PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
Organizational History and Subsidiaries
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (“Ohio Valley”) is an Ohio corporation registered as a financial holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHC Act”). Ohio Valley was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio on January 8, 1992 and began conducting business on October 23, 1992. The principal executive offices of Ohio Valley are located at 420
Third Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Ohio Valley’s common shares are listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “OVBC.” Ohio Valley has one banking subsidiary, The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the “Bank”). The Bank has one wholly-owned
subsidiary, Ohio Valley REO, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Ohio Valley REO”), to which the Bank transfers certain real estate acquired by the Bank through foreclosure for sale by Ohio Valley REO. Ohio Valley also owns two nonbank
subsidiaries, Loan Central, Inc., which engages in lending (“Loan Central”), and Ohio Valley Financial Services Agency, LLC, which is used to facilitate the receipt of commissions on insurance sold by the Bank and Loan Central (“Ohio Valley Financial
Services”). Ohio Valley also owns one wholly-owned subsidiary trust formed solely to issue a trust preferred security. Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” Ohio Valley’s financial service
operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment: banking.

Business of Ohio Valley
As a financial holding company registered under the BHC Act,
Ohio Valley’s primary business is community banking. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Ohio Valley’s consolidated assets approximated to $1,582,654,000 and $1,503,412,000, while total shareholders’ equity
approximated to $170,257,000 and $150,328,000 for the same periods, respectively.
Ohio Valley’s financial holding company status allows it to
engage in certain non-banking activities, such as securities underwriting and dealing activities, insurance agency and underwriting activities and merchant banking/equity investment activities. Ohio Valley
presently has an insurance agency, Ohio Valley Financial Services, which is used to facilitate the receipt of commissions on insurance sold by the Bank and Loan Central. Management will consider opportunities to engage in additional nonbanking
activities as they arise.
Business of Bank Subsidiary
A substantial portion of Ohio Valley’s revenue is derived from cash dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank presently has eighteen offices
located in Ohio and West Virginia and all but two offer automatic teller machines (“ATMs”). Twelve of these offices also offer drive-up services. The Bank accounted for substantially all of Ohio Valley’s consolidated assets at December 31, 2025 and
2024.
The Bank is primarily engaged in commercial and retail banking. The Bank is a full-service financial institution offering a blend of
commercial and consumer banking services within southeastern Ohio as well as western West Virginia. The banking services offered by the Bank include the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and
servicing of personal and commercial loans; and the making of construction and real estate loans. The Bank also offers individual retirement accounts, safe deposit boxes, wire transfers and other standard banking products and services. As part of
its lending function, the Bank offers credit card services. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is also a member of the IntraFi Network and participates in their
Certificate of Deposit Account Registry program, which provides customers with the ability to secure FDIC insurance on balances in excess of the standard limitations. In addition to originating loans, the Bank invests in United States government and
agency obligations, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and other investments permitted by applicable law.
3
The Bank began offering trust services in 1981. The trust department acts as trustee under wills, trusts and profit sharing plans, as
executor and administrator of estates, and as guardian for estates of minors and incompetents. In addition, the trust department provides a variety of investment and security services where the Bank acts as an agent on behalf of the client. Trust
services are available to all customers of the Bank.
The Bank also offers Internet banking to its customers, allowing customers to check personal account balances, receive information about
transactions within their accounts, make transfers between accounts, stop payment on a check, and reorder checks all from their own computer. Customers may also pay bills online and can make payments to virtually any business or individual.
Furthermore, the Bank offers other financial management online services, such as cash management and news updates related to repossession auctions, current rates, and general bank news.
The Bank offers Tax Refund Advance Loans (“TALs”) to Loan Central tax customers. A TAL represents a short-term loan offered by the Bank
to tax preparation customers of Loan Central. After Loan Central prepares a customer’s tax return, the customer is offered the opportunity to have immediate access to a portion of the anticipated tax refund by entering into a TAL with the Bank. As
part of the process, the tax customer completes a loan application and authorizes the expected tax refund to be deposited with the Bank once it is issued by the IRS. Once the Bank receives the tax refund, the refund is used to repay the TAL and Loan
Central’s tax preparation fees, then the remainder of the refund is remitted to Loan Central’s tax customer.
Business of Loan Central
Loan Central is engaged in consumer finance, offering smaller balance personal and mortgage loans generally to individuals with higher
credit risk history. Loan Central’s line of business also includes seasonal tax preparation services as part of the TAL lending activity discussed above. Loan Central presently has six offices, all located within southeastern Ohio.
Business of Financial Services Subsidiaries
Ohio Valley Financial Services is a licensed insurance agency that is used to facilitate the receipt of commissions on insurance sold by
the Bank and Loan Central. Ohio Valley Financial Services is licensed by the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.
Variable Interest Entities
Ohio Valley owns one
special purpose entity, Ohio Valley Statutory Trust III, which has issued $8,500,000 in trust preferred securities. Ohio Valley has issued a like amount of subordinated debentures to the
Trust in exchange for the proceeds of the issuance of the trust preferred securities. Ohio Valley used the proceeds to provide additional capital to the Bank to support growth. Further detail on Ohio Valley Statutory Trust III is
located in Ohio Valley’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders under “Note J – Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities,” in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024.

Financial Information
Financial information regarding the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and results of operations for the last two fiscal years are
contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Lending Activities
The Company’s loan portfolio increased $134,193,000 to finish at $1,196,018,000 as of December 31, 2025. The increase in total loans came
primarily from both the Company’s commercial and residential real estate loan portfolios. The loan portfolio is comprised of commercial (commercial real estate and commercial and industrial), residential real estate and consumer loans, including
credit card and home equity loans. During 2025, commercial loans increased $105,709,000, or 19.9%, while residential real estate loans increased $44,386,000, or 11.9%, partially offset by a $15,902,000, or 10.1%, decrease in consumer loans, as
compared to 2024. Commercial loan growth was impacted primarily by an increase in new commercial real estate loan originations during 2025. Residential real estate loan growth was largely impacted by higher short-term adjustable-rate mortgage loan
balances. The decline in consumer loans was largely impacted by decreases in automobile and other consumer loan balances during 2025. Consolidated interest and fee revenue from loans accounted for 77.84% and 73.02% of total consolidated revenues in
2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s market area for lending is primarily located in southeastern Ohio and portions of western West Virginia. The Company
believes that there is no significant concentration of loans to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries and does not have any loans to foreign entities.
Residential Real Estate Loans
The Company’s residential real estate loans consist primarily of one- to four-family residential mortgages and carry many of the same
customer and industry risks as the commercial loan portfolio. Real estate loans to consumers are secured primarily by a first lien mortgage or deed of trust with evidence of title in favor of the Bank. The Company also requires proof of hazard
insurance, required at the time of closing, with the Bank or Loan Central named as the mortgagee and as loss payee. The Company generally requires the amount of a residential real estate loan be no more than 80% of the purchase price or the
appraisal value (whichever is the lesser) of the real estate securing the loan, unless private mortgage insurance is obtained by the borrower for the percentage exceeding 80%. These loans generally range from one-year adjustable to thirty-year
fixed-rate mortgages. Residential real estate loans also consist of the Company’s warehouse lending activity. Warehouse lending consists of a line of credit provided by the Bank to another mortgage lender that makes loans for the purchase of one- to
four-family residential real estate properties. The mortgage lender eventually sells the loans and repays the Bank. The Company’s market area for real estate lending is primarily located in southeastern Ohio and portions of western West Virginia.
