TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

As we write this letter to you, the American banking system and the global economy are 

undergoing major adjustments and reorganization. Two thousand eight was a year of awakening 

for many. Scores of industries, companies and individuals came to grips with the rapidly slowing 

and de-leveraging economy. The impact of this double-edged sword was caused, in larger part, 

by disruption in the global financial system due to a lack of liquidity in the credit markets and the 

devaluation of the housing market.

We are pleased to report that despite the severe economic environment and the negative media 

attention, 2008 was a year of growth, change and success unparalleled in EagleBank’s history.  

It was a very significant year for us, not only because we continued to grow in the traditional ways 

banks are measured, but also because of the changes we made for the better.

At the end of August, we completed the merger with Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation that 

had been announced in December 2007. This merger increased the size of our customer and 

business base 50% overnight. Thousands of new customers were welcomed to the Bank and to 

our commitment to superior service. Not only did these new clients gain access to EagleBank, 

but with the merger, our existing customers obtained access to our services at six additional 

branch offices. A very exciting facet of the merger is the expansion of our branch presence into 

northern Virginia through the office in Tysons Corner. We also now provide added convenience 

to our customers with the Georgetown office. Additionally, we gained the services of many new 

and valuable employees, officers and directors who share our values and priorities and who have 

enhanced the EagleBank team. And finally, we added a new specialty banking unit, International 

Banking, which specializes in providing services to Embassies and related foreign entities that 

enrich the very unique Washington, DC market.

To continue the growth of the Bank, it is imperative to have a strong capital base. After raising 

capital only twice before the 10-year anniversary of the Bank, we added capital twice in 2008.  

In August, the Company arranged the placement of $12.1 million of privately funded subordinated 

debt. The structure of the transaction is such that the funds are considered Tier 2 capital for all 

regulatory purposes. To ensure that the Company would have sufficient capital levels to support 

future growth, in December, we sold $38.2 million of Preferred Stock to the U.S. Treasury under 

the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Therefore, at year end, the Bank had a very strong capital 

position, and exceeded all standards for a well-capitalized institution.



Even though we felt the impact of the declining economic environment, the Bank achieved 

remarkable financial performance during 2008. Annual profits of $7.4 million were down only  

4% from the $7.7 million earned in 2007, which was extremely favorable compared to almost 

every segment of the banking industry. We continue to find opportunities to make quality loans 

and enjoyed loan growth of 26% during the year, exclusive of the merger. Likewise, we generated 

18% growth in deposits without the merger. At 4.05%, our net interest margin is higher than that 

of our peers. We have been able to maintain this margin despite a general environment which has 

caused the Federal Reserve to reduce short term rates over 400 basis points during the year.  

The Bank has always offered competitive rates on deposit products, but has seen an opportunity 

to improve yields on both commercial and industrial loans, as well as real estate loans, as the 

credit markets evolved during the year.

Preserving asset quality is of primary importance during an economic downturn. We are carefully 

monitoring our loan portfolio and reacting swiftly to any potential problems. As recognition of the 

times, we have increased the allowance for credit losses at year-end to 1.45% of total loans, as 

compared to 1.12% at the end of 2007. The provision for credit losses represents the amount of 

expense charged to current earnings to fund the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for 

credit losses is 72% of non-performing loans, which we believe remains at a very manageable 

level. Net charge-offs as a percentage of total loans were only 0.12% for the year.

These financial statistics reveal the success we achieved in many areas during the year, 

particularly in regard to the merger. We anticipate seeing the full financial impact of the merger in 

2009. Our customer outreach and retention efforts have been successful and well received. We 

took advantage of the best technical capabilities of both companies to provide improved electronic 

banking functionality to all our customers.

Another success for the Bank was the sponsorship of the Inaugural EagleBank Bowl. This 

event, which we committed to in September 2008, along with the EagleBank Foundation Golf 

Tournament, has demonstrated our continued support of our community, our local charities and our 

social commitment to corporate responsibility.

EagleBank is well positioned for 2009. While aware of all the issues presented by the economic 

recession, we are excited by the opportunities presented in the Washington Metropolitan Area, 

one of the strongest demographic markets in our Nation. During these most difficult financial 

times, we especially want to thank all of the 235 members of the EagleBank family, and our 

fellow Directors, who, day in and day out, continue to provide the highest level of professionalism, 

reinforcing the vision and mission that EagleBank has stood for these past 10 years.  

