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 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 mi

Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.03% and 9.95%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to .81% and 7.80%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “The strong growth in net income afforded us the opportunity to harvest some losses in our securities portfolio, allowing us to plant the seeds for future interest income and net interest margin improvement.  These robust results are a credit to the hard work and relationship building efforts of all our employees as we seek to enhance shareholder value.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $2,016,000, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $6,538,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, average earning assets increased $114 million from the same period last year, led by the $75 million growth in average securities and the $65 million growth in average loans. 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 September 30, 2025, the balance of Sweet Home Ohio accounts totaled $9.0 million, as compared to $5.3 million at September 30, 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 September 30, 2025, the amount deposited by the Treasurer totaled $72.5 million, a decrease from $99.6 million at September 30, 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.

Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.16% and 11.30%, respectively, for the first half of 2025, compared to .84% and 8.01%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “We continue to reap the benefits of last year’s decision to participate in the Ohio Homebuyer Plus Program as well as our continued focus on commercial and real estate lending. The strong growth in net income coupled with stable asset quality are essential pillars of our strategy to increase shareholder value.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased $2,572,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased $4,522,000 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, average earning assets increased $122 million from the same period last year, led by the $99 million growth in average securities and the $60 million growth in average loans.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, of $4,406,000, an increase of $1,613,000, or 57.8%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 were $.94, compared to $.58 for the first quarter of 2024. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20% and 11.82%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2025, versus .83% and 7.77%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “Our strong start in 2025 was driven by strategic decisions executed by our management team that resulted in strong earning asset growth, an improving net interest margin and a laser focus on controlling overhead expenses. It is satisfying to see the improvement in shareholder value resulting from those decisions.”

For the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $1,950,000 from the first quarter of 2024. The increase was related to the increase in both average earning assets and the net interest margin. For the first quarter of 2025, average earning assets increased $136 million from the same period last year, led by the $96 million growth in average securities and $68 million growth in average loans. 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. For each Sweet Home Ohio account that was opened, the Company received a deposit from the Ohio Treasurer at a subsidized interest rate.

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 December 31, 2024, of $2,515,000, a decrease of $708,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $.53 compared to $.68 for the prior year fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income totaled $10,999,000, a decrease of $1,632,000, or 12.9%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $2.32 for 2024 versus $2.65 for 2023. Return on average assets and return on average equity were .77% and 7.50%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to .99% and 9.24%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “While it is never enjoyable to report lower net income, given all that was accomplished in 2024, I am quite pleased with how the company is positioned for future success. Net income was down primarily due to two one-time expenses that management knowingly accepted to put the company in a more favorable position as we look to the future. The largest of the two expenses was the $3.3 million associated with the voluntary early retirement program. The other one-time expense was the $496,000 in account bonuses paid to new Sweet Home Ohio depositors. Both of these expenses are part of a broader strategy to improve shareholder value and further our Community First Mission.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net interest income increased $1,755,000, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, net interest income increased $2,777,000 from the same respective periods last year. Contributing to the increase in quarterly net interest income was the $187 million increase in average earning assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the increase in net interest income was attributable to the $149 million increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset by the 23 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. In general, the growth in earning assets was primarily driven by loan growth followed by an increase in average securities and higher average balances being maintained at the Federal Reserve. For 2024, average loans increased $86 million from the prior year. The loan growth experienced during 2024 exceeded expectations and occurred primarily within the commercial lending and residential real estate lending segments. A portion of the growth in the residential real estate segment was associated with the higher utilization of a warehouse line of credit extended to another mortgage lender. For 2024, average securities increased $36 million and average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve increased $28 million from the prior year. These increases were related to investing deposit gro

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “All year, we have faced the challenging headwinds of an unfavorable interest rate environment and rising costs. Earlier in the year, I suggested that consistent, quality loan growth will be the key to meeting these challenges. And boy, did our bankers rise to the challenge by producing strong loan growth that exceeded expectations. This loan growth in conjunction with the successful roll out of the Sweet Home Ohio deposit account were key contributors to our 3rd quarter results. We look forward to a strong finish to 2024 as we maintain a laser focus on our Community First Mission.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income increased $1,205,000, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income increased $1,022,000 from the same respective periods last year. Contributing to the increase in quarterly net interest income was the $159 million increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of 9 basis points. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the increase in net interest income was attributable to the $136 million increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset by the 32 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. In general, the growth in earning assets was primarily driven by loan growth followed by higher average balances being maintained at the Federal Reserve. The loan growth experienced during 2024 has exceeded expectations and has occurred within the commercial lending segment and in the residential real estate lending segment. A portion of the growth in the residential real estate segment was associated with the higher utilization of a warehouse line of credit extended to another mortgage lender. The decrease in the net interest margin for the respective periods was related to the cost of funding sources increasing more than the yield on earning assets. This increase in the cost of funding was partially linked to the Co