The Bank continues to sell a portion of its new fixed-rate real estate loan originations to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation to enhance customer service and loan pricing. Secondary market sales of these real estate loans, which have fixed
rates with fifteen- to thirty-year terms, have assisted in meeting the consumer preference for long-term fixed-rate loans as well as minimized the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk.
Commercial Loans
The Company’s commercial loan portfolio consists of loans to corporate borrowers primarily in small to mid-sized industrial and commercial
companies that include service, retail and wholesale merchants. Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, inventory, stock, commercial real estate and rental property. Commercial loans are considered to have a higher level of risk
compared to other types of loans (i.e., single-family residential mortgages, installment loans and credit card loans), although care is taken to minimize these risks. Numerous risk factors impact this portfolio, such as the economy, new technology,
labor rates, cash flow, financial structure and asset quality. The payment experience on commercial loans is dependent on adequate cash flows from the business to service both interest and principal due. Thus, commercial loans may be more sensitive
to adverse conditions in the economy generally or adverse conditions in a specific industry. The Company diversifies risk within this portfolio by closely monitoring industry concentrations and portfolios to ensure that it does not exceed
established lending guidelines. Underwriting standards require a comprehensive credit analysis and independent evaluation of virtually all larger balance commercial loans prior to approval. The Bank’s loan committee will review and approve all new
commercial loan originations that exceed the loan officer group’s highest lending limit according to the following thresholds: up to $1,000,000 unsecured, up to $5,000,000 secured, and up to $5,000,000 aggregate. The Executive Committee of the Bank’s
Board of Directors will review and approve all new commercial loan originations that exceed the Bank’s loan committee thresholds up to the legal lending limit of the Bank.
5
Consumer Loans
Consumer loans are secured by automobiles, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Personal loans and unsecured
credit card receivables are also included as consumer loans. The Company makes installment credit available to customers in their primary market area of southeastern Ohio and portions of western West Virginia. Credit approval for consumer loans
requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, a positive credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. The Company monitors the risk associated with these types of loans by
monitoring factors such as portfolio growth, lending policies and economic conditions. Underwriting standards are continually evaluated and modified based upon these factors. A qualified compliance officer is responsible for monitoring the
performance of his or her respective consumer portfolio and updating loan personnel. The Company makes credit life insurance and health and accident insurance available to all qualified borrowers, thus reducing their risk of loss when their income
is terminated or interrupted. The Company reviews its respective consumer loan portfolios monthly to charge off loans which do not meet applicable standards. Credit card accounts are administered in accordance with the same standards as those
applied to other consumer loans. Consumer loans generally involve more risk as to collectability than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of collateral and, in certain instances, the absence of collateral. As a result, consumer lending
collections are dependent upon the borrower’s continued financial stability and are adversely affected by job loss, divorce or personal bankruptcy and by adverse economic conditions. Also included in the category of consumer loans are home equity
loans. Home equity lines of credit are generally made as second mortgages and charged a variable interest rate. Home equity lines are written with ten-year terms but are reviewed annually. The Company’s consumer loans also consist of seasonal TALs
offered by the Bank during the tax season.
Underwriting Standards
The Company’s underwriting guidelines and standards are updated periodically and are presented to the Board of Directors of the holding
company for approval. The purposes of the standards and guidelines are to grant loans on a sound and collectible basis; to invest available funds in a safe, profitable manner; to serve the legitimate credit needs of the Company’s primary market
areas; and to ensure that all loan applicants receive fair and equal treatment in the lending process. It is the intent of the underwriting guidelines and standards to: minimize losses by carefully investigating the credit history of each
applicant, verify the source of repayment and the ability of the applicant to repay, collateralize those loans in which collateral is deemed to be required, exercise care in the documentation of the application, review, approval, and origination
process, and administer a comprehensive loan collection program. The above guidelines are adhered to and subject to the experience, background and personal judgment of the loan officer assigned to the loan application. A loan officer may grant, with
justification, a loan with variances from the underwriting guidelines and standards. However, a loan officer may not exceed his or her respective lending authority without obtaining the prior, proper approval from a superior.
6
Investment Activities
The Company’s investment policy stresses the management of the investment securities portfolio, which includes both securities held to
maturity and securities available for sale, to maximize the return over the long-term in a manner that is consistent with good banking practices and relative safety of principal. The Company’s investment portfolio is comprised of United States
Government, sponsored entity, and mortgage-backed securities, as well as obligations of state and political subdivisions. Revenues from interest and dividends on securities accounted for 10.03% and 7.17% of total consolidated revenues in 2025 and
2024, respectively. The Company currently does not engage in trading account activity.
Funding Activities
Sources of funds for loan and investment activities include “core deposits.” Core deposits include demand deposits, savings, money
market, NOW accounts, and certificates of deposit less than $250,000. The Company will also utilize certificates of deposit and money market deposits from wholesale markets, when necessary, to support growth in assets. Short- and long-term advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank have also been a significant source of funding. Further funding has come from one trust preferred securities offering through Ohio Valley Statutory Trust III, totaling $8,500,000. Ohio Valley used the proceeds to provide additional capital
to the Bank to support growth.
Electronic Refund Check / Electronic Refund Deposit Activities
The Company began its participation in a tax refund service in 2006 by serving as a facilitator for the clearing of tax refunds for a
single tax refund product provider. Most recently, the Bank had an agreement with a third-party to process electronic refund checks and electronic refund deposits, which agreement ended after the 2025 tax season. The Company is looking to provide
these services for another tax refund product provider and presently is performing these services on a very limited basis for another provider. At this time, the revenue derived from the new provider is minimal and is not expected to replace the
revenue earned from the previous provider
Competition
Competition among providers of financial products and services continues to increase, with consumers having the opportunity to select from
a growing variety of traditional and nontraditional alternatives. The principal factors of competition for the Company’s banking business are the rates of interest charged for loans, the rates of interest paid for deposits, the fees charged for
services and the availability and quality of services. The market area for the Bank is concentrated primarily in the Gallia, Meigs, Jackson, Vinton, Pike and Lawrence Counties of Ohio, as well as the Mason and Cabell Counties of West Virginia. Some
additional business originates from the surrounding Ohio counties of Scioto, Athens and Ross, as well as Wood County of West Virginia. Competition for deposits and loans comes primarily from local banks and savings associations, although some
competition is also experienced from local credit unions and insurance companies. The Company also competes with non-financial institutions that offer financial products and services. Some of the Company’s competitors are not subject to the same
level of regulation and oversight that is required of banks and bank holding companies. As a result, some of these competitors may have lower cost structures.
Loan Central’s market presence further strengthens the Company’s ability to compete in the Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence and Pike Counties by
serving a consumer base that may not meet the Bank’s credit standards. Loan Central also operates in Scioto and Ross counties of Ohio, which are outside the Bank’s primary market area. With the exception of TALs related to Loan Central’s tax
preparation activities and the Bank’s refund advance activities, the Company’s business is not seasonal, nor is it dependent upon a single or small group of customers.
Historically, larger regional institutions, with substantially greater resources, have been generating a growing market presence. Yet, in
recent years, the financial industry continues to consolidate, which affects competition by eliminating some regional and local institutions, while strengthening the acquiring companies. Many financial institutions have experienced significant
challenges as a result of the prior economic crisis, which resulted in bank failures and significant intervention from the United States Government.
