2013 Annual Report

Banking is not just a business— 
it’s a relationship. One that’s always 
based on understanding and responding 
to the business needs of our customers.

We established EagleBank in 1998 with that firm belief. So celebrating our 
fifteenth anniversary is about much more than marking a date; it’s about 
making a difference. Doing things that count. Because each customer’s 
success strengthens us all. That’s what community banking is all about.

The wisdom of our approach is reflected in the strength of our numbers 
in 2013. With total assets over $3.7 billion, our stock price performance 
is its best ever. The fourth quarter was our twentieth consecutive quarter 
of increasing net income. And EagleBank ranks number one in deposit 
market share and total deposits among community banks based in 
the Washington Metropolitan Area.

But the real story of our success over our first fifteen years isn’t in the 
numbers on a page. It’s in the page itself: the open-minded, open-ended 
blank page with which we begin every meeting with a customer. Creating 
solutions that make sense for each one, helping that customer along its 
individual path to success.

That has been our passion, and our own path to success, for fifteen years. 
And counting.

To Our 
Shareholders

It’s hard to believe that Eagle Bancorp, Inc. and EagleBank have been serving metropolitan Washington 
for over 15 years. We opened our doors in 1998. It was the year Titanic won Best Picture, Tara Lapinski 
took gold in Nagano, and the Yankees swept the Padres. The world said hello to a startup named Google 
and goodbye to an icon named Frank Sinatra. The iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad were all still to come. 
And it was the year EagleBank commenced serving our customers, with a goal of returning personalized, 
community banking to our region.

Fast forward to today. EagleBank is metropolitan Washington’s premier community bank. We lead the area 
community banks in loan growth; you’ll see our signs throughout the region. We hold more deposits than any 
other community bank in the area. We are recognized as a go-to bank—for deposits, for loans and for safety 
and soundness. EagleBank is large enough to meet customer needs while remaining small enough and 
nimble enough to satisfy customer needs.

Go to a national or regional bank and they’ll point to their array of products and say pick the one you want, 
but only if it is on the shelf. We meet with you with a blank piece of paper and ask, “How can we help?” That 
attitude, that flexibility is what drives our growth.

There were a dozen or so of us who comprised the initial staff of EagleBank. (Six are still with us!) Today, we are 
almost 400 strong, and we do mean strong.

Our only merger has been with Fidelity & Trust Bank, in 2008. What a combination it has been. We were nearly 
$1.4 Billion in assets when we closed the merger. At year-end 2013, we were over $3.7 Billion in assets. And all 
of that growth has been organic, profitable growth. We did it the old fashioned way. We earned it.

2013 was, in many ways, one of milestone achievements and record performance for Eagle Bancorp, Inc.:

  Our assets ended 2013 at over $3.7 Billion

  Our net income reached $47 Million, reflecting 20 consecutive quarters of record earnings

  Our loans increased by 18%, to $2.9 Billion

  Our deposits were up 11%, to $3.2 Billion

  Our asset quality remains solid, with a coverage ratio of Reserves to Non-Performing Loans of 166%

  Our common stock price increased by 69%, and we issued a 10% stock dividend

  We opened our 18th branch in Old Town Alexandria, VA, as we celebrated our 15th Anniversary

While we hold more deposits than any other metropolitan Washington community bank, our share of the 
deposit market is only 1.87%. In 2010, we had 1.14% of the market; that’s an increase of 73 basis points—
and $1.3 Billion—in just three years. EagleBank has tremendous potential to continue to grow…in one of 
the country’s strongest regional economies. However, as we have mentioned in previous years’ letters, the 
Company is more concerned with consistent growth in profitability than with the size of its balance sheet. 
Eagle Bancorp had a 1.37% Return on Average Assets in 2013  and a 14.60% Return on Average Common 
Equity. Accordingly, we are again the most profitable bank headquartered in Maryland.

The steadily rising net income—five consecutive years of increased, record-level earnings—is the result of 
successful performance across many indicators compared to national and local bank peers: an increase in 
earning assets, a superior Net Interest Margin, continued strong credit quality metrics and more effective 
expense management. The favorable Net Interest Margin was maintained through our disciplined approach  
to loan and deposit pricing.

Asset quality—already strong—improved during 2013 to an even stronger position. We identify potential 
problems early, and then we address them aggressively.

