MVB Bank’s Fourth Quarter 2012 Earnings Double

on Organic Growth Results and Recent Acquisition

FY 2012 Net Income Jumps by 54 Percent

Sabraton Branch to Open this Spring

FAIRMONT, WV, March 11, 2013 – MVB Financial Corp., (OTC Markets Group OTCQB: MVBF), and its subsidiary bank, MVB Bank, Inc., today announced quarterly results for the period ending December 31, 2012. Fourth quarter 2012 net income of $1.44 million increased by 98% compared to fourth quarter of 2011 net income of $727,000. Results for the fourth quarter 2012 include the addition of Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (PMG) during the quarter, the acquisition which was immediately accretive to MVB’s fourth quarter earnings.

MVB’s net interest income was $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $700,000 or 19% from the same time period in 2011, and was driven mainly by the continued growth of MVB’s balance sheet, with $92.5 million in average loan growth and a significant demand in refinancing created by historic low mortgage rates.

Interest expense of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 was comparable to the fourth quarter of 2011. Total interest income in the fourth quarter 2012 was $4.6 million, an increase of $631,000, or 16% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 due primarily to continued growth in loan volume. Expenses increased by 40% primarily as a result of funding and implementation of growth initiatives as well as costs related to the acquisition of PMG.

For the full year 2012, net income reached $4.2 million, a 54% increase compared to the same period in 2011. Loan growth in 2012 increased by 19% compared to 2011. MVB’s total assets grew by 36% to $727 million in 2012. Deposits totaled $486.5 million for the twelve months of 2012, an increase of $80.7 million since December 31, 2011.

“We continue to surpass expectations with exceptional growth and performance trends through 2012. MVB’s fourth quarter performance was exceptionally productive as our investment in quality growth initiatives contributed to a stronger balance sheet despite a sustained uncertain economic environment,” said Larry F. Mazza, CEO of MVB Financial Corp. “Effectively managing risk along with the implementation of key growth initiatives - including the opening of an important new branch in downtown Clarksburg, and the opportunity to acquire PMG and enter the northern Virginia market – are key building blocks in MVB’s growth strategy,” added Mazza.

Operating Performance Supported by Record, Quality Lending

MVB’s high quality loan portfolio continued to drive the bank’s asset growth in 2012 with a 19% increase, or $ 73 million addition in both commercial and mortgage lending compared to 2011. Total capital increased by $ 19.8 million, or 41.5%, since December 31, 2011 driven mainly by a private placement of shares of $13.7 million, MVB’s earnings of $4.2 million for the twelve month period of 2012, and the addition of $2 million in capital from the PMG transaction.

MVB’s nonperforming loan ratio is among the lowest in the country compared to its peers, indicating that the West Virginia economic climate has not suffered as much as the rest of the nation. This factor also contributes to MVB earning the 5-Star Superior Bank rating from Bauer Financial, Inc. for the bank’s safety, soundness and financial strength.

During the fourth quarter, a semi-annual dividend was paid to shareholders, with the full-year dividend payout representing a 40% increase over the previous year.

Looking Ahead

Commenting on the outlook for MVB, CEO Larry Mazza said, “We anticipate that branch development and geographic expansion will continue through 2013. We are pleased with the results from our new Clarksburg branch since its opening last November. Other branch openings set for this year include: Sabraton to the north; Martinsburg in the eastern part of the state; and to the south, we anticipate opening a new market in Charleston. Opening the new branch in Charleston is subject to regulatory approvals. This year we are re-introducing our ‘high return’ cornerstone retail products – ‘Most Valuable Checking’ and ‘Most Valuable Savings’ – and adding new offerings and advanced ways to serve clients who appreciate the value of a community bank that listens.”

“We believe that MVB continues to be well-positioned to seek growth opportunities in our existing markets and to establish the MVB brand in new areas. Supporting our internal growth effort is a talented team of employees, including new additions to the management group and staff. They are a core ingredient for maintaining the highest level of client satisfaction and for our overall growth plan,” added Mazza.