7
Overall, the Company believes it is able to compete effectively in both current and newer markets. There can be no assurance, however,
that our ability to market products and services successfully or to obtain adequate yield on our loans will not be impacted by the nature of the competition that now exists or may later develop.
Supervision and Regulation
The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting Ohio Valley as well as the Bank, Loan Central, and Ohio Valley
Financial Services. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. The regulation of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of consumers, depositors,
borrowers, the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) and the banking system as a whole, and not for the protection of shareholders. Applicable laws and regulations restrict permissible activities and investments and require actions to protect loan,
deposit, brokerage, fiduciary and other customers, as well as the DIF. They also may restrict Ohio Valley’s ability to repurchase its common shares or to receive dividends from the Bank and impose capital adequacy and liquidity requirements.
Regulation of Financial Holding Company
Ohio Valley is subject to the requirements of the BHC Act and to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”). The Federal Reserve Board has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue
cease and desist or removal orders, and require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries (including its banking subsidiaries). In general, the Federal Reserve Board may initiate enforcement action for violations of laws and regulations and
unsafe or unsound practices.
A bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support
those subsidiary banks. The Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank and may disapprove of the payment of dividends to the shareholders of the bank holding
company if the Federal Reserve Board believes the payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve Board also requires bank holding companies to provide advance notification of planned dividends under certain circumstances.
The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board in any case where a bank holding company proposes to:
|
•
|
acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank that is not already majority-owned by it;
|
|
•
|
acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or
|
|
•
|
merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company.
|
Holding Company Activities
Ohio Valley is a financial holding company, which permits it to engage in activities beyond those permitted for traditional bank holding
companies. A qualifying bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature and not otherwise
permissible for a bank holding company, if: (i) the holding company is "well managed" and "well capitalized" and (ii) each of its subsidiary banks (a) is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(“FDICIA”) prompt corrective action provisions, (b) is well managed, and (c) has at least a "satisfactory" rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (“CRA”). No regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to
acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
8
Financial holding companies may engage in a wide variety of financial activities, including any activity that the Federal Reserve Board
and the Treasury Department consider financial in nature or incidental to financial activities, and any activity that the Federal Reserve Board determines complementary to a financial activity and which does not pose a substantial safety and
soundness risk. These activities include securities underwriting, dealing, and market making activities, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance and underwriting activities and merchant banking activities. Because it has
authority to engage in a broad array of financial activities, a financial holding company may have several affiliates that are functionally regulated by financial regulators other than the Federal Reserve Board, such as the SEC and state insurance
regulators.
If a financial holding company or a subsidiary bank fails to meet the requirements for the holding company to remain a financial holding
company, the financial holding company must enter into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Board within 45 days to comply with all applicable capital and management requirements. Until the Federal Reserve Board determines that the holding
company and its subsidiary banks meet the requirements, the Federal Reserve Board may impose additional limitations or conditions on the conduct or activities of the financial holding company or any affiliate that the Federal Reserve Board finds to
be appropriate or consistent with federal banking laws. If the deficiencies are not corrected within 180 days, the financial holding company may be required to divest ownership or control of all banking subsidiaries. If restrictions are imposed on
the activities of the holding company, such restrictions may not be made publicly available pursuant to confidentiality regulations of the banking regulators.
Loan Central is supervised and regulated by the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions (“ODFI”). Ohio Valley
Financial Services is supervised and regulated by the Ohio Department of Insurance. The insurance laws and regulations applicable to insurance agencies, including Ohio Valley Financial Services, require education and licensing of individual agents
and agencies, require reports and impose business conduct rules.
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act
On May 25, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (“Regulatory Relief Act”) was enacted, which repealed
or modified certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended (“Dodd-Frank Act”). As a result, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $100 billion, including Ohio Valley, are
no longer subject to enhanced prudential standards. The Regulatory Relief Act also relieves bank holding companies and banks with consolidated assets of less than $100 billion from certain record-keeping, reporting and disclosure requirements.
Regulation of Ohio State Chartered Banks
As an Ohio state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (“FRB”), the Bank is supervised and regulated
primarily by the ODFI and the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which has broad authority to adopt and enforce consumer protection regulations.
9
The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC, and the Bank is subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) and certain regulations of the FDIC.
Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States, the State of Ohio and the State of West Virginia affect the
operations of the Bank, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans that may be made and the interest that may be charged thereon, restrictions relating to investments and other
activities, limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks, limitations on activities based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends, limitations on branching and increasingly extensive consumer protection laws and
regulations.
Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations
Banks are subject to regular examination to ensure compliance with federal statutes and regulations applicable to their business,
including consumer protection statutes and implementing regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has extensive regulatory and enforcement powers over consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has adopted numerous rules
with respect to consumer protection laws and has commenced related enforcement actions. The following are just a few of the consumer protection laws applicable to the Bank:
|
•
|
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977: imposes a continuing and affirmative obligation to fulfill the credit needs of its entire
community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
|
|
•
|
Equal Credit Opportunity Act: prohibits discrimination in any credit transaction on the basis of any of various criteria.
|
|
•
|
Truth in Lending Act: requires that credit terms are disclosed in a manner that permits a consumer to understand and compare
credit terms more readily and knowledgeably.
|
|
•
|
Fair Housing Act: makes it unlawful for a lender to discriminate in its housing-related lending activities against any person
on the basis of any of certain criteria.
|
|
•
|
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act: requires financial institutions to collect data that enables regulatory agencies to determine
whether the financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of the communities in which they are located.
|
|
•
|
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act: requires that lenders provide borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost
of real estate settlements and prohibits abusive practices that increase borrowers’ costs.
|
|
•
|
Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: requires financial institutions to establish policies and procedures to
restrict the sharing of non-public customer data with non-affiliated parties and to protect customer information from unauthorized access.
|
The banking regulators also use their authority under the Federal Trade Commission Act to take supervisory or
enforcement action with respect to unfair or deceptive acts or practices by banks that may not necessarily fall within the scope of specific banking or consumer finance law.
Audits
FDICIA requires insured depository institutions with total assets in excess of $1 billion to have an annual
independent audit made of the institution’s financial statements by an independent public accountant to verify that the financial statements of the institution are presented fairly and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
comply with such other disclosure requirements as prescribed by the FDIC. Effective January 1, 2026, the FDIC amended Part 363 of rules and regulations implementing FDICIA to, in part, increase the threshold requirement for insured depository
institutions to obtain an independent auditor’s report on the institution’s internal control over financial reporting from $1 billion in total assets to $5 billion in total assets.
10
Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking accounts. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to 0% effective on March 26, 2020, to support lending to households and
businesses. The reserve requirement ratio remained at 0% as of December 31, 2025.
Capital Requirements
Financial institutions and their holding companies are required to maintain capital as a way of absorbing losses that can, as well as
losses that cannot, be predicted. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for financial holding companies as well as state banks that are members of a Federal Reserve Bank. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(“OCC”) and the FDIC have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for national banks and state non-member banks, respectively. The guidelines provide a systematic analytical framework which makes regulatory capital requirements sensitive to
differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures expressly into account in evaluating capital adequacy and incentivizes holding liquid, low-risk assets. Capital levels as measured by these standards are
also used to categorize financial institutions for purposes of certain prompt corrective action regulatory provisions.
