WARRENTON, VA., August 2, 2012 -- Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) parent company of The Fauquier Bank (TFB) reported net income of $79,000 for the second quarter of 2012 compared with $1.14 million for the second quarter of 2011.  Basic and diluted income per share for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.02 compared with income per share of $0.31 in the second quarter 2011.  Net income for the first six months of 2012 was $1.03 million compared with $2.06 million for the same period of 2011.  Basic and diluted income per share for the first six months of 2012 were $0.28 compared with income per share of $0.56 for the first six months of 2011.
 
“Strong core earnings allowed us to provide $2.8 million for loan losses and still report modest profits this quarter,” said Randy K. Ferrell, President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Ferrell continued, “We set aside these loss provisions primarily due to the impairment of two loan relationships.  We believe these two loans are isolated cases in our overall loan portfolio.  Despite the increase to the provision this quarter, our loan quality has remained solid given the depth of the recession.”
 
Return on average assets (ROAA) was 0.05% and return on average equity (ROAE) was 0.65% for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease from 0.77% and 9.99%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, Fauquier Bankshares' return on average assets was 0.35% and return on average equity was 4.30%, compared with 0.70% and 9.19%, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.
 
Net interest margin decreased to 3.95% in the second quarter of 2012 compared with 4.06% for the same period in 2011, but increased from 3.89% in the first quarter 2012.  The decline in margin from the second quarter of 2011 was due primarily to lower interest rates earned on loans.  Net interest income for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $200,000 or 3.6% when compared with the same period in 2011.  The average yield on earning assets declined 25 basis points while cost of funds decreased 15 basis points from the second quarter 2011.  Net interest margin decreased to 3.93% in the first half of 2012 compared with 4.09% for the same period in 2011.  Net interest income for the first six months of 2012 decreased $342,000 or 3.1% when compared with the same period in 2011.
 
Total assets decreased to $582.6 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $599.2 million at June 30, 2011.  Total loans, net increased slightly to $450.2 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $447.8 million at June 30, 2011.  Total deposits were $500.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $518.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Transaction deposits (Demand and NOW accounts) grew $32.5 million to $250.6 million compared with $218.1 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing 50.1% of total deposits.
 
The provisions for loan losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 were $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, compared with $308,000 and $771,000 for the same periods in 2011. The increase was due to the impairment of two commercial real estate loans identified in the second quarter 2012.  Allowance for loan losses was $9.4 million or 2.06% of total loans at June 30, 2012 compared with $6.6 million or 1.46% at June 30, 2011.
 
“Although we are disappointed with this quarter’s profits, we are aggressively addressing the two isolated loan relationships.  The economy continues to move forward ever so slowly and we are positioned to meet our customers lending, wealth management and deposit needs as they develop.” Ferrell said.
 
Net loan charge-offs were $228,000 in the second quarter 2012 compared with $366,000 in the second quarter of 2011.  The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the second quarter of 2012 was 0.05% compared with 0.08% for 2011.  Year to date, net charge-offs for the first six months of 2012 was $579,000, or 0.13% of average loans, compared with $462,000 for the same period in 2011, or 0.10% of average loans.
 
Nonperforming assets increased to $9.5 million, or 1.62% of period end total assets, at June 30, 2012, compared with $6.8 million, or 1.13% of period end total assets, at June 30, 2011.  Included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2012 were $7.4 million of nonperforming loans, $1.8 million of other real estate owned and $292,000 of nonperforming corporate bond investments.  Other real estate owned decreased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $3.5 million at June 30, 2011.
 
Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, increased slightly to $1.60 million in the second quarter 2012 compared with $1.58 million in the same quarter in 2011.  Fauquier Bankshares’ Wealth Management Services division income was $482,000 in the second quarter of 2012 compared with $427,000 at June 30, 2011, an increase of 12.8%.  This solid performance was offset by service charges on deposit accounts which decreased $86,000, or 11.6%, to $653,000 for the second quarter 2012 compared with $739,000 in the second quarter 2011.  A $163,000 gain on sale of securities was recorded in the second quarter 2012.  Noninterest income increased $421,000 to $3.2 million during the first six months of 2012 compared with $2.8 million during the same period in 2011.  The increase was primarily due to $163,000 securities gain in 2012 while during the first six months of 2011 there was $185,000 in other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities recorded.
 
“We have seen demand for our Wealth Management Services progressively increase, resulting in sustained profitability,” Ferrell commented. “This is due to a team of experienced associates and a full array of product offerings that fit the needs of our Wealth Management clientele.  Most sought after services include investment management, financial planning, estate settlement, trustee services, retirement and college savings plans. In addition, our full-service brokerage division offers numerous financial products, including stocks, bonds,  mutual funds, and annuities, as well as 529 college savings plans, IRA’s and SIMPLE’s available for the individual or small business.”
 
Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2012 was $4.3 million, a decrease of $916,000 or 17.4% compared with $5.3 million for the second quarter 2011.  Noninterest expense decreased primarily as a result of the reversal of accrued incentive compensation expense during the second quarter 2012.  In addition, a gain on sale of other real estate owned (OREO) was $6,500 for the second quarter of 2012 compared with a loss of $251,000 for the same quarter in 2011.  Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2012 decreased $936,000 or 9.0% to $9.5 million compared with the same period in 2011.  This decrease was due primarily to the reduction in incentive compensation and recorded OREO gain, as mentioned in the quarterly comparison. Additionally, FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $168,000 for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
 
Shareholders’ equity increased to $47.5 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $46.2 million at June 30, 2011.  The book value of FBSS’s stock was $12.86 per common share as of June 30, 2012.  Fauquier Bankshares' stock price closed at $13.14 per share on August 1, 2012.
 
The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to be deemed "Well Capitalized," the highest category assigned by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.   At June 30, 2012, the Company's leverage ratio was 9.06%, compared with 8.66% one year earlier. The Company's tier 1 and total risk-based ratios were 12.08% and 13.35%, respectively, at June 30, 2012, compared with 11.82% and 13.07% at June 30, 2011. The minimum capital ratios to be considered "Well Capitalized" by the Federal Reserve are 5.00% for the leverage ratio, 6.00% for the tier 1 risk-based ratio, and 10.00% for the total risk-based ratio.
 
“The Company’s capital ratios remain solid and are strengthening.  This marks the sixth consecutive quarter that our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio has increased,” Ferrell stated.  “We continue to exceed regulatory benchmarks for "well-capitalized" and are positioned to serve local businesses and consumers by providing a full banking relationship and helping make their financial life easier.”
