The essenCe of eaGleBank

“Record profits.” “Beating estimates.” “Gains in deposits, assets, loans.” In 2010, EagleBank 

made news as analysts praised our strong growth as “impressive” and even “astounding.” *  

But, at EagleBank, we continue to describe our exceptional growth in one word. “Relationships.” 

As we grow, we never forget our roots or our philosophy. EagleBank is a local, community bank and 

relationships come first. We are proud that 2010 was a year of marking milestones and exceeding 

expectations. Total assets surpassed $2 billion, a 16% increase over 2009, positioning us to greatly 

expand our market share and our ability to serve customers. The Bank achieved eight consecutive 

quarters of increasing, record profits, including a 60% increase over 2009. With these accomplishments, 

we never sacrificed our mission to build relationships in the communities we serve.

EagleBank continues to welcome new customers of all sizes, just as we did when we were founded over 

a dozen years ago. But our growing capital base also enables us to serve even larger customers for both 

loans and deposits. In 2010, we continued to make loans, and attract deposits, when many banks in 

the marketplace could not. Total loans, business loans and commercial real estate loans, all increased. 

EagleBank is a leader in the Washington, DC area. Similarly, more customers turned to EagleBank for 

their deposits, which brought us double-digit growth in 2010. We are passionate about our customers, 

and they know that they can rely on us in both good and difficult times.

In the credit challenges of 2010, EagleBank’s asset and credit quality remained at an excellent level. 

Making new loans does not come at the price of quality; we have maintained the discipline to do  

prudent lending.

As EagleBank continues to expand externally, we also grow internally to ensure the continued level 

of service that our customers expect. Our reputation and growth have allowed us to attract dedicated 

employees from other banks in the area. As with customers, loan officers and other experienced 

professionals at large banks are returning to a community bank like EagleBank. We are also investing 

heavily in the systems that provide increased efficiencies and expanded capabilities, in order to continue 

providing our customers with more solutions, more choices, and the highest level of financial expertise. 

Our growth enables EagleBank to expand the financial services we offer customers. We greatly  

enhanced our Residential Mortgage Lending Division by building a team of highly experienced  

mortgage producers. We entered into a relationship with a respected, local insurance agency to form 

Eagle Insurance Services. We also broadened our scope of services through our strategic alliance with  

a well-regarded investment advisory firm. By adding value to what we offer customers, we solidify  

our relationships with them.

Reflecting our commitment to the markets we serve, EagleBank continues to strengthen our branch 

network. In 2010, we announced plans for three new branch offices – Gallery Place in Washington, DC, 

and in Rosslyn and Ballston in Northern Virginia. We continue to look for new branch locations to better 

serve and increase our customer base, particularly in Northern Virginia. 

As we expand our reach, we also expand our relationships. Building relationships with customers, 

shareholders, employees, and our community is EagleBank’s focus and foundation. It is the essence 

of everything we do, from giving customers access to all of our resources and people, including top 

decision-makers, to mentoring and nurturing employees, to working with neighbors to make our 

community a better place to live. Whether it is EagleBank’s Chairman sharing his expertise on small 

business lending by meeting with the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, 

the Bank’s sponsorship of philanthropic events, or the efforts of individual employees in civic and 

charitable endeavors, we share our resources, knowledge, and time. 

As we continue to grow, EagleBank’s customers count on us to be there for them, from a checking 

account, to the start up of a new business, to an array of financial services. Whether you are a 

shareholder, a prospective customer, or an employee, EagleBank offers what a real banking relationship 

should be.

Business opportunities can develop unexpectedly. But the window of opportunity can close 

quickly. EagleBank gives customers immediate, local access to the decision-makers who  

know the market. We respond quickly and creatively, flexible to the needs of our customers. 

Loan consideration does not take place hundreds of miles from the account officer. It happens 

down the hall. Our local knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit combine to enable us to provide 

unsurpassed responsive, timely service to our customers.

In 2010, we continued to build our teams to be able to meet our customers’ needs and to expand our 

customer base. We strengthened our team of branch managers. We added experienced lenders to 

both our Commercial and Industrial Division and our Commercial Real Estate Division. A particular 

emphasis was in Northern Virginia, as we expand our reach. Adding experienced professionals to our 

Northern Virginia Advisory Board illustrates EagleBank’s commitment to growing our presence in that 

market. Building on our branch in Tysons Corner, Virginia, the new branches in Rosslyn and Ballston 

will support future growth and allow us to be closer to existing and new customers in these vibrant 

communities. 