Capital rules applicable to smaller banking organizations (the “Basel III Capital Rules”), which also implement certain of the provisions
of the Dodd-Frank Act, became effective commencing on January 1, 2015. Compliance with the new minimum capital requirements was required effective January 1, 2015, while a new capital conservation buffer and deductions from common equity capital
phased in from January 1, 2016, through January 1, 2019, and most deductions from common equity tier 1 capital phased in from January 1, 2015, through January 1, 2019.
The Basel III Capital Rules include (i) a minimum common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, (ii) a minimum tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%,
(iii) a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and (iv) a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%.
Common equity for the common equity tier 1 capital ratio includes common stock (plus related surplus) and retained earnings, plus limited
amounts of minority interests in the form of common stock, less the majority of certain regulatory deductions.
Tier 1 capital includes common equity as defined for the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, plus certain non-cumulative preferred stock
and related surplus, cumulative preferred stock and related surplus and trust preferred securities that have been grandfathered (but which are not otherwise permitted), and limited amounts of minority interests in the form of additional tier 1
capital instruments, less certain deductions.
Tier 2 capital, which can be included in the total capital ratio, includes certain capital instruments (such as subordinated debt) and
limited amounts of the allowance for credit losses, subject to specified eligibility criteria, less applicable deductions.
The deductions from common equity tier 1 capital include goodwill and other intangibles, certain deferred tax assets, mortgage-servicing
assets above certain levels, gains on sale in connection with a securitization, investments in a banking organization’s own capital instruments and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions (above certain levels).
Under the guidelines, capital is compared to the relative risk included in the balance sheet. To derive the risk included in the balance
sheet, one of several risk weights is applied to different balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets, primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments
by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
11
The Basel III Capital Rules also place restrictions on the payment of capital distributions, including dividends, and certain
discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the company does not hold a capital conservation buffer of greater than 2.5% composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements, or if its eligible retained
income is negative in that quarter and its capital conservation buffer ratio was less than 2.5% at the beginning of the quarter.
In December 2019, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule to address regulatory treatment of credit loss allowances under CECL.
The rule revised the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital rules to identify which credit loss allowances under the CECL model are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital and to provide banking organizations the option to phase in over
three years the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the CECL model. Concurrent with the enactment of the CARES Act, federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that delayed the estimated impact
on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. The interim final rule provided banking organizations that implemented CECL prior to the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital
relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. On August 26, 2020, the
federal banking agencies issued a final rule that made certain technical changes to the interim final rule, including expanding the pool of eligible institutions. The changes in the final rule applied only to those banking organizations that elected
the CECL transition relief provided for under the rule. The Company adopted the CECL model effective January 1, 2023.
Federal banking regulators have established regulations governing prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks. Under these
regulations, institutions that become undercapitalized become subject to mandatory regulatory scrutiny and limitations, which increase as capital continues to decrease. Each such institution is also required to file a capital plan with its primary
federal regulator, and its holding company must guarantee the capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at the time it becomes undercapitalized.
In accordance with the Basel III Capital Rules, in order to be “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action guidelines, a bank
must have a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.5%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0% and a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, and the bank must not be subject to any
written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level or any capital measure. At December 31, 2025, the Bank met the capital ratio requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized”
according to the guidelines described above.
A bank with a capital level that might qualify for well capitalized or adequately capitalized status may nevertheless be
treated as though the bank is in the next lower capital category if the bank’s primary federal banking supervisory authority determines that an unsafe or unsound condition or practice warrants that treatment. A bank’s operations can be significantly
affected by its capital classification under the prompt corrective action rules. For example, a bank that is not well capitalized generally is prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the
prevailing rate in its market without advance regulatory approval. These deposit-funding limitations can have an adverse effect on the bank’s liquidity. At each successively lower capital category, an insured depository institution is subject to
additional restrictions. Undercapitalized banks are required to take specified actions to increase their capital or otherwise decrease the risks to the DIF. Bank regulatory agencies generally are required to appoint a receiver or conservator within
90 days after a bank becomes critically undercapitalized with a leverage ratio of less than 2.0%. The FDIA provides that a federal bank regulatory authority may require a bank holding company to divest itself of an undercapitalized bank subsidiary
if the agency determines that divestiture will improve the bank’s financial condition and prospects.
12
Regulations of the Federal Reserve Board generally require a financial holding company to maintain total risk-based
capital of 10.0% and tier 1 risk-based capital of 6.0%. If, however, a bank holding company satisfies the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board’s Small Bank Holding Company and Small Savings and Loan Holding Company Policy Statement (the
“SBHCP”), the holding company is not required to meet the consolidated capital requirements. As amended effective in September 2018, the SBHCP requires that the holding company have assets of less than $3 billion, that it meet certain qualitative
requirements, and that all of the holding company’s bank subsidiaries meet all bank capital requirements. As of December 31, 2025, Ohio Valley was deemed to meet the SBHCP requirements and so was not required to meet consolidated capital
requirements at the holding company level.
Limits on Dividends
The ability of a bank holding company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on
the amount of dividends that may be declared by its subsidiary banks and other subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board also expects Ohio Valley to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, which may require it to retain capital for further
investments in the Bank, rather than for dividends for shareholders of Ohio Valley. The Bank may not pay dividends to Ohio Valley if, after paying such dividends, it would fail to meet the required capital levels. Dividends are also subject to
limitations if the Company or the Bank fails to hold the required capital conservation buffer. The Bank must have the approval of its regulatory authorities if a dividend in any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of
its current year’s net profits and retained net profits for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus. Under Ohio law, the Bank may pay a dividend from surplus only with the approval of its shareholders and the approval of the
Superintendent of Financial Institutions. Payment of dividends by the Bank may be restricted at any time at the discretion of its regulatory authorities, if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking practice or if
necessary to maintain adequate capital for the Bank. These provisions could have the effect of limiting Ohio Valley’s ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common shares.
In addition, Federal Reserve Board policy requires Ohio Valley to provide notice to the FRB in advance of the payment of a dividend to
Ohio Valley’s shareholders under certain circumstances, and the FRB may disapprove of such dividend payment if the FRB determines the payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice.
Dividend restrictions are also listed within the provisions of Ohio Valley’s trust preferred security arrangements. Under the provisions
of these agreements, the interest payable on the trust preferred securities is deferred for up to five years and any such deferral would not be considered a default. During any period of deferral, Ohio Valley would be precluded from declaring or
paying dividends to its shareholders or repurchasing any of its common stock.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
The FDIC is an independent federal agency which insures deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally-insured banks and
savings associations and safeguards the safety and soundness of the financial institution industry. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to statutorily prescribed limits by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured
depositor.
As insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by insured institutions, including the Bank, to
prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a threat to the DIF, and to take enforcement actions against insured institutions. The FDIC may terminate insurance of deposits of any
institution if it finds that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or other regulatory agency.
