To Our Shareholders

We are extremely pleased to report to you on the activities and successes of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. and 
our principal subsidiary, EagleBank, during 2017. In our 20th year of operation, we continued our trend 
of record growth of operating earnings, while increasing our asset size and strengthening our capital 
position. For 2017, we reported record operating earnings of $114.8 million, an 18% increase over the 
prior year. Our consistent disciplined performance has produced 9 years, or 36 consecutive quarters, 
of record, increasing operating earnings, dating back to the recession period of 2009. We are proud of 
not only the growth but also the quality of our earnings, as we remain among the most profitable banks 
in the country as measured by Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2017:

— Net operating income of $114.8 million

— $7.5 billion in assets at year end

— Loan portfolio growth of $734 million during the year

— Maintenance of excellent credit quality: Net charge-offs for the year were only 0.06% of average loans

— Capital levels significantly in excess of requirements to be Well Capitalized

— Market capitalization of approximately $2 billion at year end

We have referred to operating earnings for the year because they reflect our underlying, fundamental 
performance. GAAP earnings for the full year of 2017 were $100.2 million. Operating earnings exclude 
one-time charges to adjust the carrying value of deferred tax assets as a result of the reduction of 
corporate tax rates in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Like many other companies impacted by the 
tax reform, Eagle Bancorp reported a one-time reduction in the value of an asset and in capital, but 
expects to see improved profitability going forward due to the lower corporate tax rate.

The increased earnings for 2017 were attributable to top-line revenue growth along with improved 
operating leverage and continued strong credit quality. By the end of 2017 our loan portfolio had 
reached $6.4 billion. Our loan generation efforts, along with our continued and historic underwriting 
discipline, allowed us to generate $734 million of loan growth in 2017, while nonperforming loans 
were only 0.21% of average loans for the year. Operating leverage was improved, as revenue for 2017 
increased 10% over 2016 while noninterest expenses grew only 3%.

EagleBank is known in the Washington metropolitan area for its acumen in business and real estate 
lending. Our superior service and consistent approach to lending are the key components in our 
ability to generate high-quality loans while maintaining acceptable, risk-appropriate yields on the loan 
portfolio and a favorable net interest margin. During 2017, we introduced a significant addition in our 
ability to generate noninterest income through the securitization and sale of multifamily CRE loans. In 
April, our FHA lending group received approval as a GNMA issuer. We are now one of only 13 banks 
in the country to have this distinction. This business line represents a great opportunity for additional 
noninterest revenue in 2018 and beyond.

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. 2017 Annual Report          1

The efficiency ratio was very favorable, at 37.8% for 2017. While expense control was clearly a contributor 
to the improved efficiency, we continue to prudently invest in appropriate infrastructure. We are 
optimizing the branch system and other occupancy costs. Simultaneously, we are improving the 
capability and security of our IT systems, selectively hiring qualified bankers and enhancing training 
and development programs for our existing staff.

Eagle Bancorp continues its commitment to developing and maintaining strong Board and governance 
resources at both the holding company and bank levels. We feel it is important to utilize Board 
Committees and adopt strong risk management and governance policies and practices. We also 
recognize the need for a diverse Board, whose members have varied skills and backgrounds. In that 
regard, the Board has taken several actions over the last few years.

In December 2016 the Eagle Bancorp Board created the position of Lead Independent Director and 
Lee Weinstein was elected to that role. The breadth and diversity of the Boards were enhanced through 
adding several new Board members. In January 2017, Ms. Leslie Ludwig was elected to the Board of 
EagleBank. In October 2017, Ms. Susan Riel was elected to the Board of both EagleBank and Eagle 
Bancorp. More recently, in February 2018, Ms. Kathy Raffa, CPA, who had served on the EagleBank 
Board since 2015, was elected to the Board of Eagle Bancorp as well. In March 2018, Mr. Norman 
Pozez was elected as Vice Chairman of the Board of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. Each of these individuals has 
unique talents that add value in their new roles as Board members.

