2011: Old Point Finishes the Year Strong


· Net income more than doubles
· Nonperforming assets improved by 46.00%
· Noninterest-bearing deposits grow $34.4 million
· Net interest margin increases to 3.81%


January 31, 2012 Hampton, VA                                                                   Old Point Financial Corporation (NASDAQ "OPOF") posted a profit of $3.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in 2010. The increase in net income was due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses, from $8.8 million in 2010 to $3.7 million in 2011. Decreases in loans and in nonperforming assets between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 allowed management to reduce the provision.

On December 31, 2011, nonperforming assets were 46.00% lower than nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2010, due to a 59.41% decline in nonaccrual loans over the same time period. Nonaccrual loans totaling $13.4 million were sold without recourse in the second and third quarters of 2011. Although net loans charged off in 2011 totaled $8.4 million, $6.2 million was due to six loans. The majority of the $8.4 million was included in the 2010 provision for loan losses when management realized that these losses were probable.

The net interest margin for 2011 was 3.81%, an 18 basis-point improvement over the 3.63% net interest margin for 2010. The net interest margin continued to improve as higher-cost time deposits repriced to current, lower market rates. In addition, management focused on increasing lower-cost funds and promoting relationship management in the retail and corporate banking areas.

 
 

 

In 2011, noninterest income was down $446 thousand or 3.53% when compared to 2010. Overdraft fee income was $513 thousand lower in 2011 than in 2010, due to changes in Regulation E that went into effect during the third quarter of 2010. The changes require advance authorization from customers for overdrafts caused by debit card and ATM transactions. The Company has made an effort to educate customers on the benefits of its overdraft programs, and as a result, overdraft fee income for the second half of 2011 was up $60 thousand from the same period in 2010. Despite this trend, the Company expects continued uncertainty regarding overdraft fee income. To compensate, the Company is developing and marketing other income-producing products, such as remote deposit capture and lockbox services, to help drive future noninterest income. As a result of this emphasis, income from merchant processing and debit cards has grown $248 thousand, or 13.71%, between 2010 and 2011.

The Company’s noninterest expense increased $625 thousand or 1.89% between 2010 and 2011.  This increase was due to an $843 thousand growth in salaries and benefits, as several higher-paid positions were filled in the second half of 2010 and in 2011. Many of these newly-hired employees are in the Company’s private banking and corporate lending areas and were hired to increase small business lending, treasury services, and lending in areas other than commercial real estate as part of management’s focus on increasing loans and noninterest income.

The increase in salaries and benefits was partially offset by decreases in other areas, particularly advertising, legal and audit expenses, and FDIC insurance expense.  The Company has reduced advertising expenses as part of its effort to control noninterest expenses, and has focused on earned publicity rather than paid advertising. Legal and audit expenses decreased as the Company’s nonperforming assets decreased during the year. Finally, the reduction in FDIC insurance expense was due to changes in the method for calculating this expense which were effective April 1, 2011.

Assets as of December 31, 2011 were $849.5 million, a decrease of $37.3 million, or 4.21%, compared to assets as of December 31, 2010, largely due to the current loan environment. As quality loan demand decreased in recent years, management invested excess funds in securities that can be readily liquidated when loan demand recovers. Management also placed an increased emphasis on improving the Company’s net interest margin by reducing dependence on higher-cost sources of funding. As a result, the Company’s higher-cost time deposits decreased by $29.9 million.

 
 

 

Term repurchase agreements also decreased, partially due to the exiting of certain high-cost, non-relationship accounts and partially due to an internal restructuring of the accounts of a single large customer from repurchase agreements to noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Because the FDIC recently modified how deposit insurance premiums are calculated, making noninterest-bearing deposits fully insured, the Company was able to make this change and free up securities that were used as collateral for the repurchase agreements.

In addition to improving the Company’s net interest margin, Old Point has focused on building relationships. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $34.4 million. A portion of this growth was due to the sale of high-quality treasury services. Customers pay for these services either with compensating balances or with fees which flow to noninterest income. As seen on both the balance sheet and the income statement, these efforts are working. The liability side of the balance sheet has shifted from higher cost non-relationship funds to lower cost, service providing accounts.

In 2011, Old Point participated in a number of community initiatives and events, including the 50th Anniversary of Christopher Newport University, the Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast’s Samoa Soiree, the American Red Cross’ Dress Down Under, the Norfolk Kiwanis’ Harbor Party, the James City/Bruton Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry, the Chesapeake Wine Festival, and the Old Point National Bank Monster Mile held in conjunction with the Blue Moon Wicked 10K.