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 June 30, 2024, of $2,972,000, a decrease of $277,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024 were $.63 compared to $.68 for the prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income totaled $5,765,000, a decrease of $1,392,000, or 19.4%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $1.21 for the first six months of 2024 versus $1.50 for the first six months of 2023. Return on average assets and return on average equity were .84% and 8.01%, respectively, for the first half of 2024, compared to 1.16% and 10.63%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “Your company continues to face the dual headwinds of a difficult interest rate environment and rising costs due to inflation. These same headwinds affect many, if not everyone, especially when it comes to home ownership and affordability. This is why we were pleased to recently partner with the Ohio state treasurer to offer an enhanced interest savings alternative, our SWEET HOME OHIO account. The purpose of the SWEET HOME OHIO account is to offer high interest savings to encourage individuals to save toward buying a home in Ohio. Visit our website at www.ovbc.com for more details on this exciting new account or stop by your local Ohio Valley Bank office to start your SWEET HOME OHIO savings today!”

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income increased $349,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income decreased $183,000 from the same respective periods last year. Contributing to the increase in quarterly net interest income was the $129 million increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of 29 basis points. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in net interest income was attributable to the 44 basis point decrease in the net interest margin, which more than offset the contribution from the $124 million increase in average earning assets. In general, the decrease in the net interest margin for the respective periods was related to the cost of funding sources increasing more than the yield on earning assets. This increase in the cost of funding was partially linked to the Company’s decision to increase rates on deposit accounts to attract deposits amidst heightened market competition for such funds. In addition, the composition of funding sources trended toward certificates of deposit and wholesale funding sources, which generally cost more than other funding sources, such as checking, NOW, savings and money market deposit products.

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, 2024, of $2,793,000, a decrease of $1,115,000, or 28.5%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2024 were $.58, compared to $.82 for the first quarter of 2023. Return on average assets and return on average equity were .83% and 7.77%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024, versus 1.28% and 11.85%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “Though this year’s unfavorable interest rate environment slowed earnings by reducing the net interest margin as we expected, the Company still netted nearly $2.8 million for the quarter. We believe consistent, quality loan growth is key. We are determined to work even harder to maximize returns and improve the quality of life for our shareholders, employees, customers, and the community as a whole.”

For the first quarter of 2024, net interest income decreased $532,000 from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was largely related to the decrease in the net interest margin, which was partially offset by growth in average earning assets, led by strong growth in the loan portfolio. For the first quarter of 2024, the net interest margin was 3.61%, a decrease from 4.21% for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin was related to the cost of funding sources increasing more than the yield on earning assets. This increase in the cost of funding was partially linked to the Company’s decision to increase rates on deposit accounts to attract deposits amidst heightened market competition for such funds. In addition, the composition of funding sources trended toward certificates of deposit and wholesale funding sources, which generally cost more than other funding sources, such as, checking, NOW, savings and money market deposit products. Partially offsetting the decrease in the net interest margin was the $119 million growth in average earning assets. The average balance of loans for the first quarter of 2024 was $976 million, an increase of $79 million from the first quarter of 2023, led by commercial and residential real estate lending. For the same period, the average balance maintained at the Federal Reserve increased $60 million and average securities decreased $17 million, as maturities were deployed into higher yielding loans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the provision for credit loss expense was $751,000, an increase of $262,000 from the first quarter of 2023. The provision for credit loss expense for the first quarter of 2024 was primarily related to quarterly net charge-offs of $396,000, general reserves associated with the $18 million increase in total loans since Decembe