During 2017, EagleBank maintained its position as the largest community bank in the Washington 
metropolitan area, as measured by deposits. We are in a unique position because we have only 3% 
market share in this dynamic market. The Washington region has a population of over 6 million and, due 
to our economic base and employment levels, it has the fifth-largest regional economy in the US. While 
the federal government continues to be a source of stability, the growth of the region is being driven 
by the private sector, which created over 50,000 net new jobs last year. EagleBank is proud that our 
financing of local businesses and real estate projects has contributed to employment and economic 
growth in the Washington area. We know that being an active lender is a key part of our commitment to 
the community.

We are also proud to note that during 2017 EagleBank was recognized as the #3 Corporate 
Philanthropist in the region. The primary channel for our contributions has been through the EagleBank 
Foundation, which has raised over $3.5 million since its inception in 2005. Recently the foundation 
provided support for the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Services 
“Mammovan,” and has given ongoing support to five other local hospitals, for their projects dedicated 
to putting an end to breast cancer. The bank and its employees also support dozens of smaller local 
organizations throughout the Washington area.

We would like to thank all of the directors, officers, and employees of EagleBank and Eagle Bancorp 
for their contributions to our development and growth. We also wish to express our gratitude to our 
customers, shareholders, and partners in the community. We appreciate the role each of you plays 
in the success of EagleBank, during our first twenty years ... and our next twenty years.

Here’s to our first 20 years.

An anniversary ending in zero 
makes us pause to reflect.  
Then keep going.

Twenty years. Hard to believe it’s been that long—
but we have a 20-year record of consistently strong 
performance, through up and down markets, to prove it.

Yes, a lot has changed since 1998. Technology, of 
course. Social media. And the blossoming of the unified 
“live/work/play” outlook that has transformed the 
landscape. From Adams Morgan to Tysons Corner, from 
Logan Circle to Bethesda, a new vibrancy has taken 
hold. More and more neighborhoods around DC are 
feeling more and more like NYC—in a very good way.

No longer is Washington simply a government town (if it 
ever was). The new business action is in private-sector 
services: IT, healthcare, hospitality, education. And 
EagleBank has helped businesses across the region 
be part of this transformation. Businesses large and 
small—because, unlike some banks, we know that a 
$100,000 loan is just as important as one for $50 million. 
And we’ve seen that the first can lead to the second over 
time. That’s one reason that, while other area banks have 
fallen by the wayside, EagleBank has stepped up to a 
new level.

Case in point: We are now the Official Bank of D.C. 
United, and this summer we’ll debut our EagleBank 
Club at Audi Field—a highly visible sign of our increased 
financial capabilities. Another recent example is a 
multimillion-dollar loan to ViON, a Herndon, VA–based 
provider of cloud services and IT infrastructure solutions. 
We are thrilled to be able to do even more to help grow 
our community.

That brings us to the things that haven’t changed in 20 
years. And never will.

We established EagleBank with one purpose: to serve 
our community—Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia—
and that remains our exclusive focus. And it starts, as it 
always has, with relationships. By putting relationships 
first, we’ve helped many fellow entrepreneurs in other 
fields write their success stories.

Strong relationships are also of prime importance within 
our own company. As large as EagleBank has grown, 
everyone here still feels like, not a cog in a machine, 
but a member of the team. Each individual is respected, 
merit is rewarded, and doors are open—open to 
honest communication regardless of title, and open to 
professional advancement and personal growth.

So, we celebrate our 20th anniversary with pride. And 
with a renewed passion for what’s next. Because, as 
proud as we are of all that we’ve done yesterday, what’s 
really important is what we can do tomorrow—together.

creative solution that brings value to and appreciation 
from our customer. We enhance the relationship with 
empowered, “Yes, We Can” service and live up to our

sense, relationships do. Being entrepreneurial—it is 
our differentiator.

is based on partnership, mutual respect, and a desire 
to delight. We are unwavering in our commitment to the 
goals and growth of our customers, colleagues, and

the little extras and staying involved with our customer 
demonstrates our difference.

Responsive
We shape our relationships by taking ownership for 
being ever-responsive, from beginning to end, day in and 
day out. We understand that reliable, accurate, and time-
sensitive communication is fundamental to preserving 
reputation and relationships, internally and externally.

