Repositions Balance Sheet

WASHINGTON, PA., September 2, 2025 -- CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB” or the “Company”) (NASDAQGM: CBFV), the holding company of Community Bank (the “Bank”), announced today the implementation of a balance sheet repositioning strategy of its portfolio of available-for-sale investment securities.

The Bank sold $129.6 million in book value of lower-yielding investment securities, with an average yield of 2.87%, for an estimated after-tax realized loss of $9.3 million. Investment securities sold included $121.1 million of mortgage-backed securities/collateralized mortgage obligations issued by the U.S. government-sponsored agencies, $5.0 million of U.S. government agency securities and $3.5 million of municipal securities.

The Bank expects to purchase $117.8 million of higher-yielding mortgage-backed securities/collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S government-sponsored agencies, municipal securities, subordinated debt investments and non-agency guaranteed securitizations with an average yield of approximately 5.51%, all of which will be classified as available-for-sale at time of purchase.

President and CEO John H. Montgomery stated, “We elected to proactively reposition our securities portfolio during the third quarter, which we anticipate will provide significant future earnings benefit. We expect the repositioning to add approximately 20 basis points to our net interest margin and approximately $0.41 to annual earnings per share. We believe this is a prudent use of capital designed to enhance long-term shareholder value as well as improve earnings.”

On an annualized basis, the purchased securities are expected to have a positive spread differential of about 264 basis points over the securities that were sold, which is expected to add approximately $2.2 million of after-tax earnings. The Bank expects to recover the estimated $9.3 million after-tax realized loss on the sale of securities in about 4.2 years.

The loss on the sale of securities is expected to have a neutral impact on the Company’s consolidated shareholders' equity and tangible book value per share. As a result of the repositioning, the Bank's regulatory capital levels continue to remain well above those required to be categorized as well-capitalized.

The Company expects the balance sheet repositioning to be accretive to earnings, net interest margin and return on assets in future periods.