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 December 31, 2023, of $3,223,000, a decrease of $301,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $.68 compared to $.74 for the prior year fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net income totaled $12,631,000, a decrease of $707,000, or 5.3%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $2.65 for 2023 versus $2.80 for 2022. Return on average assets and return on average equity were .99% and 9.24%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 1.06% and 9.86%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “While our results for 2023 didn’t quite match the record year we celebrated in 2022, I want to commend our team of dedicated bankers who worked hard to produce these solid results. Our lending team turned in a particularly strong performance with double-digit average loan growth while our deposit gathering staff did their part to fund this strong growth despite challenging market dynamics. Even though the cost of doing business and funding our balance sheet increased substantially in 2023, our employees and your company continued to invest time and resources in support of our Community First Mission.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net interest income decreased $1,075,000 from the same period last year. The decrease was largely related to the decrease in the net interest margin, which was partially offset by growth in average earning assets of $92 million, led by strong growth in the loan portfolio. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the net interest margin was 3.71%, a decrease from the 4.38% for the fourth quarter of 2022. During 2022, the Company experienced an increasing trend in the net interest margin in relation to the significant increase in market interest rates based on actions taken by the Federal Reserve, which contributed to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin improvement peaked during the fourth quarter of 2022. During 2023, the net interest margin has experienced a decreasing trend because the Company has been increasing rates on deposit accounts to attract deposits as market competition increased and the deposit composition has trended toward higher cost certificates of deposit. Furthermore, the higher utilization of wholesale funding sources to fund loan growth contributed to a higher cost of funds. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net interest income increased $1,249,000 from the same period last year. Contributing to the increase was the higher year-to-date net interest margin and the higher

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 September 30, 2023, of $2,251,000, a decrease of $1,439,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023 were $.47 compared to $.77 for the prior year third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income totaled $9,408,000, a decrease of $406,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $1.97 for the first nine months of 2023 versus $2.06 for the first nine months of 2022. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.00% and 9.21%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 1.03% and 9.56%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “Given the historic rise in interest rates resulting from the Federal Reserve’s action to reduce inflation, we have been pleased with the resilience of our loan demand. However, the competition for deposits to fund this growth has been challenging, putting pressure on our margins, and we expect that to be the case for some time. Even though there is much uncertainty in the world right now, your Company is well positioned with a dedicated team of community bankers and a strong balance sheet to navigate these challenges.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income decreased $469,000 from the same period last year. The decrease was largely related to the decrease in the net interest margin. For the third quarter of 2023, the net interest margin was 3.85%, a decrease from the 4.03% for the third quarter of 2022. During 2022, the Company experienced an increasing trend in the net interest margin in relation to the significant increase in market interest rates based on actions taken by the Federal Reserve, which contributed to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. During 2023, the net interest margin has experienced a decreasing trend because the Company has been increasing rates on deposit accounts to attract deposits as market competition increased and the deposit composition has trended toward higher cost certificates of deposit. Furthermore, the higher utilization of wholesale funding sources to fund loan growth contributed to a higher cost of funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income increased $2,324,000 from the same period last year. Contributing to the increase was the higher year-to-date net interest margin and the higher relative balances maintained in loans, as opposed to the Federal Reserve, which generally yields less than loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net interest margin was 4.03%, compared to 3.73% for the same period the

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 June 30, 2023, of $3,249,000, an increase of $1,250,000 from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023 were $.68 compared to $.42 for the prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net income totaled $7,157,000, an increase of $1,033,000, or 16.9%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share were $1.50 for the first six months of 2023 versus $1.29 for the first six months of 2022. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.16% and 10.63%, respectively, for the first half of 2023, compared to .98% and 8.87%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “This has been an active quarter for the Company. In Waverly, our team of community bankers moved into a new, renovated office. This new location provides us with another opportunity to bring an even better banking experience to our customers. Our customers are the key to our longevity – they are the reason why we have remained and will strive to continue to remain an independent, community bank. To celebrate and thank our customers, all of our OVB locations have hosted special customer appreciation days and are actively planning more events for the coming months. This summer, we have also continued our involvement with the local county fairs. We are proud to support these wonderful community events.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income increased $1,061,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income increased $2,793,000 from the same respective periods last year. Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the increase in the net interest margin. As a result of the significant increase in market interest rates based on actions taken by the Federal Reserve, the net interest margin has responded positively due to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the net interest margin was 4.03%, compared to 3.64% for the same period the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the net interest margin was 4.12%, compared to 3.58% for the same period the prior year. Although the net interest margin increased over the prior year periods, on a linked quarter basis, the net interest margin decreased to 4.03% for the second quarter of 2023 versus 4.21% for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease is a result of the Company offering higher rates on deposit accounts as market competition increased and to the higher utilization of wholesale funding sources to fund asset growth. The net interest margin for 2023 also benefited from the

