C&F Financial Corporation

Announces Net Income for Second Quarter and First Six Months

Toano, Va., July 23, 2026—C&F Financial Corporation (the Corporation) (NASDAQ: CFFI), the holding company for C&F Bank, today reported consolidated net income of $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 11.1 percent, compared to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The Corporation reported consolidated net income of $15.4 million for the first six months of 2026, an increase of 17.2 percent, compared to $13.2 million for the first six months of 2025.

Included in net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were the effects of the sale of an equity interest in Bearing Insurance Group, LLC (the “Bearing equity interest”), resulting in a pre-tax gain of $8.3 million, and a securities portfolio restructuring (the “Portfolio Restructuring”), which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $7.1 million.  Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, increased $116,000, or 1.5 percent, and $1.5 million, or 11.5 percent, for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2025, which excludes the effects of the items mentioned above. The following table presents selected financial performance highlights for the periods indicated:

1 The Corporation uses non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted annualized ROA, adjusted annualized ROE, annualized ROTCE and adjusted annualized ROTCE, to provide meaningful information about operating performance to investors by excluding the effects of certain items that management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on consolidated net income.  Each of the non-GAAP measures listed in the prior sentence, for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, exclude the effects of the sale of the Bearing equity interest and the Portfolio Restructuring. For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), please see “Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below.

“We are pleased with our second quarter results,” said Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “Strong loan growth in our community banking segment, increased mortgage originations in our mortgage banking segment, and margin expansion contributed to solid adjusted earnings for the quarter and first half of the year. In addition, our strategic initiatives to expand our geographic footprint into Southwest Virginia and restructure our securities portfolio are already generating positive results, and we expect these initiatives to continue supporting our performance over time.”

1

Key highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 are as follows.

●Community banking segment loans grew $65.9 million, or 8.3 percent annualized, and $125.9 million, or 8.2 percent, compared to December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively;

●Consumer finance segment loans decreased $7.7 million, or 3.3 percent annualized

“C&F started 2026 with strong momentum, delivering earnings per share growth of 25 percent year over year,” said Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “Higher net income at our community banking and mortgage banking segments more than offset lower earnings at our consumer finance segment, compared to March 31, 2025. Solid loan and deposit growth at our community banking segment, approximately a 58 percent jump in mortgage originations at our mortgage banking segment, and higher net interest margin all helped drive these results.

The U.S. economy stayed resilient in the first quarter, but risks are building, specifically with the conflict in the Middle East and potential associated impacts on interest rates, energy prices, and other economic effects. As conditions change, we are prepared to adapt quickly.”

Key highlights for the first quarter of 2026 are as follows.

●Community banking segment loans grew $24.1 million, or 6.1 percent annualized, and $133.2 million, or 9.0 percent, compared to December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively;

●Consumer finance segment loans decreased $3.6 million, or 3.1 percent annualized, and decreased $1.5 million, or less than one percent, compared to December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively;

●Deposits increased $53.7 million, or 9.2 percent annualized, and $182.8 million, or 8.2 percent, compared to December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. A portion of the increases in deposits compared to March 31, 2025 was due to the wind-down of the repurchase agreement program with certain commercial deposit customers during the third quarter of 2025. The balance of these repurchase agreements was $25.9 million at March 31, 2025;

●Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.27 percent for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 4.16 percent for the first quarter of 2025;

●The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 2.98 percent of average total loans for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2.86 percent and 2.64 percent for the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2025, respectively;

1

●Mortgage banking segment loan originations increased $65.9 million, or 57.9 percent, to $179.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Community Banking Segment.  The community banking segment reported net income of $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 due primarily to:

●higher interest income resulting from higher average balances of loans and cash reserves and higher average interest rates on securities;

partially offset by:

●higher salaries and employee benefits due primarily to the addition of a seasoned lending team with the expansion into Southwest Virginia in the third quarter of 2025 and annual compensation adjustments.

Average loans increased $135.2 million, or 9.2 percent, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 due primarily to growth in the commercial real estate, land acquisition and development, and equity lines segments of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $180.5 million, or 8.2 percent, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 due primarily to higher balances across all categories of deposits.
