Net Interest Income and Margin

FTE net interest income totaled $32.4 million in the second quarter, up $3.8 million, or 13.4%, from the prior quarter.

Payment card and service charge income totaled $6,008 thousand in Q2 2026, compared to $5,086 thousand in Q1 2026.

Total noninterest expense was $30.4 million, compared to $28.1 million in the prior quarter, an increase of 8.2%.

Asset Quality and Capital

Asset quality improved during the quarter, driven by the full repayment of the company's largest nonperforming loan. Key asset quality and capital metrics are summarized below:

Metric: June 30, 2026 March 31, 2026
Nonperforming Loans: $29,233 $34,740

Tangible Common Equity Ratio: 9.7% 10.0%

Provision for credit losses totaled $4.7 million in the second quarter, compared to $1.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase reflected continued loan portfolio growth, specific reserves associated with a small number of isolated credits, and updates to the allowance methodology based on current economic conditions and qualitative factors.

During the quarter, the company repurchased 48,432 shares of common stock for approximately $1.2 million at an average price of $25.56 per share under its previously authorized share repurchase program. Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share were $26.61 and $26.52, respectively, at June 30, 2026, compared to $26.07 and $25.98, respectively, at the prior quarter-end.

Management Commentary

Larry F. Mazza, President and Chief Executive Officer of MVB Financial, stated: "The strong second quarter results reflected continued progress and momentum across both our core banking franchise and our Fintech banking platform. Loan and deposit growth remained solid, net interest income improved and we saw encouraging momentum across our payments business, contributing to both fee income growth and deposit generation during the quarter. These results demonstrate our diversified business model's strength and our team's disciplined execution of our strategy."

Mazza added that the company also successfully resolved its largest nonperforming loan during the quarter through full repayment, improving its credit profile, while benefiting from an improvement in second quarter net interest income. He further noted that the previously disclosed gain related to an existing Fintech investment, together with the successful monetization of the internally incubated Victor platform in the prior year, demonstrates the company's ability to both incubate and invest in innovative Fintech businesses.
