CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Chain Bridge,” “our Company,” and “the Company,” refer to Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiary, Chain Bridge Bank, National Association. The “Bank” and “Chain Bridge Bank, N.A” refer to Chain Bridge Bank, National Association, a nationally chartered bank.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology and expressions. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategies, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements relating to:
• Changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, including the effects of United States federal government spending;
• The level of, or changes in the level of, interest rates and inflation, including the effects on our net interest income and the market value of our investment and loan portfolios;
• The level and composition of our deposits, including our ability to attract and retain, and the seasonality of, client deposits, including those in the IntraFi Cash Service (“ICS®”) network, as well as the amount and timing of deposit outflows through the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and into early 2025;
• The level and composition of our loan portfolio, including our ability to maintain the credit quality of our loan portfolio;
• Current and future business, economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in particular;
• The effects of disruptions or instability in the financial system, including as a result of the failure of a financial institution or other participants in it, or geopolitical instability, including war, terrorist attacks, pandemics and man-made and natural disasters;
• The impact of, and changes, in applicable laws, regulations, regulatory expectations and accounting standards and policies;
• Our likelihood of success in, and the impact of, legal, regulatory or other actions, investigations or proceedings related to our business;
• Adverse publicity or reputational harm to us, our senior officers, directors, employees or clients;
• Our ability to effectively execute our growth plans or other initiatives;
• Changes in demand for our products and services;
• Our levels of, and access to, sources of liquidity and capital;
• The ability to attract and retain essential personnel or changes in our essential personnel;
• Our ability to effectively compete with banks, non-bank financial institutions, and financial technology firms and the effects of competition in the financial services industry on our business;
• The effectiveness of our risk management and internal disclosure controls and procedures;
• Any failure or interruption of our information and technology systems, including any components provided by a third party;
• Our ability to identify and address cybersecurity threats and breaches;

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our prospectus dated October 3, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on October 7, 2024 (the “Prospectus”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. And while we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results or returns and no representation or warranty is made regarding future performance.

Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and is the registered bank holding company for Chain Bridge Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). Both the Company and Bank have their headquarters and sole executive office in McLean, Virginia.
The Bank operates a model that combines electronic banking channels with its physical banking headquarters in McLean, Virginia, allowing it to serve clients nationally.
The Bank provides a wide range of commercial and personal banking services, including deposit accounts, mortgage financing, various loan products, trust administration, wealth management, and asset custody. The core deposit products offered by the Bank include noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, along with savings accounts. The Bank’s lending portfolio is comprised primarily of mortgage-related loans, with the majority being consumer residential mortgages in the Washington, D.C. area. The Bank offers tailored solutions to individuals, families, businesses, non-profit organizations, and political organizations. The term “political organizations” refers to campaign committees, party committees, separate segregated funds (including trade association political action committees (“PACs”) and corporate PACs), non-connected committees (including independent expenditure-only committees (“Super PACs”), committees maintaining separate accounts for direct contributions and independent expenditures (“Hybrid PACs”), and committees other than authorized campaign committees, or those affiliated therewith, maintained or controlled by a candidate or federal officeholder (“Leadership PACs”)), and other tax-exempt 527 organizations.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the notes thereto.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
Reclassification
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
12
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans and held to maturity debt securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.
On September 13, 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”), as amended on September 30, 2024, and declared effective by the SEC on October 3, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). On October 7, 2024, the Company issued 1,850,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value of $0.01 (“Class A Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. On October 7, 2024, the Company completed its IPO and received total net proceeds of $37.1 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and reimbursements for the underwriters’ legal and other out of pocket expenditures. The net proceeds less other related expenses, including audit fees, legal fees, listing fees, and other expenses, totaled $33.6 million.
On October 10, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds to fully repay $10.0 million in short-term borrowings. The Company subsequently closed the line of credit on October 11, 2024.
On November 1, 2024, the Company issued an additional 142,897 shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of the underwriters' exercise of their 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 277,500 shares of its Class A Common Stock. The issuance resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.
In connection with the IPO, on October 3, 2024, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which established two new classes of common stock, the Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and reclassified and converted each outstanding share of the Company’s existing common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Old Common Stock”), into 170 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Reclassification”). The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware also changed the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock from 100,000 to 10,000,000 .
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 26,876 shares of Old Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Reclassification, which was retroactively applied to the financial statements, the Company had no shares of Old Common Stock and Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 4,568,920 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Because the Reclassification was applied retroactively to all periods presented, a share that was previously reported as Old Common stock at $1.00 par value and Additional Paid in Capital, is now reported as 170 shares of Class B Common Stock at $0.01 par value and Additional Paid in Capital. The following table sets forth selected balance sheet components as of September 30, 2024:
•On an unadjusted basis, giving no effect to the Reclassification;
•On an as adjusted basis, giving effect to the Reclassification transactions described above; and
•On an as further adjusted basis after giving effect to (1) the Reclassification, (2) the Company’s receipt of
the net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and other direct expenses of the offering, and (3) the use of a portion of the net proceeds to repay the outstanding principal balance of $10.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank.