Strong
We strengthen our relationships each time we are 
called upon for our expertise and know-how. We are 
committed to enhancing our professional knowledge in 
order to remain credible, current, and strong partners 
with our customers, colleagues, and community. Our 
history of sustaining a well-capitalized and profitable 
position emphasizes our strength and reinforces

our actions and words.

 Richard Kline, Vice President
 White House Nannies, Inc.

“ I started my business soon after EagleBank opened, and I’ve 
always credited EagleBank with a large part of our success. 
When I graduated from college, one of my father’s gems of 
advice was, ‘Get to know your banker and his boss, and do not 
let them forget you.’ Well, that was my intention, but the folks 
at EagleBank always beat me to the punch. There’s a genuine 
feeling that the EagleBank staff, at every level, wants us to 
succeed. That’s not always the case in banking relationships. 
EagleBank’s flexibility in structure and imagination makes them 
invaluable as a partner. They have earned my business for life.”
 Doug Monsein, Founder
 Douglas Construction Group, LLC

“ Our companies both started in 1998. As we grew, the 
relationship grew from deposits to include lending and cash 
management. As a real estate development company, we 
were impressed with EagleBank’s deep knowledge of the 
local real estate market—especially land development. And 
their creativity matches our own. EagleBank excels at all the 
traditional banking services. But it’s their focus on relationships, 
on customer service and satisfaction, that really makes 
them special.”
 Lois Fried, Managing Partner
 Urban Atlantic Development, LLC

“ When I started there in 2006, Hager Sharp already had a 
relationship with EagleBank, because the founder, Susan 
Hager, was a longtime DC resident who wanted a local banking 
partner. Thinking about succession planning, Susan chose to 
give her company to the employees. EagleBank’s leveraged 
ESOP terms were by far the best, and that transformation 
made us the company we are today. And the relationship with 
EagleBank has remained strong. EagleBank has a local feel, 
and provides a level of service you don’t get with a lot of banks.”

On a mobile mission.

Powered by the EagleBank Foundation, the Mammovan 
brings breast-cancer screening to the underserved.

results are understood and any necessary next steps 
can be arranged. Because with early detection and 
timely treatment, breast cancer has a nearly 100 percent 
survival rate.

And we think 100 percent of women in our community 
should have access to the best chance for beating 
breast cancer. Thanks to the EagleBank Foundation, the 
Mammovan is on the road to provide that access.

One of the most heartening developments we’ve seen 
over our first 20 years is progress in the field of medicine. 
Powerful new technologies are unlocking the secrets 
of many diseases—including breast cancer—enabling 
earlier detection and less invasive treatment, and thus 
better outcomes for more people.

Unfortunately, while disease knows no socioeconomic 
barriers, access to the latest medical tools and 
treatments is still too often limited by demographics. And 
that presents an opportunity to serve the community.

Enter the Mammovan. Through the EagleBank 
Foundation, we are proud to help put the George 
Washington Medical Faculty Associates Mobile 
Mammography Program on wheels.

The Mammovan is on a mobile mission, bringing 
breast-cancer screenings to women in underserved 
neighborhoods across the DC region. It reaches 
women where they live and work, providing life-saving, 
state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology in comfort 
and convenience—and without regard to the patient’s 
ability to pay.

Along with the latest technology, bilingual patient 
navigators are aboard the Mammovan to ensure that

From 20 to 470  
in 20 years.

Celebrating our growing team.

Many people think banking is all about numbers. At 
EagleBank, we know that numbers are important—
including the growing number of our employees, who, 
after all, are the reason for our 20 years of success.

Why do so many people want to work at EagleBank? 
Well, who doesn’t like being part of a success story? 
Beyond that, people appreciate working where each 
individual is respected, and everyone’s contributions 
are valued. As an equal opportunity employer, we know 
that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes this a 
stronger company. That’s been true at EagleBank 
since day one.

Besides working toward the bank’s continued growth, 
our employees know that EagleBank encourages, 
recognizes, and rewards their own professional 
growth, as well. That’s why we set up the EagleBank 

Online Learning Center and our Commercial Banking 
Development and Leadership Essentials programs.