13
The FDIA requires the FDIC's Board of Directors to set a target or Designated Reserve Ratio (“DRR”) for the DIF
annually. The DRR is the total of the DIF divided by the total estimated insured deposits of the industry. Under the long-range plan, the FDIC set the DRR at 2.0% and set a schedule of assessment rates that would progressively decrease when the DRR
reached 2.0% and 2.5%. The FDIC views the 2.0% DRR as a long-term goal and the minimum level needed to withstand future crises of the magnitude of past crises. Extraordinary growth in insured deposits during the first and second quarters of 2020
caused the DRR to decline below the statutory minimum of 1.35% as of June 30, 2020. In September 2020, the FDIC Board of Directors (“FDIC Board”) adopted a restoration plan to restore the DRR to at least 1.35% by 2028, absent extraordinary
circumstances, as required by the FDIA. The restoration plan maintained the assessment rate schedules in place at the time and required the FDIC to update its analysis and projections for the DIF balance and DRR at least semiannually. In the
semiannual update for the restoration plan in June 2022, the FDIC projected that the DRR was at risk of not reaching the statutory minimum of 1.35% by September 30, 2028, the statutory deadline to restore the DRR. Based on this update, the FDIC Board
approved an amended restoration plan, and concurrently proposed an increase in initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules uniformly by two basis points, applicable to all insured depository institutions. In October 2022, the FDIC Board
finalized the increase with an effective date of January 1, 2023, applicable to the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. The revised assessment rate schedules are intended to increase the likelihood that the DRR reaches the statutory minimum
level of 1.35% by September 30, 2028.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the insured institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition enacted or imposed by the bank's regulatory agency. Notice would be given to all depositors before the
deposit insurance was terminated.
Community Reinvestment Act
The CRA requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas consistent with safe and sound
banking practice. Under the CRA, each depository institution is required to help meet the credit needs of its market areas by, among other things, providing credit or other financial assistance to low and moderate-income individuals and
communities. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the CRA. As of its most recent evaluation, the Bank was assigned an overall CRA rating of “Outstanding.”
Customer Privacy Protections
The Bank is subject to regulations limiting the ability of financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to
nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated party.
Patriot Act
The Uniting and Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorist Act of 2001, as
amended (the “Patriot Act”), and related regulations require regulated financial institutions to establish a program specifying procedures for obtaining identifying information from customers seeking to open new accounts and establish enhanced due
diligence policies, procedures and controls designed to detect and report suspicious activity.
The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (the “AMLA”), which amends the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (the “BSA”), was
enacted in January 2021. The AMLA is intended to be a comprehensive reform and modernization to U.S. bank secrecy and anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, it codifies a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering compliance for financial
institutions; requires the development of standards for evaluating technology and internal processes for BSA compliance; expands enforcement-related and investigation-related authority, including increasing available sanctions for certain BSA
violations and instituting BSA whistleblower initiatives and protections.
14
The Company has established policies and procedures to comply with the requirements of the Patriot Act and the AMLA.
Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation
The United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions
against targeted foreign countries and regimes, under authority of various laws, including designated foreign countries, nationals and others. OFAC publishes lists of specially designated targets and countries. Ohio Valley is responsible for, among
other things, blocking accounts of, and transactions with, such targets and countries, prohibiting unlicensed trade and financial transactions with them and reporting blocked transactions after their occurrence. Failure to comply with these sanctions
could have serious financial, legal and reputational consequences, including causing applicable bank regulatory authorities not to approve merger or acquisition transactions when regulatory approval is required or to prohibit such transactions even
if approval is not required. Regulatory authorities have imposed cease and desist orders and civil money penalties against institutions found to be violating these obligations.
Cybersecurity
In March 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement indicates that financial
institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish several lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risks posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to
reliably authenticate customers accessing Internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to
ensure the rapid recovery, resumption and maintenance of the financial institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data
and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the financial institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If Ohio Valley fails to observe the regulatory guidance,
it could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.
In February 2018, the SEC published interpretive guidance to assist public companies in preparing disclosures about cybersecurity risks
and incidents. These SEC guidelines, and any other regulatory guidance, are in addition to notification and disclosure requirements under state and federal banking law and regulations.
In November 2021, federal banking agencies issued a final rule that became effective in May 2022 requiring banking organizations that
experience a cybersecurity incident to notify certain entities. A cybersecurity incident occurs when actual or potential harm to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information or an information system occurs, or there is a violation
or imminent threat of a violation to banking security policies and procedures. The affected bank must notify its respective federal regulator of the cybersecurity incident as soon as possible and no later than 36 hours after the bank determines a
cybersecurity incident that rises to the level of a notification incident has occurred. These notifications are intended to promote early awareness of threats to banking organizations and will help banks react to those threats before they manifest
into larger incidents. This rule also requires bank service providers to notify their bank organization customers of a cybersecurity incident that has caused, or is reasonably likely to cause, a material service disruption or degradation for four or
more hours.
Furthermore, once final rules are adopted, the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act, enacted in March 2022, will
require certain covered entities to report a covered cyber incident to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) within 72 hours after it reasonably believes an incident has occurred.
Separate reporting to CISA will also be required within 24 hours, if a ransom payment is made as a result of a ransomware attack.
15
On July 26, 2023, the SEC adopted final
rules that require public companies to promptly disclose material cybersecurity incidents in a Current Report on Form 8-K and detailed information regarding their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance on an annual basis in an
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Companies are required to report on Form 8-K any cybersecurity incident they determine to be material within four business days of making that determination. See Item 1C “Cybersecurity” in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These
SEC rules, and any other regulatory guidance, are in addition to notification and disclosure requirements under state and federal banking law and regulations.
State regulators have also been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations. Recently, several
states have adopted regulations requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs and providing detailed requirements with respect to these programs, including data encryption requirements. Many states have also recently
implemented or modified their data breach notification and data privacy requirements. Ohio Valley expects this trend of state-level activity in those areas to continue and is continually monitoring developments in the states in which our customers
are located.
Executive and Incentive Compensation
Following the adoption of additional listing requirements in 2023 to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act and rules adopted by the SEC in
October 2022, public companies are now required to adopt and implement “clawback” procedures policies for incentive compensation payments and to disclose the details of the procedures which allow recovery of incentive compensation that was paid on
the basis of erroneous financial information necessitating an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements. This clawback policy is intended to apply to compensation paid within the three completed fiscal
years immediately preceding the date the issuer is required to prepare a restatement, a three-year look-back window of the restatement and would cover all executives (including former executives) who received incentive awards. The Company adopted its
clawback policy in September 2023, which is listed as Exhibit 97 and is titled “Ohio Valley Banc Corp. Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.”
Employees
As of December 31, 2025, Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries had approximately 269 employees and officers and 256 full-time equivalent
employees and officers. Management considers its relationship with its employees and officers to be good.
Other Information
The Bank and Loan Central may be required to make capital expenditures related to properties which they may acquire through foreclosure
proceedings in the future. However, the amount of such capital expenditures, if any, is not currently determinable.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this report and other publicly available documents incorporated herein by reference
constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are often,
but not always, identified by the use of such words as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions. Such statements
involve various important assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, particularly with regard to developments related to the current economic and geopolitical landscape, and which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the effects of fluctuating interest rates on our customers’ operations and financial condition; changes in
political, economic or other factors, such as inflation rates, recessionary or expansive trends, taxes, the effects of implementation of legislation and the continuing economic uncertainty in various parts of the world; competitive pressures; the
level of defaults and prepayment on loans made by the Company; unanticipated litigation, claims, or assessments; fluctuations in the cost of obtaining funds to make loans; and regulatory changes.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those
predicted by the forward-looking statements because of various factors and possible events, including those factors identified below. There is also the risk that Ohio Valley’s management or Board of Directors incorrectly analyzes these risks and
forces, or that the strategies Ohio Valley develops to address them are unsuccessful.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation and disclaims any intention to republish revised or updated forward looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, unanticipated future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Ohio Valley or any person acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by the following cautionary statements.
