**Section 2 – Financial Information**<br>

**Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition**<br>

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the "Company") reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, of $3,955,000, an increase of $1,440,000, or 57.3%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $.84 compared to $.53 for the prior year fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income totaled $15,601,000, an increase of $4,602,000, or 41.8%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $3.31 for 2025 versus $2.32 for 2024. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.02% and 9.83%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to .77% and 7.50%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, "As we anticipate the celebration of America's 250th birthday, your Company has reason to celebrate: the achievement of record earnings in our 153rd year in business! These results reflect the dedication of our employees to serving our customers while enhancing shareholder value and remaining rock-solid in their commitment to our Community First mission. None of this would be possible without the continued loyalty and support of our shareholders. We extend our sincere thanks to our shareholders for their continued support as we celebrate this historic milestone for both our company and our country."

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net interest income increased $2,403,000, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, net interest income increased $8,941,000 from the same respective periods last year. These increases were related to the increase in both average earning assets and the net interest margin for the respective periods. For the year ended December 31, 2025, average earning assets increased $103 million from the same period last year, led by the $75 million growth in average loans and the $53 million growth in average securities. The growth in average loans was related to the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and residential real estate lending segments. The growth in these segments was partially offset by a decrease in consumer loans, as this segment was deemphasized by the Company starting in 2024 to focus on more profitable portfolio segments. The growth in average securities was related to the Company participating in a program offered by the Ohio Treasurer called Ohio Homebuyer Plus starting in the third quarter of 2024. As a participant in the program, the Company developed the Sweet Home Ohio deposit account to offer participants an above-market interest rate along with a deposit bonus to assist customers in achieving their home savings goals. At December 31, 2025, the balance of Sweet Home Ohio accounts totaled $9.5 million, as compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2024. For each Sweet Home Ohio account that was opened, the Company received a deposit from the Ohio Treasurer at a subsidized interest rate. At December 31, 2025, the amount deposited by the Treasurer totaled $69.9 million, a decrease from $97.4 million at December 31, 2024. Since the Treasurer deposits are classified as public funds, which are required to be collateralized, the Company invested the funds in securities to be pledged as collateral to the Treasurer. The investment of these funds was the primary contributor to the increase in securities from 2024. For the same period, the average balance of cash maintained at the Federal Reserve decreased $25 million to assist with funding loan growth and to generate a higher rate of return. Most of the growth in other funding sources occurred in average NOW, money market accounts, and savings accounts which increased $58 million from 2024. A large portion of this growth was related to the Ohio Treasurer's matching funds received for the Ohio Homebuyer Plus program along with the deposits made to the Sweet Home Ohio account. Based on the growth in these lower-cost deposits, the average growth in higher-cost certificates of deposit was limited to $34 million for 2025 versus the same period last year.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the net interest margin was 4.18%, an increase from 3.70% for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the net interest margin was 4.07%, an increase from 3.71% for the same period last year. The increase in the net interest margin was related to the yield on earning assets increasing, while the cost of funding sources decreased. The yield on earning assets improved in relation to the growth in higher yielding loans and securities, along with the recognition of a market discount on purchased loans totaling $817,000 during the second quarter and another $832,000 during the fourth quarter. The cost of funding sources decreased as the composition of funding sources shifted to lower cost deposit sources, such as, NOW, money market, and savings accounts. Furthermore, the average cost of certificates of deposit decreased as higher costing certificates repriced to lower current market rates.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit loss expense totaled $378,000, a decrease of $239,000 from the same period last year. The quarterly provision for credit loss expense was primarily associated with the $65 million quarterly increase in loan balances and the quarter-to-date net charge-offs of $225,000, which were partially offset by the decrease in certain qualitative risk factors. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses was $3,054,000, an increase of $585,000 from the same period last year. The year-to-date provision for credit loss expense was primarily associated with net charge-offs of $1,334,000, loan growth of $134 million and an increase in modeled loss rates due to the regression in GDP and unemployment projections, which items were partially offset by the decrease in certain qualitative risk factors. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.40% at December 31, 2025, compared to .46% at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily related to two commercial loans being placed on nonaccrual status. The loans are secured by commercial real estate and deemed adequately collateralized. The allowance for credit losses was .96% of total loans at December 31, 2025, compared to .95% at December 31, 2024.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, noninterest income decreased $3,192,000 and $4,201,000, respectively, from the same periods last year. The decreases were largely due to the loss on the sale of securities. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company sold $25.9 million in securities at a loss of $2,528,000. The securities sold were yielding 1.36% and were reinvested in similar securities with a longer duration that are yielding 4.59%. During the third quarter of 2025 a similar strategy was implemented. The Company sold $11.0 million in securities at a loss of $1,219,000 that were yielding 1.32%. The proceeds were reinvested into securities yielding 4.37%. Collectively, during 2025, the Company sold $36.9 million in securities at a loss of $3,747,000. The yield on securities sold went from 1.35% to 4.52% on the securities purchased. The Company believes that this strategy will increase future interest income by increasing its net interest margin. Also contributing to lower noninterest income was a decrease in other noninterest income, which for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $733,000, and, for the year ended 2025, decreased $690,000 from the same periods the prior year, respectively. The decreases were largely related to lower earnings from a tax processing agreement and the disposition of certain assets. Partially offsetting these decreases was interchange income earned on debit and credit cards, which increased $45,000 and $196,000 during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same periods from 2024, respectively.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $10,853,000, a decrease of $2,453,000 from the same period last year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $44,209,000, a decrease of $1,921,000 from the same period last year. The Company's largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, decreased $2,497,000 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, and decreased $2,873,000 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decreases were primarily related to the cost incurred from the implementation of a voluntary early retirement program in the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted in an expense of $3,338,000. The savings from the early retirement program were partially offset by annual merit increases and data processing and marketing expense. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, data processing increased $44,000 and $457,000, respectively, from the same periods last year. Higher costs in this category were related to debit and credit card processing due to higher transaction volume and conversion costs for the Company's new rewards platform. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, marketing expense increased $221,000 and $385,000, respectively, from the same periods last year. The increases were primarily related to advertising, a higher contribution to our own foundation fund and costs associated with supporting the communities we serve.

------

The Company's total assets at December 31, 2025 were $1.583 billion, an increase of $79 million from December 31, 2024. Since December 31, 2024, loan balances increased $134 million, or 12.6%. The growth in loans occurred mostly in the targeted areas of commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and residential real estate. The growth in these segments was partially offset by a decrease in consumer loans, as this segment has been deemphasized by the Company due to profitability relative to other loan portfolio segments. The increase in loans was primarily funded by a $54 million increase in total deposits, led by time deposits, and a $36 million decrease in balances maintained at the Federal Reserve. At December 31, 2025, shareholders' equity increased $19.9 million from year end 2024. This was primarily from year-to-date net income of $15.6 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.6 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid of $4.3 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income was related to the $5.6 million, net of tax, market appreciation of securities due to a decrease in market interest rates and the recognition of a $3.0 million, net of tax, realized loss on the sale of securities that was previously unrealized.