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, 2023, of $3,908,000, a decrease of $217,000, or 5.3%, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 were $.82, compared to $.87 for the first quarter of 2022. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.28% and 11.85%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023, versus 1.34% and 11.78%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “Managing through and overcoming challenges has been something our company has been successfully doing for over 150 years now. The recent failure of two high profile banks, one on each coast, is a good reminder that we need to stay humble and remember the basic principles of banking in terms of diversification as well as maintaining a proper, balanced approach. Given the challenging environment in which we operate, I am particularly pleased with our first quarter results.”

For the first quarter of 2023, net interest income increased $1,732,000 from the first quarter of 2022. Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the increase in the net interest margin. In relation to the significant increase in market interest rates based on actions taken by the Federal Reserve, the net interest margin has responded positively due to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the net interest margin was 4.21%, compared to 3.51% for the same period the prior year. The net interest margin also benefited from the higher relative balances maintained in loans, as opposed to the Federal Reserve, which generally yields less than loans. The average balance of loans for the first quarter of 2023 was $897 million, an increase of $79 million from the first quarter of 2022. For the same period, the average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve decreased $92 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the provision for credit loss expense was $489,000, an increase of $1,615,000 from the first quarter of 2022. The provision for credit loss expense for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily related to quarterly net charge-offs of $290,000 and to the general reserves associated with the $21 million increase in total loans since December 31, 2022. The increase in provision for credit loss expense from the first quarter of 2022 was related to the negative provision expense recognized in that quarter due to lower criticized and classified loans and the partial release of the COVID reserve for the pandemic environment. The allowance for credit losses was .84% of total loans at March 31, 2023, compared to .60% at December 31, 2022 and

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 December 31, 2022, of $3,524,000, an increase of $1,220,000, or 53.0%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $.74 compared to $.48 for the prior year fourth quarter.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, net income totaled $13,338,000, an increase of $1,606,000, or 13.7%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share were $2.80 for 2022 versus $2.45 for 2021.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 9.86%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to .95% and 8.45%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller stated, “2022 has seen record inflation, ongoing interest rate hikes and economic uncertainty.  Yet, in spite of these and other challenges, I am pleased to report your Company generated record net earnings during our 150th year of business.  These results would not have been possible without the dedicated service of our employees, our loyal customers and the support of our shareholders.  They are what made 2022 the success that it was, and for that, we offer a sincere thank you!  As we turn the page from our first 150 years in business, rest assured we remain committed to our Community First mission and our vision to remain an independent community bank.”

For the fourth quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $1,999,000, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, net interest income increased $3,765,000 from the same respective periods last year.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the increase in the net interest margin and the growth in average earning assets.  In relation to the significant increase in market interest rates during 2022 based on actions taken by the Federal Reserve, the net interest margin has responded positively due to the yield on earning assets increasing more than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.  During 2022, the quarterly net interest margin increased each quarter starting at 3.51% for the first quarter and ending at 4.38% for the fourth quarter.  As a result of this positive trend, the current net interest margin now exceeds the prior year.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, the net interest margin was 3.89%, compared to 3.61% for the same period the prior year.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, average earning assets increased $15 million from the same period the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to average securities, which increased $36 million from last year, which was partially offset by a $23 million decrease in average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve.  The growth in average loans for 2022 was

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “It has been another active quarter at OVBC. We believe the best way to maximize shareholder value is by serving our communities as a growing, independent community bank. In this spirit of continued growth, we recently opened our newest location in Ironton, which enabled us to expand our footprint into Lawrence County, Ohio. In addition, we have enjoyed a great year of celebrating Ohio Valley Bank’s 150th anniversary with special customer appreciation events and giveaways across all of our locations. As November 1 marks the day we officially opened our doors for the first time, it makes me think about our future. I am eager to see the bank continue to grow and be a strong force within our communities for the next 150 years.”