18
The following are certain risks that management believes are specific to our business. This should not be viewed as an all-inclusive list
of risks or as presenting the risk factors listed in any particular order.
Risks Related to Economic, Political and Market Conditions
Economic, political and market risks could adversely affect our earnings and capital through declines in loan demand, quality of investment securities,
our borrowers’ ability to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing our loans, and deposits.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon local and national economic and political conditions, as well as governmental fiscal and
monetary policies. Inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, fiscal and monetary policy, tariffs, a United States withdrawal from a significant renegotiation of trade agreements, trade wars, and other factors beyond our control
may adversely affect our deposit levels and composition, the quality of our assets including investment securities available for purchase, and the demand for loans, which, in turn, may adversely affect our earnings and capital. Recent political
developments have resulted in substantial changes in economic and political conditions for the United States and the remainder of the world. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make
timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings and cash flows.
In addition, consistent with our community banking philosophy, substantially all of our loans are to individuals and businesses in Ohio
and West Virginia. Therefore, our local and regional economies have a direct impact on our ability to generate deposits to support loan growth, the demand for loans, the ability of borrowers to repay loans, the value of collateral securing our loans
(particularly loans secured by real estate), and our ability to collect, liquidate and restructure problem loans. Consequently, any decline in the economy of this market area could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. We are less able than larger financial institutions to spread risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies.
Our earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the United States Government and its agencies, sometimes adversely.
The policies of the Federal Reserve Board impact us significantly, especially given the current
economic and geopolitical landscape. The Federal Reserve Board regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its policies directly and indirectly influence the rate of interest earned on loans and paid on borrowings and
interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the value of financial instruments we hold. Those policies determine to a significant extent our cost of funds for lending and investing. Changes in those policies are beyond our control and are
difficult to predict. Federal Reserve Board policies can also affect our borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay their loans. For example, a tightening of the money supply by the Federal Reserve Board could reduce
the demand for a borrower’s products and services. This could adversely affect the borrower’s earnings and ability to repay its loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our earnings depend substantially on our interest rate spread, which is the difference between (i) the rates we earn on loans, securities
and other earning assets and (ii) the interest rates we pay on deposits and other borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and
regulatory authorities (in particular, the Federal Reserve Board). While we have taken measures intended to manage the risks of operating in a changing interest rate environment, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in
avoiding undue interest rate risk. As market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits, which will result in a decrease of our net interest income and could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
19
In addition to the effect of changes in interest rates on our interest rate spread, changes in interest rates may negatively affect the
ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, particularly as interest rates have been rising and adjustable-rate debt becomes more expensive. Increased defaults on loans could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Adverse changes in the financial markets may adversely impact our results of
operations.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing unprecedented levels of volatility in recent years. While we generally
invest in securities with limited credit risk, certain investment securities we hold possess higher credit risk since they represent beneficial interests in structured investments collateralized by residential mortgages. Regardless of the level of credit risk, all investment securities are subject to changes in market value due to changing interest rates and implied credit spreads.
Structured investments have at times been subject to significant market volatility due to the uncertainty of credit ratings, deterioration
in credit losses occurring within certain types of residential mortgages, changes in prepayments of the underlying collateral and the lack of transparency related to the investment structures and the collateral underlying the structured investment
vehicles.
A default by another larger financial institution could adversely affect financial markets generally.
Many financial institutions and their related operations are closely intertwined, and the soundness of such financial institutions may, to
some degree, be interdependent. As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity and credit problems, losses or defaults by other institutions. This “systemic risk”
may adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to Our Business
We operate in an extremely competitive market, and our business will suffer if we are unable to compete effectively.
In our market area, we encounter significant competition from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,
mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial institutions. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation,
changes in technology and product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we do and may offer services that
we do not or cannot provide. Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks at one or both ends of the transaction. For example, consumers can now pay bills and transfer
funds directly without banks. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and income generated from those deposits. In addition, technological advancements allow
parties to better serve customers, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Our ability to maintain our history of strong financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will depend, in part, on our ability to use technology to deliver
products and services that provide convenience to customers and to create additional efficiencies in our operations.
Our small to medium-sized business target market may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn in the economy.
We target our business development and marketing strategy largely to serve the banking and financial services needs of small to
medium-sized businesses. These small to medium-sized businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger companies. If general economic conditions negatively impact our primary Ohio and West
Virginia markets, our results of operations and financial condition may be negatively affected.
20
Our business strategy includes growth plans. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to
manage our growth effectively.
We intend to continue pursuing a profitable growth strategy. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our market presence in our existing markets or successfully enter new markets or that any such
expansion will not adversely affect our results of operations. Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations and could adversely affect
our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Also, if we grow more slowly than anticipated, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Our ability to grow successfully will depend on a variety of factors, including the continued availability of desirable business
opportunities, the competitive responses from other financial institutions in our market areas, our ability to raise sufficient capital and our ability to manage our growth. While we believe we have the management resources and internal systems in
place to successfully manage our future growth, there can be no assurance growth opportunities will be available or growth will be successfully managed.
We may acquire other financial institutions or parts of institutions in the future and may open new branches. We also
may consider and enter into new lines of business or offer new products or services. Expansions of our business involve a number of expenses and risks, including:
|
•
|
the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions or new products or services;
|
|
•
|
the potential inaccuracy of estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risk with
respect to the target institutions;
|
|
•
|
the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring local management and opening new offices, and the delay between commencing
these activities and the generation of profits from the expansion;
|
|
•
|
our ability to finance an acquisition or other expansion and the possible dilution to our existing shareholders;
|
|
•
|
the diversion of management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction and the integration of the operations and personnel
of the combining businesses;
|
|
•
|
entry into unfamiliar markets;
|
|
•
|
the possible failure of the introduction of new products and services into our existing business;
|
|
•
|
the incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and possible adverse short-term effects on
our results of operations; and
|
|
•
|
the risk of loss of key employees and customers.
|
We may incur substantial costs to expand, and we can give no assurance that such expansion will result in the levels of profits we
expect. Neither can we assure that integration efforts for any future acquisitions will be successful. We may issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions, which could dilute the economic and voting interests of our existing
shareholders. We may also lose customers as we close one or more branches as part of a plan to expand into other areas or become more productive from other branches.
21
Failure to integrate or adopt new technology may undermine our ability to meet customer demands, leading to adverse effects on our financial condition and
results of operations.
The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven
products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers while reducing costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address customer needs by using
technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Digital or cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and other “fintech” technologies are being developed to change
the way banks operate and are eliminating the need for banks as financial deposit-keepers and intermediaries. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and
services to our customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological changes affecting the financial services industry could negatively affect our growth, revenue and profit.
Periodic regulatory reviews may affect our operations and financial condition.
We are subject to periodic reviews from state and federal regulators, which may impact our operations and our financial condition. As
part of the regulatory review, financial assets measured at amortized cost (loans and securities), off-balance sheet credit exposures, and the allowance for credit losses are evaluated. As a result, the expected credit loss identified could change
and may require us to increase our provision for credit losses. This could be impacted by increases in asset risk coming from declines in asset quality, loan loss experience, and other relevant economic factors. Any increase in our allowance for credit losses as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Findings of deficiencies in compliance with regulations could result in restrictions on our activities or even a loss in our financial holding company status.