The Efficiency Ratio, the measure of non-interest expenses to total revenue, again improved, and compares 
favorably to peer banks. It takes less than fifty cents to generate a dollar of revenue. This accomplishment 
resulted from attentive management of operating expenses combined with revenue growth. We focus on 
efficiency and productivity, to prudently control expenses while at the same time maintaining the desired 
infrastructure. This allows us to offer the highest level of attention to our customers and the community, 
through qualified, motivated employees. In addition, we are proud of the advanced technologies we have 
harnessed to support state-of-the-art products and services.

Our strong capital base is another key factor in our ability to continue to grow EagleBank. Your Board 
of Directors is committed to preserving a sound capital position, as demonstrated by the capital raising 
activities conducted in both 2011 and 2012. During 2013, the Company significantly improved its capital 
position through internally generated capital, with our record profitability contributing retained earnings at a 
faster pace than our asset growth. All of our capital ratios are considerably above the levels necessary to be 
considered “well capitalized.”

The consistent, balanced performance of the Company has been well received by the financial community, 
including respected analysts and industry publications. We were ranked among the Top-30 community 
banks in the US in 2013, for the second consecutive year. The stock price increase of 69% during 2013 again 
outperformed industry and broader-market indices, as has been the case for the last three years and the last 
five years. The 10% stock dividend was well received by the market, as our shares are more liquid.

During 2013, EagleBank furthered its strategic expansion into Northern Virginia. We continued to recruit 
high-quality commercial and real estate lenders with feet-on-the-ground experience. We are now the only 
community bank with a major presence in Suburban Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. We maintain 
our emphasis on building relationships … on developing as well as strengthening customer bonds, throughout 
the region.

Our differentiator: This is our hometown. Our decision makers are right here; headquarters is not in some 
far-away city. Metropolitan Washington is our only market. And we know it inside and out.

EagleBank is proud, too, to play an active, vocal role in the community. Our directors, senior management and 
officers hold leadership roles in local business and charitable organizations. We continue to work closely with 
our elected officials at both the local and federal levels to foster government programs supportive of small 
business and our customer base. Both the Bank and the EagleBank Foundation consistently provide support 
to those in need in our community.

2013 marked our fifteenth anniversary, a milestone. From our initial three branches in one county, we now 
serve metropolitan Washington through 18 branches and three regional offices. In 1998, no one knew from 
online or mobile banking. Today, we—and our customers—take it for granted. We are excited about all 
that we have accomplished and what we will continue to do as the premier community bank in metropolitan 
Washington. In fact, we believe the best is yet to come.

To all of our shareholders, directors, employees, and customers—and the community at large—thank you  
for your support of EagleBank. Fifteen years. And counting.

Sincerely,

Ronald D. Paul 
Chairman of the Board, 
President & Chief Executive Officer

Robert P. Pincus 
Vice Chairman

We provided an 
$8.6 million line 
of credit that 
enabled the 
firm not only 
to keep going, 
but to continue 
growing.

There when 
it counts.

When a small business needs help most, 
a community bank has the most to offer— 
enabling fellow entrepreneurs to survive and thrive.

Cidalia Luis-Akbar and Natalia Luis had guided M. Luis Construction through 
the recession. But then the sisters’ troubles began.

The Maryland-based road construction company their parents started in 1985 
had achieved great success. Looking to build on that success, in late 2010 the 
sisters invested millions in an asphalt manufacturing plant in Rockville, MD. In 
February 2011, a fire destroyed the company’s central operations hub, a loss 
worth several million dollars.

Then the rains came.

Over several months, record-setting rainfall throughout the region washed 
out construction schedules, greatly reducing M. Luis Construction’s revenues. 
As a result, the company’s relationship with a national bank ended—the bank 
that had been M. Luis’s lender of choice for over twenty-five years.

That’s when we learned about the sisters’ predicament from a mutual friend. 
(At EagleBank, we’re all about relationships.) As entrepreneurs ourselves, we 
understand that all small-business owners face challenges. From time to time, 
unforeseen events will demand unconventional thinking and unusual flexibility. 
That’s par for the course.

We also understand that, for small-business owners, timely access to money 
is what keeps the lights on.

We met with the Luis sisters and recognized them as fellow entrepreneurs—
passionate, capable, energetic people running a successful family business. 
People who had just hit a rough spot and needed a hand.

