraph 32

Yeah. That's right. We're making sure we're keeping that balance. The buyback plan is active. We do have capacity, we're always looking at that. Got it. Okay. Last question from me is just the tax rate. Should we be presuming the tax rate stays kind of where it has been this last few quarters, or anything different?

Paragraph 33

Yeah. I would keep it constant here for the next couple of quarters, we can reassess that. It's a little bit elevated at the moment. Just we have a little bit of extra accrual in there. Yeah, you can keep that consistent for the next couple of quarters.

Paragraph 34

Okay, great. Well, thank you for taking my questions, and I appreciate it, and look forward to the next quarter.

Paragraph 35

Yeah. Thank you very much, Chris Marinac. It is nice having an analyst in the room because the average buyback was $24.09. We have that one answered. The stress test analysis, we are doing it, we use an internal model, and it is one that I was really focused on building, following the regulatory supervision. From a conservative standpoint, one of the things I did when I was building, you make assumptions before you have the real data coming in, and especially, we had zero classified for the longest period of time. Ironically, this coming from a former regulator, hard to imagine, but the assumptions I made with regard to when assets get classified, it sort of puts a double jeopardy. That is one of the reasons you see a bit of a significant increase in the worst-case stress test.

Paragraph 36

We have decided to leave that calculation alone until we get through this cycle. We will be making some adjustments to it, but I did not want to make adjustments to it while we are sort of two-thirds of the way, three-quarters of the way through from a consistency standpoint. You can be rest assured that that is about as

Paragraph 37

Significant of a numbers. Based upon our historical performance, you should not ever see the likes of that actually happening. The next question is regarding the timing of the existing non-performing assets.

Paragraph 38

Into that question, as I mentioned, the two largest are in the court system, which unfortunately is moving a little slow. We don't just rest on that. We look for opportunities to bring things to closure throughout those processes. Those things are frankly to predict right on the money, but it doesn't mean we don't stop trying to do that. I think we're doing everything we can to get those down as quickly and as responsibly as possible to make sure we maximize recovery.

Paragraph 39

Yeah. Again, it's at the hands of a judge right now.

Paragraph 40

That's right.

Paragraph 41

That slows things down. There's also a question about the expected margin change in the second half of the year, assuming stable rates. Alex, do you want to take that?

Paragraph 42

Yeah. No, great question. Largely, we expect the margin to hold constant with where you're seeing it today. We do have deposits that are going to reprice, and as I mentioned on the call, that we are expecting some deposit pressures, just given kind of what's happening in the environment and the market that we're in. We also have a healthy amount of loans that are repricing at attractive rates. You're going to have those offset the cost of deposits that are repricing. You might see a couple of basis points shift here and there, depending on the unforeseen things that happen. In large part, we expect it to hold pretty constant.

Paragraph 43

Yeah. We've got our existing business banker team working very diligently to try and to find those good, solid relationships that bring in some of those lower cost operating accounts.

Paragraph 44

Yeah. One thing I will just touch on just in the second quarter, being a business bank, we generally see a lot of our operating accounts, our low-cost operating accounts go out with the tax season. We do see outflows there. It's expected. A lot of that comes back. One of the things I know we're really proud of is just the incremental increase in our average non-interest-bearing deposits over time. Like that book is growing, despite some of the seasonality of what businesses have to go through. I know the team is working really hard to make that happen and continue to focus on that.

Paragraph 45

Yeah, that's right. There's one more question right now, and that is how much is left in the current buyback program?

Paragraph 46

Yeah. There's about $5 million left in the current buyback right now.

Paragraph 47

Okay. That can always be changed. again-

Paragraph 48

Sure

Paragraph 49

our buybacks will be, like I said, throttled for the immediate future, based upon the concentration in commercial real estate. Earnings also augment that. we're looking-

Paragraph 50

That's right

Paragraph 51

forward to some opportunities. It's been good overall. Very much appreciate all of the questions that came in this afternoon. As always, we're happy to take any conversations offline as well. We'll be in New York next week for the KBW conference, and we're always at the other conferences throughout the year as well, including the Brean Capital when that one comes up. We're looking forward to that. Thank you very much for your investment in us, and we will continue to do our best to get asset quality back to where we want it to be and continue to perform at these good numbers and look forward to talking with you in the future

MarketBeat
MainStreet reported improving profitability with Q1 EPS $0.48, net interest margin expansion to 3.47% (core 3.54%), and earnings accretion from disciplined share repurchases totaling over 482,000 shares. Management emphasized strong liquidity and funding management — a secured available line of $663 million covering over 42% of deposits, a funding beta of 67% during the rate cut cycle, and active repricing strategies to lower funding costs as the yield curve steepens. The loan portfolio remains concentrated in commercial real estate (55% combined owner-occupied and non-owner occupied) with disciplined credit metrics — net charge-offs of $259,000, classified loans at 3.09%, and a growing GovCon business with low utilization and sizable related deposits.