We look forward to another successful year and as always thank you for your support! 

Sincerely,  

Ronald D. Paul 

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer  

Robert P. Pincus 

Vice Chairman

STRENGTH. COMMIT MENT. CONFIDENCE.



STRENGTH. COMMIT MENT. CONFIDENCE.

AT   E A G l E B A N k , strength is a force that radiates from within. It is power that finds its source in relationships 
built on trust. It is respect for the goals of clients and the opinions of colleagues. And it is confidence to expand 
our reach while continuing our commitment to superior service. 

From a position of strength, EagleBank 

community banks resulted in an expanded 

convenient eStatements Service, International 

completed a merger with Fidelity & Trust Bank 

financial services organization with total assets 

Banking, and a Commercial Deposit Services 

in August 2008. More than a merger, it is a 

of approximately $1.5 billion, an increase of 

Division. We also began an exciting expansion

77% over 2007. Total loans grew 77%, while

total deposits increased 79%. 

add the convenience of drive-through banking 

in challenging times. It is also a commitment 

to the relationships that, after a decade of 

service, remain the focus and driving force 

of EagleBank. As one of the area’s largest 

and strongest community banks, the pledge 

we made to our customers, shareholders, 

employees, and community is renewed every 

day. It is a pledge that we will listen to their 

needs and respond. It is a drive to provide 

quality financial services and successful 

solutions. And it is a dedication to improve 

both our community’s economic health and its 

quality of life.

Blending EagleBank’s considerable financial 

resources with those of Fidelity & Trust gave 

us a strong advantage over our competitors 

in terms of both asset quality and profitability. 

Building on our strength, EagleBank continued 

to thrive in a period of instability for many 

other banks. Our net interest margin remained 

high relative to our peers. We increased our 

market share while retaining our values of local 

accessibility and exceptional service. 

With the merger, we expanded our branch 

at our Bethesda Main branch. 

In a year of growth and success, we take 

pride in our increased focus on corporate 

responsibility and our support of charitable 

causes in the community we serve. As the title 

sponsor of the Inaugural EagleBank Bowl,  

a historic event supporting local charities as 

well as the District’s economy, we reaffirm our 

mission of service, both to area residents and 

businesses. It is from strength that we continue 

as leaders in corporate citizenship. And it is 

with confidence that we create shareholder 

network into Northern Virginia, gained two

B U I l D I N G  on a firm foundation, EagleBank strengthened  
relationships and resources.

With the acquisition of Fidelity & Trust Bank, 
we welcomed new customers and employees 
as we combined two strong management 
teams and merged the best practices of both 
institutions. With the combined entity, we 
enhanced our products and services to better 
compete with larger banks in the region, while 
still offering the distinct advantage of access to 
local decision-makers. EagleBank customers 
also benefited from our ability to make loans in 
a year when other banks could not, both in our 
capacity as commercial and real estate lenders 
and in meeting our customers’ personal needs.

Dedicated to combining the best of both banks, 
in 2008, former Fidelity & Trust commercial 
banking experts joined with specialists at 
EagleBank to offer customers with significant 
deposits the benefits of a Commercial Deposit 
Services Division. Our Commercial Deposit 
Services officers are readily available every day 
to offer support, specialized products, and 
custom banking solutions. Recognizing the 
level of service required to make banking 
easier and more rewarding for all customers, 
we added a convenient eStatements Service to 
our online banking options. With this service, 
monthly deposit account statements can be 
viewed electronically. EagleBank also continued 
to expand usage of our remote deposit service, 
as more clients discover the benefits of making 
deposits from their office and having faster 
access to their funds. Not only do customers 
save time with EagleBank’s many online 
services, but increased use of “green” 
electronic banking conserves paper and the 
earth’s resources. 

Introduced in 2008, EagleBank’s International 
Banking Division reflects our desire to build 
new relationships and expand our customer 
base. Designed to meet the needs of 
embassies, their affiliates, and other 
international organizations, this division 
provides the personalized banking assistance 

that the international community expects, while 
also complying with the regulations that govern 
global banking in the United States.