EagleBank’s goal of increasing our reach in Northern Virginia is complemented by efforts to expand our 

presence in Montgomery County, Maryland and Washington, DC. In Maryland, adding new members 

to our EagleBank Advisory Board allows us to take advantage of their market knowledge as they act 

as liaisons to the community. In Washington, DC, our branch in Gallery Place, across the street from 

the Verizon Center, enables us to provide loan, deposit, cash management, and other valuable financial 

services to a broad spectrum of customers.

Our dedication to offering value to our customers led us to provide an array of new services. The 

expansion of our Residential Mortgage Lending Division and the creation of Eagle Insurance Services 

and the EagleBank Investment Advisory Services Program benefit both customers and the Bank. All 

three lines of business also increase EagleBank’s fee income, which contributes to our growth and has  

a stabilizing effect on our income.

We are well positioned in the Washington, DC area. Never losing sight of what brought us success, we 

continue to provide extraordinary customer service every day. In a world of big banks and revolving 

door employees, we still know our customers by name. At the same time, as a well-capitalized, $2 billion-

plus bank, we now offer the strength to serve more customers of all sizes. Whether we help customers 

start or grow a business, buy a home, or make deposits, pay bills, and easily access their financial 

information online, we offer the familiarity and deftness of a local bank and the financial strength of  

a large bank. 

EagleBank’s record growth in 2010 is a consequence of thoughtful planning, proactive leadership,  

and prudent risk management. It is also a result of the entrepreneurial spirit we share with customers 

and the relationships we build and sustain. Our future success will be based on the same principles of 

relationship continuity and reasoned growth.

At EagleBank, we believe that all banking decisions that affect a community should be  

made in that community. Our dedication to local decision-making is accompanied by our 

commitment to the communities that contribute to our success. As we grow and prosper,  

we consider it a privilege to share our resources, knowledge, and time to make our community 

a better place to live.

Working hand-in-hand with customers, colleagues, neighbors, and friends, EagleBank builds relationships 

as we build the community. Just as EagleBank’s Chairman shares his expertise at Senate hearings and 

business seminars, he and other Bank officers take a leadership role in civic organizations throughout 

the Washington metropolitan area. While our area has fared better than many parts of the country, these 

are still challenging times, and EagleBank works hard during and after business hours to promote our 

community’s economic growth.

Through corporate sponsorships and the efforts of employees, EagleBank supports numerous charitable 

causes and philanthropic events. On October 2, 2010, EagleBank employees once again bonded together 

as a team to participate in the annual Ronald D. Paul Companies Kidney Walk. Co-sponsored by the 

National Kidney Foundation, the event raised over $200,000 to benefit kidney disease treatment, 

research, and education. 

We are especially proud of the Sixth Annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf Classic, held 

at the Woodmont Country Club. EagleBank joined forces with sponsors, customers, and the community 

to raise over $260,000 to benefit local hospitals and organizations in their fight against breast cancer. 

Since the first golf tournament in 2005, the Foundation has raised more than $900,000, by building 

relationships with others dedicated to the cause.

Throughout the year, EagleBank employees can be seen working on a variety of philanthropic endeavors, 

from selling tickets at “Taste of Bethesda,” to participating in a benefit for the Combat Soldiers Recovery 

Fund. In 2010, the Bank formed Eagle Helping Hands. Bank employees work together on specific projects, 

such as Food & Friends, which prepares and delivers meals to people living with HIV/AIDS and other 

life-challenging illnesses. In this way, employees build teamwork as they contribute to the community.

Teaching fiscal knowledge and responsibility at a young age is the goal of the Junior Achievement of 

the National Capital Area (JANCA) and of the EagleBank officers who serve on the Board. By creating 

age-appropriate programs through the public school systems, students in K-12 learn everything from 

managing their allowance to understanding international trade. EagleBank is invested in giving students 

a head start to succeed in a global economy.

Just as EagleBank continually seeks new ways to meet our customers’ banking needs, so do we renew our 

commitment to serve the community. Our focus on being the leading community bank in our market is 

mirrored by our dedication to achieving the highest level of corporate citizenship.

The essenCe of oUr fUTUre sUCCess

As we move forward to fulfill goals for our customers, shareholders, and community, EagleBank is  

ever mindful of what is, and always will be, the essence of our success. Building and expanding 

relationships is our purpose and passion. It is our unwavering focus as we meet with customers at  

their offices, construction sites, clinics, restaurants, and stores. It is our driving force as we devote 

time and resources to fight deadly diseases, feed the needy, and contribute to the community’s  

economic health and quality of life. 

And it is our promise as we strive to continue to exceed expectations, expand opportunities, and  

put relationships first.