Our exposure to credit risk could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
Making loans carries inherent risks, including interest rate changes over the time period in which loans may be repaid, risks resulting
from changes in the economy, risks that we will have inaccurate or incomplete information about borrowers, risks that borrowers will become unable to repay loans; and, in the case of loans secured by collateral, risks resulting from uncertainties
about the future value of the collateral.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprise a significant portion of our loan portfolio. Commercial loans generally are viewed
as having a higher credit risk than residential real estate or consumer loans because they usually involve larger loan balances to a single borrower and are more susceptible to a risk of default during an economic downturn. Since our loan portfolio
contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans and ultimately could have a material adverse effect on our
earnings and financial condition. We may also have concentrated credit exposure to a particular industry, resulting in a risk of a material adverse effect on our earnings or financial condition if there is an event adversely affecting that industry.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on information
provided to us by customers and counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of customers and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with
respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to a business, we may assume that the customer’s audited financial statements conform with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. We may also rely on the audit report covering those financial statements. Our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted to the extent that we rely on financial statements that do not comply with GAAP or on financial statements and other financial information that are materially misleading.
22
We may be required to repurchase loans we have sold or indemnify loan purchasers under the terms of the sale agreements, which could adversely affect our
liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
When the Bank sells a mortgage loan, it agrees to repurchase or substitute a mortgage loan if it is later found to have breached any
representation or warranty the Bank made about the loan or if the borrower is later found to have committed fraud in connection with the origination of the loan. While we have underwriting policies and procedures designed to avoid breaches of
representations and warranties as well as borrower fraud, we cannot give assurance that no breach or fraud will ever occur. Required repurchases, substitutions or indemnifications could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations
and financial condition.
If our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for credit losses, our net income will decrease.
Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be
insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In accordance with GAAP, we maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for loan
defaults and non-performance, which when combined, we refer to as the allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual credit losses, and future provisions for credit losses could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results. Our allowance for credit losses is based upon a number of relevant factors, including, but not limited to, trends in the level of nonperforming assets and classified loans, current economic conditions in the
primary lending area, prior experience, possible losses arising from specific problem loans, and our evaluation of the risks in the current portfolio. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions,
including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and allowance for credit losses. We
cannot assure you that we will not further increase the allowance for credit losses or that regulators will not require us to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
Failures of, or material breaches in security of, our systems or those of third-party service providers may have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Operational system failures and service
interruptions. We collect, process and store sensitive consumer data by utilizing computer systems and telecommunications networks operated by both us and third-party service providers. Our dependence upon
automated systems to record and process the Bank’s transactions poses the risk that technical system flaws, employee errors, tampering or manipulation of those systems, or attacks by third parties will result in losses and may be difficult to
detect. Our inability to use these information systems at critical points in time could unfavorably impact the timeliness and efficiency of our business operations. In recent years, some banks have experienced denial of service attacks in which
individuals or organizations flood the bank's website with extraordinarily high volumes of traffic, with the goal and effect of disrupting the ability of the bank to process transactions.
Third-party service provider and vendor
risks. We could also be adversely affected if one of our employees or a third-party service provider causes a significant operational break-down or failure, either as a result of human error or where an
individual purposefully sabotages or fraudulently manipulates our operations or systems. We are further exposed to the risk that third-party service providers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations or will be affected by the same
risks as the Bank has. These disruptions may interfere with service to the Bank’s customers, cause additional regulatory scrutiny and result in a financial loss or liability. We are also at risk of the impact of natural disasters, terrorism, and
international hostilities on our systems or for the effects of outages or other failures involving power or communications systems operated by others. Further, we may be affected by data breaches at retailers and other third parties who participate
in data interchanges with us and our customers that involve the theft of customer credit and debit card data, which may include the theft of our debit card PIN numbers and commercial card information used to make purchases at such retailers and
other third parties. Such data breaches could result in us incurring significant expenses to reissue debit cards and cover losses, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
23
Employee errors, misconduct, and fraud. Employees could engage in fraudulent, improper, or unauthorized activities on behalf of clients or improper use of confidential information. We may not be able to prevent employee errors or misconduct, and the precautions
we take to detect this type of activity might not be effective in all cases. Employee errors or misconduct could subject us to civil claims for negligence or regulatory enforcement actions, including fines and restrictions on our business.
In addition, there have been instances where financial institutions have been victims of fraudulent activity in which criminals pose as
customers to initiate wire and automated clearinghouse transactions out of customer accounts. Although we have policies and procedures in place to verify the authenticity of our customers, we cannot assure that such policies and procedures will
prevent all fraudulent transfers. Such activity can result in financial liability and harm to our reputation.
Cyber-attacks and
data security breaches. Management cannot be certain that the security controls we have adopted will prevent unauthorized access to our computer systems or those of our third-party service providers, whom we
require to maintain similar controls. A security breach of the computer systems and loss of confidential information, such as customer account numbers or personal information, could result in a loss of customers’ confidence and, thus, loss of
business. In addition, unauthorized access to or use of sensitive data could subject us to litigation and liability and costs to prevent further such occurrences.
Our assets at risk for cyber-attacks include financial assets and non-public information belonging to customers. We
use several third-party vendors who have access to our assets via electronic media. Certain cyber security risks arise due to this access, including cyber espionage, blackmail, ransom, and theft. As cyber and other data security threats continue to
evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify and enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.
Our ability to pay cash dividends is limited, and we may be unable to pay cash dividends in the future even if we would like to do so.
We are dependent primarily upon the earnings of our operating subsidiaries for funds to pay dividends on our common stock. The payment of
dividends by us is also subject to certain regulatory restrictions. As a result, any payment of dividends in the future will be dependent, in large part, on our ability to satisfy these regulatory restrictions and our subsidiaries’ earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition and other factors. Although our financial earnings and financial condition have allowed us to declare and pay periodic cash dividends to our shareholders, there can be no assurance that our dividend policy or the
size of dividend distribution will continue in the future, even if we are able to pay dividends. Our failure to pay dividends on our common shares could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.
The loss of key members of our senior management team could adversely affect our business.
We believe that our success depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our senior management. Their experience and industry contacts
significantly benefit us. In addition, our success depends in part upon senior management’s ability to implement our business strategy. The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of services
of any of our senior executive officers or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract
additional qualified personnel.
24
Loss of key employees may disrupt relationships with certain customers.
Our business is primarily relationship-driven in that many of our key employees have extensive customer relationships. Loss of a key
employee with such customer relationships may lead to the loss of business if the customers were to follow that employee to a competitor. While we believe we have strong relationships with our key producers, we cannot guarantee that all of our key
personnel will remain with our organization. Loss of such key personnel, should they enter into an employment relationship with one of our competitors, could result in the loss of some of our customers.
If we foreclose on collateral property and own the underlying real estate, we may be subject to the increased costs associated with the ownership of real
property, resulting in reduced revenue.