Meeting the banking requirements of all of  
our constituencies while we safeguard their 
financial resources is a constant goal. As 
industry leaders, in 2003, EagleBank was the 
first financial institution in Maryland to 
participate in the CDARS® * Program to give 
customers more insurance options. As CDARS® 
has grown, it uses a sophisticated computer 
network to place customer deposits with other 
FDIC-insured banks. This allows our clients to 
maximize their insurance coverage up to the 
established limit, while still managing all of 
their funds through EagleBank.

Whatever segment of the business community 
we serve, from real estate, health care, retail, 
non-profits, and embassies to law, accounting, 
architecture, and consulting firms, we are 
committed to the thoughtful, steady growth that 
enables us to offer safety, convenience, and a 
full range of financial services.

us to enhance our products 
and services to better compete 
with larger banks in the region, 
while still offering the distinct 
advantage of access to local 
decision-makers.”

their goals, so can the community count on us to help make our 
area a better place to live...”

C O N T R I B U T I N G  to our community’s quality of life is paramount at EagleBank. 

Our commitment to serve the area’s growing 
businesses is mirrored by our dedication to 
serve the well-being of its citizens. We know 
that in building relationships in the community, 
we are also building confidence and trust. Just 
as our customers count on EagleBank to help 
them achieve their goals, so can the community 
count on us to help make our area a better 
place to live.

In 2008, EagleBank became the title sponsor 
and official bank of the Inaugural EagleBank 
Bowl. Our leadership in this endeavor 
demonstrates our focus on corporate 
citizenship, our financial strength, and our 
desire to contribute to the vitality of the 
Nation’s Capital. Committed to honor those 
who serve our country, the event seeks to 
always include a team from the U.S. military 
academies against an opponent from the ACC*. 
Held at RFK Stadium on December 20, 2008, 
the EagleBank Bowl between the U.S. Naval 
Academy and Wake Forest University was 
attended by nearly 30,000 people. This historic 
event is the first time that the NCAA** 
participated in a post-season bowl game in 
Washington, D.C. The EagleBank Bowl 
supports the Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation 
as well as other local charities such as Positive 
Choices, a D.C. based non-profit organization 
that provides services to inner city youths. In 

addition to its charitable efforts, the EagleBank 
Bowl creates significant economic impact for 
local restaurants, hotels, retailers, and 
entertainment venues.

EagleBank held the fourth EagleBank 
Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf Classic 
on Monday, October 13, 2008 at Woodmont 
County Club in Rockville, Maryland. With the 
support of more than 30 companies and six 
foundations, we exceeded our 2007 total and 
raised over $112,000 to benefit local health 
care facilities’ fight against breast cancer.

The EagleBank Bowl and the EagleBank 
Foundation reflect our commitment to 
corporate citizenship as an integral part of 
community banking. So do the efforts of 
EagleBank employees and directors who 
regularly join customers, neighbors, and friends 
in endeavors like the National Kidney 
Foundation’s Annual Ronald D. Paul Kidney 
Walk. Initiated by EagleBank’s Chairman 
Ronald Paul in 2002 with approximately forty 
walkers, the event grew to 650 participants in 
2008. EagleBank as well as Bank employees 
also devote time and resources to organiza-
tions such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater 
Washington, Muscular Dystrophy Association, 
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Children’s National 
Medical Center, Society for Women’s Health 
Research, and Arts for the Aging.

build relationships is EagleBank’s greatest 
achievement. 

It is a goal that carries us into our next decade 
of service. It is also a promise that we fulfill 
every day at every branch, every office, in every 
meeting, and every time we answer the phone. 

In 2009, we look forward to new opportunities 
for growth as we increase market share and 
build shareholder value. With thirteen branches 
throughout the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan 
area, we seek to strengthen and expand our 
presence in key business districts. Increased 
use of technology enables us to enhance our 
service capabilities, as we streamline 
operations and encourage use of online 
banking products. As always, our support of 
local businesses is complemented by charitable 
efforts in our community.

Even as we continue to grow our assets and 
expand our reach, we will never lose our 
personal, proactive approach. Our ability to 
anticipate and fulfill our customers’ needs 
reflects our proven financial acumen and our 
local market knowledge. Our accessibility to 
key decision-makers including our Chairman, 
Vice-Chairman, and directors, exemplifies our 
focus on full-service relationship banking. 
EagleBank’s dedication to our customers,
