Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, of

$4,297,000, a decrease of $109,000, or 2.5%, from the same period during the prior year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026 were $.91, compared to $.94 for the first quarter of 2025. Return on average assets and return on average equity

were 1.08% and 10.17%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026, versus 1.20% and 11.82%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “Our core performance remained strong, highlighted by double-digit growth

in net interest income, margin expansion, and continued loan growth in our targeted commercial markets. While earnings were modestly lower, we continue to invest in our people, technology, and franchise for long-term, sustainable performance.”

For the first quarter of 2026, net interest income increased $1,748,000, or 13.3%, from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was

related to the increase in both average earning assets and the net interest margin. For the first quarter of 2026, average earning assets increased $121 million from the same period last year, led by the $146 million growth in average loans, which

was partially offset by the decreases in average securities of $15 million and average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve of $11 million. The growth in average loans occurred primarily within the targeted commercial lending segments.

For the first quarter of 2026, the net interest margin was 4.01%, an increase from 3.85% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in

the net interest margin was related to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of funding sources. The yield on earning assets improved primarily in relation to the strong growth in higher yielding loans, which now comprise a larger

percentage of earning assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for credit loss expense was $1,622,000, an increase of $1,206,000 from the first

quarter of 2025. The provision for credit loss expense for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily related to the specific allocation of $2,031,000 on two collateral dependent loans. Additional reserves were required for net charge-offs of $278,000

and the $19 million increase in loans since December 31, 2025. These increases in reserves were partially offset by a decrease in certain qualitative risk factors. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.64% at March 31, 2026, compared

to 1.40% at December 31, 2025 and .48% at March 31, 2025. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily related to three commercial loans being placed on nonaccrual status since March 31, 2025. Two of the loans required the specific allocation

that was previously mentioned and one of the loans was deemed adequately collateralized. The allowance for credit losses was 1.07% of total loans at March 31, 2026, compared to .96% at December 31, 2025 and .97% at March 31, 2025.

Noninterest income totaled $3,288,000 for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $358,000 from the same period last year. The decrease

was primarily related to the $540,000 decrease in electronic refund check and deposit fees due to the expiration of a tax processing agreement with a third party. This decrease was partially offset by a $138,000 increase in income from bank owned

life insurance due to the receipt of life insurance proceeds and to the $86,000 increase in debit and credit card interchange income.

Noninterest expense totaled $11,301,000 for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $483,000 from the same period last year. The

Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, increased $335,000, or 5.6%, from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily related to annual merit increases and to health insurance premiums. For the three months

ended March 31, 2026, software expense increased $132,000 from the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to an investment in software to enhance internal processes. Also contributing to higher noninterest expense for the first

quarter of 2026 was a $58,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was related to a higher assessment base due to growth in assets and to an increase in the assessment rate in relation to higher

nonperforming loans.

The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2026 were $1.678 billion, an increase of $95 million from December 31, 2025. The increase in

assets was primarily the result of a $78 million increase in balances maintained at the Federal Reserve and a $19 million increase in total loans. At March 31, 2026, total deposits increased $94 million from year end 2025, which occurred primarily

within time deposits. Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.0 million from year end 2025. This was primarily from year-to-date net income of $4.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.2 million and

cash dividends paid of $1.1 million.
