Bank of the James Financial Group Reports First Nine Months 2026 Net Income of $9.34 Million, $2.05 Per Share

LYNCHBURG, Va., Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOTJ), the parent company of Bank of the James (the “Bank”), a full-service commercial and retail bank, and Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. (“PWW”), an SEC-registered investment advisor, today announced unaudited results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026. The Bank serves Region 2000 (the greater Lynchburg metropolitan statistical area) and the Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Nellysford, Roanoke, and Wytheville, Virginia markets.

Third Quarter 2026 and Year-to-Date 2026 Highlights

• Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $3.32 million, an increase of $570,000 from $2.75 million in the third quarter of 2025. Earnings per share were $0.73 compared with $0.61 per share one year earlier. Net income for the first nine months of 2026 was $9.34 million, an increase of $3.04 million from $6.30 million in the first nine months of 2025. Earnings per share were $2.05 compared with $1.39 per share one year earlier. The year-over-year increases reflect higher net interest income and growth in noninterest income.
• Total assets were $1.065 billion at September 30, 2026, compared with $1.039 billion at December 31, 2025, and $1.020 billion at September 30, 2025.
• Net interest income after provision for (recovery of) credit losses increased approximately 18% to $9.69 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $8.21 million in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 11.80% to $27.47 million in the first nine months of 2026 from $24.57 million in the first nine months of 2025. The Company recorded a total provision for credit losses of $35,000 for the third quarter and $239,000 for the first nine months of 2026. The provision for credit losses on loans was $26,000 and $344,000, respectively.
• Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) was 3.81% for the third quarter of 2026 compared with 3.44% for the third quarter of 2025, and 3.70% for the first nine months of 2026 compared with 3.37% for the first nine months of 2025.  
• Interest expense decreased 8.90% to $3.16 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $3.47 million in the third quarter of 2025, and decreased 10.26% to $9.31 million in the first nine months of 2026 from $10.37 million in the first nine months of 2025, reflecting lower deposit costs and, for the nine-month comparison only, the retirement of approximately $10 million in capital notes in the second quarter of 2025.
• Noninterest income increased 0.24% to $4.18 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $4.17 million in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 9.47% to $12.62 million in the first nine months of 2026 from $11.53 million in the first nine months of 2025.
• Noninterest expense increased 5.85% to $9.70 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $9.16 million in the third quarter of 2025, and decreased 0.24% to $28.37 million in the first nine months of 2026 from $28.44 million in the first nine months of 2025.
• Wealth management fees from PWW increased 10.43% to $1.50 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $1.36 million in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 11.90% to $4.38 million in the first nine months of 2026 from $3.92 million in the first nine months of 2025.
• The efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) improved to 69.76% in the third quarter of 2026 from 73.46% in the third quarter of 2025, and to 70.35% in the first nine months of 2026 from 79.45% in the first nine months of 2025.
• Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, were $694.03 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $686.08 million at June 30, 2026, $661.36 million at December 31, 2025, and $653.29 million at September 30, 2025.
• Total deposits were $963.60 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $937.13 million at December 31, 2025, and $919.80 million at September 30, 2025.
• Nonperforming loans were $548,000 at September 30, 2026, down from $1.09 million at June 30, 2026, and from $1.70 million at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses was $6.55 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $6.45 million at December 31, 2025, and represented 1,195.99% coverage of nonperforming loans, compared with 378.52% at December 31, 2025.   The decrease in nonperforming loans was due primarily to the return of selected non-accrual relationships to accrual status.
• Stockholders’ equity decreased to $78.45 million at September 30, 2026, from $80.05 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of 2.00%. Book value per share decreased to $17.27 from $17.62. Retained earnings increased $7.97 million, as year-to-date net income of $9.34 million was partially offset by dividends paid. This was more than offset by a $9.57 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI), net of tax, to $24.51 million from $14.94 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio resulting from the increase in market interest rates since December 31, 2025, particularly during the third quarter.
• On October 27, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share to stockholders of record as of November 20, 2026, to be paid on December 4, 2026.   This is an increase of $0.05 per common share, or 50%, from the dividend declared in July 2026.

