(at June 30, 2026, and on a year-over-year basis unless noted)

93 consecutive quarters of profitability
Net income increased 53.0% to a quarterly record of $11.8 million, or $0.86 per basic and diluted share
Strong profitability drives ROAA to 1.34%, compared to 0.92%
Net charge-offs to average loans of 0.00%
Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.99%
Cost of interest-bearing liabilities improved to 2.56%, from 2.83%
Net interest margin increased by 26 basis points to 3.48%
Efficiency ratio improved to 56.08%, compared to 64.93%
Second quarter dividend per share increased 4.0% to $0.92 annualized

Lars B. Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am proud to report the second quarter of 2026 was the most profitable quarter in our 129-year history. Our record performance builds upon the strong start we established in the first quarter and demonstrates the meaningful operating leverage across our business. With growing earnings momentum, a solid balance sheet and continued investments in our people, technology, and markets, we believe F&M is well positioned to deliver sustained profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

Income Statement
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $11.8 million, compared to $7.7 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2026 second quarter was $0.86, compared to $0.56 for the same period last year. Net income for the 2026 first half ended June 30, 2026, was $21.4 million, compared to $14.7 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2026 first half was $1.55, compared to $1.07 for the same period last year.

“Second quarter 2026, net income increased 53% year-over-year and 23% sequentially, reflecting continued net interest margin expansion, strong levels of noninterest income, disciplined expense management, and effective balance sheet execution. Record levels of net income drove a significant expansion in our return on average assets at June 30, 2026, to 1.34%, the highest quarterly level in 23 quarters. We achieved these levels of profitability, while maintaining excellent credit quality, underscoring the strength and consistency of our core banking franchise,” continued Mr. Eller.

Deposits
At June 30, 2026, total deposits were $2.87 billion, an increase of 5.9%, or $159.1 million from June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, F&M’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.56%, compared to 2.83% in the same period last year.

Mr. Eller continued: “We continue to see favorable business and economic trends across our Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan markets, supporting higher year-over-year levels of both loans and deposits. We believe this growth reflects the value customers place on our relationship-based approach, local decision-making and ability to deliver responsive, tailored financial solutions. Our deposit growth was also accompanied by improved funding costs, with the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declining 27 basis points from the prior-year period. Together, these trends demonstrate the strength of our local franchise and our continued ability to attract, retain, and deepen high-quality customer relationships across the communities we serve.”

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality

Total loans, net at June 30, 2026, increased 3.0%, or by $79.5 million to $2.70 billion, compared to $2.62 billion at June 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher consumer real estate, commercial and industrial, and agricultural loans, partially offset by lower commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, and consumer loans.

F&M continues to closely monitor its loan portfolio with a particular emphasis on higher risk sectors. Nonperforming loans continue to normalize on a quarter-over-quarter basis and were $7.4 million, or 0.27% of total loans at June 30, 2026, compared to $11.1 million, or 0.42% of total loans at March 31, 2026, and $3.7 million, or 0.14% of total loans at June 30, 2025.

F&M maintains a well-balanced, diverse, and high performing CRE portfolio. CRE loans represented 48.4% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at June 30, 2026. F&M’s CRE portfolio included the following categories at June 30, 2026 ^(*):

CRE Category	Dollar Balance		Percent of CRE Portfolio	Percent of Total Loan Portfolio

Multi-family	$	241,662	18.5%	8.9%

At June 30, 2026, the Company’s total allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.08%, compared to 1.08% at June 30, 2025.

Mr. Eller concluded, “Our record second-quarter and year-to-date profitability demonstrate the strength of the platform we have built and the progress we are making across F&M. As we execute our new three-year strategic plan, we remain focused on building upon this momentum, while preserving the relationship-based service, local decision-making and tailored financial solutions that distinguish F&M across our markets. We believe this combination positions us to achieve the next level of profitable growth and create increasing long-term value for our customers, communities, and shareholders.”