So we were happy to do for M. Luis Construction what its national bank 
wouldn’t: We provided an $8.6 million line of credit that enabled the firm not 
only to keep going, but to continue growing.

Others took notice. Last fall, President Obama invited the Luis sisters to the 
White House for an event celebrating the contributions small businesses make 
to the economy by creating jobs, improving infrastructure, and strengthening 
communities. The following month, the President visited M. Luis Construction’s 
Rockville facilities for another day of celebrating small-business success.

Stories like that of the Luis sisters and M. Luis Construction are ones we 
never tire of hearing—or being a part of. Because we believe in the power 
and passion of entrepreneurs, and the difference only a community bank like 
EagleBank can make in their success.

Growing 
by knowing.

to achieve steady growth over the long term, 
a community bank’s greatest asset is knowing 
the area and the people it serves.

“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” And a community bank that’s 
closer to the people can be bigger and more capable than one imagines.

Just ask Gary Rappaport. The retail real estate firm he founded thirty years 
ago, The Rappaport Companies, has grown into one of the largest owners 
and managers of shopping centers in the Mid-Atlantic.

That kind of growth, in that business, takes big financing. So, even though  
we’d known Gary for decades, we realized he probably thought his business 
had outgrown the capabilities of a local bank like ours.

Then, a few years ago, he called us. He owned an older shopping center in 
serious need of redevelopment in order to reposition it to be more productive. 
But the place was so—let’s say “challenging”—that none of his usual big-
name bankers would consider refinancing it.

But we would. Because we know the Greater Washington market. We know 
where and when it makes sense to invest, and we could see beyond the 
shopping center’s problems to its potential. And we know Gary. So we sat 
down with Gary and a blank sheet of paper.

“EagleBank works with people, not numbers on paper,” Gary said later.  
“They understood our vision and wanted to help us achieve it.”

Together, we came up with a creative approach to his refinancing situation—
one that involved dollar amounts that Gary had thought were beyond us.

And suddenly, by enabling him to realize his plans for that center, Gary saw 
our community bank in a new light. First, we had shown that we’d grown big 
enough to do big deals just like the national and regional banks could do.

Second, and more important, we had proven that we could do deals the big 
banks wouldn’t do. Precisely because we’re a community bank—with intimate 
local knowledge and banking expertise, combined with an entrepreneur’s 
agility and a belief in our borrower. Which are the very qualities that have fueled 
our steady growth these last fifteen years.

“I work with many banks, both large and small,” Gary says, “and I can tell you 
that there is no better bank than EagleBank.”

The business of 
community health care.

DC

to EagleBank, serving the community is 
much more than volunteering or donating. 
it’s an integral part of the business plan.

One of the pleasures of being a community bank is knowing that our success 
results from helping other local businesses succeed.

When we can help a nonprofit organization whose business is helping members 
of the community directly, the satisfaction is even greater.

That’s why we are especially proud of our relationship with Whitman-Walker 
Health, an internationally recognized provider of health care to the DC-area gay, 
lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and broader communities, as well as those living 
with HIV. Established in 1978, Whitman-Walker Health has provided culturally 
competent, quality care for thousands, especially those who face barriers to 
health care access.

As a nonprofit, the organization then known as Whitman-Walker Clinic focused 
on caring for its patients—many of whom were losing their battle with AIDS—
leaving its financials in a less healthy state. While doing so much good, the 
organization had made some business decisions that in 2008 threatened 
its survival.

Of course, the deteriorating economy in that year didn’t help. Corporate and 
private donations began to dry up just as Whitman-Walker Health faced long-
term debt repayments in the millions of dollars.

In need of a major infusion of capital, Whitman-Walker Health appealed to one 
of the nation’s big banks with which it had a long-standing relationship. The bank 
declined to even consider the loan request.

A friend put us in touch with people at Whitman-Walker Health and we did what 
we always do: We sat down with them over a blank sheet of paper and asked, 
“How can we help?” Upon hearing the compassion and commitment to the 
community, we secured our relationship.

We not only took care of the organization’s pressing need for cash; we also 
offered advice on its whole financial situation. We helped Whitman-Walker 
Health out of its immediate difficulties and set up a line of credit that continues 
to sustain its crucial services. And our expert advice is ongoing as well.

