MVB Financial Corp., (OTC Markets GroupOTCQB: MVBF) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  MVB Financial and its subsidiaries – MVB Bank, MVB Insurance, and MVB Mortgage (collectively "MVB") – reported net income of $6.49 million, which included $2.5 million of income from continuing operations.  Year-to-date total net income through the first six months of 2016 is $8.3 million. Results include the impact of the asset sale of MVB Insurance.

At the end of the second quarter, MVB announced the sale of substantially all of the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Insurance, LLC (MVB Insurance), to USI Insurance Services (USI). MVB and MVB Insurance will retain the assets related to, and continue to operate, its title insurance business. The company realized a pre-tax gain of $6.9 million as a result of the transaction.  

"We enjoyed a strong second quarter and are pleased to see year-over year balance sheet growth, independent of the sale of MVB Insurance," said Larry F. Mazza, CEO.

This boost creates a positive trend, giving us tremendous confidence in the rest of the year."
