Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Oak Valley Bancorp names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 25, 2026: 45 risks under these headings, as written.3
- Risks Related to Our Business
- Our business strategy includes sustainable growth plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively.
- Our financial condition and results of operations are dependent on the economy, particularly in the Bank’s market areas.
- We cannot accurately predict the possibility of weakness in the national or local economy effecting our future operating results.
- Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
- Recent bank failures have created significant market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and decreased confidence in the U.S. banking system.
- The failure to address the federal debt ceiling in a timely manner, downgrades of the U.S. credit rating and uncertain credit and
- financial market conditions may affect the stability of securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government, which may affect the valuation or liquidity of our investment securities portfolio and increase future borrowing costs.
- There are risks associated with our lending activities and our allowance for credit losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb actual incurred losses in our loan portfolio.
- If actual losses on our loans exceed our estimates used to establish our allowance for credit losses, our business, financial condition and profitability may suffer.
- Our underwriting practices may not protect us against losses in our loan portfolio.
- Because our loan portfolio has a large concentration of real estate loans, and commercial real estate loans in particular, negative changes in the economy affecting real estate values and liquidity, or regional and national market conditions, could impair the value of collateral securing our real estate loans and result in loan and other losses.
The other 34 risks
- Our commercial real estate loans involve higher principal amounts than other loans and repayment of these loans may be dependent on factors outside our control or the control of our borrowers.
- Repayment of our commercial and industrial loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may not be sufficient to repay the loan in the event of default.
- We are exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with respect to real properties which we may acquire.
- New lines of business, new products and services, or strategic project initiatives may subject us to additional risks.
- Strong competition within our market areas may limit our growth and profitability.
- Risks Related to Our Operations
- We face significant operational risks.
- Our enterprise risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for losses.
- Managing reputational risk is important to attracting and maintaining customers, investors and employees.
- Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition.
- We currently hold a significant amount of bank owned life insurance.
- We rely on numerous external vendors.
- Our holding company relies on dividends from the Bank for substantially all of its income and the net proceeds of capital raising transactions are currently the primary source of funds for cash dividends to our preferred and common stockholders.
- We may elect or be compelled to seek additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed.
- Climate change manifesting as physical or transition risks could adversely affect our operations, businesses and customers.
- Risks Related to Technology
- Our security measures may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack or cyber theft.
- Our security measures may not protect us from systems failures or interruptions.
- We rely on communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology from third party service providers, and we may suffer an interruption in those systems.
- We are subject to a variety of federal and state privacy and data security laws, which govern the collection, safeguarding, sharing and use of customer information
- Risks Related to Regulations
- We operate in a highly regulated environment and our operations and income may be affected adversely by changes in laws, rules and regulations governing our operations.
- The Dodd-Frank Act and supporting regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.
- The short-term and long-term impact of the changing regulatory capital requirements and new capital rules is uncertain.
- We are subject to federal and state fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to material penalties.
- Non-compliance with the USA Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions or operating restrictions.
- Increases in deposit insurance premiums and special FDIC assessments will negatively impact our earnings.
- Risks Related to Tax and Financial Matters
- The Company has a deferred tax asset that may or may not be fully realized.
- We may experience future goodwill impairment.
- In preparing our financial statements we make certain assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements, which, if not accurate, may significantly impact our financial results.
- General Risks
- We depend on our key employees.
- Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.
- Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our stockholders.
- Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions by activist stockholders.
- If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired and investors’ views of us could be harmed.
- If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish negative reports about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
- The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to sell shares of common stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management evaluates its exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and provides for potential losses on such litigation if the amount of the loss is estimable and the loss is probable.
There are no pending, or to management's knowledge, any threatened, material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, or to which any of the Company’s properties are subject.