A recent example: Whitman-Walker Health, now on firm financial ground, was 
looking to expand its operations into a new building in downtown DC. It so 
happened that one of our developer clients was constructing a building (for 
which we had provided the financing) and was looking for tenants. We put 
together a deal and helped two clients with a single transaction.

When you’re headquartered in the community—when you’re really involved 
in the community as a daily part of your business—good things happen.

We not only 
took care of the 
organization’s 
pressing need 
for cash; we 
also offered 
advice on its 
whole financial 
situation.

Making a difference 
in the community.

From elementary school to high school, inside the classroom and out, the people 
of EagleBank are committed to helping students in the Greater Washington area.

One of the most important ways we really put the 
“community” in community bank is by helping students 
in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

EverFi Program EagleBank partnered with EverFi, Inc., 
to bring a fun, web-based program that teaches critical 
financial skills to students at three Washington, DC 
high schools. The EverFi Financial Literacy course uses 
the latest in new-media technology to bring complex 
financial concepts to life. The program helps students 
become better-informed, more responsible citizens.

Teaching Financial Skills EagleBank’s Merrifield office 
established a partnership with Lemon Road Elementary 
School in Falls Church, Virginia. EagleBank volunteers 
devote lunch hours to scheduled mentoring sessions 
with individual students, and also developed a financial 
literacy program for the classroom.

Teacher for a Day EagleBank’s Treasurer spent a day in 
April sharing some first-hand banking knowledge with 
a group of very bright second-graders. The students 
at Bannockburn Elementary School in Bethesda, 
Maryland, joined in an interesting discussion on some 
of the basic principles of banking and finance.

Back to School for All In August, EagleBank employees 
donated school supplies for families in need. Children’s 
Program Director Emma Kupferman of the District 
Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH) coordinated the 
campaign. DASH provides housing opportunities and 
support services for homeless families in Montgomery 
County, Maryland.

Summer Reading Party EagleBank’s Helping Hands 
Volunteer group joined the Arlington Partnership for 
Affordable Housing again this year for a Kids’ Summer 
Reading Party. Naren Aryal, co-founder and CEO 
of Mascot Books in Herndon, Virginia, arranged a 
generous donation of children’s books. Our volunteers 
enjoyed collecting and sharing books with the young 
residents of Columbia Grove Apartments. Even more 
fun was playing, reading, and interacting with the kids.

Annual Scholarship In cooperation with the 
Montgomery College Foundation, EagleBank once 
again awarded an annual scholarship to a student 
pursuing financial studies at Montgomery College, 
who will then move on to complete a degree at the Smith 
Business School at the Universities at Shady Grove. 
Congratulations to the 2013 winner, Neha Thanki.

“ We are thankful to everyone for 
their continued support of our 
efforts to save more lives and help 
with the fight against this disease.”

Ninth Annual EagleBank Foundation Golf Classic.

On October 14, 2013, the ninth annual EagleBank Foundation Fight against 
Breast Cancer Golf Classic at the trump national Golf Club raised over 
$300,000. Proceeds from this event continue to support research and 
outreach programs through foundation partnerships with local hospitals 
and other organizations.

Since the first golf tournament in 2005, the Foundation has raised over 
$1,650,000 to assist these organizations in their fight against breast cancer. 
in addition to providing vital support services, these funds enable ongoing 
research aimed at putting an end to breast cancer.

“Our golf tournament is  another one of the ways that we give back to our 
community,” said EagleBank Chairman and CEO Ron Paul. “We are thankful  
to everyone for their continued support of our efforts to save more lives and  
help with the fight against this disease.”

Steadily 
growing 
community.

a few final thoughts on our first 
fifteen years. and our next.

in spite of the rapid pace of technological change, fifteen years is not 
so long a time.

it is, however, just long enough to gauge the soundness of a business 
plan, the wisdom of an operating philosophy. to separate the flush of 
initial enthusiasm from the true passion that sustains long-term growth.

We have achieved fifteen years of steady growth by thinking like 
entrepreneurs. By putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes. By really 
knowing this market and understanding lending at all levels. and by being 
not just located in this community but involved in it, every single day.

Our hope is that we will continue the same steady growth over the next 
fifteen years. Because that will mean we’ve helped more and more local 
businesses succeed.

it will also mean we have maintained the passion and the focus that got 
us this far.