Note 3. Securities & Allowance for Securities Credit Losses
The Company invests in a variety of debt securities, principally obligations of the U.S. government and federal agencies, mortgage backed securities, state and municipal agencies, and corporations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all debt securities were classified as held to maturity (“HTM”) or available for sale (“AFS”).
Management considers the appropriateness of the accounting treatment applied to the Company’s debt securities portfolio on an ongoing basis. During a prior year, certain AFS bonds were transferred to the HTM portfolio. Bonds selected for transfer included U.S. government and federal agencies, corporate bonds, and state and municipal bonds. The unrealized loss at the time of transfer is being amortized monthly over the remaining lives of the debt securities with an increase to the carrying value of the debt securities and a decrease to the related accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is included in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.
The following tables summarize the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and allowance for credit losses of AFS and HTM debt securities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

There were no holdings of municipal or corporate debt that equaled or exceeded 10.0% of stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
There were no securities pledged to secure a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Virginia at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Proceeds from calls, maturities, paydowns and sales of debt securities available for sale totaled $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Proceeds from calls, maturities, and paydowns of debt securities held to maturity totaled $5.5 million and $248 thousand for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank sold an AFS bond that was charged off during a prior year for $210 thousand. The proceeds were recorded as a recapture of credit loss. Because this sale did not result in a realized gain or loss on sale of securities, it is excluded from the related tables below.
The proceeds, gross realized gains and losses from sales of debt securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Management classifies bonds as HTM only when the Company has the ability and intent to hold the bond to maturity, and certain sales or transfers of HTM could call into question management’s ability or intent to hold the remaining HTM bond portfolio to maturity, thereby “tainting” the entire portfolio and triggering a reclassification of the entire portfolio to available for sale. However, there are limited situations, including evidence of deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness, in which the Company could sell an HTM bond without tainting the remaining HTM portfolio. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold two HTM bonds from a single issuer due to significant documented deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness evidenced by the downgrading of the issuer’s public credit rating. The sales are included in the tables above. Under these circumstances, the sale did not taint the HTM portfolio.

In the AFS portfolio at September 30, 2024, 46 out of 61 debt securities of the U.S. government and federal agencies, 15 out of 20 mortgage backed securities, 89 out of 108 corporate bonds, and 269 out of 306 state and municipal securities were in an unrealized loss position. All of the Company’s investment portfolio was evaluated under the monitoring process described in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and all investments were deemed investment grade. All of the unrealized losses are attributed to changes in market interest rates, and are not a result of deterioration of creditworthiness among any of the issuers.
Of the total AFS and HTM portfolio at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 792 and 880 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate impairment of 3.8 % and 6.0 %, respectively, of the Company’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses related principally to interest rate movements and not the creditworthiness of the issuer. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its
18
agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Credit loss allowances for the AFS and HTM portfolios are described in the following sections.
Allowance for Credit Losses—AFS Securities
Management evaluates debt securities to determine whether the unrealized loss is due to credit-related factors or non-credit-related factors. This analysis occurs on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the extent to which fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for full recovery of its amortized cost. If the assessment reveals that a credit loss exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, an allowance for the credit loss is recorded. The loss is limited by the amount that the amortized cost exceeds fair value.
As of the reporting date, the Company did not intend to sell any of the AFS debt securities, did not expect to be required to sell these debt securities, and expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of all of the debt securities.
The Company did not record an ACL on the AFS debt securities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has evaluated these debt securities for credit-related impairment at the reporting date and concluded that no impairment existed. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, industry analysts’ reports, and correlations between fair value changes and interest rate changes among instruments that are not credit sensitive. All AFS debt securities were current with no debt securities past due or on non-accrual as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company considers the unrealized losses on the debt securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and is not reflective of deterioration in credit.

At September 30, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities recorded. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank received proceeds totaling $210 thousand for a bond that was fully charged off during 2023, and recorded a recovery of credit loss. The entire ACL recovery during 2024 was recorded in the first quarter.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities recorded. The entire ACL provision recorded for the AFS portfolio during 2023 was recorded in the first quarter and pertained to a holding from a single corporate issuer whose business was ultimately closed by a regulatory authority. The bond, initially classified as HTM, was transferred to the AFS portfolio based on the unlikely collectability of the unsecured bond and significant documented credit deterioration. A portion of the bond was subsequently sold at a loss, and the remaining unsold portion was written off entirely.
Credit Quality Indicators and Allowance for Credit Losses - HTM Securities
The Company evaluates the credit risk of its HTM debt securities on a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on HTM debt securities using an instrument -level process described in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s HTM portfolio are security type, time remaining to maturity, and credit rating. Credit ratings may be influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flows, geography, seniority and others. The HTM portfolio includes debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and agencies of the federal government, and mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies. These types of investments carry implicit or explicit backing of the U.S. Treasury, and therefore are deemed to carry no credit risk for purposes of the ACL evaluation.