Doing well at work also depends on staying well. Our 
employee-run Wellness Committee coordinates group 
exercise classes, personal training programs, and 
free fitness assessments and functional movement 
screenings. Employees also enjoy access to three 
on-site EagleFit Centers, 9,500+ partner fitness 
locations, and our Soaring to Wellness website.

But it’s not all work and no play. In addition to our 
annual holiday party, we find many other excuses to 
have fun together all year long, from pizza to potlucks, 
from cupcakes to contests, from a bowling party to 
bowls of ice cream. We are a company of people who 
genuinely enjoy each other’s company—a team that 
feels like family. And that adds up to real success.

20 years: the long and the short of it.
Reflections of four employees who’ve been here all along.

“ The time has gone by so quickly it doesn’t feel like 20 years. 
And I’d been in the banking business for nearly 20 years 
before starting with EagleBank.

“ I was taking a break from banking work, when I got a call from 
someone putting together the team for a new community bank. 
My previous banking boss had spoken highly of me—would I 
be interested? I had never worked at a startup, but I thought I’d 
meet the team and see what happened. Next thing you know, I 
was senior operations officer of EagleBank.

“ In those days, we all worked at a long table in a single office, 
with banker’s boxes for our files. I remember the day we 
completed our first loan. We had no vault, so we locked up the 
note in a metal box and put it in a filing cabinet. We were so 
proud of that first note!

“ Our first holiday party was all 20 of us at Ron’s house [CEO 
Ron Paul]. Everyone knew everyone, including their families. 
Now we get together in a hotel ballroom—hundreds of us. The 
larger the bank grows, the harder it is to keep that same family 
feeling. So the harder we try!

“ A lot of other things have changed over the years. Technology 
has made banking so different. Everything is automated, 
computerized, digital—and cybersecurity is now top-of-mind.

“ But our culture is really the same: to work hard to do the best 
we can for each customer. Because banking is all about 
people: those we work with and those we serve. Always 
remembering that—I think that’s the real reason EagleBank has 
been so successful.

“ As a community bank, we still help lots of startups and small 
businesses. But we can now serve the lending needs of most 
any size company. We are a shining star in the industry. But 
there’s more to do, and we will continue to grow and continue 
to be the best bank in this market.

“ Because we have great people—starting with Ron Paul. He’s a 
real Type A: very driven, very demanding, always ready to roll 
up his sleeves and work as hard as anyone. Unlike a lot of Type 
A’s, though, Ron’s not afraid to show his caring side. And that 
sets the tone for everyone here.

“ You know, it’s hard to excel at something you don’t love. At 
EagleBank, we all work hard because we love what we do. 
That’s what keeps me going.

“ I have been fortunate in my career. It has been a great journey.”
Susan Riel
SEVP and Chief Operating Officer

Present at the creation (from left): Linda Lacy, Ron Paul, Susan Riel, Kai Hills, Olga Jean-Claude.

“ The opportunity to be part of the bank’s growth from the very 
beginning has been truly awesome! I have really enjoyed 
building long-term relationships with my clients and colleagues 
over the last 20 years, and hope to continue that well into 
the future.”
Kai Hills
SVP, C&I Commercial Deposit Officer

“ It feels amazing—to have been here when we started in a 
single suite on the fifth floor, to now having 20 branches all 
over the region. It’s a journey I’m honored to be part of. I have 
met people from all walks of life, among my colleagues and 
all the people we assist every day. Building these long-lasting 
relationships, being part of a growing bank that has earned the 
trust and met the needs of its community—it’s been incredible.”
Olga Jean-Claude
Officer, Customer Service Representative, Silver Spring Branch

“ When the bank opened, I never expected to be working here 
20 years later, much less with some of the very same people 
who started EagleBank. Susan Riel has been my mentor. 
She has shown me what works, why we value being flexible, 
what it takes to meet each customer’s needs. I have worked 
at EagleBank longer than anywhere else in my career, and I 
still truly enjoy working with this dedicated team. I’ve made so 
many lifetime memories here.”