Commentary from Executive Management

Robert R. Chapman III, CEO of the Bank, commented: “Bank of the James Financial Group once again produced record quarterly profits during the third quarter, perpetuating the momentum which our corporation has generated thus far during 2026. Our team continues to do an outstanding job of serving our customers, and we appreciate the trust which our clients have placed in our organization.     

“We are also very pleased to announce a 50% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.10 per share to $0.15 per share.   This is a well-deserved enhancement for our many loyal shareholders in appreciation for their participation in the Company’s journey over the past 27 years.”

Mike Syrek, President of the Bank, added: “Bank of the James’ loan portfolio and its deposit portfolio each reached all-time highs during the third quarter. It is especially notable that the net loan portfolio increased by $7.95 million during the quarter despite the repayment of one $10.07 million loan. These milestone achievements are a testament to the hard work of the entire team, not just this year but over the course of many years. We will continue to focus upon building relationships with our clients on both the loan and deposit fronts.”

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PyX Wallets Inc., formerly Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (OTC: GBHL) (“GBHL” or the “Company”), today announced that the transaction under the stock purchase agreement with PYX Wallets Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PYX”), has closed, following the binding letter of intent announced on October 21, 2026. With the closing, PYX holds the Company’s Series B Super Voting Preferred Stock. The change of control will become official upon the Court’s entry of the final order discharging the Company’s custodianship, which remains in process.

Management and Board Changes

In connection with the closing, Ryan Contardi has been appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a director of the Company, and Richard C. Hawkins has resigned as Chief Executive Officer and director. The Company expects to add independent directors as it moves toward SEC reporting status.

Audit and Registration Statement

The Company intends to engage a PCAOB-registered independent auditor to audit two years of financial statements covering both GBHL and PYX’s operating business. Because PYX is the operating business, its financial statements will form the historical financial statements of the combined company. The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to complete the audit and file a registration statement with the SEC within 90 days of the change of control. Filing the registration statement is the first step toward SEC reporting status and an eventual application to list on a national securities exchange.

Name and Symbol Change

The Company has changed its legal name to PyX Wallets Inc. through an amendment to its articles of incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 21, 2026 and effective October 22, 2026. The Company is preparing its submission to FINRA to reflect the new name and to request a new trading symbol. Until FINRA processes the corporate action, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “GBHL.” The Company will provide an update once all documentation has been submitted to FINRA, and will continue to report progress as each step is completed.

“With the transaction closed, our focus turns to the audit and bringing PyX Core and PyX Vault to market,” said Ryan Contardi, Chief Executive Officer of GBHL and PYX Wallets. “Being a public company gives us access to the capital we need for launch, and it holds us to a standard of transparency our customers and shareholders should expect.”

“When the court appointed a custodian, GBHL had been abandoned and had no operations,” said Richard C. Hawkins, former Chief Executive Officer of GBHL. “The goal of the restoration was to hand the company to a team with a real plan. PYX has that, and I wish Ryan and his team every success.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the audit of the Company’s financial statements, the filing of a registration statement, the addition of independent directors, the FINRA processing of the Company’s name change and new trading symbol, the discharge of the custodianship and the completion of the change of control, potential exchange listing, and PYX’s products and business. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions.

These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including: that the audit and registration statement may not be completed within the contemplated time frame or at all; that the Court may not enter the final discharge order when expected or at all, which would delay or prevent the change of control from becoming official; that FINRA may not approve or may delay the name change and new symbol; that PYX’s products may be delayed, cost more than expected or not launch, and that their design and features may change; that PYX may face competition from established wallet and crypto-wallet makers; that digital-asset features may be affected by changing laws and regulations; that additional funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; that securities remain subject to applicable former-shell-company resale restrictions under Rule 144(i); that exchange listing standards may not be met; and that legacy indebtedness and future financing may substantially dilute common stockholders. The super-voting preferred stock concentrates voting control in PYX even if PYX’s common equity ownership is diluted.

The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not available to the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement except as required by law.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