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 June 30, 2022, of $1,999,000, a decrease of $862,000 from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 were $.42 compared to $.60 for the prior year second quarter.  For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income totaled $6,124,000, a decrease of $268,000, or 4.2%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share were $1.29 for the first six months of 2022 versus $1.34 for the first six months of 2021.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were .98% and 8.87%, respectively, for the first half of 2022, compared to 1.06% and 9.39%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. President and CEO, Larry Miller said, “OVBC has had an active quarter.  We are set to open our newest Ohio Valley Bank location in Ironton later this summer.  The office will expand our footprint into Lawrence County, Ohio, as well as keep us on the path to continue growing as a strong, independent community bank. We have also been involved in local county fairs this summer and are proud to continue our support of these wonderful community events.  OVB’s 150th anniversary celebration has also continued with our locations hosting special customer appreciation events along with monthly cash giveaways.  Although market conditions continue to be very challenging, our associates at Race Day Mortgage are now offering lending services in additional states across the country.  As we continue to grow, our goal of enhancing the communities we serve remains steadfast.”

For the second quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $338,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, net interest income increased $280,000 from the same respective periods last year.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the growth in average earning assets.  For the six months ended June 30, 2022, average earning assets increased $39 million from the same period the prior year.  The increase was partly due to average securities, which increased $58 million from the first half of last year in relation to higher average deposit balances.  Partially offsetting the growth in securities was the $14 million decrease in average loan balances.  The decrease in average loans was related to SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.  As of the first quarter of 2022, all PPP loans have been paid off.  As a result, the average balance of PPP loans decreased $24 million and the corresponding interest and fees on PPP loans decreased $697,000 for the first half of 2022, as compared to the same period last year.  The earnings contribution from the higher balance of earning assets was partially offset by a decrease

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, 2022, of $4,125,000, an increase of $594,000, or 16.8%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 was $.87, compared to $.74 for the first quarter of 2021.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.34% and 11.78%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, versus 1.20% and 10.47%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

“OVBC has had a successful quarter, and we intend to build on this momentum,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Wiseman.  “At Ohio Valley Bank, we recently demonstrated this by expanding operating hours and announcing that contactless OVB credit cards are arriving in May.  Loan Central has completed another season of tax advance loans and is helping the members of its communities prepare for summer expenses.  At Race Day Mortgage, we are pushing out of the starting gate as we have now realized full staffing and are lending in more states with more lead generation partners.  All these plans stem from a dedication to enhance the communities we serve.  I cannot think of a better way to honor the bank’s 150th anniversary year.”

For the first quarter of 2022, net interest income decreased $58,000 from the first quarter of 2021.  For the three months ended March 31, 2022, average earning assets increased $61 million from the same period the prior year.  The increase was due to average securities and average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, which increased $69 million and $11 million, respectively, from the first quarter of last year in relation to higher average deposit balances.  Partially offsetting the growth in these areas was the $18 million decrease in average loan balances.  The decrease in average loans was related to SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.  As of March 31, 2022, all PPP loans have been paid off.  As a result, the average balance of PPP loans decreased $27 million and the corresponding interest and fees on PPP loans decreased $352,000 for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period last year.  The earnings contribution from the higher balance of earning assets was offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the net interest margin was 3.51%, compared to 3.73% for the same period the prior year.  The decrease was attributable to the higher relative balances maintained in securities and the Federal Reserve, which generally yield less than loans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the provision for loan loss expense was negative $1,126,000, a decrease of $1,074,000 from the first quarter of 2021.  The negative provision for loan loss expense for the first quarter

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 December 31, 2021, of $2,304,000, a decrease of $2,396,000 from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $.48 compared to $.98 for the prior year fourth quarter.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income totaled $11,732,000, an increase of $1,473,000, or 14.4%, from the prior year.  Earnings per share were $2.45 for 2021 versus $2.14 for 2020.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were .95% and 8.45%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to .94% and 7.83%, respectively, for the prior year.

“When I think of 2021, the word perseverance comes to mind.  After all, this was the year we were to put COVID 19 behind us and return to normal,” said Tom Wiseman, Chairman and CEO of the Company.  “Instead, we dealt with new variants (Delta and Omicron) and shuffled our workforce and hours of operation to be there for our customers though the pandemic left us short staffed at times.  Our folks persevered through it all to deliver the outstanding financial services our customers have come to expect.  As a result, we close the books on 2021 with the second highest annual net income earned in the Company’s history.  The successful launch of Race Day Mortgage, Ohio Valley Bank’s new online consumer direct mortgage subsidiary, and the continued pursuit of our ‘Community First’ mission proves that perseverance does pay off.”

