EFSI Merges with John Marshall Bancorp, Loans Up $32.4 Million

Brandon Lorey, President and CEO, stated, "The third quarter was an important one for EFSI, with strong execution across the franchise while we also announced our proposed merger with John Marshall Bancorp. Net loans grew $32.4 million during the quarter, reflecting both strong customer demand and the continued efforts of our lending teams, while our net interest margin improved to 3.95% as the balance sheet actions we have taken over the past two years continued to deliver results. We are entering this combination from a position of strength, and we believe bringing together two strong community banking franchises creates an opportunity to deliver meaningful long-term value for our shareholders. I could not be prouder of our team for staying focused on our customers and communities while also taking on the additional work required to prepare for what is ahead."
