KILMARNOCK — Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc., parent company of Chesapeake Bank and Chesapeake Wealth Management, reported second-quarter 2022 earnings of $4,063,623.
This represents a 2.4% increase over the second quarter of last year, which also included $660,000 of one-time Paycheck Protection Program charges, making the year-over-year increase on the other 23% excluding these.
Reported earnings per share were $0.861 fully diluted, compared to $0.818 fully diluted for the second quarter of 2021. Total assets ended the quarter at $1,342,049,192.

Non-performing assets were at 0.460% as of June 30 versus 0.815% as of June 30, 2021.