For the fourth quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $290,000, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, net interest income increased $1,031,000 from the same period last year.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the growth in average earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, average earning assets increased $132 million from the prior year.  The increase was partly due to average loans, which increased $30 million from last year due to higher commercial loan balances.  In general, commercial loan demand has been positive in our markets, particularly in the counties of Pike and Athens in Ohio and Cabell County in West Virginia.  In addition, the Company participated in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to assist various businesses in our market during the pandemic.  The loan fees earned in association with the PPP loans for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $1,183,000, an increase of $479,000 from the prior year.  As of December 31, 2021, there were $446,000 in PPP loans still outstanding with $15,000 in deferred fees yet to be recognized.  Also contributing to earning asset growth was the $58 million increase in average balance

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 June 30, 2021, of $2,861,000, an increase of $598,000, or 26.4%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 were $.60 compared to $.47 for the prior year second quarter.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net income totaled $6,392,000, an increase of $3,127,000, or 95.8%, from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share were $1.34 for the first six months of 2021 versus $.68 for the first six months of 2020.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 9.39%, respectively, for the first half of 2021, compared to .62% and 5.07%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. Chairman and CEO, Tom Wiseman said, “It is interesting to note the pandemic had such a brief yet impactful effect on the banking industry, whether through direct assistance programs like stimulus payments and PPP loans or through changes in habits such as heightened use of debit and credit cards due to contactless shopping and food ordering. As we move forward and things return to normal, managers at Ohio Valley Bank and Loan Central are innovating to reduce expenses and augment product lines.  A great example of that is OVB’s Capital Express accounts receivable financing, which assists local businesses by allowing them to borrow on outstanding invoices and improve their cash flow, all while making invoicing and bookkeeping a snap.  Advancements like this are positively positioning the Company for the days ahead.”

For the second quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $420,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income increased $464,000 from the same respective periods last year.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the growth in average earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, average earning assets increased $158 million from the same period the prior year.  The increase was partly due to average loans, which increased $60 million from the first half of last year in relation to higher commercial loan balances.  In general, commercial loan demand has been positive in our markets, particularly in the counties of Pike and Athens in Ohio and Cabell County in West Virginia.  Approximately $13 million of the growth in average loans was related to the Company’s participation in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to assist various businesses in our market during the pandemic.  The loan fees earned in association with the PPP loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $593,000, an increase of $522,000 from the same period the prio

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, 2021, of $3,531,000, an increase of $2,529,000 from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2021 was $.74, compared to $.21 for the first quarter of 2020.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20% and 10.47%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021, versus .40% and 3.14%, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

“A fantastic quarter as our communities begin to emerge from the pandemic and move into 2021.  However, our management team remains vigilant as interest rates continue at an extreme low and the boon seen from government pandemic recovery programs wane,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Wiseman. Wiseman also noted an encouraging increase in income from mortgage banking and interchange fees for the quarter.

For the first quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $44,000 from the same period last year.  For the three months ended March 31, 2021, average earning assets increased $170 million from the same period the prior year.  The increase was partly due to average loans, which increased $72 million from the first quarter of last year in relation to higher commercial loan balances.  Approximately $27 million of the growth in average loans was related to the Company’s participation in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to assist various businesses in our market during the pandemic.  Also contributing to earning asset growth was the $83 million increase in average balances maintained at the Federal Reserve.  In relation to the various stimulus payments received by customers, the Company experienced a significant increase in deposit balances and, to the extent those deposits are not invested in loans or investments, they are invested at the Federal Reserve to be readily available for future funding needs.  The earnings contribution from the higher balance of earning assets was mostly offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the net interest margin was 3.73%, compared to 4.34% for the same period the prior year.  The decrease was primarily related to the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates by 150 basis points in March of 2020.  In relation to the decrease in market rates, the Company experienced a greater decrease in yield on earning assets than the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities.  This trend was partly due to certain deposits already being at or near their interest rate floor, which limited the Company’s ability to reduce deposit costs to the same magnitude as experienced on earning assets.  Furthermore, the current rate on balances maintained at the Federal Reserve is .10% an
