The EagleBank Story

2 0 0 9  A n n uAl   R e p oR t

Loyalty

The relationships we build and the loyalty we 

earn help make EagleBank what it is today. To us, 

loyalty is more than a word. It is a pledge to 

provide quality financial services and successful 

solutions. It is also a dedication to being the 

leading community bank in our market, respected 

for our banking knowledge, business ethics, and 

corporate citizenship.

Community

Banks, to a large degree, are reflections of the 

communities they serve. We realize that 

the economic growth and quality of life within 

these communities have a significant 

impact on our clients’ success as well as our  

own. EagleBank works hand-in-hand with 

customers to meet their banking needs and  

to make our area a better place to live.

Trust

In a challenging financial marketplace, where can 

a business place its trust? In a bank that has 

the resilience and strength, not only to weather 

a financial storm, but to take advantage of the 

opportunities that it presents. Customers trust 

EagleBank’s ability to stand by them through 

growth and change, with the local presence and 

accessibility that is our hallmark.

To Our Shareholders

It is with great pleasure that we can report to you that in 2009, 

consideration by the Board, in December, 2009, we made  

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. had a record-breaking year despite the 

a substantial redemption of $15 million of the TARP preferred 

difficult economic times we are experiencing both locally and 

stock. The approval of this transaction by the Federal Reserve  

nationally. The results included $10.4 million of net income, which 

is another indication of the strength of the Company. In addition, 

was a 40% increase over the prior year, significantly strengthening

due to the Treasury.

position. We ended the year with total capital of $188 million and 

total assets of $1.8 billion. While we have achieved growth and 

profitability in many prior years, 2009 was remarkable for our 

company because all this was accomplished during one of the 

worst and deepest recessions that the US and global economies 

have ever experienced. The year was especially difficult for 

commercial banks and other members of the financial services 

industry. While many analysts feel that the darkest hours for the 

US economy occurred during late 2008, the effects were felt 

throughout 2009. Not only were we dealing with the impact on 

the national and local economy, but also with negative sentiment 

towards financial services firms from a confused public and 

undeserved backlash from Capitol Hill. 

Another item of major focus during the recession has been asset 

quality, and EagleBank was prepared for this. Our traditional 

underwriting standards have resulted in a below average level 

of problem loans, when compared to other commercial banks 

across the country, whether community banks, regional or 

national institutions. In addition, during this time, the Bank 

has taken an active approach to early identification of problem 

loans and an aggressive approach to those loans which have 

become stressed. This strategy has allowed the Bank to achieve 

resolution and collection of many of the problems, rather than 

letting these loans become restructured loans or charge-offs. Net 

charge-offs for the year were a mere 0.42% of average loans. In 

addition, the early and realistic identification of problem loans has

in mid-year, Eagle Bancorp chose to raise $55.2 million through 

a common stock offering in September, 2009. This was a very 

strong endorsement of the Company as the stock was purchased 

by over 60 new institutional investors. Because of the very positive 

response to the oversubscribed offering, the Company was able to 

raise more funds than initially forecast. The amount of the offering 

allowed for the elimination of 50% of the warrants issued to the 

Treasury under the TARP program. After further analysis and 

The Company’s long-term focus on asset quality has also been

some capital gains, while repositioning the portfolio for the current