Dick opened with a view of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, describing it as a diverse economic region supported by universities, tourism, data centers, medical facilities, and Fortune 500 companies. He cited local metrics including median household income “up $10,000 year-over-year” to $135,000, an average home listing price of $831,000, and median days on market moving from 29 to 30 days.

He also discussed MainStreet’s “branch-light strategy,” connecting it to the early adoption of remote deposit capture following the Check 21 Act. Dick said the bank now hosts more customers on its Remote Deposit Capture solution “than any bank our size in the country served by our core processor.” → Allbirds Exits Shoes, Pivots to AI With NewBird Rebrand In terms of physical expansion, Dick said the company recently expanded into Middleburg, Virginia, opening its seventh branch in early February and holding a grand opening on April 8. He said the Middleburg team has “already accumulated over $100 million of low-cost core deposits.” Vari said the first quarter of 2026 was “defined by execution.” He reported earnings per share of $0.48, attributing the result to “disciplined share repurchases” alongside a 5% increase in net interest income after credit provision. Vari said net interest margin improved to 3.47%, while return on average assets was 0.76% and return on tangible common equity was 7.58%. → Amazon Stock Up 30%: Is AMZN Still a Buy Before Earnings? Vari noted results included a “non-recurring $685,000 loss on an Other Real Estate Owned disposition.” He said the company remains focused on efficiency and has “positioned ourselves for earnings growth in future quarters.” On liquidity, Vari described MainStreet’s position as a “fortress,” stating that the secured available line increased $76 million during the quarter to $663 million. He added that liquidity facilities cover “over 42%” of the deposit portfolio. Vari said net interest margin has expanded and pointed to a core net interest margin of 3.54%. He also discussed one-time items affecting reported margin over recent quarters, including a $1.3 million interest recovery in Q2 2025 from a non-performing asset and interest reversals in the past three quarters related to a “small handful of loans” being worked through. He said the average reported net interest margin across the last five quarters was 3.50%, tracking closely to core performance. Discussing interest-rate risk, Vari said the bank has “effectively neutralized” balance sheet interest-rate exposure. He outlined the asset and liability sensitivity, noting that over one-third of the loan portfolio is variable-rate or will reprice in the next six months, while 87% of time deposits are scheduled to reprice ratably over the next 12 months. He also referenced an “aggressive repricing strategy for variable deposits” and “robust floors across the loan portfolio.” Vari said the company’s deposit mix reflects its business customer-focused strategy. Over the last five quarters, he said the bank grew deposits while lowering overall cost by 64 basis points. Over the past 12 months, he noted the FOMC lowered rates by 75 basis points, and during that period the bank increased interest-bearing deposits to 42% of the portfolio while the yield on those deposits dropped 79 basis points. Vari said the bank’s funding beta for the rate-reduction cycle has been 67%. With the Fed forecast shifting to a flat rate outlook, Vari said the bank still sees opportunities to lower funding costs by repricing maturing CDs, though he expects the pace to slow due to competition and uncertain economic conditions. He added that as the yield curve steepens, the bank sees a potential path to margin expansion through deposit optimization on the short end, along with loan repricing and new loan growth that “tends to be on the 5-year part of the curve.” Vari said the company has been “diligent with expense control” and expects to maintain that momentum. He also stated that loan growth expectations for 2026 are 3% to 5%. On capital management, Vari said that over the last two quarters the bank repurchased more than 482,000 shares, resulting in $0.30 per share accretion. He said the board will consider future buyback programs “when appropriate.” In response to a later question about whether the bank would maintain an aggressive buyback while the stock trades below tangible book value, management said it was in a blackout period. Dick said he did not expect “any change in trends” from what investors have seen, while Vari added the bank is “very pleased” with the current buyback plan and that the board will continue evaluating capital deployment that makes sense for shareholders. Floyd said the bank saw continued loan growth “in desirable categories” while maintaining credit discipline. He reported net charge-offs of $259,000 for the quarter. Floyd described growth in owner-occupied commercial real estate as a key theme, saying the bank has grown that category by roughly $80 million over the last year. He outlined the loan portfolio composition at quarter-end as: 30% non-owner occupied commercial real estate 25% owner-occupied commercial real estate 16% construction 13% multi-family 11% residential real estate 5% commercial and industrial He added that nearly all of the construction portfolio has an interest reserve held at the bank and said average new loan size has remained low as the bank has grown, reflecting an emphasis on smaller opportunities. On stress testing, Floyd said estimated worst-case stress loss increased to $69.5 million, but emphasized capital strength, including a post-stress Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11%, “well above” the 7% well-capitalized threshold. He also detailed the methodology, including loan-level testing for construction and investor commercial real estate, applying “worst-ever historical loss rates” for other categories, and marking investments and bank-owned life insurance to liquidation value. Credit quality metrics shared on the call included classified loans at 3.09% of gross loans, non-accruals at 2.88%, and other real estate owned at 0.06%. Floyd noted most non-accruals were attributable to two relationships and said low charge-offs demonstrate the team’s focus on protecting principal while working through problem credits. Floyd also highlighted the government contracting (GovCon) business and announced the appointment of Morgan Higgins to the bank’s board. Floyd said Higgins is a former executive director at JPMorgan Chase, where she built a government contracting lending practice in Northern Virginia, and is currently a partner at Blue Delta Capital Partners, which he described as a minority investor venture capital firm focused on the U.S. federal government market. Floyd provided details on the GovCon portfolio, stating the bank has 30 asset-based lines of credit supported by billed receivables with $8.8 million outstanding on $71.7 million of commitments, or 12% utilization. He said the GovCon portfolio has $1.1 million in outstanding term debt, with loans amortizing rapidly and an average remaining term of 21 months. Floyd also pointed to deposits tied to the portfolio averaging $104 million, describing deposits as roughly “10 times” outstanding credit. In the Q&A, Marinac asked about customer behavior and pipeline momentum. Floyd said optimism remains in real estate, with borrowers taking advantage of circumstances for expansion, and said the pipeline continues to show “lots of good opportunities,” including activity tied to government contracting. Management also said it is seeing deposit-side momentum and suggested that “flight to quality” dynamics can support FDIC-insured deposits during periods of uncertainty. Asked about development along the Route 50 corridor toward Middleburg, Floyd said the bank’s acquisition and development financing is primarily “infill” inside and just outside the Beltway. He acknowledged some exposure to data center-related plans but said those opportunities often include industrial components and current uses and are “not fully dependent” on future data center development. Dick added the bank has historically favored lending closer in, referencing the Great Recession period when land and property prices inside the Beltway fell less than in more distant areas. Management closed the call by reiterating optimism and referencing 2023 as a “banner year,” with Dick stating the objective is to return to that level of performance and beyond.

MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby
Performance was driven by a disciplined branch-light strategy and remote deposit capture, allowing the bank to maintain a high volume of business customers without extensive physical overhead. The bank successfully expanded its footprint into Middleburg, Virginia, which has already contributed over $100 million in low-cost core deposits since February. The company achieved a 67% funding beta during the recent rate reduction cycle through aggressive deposit repricing, while the reported net interest margin averaged 3.50% over the last five quarters despite being impacted by nonrecurring interest reversals. Management attributed the $2.2 billion asset plateau over the last two years to a deliberate focus on replacing higher-cost funding with more sustainable core deposits. The D.C. metropolitan market remains a primary driver of stability, characterized by high median household incomes and a resilient 'seller's market' in real estate. Credit culture remains centered on risk-adjusted pricing, which management states allows the bank to absorb normalized fluctuations while maintaining margin growth. Loan growth for 2026 is projected at 3% to 5%, with a strategic focus on owner-occupied commercial real estate and government contracting niches. Management expects the pace of funding cost reductions to slow due to a shift toward a flat rate outlook and highly competitive local market dynamics. The bank is positioned for 'neutralized' interest rate risk, utilizing loan floors and liability sensitivity to protect margins whether rates rise or fall sharply. Efficiency ratio targets are set between 53% and 55%, aiming to return to 2023 performance levels through continued expense control and resolution of nonaccrual interest reversals. The appointment of a new Chief Banking Officer is expected to drive increased wallet share from existing customers and expand the bank's regional footprint. First quarter results included a nonrecurring $685,000 loss related to the disposition of an other real estate owned (OREO) asset. Reported net interest margin was impacted by interest reversals on a small handful of loans currently in workout, though core NIM remained resilient at 3.54%. Classified loans stood at 3.09%, with the majority of nonaccruals concentrated in only two specific client relationships.

Management noted that real estate clients remain optimistic and are seeking expansion opportunities despite broader economic uncertainty. The bank is seeing a 'flight to quality' where customers prioritize FDIC-insured deposits, aiding new account acquisition. The appointment of Morgan Higgins to the Board is intended to leverage her expertise to open doors to federal contractors and improve competitive positioning. The government contracting book currently provides a significant funding advantage, with deposits averaging 10x the outstanding credit. Management is targeting an efficiency ratio in the low 50s, specifically aiming for the 53% to 55% range seen during their record 2023 performance. Current efficiency is temporarily hindered by the requirement to reverse 90 days of interest when loans move to nonaccrual status. Management deflected specific future commitments due to the blackout period but noted the Board continually evaluates buybacks as a tool for shareholder value. Recent repurchases of 482,000 shares resulted in a $0.30 per share accretion over the last two quarters. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick.

We’re pleased to have grown our owner-occupied commercial real estate book by $79 million year-over-year. Our owner-occupied relationships also bring good deposit balances, which helps to maximize the value of our customer relationships,” said Tom Floyd, Chief Lending Officer of MainStreet Bank.

The loans we are currently working to resolve are secured by properly leveraged real estate with personal guarantees. Our primary objective is to work with borrowers to resolve loans that have elevated risk without exposing the Bank to a loss of principal. Our team’s track record on resolutions is strong – with a total accumulated principal loss of less-than $10 million over the entire 22-year history for the commercial loan portfolio.” About MainStreet Bank: MainStreet operates seven branches in Herndon, Fairfax, McLean, Leesburg, Middleburg, Clarendon, and Washington, D.C.