We may have to foreclose on collateral property to protect our investment and may thereafter own and operate such property, in which case
we will be exposed to the risks inherent in the ownership of real estate. The amount that we, as a mortgagee, may realize after a default is dependent upon factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to: (i) general or local economic
conditions; (ii) neighborhood values; (iii) interest rates; (iv) real estate tax rates; (v) operating expenses of the mortgaged properties; (vi) supply of and demand for rental units or properties; (vii) ability to obtain and maintain adequate
occupancy of the properties; (viii) zoning laws; (ix) governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies; and (x) acts of God. Certain expenditures associated with the ownership of real estate, principally real estate taxes and maintenance costs,
may adversely affect the income from the real estate. Therefore, the cost of operating a real property may exceed the rental income earned from such property, and we may have to advance funds in order to protect our investment, or we may be required
to dispose of the real property at a loss. We may also acquire properties with hazardous substances that must be removed or remediated, the costs of which could be substantial, and we may not be able to recover such costs from the responsible
parties. The foregoing expenditures and costs could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.
A limited trading market exists for our common shares, which could lead to price volatility.
Your ability to sell or purchase our common shares depends upon the existence of an active trading market for our common shares.
Although our common shares are quoted on The NASDAQ Global Market, the volume of trades on any given day has been limited historically. As a result, you may be unable to sell or purchase our common shares at the volume, price and time that you
desire. Additionally, a fair valuation of the purchase or sales price of our common shares also depends upon an active trading market, and thus the price you receive for a thinly-traded stock such as our common shares may not reflect its true
value. The limited trading market for our common shares may cause fluctuations in the market value of our common shares to be exaggerated, leading to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market.
Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and have an adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition.
Our primary funding and liquidity source to support our business strategies is a stable customer deposit base. Deposit levels may be
affected by a number of factors, including interest rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments, banking industry conditions that can impact customers perceptions of the safety
and soundness of the banking industry generally or of specific financial institutions, and general economic conditions. In addition, a significant portion of our deposits are not insured above applicable FDIC limits. Uninsured depositors, including
certain commercial and public‑sector depositors, may be more likely to withdraw funds rapidly in response to adverse news about us or the banking industry generally, or in response to perceived or actual market stress. Rapid or unexpected withdrawals
of uninsured deposits could materially increase our funding costs or adversely affect our liquidity position and financial condition. If our deposit levels fall, we could lose a relatively low-cost source of funding, and our interest expense would
likely increase as we obtain alternative funding to replace lost deposits. If local customer deposits are not sufficient to fund our normal operations and growth, we will look to outside sources, such as lines of credit with both the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) and FRB, brokered CDs, a federal funds line with a correspondent bank, and available funds from select deposit placement services. Although the Bank has historically been able to replace maturing deposits and
advances, no assurance can be given that the Bank would be able to replace such funds in the future if our financial condition were to change. If we are required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to support asset growth, our
revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our costs, which would have a negative impact to profitability and the net interest margin.
25
Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Accounting Changes
New laws and increased regulatory oversight may significantly affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and
legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors, borrowers, the DIF and the banking system as a whole, and not to
benefit our shareholders. Regulations affecting banks and financial services businesses are undergoing continuous changes, and management cannot predict the effect of these changes. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions
by regulatory agencies may negatively impact us and our ability to increase the value of our business, possibly limiting the services we provide, increasing the potential for competition from non-banks, or requiring us to change the way we operate.
Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition
of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets held by an institution, the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for credit losses and the ability to complete acquisitions. Additionally, actions by regulatory
agencies against us could cause us to devote significant time and resources to defending our business and may lead to penalties that materially affect us and our shareholders. Even the reduction of regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect
on us and our shareholders if such lessening of restrictions increases competition within our industry or market area.
Changes in accounting standards, policies, estimates or procedures could impact our reported financial condition or results of operations.
Entities that set generally applicable accounting standards, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and other regulatory boards, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect
how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restatement of our financial statements for prior periods.
Management’s accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of
operations. Our management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and methods in order to ensure that they comply with GAAP and reflect management’s judgment as to the most appropriate manner in which to
record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, management must select the accounting policy or method to apply from two or more alternatives, any of which might be reasonable under the circumstances yet might
result in reporting materially different amounts than would have been reported under a different alternative.
26
Management has identified several accounting policies that are considered significant (one as being “critical”) to the presentation of our
financial condition and results of operations because they require management to make particularly subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would
be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates about these matters, no assurance can be given that the application of alternative policies or methods might not result in our
reporting materially different amounts.
General Risk Factors
We may be the subject of litigation and other actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
From time to time, we may be subject to a variety of litigation arising out of our business. The risk of litigation increases in times of
increased troubled loan collection activity. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments
or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of
insurance in the future or obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms.
We are at risk of increased losses from fraud.
Criminals are committing fraud at an increasing rate and are using more sophisticated techniques. In some cases, these individuals are
part of larger criminal rings, which allow them to be more effective. Such fraudulent activity has taken many forms, ranging from debit card fraud, check fraud, wire fraud, mechanical devices attached to ATM machines, social engineering and phishing
attacks to obtain personal information, or impersonation of clients through the use of falsified or stolen credentials. Additionally, an individual or business entity may properly identify itself, yet seek to establish a business relationship for
the purpose of perpetrating fraud. An emerging type of fraud even involves the creation of synthetic identification in which fraudsters "create" individuals for the purpose of perpetrating fraud. Further, in addition to fraud committed directly
against us, we may suffer losses as a result of fraudulent activity committed against third parties. Increased deployment of technologies, such as chip card technology, defray and reduce certain aspects of fraud; however, criminals are turning to
other sources to steal personally identifiable information, such as unaffiliated healthcare providers and government entities, in order to impersonate the consumer and thereby commit fraud.
ITEM 1B – UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not applicable.
ITEM 1C – CYBERSECURITY
Ohio Valley recognizes the critical importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and
safeguarding the security of its banking operations and data, including protecting its customers’ information. As a result, the Company has devoted significant financial and personnel resources to assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity
risks and threats, including:
|
•
|
Maintaining policies and procedures regarding security operations and governance through the implementation of the Company’s Information
Security Program;
|
|
•
|
Implementing multi-layered controls to avoid reliance on single controls;
|
|
•
|
Utilizing both preventative and detective tools to monitor and block suspicious activity and to alert us of potential threats;
|
|
•
|
Keeping abreast of new technology and evaluating tools to help respond to threats to cybersecurity in an efficient and effective manner;
|
|
•
|
|
|
•
|
|
|
•
|
Conducting thorough due diligence concerning our third-party service providers, including evaluating their cybersecurity practices; and
|
|
•
|
Providing regular cybersecurity training for both our employees and our Board of Directors.
|
27
|
•
|
Identify and analyze cybersecurity risks;
|
|
•
|
Provide the Company with direction on effectively managing such risks;
|
|
•
|
Approve information security plans, policies, and programs;
|
|
•
|
Assess whether the Company’s current security programs are effective; and
|
|
•
|
Provide recommendations for corrective action.
|
The Company has also implemented an Incident Response Plan which is reviewed and updated at least annually in response to an
ever-changing threat landscape. The purpose of the Incident Response Plan is to provide long-term strategies for the remediation and prevention of, and resiliency to, cybersecurity
threats and incidents. Our Incident Response Plan is executed through the incident response team comprised of both cybersecurity experts and select members of management, including one or more Information Security Officers, who are responsible for monitoring potential threats and identifying events that may warrant Board notification and/or public disclosure.
Notwithstanding the strength of Ohio Valley’s defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated
and increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. While to date, Ohio Valley has not detected a significant compromise, significant data loss, or any material financial losses related to cybersecurity attacks, nor any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
